So I was trying to do a factory reset on my kodak tv and I accedently clicked boot with bootloader and now it won't get past the logo screen after power on.

I tried everything like pressing and holding the power button, turning the tv off then hold the power button and turn it on etc. I have been throught thousands of tutorials but they don't help so please see it you can help me.

My tv model is kodak hd led tv 32HDXSMART 80 CM

Edit: I don't have a usb a male to male cable so if you have any idea on how I can get into fastboot mode with a phone please tell that too

Does YouTube TV not work for anyone else on Shield? The logo comes up and the circle just spins. I've tried rebooting and uninstalling and reinstalling the app. App works fine on my phone and Roku. Just having trouble on Android TV.

Hello I am trying to add ssd to my android TV but here is the issue: When I plug my ssd it shows as removable storage and when I click on the disk it give me the option to "erase & format as removable storage" and no option for formatting as internal storage.

I tried different cables, drives, formatting the disk from my pc.

My TV running. Android TV version 11.

Anyone had this issue before.

edit: after many restarts and diffrent cables and drives, i plugged the drive and got a notification on right side on home screen to setup device (no mention on formating as internal drive on settings just "setup device") and it worked

As title says really

I can see similar questions have been asked but it's been nearly a year, so going to risk asking again.

I have a budget T65 Android TV box. It *does* have a miracast app ("Miracast Receiver") which shipped with the device. About 90% of the time, my windows 10 laptop fails to connect, though I have had better success with Android devices (box has a separate Chromecast function, so I can tell when which protocol is in use).

I would like to replace the native app with a better one, but I have read multiple warnings that this would require not only root but other under-the-hood changes that are apparently needed since Android 7, at which time some sort of additional security was added to Miracast. The installed Miracast Receiver is listed as a System App. Anyone have good suggestions where to go look for a fairly comphrehensive how-to? I'm pretty savvy but have not really delved into Android internals before.

We have a few nVidia Shield devices, and back in 2019 we scrolled through the Android 'Play' store for games and download and even bought a few (ex: Red Ball 4).

However, over the last few years checking out the store, there's literally nothing new. Ever. It's the same 30-ish games shown, and the individual search of titles always ends up with nothing special.

Am I missing something?

Can't be a dead platform, as Hungry Shark Evolution on Android TV gets constant updates.

WHAT’S A GOOD WEB BROWSER FOR THE SONY X900E? I CAN’T FIND GOOD BROWSER IN THE GOOGLE PLAY STORE?

I have a Philips Android TV and I'm not sure where to post this question so I thought I might try here. The only button that is currently working on my remote is the Google assistant button. All the other buttons will make the remote's light flash but nothing happens on the TV. I cannot find anything online that is helpful. I've tried replacing the batteries, as well. Any ideas?

Stupid noob question but I have been trying google for hours with no clear answer.... Using Phillips OLED806 Smart Android TV and loaded KODI on it.

Would it be possible to hook up Dolby headphones through the HDMI EARC or at least HDMI ARC and have surround sound out of it when playing movies from KODI on the Android TV itself you think? Looking at buying an expensive headset like the JVC EXOFIELD and want to be sure.

P.S. Yes I live in a noisy environment so a headset is needed not a soundbar :(

I have a TV with AndroidTV built in. Having some issues with Plex. I am thinking the answer is no but I thought I would reach out. Android is very "sideloadable"

I've done some googling, but I'm not sure if an Android TV box is what I'm looking for or if there's another name for it. It seems like every device I've found just focuses on streaming online content instead of playing local files. Would be greatly appreciated if somebody could point me in the right direction!

Something that can do both would be fine of course, but playing media files off a drive is the main thing I'm after.

Hi, so what the title says - I'm thinking of selling my LG tv and switching over to Phillips (not sure about the model yet, but this is more about the functionality). I'd love some thoughts on it guys.

So the reason behind it would be:

1. Android OS over LG OS. Why - to use my VPN services now I really have to struggle, I bought FireTV stick so I could use my TV with Alexa and also have an option to switch between VPN servers quickly. Problem is, LG doesn't support Alexa (at least in my country, I know right?) so I cannot even turn TV on/off with voice. I can change Netflix shows or switch between Netflix and Prime, but that's something I don't really care about. Phillips TVs seem to work no problem with Alexa (not 100% sure but it looks like it) and has Android therefore I should be able to simply download VPN app (they have one for Android) and use it without FireTV (less cables, less remotes, less struggle);
2. Ambient light. I've bought Govee lights with camera hoping that I can attach the LEDs and set the camera and I'll get the same or at least close result to pre-installed LEDs but it's far from reality - camera doesn't really catch all of the colours, it has a delay and overall experience is just not as I want it. TV which comes with ambient light sounds like a much better option here.

So the question is, do any of you have experience with Android OS vs LG OS and can asure me that I am correct and maybe any of use have Phillips with ambient lights and can confirm it is really worth a shot. Any opinions are highly appreciated, thanks!

Hey everyone, as the title says I'm interested in getting this tv. Now the problem is that my brother has a similar one, also Philips tv and he always experiences lags, freezes, and sometimes he needs to unplug tv so it can work again. Is that something that happens to everyone? Would i be making a great choice by getting 8106? Thank you for the help

Hi,

I have a pansonic tv with android tv, google assistant and remote control installed. When I speak to the remote control microphone the google assistant start (correct) but the search is always limited to youtube.

Is there a way to speek into remote control (google assistant key) and that a browser will open with the google search results?

Hi everyone,

I have a 4k TCL smart tv and my app MyCanal shows 4k content for some 4k smart tv (Samsung, Sony...).

I'd like to ask if there is a way to display a fake ID for this app to get the 4k content for my TCL 4k smart tv.

Thank you.

Hi...I'm in Houston and ATSC 3.0 has just been switched on. Our NBC affiliate channel now carries an interactive side menu where you can watch local news, weather, feature clips etc. at any time.

If I play one of these side menu clips, it starts ok but after 5 seconds I get an error message saying "No signal. Antenna not connected or program unavailable" and the picture slowly fades to the black waffle screen. The sound continues until the end of the clip.

Just teething issues? Model is Bravia 4K VH2 kernel 4.19.75 running Android 10

Just want to check If you guys have recommended settings for TCL P725 model have tried searching but no information found for this particular model. Currently have the 50 inch variant. Thanks in advance

I know this question/idea will get a lot of hatred in here but I can't help it. Wonder if anyone ever made a launcher that looks like Apple's and if not, I'd like to know the possible reasons why not

Hi,

Anyone have suggestions? There's so many and I don't know what to choose.

This is what I know what I would want:

• Google certified
• Preferably USB 3 and or SD card capabilities. I torrent so putting videos on a USB or SD card to watch via box would be great.
• Because of the videos I would play, multiple codecs would be needed.
• At least 1080p. I saw that some Mecool boxes only have Netflix and Prime video streaming at 480p max?
• In terms of streaming, I have all the regular ones such as Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, ESPN+, HBO, Peacock, etc
• I've seen some boxes at 2 or 4 GB. Will it matter in the long run? I would like to use this for a long time.
• In terms of price, I would consider anything under $100.
