Hi guys,
I'm getting mad with my tablet. I have installed every ROM i could possibly install on my tablet, just to see if the problem went away, and it just won't! No game from Gameloft works on my tablet, it blinks on a weird way on many apps that require some use of 3D effects, and in many times, the apps continues to run but my video freezes and stops working, tough the rest of the tablet continues to work fine.
I don't know what else I can do. Is it something I did or something related to the hardware?

i have the same problem i was scared it was gpu related but it hasnt happened yet with randomblames jellytime i deleted everything so i could get it as much stock as possible did all the wipes twice even reformatted storage seemed to have work for now i kept getting a weird texture glitch were it would freeze up blink then force quite to homescreen wpuldnt lag at all to let me know either was just random.
EDIT: just happened i have no idea i guess it must be hardware related "shrugs"

Me also, was using Firmware 0202 and he was Rooted.
Rooted. Latest firmware. I've only had freezing when playing The Walking Dead. I have not experienced it with anything else yet. I use MOJO for 1080 movies, streaming, playing android games and emulation, surfing etc. without any issues with those.
I got bad freezing yesterday tried different things fans and stuff was getting freezing while streaming on XBMC and downloading from the play store so today I decided to have no fans disconnected the Ethernet cable just used WiFi been streaming all day and have downloaded big games from the play store and it hasn't crashed yet

I heard about this mounts ago, so why have Mad Catz not fixed this BIG problem yet with a Firmware update???
I think because it's a hardware problem, why else would they not fix that problem with a Firmware?
Rooted latest firmware.
My mojo also locks up while playing Walking Dead and pauses/freezes while downloading from play/app store!
Wifi seemed better for a while but eventually got pauses/freezing on wifi as well.
I have had a support ticket open with Mad Catz for a while now and so far they are blaming it on software
and keep asking me to reset/clear data.
I have asked for a replacement unit to prove it is not hardware but have had no response!
I have two Mojo units and have never experienced any type of freezing issue such as you gentleman (or gentlewoman) speak of. Perhaps you received a bad batch?
So I have recently been experiencing more freezing. First only noticed it when I played Walking Dead as stated above. After a couple of episodes of freezing on that game I just uninstalled it and moved on. More recently after using the MOJO for streaming shows from apps I've been getting the freezing and it will make a humming noise when it freezes. I have noticed this both on a wired connection and wireless. I've also experienced the screen going black while playing a video, but you can still hear the audio. This requires exiting to the home screen and going back into the app and starting the video again from where it left off. Ticket submitted today. I like my MOJO, but this is not acceptable.
Have u still had the Ethernet lead in when u where on WiFi pull the lead out completely mine freezes when the lead is in but I don't get any freezing when I keep the lead out and just use WiFi give it a go
I discovered that my MOJO was freezing in Walking Dead due to the "GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys" app! If I do not hide the softkeys it doesn't seem to freeze. I have tried "full!screen" (I don't like to see the softkeys while playing games) and it hasn't frozen/locked yet. The only problem I still have is the pausing/freezing when downloading from play/app store. It is better on wifi but not perfect. I prefer wired!

I have the lead out and have still had the freezing. Everything works great on my Wi-Fi right up until a freezing episode occurs during streaming.

I also thought it may have been the GMD Auto hide so I uninstalled it and installed "fullscreen". I have had freezing with fullscreen installed as well. It seems to happen randomly during streaming. I'm going to keep testing things out and will probably try The Walking Dead again. I may try a factory reset at some point after I finish playing GTA III if it's still occurring That game has run perfectly though.

Another app that requires root and does modification to the default user interface. Guys, be careful regarding apps that require root access. If the mojo is not on the supported list for any of these types of apps that actually modify the interface, I would say to proceed with caution. Root is a powerful thing.

Agreed my wifi is dead locks webpages if it's on with ethernet in,i guess it's a conflict of the m.o.j.o probably saying wifi ethernet wifi ethernet wifi ethernet forever and can't decide so just [email protected] up in a timeout (hangs).Not tried on wifi only yet though must have a go at that,possibly could be the update messed the wifi up on root or on both none root and rooted devices?
I haven't had any recent freezing issues during streaming. I have gone back to ethernet with wifi turned off and seems to be doing ok. I unplug the unit every couple of days.
I have one really weird issue. It only occurs when streaming video, such as from HBOGO, never when playing games. I will be watching and the video will go black. There is still volume, but no video. Hitting the volume button on my tv remote brings the video back immediately. I only found out the fix by trial and error as the MOJO controller won't bring back the video, only the TV remote. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? HDMI issue? It happens randomly and will happen multiple times during a show. Sometimes within a few minutes of starting a show, other times it takes a bit before it will do it.
no more freezing
Just like to report that I have now been going a few weeks now and have had no freezing what soever since I stopped using Ethernet really glad now I didn't send mine of working like a charm

Your not using a mouse by any chance?Or leaving the mouse cursor on the top black area of the screen,as on my unit if i leave the mouse cursor on the top bar from time to time i get intermitent flickering (black screen/normal screen) or the screen just goes solid black.So i just place the cursor anywhere but when i am using the unit and it does not happen then.

