Hello,
I currently work for a market research company using Nexus 7 tablets to conduct surveys and questionnaires. We have a DP team which develop the apps for surveys which we put out on Google Play or can add manually. We currently have over 60 Nexus 7 tablets (2012 model) running Android 4.4.2. The current workaround securing the tablet is using Go Launcher, App Lock and WiFi Manager using a restricted account with Encryption on each device. This set up fine... however the two accounts setup is a hassle for the end users who are not technically proficient or use tablets or smartphones on a daily basis, so we need to down it one account. Also secondly, when we have new surveys and push them out, it does download to the main admin account of the tablet, but the hassle of, making it active for the restricted account is what the issue is because giving the end user access the main account defeats the whole purpose of what we are trying to do.
So I have managed to get hold of 2 tablets for testing, unlocked and rooted them both using the handy Nexus Root Toolkit. On one device, I created a main account, with Nova Launcher (instead of go launcher), App Lock and WiFi Manager. I have not put any encryption yet that will come after. I then created a nandroid backup of the tablet in which I restored it to the other device. The restore was perfect and at this point I thought that it's managed what we needed to do. However, on the two devices, we have two separate Google accounts, we have done this to spread out the devices across different accounts due to the amount of tablets we have. Upon pushing out an app to one device from Google Play, it would for some strange reason try to download on the other device and throw up an error message saying "could not download", even though the tablets have two separate google play accounts.
I made another nandroid back up, but this time without any google play/account information stored on the tablet but this to no avail did help. I even tried changing the device ID from Titanium Backup on both devices and still did not work and Google Play seems to think both devices are the same.
So my question is, what do I need to do in order to remove any Google Play info from the devices so google play doesn't recognize them both as the same device.
Everything else works perfectly fine so far and still are testing this out.
Thank you in advance
Irfan
Any one got a solution for this?
I went to Google I/O 2014, and got the LG G watch. I also got an email with links to enable my google account as a tester of a few apps (google play services, and a couple of others) (a requirement to get the watch working immediately.)
Here's part of the emailSpeaking of 'what's next', you may recall that we've secured a watch powered by Android Wear for you to take home. You can choose either the LG G Watch or the Samsung Gear Live. To get the most out of your Android Wear device during Google I/O, follow these instructions to get the latest Google Play services and supporting apps for your devices running Android 4.3 or higher. Starting tomorrow, you'll be able to download the SDK and begin exploring here. Please pick up your watch from the Device Pickup stand on the 1st floor between 7am-5pm tomorrow, June 26.
Everything worked fine, but now I've seen Google Play Services crash on my phone several times over the last week, so I want to get off the beta/test track.
Problem is, the link in the email now just points to regular Wear documentation. Anyone know how I can see the list of apps I'm beta on, and how to change it?
I've googled everything I can think of.
Thanks in advance.
I have multiple Nvidia Shield TV's (with Chromecast built-in). When I set them up initially, they both were there and showing up with the menu that allowed me to disable/enable personal results. I can see the televisions in other menus within the google home app just now the one under "more settings". I purchased a few nest cams and could not use their full functionality. When I searched Google's help, I found out that the reason why the nest cameras did not work was because I had already set up an account with nest thermostats. I had to unlink then relink the account and that's when I lost the TV's.
The reason why I need the TV's to show up in the menu is because when I initially set up the television I ran through the set up. By default, personal results are on and I would like to turn it off. If the TV's don't show up in the "more settings>device" section then there is no where else I can go to turn it off. I've tried a number of things:
1. Factory reset cell phone, camera's, thermostats, and nividia shield (and everything that was smart home related in the google home app) and started from scratch.
2. I went into my google dashboard and deleted all data related not only to the nvidia shield but all devices linked to my account.
3. Renamed the TV's to see if they would pop up and be recognized as something new or different since they had a new name
4. Logged in with another google account (which gives only partial features since it's split across two accounts)
5. Moving all components onto a different network (guest network)
Again, the reason why I want this is because my personal results are showing up on the televisions no matter who gives the command. The Android TV's do not work like the Google Home units where they can distinguish between your voice and offer up personalized results. The TV's work only with 1 account. I do not want someone saying, "what's on my schedule for tomorrow" or " show me pictures of Tiffany " and it accesses my account and post it up on the television.
Please help. Thank you.
P.S. and yes I contacted Google's support, online, over the phone, and even through chat via web and pixel 2 xl. It was useless. Not one of them really understood what I was explaining and all they did was read verbatim exactly what the help file said that they pulled up, which had nothing to do with my issue.
P.P.S. I've been trying to find the solution for the past 15 days, the hardest part is to find online help because when you do a search for "Google Home app" or "home app" it gives you results on the Google Home unit or Apple nonsense about their home app.
Welcome to the most extensive AT&T TV (formerly DirecTV Now) and Fire TV repository thread.
Over the last few years I have gathered various AT&T/DirecTV Now apks and other Fire TV apks.
My plan is to continue uploading the latest AT&T TV apk files and various Fire TV apps until they are officially available on the Shield TV.
Feel free to comment and request any Fire TV apks that I have not uploaded , I'll do my best to keep the apps up-to-date.
Since it's time consuming I may not update the less popular apps frequently. Unless someone requests it.
I want to thank anyone that contributed to the previous thread. Please continue to post any questions or issues you guys have .

