Hi All,
I have receive for Christmas a SW3.
I already have a LG G2 (D802) running Lollipop :

With Render Kernel :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/kernel-render-kernel-aosp-lg-roms-t2803929
I have update the SW3 to official 5.0.1 with PC Companion.
Then install Android Wear from the market on the phone :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.wearable.app&hl=fr
I had "Sleep as Android" app already installed on the phone before get the watch.
I have connect the watch to the phone then I have try to install different apps as :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.npi.wearminilauncher
and
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appfour.wearbrowser
Without problem, the apps appear on the watch., "Sleep as Android" too.
But now, I can't success to install any other apps. I have try :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rocketstartups.wearcalculator
Or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.hoomi.athere
But the apps doesn't appear on the watch, I don't understand how to sync the phone and the watch.
I guess I'm too new and there is something that I haven't understand.
Please someone drive me !
Thank you in advance.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
Android Wear is the only "must have" app to manage the watch ?
No need Smart Connect or LiveWear ?...
Open android wear on phone click on the settings gear and click on resync apps
Hello,
Thank you but That doesn't help...
What app do you use to sync the watch?

Android wear is a "must-have" app. And you need also "Google" search app to make sure android wear runs well. (for "ok google" function certainly.)
Did you try to "forget watch device" in android wear and repair it ?
Maybe a factory reset will help, but it is the last option.
Thank you for your reply.
I have disable the location to save battery and the sync have work...
I don't understand!
But now, all work as it should.
Hi,
I'm an expert on SmartWatch 3 and have met with a programmer from the Google team. You require 2 things to fully install apps on your watch, which take max 60 minutes to sync to your watch 100%
1. The first requirement to make sure apps install 100% is a WiFi router network which your phone is connected to, and your SmartWatch 3 is within range of the
area of the router.
2. Your Smartwatch 3 and your Android phone on charge during about 1 hour. The apps sync fast while the battery is being charged, and sync slower if not plugged in.
Do these two things, and the apps will install over WiFi directly from your phone to the watch through WiFi settings of the router.
I just lived in Philippines for 1 month, bought a new Sony phone there and tried installing my Smartwatch 3 over mobil data connection to the phone without a router and not a single app synced. 1 week later ONE app synced. I came home to my country of Sweden with my router and did the same thing with a reset of the watch, and all apps synced in about 45 minutes.
there are fresh batteries in the remote and on several occasions bluetooth remote would stop working. I would open up case and remove and reconnect same battery and it would start working again. I had updates blocked and did a quick update to 5.04 from 5.0.3.1 then rooted and blocked updates via router and blocked updates on aftv natively. wondering if this did not allow a remote control update to take place with the new firmware.
What is the latest firmware number for this remote because mine says 185? (for aftv2ndgen, not aftvfirstgen and not stick).
thanks

hello
i have just bought my 1st amazon fire tv device,a fire stick manufacture date march 16 2016
and i am trying to follow a (probably outdated) guide from 2014 from AFTVnews
for avoiding update during initial setup
also i am using open DNS ,outside blocking
but the guide does not work
i see that this guide keeps on being suggested for people to use recently but has anyone ever confirmed if this guide is even still working on new fire tv sticks?
because i can not get to the registration screen no matter what i do
i have followed the guide to the letter about 100 times now, all it does is hang on the checking for updates screen and then it goes back to the error message screen every single time
it hangs at checking for updates for a really long time, like an hour
then it goes to the error screen , then i press the back button like the guide says and i re configure the wifi settings like the guide says and then hit connect ,then when it says connection successful i pull the ethernet cable out of the back of my router,the one going to my modem , before it gets to checking for updates
then it says checking for updates and hangs there for like an hour , then it just goes back to the error screen and i press the back button and start the process all over again
is there is any way out of this loop?
i think that this guide is just outdated and that this method has not been tested recently for the fire tv stick specifically
because i follow it exactly and get the same result every time
anyone know what i am doing wrong, if anything or if this guide even still works anymore and on current devices?
can anyone with a brand new stick(not fire tv 1 or 2) confirm that this still works or not?
because i have not been able to find a single account of anyone doing this and getting it to work
i have just wasted and entire weekend on this BS
regretting my purchase and wishing i just bought an android box,
i really wanted to get into this scene but these extremely poorly written and outdated guides have got me so frustrated and discouraged that i am just about to say F it and return this thing to the store and go buy an android box instead
it's just not worth the aggravation and waste of time
this device is a Fing piece of $hit, how can anyone deal with this $hit?
it paired with the remote instantly on 1st use, but after i unplugged it it will not pair, the 1st time i turned it on after unplugging it
it took 15 minutes to pair with the remote, the second time, the 3rd time unplugged it it paired in like 5 minutes, the 4th time i unplugged it and now when i turn it on it will not pair with the remote at all after an hour, i took out the batteries, put in new ones, i put the remote right up to the stick , i press the home button briefly, i hold it down have i tried everything and this damn thing will not pair at all now i just opened it 2 days ago ,says made in mid march 2016
F this device and F this scene i am out , returning this steaming pile of dog $hit and going to order a android box what god damn piece of $hit this thing is , how do you people deal with this $hit, every Fing time you turn it off the remote will not pair again
these devices are pure garbage
this is the worst product i have ever bought
Have you tried using the steps in the Can't Pair a Remote or Game Controller guide? I am waiting on the @rbox release of Fire OS 5 for the 1st Gen Fire TV Stick and can not test this out for now as far as rooting the device.

