Request: NetFlix apk for FireTV released before August 10th 2015

Netflix pushed a build on 10th Aug, 2015 and whatever they did, it's messed up VPN via Smart DNS servers on the FireTV via CactusVPN, the version before that did not have this problem. I've googled everywhere, can't seem to find the build released before it anywhere. Anybody got the apk anywhere? Want to try with the old build before switching to another vpn provider. Cactus insist the issue is not on their end, despite the fact that if I switch to another provider unblock.us for example, it works instantly.

What makes you think there is an update apk? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OGRMULA/ shows October 15, 2014 and my FireTV is showing the same unupdated version loaded on it.

I assumed it was updated based on the UI Build value: release-20150810_54-sapphire (I interpreted this to mean the date it was pushed was 2015-08-10 / August 10th), see attached screenshot. Or is that value meaningless? I've no idea here, just a shot in the dark.

That might be some HTML UI coming from the server... but the apk hasn't been updated.

Hmmm. Guess I was wrong, assumed it was some kind of silent patch that updated the file. Well, something's changed, all of us that use Netflix on the AFTVs have been experiencing issues galore since around Aug 11th. Most of the time video's will load and get stuck at 25%, once in a while it'll struggle then eventually play. Strangely enough, it works fine on the Fire Stick just not the FTV. Switching dns servers fixes it instantly, so I thought somehow the unblock.us guys had figured out whatever Netflix had done and updated their servers, as I had assumed it was a patched apk. Tried it all, Clear Cache, Clear Data, Clear Cache for Amazon Instant Video, Changing timezones, De-activate Device button combination etc, nothing has worked so far.
I"m stumped, might be forced to change vpn providers, CactusVPN insist there is no issue on their end, despite the fact that 4 of us with FTVs are all having this issue, and switching dns providers fixes it instantly.

Got the "stuck at 25%" problem 2 and netflix keeps on caching all the time 2 since a couple of days.

Using which dns provider? CactusVpn?

To clear the 25 percent issue. Go to Settings, the Apps then Manage Apps, go down to Amazon Video (Might be Instant Video depending on your version) it has a green amazon icon. Well go into that and click Clear Data various times. I recommend to Clear Data then wait like a minute then again. Once the app shows 0mb for data unplug the Fire TV, don't restart it, unplug it for like 20 secs and replug, then go to Netflix and that 25 percent error will clear. It will eventually come back though every 2 months.

only difference so far i have seen that now google play store and services working fine now on new 4.6.5. which wasnt on 4.6.4

Installed GP after 465, seems to work fine. Owner for 3 days, still learn my way around.

I spoke with some developers at Amazon and was informed that this update fixes issues with texts not being received and something else but forgot. No new features.

I just installed GP after updating to 4.6.5. Everything seems to be working

Thanks for letting us know what's new in this update!
I am the owner of 2 Fire Phones (Unlocked), that currently have FireOS 4.6.3 (463001620)...
But, I have noticed that although amazon has released yesterday this Newer version 4.6.5, I can not find it to manually download, and install on my Fire Phones:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201607550*
Does anyone knows and have the download link where I can get this latest 4 6.5 update ?

That's how every update gets rolled out. First wave OTA, if nothing happens in the first ~ 48h and everybody is happy, they will publish the official download link soon after that.
A thoughtful person could have uploaded the file before installing the update, but it's not that urgent.

Does it mess with root?

I tried to update manually to 4.6.5 but I got a msg "Your system is up to date!"
What should I do to get the update?

That's what I was saying before...
That although amazon has released this Newer version several days ago, if I try to update to 4.6.5, I always get the same message:
"Your system is up to date!"*
And unfortunately I can not find where manually download this 4.6.5 file, because at the Amazon help site the only version available is still 4.6.3 !
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...eId=201607550
Does anyone have the download link where I can get this latest 4.6.5 update file ?

I'm stuck at 4.6.3 LOL.
Only new apps update from Amazon.

Anyone got the new update yet ? will it effect Google Store ?

This is the question of 2015

Unfortunately, every time I and other users of Fire Phones, we've asked to Amazon Customer Service, simply say they do not know anything about it !!
So, Amazon does not deny, but neither confirms, if there will be or not FireOS-5 for the Fire Phone...
However, since amazon has already released the FireOS-5 to their FireTV Today and also to their Newest Fire Tablets, I think and also hope that they are also going to release it to all their Fire Phones Soon !

