Hi,
I want to control my phone remotely.
I have installed the teamviewer quicksupport on my phone, and login teamviewer from my pc. but I can't find the menu 'remote control', just has 'file transfer'. I saw a piece of demo video, It both has 2 menus for 'remote control', 'file transfer',
Where can I find the menu 'remote control' on teamviewer?
I attached the demo picture.
thanks

Posting in the Apps section, hoping this will get some visibility.
I am anxious to find a version of Spotify that will work. I tried the standard version from the the Play store and also the tablet version for the Kindle Fire, but both launch to wrong orientation (sideways) and the remote doesn't work to move around the menu buttons.
Opening this thread up for continued development discussion on this.
There's some apps that fix the orientation problem, and you can try a mouse to navigate if the remote doesn't, i'm not a the house right now so I cant try it, i will try it later.
Fixed the orientation issue. It takes decompiling the APK (used apktool for that) then removing any android:screenOrientation="portrait" attributes from the AndroidManifest.xml file. For good measure, I also commented out any calls to setOrientation(I)V in the smali files (not sure that's required for the Spofity app, but found I needed to do disable setRequestedOrientation(I)V in other apps for the FireTV)
Unfortunately, apktool doesn't want to recompile the Spotify resources cleanly for the builds I was using, but read through the errors it throws and just clean up the offending lines. I used an attached keyboard/mouse to login, but now I just use the Amazon remote to click through things on my playlists (on some of the screens, it helps to push the the left before scrolling up or down). If you hit the search box, the on screen keyboard shows up... so while it's not ideal, you can get by with the standard remote.
I've posted a build if you want to try it out:
ht tp://d-h.st/Lel
you can try an app like this for the orientation

Spotify is now listed as "coming later this year" on the Fire TV product page.
Spotify working in AFTV?

I sideloaded it and it does play music, but the AFTV remote only manages to play and pause. I cannot scroll up or down or move in any direction, that I have to do with a USB keyboard.
Did you get the AFTV remote to work properly with spotify?

Works fine for me, can scroll through playlist although you can't open the sidebar. I don't mind much as I only need to open it on my AFTV and then I use spotify connect to play stuff on it from my Tablet/Phone.
can't use the remote

Hi,
I have a Fire TV stick and everything works great so far. However, I sideloaded an app, it launches ok and looks functioning, except I have no way of controlling it. I need to be able to move the (invisible) pointer to make some selections. I tried the Fire TV remote app on my N5, it seems to be able to send commands, but without a visible pointer, I can't make the right selection. Is there anyway to make the pointer visible on screen? Or anything I could solve this problem?
Thank you!
OK, after a bit researching, found a working solution with WuKong remote app. The little monkey does work!

I installed WuKong TV Remote Control from Play Store on my phone. And then, you need to sideload the WuKong helper app on the Fire TV (I hope you know how to sideload). The WuKong helper app is this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wukongtv.wkhelper I just installed it on my phone also, and then use ES Explorer to back it up as an apk file. Copy that to the PC where you can sideload to the Fire TV. I later deleted the helper app from my phone (don't need it there).
Once that's done, you open up the remote app on the phone and the FireTV will show up, choose that to connect to it. And then use "Mouse" mode on the remote app.
I hope that's clear enough?

Hi,
I purchased a Philips 50PUS7303/12 a few days ago and although very happy with the screen quality I was very disappointed to find that the TV doesn't have the full Play Store or the ability to sideload apps and this was the main reason for going for this Android TV as it just fitted within my budget. Can anyone offer a way to get around this limitation (Philips are shooting themselves in the foot by making it this restrictive). I wanted to install ITV Hub, All 4 and My5, along with TV Catchup as freeview is bad in my area.
Another issue I have still related to the TV, is how to get proper 'Freesat' with EPG. Most of the channels have no name and they are in no proper order. Is there any way to address this.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.
Regards,
Robert.
I also plan on purchasing this TV (i.e the 65") and was interested in installing apks. From what I've read on reviews on Amazon UK, you should be able to do this by enabling "unknown sources" from the Google security settings, put any .apk files that you have on a USB and use a file explorer (e.g ES File explorer) to find the USB directory and install the .apk files from there. Should be a piece of cake.
Let me know it this works as this is one of the main reasons why I am interested in buying this smart TV.
Hi jpapadami,
I tried doing that and was able to install ITV Hub, All 4 and My5, but of these apps would show on screen. Going to setting and apps I was able to see each application but was unable to open any of them. ES file explorer installed OK and I was also able to install Modbro.
Regards,
Robert.
Hi, oldish thread but I just got the same TV on a black Friday deal. However its not worth keeping the tv if I cant get itvhub and other UK catch-up apps to work.
I can side load the apps made for non TV devices, but i really want the TV versions as they work better with the remote.
Closest I can find is an xda thread from 2016 where someone pulled the apps from a fire TV device then removed the Amazon requirements from them so they would work on any Android TV device, unfortunately those apks don't work anymore. But I think that looks like the best way?
I've also had a poke around on my Sony android TV, which has all the catch-up apps linked to youview, but I can't find any apks to pull and even if I could i suspect they will be locked to Sony
You can always use aptiode for the apps and use tv app repo to link them / create shortcuts on the main menu.

You need to side load aptoide. Search Google and look for the app called TV APP Repo. It wi create the shortcuts on the leenback launcher.

Hi...
the Thread is a bit older but thats not important. To install any other Apps that are not to find in Android-Tv Play-Store is that simple as to dig in your nose xD
first go to Play-Store and install a file explorer like x-plore to your Tv.
Now you can download any App---apk with you Computer and put it on a USB-Stick or USB-HDD/SSD. Transfer the portable device with your own Hands from PC to Tv Connect the portable Device to USB on the Tv and open the file-explorer. OpenRoot of the portable Device where the apk from the App is in. Choose the apk file and install it to Tv. If you now have a custom Launcher on Tv like sideload-Launcher or ATV-Launcher. Lte your installed Apps shown in this Launcher cause in the stock-Launcher not all Apps would be listet and showing.
Thats all...that easy right.

Is there a thread for it?
I use downloader to try and get an apk, but to install, I get a phone screen style popup and option to install or cancel at bottom right, but it acts like a touch screen mouse doesn't move around on screen.

The last time I did this with a Fire TV, I had to install an app called downloader. It’s in the store. Maybe try that?
My only other suggestion is if they have a remote with a keyboard or a touchpad, that might help you out.
You can also try using the firetv app from a smartphone or tablet.
Simple
Devices & Software -> Install unknown apps - allow
Download X-plore or ES and click permission "allow" to write in storage
Ideal is to have local NAS where you can store all fav apps, but both file managers will give you wifi file transfer in case you want to use your PC.
I guess thats it
Enjoy
Hello!
I am a newly owner of TCL C715 with Android TV and searching for answers to two problems:
I am using Kodi and it works most of the time very well with the remote control. Sometimes i need a special button: it is the 'mouse: right click' (or c on the keyboard) which opens the contex menu in Kodi.
I have found Button Mapper: Remap your keys and it is possible to install and use it - but 'mouse: right click' is not there and only a few buttons from the remote control are detected.
Are there another possibilities that works well with C715? Any experiences out there?
Also with Aptoide TV i was able to install Zoom. Until now i don't use it but it looks like, that it is working. C715 has a microphone but missing a camera. Which cameras (maybe with microphone) working with Android TV or Smart TV, expecially C715? Any hints, experiences?
Thanks!
I don't know for camera. But for kodi contex menu, try to hold ok button, it will bring contex menu.
At least on my TCL OnionTV, that work.
