Answer from actualize

You have to install any ROM, but before you have to Unlock the Bootloader
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] b0gd4n:
Does anyone know an app for putting the Shield to sleep after a set time?

I know I can use the TV's sleep timer - but I use the Shield remote exclusively and the only thing I go to the TV's remote is the stupid timer.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] Acid0057:
The shield TV will turn itself off after about an hour with no use. If you have CEC setup it should turn your TV off at the same time.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] b0gd4n:
OK - good point. Does it do that if playing Plex/Netflix videos? (with autoplay enabled)
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] Acid0057:
No in my experience it won't start the one hour counter till Netflix says "Are you still watching this title?" Then don't press anything and it will turn off in an hour.

I don't use Plex enough to know if it does the same.

Also if you have CEC on and go into the shield power menu and select sleep now, it will turn the shield off and then turn off your TV.

All of this of course assumes that your TV and HDMI cable support CEC for input changing and on/off of power.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] b0gd4n:
yeah - I've got CEC on and that is what I am doing now (sleeping the shield from the power menu). I don't want to use the TV's remote at all and the only reason I keep it on my nightstand is to use the timer function.

I will test and see if it turns off with Plex autoplaying after 1hr, but ideally, it would be nice to have proper timer functionality built it.

Thanks
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] Acid0057:
You're welcome. Report back as I'd be interested to find out your results.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] revanmj:
I can already tell, that built in Android TV sleep option is not reliable - it does not work in most apps while playing (especially not with the set time), generally it works well only while you're at the home screen.

For example, with Netflix playing something my SHIELD goes to sleep only after Netflix stops (either due to "are you still watching" dialog or show's end) and in Hulu app it does not work at all (I set it to 1 hour and when I wake up in the morning, Hulu is always still playing something unless it crashed or there was some network issue).

I was looking for an app that would force sleep after set time no matter what, but unfortunately I so far didn't find anything that would work with Android TV.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] Acid0057:
Keep us posted if you do find anything please.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] rassam:

Important tax changes for Google Play purchases in India

is anybody from india got GSTIN ? how can we get it ? it is required now by google
[General Questions and Answers] gaurav.28ch:
Hey I am also an app developer about to release my app on Google Play & now stuck with this.

Please share, if you have any more leads on this.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] AmJay1985:
Well this is a serious issue now. I also received the same mail from Google.

I emailed Google at (india-gst-questions@google.com) and asked for clarification on this, but did not got the reply.

I researched a bit on GST and here are my findings:

-> If you have a business, having annual revenue of 20 Lakh per annum or above, then you need to be registered under GST.

-> Every form of online business needs to be registered under GST, irrespective of the amount of revenues generated.

The second point is worth noting. The confusion here is that whether selling apps & games on Google Play comes under "online business".

Also check out the Google Play support article https://support.google.com/payments/merchant/answer/7421525

In that article, it says

So as far as i understand this, we are required to get GST number. But wont need to pay GST tax because most developers in India does not make more than 20 Lakhs annually.

Anybody reading this please contribute your findings.
[General Questions and Answers] gaurav.28ch:
I am giving links https://www.hubco.in/articles/how-g...-india-impact-of-gst-registration-on-blogging , https://blog.cleartax.in/gst-bloggers-register, which say that blogging will be considered a service & income generated through Google ads etc. will come under GST. And exemption limit of Rs. 20 lakh is not applicable for blogging services.

It certainly looks now that paid apps will come under GST as well, without Rs. 20 lakhs exemption limit.

What worries me even more is, from what I have understood is a service provider providing services outside his state will have to file seperate GST returns for each state on 10th, 15th & 20th of every month. If this is true, then we have dark times ahead for paid apps with potential users from different states in India.
[General Questions and Answers] AmJay1985:
This link https://blog.cleartax.in/gst-bloggers-register/ i found in comments section of article you posted.

ClearTax says the whole scenario for online income like Adsense and GST is unclear and does not believe GST registration is immediately required.

This is getting confusing :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Wow sounds like a lot of what is going on everywhere. There are discussions right now in the states about making people need business license and pat business taxes for apps they put in the Play store.
[General Questions and Answers] gaurav.28ch:
Yes, you are correct. I did not go through this properly.

I now wonder if GST authorities are themselves clear on how to approach this scenario :)

I received response for a query raised to Google & Google itself has no idea whether GSTIN is required or not :

"It is also important to know that due to recent changes in the GST law in India, if you are a developer in India, you will need to determine if you need to charge tax on sales to buyers in India or not.

In this regard, we highly recommend for you to reach out to a qualified tax specialist to determine if you are legally required to obtain GSTIN or not. Hence, if you are required to obtain GSTIN, you must input your GSTIN in your merchant account so that Google can collect taxes for you, and then, we will remit the collected taxes back to you so that you can submit it to the tax authority.

On the other hand, if you do not have a GSTIN number, you would qualify as an unregistered person. If you are not qualified to obtain GSTIN, Google would not be responsible for levy and/or collection of GST on your behalf, as per the GST Law. This means that you won't be collecting taxes from Indian customers. "

What a drag :/
[General Questions and Answers] craterib:
The gst registration requires us to provide a pan id for business, which as an individual app developer, I don't have!