To tell you the truth , I am pretty happy with the current OS and I would think of few things to be fixed in it
1. Quick action screen needs to have more options (Auto-rotate on/off is a must) instead of going to settings to do every time.
2. I am ok with carousel, but it would be nice to have the option to turn it on and off and to actually control my home screen a bit more.
3. Contacts, Dialer and SMS apps needs to be updated to something better as they are from the stone age.
4. Mail app should have (select all) option
5. Lock screen to have pattern option !
6. Having the ability assign a song as a ringtone
7. Built in play to (Chromecast or Apple TV) would be a plus specially for the Prime video apps
8. Give us Android underground !
9. Enhance the cloud apps ( look at Apple photos for inspiration) , the Apple photo app is almost flawless and the sync between devices is out standing.
10. Give me the ability to sync my itunes music library and playlists to my Fire Phone
I sincerely love my Fire phone (even a bit more) than what I loved my iPhone 5s, I will do my best to hang in there for 1 year and if we don't get things done then ill put it in the outdated gadgets drawer and get an iPhone 7 when its out.

I think there may be a v5 and maybe sooner than we think as two games I have called xenowerk and space marshals have updates which say fire os 5 compatibility. Make of that what you will.

Kevo stopped working, but there is a workaround

Mates,
I don't know if the Kevo/Kwikset app folks are dumb, lazy or if there is some fee they have to pay to support new phones, but hear my tale of woe, with a happy ending (a minstrel on a mandolin is playing in the background as you read this).
I put Kevo locks everywhere when they first came out with android support. When they work, it is one less key I have to carry, one more thing my everpresent phone can do. They were announced as partners for the Gear S2 which, as we all know, is bull. The tech writers who said it worked were clearly Samsung lapdogs.
The Kevo website says that the app won't work on the Galaxy S7 edge but it did. Right from the start, right out of the gate. Then T-Mobile rolled out a patch last week and it stopped. Nothing. Bupkus. Google Play says the app is not supported by my device.
A little bit of searching led to the actual newest Kevo apk. I downloaded it, deleted the old app, installed it and voila! Back in business. The new version supports remote open and close, which I haven't checked yet- I bought an upgraded lock but it isn't installed.
So, there you have it. I have no idea why Kevo/Kwikset/Unikey didn't test with the newest phones, why they don't know it works or whatever. Their developers are much more interested in supporting iOS and the sheeple that use it, but it will work for us too!

where did you find the latest? i looked for almost 2 hours and the best i could come up with was the 0.99 beta in the google groups. had to sideload an app that lets you change your device to trick Play into letting you install it.

Googled Android kevo apk, found version 1.2.57.2p everywhere. I presumed that was the latest since it has the remote buttons on it.

yeah i saw those results as well, but none of the apk downloaders worked for me. several even said their 'device' was incompatible, which was the same problem i was having.

I'm in the same boat. I have an S7 Edge and while kevo still works with just the proximity and tap lock to open...I've never been able to get the tap to unlock/lock work. Even on my moto360 (gen1) kevo force closes non stop. Another problem I had was my old S5 was on Lollipop and it worked, but then Tmo rolled out the update to MM and now it doesn't even see the lock. I've had multiple emails to Kevo and the only thing I get is that "We're sorry, we have no plans to support MM".
If you got anything to help out with Kevo working on Marshmallow, then I'd appreciate it as well!

I might be a little late on the the subject but I had the Kevo app since the beginning from my Note 4 on KK all the way up to My Note 5 on MM. I rarely use my Moto 360 (1) to open the door but this time I did and the watch went haywire and kept showing a notification indicating that the app is no longer working. So I decided to uninstall the Kevo app and then proceeded to sync the watch and phone, stopping the annoying notification. When I went to the app store to reinstall I found the "phone not compatible"..
Well, decided to sideload to have the Kevo app to look and work the same way I had it before.. after several attempts I figured it out. 1st sideload the Kevo 0.9.58p apk, sign in, then sideload the updated version 1.2.57.2p and it will finally look and feel like the updated one on Lollipop. Sefar is right, why the devs were so lazy in checking for compatibility is beyond me but it works.!!

