[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronwi2:
I have the 2017 Shield.

I have used BBCIplayer in the US on many Android devices over the years. I usually install from apk or a British Google Play account, and then use a smart DNS service (smart DNS sends the proper signals through a VPN so the BBC server sees me as being in the UK, but the actual video is not sent through the VPN. Except for the limited purpose, the device has a US ip address.)

For every device except the Shield, once the Iplayer app is installed, it stays installed and visible.

The Shield has its own Nvidia made version of Iplayer (the regular version does not work with Google TV.) I installed this once from the Google Play store with a UK Google Play account. It worked fine, then disappeared after a while. I can now get it to work by using a copy of the Nvidia Iplayer apk that I downloaded from the internet - I click on the apk in file manager and then click on the "market" option rather than the "install" option. I am then given a screen where I can "enable" the Iplayer, and it then appears again as a usable app.

If I go into settings when the app is enabled it shows as a system app, rather than a downloaded app (as does the proprietary version of the Amazon video player.)

One of the reasons that I like Android is that it has less of the "big brothery" stuff than IOS (or a Roku, for that matter.) So it pisses me off that the device I paid for is actively frustrating my watching what I want to watch with an app which is on the machine. I'm not saying that Nvidia should be providing me with a VPN connection, but on the other hand it shouldn't be actively blocking me from what I want to do.

Short of hooking up to a VPN 24/7,any ideas as to how to stop this disabling of the app?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunydub:
I want to try this.. Brit now in Germany. I installed express vpn on my shield but didn't look for iplayer yet.

I assumed I would need vpn set to UK all the time I wish to use BBC then disconnect vpn for normal use.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beze5:
From Nvidia :

The BBC iPlayer app is only available inside the UK. If you are not located in that location or have recently moved out of the UK then the app will no longer be available from the main menu of SHIELD Android TV.

If you are located in the UK, please ensure that Location Services is enabled. To do so, navigate to the Settings menu and then into the Personal->Location menu and ensure it is enabled.

If you prefer not to use Location Services, please ensure that the device language selection is set to "English (United Kingdom) (GB)". To do so, navigate to the Settings menu and then into the Preferences->Language menu and select the language from the list.

----

so:

Disabled Location

Set English UK Language

Reboot

Enjoy

Tested

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsonash:
Hi, after battling with the same issue for some time on the 2015 shield, I've been able to work out a solution;

I've posted the solution up here;

https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1011733/shield-tv/how-to-fix-the-disappearing-bbc-iplayer-app-for-out-of-region-/

In-case it gets taken down for any reason, the solution is to extract out the APK of the iplayer system app (using ES file explorer on the shield TV), then pull the resulting APK into "APK Editor Pro" and then modify the app name and package name to create a new APK (making sure the package name doesn't have iplayer in it) and then sideload it onto the shield TV.

This way when the shield is booted, only the inbuilt iplayer app is disabled, but not the modified cloned app.

I expect this same process to work with many other inbuilt apps on the shield TV that might be disabling out of region.

Hope this helps someone!
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chainfire3356:
Hi Watsonash, I scanned the apk you've kindly shared for the disappearing iplayer & it's infected with malware; I checked it with both VirusTotal and NVISO APKScan...
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsonash:
hi, those products must be reporting false positives. As said I simply used "APK Editor Pro" to change the information, so unless this in injecting malware (which I'd say is most definitely not the case). I described the process so there is nothing stopping you from taking the exact same approach yourself and generating the modified apk yourself. I just installed Virustotal and it said the apk simply wasn't in its database (which is correct as APK Editor Pro has to resign the app as part of the packaging process).
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chainfire3356:
Hi Watsonash, I aplogize, I should have clarified in my original comment that I didn't think you were purposely putting that apk out there with malware; I was just trying to be brief in my comment, which isn't something that comes naturally, as you'll see... My reasons for posting were to let you know that a scan dectected malware so you could look into why that was & fix it - that being said, every day is a new school day for me, because I wasn't aware of the false positive thing until you mentioned it. Now I understand that it's not something that you can"fix"and it isn't likely infected. I don't know how to modify anything - the only knowledge I have is knowing where to look to find clever people like you who do the work to fix annoying issues like the iplayer disappearing. I am eternally grateful for people like you who figure these things out for people like me & to have learned something new about the false positive issue; I was stupidly thinking that since two different websites showed positives that something was there, but now that I've read into a bit, I've clued in that the majority of the actual antivirus programs on both sites marked it clear. I see now that there are many variables taken into account when these programs come up with a result that doesn't look good.

