Hello everyone,

I used to turn on my TV by turning on my ps4 pro with the home button on my controller using HDMI CEC but for some reason it’s not working any more.

I have a TCL tv running AndroidOS and I don’t understand what seems to be the issue. The HDMI Link option in my ps4 is turned on as well as as the one in my TV settings. (Which i’ve read that this can be the problem but idk how?)

If anyone has a solution please enlighten me because it is very inconvenient as I don’t have a remote controller and must turn on my tv manually.

Thank you.

Suppose I want Spotify on in the background but in the lower volume compared to the volume of the program i am watching

I have a Philips Android TV (65PUT7374) and whenever I switch to a HDMI source, whatever app I am using in the TV closes on return. I have to reopen the app again and start using it. This gets a bit tiring especially when you are streaming. Is this the normal behavior or is there anyway to keep the app remain open while switching to a HDMI source?

We bought a Hisense Android TV from a certain box store famous for blue shirts and geeks. Anyway I pretty much hate the TV now. The picture is great, but that is where the good ends in my opinion. I was having all sorts of problems with the TV becoming unresponsive. Hisense finally emailed me instructions on how to load an OS update through USB. But their update seems to be only some minor cosmetic crap, and is still just as buggy as the original OS. Back in the day I used to root my Android phones, and change to a different version of Android. This got me to wondering if this is possible with Hisense Android TV. Is it possible, and are there other Android operating systems that people have had success with loading directly to the TV?

I recently heard and am looking in getting into androidTV and I had a few questions.

1. Are there free tv channels it can browse? If so how many and if you can find it what are they?
2. I have heard of hybrid android boxes. Are they just as good or would it be better to stick with straight IPTV?
3. In terms of getting specific channels are there services that provide a wide variety of channels or am i stuck paying $10 to 5 different subs a month.
4. Is there some hardware that you find is the best to use when both on and off a budget?

I am sorry if any of these are obvious but as I can find information on the hardware there's not much definitive info I can find on the tv channel subs/software

My ISP is having problems today, so I'm watching videos off the server on my LAN on my Bravia TV. Problem is, every time the Internet craps out, the TV decides the WiFi must be bad and disconnects.

Is there a setting somewhere to force the "bad" WiFi to stay connected? On Android phones I've seen a dialog pop up asking if it should stay connected, but I don't see that on the TV.

Hello world, do you know guy an app who display dolby vision in mkv like plex on the shield

Has anyone else experience that after installing a VPN add such as ExpressVPN the network disconnects and the VPN app is unable to connect to the VPN provider?

I tried with a few vpn apps but experiencing the same issue.

I've moved all my data to a 16GB usb flash drive. I have 2.2GB of free internal storage. But I still can't update any of my apps??? I can install as many new ones as I want. But can't keep the already installed ones up to date? Extremely frustrating. any ideas?

I've tried clearing the cache data on Google Play Store, Google Play Services, all apps, restarting. nothing

Hi, i just got a new smart tv from Philips and i saw that their own OS (Saphi Smart TV) and i was wondering if I can somehow change it to Google TV.

Sorry for my bad question, I'm a noob 😂

I have a Sony A8G and was gifted a Samsung Bluetooth sound bar. It connects fine in the settings and functions normally BUT every time I turn off the tv it disconnects the speaker and then doesn’t reconnect automatically when I turn it back on. I have to manually go back in to reconnect. Is that normal? Is there a settings that I can check to auto reconnect when the tv is turned back on? Thanks!

Not everybody seems to like the new launcher design. So what launchers are you using? (Screenshot appreciated)

I see the same box for sake in Amazon but different manufacturers! Is there a legitimate manufacturer?

This is just a warning to anyone who might be searching for info on this device.

None of the services mentioned in the title work with the box. It's functionally less useful than a basic Chromecast dongle.

It's a shame because in terms of performance and build quality it's pretty good.

My Girlfriend and I were given a 65' Philips Android TV for Christmas. It's one of the cheaper Black Friday ones you would find at Walmart. It's got about 6gb of Memory in it and I can not get it to save anything to a Flash drive or Micro SD card.

I wanted to know if anyone had tried to replace the memory in an Android TN? Can it be done? Is it difficult?

Hello,

Recently I've purchased Mi Box S with Android TV 9. It works great but I have one issues that is extremely annoying - out of sync audio.

My Mi Box is connected via HDMI to TV and the TV is connected via optical cable to my sound system. There is +/- 100ms of delay of audio as I can see lip sync issue.

Previously I've used Chromecast with the same TV and there was no issue with audio.

Any idea how to fix it?

Hi,

So neither me nor my SO can log into our Google accounts on a TV that she got from work. It says that the user and password does not match which we 100% that they do after many tries. This is really frustrating when this would have been a free upgrade to a smart(er) TV and now we can't get any other apps than the previously installed ones.

Have anyone experienced and fixed this? I didn't find a working solution on Google.

Thanks in advance!
