Just ordered for a Curbside pickup here in Overland Park Ks. Not sure how many were in stock, but I’m giving this one a test drive. If I like its behavior and adding my third party apps, I’ll replace these disappointing 4-k firestix. Not being able to remove unused preloaded apps to free up space sucks, just doesn’t work with me. It’s like buying a $95,000.00 Truck, and not being able to CONTROL THE LIGHTS! At 70 yrs I don’t need child programming, or music (All iTunes), photos etc.

I would like to know what all the hype is for this unit.
It has only got 2gb ram and 32 gb storage.
I have a couple of boxes that work well and they have 4 gb ram 128 gb storage. The second box has 8 gig ram with 128 gig rom and the ability to install another internal 2” hd I’ve had them for at least a year and was waiting to see if any newer ones were coming out with more ram and storage.
What am I missing?

It’s supposed to have 3gb of ram, maybe you’re missing 1gb of ram.

Miki,
I personally switch to a Chromecast a few years ago, I tried the fire stick and did not like it at all. Tried the fire cube when it first came out not like that either. Also had the Nvidia shield which I’ve told you before did not like that also. My favorite so far has been the Google Chromecast 4K and using that for the last 3 years. Setting up this one now Hopefully I prefer this more being as more space and more RAM which was a problem on the Chromecast. Thank you for replying Miki You’re definitely my favorite informative person on this app. Your vast knowledge has never led me in the wrong direction. You’re my favorite go-to on here.

Set this up in my back room for now just to get it started. Working great.
I am amazed at the speed test results. I am getting over 130mps (topped at 155mps) on the Onn pro and usually get about 110mps on my Nvidia Shield tv pro in the same room.
And that is with IPVANISH vpn on.
Now its not Analiti but the speed tester available in the playstore. Dont think it would make a big difference in results.
Upload speed were doubled.
Wondering what the results will be in the living room, much closer to the router, where i plan to set it up in a day or 2.

IMHO this new ONN box is a game changer and personally I cant see how Buzztv or Formuler etc…can stay in the game with their price points. Forget amazon sticks as they aint even in the game.

Oh on Woot. It’s a Refurb. But still a great price.

I think so, I got one and so far like it a lot. Still a few sideload app problems, but minor.
Okay so far so good up and running my biggest gripe so far is the volume button, If anyone holds up the volume up or down does it automatically higher or lower the volume. For some reason on my TV I have to press up repeatedly or down repeatedly to get the volume to go up or down. Normally on all devices I own I can hold the button up or down and it will function that way. This one has a manual up and down selection which I find pretty horrible in 2024. Other than that everything seems to be fine I’ll give an update after a few days of using.
Just went to the Walmart in Howell NJ. Ordered and said will arrive tomorrow. good luck.

Checked for 2 days, finally picked one up this morning!!! It’s Christmas in May for me!!
Just installed Wolf Launcher on my new Onn 4k pro and now I have a black screen with partials listings. How can I uninstall and or reboot the Onn box?
I cannot access settings to do a reboot. Screen is locked.
Unplugged the unit and left it sit for awhile. Turned it back on and everything working as it should.

Still out not available in my area. Thinking I might get one since it has 32gb of storage. I just hate to have to create a gmail email address to use the device. I have to many email addresses already. Wish I could use the outlook email I created for my firesticks.
