Gear VR

What I'd like to know is whether the Gear VR goggle that fits the S6 is also going to fit the S7??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KCRic:
There are different ones? I thought they were the same. Anyway, yes it will fit. Side by side the S6 and S7 are the same size. The volume buttons are slightly lower by a few millimeters but that's it aside from the beveled edges and other very minor changes. I tried it in my S6 case and it fits (not as snug but it would work if I were in a dire need). I'll be picking up my VR's at the store tonight so I'll try my S6 in them... before I leave the store since I have to hand over the "old" phone.

I've loaded this phone with every benchmark app I can think of and it's coming out with double the marks of the S6. 3DMark running the Slingshot ES 3.1 test got 2555. The S6 gets around 1220. I'm at work so I can't type everything, plus this isn't my thread. That said, I assume you know to take benchmarks with a grain of salt. Even so having double the numbers speaks to the S7's capability on paper and under real stress. I'm done with my tangent now :silly:

I think the tradeoff is having the ability to save photos in RAW :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Daistaar:
It does. The S7 is nearly identical in size and dimensions to the S6. I played with one at Costco and was surprised at how identical it was. The only difference was the color. Fortunately I had my Gear VR in my bag (was letting coworkers test drive it that day) and was able to plug it in. Fits exactly like my current S6 edge. It prompted to download the software so I ejected it but it does work and fit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Right on. I haven't used mine too much other than to play smash hit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danman987:
What did you get? the flat or the edge? after playing around with it for a while, is there any major difference that you notice or its essentially the same with some added features?

i got the 128 gb s6 so i dont really know if it worth change to a 32 gb with a micro sd.

one thing that annoys me about my phone is the texting. I have a lot of texts or if i text fast, theres lag on it and not fluid. you guys experience the same? any other texting apps that are better then stock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] djbutter:
Yes. Supposedly this was a reason why they didn't upgrade to USB-C for the S7.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KCRic:
Its the same for the most part. I think many of the differences come from the bump to Marshmallow and having an SD again. TW is a lot better but I can't comment much on it since I went to my favorite launcher almost immediately lol. Some menus are a bit different and ringtone selection doesn't seem to use the media/audio/ folder on the SD anymore so I have to use a third party app to find and apply them. For the most part the S7 can really be customized to you and things are much more intuitive.

As far as texting goes its very fluid. I don't have it loaded with 5 group conversations and 10 other conversations yet so I can't say 100% that it won't slow down some but under an average load its fantastic.

Edit: figured I would update my post in case anyone reads the part about the ringtones. The media/audio/ folder doesn't work anymore instead the new way to have custom notifications and ringtones show up in the systems selection menu is to make separate notifications/ and ringtones/ folders on the root of the internal or external memory cards. Media scanner seems to pick them up instantly so no reboot is needed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jonahtriangle:
For anyone who may not take the plunge because of adoptable storage. It is possible without root.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] rp3:
I took the plunge (from a 64GB S6 edge to the S7). It's a great phone. Always-on screen is a niche. The extra memory makes it more stable in multi-tasking. The memory card is cool. The curved back works fine. I decided though to switch back (to a 128gb s6 edge). The extra battery makes the phone 15% heavier (10% compared to the S6) (and, now, having had the choice, I'd rather have a lighter, thinner phone that I charge more often).

Is is worth it (to buy a s7 for 660 with free netflix/gear vr and sell a s6 for 400): almost certainly. The promos are so good right now that you can (assuming you'd pay full price for gear vr and use netflix) break even on the switch.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danman987:
You went from a s6 to s7,then back to a s6 edge?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] rp3:
S6e 64gb >S7 > S6e 128.

Right now I still have both phones as neither is complete - (S6e lacking MM, S7 lacking root)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] darklime:
I really enjoy the IR blaster so I am disappointed they removed that since the NOTE 5. Do you know if there's an easy wifi app? That might help alleviate the issue. The problem is that I will probably get the S8 or S9 and I doubt they will have an IR blaster so an app will have to do.

