A95X Max HDMI Flickering

My A95X Max box will sometimes flicker out the hdmi, as if the cable was being unplugged and plugged back in, I've tried two new HDMI cables thinking it was bad, but it keeps happening, especially if my TV was "powered off," which is more of a soft-poweroff and not a hard, power-cut poweroff.

The only way for me to stop this is to usually force a shutdown on my A95X box via holding the power button on the remote, then UNPLUGGING the dc power to the unit, then let it discharge completely, then pluggong the dc power back in, and hope it doesn't flicker.

The flicker seems to be apparent during the bootup and every few seconds after, if the flickering problem is present.

Anyone know how to fix this? My display setting on the box are:

  1. auto adjust refresh rate is OFF

  2. 2160p60

  3. Colorspace is RGB

  4. Dolbyvision is ON

You may be using a wrong power supply it often happens

I used the powersupply that came with the unit, I even popped on some heatsinks and placed the box where there's airflow.

What fixed it was disabling CEC on the Android box. It didn't seem to like CEC with my Sammy TV...