AT&T TV Android TV/ Fire TV FAQ
Which devices does this app work on?
Shield TV 2015/2017 Pro and non Pro versions, Nexus Player , Mi Box and other Android TV boxes .
Also confirmed that the app works on Sony Bravia Android TVs 2017 and up models, anything above version 2.0.13.05128 will require location spoofing on Sony TVs. Continue reading if you have questions about location spoofing
Q: Which version do I install modified unmodified or High Bitrate?
You can install either one, but they cannot be installed simultaneously.
Tip: if you have any other apps installed that require the amazon app store to be side loaded, use the _amazon version.
The higher bit rate apk has been tested to work on shield TV 2015/2017, it most likely works on other devices as well but i have not confirmed . If you have a low end device and limited bandwidth please use the DTV Now_Amazon apk. Also see .txt file in Higher Bitrate folder if you have questions.
I want to thank Veeco for discovering this mod. And IcerJo for beta testing the highbit apks for me .
and for additional bitrate testing done by IcerJo see post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78761171&postcount=372
Q : Why do you have a modified version, how is it different?
The modified version does not require the amazon app store to be installed. All that is removed from the modified version is the amazon app store verification.
No longer updated after version 2.0.15.02146 (Please see .txt file in the modified folder or read original post for more details)
Q: Cant log into the App getting Error 201
Check the email or password you are inputting. There may be an extra space in the email field.
For example: [email protected] com as opposed to [email protected]

Q: DirecTV Now Not Authorized Error Message
1. Remove Amazon App Store (if installed)
2. Clear Data and Cache
3. Settings -> Apps -> DirecTV Now -> Clear Data/Cache
4. Make sure you have the permissions set for the DirecTV app.
5. Settings -> Apps -> DirecTV Now -> Permissions -> Location (ON)
Credit and Thanks for this tip goes to Johnny14o
Q: I have no picture, sound or get a error 40 message. What should I do?
Some users have reported that running the modified version results in video and audio issues. If you are having such issues with the modified version, try the unmodified version.
Q: Live TV has no sound, but on demand works.
Check the audio settings from the shield settings menu, users have reported that turning of surround sound or adjusting other sound options helped them resolve the issue
Q: Application can’t determine location or won’t play any channel (Gray Screen).
Enable both storage and location permissions and also under location select use Wi-Fi to estimate location
Sometimes it may take multiple toggles for the new permissions to register and a device restart maybe required.
Or you may need to spoof your location if using other Android TV devices such as Sony X900e , MiBox, etc. See last below for Spoofing instructions
Q: How to spoof your Location?
See method#2 ,if you don’t want to purchase app cloner
Download app cloner and see video for steps.
. Credit goes to whiteboi-hakz for the video!
Location Spoofing is also necessary if you wan to run version 2.0.14.03143 and up on your Sony Android TVs .
Or if your Android TV device, fails to find your location even after you enabled the necessary settings and restarted the device multiple times. Once location is spoofed you do not need to re enable location and storage permissions.
Video on me using version .02146 on my Sony X900e with spoofed location.
App Cloner, is no longer available on the app store , see link to download. https://plus.google.com/communities/110152846393129525806
Premium features must be unlocked for location spoofing to work . Sideload the App Cloner apk and to purchase premium features search "App Cloner " on Google Play Store. Cost is $3.99
If you get cloned app is device locked message , re clone app but enable device lock and key in device # to do this go to
clone settings >launching options>device lock> put in the device #
Method #2
Credit and Thanks goes to marc.ientilucci
1. Enable Developer mode
2. Install Fake GPS ( link https://apkpure.com/fake-gps/com.blogspot.newapphorizons.fakegps )
3. In developer settings, choose the Fake GPS for mock locations
4. You will need the coordinates, so head over to google maps on your phone / pc and get the latitude and longitude of where you'd like to set your location.
5. Open the Fake GPS app and search - plug in your coordinates.
6. Click start

I don't see why it wouldn't and I'm sure if a update is required they will release it . But I'll upload it either way lol
Somewhat off topic but I also read a article recently that they were going to start beta testing again for VR . If they do we got to jump on it[emoji23]
Original article
https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/directv-now-will-let-you-watch-four-concurrent-live-streams-in-2019/
"AT&T has not commented on plans to bring this new feature to other devices, but AT&T typically brings new features to most of the devices they support. Hopefully this new DIRECTV NOW beta will not be limited to AR headsets."

