"Official" German Amazon Fire TV (AFTV) Thread - Fire TV General

Hi,
I'm one of the lucky guys which had ordered during the first day so maybe they will really deliver at 25. September...
Because of the new unrootable '51.1.2.0_user_512073320' FW I hope they will deliver it with an older preinstalled FW.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/ota-update-51-1-2-0-t2847751)
AFTVnews.com wrote a really good guide to avoid to update to the new '51.1.2.0_user_512073320' FW
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-setup-a-new-fire-tv-without-blocking-root
He also list all the domains requested by his Fire TV.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54964983&postcount=92
Because I have no idea if it is identical at the German AFTV I will connect the AFTV via Ethernet (crossover-cable) to a notebook running wireshark and/or HTTPNetworkSniffer to monitor the first action ...
Greetings

I ordered mine on Saturday Evening and it was stating before January 1st 2015 already. What I am wondering is does the menu offer language change as I dont really understand German....

I ordered mine 1 day after the presentation. I hope it will be here on 25th this month.
And it would be so nice if I could root this box to watch movies from my HDD or USB stick with MX movie player.

Yes, but forum language is english for German we have the Android forum every german knows but they are not creating a fire tv forum also after asking....
I ordered my AFTV on the 7.Sept. at 9 o clock in the morning and the estimatet delivery will not be before 1st january :crying:
Hopefully there will be a way to root the new firmware or downgrade etc.

Ordered mine on the 5th of September and didn´t get any info about shipping dates. Only "when its available". Well at least there will be time to see if its rootable until then.

I´m pretty sure you can change it to English right away

I ordered mine on the Sunday with prime promo, shipment should have occurred on 25. This month, I think.
But anyway...
After reading about the disadvantages of the box (especially the unsure rootability and no way of mounting a hdd without root) I have cancelled my order.
Now I am waiting for a Android TV box from China. There is a really good competition out there.
But the hot price of 49€ won't be touched by them...
Also some boxes are still more expensive than 99€...
But I will have no problems with rooting etc. since they are often rooted from factory (some factory's even searching guys to create custom roms for it, for example the tbr box tronsmart orion r28, or the openhour).
I think I will live with the higher price and freedom of doing whatever I want with that box. Since I am not want to use prime more than the free month.
(Hoping xda will adopt these on their "family")

Just pick one of the supported boxes from Freaktab.com.
Like the Beelink R89. They have a great support Community and are more Powerfull then the Fire TV (40.000 Antutu Points vs. 25.000).

I was thinking about the tronsmart Vega s28 (or similar, amlogic s802-H soc)
But I wait for the already mentioned Tronsmart Orion.
I also have a eye on a few threads over at freaktab about the rockchip soc and some boxes/sticks to have a constant flow of informations about these boxes.
But thanks ?

While the Amlogic S802 is awesome the RK3288 beats it (Not so much by Antutu 30.000 vs. 40.000) but the GPU the S802 uses is still the Mali 400 (The 8-Core Variant). This leads to higher power consumption and the S802 is allways pretty warm/hot. The RK3288 has the new Mali which is great for future games ect. and runs cooler.
You can also see this by looking at the power supply...most of the S802 Boxes have a 3A or 3.5A Power supply while the RK3288 ones have 2A or 2.5A.

I just updated yesterday my US FireTV.
Menus are German, Timezone is correct now. And the best part: German Amazon Prime works.
I lost root, but i dont need it anymore - XBMC still running

I think, if need for 'German Amazon Prime', they will deliver it with 51.1.3.0...
But because I need root much more then 'German Amazon Prime' (e.g. performance tests, USB drive (e.g. game folder)...) I'm not really happy about this...
We will see...

Oh, looks like I misread your post. Yes, if you buy the German one new and it comes with 51.1.3.0 then you'll be screwed. If you already have one or buy a US one with an earlier version and then update with a prerooted 51.1.3.0, then you'd be fine.

I ordered my German Fire TV on just the 2nd day in the morning. I've got an Email with delivery notice of the 8th of October. So I guess it's not that bad like it was told from Amazon.
But I'm a bit unsure now, because I need some kind of Vpn for it (at least for YouTube and sometimes for Netflix) and if I would change in the Rooter my other devices won't work.

