[Android Stick & Console Computers General] copticwalad:
While I've been looking for cheaper android tv boxes for iptv for friends, I can say without a doubt Nvidia Shield is by far the best. I've had mine since 2015, and the newer 2017 model is shrunk down same innards. 3gb ram, Nvidia Tegra processor is the best on it. Netflix full 4K HDR support officially. Official real android TV that receives updates all the time (Currently they are intentionally waiting to release Android Oreo on it as launcher is not good yet and are working with Google on that, but it's pretty solid with Marshmallow official androidtv version). Amazon Prime 4K HDR built in (first android tv to get it officially actually).

HDR support on every app Except Youtube... simply because Youtube uses a different Codec VP9 that requires a specific chip that came out after Shield was released. I'm using PerfectPlayer for IPTV on it now and it's really impressive with customized hardware decoding. Kodi runs great on it too when I tried it. Not sure about Showbox but do keep in mind the Google Play Store on official Android TV is limited to Apps that developers specifically support TV interface on. You can easily use your phone or browser to get the APK and install it on the Shield though if you can't find it in store. They call this sideloading and it works great once you figure out how. I personally use Solid Explorer on both Shield and my phone and find apk in the app on my phone, then copy it over the network to my Shield Network Shared folder (officially supported), then open it on Shield and install it.)

Keep in mind Nvidia shield will work with anything bluetooth and it does support Android TV Remote app so you can control and type from your phone. 2 USB 3.0 ports so you can even connect older xbox 360 controllers if you have pc dongle, etc..

Problem I'm seeing with every other Android TV Box is they're all Android Phone version with an added UI to make it look like Android TV, and I really feel like most of them won't get updated and might freeze if you push it with limited RAM and chinese-made processors. Official Android TV FTW. Honorable mention from research not experience - Xiaomi Mi Box, built in Android TV on non samsung/nonlg tvs... especially on Sony Android TV.

I have a very simple box, but very good for streaming MXQ PRO. Very inexpensive - $35. I got it from AMTRADE TV Boxes
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] SdM123:
I've just purchased a new box from China that I'm waiting delivery on. I had help from Robert Joseph of ghostware. He's awesome.

This is the info and specs on it. Like I said it has everything I want and even a little more with the extra hard drive space for which I've ordered a 240gig SSD drive from Amazon.

I got the version with 4 gigs of RAM and 64 gigs of hard drive space. And it's pretty much dirt cheap for one of the best hardware setups on the market. Only about 65 US dollars.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] SdM123:
These are some more of its specs. The gigabit Ethernet port is just as important as everything else. Especially if you have a fast connection like I do. You don't want to be limited to a hundred megabits.

I followed the advice SdM123, and I must say that Sidiwen A95X MAX TV Box Android 8.1 4GB RAM 64GB ROM Amlogic S905X2 Quad Core Dual WIFI 2.4G / 5G Ethernet is one of the best 0 buffering problems. I am satisfied with the purchase and thank SdM123 for pointing it out.

[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] shantusingh:
I have just bought a new moto Z2 play, everything is great but the wi-fi disconnects and reconnects too much when i am in the next room. I had moto z play earlier and it gave me no problems at all.

I have reset the networks, forget wifi and started fresh, restarted phone in safe mode, restarted router and still facing the issue.

Any perfect fix/solution please?!
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] emcom:
What network ? 2.4 ? 5 GHz ?

For me 5GHz is much faster at least, they are both stable but 5GHz is noticeably better.

What AP are you using ?

Last time when I had frequent disconnects on Android device, it was due to incorrectly set security parameters on the WiFi AP.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] luiskp:
IM facing the same issue :(
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] Artim_96:
I have the same problem on latest version. The connection to my 5 GHz network at home is just bad. It's not great on 2.4 GHz too, but 5 GHz is just a desaster. It's slow, often can't transport anything and very often just disconnects and then it takes an eternity to reconnect. Most of the time it won't even show up in WiFi list, but very often it at least still shows up when checking with WiFi connection manager. Then it's still there at about -70 to -60 dB which should be more than enough for a stable connection.

And like the op I can confirm I had absolutely no problems on the first gen Moto Z play.

My router is a "Fritz!Box 6490" by AVM (Not known much outside but everyone that understands a thing about routers they will recommend that company since they make the best non-business routers you can get here) and I don't think there can be any problem with it since the Z2 play is the only device having any problem.

I can't use 2.4 GHz at home which I can understand since that frequency band is just too crowded, but I put my 5 GHz network in the highest band possible, the next WiFi signal is about 7 bands lower. The only signal using the same band is the guest WiFi of the router but there is no traffic at all on it.

The router UI seems to confirm that there are problems. It shows my phone's connection with a signal strength of about -90 dB while the phone itself reports about -65 dB. And while the router UI shows a momentary data speed in the hundreds of Mbit/s for my laptop (which also maxes out at 802.11n, so no ac), it mostly shows one under 10 for my phone, that only changes when I'm doing a speedtest, but not much

It's there any hidden WiFi setting for Android that could be altered or anything to make the connection as robust as it's supposed to be?