Hi,

when i enter Service Menu in my H960A (*#546368#*960#) in "SVC->LG RCT->Display Result" is info that i try to root device. There is an option to reset this info? Reset do nothing :)
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaarky:
Yes, but you would need to use LG recovery software, not sure how it is called and if exists for LG V10 already but it should. If not, wait for MM, it will come also with SW.

Hi All.

the purpose of this thread is to combine all the information we have about watching Live TV on our devices.

I'm purposely avoiding Kodi addons, they seem to come and go due to their questionable legality, and it's a hassle to keep up, there are already multiple webpages discussing them.

here goes nothing.

Proper Live TV

1) Android TV Live channels

it's in my opinion the best way to watch TV on Android TV devices, the necessary framework, but does not seem to be popular at this stage

2) NHK World app.

NHK world is a fantastic app to watch NHK World TV, recently made Android TV compatible, it does not yet integrate to Live Channels, I have sent NHK an email requesting for this, but have not heard back.

If you support this, please send them an email, the more the merrier.

3) Cumulus TV.

This app allows you to manually enter HLS streams into Live channels, it's got great potential (if you have some HLS streams) but it does not work properly at this stage. developer is working on fixing it.

If you have any HLS streams or m3u8 links, please contribute.. if this takes off make we can share json files.

4) Mediahhh

App for UK Live TV channels, works great, not available in the play store, does not integrate with Live channels unfortunately. emailed them but no response.

Semi Live TV

1) Pluto TV.

Great app, makes channels from youtube sources, and integrates to Live channels. try it!

2) Haystack TV

Has a few Live USA channels, doesn't integrate with Live channels.

3) Class6ix news

Has news channels tailored to your location, I believe it works in US, UK and AUS

thats about it from me..

anyone?
[Shield Android TV General] serpentxx:
Just wanted to point out that the current version of CumulusTV from the play store (1.4.10) as you mentioned doesn't work.

It has been fixed for a week now with the release of version 1.5.1

Two options to get the latest release is either sign up for beta's on the play store by just visiting this link:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.felkertech.n.cumulustv

OR, get the latest compiled APK direct from github and sidelaod it

https://github.com/Fleker/CumulusTV/releases
[Shield Android TV General] xaudiblex:
How did you get this to integrate with Live Channels?
[Shield Android TV General] kllngtme:
+1 on this... I have Haystack TV and it doesn't integrate with Live Channels. It'd be great if it did.
[Shield Android TV General] xd4d3v:
my bad, it doesnt.

send the devs an email from the email support on the play store.. maybe they'll do it.
[Shield Android TV General] sumer1:
There are a bunch of apk's floating around here's a link to some http://justnewtech.com/android-apk/

The best way to watch live tv for me is through kodi. There are a bunch of free addons-Castaway,DNA TV etc. They are pretty stable. If you want something that's really stable try DEXTER TV in kodi. The pro version cost about 5 bucks a month and has 390 live channels in HD.
[Shield Android TV General] xd4d3v:
Hi there.

thanks, most of these are for on demand watching.

what I'm looking for is live TV.

some are "live TV" basically just point to an HLS stream from somewhere on the internet, but the selection of streams is very poor.

ccloud is one of these addons that is supposed to be the best atm, but it has gone downhill to the point of being unusable.
[Shield Android TV General] sumer1:
Mobdro ( has ads)and Husham ( no ads) live tv apk are live tv apps. Hushams app has 600 channels.

Most people know that kodi addons go up and down however Dexter is the most stable. 5 bucks a month for 390 channels ( most in HD) is cheap. The "donation" is for the equipment to keep the channels going. Other IPTV services charge alot more. I don't know of any other live TV apps that are free!!! apert from the first two apps I mentioned, but they only stream in SD. I'm not affiliated with Dexter but so far that's the most stable source I've found. BTW there are way better addons than cCloud.