Yeah, I get that too, only on at the top and it's only a few pixels (hoz lines), just blanks out the display.
not sure what's going on there, just figured it's the TV which has overscan issues anyway.

Re the jetson tk1 deveoper board, I don't see why it can't run android, I'm sure someone will have a androind rom for it.
got my Nexus Player tonight and, while there are definitely things that need improvement, overall it's pretty good.. I was watching netflix with no issue for about 3 hours, then went to get some dinner.. Came back and it was having issues connecting.. error NW-4-8. signed out and back in and it was able to connect, but now, any time that I start to stream something on netflix, it crashes the entire unit.. my tv starts flashing "No Signal" and i have to unplug/replug it.. This happening to anyone else? I haven't tried reseting it to defaults yet, and will try that if it's not fixed tomorrow, but wanted to see if anyone else was having the same issues..
Haven't seen that myself but try clearing cache/data for netflix before resetting the whole box.
Sent from my Nexus 5
ill give that a try.. from the apps menu, right? i dont think i've seen any way to do that from within netflix.

Settings (bottom left icon, looks like a gear)-> Apps, find netflix, clear data.
You'll need to resign in, ect. I had to do this the other night on one of my ADT-1's because I had a similar error, and it wouldn't connect to netflix.
ok, so after doing this, it worked for awhile.. now i can't play anything on netflix at all.. just gives a blank screen when i select something to watch.. the netflix app is crap on the player, unfortunatly.. hulu/plex/ted... all others are working with no issues, but netflix is extremely inconsistant.. such a disappointment for an app that should have been ready at launch.

Same! Netflix works great here.
Both Plex and Netflix have plenty of bugs on Android TV. I'm speaking from my experience on the ADT-1. Neither company has been actively fixing bugs. .. Plex has their forums, but the devs just ignore you.. and update **** no one cares about, like sync, or previews.

I dont mind a bug or two here and there, plex at least works, just like hulu and all the other basic apps from large streaming companies.. But netflix just freaking crashes the unit.. Its fully unusable with no rhyme or reason why. I've uninstalled, signed in and out, tried both 5ghz and normal networks, reset and started over even and its just not working.. And without root, i cant even install logcat to track down the issue in a more logical manner. Whata even more frustrating is that i seem to be alone wih the issue.. The only thing ive noticed is that when netflix tries to load a video, it'll count 1-6%, jump to 63%, then to 99%, then goes to a black screen. Then my screen flashes no signal. If i hit the home button a few times, itll come back to the home screen, but nothing changes... Anyone elae with ideas, pkease feel free to chime in. Im fairly comfortable with adb abd faatboot if that helps..

I have this problem as well, trying to watch anything on Netflix turns the video signal off to the TV, pressing back takes me back and turns the display back on. I'm using an older viewsonic TV so I tried moving the player to a newer Samsung tv and it works fine. So I'm just going to go ahead and point my finger at those DRM demons and blame them based solely on conjecture and sit and wait hoping for a patch or fix. (Netflix plays on the viewsonic fine with Roku and Chromecast, just not the nexus player.)
I'm having this same issue. Is there any resolution yet? The TV will flicker about an HDMI-CEC failure when this occurs, so I'm curious if there's a connection there.
Nope -- no connection. I disabled HDMI-CEC on the television, and Netflix still pretends to load the video and then displays a black screen. Tried clearing the Netflix cache and data, but this does nothing to solve the problem. Netflix worked fine for two days, and now this.
Had the same thing happen with the movie play store movie I rented. . Video would go black and only hear the audio. . I can unplug the hdmi from the tv and plug it back in and it will work for awhile. .. called Google they tried to blame it on the movie app.. and of course while on the phone it works fine. . Call google everyone. .
so, got root tonight and was able to grab a logcat.. looks like it's the HDCP authentication thats breaking, like we all thought.. here's the link to the log info, in case anyone smarter than me wants to take a look and maybe find something helpful (google docs link)::

FWIW, I went ahead and swapped out HDMI cables and the new one, so far, is working great with Netflix & Nexus Player.

