[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Tweek1018:
Hey everyone, thought you all might be able to help with an issue I'm having. Ever since I've upgraded to the c900b395 update, which I did OTA rather than a full install my light sensor is gone. I've rolled back, changed to arrow and tried to flash stock with no luck. When I install sensor reading apps the light sensor doesn't even show up as being in the phone.

It's like I'm missing a driver package or something. I forgot how convenient having auto brightness and the phone screen turning off during a call was. Any ideas? The original firmware was a New Zealand spark rom but I clean degraded it.

With the fixed mentioned above, along with the first fix at the top of the form, the one to make it work on Android TV, i do believe this does work on Shield TV as well. Sorry i don't have a shield TV box to test with. There is another form that may be of help from Xfinity TV Mod Android Box (HDMI output) by aiemassfiria.

Who is responsible for the APK? Well, we all are! The link I provided was from this thread https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/xfinity-tv-mod-android-box-hdmi-output-t3535881/page13. I don't personally post links to my server. If you would like to know how its done, I suggest you follow the steps listed in this thread to modify the APK. the first one will get it to work on android TV boxes for Shield and Mi box, the second fixes the menu. There is also a fix for the HDMI as well, but not needed for the MI box or the Shield TV. you will find it in the link in this post and thanks to aiemassfiria . One thing I've observed though, the App will not work if your time isn't correct on your device, it will give a connection error when registering. So make sure the time is correct.

it install and run. But when it goes to play(stream) anything is says that is an error . Its says I have to turn on my location services. I have checked an its on as well as it is turned on for the Freerange app specifically.

Its like its not registering.

I'm also having the same issue with firetv asking to enable location services.
[Android General] internalflame:
I'm a little late but I figured out how to get past the location services message with Shaw FreeRange. I used the APK from http://199.175.53.21/shawfreerangev530004.apk posted earlier to get past the initial error about not working on casting systems or through HDMI.

You also of course need the mouse toggle app installed to navigate the left side menu. You can google it or buy the app from the Play Store to push it to your Fire Stick.

From my PC I issued the following commands

C:\Users\User> adb connect firetv.ip:5555
C:\Users\User> adb shell
shell@tank:/ $ settings get secure location_providers_allowed

shell@tank:/ $ settings put secure location_providers_allowed gps,wifi,network
shell@tank:/ $ settings get secure location_providers_allowed
gps,wifi,network
shell@tank:/ $ exit
C:\Users\User> adb disconnect

It didn't take a reboot for it to work for me. Didn't set a fake gps location either.
