Google Home cannot add Sony Android TV - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I just bought Google Home. Configured it and looks like everything is fine...a part the fact that cannot connect to the Sony TV I got in the end of last year.
It's a new model of 2016 and my phone and tablet can cast to it, the Google Home application see it but I don't know why I cannot add it. I also updated to the last version of Google Cast app for Android TV. When I go to settings "add TV & Speakers" it just shows Google Home, I click "add", it scan the network..see it (!!!), already place the blue check, I press add...and nothing. It goes back to the previous sceen and nothing changed, it shows the Google Home device and nothing more.
I tried to...
- Rename the TV
- Clear the Google Cast App cache
- Restart the TV
- Uninstall and reinstall the uptades of Google Cast
- Change network
Don't know anymore what to do but I really would like to use Google Home full potential and cast video/pictures to my TV via this device.
Hope anyone can help.
Thanks !

I 've liked the first look for time playing but 1/4 was advertisment. And after some seconds I had full screen advertisment. I can't see now why I should change back from default player.

Sounds like you are using ok google through your phone and not through your watch.
what happens when you double tap the watch screen?
Do you get this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
if not, you don't have your watch set up properly.
I know how to use Google Now on smartwatch(like you said - double tap on screen),i am not a "man of the forest" .The problem appears to be due to the fact I selected in Google Now app from the phone my native language who couldn't be used with "Ok Google" either on the phone,either on the smartwatch.I selected "English(US)" and the problem seems to be solved.Thank you anyway.
p.s.: To explain more detailed : The problem was if I say someting on the Google app from the smartwatch with smartphone screen off it loads forever on the smartwatch(the problem seems to be only on languages who don't work native with "OK Google").
Glad you worked it out.

OK Google voice detection/always listening

I am positively shocked this is not a larger issue. With the removal of the always listening options for Google Now this devices overall appeal has been greatly limited based kmy needs.
Does anyone in the community know why these features were removed or have any idea on if/when they will return?

I have everything up to date including google play services and have placed the widget on the home screen but am still only seeing 1 option. Which is to allow "OK Google" from the app.

That's not the same thing at all. For starters it takes a whole row of icons. Also it will only work when you are on that specific screen. It won't work if you have an app open and most importantly it doesn't work when the screen is off.
This certainly isn't a hardware limitation, but I think Samsung did this to get users to try the new (and greatly improved s voice). I bet their plan is to bring back Google always on detection in a later update after many people try out s voice.
Anyways in the meantime check out s voice, you might be pleasantly surprised.
I know..but all Samsung phones even nexus had have problems with that actual

Google Drive Backup - No Backup Found

I had problem with accidentally updating my Oreo 8.1 SGS9+ to Pie while being modded with Swift Installer. It failed. So I had to flash stock Oreo rom with Odin to get it working. I did a factory reset to get it running because it couldn't optimize apps.
On clean Oreo I tried to restore my old progress by logging to my main Gmail. As it always worked on all my devices in the past. But FML now everything refuses to work.
When I tried to log at the welcome screen and restore data from the old device (same model same system) NOT create new it shows something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which is not true, look at my drive -
I'm looking everywhere for a solution as I can't get past welcome screen and i won't create new (exactly same) device because I don't believe at all that Google won't overwrite the data I NEED.
Google support is also on top of **** - https://support.google.com/drive/answer/6305834?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&oco=1 by manage they understand DELETE.
What should I do. I even flashed lineageOS 15 as i thought its Samsung fault as its also based on oreo 8.1
Please help.
I have skipped the welcome screen to add account and see what will be restored. NOTHING no call logs, SMS, calendar, and of course no apps. Play store sees only 10 random apps when I can easily" count on my fingers" to 50

No Screensaver on Huawei MediaPad T5 10

Hello,
I recently bought the MediaPad and then discovered that there is no Screensaver at all. I went to a Huawei Service Center for help/repair and they told me that there is no Screensaver and there is nothing to repair. But the Screensaver is mentioned in all Manuals (english/german), but still is not there.
So I installed Lucid DayDream - clicked on DayDream Settings - and came to a Screen where there is Screensaver (Bildschirmschoner) waiting to be activated.
But I am not able to activate it
Maybe there is an ADB command to activate it.
I put in some Screenshots for Clarification.

Hi, I want to say that I have also a Huawei MediaPad M5, and I am not able to set Lucid Daydream Screensaver on it - very sadly.
I want to use the Tablet for my Home Automation, and I need a Clock on my Tablet. For years I was using an Acer Tablet, and everything worked fine.
Do you already have a solution?
My temporary workaround was to download the App Autostart and StaY! from Google Play Store, then I configured the persist monitor with my Screensaver App - which in my case was Fotoo - Digital Photo Frame Photo Slideshow Player.
Worked quite well, but finally I sold the Huawei MediaPad and bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab Samsung »Tab A 10.5 WiFi« Tablet which has a Screensaver out of the box.
I am really glad I did this.
Hope I could help.
