Am currently having issues with my 65 inch Sony where it’ll boot up, go to the android screen for about 3-5 seconds, freeze and power down. It then boots itself back up and does the same thing over and over. I’ve tried unplugging for short amount of time, long amounts of time, I’ve tried holding power/volume down to factory reset (I get the green light but it doesn’t do anything..still is caught in the loop). Is there anything else I can try or is my TV dead?

I just got my first smart tv - a Philips with Android TV - but I’m having some trouble setting it up. If I try to set up Live TV with my cable box hooked up with an HDMI cable, it doesn’t find any channels. When I do it with the cable plugged directly into the TV, no box involved, it finds a lot of my channels, but not all of them, plus the picture is noticeably not good and the guide doesn’t work. I can switch inputs, but it’s not very intuitive and requires we have two remotes. What can I do?

Hi,

I was playing with the settings of my external audio and activated the HDMI control option (it has CEC RHID, but no ARC), with that I can control the volume of my TV from the external sound system, and I can mute the external speaker from the TV remote control. Great. But, now both speakers (internal TV and external system) are both on all the time (with a noticeable delay). I tried turning off the TV speaker in Menu -> Speakers and selecting "External audio system", but that keeps the TV speakers on. If I choose the "TV speakers" option in the same menu, the external speaker is muted as expected. With either option, if I press mute (or lower the volume) both the TV and the external speaker gets muted.

I have an HDMI connection from the TV (JVC Android TV) to the external sound system (Onkyo TX-SR507) and a SPDIF cable for 5.1 sound from the TV to the sound system (no ARC on the sound system). Also, the TV is 4K but the sound system is only FullHD, so I need to keep this setup to have 5.1 sound (through SPDIF) and 4K video.

Any suggestion other than turning off HDMI control? Thank you!

Hi! I have a Sony Bravia TV that runs on Android TV.

Today I’ve received the error message «Wi-Fi Is Not Connected» every x minutes.

The wifi works fine on my phone and the network status test says that the connection on the TV works too.

I don’t use the smart functions on the TV, but the error messages are very annoying.

I assume that this a software and not a hardware issue.

I have checked that I have the latest software update.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Need some help on these few stuff:

b. May I know how to connect my home server to Mi 4K projector?

c. May I know how to connect 4K projector w/ my " Bluetooth " loudspeakers ?

Hi, I'm currently using my pc and phone to download files over night, is it possible to use android box like mi box s for download files constantly without turning on my TV.

I'm using ADM in my phone, it works perfectly and I can change download location to my connected USB.

I want to connect my USB to it and download everything on that.

Is it possible?, does these android boxes designed to keep working when they're not being used? Can I install ADM on them or similar app that supports Torrent download?

Thanks.

Answer is in comments ;)

Any recommendations for a tv box. I don’t care for streaming services besides YouTube. I want to use Kodi add ons smoothly. I’m looking to spend $50-80…

I am looking for a working remote app for my iPhone. Tried many but none of them are working . I have an indian Thomson TV ( showing model Globe) and is running on Android version 8.

It will be a great help if anyone can suggest

Amazon Prime was working and was able to navigate and check out various trailers. However, once I selected one and tried to play it I got an infinite loading spinner. After that, was not even able to re-enter Amazon Prime and now get the infinite loading spinner.

Naïve googling is useless:

• Yes, the account is in good standing (can watch on other devices)
• Yes, the internet connection is good (other services work + Amazon Prime itself works off of the same WiFi network on a Mac)
• Yes, the latest update to Google Home is applied

I'll google more tomorrow but this was very anti-climatic when trying to enjoy my brand-new TV.

On a related note: is it normal things are this buggy? This is a brand new TV, with the latest update applied. We had a similar annoying problem with Apple TV that required adjusting things in settings + applying updates. So far 50/50 for the most popular apps working (Netflix + HBO worked). We are tech-savvy and its hard for us... I have a hard time imaging how others don't go insane with these types of issues.

Definition of first world problem…Sorry if already discussed, just bought a Google tv chromecast and hooked it up to 5 year old LG tv. Everything works and looks great however when I click to turn off tv or ask Google assistant to turn off tv it only turns off the chromecast and the tv stays on “searching for signal”. Not sure if it’s the television or something in settings I’m missing.

Hey guys,

I purchased a mi box s and I wanted to use my cellphone( a Xiaomi mi 9t pro, but I also tried with my girlfriend's iPhone 11) as a remote control, but my mi box simply does not appear on any remote apps available, it states on the mi remote app that it should appear there if it was on the same network but it doesn't... Chromecast seem to be working fine since I can cast from Netflix for example, anyone has any idea what can be done if anything?

I'm looking for a new TV where I can control most used features using speech only. That would be: volume control, channel selection, sleep timer. Some TVs have speech recognition, but as far as I've seen you have to press a button on a remote. But if I have to grab my remote anyway I'm faster using standard buttons. So is there any AndroidTV solution where I just can say something like "Ok Google switch to channel XYZ"?

So I'm planning to buy an Android TV and was wondering if android 7.0 can run google apps, I saw that android 7.0 phones can't run google so idk if it also relates to TVs, thanks in advance.

Missed out on the Amazon Fire Cube when it was £60 recently as couldn't decide between that or the Mecool KM 2. If Amazon drop their price again then the price is comparable to the KM2. Don't mind the "ads" on Amazon or the OS but not a fan of the remote, KM2 has Android TV but coming from China, the warranty will be limited.

Has anyone tried both and how do they compare with each other?

Cheers

if i changed this from Line to RF will it force Plex to transcode 5.1 Surround to Stereo

if yes will this RF Mode affect the audio Quality ?

because im using the Tv Speakers and Plex is Not downmixing 5.1 audio to Stereo

Anyone having issues getting movies to play on Google TV? For some movies that I've had on my account for years it just spins without starting the movie. I can watch them on my phone or through other services on Google TV like HBO, but the Google TV versions won't load. It started yesterday and still happening today.

Is there a reputable brand of android box that keeps up with updates or bug fixes?

I had an app for Android TV, a file manager I think it was, that had a one click button to close all apps. But I had to factory reset my device and now I can't remember what that app was. I've installed a bunch of file managers from the play store but can't find one with that feature

Does anyone know the app that I'm talking about, or know one that does the same as?

Thanks

Hi,

I have a Sony A80J which I bought recently.

First thing I did was set it to apps only mode as I don't want full screen sized ads for Apple TV.

It was fine, until last night. The ads have come back despite being in apps only mode. I tried turning apps only mode off, restarting, then turning it back on again, no luck.

How can I get rid of them?

I tried searching and I found talk of sideloading software(?), but I'm not sure about doing that as I don't want to void my warranty

Thank you
