Looking for some help on recommendations with gps spoofing. Spent a fair bit of time poking around the internet, built my own open vpn and have that working and can gps spoof my computer to trick the google play store with the vpn running. However, any luck with anyone to one-click or no-click a gps spoofing option on an android box? I've looked at skylift and that seems to be ok, but is only 2.4ghz. Can you put extensions on chrome on the android box and will that work?

I'm open to using an Amazon fire stick or something too.

I'm interested to hear anyone's thoughts or pointers.

Just canceled my TCL Android TV order when I realized there is no mute, my Mi Android TV stick also doesnt have a mute but then at least you still have the mute on the TV remote. Is this the same for every Android TV?

I found my previously lost X96 mini during our move and don't have the remote, any suggestions? I've downloaded remote app but says it wants me to go thru steps on mini box to sync with remote app but w/out remote I can't. Help?

Is there any known way to prevent connection leaks with a kill switch with this device? Thinking about trying the Eddie Client with Air VPN when it arrives and seeing if that'll work. Any VPN clients yall recommend that would allow a killswitch?

Hi All,

I’m getting frustrated with my ageing fire stick 4k. It’s rather sluggish through the menus and regularly hangs.

I’m wondering what he community recommends in regards to a streaming stick upgrade. It needs to be able to handle 4k x265 streams from the plex server.

I’m wanting nvidia shield performance but understand it may not be possible, is there anything in this price band that comes close to the performance?

So far I’ve briefly looked at the mi box s and chromecast with Google tv. I’m also considering rooting and then customising the fire stick but I’m unsure of how much of an improvement to expect.

Apologies for the vague post, I’m trying to decide the best course from the three options,

1-tweak the current fire stick (will it really improve things much?)

2- mid range device

3- just bite the bullet and go for a shield tv.

Any and all input is appreciated and welcome

Making this post to hopefully help out those who have posted (including myself), about not being able to turn on/off your chromecast built in android TVs with a google assistant speaker or hub. Since day one, I’ve been able to turn off my tv with google assistant no problem. But turning it ON never worked. Recently, I also began having trouble with the assistant casting Netflix, it’s says it’s doing it, but nothing happen on the tv (Use to work fine before, YouTube didn’t have this issue). So I yet again went into the tv settings (Hisense U68G in case your wondering), and found an option called “ Cast to Wake”, after enabling this, I was suddenly able to turn my tv on, as well as off, using google assistant on my nest hub. I also have no more problem with the assistant not playing Netflix on tv using voice. So, I’m sure this “wake on cast” may be called something else on your brand of tv, but it’s worth looking for it, seeing if it’s disabled, and turning it on. That’s assuming you’ve done all the other basic trouble shooting like making sure CEC (or whatever it may be called on your brand of tv), is enabled, permissions are set on both the tv and google home, and services are linked in both google home app and the tv settings. Hope this helps someone.

Wifi went out, and I'm trying to connect to my phones hotspot so I can watch some Disney+

Whenever you put the right password, the TV will become unresponsive and just not connect, even when waiting for 5+ minutes.

If you put the wrong password, the TV will try to connect to the hotspot, but in the end of course, won't let you connect with the wrong password.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi.

​

Short question.

Can I stream games from my PC to the Shield Pro and use a Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard so I can play while sitting on the couch?

I've got a Sony TV with Android TV. No issues with it since 2017.

I'm now getting an "Account action required" notification, which says that I have been signed out of my Google account and I need to sign back in.

When I try to sign in, the screen usually goes black before I finish entering my password (typing a password using a remote is a pain!).

I've tried removing my Google account from the TV, but it doesn't work (it still remembers the account).

I've tried doing a factory reset through the menu, but it doesn't work. It seems like the TV does a normal reset instead of a factory reset.

I've tried following instructions for doing a physical factory reset rather than through the menu (the instructions I've found are: (1) Unplug TV; (2) Press and hold three buttons on the TV - volume up, power, volume down; (3) Plug in TV and continue holding the three buttons), but nothing happens.

It seems like whatever I do, I will get a black screen within about a minute of turning the TV on. However, when I get the black screen, the TV is not frozen. Buttons such as 'Discover' and volume work, and I can hold the power button down to get the reset option.

Sometimes on the black screen I will get the spinning wheel popping up every now and then, and other times I will get the "Account action required" message popping up in the top-right corner every now and then.

Anyone familiar with this and know how to fix it?

I was wondering if there's any news about the android 11 update for the TCL C715. Currently running version: V8-R851T02-LF1V606.017688. Hope you guys can help me out.

Hi, i recently purchased an android tv to play on my ps4, some games have problems using the 43" or the 4k so they appear all blurry (an example is ark) but I cant find a way to reduce the resolution, any help? Thanks in advance

Got a Hisense TV a while back for only $400, which was an amazing price for a 65" 4K tv, but I can see why it's so cheap now, this thing is a piece of shit. I really just want to sit down and use my tv without having to troubleshoot. I have random moments where I just have to restart the tv, which is just really annoying. The OS on this tv is just shit. The big issue of today is the Chromecast, which has never been all that great to begin with. Casting to YouTube would just in general not do anything, at all, no error, just wouldn't work, and today, when I tried casting to it, it gave me an error saying, "untrusted device". Would custom firmware fix some, if not all my issues?

Hi, guys! I have an Amazon gift card so I can get the Tivo device for about $19.60. Then I checked the Walmart website and they have their Onn UHD box for $19.88. Since the price difference is so small, which one would you recommend me to get? Thanks in advance

I remember having installed ES File explorer on my MI/Xiaomi android TV in 2019 and then suddenly when it was pulled off the playstore, the app was automatically removed from my TV. Now, a similar thing happened with one of my sideloaded app on my new 2021 sony android TV. How do i stop this?

I've had the google TV phone app since the re-design and launch of the google tv Chromecast. Under notifications I see that there is an option to be notified when a title on your watchlist becomes available. Oddly enough though, I've never received any notification at all from the app.

I've switched on and off all of the toggles and don't see anything muted or restricted. Anyone else having this issue or have any suggestions?

Thanks!