It is official.
I will get my fire tv from amazon germany on 25.09.
I talked with amazon:
Vielen Dank für das freundliche Gespräch.
Es freut mich das wir Ihr Anliegen kurz per Chat miteinander besprechen konnten.
Gern habe ich für Sie recherchiert und in Erfahrung bringen können dass die Software Version auf dem Fire TV 51.1.3.0 ist.
Sollten Sie noch einmal persönlich mit uns sprechen wollen, darf ich Sie bitten uns kurz anzurufen?

16GB Athena coming soon

...apparently...
http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=4961
This are realy briliant news!
Im 100% sure now, that we will have Wm 6.1 for our x7500´s.
That also excited me .. although I'm a little in the dark about what the advantages of 6.1 are? Is it just an update, or does it have a any new features/things to actually get excited about?
Please do away with those magnets and addin a microphone. Also, I want them to use the flash disk instead of HDD
I have no doubt that will be WM7 for Athena)

Hope here are some german devs, who will share a german WM6.1 and then a german WM7
OOO man i hope that the 16gb version will be flash or something solidstate and that it will be a drop in replacement so that we will be able to get in on that sweet action.

No,sorry.
Its HDD again:
T-Mobile Germany today unveiled the T-Mobile MDA Ameo 16 GB, the follower of the earlier released MDA Ameo, T-Mobile's version of the HTC Athena.
While the device design stays the same - more or less (except some keyboard rearrangements as T-Mobile Germany said in its press release) - the Ameo 16 GB gets a doubled hard disk drive, featuring 16 GB, compared to the original MDA Ameo/HTC Athena and T-Mobile Germany accidentally confirmed that the new Ameo will run with Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional:
I have red the offical prerelease of the news and I have found intresting sentence:
das Betriebssystem Office Mobile 6.1, das Office 2007-Dateiformate unterstützt. Nutzer können Word- und Excel-Dateien aus Office 2007 am Ameo 16 GB betrachten und bearbeiten. Weitere Merkmale von Office Mobile 6.1 sind die Möglichkeit, Dateien aus ZIP-Ordnern zu öffnen und anzuzeigen, und die verbesserte Darstellung von Diagrammen in Excel Mobile.

First TM say: OS Office Mobile 6.1
Then only Office 6.1
Does TMob maybe mean the 16gb Ameo will have WM6 with Office 6.1?
http://www.t-mobile.de/unternehmen/presse/pressemitteilungen/1,12219,19839-_,00.html
bye
Nice to know we'll have the 6.1 rom to play with soon enough. (Or rather .. I'll let others play with it and add all the goodies into some custom ROM - rom cooking is well beyond me, I wouldn't know where to start, despite an interest to )
An updated version of the keyboard was mentioned too - that isthe key layout is redesigned, but still nothing of it being backlit or anything else terribly fancy
The hard drive upgrade sounds nice, but a bit o a bugger for those of use with the current model, as far as I'm aware, it's not the easiest thing to get ahold of the current hitachi drives, let alone a 16gb version. Plus, even with the service manual, the athena is a b*tch to open
Just my 2 cents
I realy think, its not WM6.1 its WM6.0
you can read here (german):
http://www.golem.de/0801/57109.html
Im Ameo 16 GB kommt nun Windows Mobile 6.0 zum Einsatz. Neben den üblichen PIM-Applikationen zur Adress-, Termin- und Aufgabenverwaltung gibt es die Mobile-Varianten von Word, Excel und PowerPoint in den aktuellen Versionen. Dadurch lassen sich auch Dateien aus Office 2007 damit bearbeiten. Zudem liegen ein E-Mail-Client, der Internet Explorer Mobile und der Windows Media Player Mobile bei.

Oh snap!
Perhaps the linked article was confusing it with Office 6.1?

I heared its for Toch and non Toch pdas. But there will no be a non-phone version. Thats my info
WM6.1 and WM7 will be released in the same 3 versions as WM6.
Standard: Smartphones (Without Touchscreens)
Professional: Pocket PC's with Phone and Touchscreens
Classic: Pocket PC's / PDA (No Phone, With Touchscreen)

Are you sure? I have got an info, that Micr. plans to have only 2 version for Wm7: "Smarthone" - without touchscreen and "Smartphone Pocket Pc" with touchscreens. But no WM7 for non-phone-pda´s. This is a strategy from Micr. for get the marked back against the iPhone.
Thats the info i have.
I will upgrade when they put in a 64GB SSD, and do away with the stupid magnet keyboard (stick with the graffiti text input, or copy the Apple phone keyboard).
One other thing, video drivers to take advantage of the screen real estate!!!

