Anybody?

Having the same issue, just updated to SlimKat today and everything connects fine except my Xbox, I have no idea why though.
Edit: Just my luck, I restore my nandroid and it STILL doesn't work...now I'm mad.
Edit 2: Okay! I'm not taking the plunge to go back to 4.4 just to go back to 4.3 but try this, under your wireless settings on the xbox, choose your hotspot and scroll to additional settings, then click restore defaults and see if it'll connect then, if it does let me know.

ive tried
uninstall/reinstall
clear cache and data and re sign in
reset to factory default of fire stick
DNS to googles 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4

called amazon
no one knows the answer. clearly there should be a solve easier then replacing the device??
any help greatly appriciated.
thanks
Do you have a video on pause in the background in Kodi?
No I don't even have Kodi installed.
I have narrowed to problem down to the netflix app.
Been playing YouTube for a while now without any issues at all.
No one else has experienced Netflix crashing on video load?
Any devs here?
I am pretty certain the problem is due to bad coding in the netflix app, since some nexus TV users were having this issue also.
I want to side load play store version of Netflix apk on to this thing. Are they the same app? Is this even possible and will the android play store version of Netflix run on FireOS?
Thanks
Can a mod move this to help and trouble shooting please? I just realized I posted in the wrong forum.
Thanks

Try clearing the cache in Amazon Instant Video app. Then Clear its data, don't worry you don't have to sign back in. Then clear cache in instant video app again. restart stick. Let us know if it helps

doesnt help mate.
can i install the phone version of netflix APK on the firestick? will it have issue of screen size differences?
I have found that if I use the netflix mobile app on a phone to find a video, and then "cast" it to the fire stick, it plays every single time with no problems. Video after video no issues. I can even exit app on phone and it keeps playing in the stick.
You may want to try this with the YouTube app also because it offers the cast functionality as well.
Based on this I know for sure it is not ISP related or hardware related. It is improperly coded app that was not properly tested before it was released.
behold the solution folks

If you're having problems with Netflix loading to 99% and then crashing: Log on to your Netflix account via web browser on your computer, go to "your account" which is the settings page, and click test participation and toggle it off. That will make Netflix stop trying to play the Sense 8 ad that is causing this issue.

Wow! You were determined to find a solution and you did! Thanks! Netflix wasn't crashing for me but I was having the same problem above where it loaded to 99%. I haven't been able to test for results yet. Shouldn't take long. This annoying glitch popped up about 3 times daily...

Cannot download apps without being on WIFI

Hello everyone.
I just purchased a brand new S8+ from Best Buy, unlocked as "T-Mobile." They asked me which carrier I had, I guess so I get the unlocked version of that variant? I dunno. The phone model is SMG955U1ZKAX, for what it's worth.
Anyway, my apps are stalling if I tried to download on mobile network (LTE), but will always work on Wifi.
It doesn't say that it's waiting for WiFi or anything. They just sit at "downloading" and the little arrow notification flashes for a second and goes away.
Things I've tried:
Clearing cache and data for Google Play Store, and GP Services.
Reset the device to factory.
Installing the latest Google Play Store apk from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-8-0-22-release/
My problem isn't resolved. This is pretty inconvenient because if I'm out and need to download an app because I forgot, I simply cannot download it until I'm on a wifi network.
Anyone else know about this issue or know how to perhaps resolve it?
Thanks.
I'm having the same problem right now. Any solution.

stuff, while you mention the steps you took to correct the problem, you didn't mention some others that might fix the problem.
Screenshot 1: In the Play Store settings, make sure auto-update is on any time
SS #2: Go to Settings\Data Usage\Mobile data usage. Find the Play Store
SS #3 and 4: Click the Play Store and make sure you allow for background data usage. You can do the bottom one as well, but not necessary. Repeat for both Google Play Services and Media (called Media Storage on Samsungs.)
Go into your Settings and delete data for Download Manager.
sorry to dredge
So I noticed nobody had a solution. Might I suggest once you've made sure you have downloads set to both wifi and data that you turn on your wifi but do not select a network. It should start the downloads as soon as wifi is technically on.

Yes I'm Back! - Apps only use Wifi, Not Data

Ok so I've come from a Note10+ with Pie, now kinda dead, to a Note 10+ with 11 (whatever they call that).
Play Store, Ebay and others will not connect over data, they insist on the Wifi network or there's no network according to them.
Of course Data is on etc, etc.
You would thnk by the 11th try at a mobile O/S they might have got it right by now....but then Microsoft...well I won't go there.
Any idea's why they are ignoring a perfectly good data connection that Opera is fine with and others?
Thank you.

Is this happening after upgrading?
In playstore setting check the app download is enabled only mobile data or not, if it set to wifi only, set it for mobile data and wifi{similar options}, try clearing app data
Settings/applications/playstore/storage or data, clear it

Nope, won't play the game.
I noticed that the setting "Mobile data only apps" is greyed out for some reason, it will not let me tell it to allow apps to use data.
Why on earth would it be greyed out?
Of course it is set to off.
Any idea's about that?
Thank you.

check in setting data permissions to app, if internet data is enabled for google play service and play store then it should work on internet data, try clearing app data in settings

I did try as you suggested but it hasn't helped unfortunately.
I really don't feel like resetting the phone, its only new and I just finished setting it up!
But it is starting to annoy me now.
check under settings/connections/data usage that data saver is off
Lol, I stayed on Pie... no issues.
Android 11 is known to be a pain.
If you have unlimited an data plan, disable wifi.
Clear system cache and do a network reset.
Factory reset...
If you didn't do a factory reset after upgrading to 11 or if you used SmartSwitch, factory reset.
If you can't find the cause of this issue suspect malware... factory reset.
Rootkit infections are very rare unless you do something stupid but they can happen.
Android 9 and above are not susceptible to the "immortal" rootkits, a factory reset will purge any infection on the internal memory.
If doubt, factory reset asap... it's the only way to be sure. Shotgun get it done.
Phone is brand new, my Pie one is dead.
This new Note came with 11 on it.
I do not know if it was from Samsung like this or if the seller upgraded it hoping to help sell his stock, make it seem more appealling?
Anyway I'm doing a factory reset on the weekend and see what happens.
Thanks for all your help.
I'll let you know how it goes.

The 10+ all were loaded with Pie for the whole product run as far as I know.
Keep an eye on it... see is the reset gets it.
So it turns out its my firewall. In Pie if I allowed an app internet access in the firewall everything was all good.
For some reason (I have emailed the Dev) in Android 11 allowing an app internet access is not working correctly, internet via WiFI works but cellular data does not, even though it should, data is available for use and app has permission to use it. The firewall is still blocking somehow. Turning the firewall off immediately restores internet via cell data.
I would presume the firewall app only needs an update for Android 11 or I may have to get a new firewall if that does not happen.
Cheers for all the help everyone.
Hi again, more about this issue.
It seems my problem is caused by Google with Android 11. It appears they changed something to mess up firewalls because they stop their ads getting through (1 of the reasons why I use one).
I have started using a new firewall - Netguard, so far it seems to be doing what it should be doing and I have cell data back for allowed programs and its blocking disallowed apps correctly.
Hope this helps somebody along the way.
