[Q] youtube search acting up in a weird way - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Went to search on YouTube for Firetv and the display went (for lack of a better term) wonky.
Has anyone had this happen or know of a way to fix it.
I have already restarted, cleared cache and data.
It's rooted and updates are blocked.
Screenshot to show what it looks like.

I just checked for you. Both my rooted Fire TV running 51.1.1.0_user_511070220 and my unrooted Fire TV running 51.1.3.0_user_513011520 are having the same issue.
I suspect the Fire TV YouTube app is an HTML5 app just loading a slightly modified version of http://youtube.com/tv so if that's the case, it's probably being caused by a bug on their end and will likely get fixed eventually. Not much you can do other than contact YouTube about it.

...or since you have root,install the YouTube HD Mod from XDA forums,as it does not require Google Play components like the normal YouTube app.
Heck,you don't even need root to install it because you could sideload it like any other app!
Gonna come right out and say it,Fire TV versions of YouTube and Twitch SUCK!
Their version of Twitch even lacks the ability to search.
I grabbed the 2.5.0 main version of Twitch (3.0 versions force close on Fire TV),and it works perfectly!
What seals the deal is that you can use keyboard and mouse for better compatibility with sideloaded apps,all without needing root!
Both sideloaded YouTube and Twitch work just fine when you got a keyboard like my Logitech K400r.

Moved from windows mobile, things I'm missing

Hi I love my new galaxy s but there are a few apps I'm missing from my touch pro 2.
1 myplayer - is there anything I can use to access iplayer or watch live tv?
2 scummvm - I think I saw this running on the g1 but can't find it in market place
3 is there an internet radio program I can use to enter my own stations or one with on demand content (like spotify but not spotify as I don't have an account)
Also being new to android is there any must have apps I need to get?
Thanks

there's an android version of myplayer on the app market - search for it via your phone. appbrain doesn;t seem to know abnout it though.
ScummVM for android, even though not official (yet), should be on the market.
But you can download it from HERE

[CM11]Better YouTube quality

If you do not like the quality of the video in the player "YouTube", you can replace it with an alternative "SuperTube Popup YouTube Player". It also supports background playback.
Google Play

Or you can install an older version of official YouTube app.
Playing a little with viral lite youtube player i found that enabling gpu acceleration makes the videos looks like in the official youtube app. Disabling it makes videos look fine, so i wonder if there's some way to disable gpu acceleration in the youtube app.
I use a completely different solution. I installed the Xposed module App Settings and used it to change the screen resolution for the YouTube app. That way I can choose HD instead of HQ.

How did you do that? Give more details...
Install Xposed Framework and the App Settings module. Open App Settings and navigate to YouTube. Change the settings to something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You should now be able to choose HD instead of HQ.

I installed it today, works nice on our device. Ofcourse, could be even better, but all in all, maybe the best app of this type that I've tried.
Will stick with it, thanks.

PM Plus for Honor 7

I happened to stumble across this add-on for Phone Manager in the Play Store recently. It looks legit and seems to add a genuinely useful feature or two to PM.
Thoughts? Anyone played with this?

it's an official app
i use it daily
Yes its official... Its a bit of xprivacy feeling directly coming from huawai.
I just want to let people know this:
After I installed it, all of a sudden the smart-headset button-function, as well as music controls on my Sony Smartwatch 3, didn't work for some of my music-apps. At first I thought it was a problem in the B320 firmware, but it had worked before... However, after allowing auto-launch of my music apps in the phone manager (TIDAL, for example), it worked again.
So in case anyone finds that they can't control their music via headset or smartwatch or have other issues after installing PM Plus, go to phone manager -> app auto-lauch (this is on Marshmallow, it's called "startup manager" on Lollipop, I think) and enable the apps that cause trouble
I can not find the app in Play Store. When I open the link on my laptop, under the name of the app there is a X sign with the text "This app is incompatible with your device." When I click on the text it appears "Vodafone HUAWEI PLK-L01", my device.
Does anyone know why I got this message, why the app is not compatible with my device??

Huawei Watch 1 - what's the latest OTA version?

I've read a bunch of posts here and on reddit and I'm a bit confused. Can someone confirm what the current / latest OTA Android Wear / Wear OS version should be on a stock HW1?
I'm at 2.0.0.xxxx but I keep hearing reports of people being on newer versions. like 2.9 and 2.12. My watch says it's up to date. Anyone know for sure? And if I should have something newer, does anyone have an idea about how to get it?

OK, like an idiot I figured this out myself just minutes after posting
Maybe this will help someone in the future -- don't use the built-in "Update" funtion in settings. Open the Play Store on the watch and you'll see a Wear OS update at the top of the "Essentials for Wear OS" category.
Updating to Wear OS directly from Play Store took me to 2.16:

Where do you see anything related to Wear OS in the Play Store without searching? My PS has nothing about that, and the watch is updated whenever I update the Wear app.

Sorry I had a typo in there. Play store on the watch has the update option (not phone)

[HELP] Dexon TV - S68AT02 TV Based (MStar Android)

I've been searching the web all week and I cant seem to figure a solution for this TV.
So My TV is called Dexon UH55D24SM 55" (4K) It seems like just another rebranded Mstar TV thats based on S68AT02 Board, very similar to many TCL old TV's in terms of UI and firmware, I cant seem to be able to find an exact match for it though, this brand seem to be specifically made to be sold in the Middle East. Its a very horrible Android knockoff TV that cant access google play store since its outdated, but as a standalone panel it looks fine.
My main issue with it is that I bought a Xiaomi Mi Box S and connected it via HDMI, and I cant put the resolution to 4k60Hz unless I go into the "Dexon TV settings and set HDMI to 2.0 instead of the default 1.4"
and then it would work as 4k60Hz no problem.
But whenever I shutdown the TV or even put it in standby mode it would automatically revert HDMI type to 1.4 which then means I have to manually set it to 2.0 and re-change the resolution on the Mi Box everytime I wanna use the TV.
I tried to follow some guides on the russian forum and here that are based off the TCL TV (that seems to have the same board) to try and fix the google play store but It failed and I didn't processed fearing I might brick the TV and since the TV has literally no information about it online that'll be tough to fix.
The Device Firmware: V8-S68AT02-LF1V131
if you google the firmware, you wont find anyone with the LF1V131, most people have other numbers at the end that are used for TCL TV's.
I honestly dont care about its smart functionality anymore I've got the Mi Box S, I just wanna fix the darn HDMI Type, and wondering if its possible to do if theres a way to modify the firmware or whatever.
(Sorry I cant link anything due to not having enough posts on this account)
I found its remote being sold on amazon that works with 10 billion other TV's (TCL/ Raylan / ACONATIC) the remote is called "RC311FMI4 06-531W53-TY02X"
