tv remote feature not choosing HD channels - AT&T HTC One (M7)

I really like this feature on the phone but, even though I seem to be configuring my tv and cable box correctly, when I change channels it's choosing the 'standard def' and not the hi-def equivalents. I do have the "choose HD where available" or whatever option enabled in the settings. So instead of changing to ESPN in HD on channel 849 it chooses standard def channel 49. Other than this issue everything else is fine.
I have Comcast/Xfinity with a Motorola HD box.

Mine works fine with direcTV so it may be an issue with your cable provider.

i'm on a different provider but i'll tell you what fixed mine. It seems the instructions for Time Warner had some things wrong . During setup it asked if i got channel 59..which i dont so i answered no. It then set me up like i had standard cable without the digital tier. just 70 channels.. I re ran the setup and chose Yes for channel 59, then it picked them all up. Hundreds of channels. So if it is asking you similar questions, change your answers and try.

never mind...im stupid. I didn't see that you already tried the thing in settings.

ahh the hell with it. I've played with the setting every which way with no luck. Odd thing is, I remember getting the question "do you get channel whatever" the very first time I configured the remote, but haven't been asked that on any of my subsequent attempts. pffft.

Yeah same here. I had to clear all data from the tv app in the app settings before i got the channel question again. i bet that is your fix... at least it was for me.
Settings>Apps>All>Find TV then hit force stop and clear data, clear cache. Then run the setup again and it should be like the first time.

Hey, that worked. It's all good now. Thanks for the tip.:good:
Actually, spoke too soon. I'm getting a mix of both standard and hi-def channels using the remote.

[Q] Opera mobile users: Embedded youtube vids

Been running opera mobile 11.5.3, but have had zero luck with embedded youtube videos. Any others noticing the same in opera? Tried all kinds of different settings, clearing data, reinstalls, etc. Interesting enough, i get audio, along with a black box as opposed to the video.
Opera mini opens the vids in youtube, so worst case i go to that. Worth noting, this link works in every other browser i have installed and plays the embedded vids. So pretty sure its just opera mobile unfortunately...
Test page:
http://terrillthompson.com/tests/youtube.html
I do too. Same black box. Too bad cuz I love the smoothness and speed of opera.

same here, haven't found a browser that renders as quickly as opera. rarely ever see any tiles when loading pages.
Just tested on my skyrocket... loads with no issues. So its something with the prime. hopefully fixed in a future release. guess i'll shoot an email to the dev.
this is because opera mobile needs to update it for optimal use with our device also. only sound plays out. maybe we need to leave some comments on marketplace or email the developer to address the issue.
edit: I left a comment on marketplace. seen another guy named Ryan, that owns a Prime, also left the same complaint.

as far as i can tell yeah, one other thing i wish they would fix is when you click a youtube mobile link instead of opening youtube it directs you to the youtube page, Opera needs to update so i can stop using two different browsers simultaneously
I put it in tablet mode and it didn't work for videos embedded in general section I was trying to look at. I press the big white play button n nothing shows up. I had flash on demand. So I tries again enabling itall the time and nothing shows up in that area period. SMH. Opera need to hurry up n update..lol

What I did is un/reinstall flash, set Opera to tablet mode and flash always on. Works for me. Only thing is that youtube mobile pops up. Not ideal, but doable till an update of Opera. Meanwhile I use boat browser.

[Q] SiriusXM app?

Anyone able to get SiriusXM app to work on NT?
It installed for me with no problem, but when I try to login, the progress circle just spins.
Maybe I'm having a dense moment, but wouldn't the Nook need GPS hardware to pick up XM? Then again, I only have XM in the car and may be missing something.