Cheers.
[Shield Android TV General] bornagainpenguin:
Do they integrate with the Google Live Channels app? After testing some of the ones listed in the earlier directory I can say most of the ones I tried not only did not integrate, they did not work half of the time or required the use of a touchpad or airmouse simply to navigate around. Disappointing.
[Shield Android TV General] xd4d3v:
Yeah, I agree with you, very dissapointing.

Although, we can sort of expect this of some dodgy app, but for mainstream apps, this should not happen. It's not that difficult to change the app for proper Android TV controls, and Live channels. they probably can't be bothered due to the low user base.
[Shield Android TV General] xd4d3v:
Hi Sumer.

yeah, ccloud is very poor, but are there better addons for Live TV?

Dexter is a netflix kind of service, not Live TV..
[Shield Android TV General] sumer1:
You can cast the apps from your phone. The Husham app and mediahhh work with the shield remote. You're more than welcome to find other apps and post them.

Cheers

DEXTER is live TV!!!! it also has some 24/7 channels. please do your research. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8FD2n55kSQ
[Shield Android TV General] xd4d3v:
Hey sumer, don't take it personal. We're just disappointed at the general options out there not about your comments.Thanks for the input
[Shield Android TV General] hpric:
Dexter has been down for a bit now. I cannot log on or retrieve my password. I even tried to create a new account and the system will not allow me because it says my account already exist but when I try to retrieve my pw it says no active account
[Shield Android TV General] sumer1:
You should bring that up in the FB group or email them. Are you using DEXTER PRO? The regular Dexter(non pro) will be down for a awhile. Like any other addon there is sometimes a server overload however the Dexter team is good at getting it( pro version) up an running quickly. Clean your cache in kodi that may help.

LWS, UK turks, Channel Pear, Ares streams, Khaoz live tv and Navi X have live TV channels. Not every channel works but you can save the ones that do to your favorites.

Cheers

[Shield Android TV General] hpric:
Yes, I have brought it up on Facebook group and no I'm not on PRO but I've bee trying to but it won't allow me to register :(
[Shield Android TV General] sumer1:
Dang that sucks. I remember i had some issues in the beginning.I think i had to register through their webpage (not the FB) then it worked after that.

Anyway there is a custom kodi build called the Gears of War and Gears of War TV. It has live tv channels that are exclusive to the build. it's free :) this offers some good stuff. The build is being released later tonight. Oh it gets updated at least once a week sometimes twice so the channels are pretty stable.

for live channels

seems it will only sync with haystack and pluto

anymore that yall know of that will work with Live Channels?
[Shield Android TV General] wileywos76:
There's a few apps for the HDHomeRun devices. I forget the names since I quit using them when I sold my old HDHomeRun. The cool part with the HDHomeRun is that it would let you watch any cable channel (You could also use an antenna) you have including DRM ones playback in Live Channels. There's also PuppetMaster.TV which has news from around the world and some live streams from the International Space Station. The Weather Network which gives you nationwide weather reports but shows your local weather on screen overlaid on top of it. Bloomberg and Haystack TV both support Live Channels now as well.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

Also has anyone had any luck with configuring Cumulus TV? I can't get it to work with any IPTV streams.
[Shield Android TV General] Mr Creosote:
I've never got on very well trying to set up kodi's integrated live tv and epg myself, however I've found it does work extremely well if you use a kodi custom build. custom builds work just as well with spmc, which is what I use.

I'm wary of naming any custom builds, because of their association with enabling access to copyrighted material, but I found the one that I use by searching for "best kodi custom build for uk tv". the live tv and epg integration works brilliantly and there's a ridiculously number of channels.
[Shield Android TV General] geezahak:
I totally agree kodi is great for managing your own media library but have found the TVPlayer app great for UK live tv channels. It is free to watch UK terrestrial tv channels and catch up tv as well as internet channels are available as a subscription service.

TVPlayer unlike any Kodi add ons gives broadcast quality video and audio.
[Nexus Player General] xd4d3v:
Hi All.

Will keep an eye on it. I've tried Cumulus TV but it had issues. Talked to the dev and said he updated it recently (on his github, not the play store) but haven't tried it again. Need to.