Archos future: apps and android updates

hi everyone
happy new year
i want to buy an Archos 70IT
i have some questions in mind
i heard you don't have access to app market, is it true? it means you won't have acces to all apps except the apps archos offers?
and what about android updates?
should you wait for archos to release them or you can update your device ones a new version from google is released? (legal or illegal )
and about online order
they don't sell them online anylonger, is it because 70it is too good and they are out of stock or is it too bad and they canceled it?
thanks in advance
1. Yes it doesn't come with the official Market because Google doesn't allow it on devices without telefone functionality.
But there a big thread in every archos forum about how to install the market.
2. why do you wan't to know? How man updates does the Samsung GTab offer?
3. It is constantly out of stock as it is a good bargain.
As the SDE is here there will be real custom roms.

Happy New Year to you too.
The market is a piece of cake to install. If you can download and install an apk file, you can install the market and the other google apps.
I think we will see the device fully rooted before too long and then you will see custom ROMs. None of it is illegal unless you are using your tablet to defraud somebody lol. I am not really sure what the thinking is from Archos. The devices belong to us and we should be able to do what we want with them. I understand (but don't agree) with the thinking of locking down phones because they don't want people tethering for data (although t-mobile allows this without rooting) or mess up the phone to the point that they don't want service.
thank you guys for fast answers

sorry i'm new to android world, i tried to download an app but it asked me for bar code. well if google doesn't allow archos so its bar code is not gonna work.
i think i need to read more about it. could you please tell me a few threads about installing apps, i myself will search too
2. don't get me wrong, i didn't say other android devices are good and archos is not. i just wanted to know how free i am in this world
3. where can i buy online in the USA or Germany?
can you find them easily in tech stores?
i have family over there and i don't want to disturb them sending them store to store
and last question, who/what SDE is?

android is free right? i should be able to download it and install it whenever/wherever i want
Edit: i did some research and found out about SDE
Suchen hilft wirklich, auch für den Market.

MK908 vs T428

hey guys...I'm just discovering the awesome that is android stick computers and really want one. So far I like tronsmart the best. can anyone help me out though, what is the difference between the MK908 and the T428? They look pretty much the same to me except for their form factor. Also, feel free to point me in another direction if you want.
Tronsmart MK908 and T428 Differences
I asked GeekBuying about the differences. Here's their reply (not edited for grammar, etc.):
We have received your question about item-315155-Tronsmart MK908 Google Android 4.1 Mini PC TV Box RK3188 Quad Core 2G/8G BT Black:
What are the differences between the Tronsmart MK908 and the Tronsmart T428, which Geekbuying.com just shipped to me? They appear to be the same device with different names.
Our reply:
Dear roger_jennin**
Thank you for your inquiry.
1 appearance is not the same,
MK908 is almost the same with MK808 about the appearance, there are two MICRO USB interfaces, a USB interface, it is built-in antennas and heat sink
T428 only one MINI USB interface, a USB interface,also has a heat sink, one WIFI antenna
2: the most important difference between them
T428 using AP6330 WIFI CHIPSET, MK908 using AP6210 WIFI CHIPSET, AP6330 can support the 5 Ghz wireless spectrum, AP6210 support only 2.4 Ghz
3. T428 is currently 4.2 system, MK908 is just 4.1 system, but in the near future MK908 will be upgraded to 4.2

Liliputing's Brad Linder said the MK908 “… streams videos from Netflix and Google Play … without any problems at all.” I was unable to stream Netflix videos with the T428 and am waiting for GeekBuying to provide an RMA to exchange for a MK908.
--rj
As far as i know, netflix don't work on all of the Android 4.2 tv sticks,it's a pain,but they all can work on Android 4.1 OS, so you just need to downgrade your T428 to Android 4.1,and the Netflix will work.
the downgrade instruction is in freaktab or blog.geekbuying.com