No, I just made sure permissions were set first and location (via WiFi) was turned on.
Would you be so kind as to post the Fire TV version of Adult Swim? Would appreciate it greatly.

Here is the local channel search on their site. I would pick a popular city thats Eastern time , Central or Pacific. And go from there.
If you look through the other directv thread they have some apps that apparently work at spoofing the location. The posts were within the last month or two. I'll have to look at the thread over the weekend to see what apps worked

Ok found the best method for everyone to get around the location issues
Step 1 download app cloner
Step 2 put the dtv now apk on your phone (don't install it just put it on sd card)
Step 3 open app cloner and find your dtv now apk click it and under the privacy settings go-to spoof location
Set it where you want hit CLONE
Done! It won't be a issue ever again even with the future updates !
P.s app cloner is a paid app I suggest everyone buy it for future releases of dtv now

Hi
A friend gave me a Amazon HD Fire 10 (2021) tablet and asked me to "Put Google on it."
With a little luck and a bit of Google-ing, I managed to get Chrome, Youtube, Gmail, etc. working but I have an issue with Google Maps in that it works fine while online connected via Wi-Fi - It finds my location and lets me navigate, I can even download maps for offline use....but as soon as I turn off Wi-Fi, Maps looses my location and I can only view the "steps" needed to get from "Point A" to "Point B".
Any help would be much appreciated.
PS: Fire OS version is 7.3.2.4
So as it turns out, Amazon Fire tablets doesn't have built in GPS, or not according to gsmarena.
There is an article somewhere on XDA that mentions the contrary but to my understanding, the built-in GPS isn't activated out of the factory. (I just can't find the article right at this moment.)
I ended up using this app from the Google Play store to share my phone's GPS location to the tablet via Bluetooth.
Obviously, you need to mod the tablet and install Google Play for this to work. I found that the Fire Toolbox method didn't work for me spesifically...so I used this guide instead.
Well, I hope someone finds this useful!
Cheers.

can you explain it to me in further detail, how to do this? i have fire hd 10 plus, I installed your apps, but it doesn't work. How do I do it? do I need to also install the same apps on my tablet / client side or only from the smartphone / server side?

thanks bro... I spent like 12 hours researching to no avail, also i am kinda new on this forum but looking for this specific information makes me want to kill myself in videogames. Googling doesn't help either because 99.9% informations out there are just trash and they don't exactly deal with this specific issue. I am just getting frustrated almost wanting to throw this tablet to the trashcan already because literally that's all i want to have and I can't do it.
There's some guys on youtube that succeed having their fire tablet doing gps navigation but it is either the old version or they just gloated they managed to do it without telling us anything how to do it.
This is just mind boggling to me, why the hell amazon not implementing gps system on tablet? sorry I am ranting cause I am truly desperate and don't know what to do anymore.

I know how you feel. I also battled with this for a while.
I promised you a guide with screenshots....the problem is I cannot replicate the results using 2 android phones that have built-in GPS
The best I can do is guide you through download / setup of the app from memory:
1) Open Google Maps on the Fire HD 10 while it is connected to Wi-Fi and download an offline map of your area. Turn off Wi-Fi afterwards.
2) Download the GPS Connector app to the Fire HD 10
3) Enable "Developer Options" on the Fire HD 10 and set "Mock Location App" to the "GPS Connector" app (This step is pretty much the same on all Android phones or tablets -
Open Settings
Open Device Options
Tap the Serial number seven times
Swipe to the bottom of the Device Options menu
Developer Options should be the last item
...from here, open "Developer Options" and scroll down a ways until you see something along the lines of "Select mock location app.)
4) Pair your phone** (the device that will be sending the GPS signal) to your Fire HD 10 via Bluetooth
5) Open the "GPS Connector" app on the Fire HD 10 and click the "Settings" cog-icon
6) Click on "GNSS Device" and then click "Bluetooth"
7) On the next screen, select "Paired device" and then select your phone's ** Bluetooth name
8) Backtrack one screen and turn on "Set GPS Mock Location"
9) Now, turn on your phone's** location
10) Go back to the main screen of "GPS Connector" and you should see the time as well as Latitude and Longitude coordinates on the screen
11) Minimize the "GPS Connector" app into your "Recent Apps" and open Google Maps
12) If you don't have location right away, click the small circular button with the red "?" inside, this should prompt you to turn on "Location Services".
If all goes well, you should now be able to navigate offline within the area of the map that you downloaded. For example, from your house to the local grocery store.
If you have an unlimited data plan on your phone, you could also setup your android phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot and tether it to the Fire HD 10.
Let me know if you manage, if not I will try and find another app to do the GPS sharing.
Good luck