Would love to find a current list of streams to use with it.
[Nexus Player General] usafle:
Just picked up a NPlayer recently so I'm kind of still tinkering. First time I've heard of this app. I guess, like you said, without a repo of "streams" the app would be pretty much useless?
[Nexus Player General] salmast:
Installed Kodi and then the Kodimaster Repo which results in thousands of live TV channels, to fills all your needs, FULL Content. If you've already installed a bad repo, like me, just clean it out first by going to Kodi settings for the clean up tools. A good youtube video for installing KodiMaster is this one: watch?v=9t504EGs2jc

Does anyone know how to add chrome bookmarks shortcut to NexusPlayer home page, or even Kodi home page? I tried a sideload app & right click and long click with keyboard and mouse, but no dice. Please!!!
[Nexus Player General] usafle:
Sorry cant help you with the Chrome bookmark. From my understanding, there is no "Chrome support" for Nexus Player. I use ES File Explorer's "built in" web browser when I need to go on the web.

I'll take a look at your KodiMaster, which will require a full wipe of Kodi (again), I've been playing around with some Kodi repos lately and just can't seem to find any that "work" so, what's one more wipe, right? LoL
[Nexus Player General] salmast:
Fusion repo was a joke, but only because it's setup wizard doesn't fully install apps, leaves that to you. Kodimaster delivers..

On the bookmarks issue, sideload app called "My Bookmarks (Free)", I need to try again with physical keyboard and mouse.

Just strange how these SmartTV boxes never seem to complete.
[Nexus Player General] nd4spdviper:
Cumulus TV works nice and it's great on the NP because it integrates with Android's Live Channels App, although it's not as simple/straightforward. I went to the github page and found out you can load your own m3u8 from a file manager and it will load the channels just fine as with any other IPTV software.
[Nexus Player General] tony1208:
Running kodi with beast installed... Comes with lives TV addons but ipstalker is the best has HBO Showtime ect but you gotta pay for it...40 a hr..
[Nexus Player General] usafle:
Thanks for your suggestion, installed Kodimaster and so far, I'm liking it.

I'd really like to get Cumulus TV working for USA, but without any JSON US files for me to copy/paste into G-Drive, it's pretty much useless. I really don't have the time to run a "stream sniffer" program to get the URL and etc..etc..etc...

I was hoping there would be a repository of JSON US TV channels that would make it easier, but, unfortunately, I can't find any.
[Nexus Player General] salmast:
Long clicking on any of the live channels will get you an "add to bookmarks" feature, but it looks to me like the live links may change frequently (some links don't last).

Hello there!

I've noticed the resources for us using the ZE500CL variant of the ZenFone 2 line of phones are few and far between, so I decided to make this list of methods I personally tested for rooting, unlocking the bootloader and temporarily flashing TWRP (tethered recovery).

I apologize in advance if I'm breaking any forum rules, but I'll make sure to credit everyone who's guides and files I'll be presenting here. I am only posting this to help fellow ZE500CL owners in finding all the necessary tools and methods for various things they need. None of the tools and guides below are my work, all credit goes to their original creators.

I'll update this when I test more things, so keep an eye on this post in the future ;)

Unlock Bootloader

Please note: Only do this is you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing. Your warranty will be void and you will not receive further OTA updates. There are also NO CUSTOM ROMS for this phone. I am not responsible for damage to your device.

So, we've finally officially got the Bootloader Unlock tool from ASUS. It was uploaded in the "Driver & Tools" section on the ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE500CL official page just yesterday (I've checked it two days ago, it wasn't there, so it was most likely yesterday). I've got the information from this ZenFone 2 ZE500CL ZenTalk Forum post. I tried it, and it worked perfectly!

You can download it from here:

Temporary (Tethered) TWRP

This works like a charm tethered, but I didn't try flashing it. When I find one that works, I'll update this post with new information. If any of you find one before me, please notify me :) This one was, after all, not built specifically for the ZE500CL. Credit: [MENTION=2388665]TheSSJ[/MENTION]