Again, I apologize; this is why I usually just read & then research & never post comments - I should stick to doing that! Thank you for figuring out this fix; it's very much appreciated!

same issue with zuk z2

Hello there... Any solution you found? I am stuck with my zuk z2 in same situation ?? any help ?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] MikeS.:
I have a similar problem.

What caused the black screen? -

History:

I booted to test mode at 2.5.033 ST, the phone got stucked at this menue there was no way to get out. TWRP Restore to Nandroid bougt only black screen after 2nd vibration and ZUK logo.

I fixed the Test mode bug, by flashing the ZUI 1.9.104 ST Stock ROM via QPST.

After the phone was "repaired" I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, made a nandroid backup of fully stock ROM and restored a nandroid backup from before the test mode problem.

The nandroid restore was successful, I rebooted the phone and it was "dead". Black screen, only rebooting (perioldy vibrating) there was no end, until the battery was empty.

I got no luck to reach any mode with tricky button pressing (vol+ pwr; vol- pwr; vol+ vol- pwr; usb in vol-) nor Windows detecting the phone. That's why I decided to remove the back glass cover, to got access to the battery.

Now I'm able to get the phone detected by my PC.

What I did: disconnect the battery, connect the phone to my computer, pressed the vol- button and connect the battery.

This made my PC able to detect the phone, but no I have an other problem. Windows only detects the phone as "unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed)". I don't know any way to install the driver....

Maybe anyone is able to help me or has any tip?

Thanks!

Cheers,

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] MikeS.:
Hi,

Thanks for your quick response.

The Hardware ID: USB\DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE

"Error Message": This device has been stopped because it has reported errors. (Code 43)

An error occurred while requesting the USB device descriptor.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] OtakuLi:
Alright bro, there is one method you can try.

http://zukfans.eu/community/threads/howto-flash-a-stock-zui-rom-zuk-z2-pro-z2121-only.57/

I assume your phone is a brick now. The only method you can use is the 9008 unbrick mode. (AKA QBST)

There are a few things you need to prepare before you save ur phone. U need to download the require application that the website provided above, after you set everything up,

make sure you download the latest 2.5 QBST rom,

http://bbs.lenovomobile.cn/z2pro/t554654/

Because ur phone wont be able to enter 9008 through software, thus u need to do the following.

1. Load the content XML fille,

2.Turn off your phone. After it's fully shutdown

3. press and hold the volume up button for 3 seconds

4. press power button while hold the volume up (press it for 0.5second and keep holding it)

5. after 0.5 seconds, plug in the usb right away

6. the QFIL tool should appear the Qualcomm usb QD loader

7. the download button should turn blue

8. flash it and wait for reboot
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] MikeS.:
Thanks for your tip.

I followed your described procedure, but the phone will not be recocnized by the PC.

1st: I loaded QFIL XML file. (By the way this tut is made by me) :)

2nd: I disconnected the battery (The phone can't be turned off normally!)

3rd, 4th, 5th

6th: nothing happend!

7th: "-"

8th: "-"

The only way the phone will detected by the PC:

1st: disconnect battery

2nd: plug in USB (PC and Phone)

3rd: press VOL+ or VOL- or PWR button (doesn't matter which one)

4th: connect battery

5th: detected as "unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed)"
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] OtakuLi:
Make sure you have to plug in the usb right away as soon as you u press power, and keep holding them
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] MikeS.:
Yes, I did exactly you described. Sorry but this isn't working.

I don't know what I should do. Even a repair shop couldn't fix it.

