Hi just purchased this shield 2017 for the second time and updated it to pie. If I cast it from my phone the first time it freezes the video and then I have to use the remote to exit out. Usually as long as I cast it a second time it works. ANNOYED that it freezes the first time and have to find the remote everytime when I want to just cast a video. I also noticed that the shield will skip a video when I make a cast queue. Anyone else experiencing this after they updated to pie

Hi,
I have the Acer A500, it turns it self off while streaming news but it never happens while watching netflix movie on line.
now I have to set the screen time out to (Never) while watching news
is there any setup for screen time out specially for on line news?
thanks in advance.
Not sure if this has already been addressed? I am looking for a App or some sort of control on my tablet, so that when I am watching videos it locks out the screen. My daughter is almost 1 year old, and likes to watch Mickey Mouse on my tablet. The issue is, she likes to hold my tablet, and ends up turning off Mickey. I wanted to be able to disable the touch screen, or have a certain area to activate the touch screen again. Not sure if there is a app like this? Thanks for any help!

I'm pretty sure mx player has an option on screen that allows you to lock it down while playing, I also find it to be a very nice, straight forward player that runs all my files nicely.

More than that I've been searching for an app that turns off the display completely while hooked up over hdmi. That plus Ps3 controller = replacing the wii in my bedroom. Ha
Is this real life?
I am curious i have a hp extreme slate 7, I plugged in the hdmi cable to watch movies on my tv and it works flawlessly however i am wondering if there is a way to shut off the tablet screen playing video while watching a movie on the tv? I thought it would be a good idea if it could do that but upon thinking about it more I dont think that it will because you have to shut down the touch screen. Please let me know if there is anything already on this subject or ideas. I have a usb keyboard and gamepads to actually navigate the websites and stuff if the screen is off just havent found anything on it yet. Thank You
There's an app called second screen which has an option to turn the backlight off, the touchscreen still works but it's a lot less distracting.
Hi guys. The screen on my X suddenly stopped working and is always black. The phone still works, but I cant see anything.
After many, many, many tries, I was able to get the screen mirrored to my TV, but the screen resolution is way off and/or it is really zoomed in. (see attached photo) I probably changed a setting while I was blindly trying to cast the screen to my TV.
I've casted the screen to the TV many times without any problem (before my phone screen died), so I dont think it's an issue with the TV or Chromecast, but I don't want to rule anything out. I don't want to disconnect and reconnect the phone from the TV/Chromecast because I may not be able to reconnect.
Any ideas as to how to fix this? Thanks.
I have noticed an issue with the new 2019 Fire HD 10 tablet when using the Youtube app. While watching a video the screen randomly goes black like the screen timed out but the sound continues. Also if you use the power button to lock the screen while watching a Youtube video, the screen turns off but the sound continues. I've tried this on two different 2019 HD 10 tablets with the same result. My old Fire HD 8 2017 does not show this issue. Has anyone else noticed this issue or have a solution?
I've already contacted support about the issue with no fix. This is actually the reason I've tested it with a second device.
The screen timeout is set for 2 minutes but it randomly turns off in 2 minutes or longer, or sometimes doesn't turn off and works normally. It seems like most of the time it doesn't recognize a video is playing at some point and turns the screen off while leaving the video playing and you hear the sound.

That causing an issues from OMX codec or screen timeout. Can you enable stay awake in developer options and connect charger to work.

I'm sure I could turn screen timeout off in order to force the screen to stay on but that's not a fix. I would be more likely to damage the screen by forgetting to manually turn it off at times. Also, that wouldn't fix the issue with when I want to lock the screen using the power button and the video continues to play.

Yes it seems to not have the issue. I did have to turn background play off to avoid the power button lock, continued play. It's strange because that could be the issue with the original Youtube app but it shouldn't have background play since its not a premium account. Nor do I see an option to turn background play off in the original app if it was on, only the Pip on/off option.
The other issue is getting the Youtube Vance to show in my kids Freetime profile. I havent found a simple way besides a folder app which shows all apps.