This makes it difficult even if we want to register. I don't think it is currently possible unless we have a registered company under which we sell apps.

Do any of you people have a registered business for publishing your apps?

i just want to let you know guys if you are already registered as developer before GST you are good to go,there is no need to add GSTIN number and money will come to your bank wire transfer

GST and pan is mandatory now for new registrations

GSTIN number is optional
[General Questions and Answers] venkat20390@gmail.com:
Indian government mandates all online businesses irrespective of their net income (Rs.20 lakhs threshold doesn't suit for us). If you are selling apps through Google Play Store or Apple App Store, you need to register for GST. Once you are registered for GST, you should start collecting the tax from your customers and pay it to government. For Google Play and Apple App Store apps, we should show the price which is inclusive of the GST and then pay the GST to government. NO EXCEPTION WHATSO EVER!

Regarding the ads revenue from Google AdMob, We aren't liable to pay GST on the revenue. Since our contracting entity is Google Ireland for AdMob, the revenue is considered as export. We are doing business with just AdMob, not to its advertisers. Since we shouldn't bother about the ads that are shown in India by AdMob advertisers. GST is applicable only to the sales occurs inside India. GST is not applicable to the sales outside of India. Since we are selling the ad-spaces to Google Ireland (AdMob) which is not located in India, the revenue from AdMob is not taxable under GST even if it is more than Rs.20 lakhs.

[General Questions and Answers] siju2012:
Will the payments from Google be on hold till we do this thing?
[General Questions and Answers] PunchUp:
No, they will carry out the payouts as usual. Some people are also suggesting that Google itself will take care of the GST and developers don't have to do anything. But as I said, there is barely any clarity regarding this yet
[General Questions and Answers] siju2012:

[General Questions and Answers] BytesReverser:
no there is no hold i am getting payments as usual i have not registered for GSTIN

but i took GSTIN number for the company ie. FIRM i and my other friends created together which deals with pc softwares which i am not gonna share here.

[General Questions and Answers] BytesReverser:
CA has said GST number is required for freelancing and software developers who deals with foreign clients which is needs to be paid monthly

it has straight 28% tax ,
[General Questions and Answers] venkat20390@gmail.com:
For Indian Developers, Mandatory GST registration part is correct. Since export is considered as I-GST, we need to make the registration. If you are getting money in non-Indian currencies like USD or Euro, then you are not liable to pay GST for that. But, You need to file that revenue under Zero rated slabs. Because all the export revenue comes under Zero rate slab.

If you are getting paid in INR, then you need to pay GST for that. All sort of services like freelancing comes under 18% GST slab and software downloads 18% GST slab. In that case, we need to collect 18% from our clients and pay it to the government.

I am not sure why your CA mentioned 28%. I recommend having second opinion for the service you are providing.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
It could be a tax for doing business in foreign countries. I know the US has a tax for it and it is being talked about with the need for a business license for apps placed on the app store.
[General Questions and Answers] venkat20390@gmail.com:
AFAIK, There is no such extra taxes apart from GST and Income Tax applicable for Google Play apps, Blogging and Freelancing in India. In above all cases, We are not doing any business in other countries. We are doing an export of service in the above all cases. As I told in my earlier post, I strongly recommend you to consult with a tax lawyer who is having a good understanding about the technology related businesses.
[General Questions and Answers] ashishkr:
Hello everyone ...!!

I was also in the same confusion, and left the settings as it is.

I haven't received any payments yet, and wants to have my first transaction.

Payment Threshold I set was before july (no gst was there that time), which is now already reached to 100%.

So will it automatically be transferred or there will be issue, as after passing some days,week I didn't get neither any notification (extra notification other than the old one of gst) nor even received payments?

Is wire transfer to SBI is an issue itself? Or its normal?

How much time it generally takes to transfer after the completion of a set threshold? Can't see any other warning or message at all.

I read here- it's being said that without adding GSTN right now everything is working fine with the payments.

No idea, What's happening?

Any help will be hugely appreciated.

Thankyou :)
[General Questions and Answers] venkat20390@gmail.com:
Once the payment threshold is met, Google will pay you on the next month 15th. Please wait till 15th or 16th of this month and contact Google Support team if you didn't receive any payment notification mail.
[General Questions and Answers] hrishi420:
Now Good news is that if your turnover is less than Rs 20 Lack( from Indian customers only as export( if you receive in foreign currency) comes under zero slab tax bracket) for eCommerce, then you are exempt from GST.http://www.cbec.gov.in/resources//htdocs-cbec/gst/notfctn-65-central-tax-english.pdf { As per 23rd GST Council Meet on 10th November 2017 }.

I am thinking if I shall cancel my preorder after I have seen the video of the gps performance. I hate the lag...and one of the major reason of buying this device is because of the gps + phone + media, where i can syn the audio with the BT in my car.

As far as I know if you are running a custom boot image you won't be able to relock the bootloader on nougat. It's a feature to prevent you soft-bricking your phone, because if you lock it and it detects unauthorised firmware it will refuse to boot.

To relock nougat, simply use the dload method to get a completely stock device and you will see that the bootloader is now relocked.