I recently got the t428, a very cool device indeed. One point I might make after having bought the thing and played with it. Geekbuying claims Android 4.2 which the device definitely shipped to me with. However after looking at it a bit and doing some reading it turns out that it's actually a port of a mk808 4.2 rom and a bad one at that.
After a little more research I was able to figure out that Rockchip themselves had a stable build of Android 4.1 from sources for the thing. While flashing was a little sketchy at best once I got it done the difference in rom performance and responsiveness was remarkable. Hands down Android 4.1 was better than the inferior port it shipped with.
Thanks,
Tronsmart MK908 get android 4.2 update
Tronsmart MK908 just release the android 4.2 update and improve the performance a lot
see on blog . geekbuying .com
Sorry for bumping this old thread, but had to give props because I wanted to do some quick research comparing these two and this came up first on all the hits. There's a deal that was posted on Slickdeals that I was hesitant to jump in on, but after reading through this thread, I realized it was worth it.
Deal is for the MK908 for only $63 bucks

I just started to read about android sticks. Is this mk908 by tronsmart one of the best? Its so hard to tell what is good and what isn't. There are so many available. The specs look good.

From everything I had read, these 2 and the CX-919 are good ones to choose from. The CX-919 has better wifi connectivity while the mk908 has 1080p playback. Cx-919 is on the same site for slightly more. Was about to buy one of those too, but decided to wait and try the mk908 first. I chose purely on pricing. The extra 30 is enough to be able to buy another toy in addition, like another bluetooth keyboard.

I've the T428 Stcik and i can say i'ts a good android computer ! However, there a some lag.. perhaps due to bad rom ?!
I have the MK908, and I would say: Don't buy it. I have overheating issues and bluetooth/wifi combination does not work properly (although I hear that is being solved by a slightly updated model).
If you are looking for an android stick that runs XBMC it is better to find an (un)officially supported android box (e.g. Pivos Xios, or MK802 III). Although older and slower in hardware, the software support looks to be so much better.
Question
i think i will buy some Android-stick to one of my tv's. There for i ask you guys if you are happy with your sticks or are they not so good as you want them to be?
any video link?

I can't seem to download the APK using Evozi's 'APK Downloader'. My Z1 Compact (on 4.4.4) and Nexus 5 (on 5.1) still have v1.7.6 from November, with no update available from the Play Store. I don't have a Nexus Player so can't look at that version (I'm in the UK but I have my Overplay SmartDNS settings set on my DD-WRT Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite to spoof Zattoo Switzerland (with Recall)).
At the same time as the Android TV smart television operating system launches in Germany, Swiss-based internet TV service Zattoo is bringing out a live TV app for Android TV.

Hmmm, the Android TV app might not have Recall until the Nexus Player and Sony Android TVs are launched in Switzerland.
I installed Zattoo TV from tvaddons or superrepo repository on Kodi 14.2 Helix.

Updated
29 April 2015
Current Version
[2.0.5, on Nexus 4 running Android 5.1]
What's New
- We have re-developed the app from scratch to make it faster, nicer and simply better. We’d love to get your feedback: [email protected].
- Watching recordings (CH only) is even more fun with the new skip buttons and improved seeking
- As we have focused on improving the main parts, we have removed three less used features from this version: reminder function, categories, live preview
- This version requires Android 4.1 or newer

On the Android phone version, there is still no Rewind, Pause or Fast Forward on live programmes (which I believe are present in the iOS version 2.6.0, updated on 10th April 2015 and available from the Swiss iTunes Store: https://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/zattoo-live-fernsehen-sport/id369607618 ) and they have removed the ability to play the current programme from the start. Not sure if this has been addressed in the Android TV version: http://www.netzwoche.ch/de-CH/News/2015/04/29/Zattoo-fuer-Android-TV.aspx
I donwloaded https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zattoo.player with evozi and sideloaded it to my fire tv stick.
but the app is not optimized for a remote, just regular touch?!?! Any other ideas to get the nexus player version of Zattoo?
No updates on this thread lately. Does anyone have the Zattoo apk specifically for Android TV?
i would be interested in the android tv app from zatoo as well, the kody plugin works, but is more like a workround
for the last 24h now https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keepinmind.youtv https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keepinmind.youtv looks good

com.zattoo.player-2.5.1-290-androidphone.apk works with Recall when I have my DD-WRT router at home configured with Overplay SmartDNS settings, and Overplay's online configuration for Zattoo set to 'Switzerland'.
As for Android TV:
Jo' Chambers said:
Zattoo have already confirmed that Recall (Zattoo’s 7 day catch-up service) and Recordings will be available to subscribers on the Apple TV very soon, but until then iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad users will be able to use these features via airplay.
For more details on the new app, check out our full Zattoo review here, otherwise grab the new app now from the German or Swiss ATV app store. (Only available for the new 2015 model Apple TV).