Yea, I should have known that. I had the trial internet option for awhile several years ago.
I get the same thing. I'm sure it's just the Sirius app itself. It's notorious for being one of the biggest POS apps in the Market, and it appears that Sirius and/or the devs couldn't care less about all of the complaints in it's comment section.
same issue at first
I was having the same issue, just a "loading" indication, then it would just close out with no message or error. Today I just got the updated apk, and now it will go through with logging in and updating some files, but then when it's about to pop up with the channels, I get the Force Close notification.
Q&A go to Q&A. Getting tired of moving threads.
this not connecting is still happening...it's a shame too, I listen to downloaded Stern Shows and would love to take this task and put it on the tablet instead of listening on my phone and wasting that battery....
any updates would be great

[VIDEO] Hulu Fix for CM9 Android on the HP Touchpad

Some content like the Modern Family on their homepage does freeze after the adds using ICS+ browser.
http://www.hulu.com/watch/332079/modern-family-virgin-territory
That same video played in Maxthon for tabs plays but it is choppy. It doesn't freeze. "The Middle" was choppy in Max too. Didn't try in ICS+. I don't have time to test today.
Other content does play smooth. Not sure what the difference is between that Modern Family and others that play smooth. I dont use Hulu plus.
I'm not looking for support. I saw that others have posted comments on the youtube site about freezing. I just thought I would point it out in case others post about this problem.
Works great...now has anyone been able to get HBO GO to work?

Screen keeps blanking out- Hulu on Touchpad CM9
Hello Reverend,
First of all, I must say your videos are very detailed and easy for a non-techie like myself to understand! Thanks.
Last night, following your instructions, I successfully updated my touchpad to finally view Hulu (reference: [VIDEO] Hulu Fix for CM9 Android on the HP Touchpad)..herein lies the problem...
When I enlarge the screen, the video portion goes blank after about three seconds, but the audio remains on. Is there something I need to adjust? Please help. It's great to watch Hulu, but a small screen is not the best way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
mark
Works...
Can confirm screen goes black for a second or so leaving the audio running so A/V becomes barely noticably off sync..
Good find though..
thanks OP.. uh Rev..
=o)
Thank you, Rev. It worked for me using root explorer and no PC.
HBO GO
I wish it did work with HBO GO but I get the same Message upon starting the AP non supported version of android. Hope someone can solve this. Netflix, Hulu, Crackle all work great. Just not HBO GO...

Well I get that too and I have AdFree installed. You just have to wait until the timer counts down. There is a little timer at the top of the video. It should say
Ad 1 of 2 00:30
Then
Ad 2 of 2 00:30
Wait until they are done and it should play. You wont see any ad.
I do notice that it sometimes gets stuck on 00:01. Just try again.

Cablevision Optimum App with Live Streaming

Here is a link to Cablevisions Optimum app that allows you to stream live TV for Cablevision customers. The one on the Play store does not work on the Transformer prime but this one does.

Download link works for me. App works with live streaming of cable channels, plus remote control of cable boxes in my home. As the OP described, you need to clear the app data and sign in each time you run the app. Good find.

Out of bandwidth. Someone else host it as well please? Dropbox maybe?
this works on my rooted gt n7000
asks me for permission I deny and bam it works
on my non-rooted nexus 7
I followed the same directions and after logging in it asks me to update my version and that it's too old
do I need to be rooted for this to work ?
Can we get a modified app which will let us use external displays?
Amazing!! Thank god!
I am so happy, im sitting here watching sports center on my Tablet (Zenithink C93 ZTPad)
When I tried to use live TV feature with the App in google play it says that my device is not supported. This one works perfect on my 10" tablet.
now im really happy. because this is much nicer to watch on than my 4.5" phone screen.
The next thing I need to figure out is how I can watch the optimum app on the road. (not on my home router). They say to use VPN, I can see that working, however Id like a simpler option, if at all possible.
Anyone have any ideas?
Finally Cable vision releases it! Two years late...lol
Inserted 20ยข for the first three minutes
uh oh.... problem
So it works fine when u install and run it first time. once u close out of the app and restart it goes back to saying "not supported". Why is this? is there anything we can do to make this work. I think it might be VERY inconvienent to constantly uninstalling/reinstalling everytime i have to open and close this app.
any suggestions ppl?
EDIT:: Ok i didnt read thoroughly the first post. that i have to clear the data everytime. i guess that will have to do then. not the most inconveient scenario. i just wish optimum didnt have to be such a **** about it. they obviously have some sort of kickback from Apple because they have supported apple devices including ipad for years before the Android version was released.
and considering the EARLIEST android version of optimum app works fine with my tablet, it is obvious they are holding us back on purpose.

