I can not get mouse toggle to work after upgrading my fire tv 2 box to 5.2.7.0_r1. Does anyone have it working? I even went to the app store and downloaded the latest one (remote for fire tv ) still no go. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Try disabling adb debugging from your developer options, and then re-enable it again, that worked for me on the same rom, I think theres something that's messing with the service, the app itself recommend you that if the state of the service is stuck on "starting" try that workaround, I think that would do the job.

Thank you but, I did try that. It starts fine (says started in bottom corner) but, won't bring up the cursor when double clicking the pause/play button.
I had the same issue but after rebooting the firetv it worked fine.

No luck, tried that a few times. Thanks though.
there is a fix i found
it seems these guys have the latest APK file for the mouse toggle. it worked great on my fire tv. they also have a couple of troubleshooting guidelines.
I have a Fire TV 4k Is there a mouse toggle that works for it?
I have tried disabled/enabling ADB and the app always gets stuck on starting, reboot does nothing
I have hooked up a real mouse for **** sakes and the damn FireTV does not seem to support a mouse fully as I don't get a cursor on any app and you don't know where you are clicking. It really sucks as many sideloaded apps won't work fine without touch screen or a mouse cursor

Try this sequence from shell when mouse toggle is stuck on "starting" or the pointer is stuck:
/data/local/tmp/.mousetoggle/nmouseg stop
/data/local/tmp/.mousetoggle/nmouseg start >/dev/null &

I have tried two different USB keyboards (Cherry evolution stream XT, Cherry G80-3000) but none of them seems to work.
Both keyboards are working when connected to a pc. The OUYA usb port recognizes my mouse. So I guess it has to be a software problem.
Anybody else encoutering similar problems or having an idea to solve this issue?
I didn't find a single thread where a corded USB keyboard didn't work. I have no other keyboard to test .

Even with the keyboard attached? Do you connect the keyboard before booting up?

I have had problems in this area as well. For me pulling the power, plugging in the keyboard, and then putting the power back seems to work a lot of the time. Sometimes it is just a matter of doing it a bunch of time until the keyboard is finally recognized. To me, this issue speaks to the build quality and software quality of the Ouya in general. Stuff like this makes the Ouya pain in the a** for the masses.

What about using the power button to initiate a real shut down before attaching the keyboard.
It seems the OUYA is not built using parts from a single manufacturer and that has a lot to do with inconsistent performance.

I tried everything mentioned in this thread at least a few times with the two different keyboards with no effect.
I pulled the cord, plugged both keyboards in and turned it on. Powered it off with the hardware button and pluged the keyboard in. Searched the options for any signs of a keyboard that is connected but just not activated.
I also tried different builts (there was an auto update). None seems to work.
This box is a pain in the a%&. I seem to have a very *****y ouya. XBMC is not working quite well too.

No. I tried using a hub as a fix but it didn't help.
I'm absolutely clueless.
I guess installing a custom rom or a bootloader is no option without a working keyboard. The OUYA seems to be a complete waste of time and money so far. Only crap games, worst "store"/rom ever, loud fan, controller with input lag and XBMC not working properly. Unfortunately people seem to have recognized how bad this thing is, where I live the resell value is free falling.

I am at a loss as well. I'm not sure how attached you are to your current install on the OUYA but you could try to sideload the latest OTA. I am pretty sure you can do all that without a USB keyboard attached via ADB. You could also fastboot CWM and see if it is recognized then. Just a couple shot in the dark idea but as if a mouse works, the USB port must be working.
I borrowed a logitech keyboard from a friend and it's working like a charm.
The problem seems to be "cherry only".
That sucks. Now I have to buy a new keyboard for this crapcube since my friend needs his keyboard.
Thanks for the advices to everyone.
So I installed netflix and was watching something..my video pauses after a while but audio keeps playing. Anyone else having this issue? I tried wifi and spark. Same results with diffrent videos.
Found the problem. Had a ad blocker installed. Apparently it was messing with both hulu and netflix apps. I froze it and they both worked fine.
Was it ad block plus?

I found this temporary fix in a tmobile forum. I will report back on my personal findings.
"I actually found the temporary fix for this was to wipe the cache partition. Netflix then worked correctly for a few days, and it started freezing again, although it went longer into a video (10 or 11 minutes instead of 3 or 4) before it froze. I wiped the cache partition again and no freezing. I'm assuming I will have to do this every so often but it's better than nothing.
Wiping the cache does not affect your personal data. These are the steps:
Turn the device off.
Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time:
Volume Up key
Home key
Power key.
When the phone vibrates, release the Power and Home key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key.
Continue holding the Volume Up key until the Android System Recovery menu displays and then release. This step may take several seconds.
Press the Volume Down key to highlight 'wipe cache partition.'
Press the Power key to select.
When the wipe cache partition is complete, 'Reboot system now' is highlighted.
Press the Power key to restart the device."
Hi,
I wondered if anyone could help me, Im trying to disable the 30 min sleep on my Fire TV stick as I need it to remain on a webpage 24hrs as a communication tool. I tried used the dolphin browser with the auto refresh but it crashes and I cant root the stick. I tried a stay awake app too which didn't work either, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Have you tried Tasker? That maybe able to do this for you? If it's not possible it maybe because you need root to stop the timeout? & root isn't possible via the fire stick

There is a trial version in the play store but if you have a rooted phone,tablet or what ever just buy it, it was one of the first apps I bought & have used it for years & is so useful, a little hard to use at first but well worth learning how to use it.

You are right i posted a bit quick. But i have found that it will not sleep with certain apps for instance i played a hour long you tube mix of music and it never went to sleep but when i play a normal music app its sleeps.
Have any of you guys been able to find a fix? i couldn't even use tasker as it wanted me to hit the + button but due to the limited functionality of the remote control which accompanies the fire stick, i cant even get down to it. is there anyway to prevent the fire tv stick from sleeping ? as i need it to display a website, constantly

No, one version back, I think. Mine is at 5.0.5 (537174420), pre-rooted RBox.
have the same issue here... have you find a solution?
Any updates on this (2018) ?
I'd like to share my work-around as of 2018. I install "Stay Alive" app on my fire stick and open it. After you open it, it will keep the screen awake. Keep in mind that it's a third party app, so you have to sideload it, it should be quite easy to google for a tutorial on how to sideload apps onto fire tv stick.
There are many other apps in the play store that claim to keep the screen alive, but in most of them it takes quite some navigation to set them up and navigation within third-party apps can be tricky using fire tv remote or app. Fortunately, Stay Alive has the right settings (keeping the screen alive forever) enabled by default, so just opening it does the job!
Simple TV Display (No Sleep Webpage TV) - an app that helps solves the the original post. Lets you put in a webpage, set how often you want to refresh, and then shows the webpage while keeping it the screen awake
Use a program called Stay Alive! It will appear not to work and complain about google play services not being installed, but my launcher is always open after I turn my tv on in the morning now, with CEC enabled too.
