Logging into XFINITY on Amazon Fire Stick

Download the WUKONG REMOTE CONTROL apk from the 1MOBILE MARKET (NOTE: make sure it's the 1mobile MARKET site, NOT the 1mobile.com site. Once there click the search engine and search for the app by name)

Once downloaded, sideload the apk onto your Fire Stick and install it the same way you installed the XFINITY app... Next go to the Google Play store on your phone or tablet and install the WUKONG REMOTE CONTROL app from there. This will be your new remote. Open the app, let it scan for local devices and select your SmartTV Fire Stick from the list. Tap the square button with the 4 dots in the top-right corner... select the MOUSE MODULE and boom! You can now drag your finger across the screen and tap on areas to type in your info and login to the app. Yay! You are now logged in. Now once logged in you can use the MOUSE MODULE to navigate through the XFINITYV app. To scroll up and down, click the square button with the 4 dots again and select the CLASSICAL MODE. Tap the UP and DOWN arrows to scroll. Tap the back arrow on the bottom-right of the app to exit videos or go back to previous screens. That's all folks! Enjoy. :)

btw: this app will work with any apk app you install.

Xfinity TV Gapp 106000.35 error

Hi all,

Long time listener, first time caller here. I have successfully sideloaded the Xfinity TV Go App to my Amazon Fire TV. It worked great last night for a period of time. I exited the app, came back to it later, and now I am receiving an error code indicating the Amazon Fire TV is not a compatible device. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a workaround that does not require root and modifying the device ID with sql lite or otherwise?

Thanks.

Any update to this app? is still working great ( speccialy the live tv )?

I am thinking to buy a fire tv just for using this app
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyder:
I am using the latest version of this app on my AFTV. Seems to be working okay, as for streaming issues, well, this is comcast we are talking about. When I had HD TV from them, it looked like I was watching a blocky SD TV whenever people moved around on the HD channels. So I am not surprised when at 6pm my time I can not watch WWE Raw live on the USA network because of buffering (which then requires me to close it and reopen it because it will not connect again unless I do). But then I'd have no problem watching Fox Sports on it during the same time but on a Saturday.

Like to point out that if your comcast doesn't give you the fox sports channel, you can get always get it off their app. Go figure huh? I know this because my buddy who's Xfinity it is, doesn't get Fox Sports where he's at, so he was surprised I was able to get it, and happy because he can watch it now.

Still have to use a mouse to get around with the app. Still have to sideload it from google play.

Oh, and it still doesn't stream the cartoon network/adult swim or the Comedy Central. Which is honestly making me look at the Sling option Dish is going to be doing in a couple months.

And that person with the error about device. That is weird. Uninstall it and then reinstall it to see if that fixes it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panic84:
Thanks! Sounds good. Can you confirm the app works on LAN and WIFI?

For the remote I am thinking to buy a Mele F10 airmouse that I found is compatible with AFTV

As long as you use the Fake Wifi Xposed module and check Xfinity Go app in it, you'll be fine. If you don't have a rooted AFTV, then I"m not exactly sure what you do.

I have debated rooting my firetv stick.

I have the x1 cloud and am thinking of seriously eliminating all of our access boxes.

You can have 5 devices at once streaming live channels or playing your recordings.

I usually just do miracast but I think with the actual app loaded (xfinity TV not xfinity TV go) and use my phone as the remote and keyboard and track pad for the fire tv it could be a better setup.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipercoyote:
That is correct

You got some other problems. Im using the new version and it is running perfectly!

Might of fact you do not even need the remote app really, but its harder to navigate. You have to count your clicks to know where the curser is at but it does work with the fire tv remote

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfriend33:
Any folks out there have x1 cloud???

I have had great success in watching live channels and recordings by miracasting my tablet or phone to the firetv stick. You can have up to 5 simultaneous devices streaming to your main box.

I wish I had more firetv sticks because I could essentially get rid of all 3 of my x1 access boxes!

Also when traveling I can miracast my phone to my firetv stick and watch ANY of my dvr cloud recordings! which is super cool! Plus theres all the on demand content right there in the same app.

Anyone sideloaded this directly? I'd hate to travel with a full size keyboard though.

And also, which I think is strange, For nearly 2 years all we have been told is that x1 cloud is just cloud storage for your dvr and that you can only access these recordings in home. and that basically its only good for people who travel without unlimited data because they can check the recording out and download to their phone or tablet. but i cannot be viewed anywhere else if its checked out. not sure if u can delete from tablet and recover on box?

anyway one day out of nowhere, didnt have to accept terms and conditions anywhere, I started seeing little house logos on my recordings saying they were available in home only. then i downloaded xfinity TV to my phone (not tv go) and it worked!!

Then it got even better when I ran the app from a hotel just to schedule a few things, and out of nowhere a recording on my dvr just started playing! lol. right when i was gonna buy a slingbox too. life is good!

so ya, TLDR you may want to buy a few firetvs or sticks if you can sideload the Xfinity TV (NOT TV GO) app and get rid of all of your access boxes!!! could save up to $400-$600/yr!

Very very cool! I think it's awesome that a $20-$40 stick can basically save $120 per year! Bye bye 4 x1 access boxes!

Did you know u can have 5 devices streaming at once? Not including actual cable boxes!

I get video buffering while watching sports on my Xfinity TV Go app running on an Amazon fire stick. I was going to try the fire and use direct ethernet cable from router to see if that would eliminate buffering. Has anyone found success with this?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Candurin:
Just to add to this:

I was struggling with this as I just purchased the firetv stick and I have an iPhone.

