There may well be a reason to do that if there is no or inadequate tone-mapping available in a particular projector. If he likes how it looks - more power to him. This is, after all, a subjective hobby we all share.
I guess so. I dunno, just sounds kinda pointless.
Has the problem of the bluetooth pairing being erased at each reboot been fixed?
Erased? You can’t connect by holding the back and home buttons?
For me sometimes works, sometimes it doesn’t. It is very inconclusive and nothing we can do.
The only solution is pressing pairing buttons on remote and it starts working again.
BT sucks.
Yes, agree with vpeter. Better to not use bt. But you can use it with IR mode, as here written…
Or use your tv remote with CEC, when possible…
If you can buy a version with IR receiver(Dune) to avoid BT re-connection issues in CE…
I saw the DuneHD internals somewhere but can’t find it again.
Can someone tell me where the IR sensor is located with respect to the HDMI logo.
I want to fit my IR repeater optimally.

I thought all the bluetooth was turned off after reboot, if the pairing works it’s not a big issue. It happens all the time with BT. Regarding the IR, it will not work since my box will be in a closed cabinet.
Do you know if docker and entware work with the new aarch64 architecture?
I have no problem with the bluetooth remote here, I use my own bluetooth remote, not the bluetooth remote control from homatics.
Yep, with flirc usb + extension cable, “IR closed cabinet problem” solved… 
Docker and entware works like a harm. I’m a hard user of both.
Regarding closing the box in a cabinet… Not a great idea with s905x4 until you have a fan blowing air on it 
Seriously! I always thought that ARM-based devices were almost never hot.
My old ugoos doesn’t heat up at all!
I am glad for docker and entware.
what remote you using? Thanks
For a non dolby vision tv/ projector you can use the cheap Amazon.se to trick your player to use lldv with Custom firmware from avsforum .
My Hometics 4K has arrived and I’ve created a USB with latest CoreELEC nightly with correct dtb.
Question: How to get the box to boot from this CoreELEC USB drive? It always boots to Android (latest after it auto updated).
The Coreelec installation instructions are accurate. Make sure you did each step.
To do the very first boot (Coreelec install) you need to press and hold the reset button, while you cycle the power (unplug/plug). Hold the reset button in until you see the Coreelec logo on your screen. Then release.
After its installed, every reboot will be direct to Coreelec as long as you leave the USB drive in.

Until the CoreElec option for this boxes, I always had it in a (front) closed drawer, no issues with heating up. Now I use the Flirc and that works by IR, so closed drawer is not a great way for IR reception. Extension for USB would be an option, but now I placed it in a open space above that drawer and that solves that
I prefer one remote for both (A-TV and CE).

I typically use a USB-HID RF remotes and find any one I have better than line of sight Flirc IR. The G20 Pros with both BT and RF plus they happen to work with many of my S905x4 devices in IR mode too. It would be an ideal remote for CE if the battery life was better. On 4pda I’ve seen there are firmware updates for it but I’ve never been able to find the actual files.
For CE IR is usually need to wake devices that have that blob support.
