Im hoping for s good car dock, Ive tried alot of them in the playstore but Im finding them tacky in all honesty....the google car dock is simple and I like it but it crashes on my N4 a lot is there any updates to this has anyone modified it to work or is there something similar ?
I eventually came across Indrive which is just great!

Has anyone else tried this?
I decided to update my 2nd rooted AFTV1 to OS 5. This box has been on the shelf for a while and missed many updates anyway.
I had to enable updates and restore stock recovery.
It ran 2 updates and the 2nd was OS 5. So far it works good.
I just found that my bluetooth headphones or speaker work great and it keeps the box awake so music and Alexa work even with the TV turned OFF.
USB flash drives work good too.
I'm not sure about restoring root yet. I may not want/need to.
As the title suggests, I'm trying to use alexa on the Fire HD 8 6th Gen, but even with parental controls disabled and the latest firmware, it still won't activate. Can anybody tell me why this is happening, and hopefully a fix?
hope u found the answer ... mine is **** too ...
Quick question are you holding down the circle activate her?
Reason I ask is i didn't realize she only worked that way.
Also she doesn't work on my hd 8 with the play store loaded in. Works fine in the unmodified 7 though

So I recently bought a google home mini , linked it with my shield . I Was able to use voice commands to launch Netflix on my sheld tv. But for some reason , it's stopped working. Now all I get I " Cant play Netflix on Android TV" .
How many others are experiencing this issues?
Thanks
Never worked for me. I read a short while back that Google had/was fixing Netflix for Android TV through Assistant, but I'll keep holding my breath for a while longer......

Yeah I saw that article on Android police posted in October.
It's very frustrating, mostly because I worked for a few days than it just stopped .
Ridiculous that google products can't work properly with one another [emoji1]

Yeah, well. TBH I'm surprised it somehow worked for you at all. I got the "I can't cast to Android TV yet" message from the beginning.
That was the only reason I was hoping for the Shield wall outlet plugin they had announced. That should have prevented these issues and worked directly for all the shield items. But then the Android Mini was released, which made it (mostly) useless (well except for people like us who would actually like full compatibility).

Here in the US I don't have any problem. Kids use it more than anyone else in the house.
"Hey Google, play ninjago on Netflix on Shield"
"Hey Google, play transformers on Netflix on Patio" (Chromecast)
TV turns on (CEC), show starts playing...
And the final one:
"Ok google, turn off shield"..."Ok, turning the Shield Off". Everything turns off.

Yeah. First one gives me the "I cannot play to android tv yet"
Second one works fine (to my Chromecast in Bedroom). also can turn the Bedroom tv on through CEC.
Last one I don't use that way, since I use a Harmony, but I can turn everything (shield, amp and tv) off by giving the correct Harmony command and it turns everything off (or changes profiles if I want to change from Shield to Playstation, or watching TV).
So basically everything works except casting the Netflix to Shield, which they promised would start working and seeing that it works for you, I would think it shouldn't take that long anymore (I think I even have language set to English, US, but I'll check if it's not set to UK which if that's the case could be an issue).
I was wondering if there is a way to use the camera on my Fire HD 10 with Alexa show mode. I am mainly thinking along the lines of having the camera available for drop in calls to my other Alexa devices and possibly to use as a security camera. I just got off the phone with Amazon and they said no one has asked them this question before and that the feature is not available. They said they would pass along the idea to their developers for possible use in a future update. So, I am just wondering if anyone else has thought of this and if there may be a work around for now. Thanks in advance.