Of course, but what I want to achieve is that everyone should express their wishes (Features/Mods/Tweaks) here!:)

Probably that should be done in the ROM threads themselves or up in the General discussion?

[MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION], the WETA developer is very open to reasonable suggestions.

Right now there's only one ROM for open market LG US998 and one for European H93/H930G, unless you count the "alpha" Lineage thread where there's no activity.

[MENTION=219452]whiskeyomega[/mention] had a nice audio-centric ROM for H930/H930G, but he closed it down. He's also removed his XDA account. I hope he comes back, because he's been VERY helpful to us.

He created mods, which unleash the quad DAC.

Do you have an LG V30 which is eligible for bootloader unlock? Or you're just window shopping for a ROM?

I though this Community is here to Share Mods and so on? C:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, but apparently some people don't want other devs to integrate their mods into ROMs. They want them to be standalone mods that users choose to install.

I can see both sides of the issue. One dev for the Moto Quarks codes an advanced kernel, besides coding the LOS "stock" kernel. He forbids other devs from integrating his BHB27 advanced kernel (with more CPU governors, TCP algorithms, hotplugs, etc) into Quark ROMs. They have to use the LOS kernel (which he also maintains). If users want that advanced kernel, they have to download and install it themselves.

Hello,

Does anyone here know if there's a way to force the Nexus 5 to operate Wi-Fi direct on the 5GHz band?

On my Nexus 7 2013, if I'm connected to a 5GHz network when I open the Wi-Fi direct settings, then it will use 5GHz for the Wi-Fi direct, but that doesn't work on the N5.

I tried removing

from both these files:

/data/misc/wifi/p2p_supplicant.conf
/system/etc/wifi/p2p_supplicant_overlay.conf

But it still only creates the network on 2.4....... any ideas?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Locken69:
Hi all, I've got myself a bit of a problem. I bought a second hand G6 (LG-H873 Canada) which is unlocked. It works perfectly fine with my Rogers sim card, but whenever I click on check for update it says "this phone is not registered yet" so I contacted both Rogers and LG and I've basically been told that they can't find my IMEI number. Which makes me think that perhaps the IMEI was changed as a result of the unlocking? Or that the previous owner before the fellow I bought it from changed it for whatever nefarious reasons. Anyways, what my question is, since I can't OTA update or use LG Bridge, if I was to use LGUP and download the latest appropriate KDZ would it mess with the IMEI number? I can live with it as is for now, it's just a few security patches behind, but with Oreo coming shortly, I'd like to upgrade to that obviously. But I don't want to flash a stock KDZ and have it restore a potentially changed IMEI and then I'm left with a phone that no longer works. Also, would it in any way effect the unlock on the device? Any help is appreciated guys, thanks in advance!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ZinX09:
No, from experince I can tell you that flashing stock kdz does not mess with the imei.

I google your problem and it seems like it only affects lg devices.

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

Have you tried LG Bridge? It has a feature where you can update it.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ZinX09:
Btw changing your IMEI is ILLEGAL
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Locken69:
I know it's illegal. But I bought this phone second hand, and its a currently working device. Now I don't know what exactly transpired before it came into my possession, but what I do know is that I can't update it, because the IMEI isnt registered. I've contacted both LG and Rogers, and they've essentially said they can't help me? So I figured once Oreo drops I could at least flash it myself, but I'm scared because what if something ****s it up, and I suddenly have a useless phone?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ZinX09:
Sorry to say but you might of just got scammed. Again you can try to use LG Bridge or flash a custom rom to update but be careful because you might restore the original IMEI.

Wishing you the best of luck.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Locken69:
I've tried LG Bridge, it says the same thing, that the IMEI isnt registered, so it won't let me update it.

So you're saying though, that if I flashed the stock KDZ with LGUP, it could in fact mess with the IMEI then?

I was reading on a few other forums, that some people had the same issue, and that once they talked to to tier 2 with LG customer care, they ended up just registering the IMEI because those devices had been apparently "giveaways" or something that had never been registered in LG's system. What's the likelihood of that?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ZinX09:
Your chances are slim because lg customer service is the worst but you might of well give it a shot. Do you have a online receipt you can give to them for proof. That's maybe could help your odds.

Again, wishing you the best of luck.?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Locken69:
Unfortunately no, I don't. I bought it in a pinch on Kijiji, because my Pixel bit the dust, and the guy I bought it from said he bought it in eBay last year, so he doesn't have anything about it either.

It works, and that's basically all that matters, but I really want the upgrade to Oreo whenever it comes. Otherwise I'm waiting till October to use my upgrade for the inevitable Pixel 3.

Thanks for your help, will probably just wait for stock Oreo KDZ and then try flashing with LGUP, then take it from there.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ZinX09:
Okay,it was a pleasure helping you and hope you get android Oreo. ??
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] kimitza:
Try to use uppercut or lg up to flash latest stock kdz for your phone.Anyway, update via OTA kinda sucks. Not only it takes for ever, but eventually you'll have to make a reset. So why bother, just flash with uppercut or lg up
