  • Hi all Formuler Z7+ users,


    Since the last Formuler Z7+ update, my Formuler Z7+ takes a long time to start up, and it reboots during this process. Bebore this las update it took 30 seconds and no reboot.


    Also it dosn't display all the icons on the launher screen, it display the (+) sign instead of the application icons. But if I press the (+) sign it opens the correct application.


    I have done a video showing the behaviour:

    I have alredy set to factory defaults two times, and the behaviour is the same.


    Am I missing something here?


    Any ideas how to solve this?

    Hi,


    it`s obvious android have some problems, the boot time is to high and missing icons on start. If you already done factory reset and like i can see you use already last fw, there are no so much possibility's except to wait upcoming Update end of March. Then you will be able to install new fw trough OTA. Sorry to not have better solution for you.


    You can only try to plug out all your sd card, USB sticks etc. to see if the problem is then gone. exFAT formatted devices still makes problems.

    Hi,


    Thanks for the feedback and detailed video.


    Can you make a short video of when you do the Factory Reset?
    Need to see the state of the box immediately after Factory Reset.


    Steps:
    1. Start Recording
    2. [lexicon]Settings[/lexicon] >> System >> Factory Reset
    3. Wait for reset to complete
    4. Complete setup wizard
    5. Wait for Launcher to appear.
    6. Stop recording

  • My workaround for slow boot is when z7+ logo stays on for long, to press the power button for 1-2 seconds(the green light on the box blinks twice). It goes to check for updates almost instantly.


    This is works for me every time.


    Try it and let us know if it works for you.

  • when I get a long boot or a cycle of restarts I hit the channel Up button 3 or 4 times when I see the circles boot video and then boots fine without a restart.


    Since last update my box boots fine