Xfinity Mobile SGS9 got stuck on Android 10 OTA :(

A few days ago Xfinity Mobile (or Samsung? I'm unsure) started pushing OTA update G965USQU7DTA5 (One UI 2 upgrade with Android 10).
I successfully updated mine SGS-9 but got stuck on wife's SGS-9 Probably, first attempt of download on this phone was interrupted (my wife went to store, and download was paused 'cause of no WiFi). But after that it's always stopped on 25% and saying "Couldn't download update: Unable to update the software. A network or server error occurred. Try later again". It's a bug in buggy Samsung software updater, I'm 100% positive, but how to fix that stuff without resetting the phone?
Phone is NOT rooted or unlocked; I googled for "offline update" instructions for stock, locked phones but can't find good, clear instructions.
Any suggestions, guys?
P.S. I've never done phone reset on SGS-9, how it works? Is it quick and safe enough? My wife's phone don't have sideloaded and/or pirated apps, everything by original, Google- & Samsung way.

Update: I resolved my issue by updating phone from PC, using Samsung's "Smart Switch" application - everything went smooth and easy.
P.S. Big thanks to this guide: https://thedroidguy.com/how-to-fix-...not-update-to-latest-software-version-1097987

Update 2: My question received no answers, even no attention but I still believe in people (generally)
So, after update to Android 10 on SGS9, my wife found what the new camera app is kinda downgrade: she doesn't likes new video mode full screen chooser (instead of "scroller") and some other small things. By the way, I clearly understood her: for example, on her SGS9 (updated via PC) video has, by default, bigger zoom than mine SGS9! It's kinda ridiculous but I understand, some parts of the software was written by Korean guys
My question is: could you provide some tips how to install stock camera app from the previous firmware (Android 9), without flashing back old firmware (I suspect what Sam-damn-sung and X****&nity will not support Android 9 anymore)?
Thank you!
P.S. I know how the google search works; I know even more - how xda-dev search works too but I can't find exact answer to my question, sorry!

I think it's more no one has xfinity. I was one of the few and first to have xfinity when I got my s8. xfinity is a weird setup compared to most phones. I had to ditch em when they charged me like 3 or 4 times in one month, it took me almost 4 months to get a refund.
With root you might be able to get the old camera working possibly. Or gcam I'm no developer so I wouldnt know the exacts. And I still run my xfinity s8 ???

Question Latest build number?

Hi guys - just setting my 6 Pro up however I'm not convinced it's on the latest build - it's not showing any updates however I don't have the magic eraser in photos and the build number is showing in the quick settings area which seems rather strange (unless it's meant to). It's showing build sd1a.210817.015.a4.

Looks not far off from some of the Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices that have come out for the earlier Pixels.
12.0.0 (SP1A.210812.015, Oct 2021)

I don't have my 6 Pro yet, though - so hopefully, others will chime in.

Im SD1A.210817.015.A4 (from google store UK)

Magic eraser was (I think) a google photos update. Once i had all the google play store updates eraser appeared under edit and then the tools option

someone had build.prop from pixel 6 / Pro ?

Just had an update to SD1A.210817.036

Mine just updated to SD1A.210817.036 and the security updates show as 05/11/21! (UK Google store purchase)

Also updated to SD1A.210817.036 (UK) with SP dated 05/11.

It looks like everyone that's chimed in that they've had an update is from the UK.

No update here yet and I'm with the UK one and still on the original with October security updates.
I'm hoping it fixes the deep sleep issue I've already discovered after the first night! Every time I get a new Google phone I go through the same process of trying to debug battery drain. Not loaded anything on it yet, but it drains battery when in standby, and checking using the app CPU spy, my old Pixel XL 2 gets > 90% deep sleep overnight and pretty much flat lines, first night with Pixel 6 it had drained quite a lot (10%) doing absolutely nothing and that shows 8% in deep sleep was all it managed, with most of the time the CPU is at 300Mhz doing something, so some sort of wake lock. Got the camera app saying its been on for 14 hours as well so might be related. I've restarted and still very much the same.

No update here yet.. UK bought from Google store.

Another UK P6 Pro owner here, received yesterday 26th Oct.
Running SD1A.210817.015.A4 out of the box,, bought from Google direct.
Last night I noticed a notification for a security update (73.46MB) but for some reason it wouldn't install.
This morning it seems to have installed just fine - took a LONG time 'optimising apps' after, but its' done now.
Device is now running build SD1A.210817.036.
I did see some weird behaviours yesterday with the camera running in the background all the time and some other odd stutters, but hopefully a lot of this will iron out as the phone/adaptive battery learns about my usage patterns.
