Back on my original firestick I could use it without having a network connection. I used this for presentations in remote locations. Much easier than carrying and setting up a PC.
That firestick got damaged in a fire and I replaced it with a firetv stick 4k model. Even if I hold the home button>apps and start up Kodi, it will kick me back to the firetv launcher with these home not available/network connection lost messages. Also performance seems to be really bad without a network connection as when showing some videos it would stutter without internet vs playing just fine when connecting to wifi that has internet.
My question is can I somehow bypass or disable that requirement to be connected to the network and also the internet, either through disabling some app or changing a setting through ADB?
I see now that the 4k can be unlocked/rooted/etc I would have no problem doing that if required to get back to being able to do my presentations with my firestick.
Thanks in advance!
I was hoping to use a 4K Firestick to play movies and TV shows off a USB stick (via an OTG cable) while travelling. Your question also applies to me as I won't have internet everywhere and shouldn't need it for local playback.
That would be awesome if I could use a USB memory stick as well. Would make it that much more versatile.
I can often tether to my cell phone, and that works. But sometimes I don't have cell phone service nor local wifi networks where I am.
If I could just get past these error messages.

Hello everyone! I recently upgraded my house internet connection to fiber optics (100/10) and i'm so happy with my internet speed! But I think my router is causing problems.
It's a Comtrend router. Here is a picture of it.

I'm not sure it's a very good router, but regardless, it's giving me problems on my phones and tablets. I noticed that messages didn't come in right away. And sometimes if I wake up my device and try to use the app store or gmail it'll say that it couldn't contact the server. I have to hit retry a couple of times before it works again. For the app store no problem. But for incoming messages via Line or Whatsapp, or emails via Gmail, it really gets on my nerves. But after I get it working again it doesn't give me a single problem until it sleeps again or I drop the connection with the router. I don't know...
The configuration is pretty straight forward. It WAS on just WPA and now it's on WPA2-PSK with AES. Both are giving me the same problem still.
Do you guys know anything that could help?
U should give it a try without encryption and see if it's causing the problem. And also u can turn off the router's firewall and ckeck how it goes.
From the middle of nowhere to the center of everywhere!!
As mentioned, try without encryption, but also disable wmm, qos, maybe reserve an ip etc. If it's fine then, enable the services one by one by process of elimination.

Like many, we like to access portable USB HD drive storage while on the GO. On this forum had done my research, apparently we need CM mod to access the storage. I was not so much interested in accessing the portable but able to transfer photos taken from my camera and store in a portable storage HD while traveling.
I had success without rooting N7 and using OTG cable to connect my Canon S100 camera directly. (N7 is rooted now with OTG Helper installed)
One device I found locally was a portable Cloud Wifi, able to perform as a router, access point repeater and battery charger. With this device I was able to create my own private network (without external 3G or Wifi) just the Cloud Wifi and N7.
All I need to do is connect portable storage to Cloud Wifi device, since it has it own internal battery it is able to power the USB HD storage. From N7 select the Cloud Wifi SSID and I am connected. Now I am able to transfer photo using OTG cable to my camera and wireless transfer file to portable HD storage.
One of the best setup with Cloud Wifi, my partner or others can connect Wifi to the portable USB storage and view media files from it.
If you like to know more this is my BLOG POST link (just started this blog for personal reference)

Here's the issue I have a HTC Desire 526. It's prepaid through Verizon Wireless I'm having severe Wi-Fi issues. In order for me to connect to my router I have to place my phone within an inch then use WPS to connect. Once I'm connected I cannot walk more than two feet before it disconnects. Once it disconnects it says either disabled or null under the SSID. While I'm connected I cannot use apps that that use high bandwidth like Twitch. While I'm connected to the internet I hold 5 bars never more, never less. I have attempted to clean the Wi-Fi antenna if I correctly located what appeared to be the Wi-Fi antennaa according to pictures on Google Images. As well as the GPS antenna I also unplugged and plugged all of the what appears to be brass or gold plated terminal thing wires back in. I have 3G and what appears to be three signal bars but it usually takes 2 to 3 minutes after the phone starts to turn on. I've never had any issues like this with any other device or router or Internet or anything. I may have while unscrewing the void screw possibly cracked the board somewhere that's what I'm thinking. I also broke whatever the microphone looking thing was attached to the screw, does anybody know what that is?
Also the Wi-Fi turns on and off normally it also scans other ssids which I know are fairly far away in The Neighbourhood so I don't think it's a Wi-Fi antenna issue.
I did not put any screws back in because they were making weird ringing noises.

Do you know if a device like this will work with this smartphone? I want to surf internet at home via lan cable.

I have a cheap apple-compatible USB Ethernet. It uses the asix driver.
After turning off mobile data and wifi, I plugged the dongle in and a new icon appeared on my title bar, and DHCP ran and I could get to the internet over the LAN. I didn't see a way to configure it in the UI, but manual commands from the CLI work (ifconfig and friends).
I'm running Stock Pie 10.0.18.0.
I tried a second USB Ethernet I have. It's an ancient Pegasus II and it didn't show up at all.
Looking at /proc/config.gz, I see these USB things enabled:
CONFIG_USB_NET_DRIVERS=y
CONFIG_USB_USBNET=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_AX8817X=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_AX88179_178A=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_NCM=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_NET1080=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET=y
CONFIG_USB_BELKIN=y
CONFIG_USB_ARMLINUX=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_ZAURUS=y
I guess that means only a select number of devices will work out of the box. Those AX ones are ASIX, which is probably what allows my adapter to work.
I just noticed there is Ethernet usage next to mobile data and WiFi usage now...
This kernel have drivers for few USB-Ethernet adapters!
Okey, the problem is divided in two parts.
The first one, today I notice that the Tv lost network connection over WIFI, when I enter to the networking setting I notice that there where no networks to select at all and that the only option it gives was to restart, and so I did, after the restart it was the same, no network, and when I enter the network setting no WIFI to select, I power of the TV, waited a bit and turned on. Same thing happend. So I decided to factory reset. After the factory reset, the tv restarted and language screen appears I selected with my control and then a screen saying searching for your remote appears and I'm stuck there!.

I already tried restarting the fire tv remote presing left cirble butten + back button and hamburger button, then change the batteries for new ones and after the new batteries where in tried the home button, but still cant pass that screen. I also tried a ethernet cable to the tv and the fire tv app on my phone. (the phone recognize the tv) but it didn't pass that screen also.
If anyone has this issue or have any Idea what to do I would really apreciate it.
Try response 2 or 3 to another user with the same problem:

Also try holding the home button on the remote for 10sec to put remote in pairing mode