After sideloading the Xfinity TV app and settings.apk., this now works perfectly for me: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BX0YKX4 (alternate: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BALK9CM)

if you hold down the right mouse stick and use the trackpad, it scrolls just like the native android app is supposed to.

Yes, it's a $20 solution, but the keyboard has many uses. If there is ONE caveat, the trackpad area is small, so it can take multiple swipes to navigate the guide.

I don't notice a terrible degradation in video quality. Sure, it's not as good as the real HD box we have in our living room, but certainly good enough (really good) quality for a spare room.

Activation of Xfinity TV app on Fire TV (not Xfinity TV Go) Help

Hello, I see several of you have been talking about the Xfinity TV app (not TV GO) and having it work on your Fire TV but when I try to get it to work (after sideloading) I get the Start up screen then click on start and it gives me an error message stating the following link cannot be opened on the Fire TV and to open it in a browser on another device...it seems like it should be an activation site/string and when I type it in on my computer (chrome, firefox, or IE) it brings up the Xfinity log in screen but when I input my log in information and hit submit it just spins for a second then does not do anything. Just stops. Any thoughts? Anyone successfully activate X1 TV app on their FireTV? (newest version of Fire TV and Xfinity TV and tried an older version of Xfinity TV app also). Thank you.

Mouse Toggle for Fire TV is another option to navigate through the Xfinity app. It works fine, although you may need to switch between mouse/arrow modes on the same screen to get around. It does cost $3, but it's cheaper than a keyboard and keeps your coffee table cleaner. :)

Also, if you are away from your Xfinity home network, you are limited on streaming some of the Xfinity channels.

The old Xfinity TV Go app is dead, anyone able to get the *new* "Xfinity TV" app to work on the Fire TV? If so, how?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsmithb:
Xfinity TV on Fire TV Stick

After much trial and error, I have the new Xfinity TV app working on my Fire TV Stick. I did the following:

1) Side load Google Chrome. You need a web browser to log in. I tried using opera mini based on memory concerns expressed earlier, but it repeatedly failed to install.

2) Download an old version of the Xfinity TV app. The new versions won't even open on the Fire TV. The version I used was 3.2.1.028, found on an apk mirror site. Side load this to your Fire TV.

3) Start up Xfinity TV. You will need some sort of mouse or a suitable app (mouse toggle) to navigate the login, menus, etc (no different than the old TV Go app).

I am having one problem. I have used Mouse Toggle for many years with the TV Go app. I could toggle off the mouse and then press down to scroll through the channels in the old app. However, this doesn't seem to work with the new app. I assume that a Bluetooth mouse with scroll wheel will work, but I would like to avoid this extra device if possible.

Anyone successfully navigating all of the new Xfinity TV app with just Mouse Toggle or some other app?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirxdroid:
Thanks for the tips. Once the old version of the app is working, can it be updated to the newest one? Just wondering whether the problem with the new version is the authentication part.

It's awful that Xfinity doesn't allow Chromecasting and they don't support the Fire TV.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsmithb:
Xfinity TV on Fire TV Stick

I have not tried updating to the newest version after getting the old version to work. My suspicion is that it would still fail to load. I don't feel too inclined to try after all the trouble to getting it to work as is. If you try it, let me know how it turns out ;)

More info on the problem navigating the TV listings. When using a Bluetooth mouse, I find that the scroll wheel also doesn't work. Instead, you have to click the listing and then drag it in the direction you want to move. I don't think the current version of mouse toggle app is going to work with this interface. Using an actual mouse works, although it was a lot easier in previous versions with the scroll wheel.

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

Funny how the old TV Go app worked for many years despite not being officially supported for Fire TV. I know that back in April, Xfinity announced that they would partner with Roku and release an official Roku app. However, as of today, there is still no app to be found. I wouldn't hold my breath for one considering the results of the election. I think Xfinity was being pressured to make apps compatible on third party devices due to net neutrality rules. Now thanks to our new orange orangutan of a president, count on all the net neutrality rules to be rolled back in the near future. "Regulation is bad." Thanks America...

Xfinity TV on Fire TV Stick

Good to know. I've been using a regular Bluetooth mouse with the app for several hours now and it works pretty well. Your 6 or so most recently watched channels get shortcuts on the main screen, which helps. I honestly don't watch more than a handful of channels on here. I will miss my software solution to the scrolling problem, but it's not a show stopper.

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

The main reason I am avoiding buying new hardware is that I have a TV stick on every TV I own (currently 5) and I don't want to buy 5 remotes or have to constantly shuffle one remote around the house, repeated pairing, etc.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirxdroid:
How do you scroll with such a remote, for apps that are meant for touchscreens, swipe gestures?

Does a keyboard like the Logitech K400 work well with this Xfinity TV app or does it have the same issues like the Bluetooth mouse?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3adpool:
Its kinda hard to explain. You aim down or whatever direction u want to scroll and hit the ok button during your directional move with the remote to navigate futher. It takes a few hours to get acclimated to it. Honestly it's the best way to go for apps not designed for the ftv.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsmithb:
Xfinity TV on Fire TV Stick

One last suggestion that allows the new TV app live channels to be navigated with no additional hardware. Go to the live channel guide. You won't be able to scroll down with Mouse Toggle, so just select any channel to start watching. Then click the "CH" icon in the top right corner of the screen. This pulls up a list of all channels in a menu to the right. This menu can be scrolled using the Menu/FF buttons just like most things do with Mouse Toggle. A few extra clicks, but it's not too bad. Once you start streaming channels, changing channels is relatively easy.