Do you think this is an indication that the Catch-Up and Recording feature will come to the Fire TV version of the Zattoo App?

Hi Paul, I have no information from Zattoo whether this will indeed come to the Fire TV, but I suspect it will. My reasoning for this is that both the Amazon Fire TV and Android TV apps for Zattoo are the same, and both have recently been upgraded to include an EPG. This EPG right now does nothing except move back and forth through the days. So you can’t set recordings, nor can you use Recall. For that reason, I can’t see any actual point of the EPG except one – in that Zattoo plan to introduce Recordings and Recall in the near future.
Further evidence supporting this potential move is that Zattoo have just begun Recall in Germany, even if it is incredibly limited in the channels it supports. So there would be a reason to add Recall to the Fire TV app even though that is not available in Switzerland. Android TV (as in the Nexus Player for example) is available in Switzerland.
I can’t promise it Paul, but if I were to put a wager on it, I’d say that Recall at least will find its way onto both the Fire TV and Android TV platforms soon.

it works on the phone(com.zattoo.player-2.5.1-290-androidphone.apk) and the same APK on the fire tv is somewhat usable too
thanks for the good news / prediction
Sorry for posting in this old thread...
It seems that zattoo is finally working on an android tv app, which supports the replay function. At least they said they are in a support thread (sorry, i cant provide the link -> noob <10 posts rule)

Are you referring to this post from early March, when Zattoo Support suggested it would be available in the new few months?
Hallo Zattoo Team,
Die Android TV App ist sehr gut umgesetzt, was aber ganz klar fehlt, ist die Recall Funktion wenn man die Sendungsdetails im Programm anschaut (wie in der Android App). Gibt es Pläne dies umzusetzen? Wäre echt super!
Freundliche Grüsse
Raphael

Hallo,
wie planen natürlich eine Erweiterung und diese wird es im Laufe der nächsten Wochen und Monate sicher geben. Wann genau dies geschehen wird kann ich Ihnen zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt jedoch nicht sagen.
Viele Grüsse,

Could someone with access to the Swiss play store extract the APK and share it?
V1. 71 just hit the amazon Fire tv appstore, I was not able to simply upgrade, so I uninstalled and installed again.
It works great...

Can someone please post the apk?
I sadly can't download it...
Zattoo is not available on the Android TV app store outside of the supported regions.
If someone is living in an officially Zattoo supported region, could you please share the latest Android TV apk for Zattoo (version 1.7+)?
If your device is rooted you find the apk stored in /data/apps (you can use e.g. ES File Manager).
If your device is not rooted you can APK Extractor (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ext.ui) or use the Backup function in ES File Manager via Library --> Apps to copy APKs to your SD Card.
Thanks!
Is there anyone who can upload the actual version of zattoo app for remotes? many thanks.

The dreaded day has arrived - Progress?

Built in obsolescence.
The day has arrived when I will have to ditch my Amazon Firetv 2nd gen, I have been notified by NordVPN that they will stop supporting Android 5
during April & May depending on the version of NordVPN. As the latest version that works on The Firetv is 4.12.8 I am in the unlucky category as anything above 4.12.8 is Android 6 support only.
Its been a great box to have with all the support of members here, including the release of the boot loader unlock, it seems a shame to throw a perfectly good item in the bin but I suppose that is progress.
At least I have an H96 Max+ to fall back on but the Firetv has a better picture quality and is more responsive and, lets be honest, has a certain sentimental attachment.
So anyone running NordVPN who wishes to check their position check here:
Code:
https://support.nordvpn.com/General-info/1805184652/Old-versions-of-NordVPN-will-stop-working.htm
Don't know the specs but has it not been surpassed by even the Firesticks by now? Go pick up a 4k (not max) from Best Buy for 30 bucks, unlock & root it, etc... Do it while we still can.