Maybe I need to do this:

http://bbs.lenovomobile.cn/z2/t121791/?highlight=900e

But I don't want to destroy my PC (3000 bugs)
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] OtakuLi:
:( oh well, good luck
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] MikeS.:
I will report the result.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] MikeS.:
OK. I made the deepflash cable.

After using it there is no difference between pressing one of the button combinations I recently mentioned (VOL+ or VOL- or PWR).

The phone will be detected as Unknown device. After intalling my modified driver to match the unknown ID, QFIL don't detect the COM Port.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] ute2001:
Hello had the same problem, only with the difference that my battery was not completely discharged.

What has helped:

1 Start QFIL Tool

2 Press the volume +

3 Connect the original cable to the PC

4 QFIL Tool recognized the phone and I could play an original Rome.

Ps. Is now the battery cover (glass) broken?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] MikeS.:
No, I used a hairdryer, a razorblade, plastic tool and a suction cup to lift the backcover glass.

The glass is fully intact no damages.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] ute2001:
You have good nerves. I would not have expected that.

But in the end, it does not matter if it does not start anymore.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] phonetech101:
Hey guys, I recently starting using "wakelock detector" and google play service's is constantly triggering wakelocks, so how do I stop these wakelocks?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ooMoo:
I dont know how to stop them but i do have a few ideas that might stop it intruding and might help as a result.

In settings you could try turning off notifications for the play store. That will prevent some wakelocks as it wont wake the screen to inform you of app updates.

If you go to apps... Data usage you could try turning off background data. Then the app store cant do anything without the app being open on your screen. Warning that may mean apps wont update automatically from the play store any more.

Hope this helps :)

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartleby999:
Hey, does anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?

Basically almost everytime I try to connect a bluetooth speaker to my Tab S the WIFI slows down. I have a 200Mb connection, which works perfectly, but when I connect my "fake" beats pill to it, the WIFI slows and Youtube constantly buffers on HD streams, when I run a speed check I usually get between 0-10Mbps, now, if I turn off Bluetooth the speed will increase back to between 150-200Mbps. So it's definitely a bluetooth problem.

The thing is though, if I continuously discconnect the Wifi, bluetooth and powering off the Tab S eventually it will connect fine and speed will run as usual, but obviously rebooting everything for 15minutes is a pain and if there's a fix, I'd like to find it.

Thanks for the help guys.

Hey everyone. I know this has probably been posted so many times and it is a bit of a noob question. But I would like to know what are the most stable Marshmallow (MM) ROMS for the 910f. If there is another post like this, please just link me instead. Also, a reference on how to root would be nice (I'm not really concerned about KNOX).

I used to have an HTC Rezound so I'm pretty familiar with rooting but I accidentally hard bricked it. I'm really hesitant on rooting again. But I hate the TWZ theme on the phone and I'd like to uninstall some stock apps. Also AOSP was great for me but I see a lot of threads that say some things don't work (like camera and screen rotation which are important for me).

tl;dr: need best ROM for 910f, without issues, as daily driver (preferably AOSP and MM 6.0.1)

Are there more than one method to root? I'll definitely be doing what you suggested this weekend. And as for a ROM I was thinking of keeping a stock rooted ROM for 6.0.1 Marshmallow and just install a theme mod.

Hi everybody,

I've posted this question some time ago on the [STOCK] Guides and Stock Backups/Recovery/OTA/RUU thread, but didn't get an answer there. So I'm trying my luck here, because the problem I'm encountering is really annoying and messes with my phone's performance. If anybody could help me, I would really appreciate it.

I'm unlocked and rooted. When I clear cache and Dalvik in TWRP, in the 'Android Optimizing Apps'-screen there are only 5 apps to optimize. This should be 260+ apps. It happened before, but the problem disappeared when there was an Android update. Unfortunately a couple of weeks later, the problem resurfaced overnight. The result of the fact that the majority of apps aren't optimized is buggy performance. For instance Poweramp stutters when playing a song.

Don't know if it's of any importance, but /data/dalvik-cache/arm holds only 9 files.

Does anybody recognize this problem?