Yeah -- it doesn't make any sense to me either. I didn't have issues with any of the other apps when I was having the problem with Netflix going black. Fortunately, I haven't had the Netflix problem since changing the HDMI cable several days ago <knock wood>.
Per my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/general/netflix-buffering-issues-t2961438, reinstalling NetFlix addressed NetFlix failing to work at all.
since I started this post, I wanted to post an update.. I never was able to get netflix to work in my setup.. I have my tv, hooked into a monoprice HDMI switch, then into the NP.. no other apps were having any issues at all except for the netflix app.. because netflix is 99% of what I would do on the player right now (seeing as there's very little development for it currently), I've returned my NP. I may grab another one at a later date, if development picks up, but right now, that's a device killing issue for me. hopefully nobody else runs into this issue.
Hello,
I am getting a 1 second sound delay effecting menu and all apps after the device is left on over night, tried factory resetting and with and without sleep mode. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have a solution for me?
Thanks
I was going to say the same thing. I have random one second lag in YouTube (rarely), BSDroid (always), but not in Plex or Kodi. The problem is fixed by pausing in YouTube and jumping forward on BSDroid. It's a big pain as these issues don't affect the chrome cast I have on the same TV and network.
I don't have to wait, it's pretty much out of the box. I have tried stock 5.1.1, rooted 5.1.1, CM12 nightlies, and all AOSP roms available. I feel like it's an issue with the Google Cast app? I'll try 5.1 and see if the situation changes tomorrow.
I haven't even bothered rooting mine yet, as this issue goes right down into the system. Even moving around the menu their is a 1 second delay in the sound. Only goes away with a reboot.
I think I may have found my issue, it seems that when I put the TV into PC mode to fix the overscan I get this sound lag after the TV turns off and then back on again. still troubleshooting it though.
Waited a while to get some new nightlies out and still the same problem. Tried 3 different TVs, all casted audio is delayed and has to be reset. Guess i have a junker now
Using "Netflix for Android TV 2.2 build 636" from the Sony TV APKs on my nexus player
Keep getting the error
"It looks like Netflix has been deactivated on this device"
have to re-login very frequently
Any ideas on how to solve this?
2.2.1 build 643 is on the Play Store, I've only had one forced reactivation with it so far.
But yeah Netflix for Android TV is quite buggy - a lazy port by the looks of it.
I got this Bs twice tonight.. like seriously? wtf is going on
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 using Tapatalk.
Just got off the phone with netflix
had this happening, literally after every episode tonight. after troubleshooting everything at my house, thoroughly, I spent about an hour going through things with netflix support. apparently this is a known issue and for now there was no resolution. he said give it some time and check back if not resolved after having been escalated to tier 3 support.
Yeah it was quite bad, I noticed it seemed to be triggered consistently just after autoplaying a new episode - always within the first 30 seconds - but not after manually picking the next ep.
yup same here. honestly, I bought my dad a fire TV and myself a nexus and this nexus is garbage compared to the fire TV.. especially since I'm a prime member. I might just buy a fire TV and sell this pos.

Keep getting it too.
Really annoying.
Thought it was because I'm using it through a VPN / UnoTelly DNS but seems like it's just their terrible, terrible app being terrible.

I have a Nexus Player and started getting this about 48 hours ago. It's annoying. Thanks for the workaround... I'll have to try that! I'm sick and tired of having to login after ever darn episode!!!
I do have the same problem, but i use dns4me.
on the help center (for xbox), it says that you should put dns settings on automatic.
Same issue here. Could it be related to IPv6 DNS? I have IPv6 6to4 turned on in my router and the IPv6 DNS is visible in the settings but no IPv6 adress is assigned for the device in the settings. Also in contact with the Netflix support here in Sweden, they called to US and they will investigate an call back in a few days. What ROM do you others guys use? Stock? I installed CM to be able to mount USB for Kodi.
This just started happening to me last night as well and now I have to keep logging in after every show. Time to hit them up....
I'm in the same boat guys.
I guess the bright side is I finally got around to installing cyanogenmod which of course didn't fix the issue.
I'm having this issues since a week or two. It must be a problem on the apps side only. More and more Playstore reviews and forum posts are coming up about this.
In a netflix support chat, they said that they are already working on a fix for this ... I hope so, because that's really lame.
Just came by to say the same thing is happening to me. Spent an hour on the phone with Netflix tech support, tried everything on my end, still having the same problem. Hope enough people call tech support so they know this is an issue.
i dont watch netflix often on the player, but i have this build and just fired it up and ran a few random videos. i had no errors or forced reactivations. it recognized me from the last time i ran it so it went right to the last played video i just played on my htpc...

The bug is triggered when autoplaying episodes, not when manually selecting them.

Same thing, asus nexus player
Got the exact same thing with my Asus Nexus Player.. 2.2.1 Build 643 of netflix app..
Need to reactivate every time it autoplays i to the next episode.. Manual select seems to br the workaround atm, tho quite annoying
I also have this problem, latest netflix on nexus plater stock rom
Me too. Netflix support just ask to sign out of app, power down the nexus player for a minute, power it back up, sign back in. Seemed to fix it, but then it was doing it again as soon as I actually watched an episode rather than just fast forwarding to the last 30 seconds.
Tried a clearing of the app data, didn't help. Tried a factory reset, that didn't help either.
longer explanation...
ok besides the fact the original episodes of mission impossible and knight rider are no longer on the site (expired licenses), i played one full episode of star trek, the original series (these shows are great background flicks whilst one is doing other things) and i was not forced out or required to sign off/on.
a bit of an aside, i have an ipad i have on my elliptical that i view whilst exercising, and when i would switch from that to the htpc i would sometimes have to re-log back in on the htpc. the error would say something to the effect of i cant be logged onto two different places at the same time, even though both devices (the htpc and ipad) are on the same network and subnet. i just figured the apple app has a different way of signing in. this error just started happening a couple weeks ago (i was using the ipad for months prior), so now i just turn on the television that the htpc is on and just view that whilst working on the machine and not had to re-log into the htpc (which is just the website netflix.com).