Mouse Toggle [ROOT] Nice!!

I first got this app for my FireTV and loved it. Developer now created an android tv version compatible with nexus player.
It allows you to use your stock remote as a mouse. Root is required on the nexus player.
No brainer for $0.99 as it eliminates the need for a separate bluetooth mouse or trackpad.
IMPORTANT FYI: The mouse function works WITHIN apps but not on the home screen!
Link and author's description:
Mouse Toggle [ROOT]
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fluxii.android.mousetoggleforandroidtv#hw-item-401
Add a mouse mode to the stock remote control or gamepad for Android TV.
NOTE: ROOT access is REQUIRED for this app to function.
Features:
Works just like a regular mouse that can click, long click, wheel up, wheel down, and drag.
Simple to toggle between regular remote and mouse modes.
Requirements:
1.) Android TV device(see below for supported devices).
2.) Stock / original remote control or game controller.
This actually work surprisingly well and includes an leanback icon, although I kind of wish we could hide things like this from the lean back launcher itself...

I agree with you on the leanback launcher icon. I know there needs to be a way to launch the app, but I hate scrolling through the list of apps when I know I won't be starting it up all the time.
Just tried the app. No go on Android TV 6.0. It kept on saying starting but sat there. Ended up asking for a refund. May try it again later when bugs are worked out.
Sounds cool but I will stick to my Logitech K400 Plus. I'm in and out of chrome on my nexus player anyways. However, this would have been helpful for me with HBO Go when it had to be sideloaded. Now it is available on the app store though so remote works great.

Which method did you use to root your Nexus Player? I have restored the device via the factory images(https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en#fugu) and have used both methods(post #1 & #2) in the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344
I flashed the factory images before each attempt to root and tried each method a couple of times. The app worked great during all 4 tests so hopefully we can discover what is different with your setup.
Thank you
Bought this for my fire tv and it was probably the most useful app ive ever bought for the price. On NP Im really just playing around trying to find a good use for the device. Right now im using android M rom (no leanback UI) and stock remote is useless. DOES this app work with the custom roms?

Still waiting... I finally broke down and forked over the cash for droidmote. Its a good app but doesnt replace a physical remote imho. You want to be able to just feel for the buttons when your watching tv. A phone or tablet isnt the same. Good rom. Itd be great if the remote worked.

Shouldn't be any conflict. The double tap of the play / pause button does have to be pretty quick(~400ms).
I would recommend opening the app and then toggling the enable switch off and then on to see if that helps. Did the SuperSU app prompt you for permission initially?

I did. And just took your advice and toggled on/off. Also rebooted just to see. But its working for you on 6.0? Thats strange. I just get normal remote functionality. Tried it in netflix where its needed but no cursor appears. I do have wifi keyboard attached. Would that cause issues? Doubt it since i quit droidmote and turn off keyboard. Ill keep trouble shooting but never had any issues with your app on aftv (also with wifi keyboard so yea thats not a factor)

Other devices won't cause any conflicts so you are ok there. Just to confirm a couple of items: The Nexus Player is rooted? Was the app granted root access and is it listed in the SuperSU app?
If you want to email me that may be easier.

I just heard from another user that had the same issue. Apparently the Nexus Player remote was somehow displayed as 'Spike' instead of 'Nexus Remote' in the Bluetooth paired device settings. They were able to resolve the issue by un-pairing the remote and pairing it again which correctly identified the remote as 'Nexus Remote'.
Any chance your remote is also named 'Spike'?
