Welcome to Android Central! Which Android TV box? Can you show us a screenshot? http://forums.androidcentral.com/gen...d-central.html

I moved this to the Android TV forum for more specific traffic.

Hi, thanks for the welcome.
It is a H96Max
I have attached a picture of the popup.

It's clearly some sort of system menu, but I'm not sure why it keeps coming up. Have you tried a factory reset?

[Nrom01]

Tried a reset yes but it still came back

[B. Diddy]

Maybe there's a problem with the remote control that's sending the wrong command to the box constantly? http://www.gearbest.com/blog/how-to/...to-fix-it-9515

Otherwise, there's probably not much else you can do. I doubt the company that makes the box provides any kind of customer support. This is one of the big disadvantages of buying one of these direct-from-China devices. I would recommend Chromecast with Google TV instead -- I have two, and they're excellent (and inexpensive).

I have the same box twice and it happens on one but not the other so cannot fogure out what is causing it. Even when remote not used it still pops up

[Android Central Question]

I keep receiving this menu
I have no idea what it says
It keeps comping back after few seconds like around every minute or so
Can someone read it and tell me how to get rid of it?
Thanks!

Google Lens and Google Translate have, hand-in-hand, produced results that are simply astonishing, and all so quickly and easily done.

I had some idea that maybe what stuff says. why does it keep popping up? how do I stop it?
I saw a similar post from someone on the xda forum, but no answer...
I wonder what's causing this because it interrupts whatever is playing, stays there for 3 or 4 seconds then I get the home menu
it didn't do it before

You can ask at XDA Forum also I'm not sure members here tinker with TV box much

I merged this thread into another recent thread about the same issue in the Android TV forum.

[H96Curious]

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I'm new to android in general, so I wasn't sure how "niche" a tv box would be
I'd be happy to ask on the xda forum, but it didn't strike me as useful, there is already one thread about it without an answer

I'm sure someone here will see this and can suggest some useful info. I didn't expect an immediate answer/solution. I'm grateful for the responses and help I already received, especially the mods. If I find a solution on my end, I'll post it.

In the meantime, message in a bottle

update:

I followed this guy's video, it seems to help. I actually went further than that, I disactivated / deleted / disabled a lot of google stuff in android. He talks about options in google play, I don't have an account there, I don't use it and a lot of that stuff I never use or care about takes significant amount of energy/cpu from the box. Some stuff is actually sending data to google, so that also is stopped, I delete if I can if not I disable. People with the issue should try these steps.

if you are a person interested in privacy you should also take a close look at what's running in your box, you won't stop everything but you shouldn't make it easy to collect your data either. Bring a drink, relax and go to Apps and take a look at them one by one. Get your computer and google every single one one of them to see if it's something you want or need, if not delete / disable. be ruthless. Don't think about some far future potential, if you don't need it immediately, kill it. You can always install it or enable when that day of your dreams arrives.