No. That is not normal as I've never seen that message on my 4 Fire TV devices. Just exchange it and hopefully you'll have better results trying to root a Fire TV Stick.

funny thing i was just about to take it back,i had the bag receipt and everything ready to go
i figured i'd try it one more time before going back to worst buy , i plugged it in again but this time i used the HDMI extension adapter
and it finally paired after like 10 minutes but then once i hit play it went straight into checking for updates
and it did not give me the option to configure my wifi or network settings ,it just connected and said checking for updates , so i yanked the ethernet cable from my modem out of the back of the router and this time it finally went to the registration screen
it had done this like twice before, i mean automatically going to checking for updates on power up without me configuring the wifi and i had pulled the cable but it never went to the registration screen before
i only had 2 domains blocked in open DNS
after it was on the registration screen i plugged the ethernet cable back into the router and added the other 2 domains to the block list in open DNS dash
but then i realized i was not sure if this thing even remembers the DNS settings, i assume it did not ,so i think that was a waste of precious time because i think it just connects to wifi without even going through open DNS if it goes to checking for updates on power up without giving you the option to pick the wifi network,enter the password and set the DNS settings, but i am really not sure about this
after i added the other 2 domains in open DNS and had all 4 on the list i went and checked the about menu and seen it was still on 5.0.5 and not on 5.0.5.1 , then i went and turned on adb and unknown apps
then i went to cmd prompt and connected to it and did pm hide com.amazon.device.software.ota
then i went into about checked it to make sure it was still on the older fw, then i went to check for updates and realized i forgot to disconnect the modem from the router, so i unplugged it again , i noticed it had downloaded the update or at least it looked like it did because the progress bar was all the way at the end but it was not installing
then i ran adb fire and debloater tool and did the hide the update.ota.apk option just to be sure
i have restarted a couple times and it is still on 5.0.5 ,but i still have not reconnected the wifi yet
but i think i should be in the clear,but the weird thing is that after i restarted it once or twice it still had the message in the check for updates menu that said downloading 5.0.5.1 ,it would not go away then i ran the debloater tool and hid the ota.apk
and now when i go in there it just hangs at checking for updates(but i did not yet reconnect the router to the modem yet) and the message about downloading 5.0.5.1 is gone
but i watched a few tutorial videos and they all show that it gives them an error message in checking for updates menu screen mine does not give me that message ,it just hangs at checking for updates and i am afraid to plug the modem back into the router now
but when i did both block methods, the one through cmd prompt it said some message, can't remember it exactly but it said something like hide: true so i assume it worked and in debloater it said something like status hidden
i did try to run the cmd prompt method again after i rebooted the 1st time to be sure but it kicked some error the second time maybe cause i was telling it to hide something that i already hid , but debloater seems to have given the confirmation even after i ran the cmd method
it has also stopped giving me the not amazon power supply error now too
i think maybe because when i initially powered it on for the 1st time it was connected to the tv usb , but then i switched it to the amazon power supply but it still was giving me the message on every reboot, it's like it remembers whatever it was connected to on initial boot and does not forget it until you finally get through completing the setup even if you switch it to the amazon power supply
I'm a bit confused. Is your Fire TV Stick rooted now?

no it is unrooted on 5.0.5
i just used adb to block updates
it's brand new i was just trying to get past the initial setup without updating so i can root it in the future when rbox releases a pre rooted custom rom for it
but it would not go past the error screen and get to the registration screen
then it rebooted and went straight to checking for updates which it had done a few times before but this time it went to the registration screen after checking for updates, it usually just hung on that screen for about an hour and went back to the error screen no matter what i did
since it went to checking for updates right after i turned it on and pressed play without me configuring the network settings and DNS setting i did not put in the open DNS settings, so i don't know if remembers them from previous boots when i did enter them
so i am wondering if it not connecting through open DNS is what finally let me get to the registration screen
like if it has something in the FW that detects weather or not a proxy like open DNS is being used when it gets to connection successful and then it tells the device hey do not let this go to registration if a proxy is being used or if the update domains are blocked through open DNS
but then again i did have it go to checking updates a few other times at boot and i did not configure the wifi and DNS settings and it still hung on checking for updates and kicked back to error screen every single time
i don't what made it finally work but it was getting really frustrating, especially with the length of time it hung on the checking for updates screen
Their have been no updates on the above TV since June 2020.
Apps within Google Play Store are very poor. I sideload quite a few of the apps I require
Does anyone know of any alternative/custom firmware I can install on the above TV?

It seems that we will stay on Oreo. Maybe some security update, but ....
The new models are almost the same in terms of equipment.
Philips does not update. But developers can update much more stable (android 9 or android 10)
after restarting tv suddenly recovery gave such an error. what to do?
Hi,
did a restart help?

Hi all!,
I have a similar issue with my 55pus7303/12 but android tv isn't launching. I can see the TV channels by TDT DVB but when I try to open the home Android tv interface, the screen turn black or when I try to open the menu, menu is pixelated in the upper left corner.
I tried to reinstall the TPM171E_1.143.0 but still the same issue. (This is a recommendation by the SAT Philips support)
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Hey.
Any one else got casting problems following the July security update?
Noticed yesterday that I cant now cast to any of my devices from my Moto One Action. It may be coincidence but I was able to before. Its not the cast network or the devices themselves as they can all be seen by my Nest Hub and other phones. I have turned everything and everthing related off an on again and no luck. Even reset one of my Home Minis and tried to re-add it. It gave an error at the final setup stage and ended up in the same state as before. Only odd thing is that the VLC app can cast - it must use a different route to them. I think it may be some kind of network blocking. I can see the cast devices m my phone on the network with an IP/port scanner and throught the Google Home app but cant cast from anywhere other than VLC. Had a long chat with Google help but no luck.
Any suggestions?
