I tried installing vpn but nothing it stays the same

My new iffalcon tv (50K31) is autoinstalling two apps, one named 'Free Gift Card' and the other is 'ChatNow'. They are allowed to be uninstalled but keep getting reinstalled a few seconds after I do so. Is this a security issue? What can I do to stop this?

Hi,

I’m considering buying an Android TV box for my university accommodation. However, we use “eduroam” WiFi with WPA2 Enterprise. I tried a Chromecast but it wouldn’t work, so I wanted to ask if Android TV would have any more luck?

Thank you so much!

When pairing bluetooth headphones/speakers to a Google TV, will it continue to send sound to the TV speakers? My father's hearing isn't the best and he needs to use headphones to hear the TV. However, other people in the room still want to listen to the TV.

If I pair headphones with his Google TV, will it continue to play audio through the TV speakers as well?

Hi there!

I have a Mi Box 3 and I use my bluetooth headphones with it but when I use them with my phone I have to re-pair them with the box.

Is there an app to control this?

I've beeb searching through the web all this while, and I couldn't found the answer. So how do you properly power off the android TV. Not an android box.

When i cast to my built in chromecast i get weird pixelation problems with vertical bars of different quality. Its very odd. It doesnt happen with the youtube app on the box. Anyone know why?

I work for the local ISP in my area and they have received new AndroidTV boxes. So I got 3 of them for my house. Hooked one up and went to bed. My family and I wanted to watch NETFLIX!! NO FING NETFLIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's NOWHERE. Not in the app store either. I tried to download the APK and send it to my device. It loads and says NOT compatible with my device. I installed the NON-AndroidTV version and it worked but can't see where you are clicking.

The device is a KAON. No info online about the device.

How can I get Netflix on this box or am I FUBARed!

Hey all. Just looking for advice for an AndroidTV box. I used to have a Nexus, but that failed a few months ago. I was using a firestick, but that's starting to go and I miss using my USB stick to watch movie files. I was looking at the MI S and Ematic. Here's my dilemma, though. I started watching Prime Video and supposedly neither are able to run Prime. Any good boxes that are able to run Prime Video as well as Disney+?

Edit: I should add that I'm also looking for something that's able to handle a multiple USB port dongle. Also, not looking to spend that much on a Shield.

Hello. The Chrome browser on my laptop does not detect my Chromecast with Google TV for casting. They are both on the same Wifi network. But the Youtube and the Netflix app on my phone detects and casts fine. Also, the browser detects the Roku on my TV though. Any thoughts?

I've only ever had a Chromecast Ultra which doesn't let you use video while it's in ambient mode, but thinking of getting the Chromecast with Google TV. All I have found is ways to do it on Android TV from sources prior to Chromecast with Google TV but not sure if they're still relevant.

Does anyone know if it's pretty much done the same way as in the past or is there anything different about Chromecast with Google TV that wouldn't allow this, such as not being able to use videos as a screensaver like the older Chromecasts?

Did anybody else have a problem getting Netflix to honor the six month credit from Google?

Netflix may be trying to squeeze customers for extra months of service beyond their promotions by falsely claiming there is a problem with the customer's back-up payment method.  When redeeming the six month credit, NF demands customers give them a back-up payment method even though no money is due when they sign-up.  No problem with that, as it is standard with all promotional sign-ups from other companies.  But I ENDED UP HAVING TO PAY UPFRONT just to get them to accept my card and use the credit that came with the CCwGTV bundle.

I bought a package deal from Google for a ChromeCast with GoogleTV bundled with 6 months of Netflix for $90+tax.  When I tried to sign up for Netflix using the included NF credit, the NF website told me there was "a problem with my payment method".  I called my credit card company, Citi Card,  and they said NF NEVER TRIED THE CARD.  To be sure this was correct, I asked to talk to a Citi supervisor.  The supe guaranteed me NF had not tried the card, else there would be a record of it on my account.  He also assured me my account was in good standing.  Also, they had heard this same thing happening to other customers.  They said the problem was NF.  

Called NF, they suggested I buy a gift card (minimum $25) and use that to sign up with.  Didn't want to do that as I was owed the $84 CCwGTV credit and likely won't keep NF after the six months. Tried five different cards from two different CC companies and got the same message,  "a problem with my payment method".  

Now get this: when I signed up for a NF account w/o trying to use the google promotional credit, my payment method miraculously was now fine and dandy -- the same card that wasn't good as back-up payment when trying to use it to redeem the promotion! Only then could I get my six month credit.

I checked on-line and many other people reported the same thing when NF used to have the free 30 day trial, "a problem with [the] payment method"
Are they doing this to ensure they are going to get some cash out of people who sign-up using a promotion?  It wasn't like I was getting six months of NF for free, as the Google bundle cost way more than buying the Google ChromeCast by itself.  If I had had to buy the NF gift card to sign-up, they would get an extra $25 besides what ever Google pays NF, or they would get the cost of the extra month I had to pay to get them to let me sign-up and apply the Google promotion credit.

Whenever i cast Netflix from my phone to the tv i am told to sign in, but there's another account already signed in. Is it possible to sign in with both accounts or to at least disable the "sign in on the tv to cast" thing? Thanks

I noticed that Chromecast Beta app got updated on December 6th and I went to go check if I could add one of my official Android TV's to a Google Home Speaker Group and......

I could add my Nvidia Shield 2019 (Tube version) to the speaker group in my Google Home app!!!

Nvidia Shield 2017 or Mi Box S however could not be added. Anybody else add their Nvidia Shield 2019 (Pro or regular)?

Just got an ad for the movie Songbird in the top carousel that explicitly says "Sponsored." First time seeing that. It disappeared when I scrolled through the carousel and I can't trigger it anymore.

Also Songbird has a 9% Rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

*Sry for bad English.

Weeks ago, my local company released its own streaming service which include an ip tv for free.

I don't like the app itself, but welp, i could use Amazon, hbo, n Netflix so.

I Found out that Netflix isn't available on play store, but i could install it as an apk via USB, but i can't because unknown sources aren't enabled, but i can't enable them. There is no Security Options on Settings, and when i click to send me there on my file explorer app, i can see a right panel that says 'Not available for this user' and pops out.

I've saw that if you write " m start --user 0 -n com.android.settings/.SecuritySettings. " on an Terminal could work, but still i can't download any Android Terminal Emulator via Play Store so.

​

I can't become developer too, when i click 3 times on the option it sends to me to an a Logger.

I've checked the App permisions to the file explorer for install unknown sources and there isn't any.

​

Its Android 10.

Thanks ~

I bought a new Chromecast with android TV but I am unable to prevent it from going into sleep mode. I set turned on the developer options and set it to not go to sleep while charging to no avail.

Is there a way to prevent it from sleeping? I use Kodi, and I would prefer android TV to stay on so that Kodi can auto update its library among other things.

As a diehard Apple fan (IMac, IPhone, IPad etc..) My house is has 3 TV’s all with an AppleTV box on them. I kept hearing about Google TV. I bought one and thought I’d try it. I have had it for about 2 weeks now and I haven’t used my Apple TV once!!

The interface as a YoutubeTV user and having it integrated is awesome. Also the watchlist and “Thumbs up/down” features are almost TiVo like which I really missed until now. It has been suggesting so many movies and shows across my apps that I constantly have something to watch. Plus sideloading apps and adding storage has made this a dream stream for me.

I almost feel guilty because I have convinced my relatives to all invest in Apple TV boxes when really all they need is this. Have any other Apple users found limitations “other than lack of Apple+” that have made them not like the Google TV or am I missing something?

Can the MI Box 4k be added to a speaker group?
