Hello my friends I bought a fire stick 4k max privately and I can't activate it. I always get the error message that he can't update and I should contact the support center. Now my question is, can I activate it myself? If so, how, thank you in advance

Hi all, fortunately I have my motorola Atrix but I have a problem when playing videos by hdmi to TV, connect the phone and it started the implementation of video on TV but nothing comes out, it is as if not detected, know if I have to do something special on the phone to work this out??
Thanks and regards
Do you select the webtop or media setting once you plug it in? If so, and you aren't getting anything, then your unit might be defective.

hello I am Spanish and do not quite understand what I say, I connect my phone to the TV by HDMI and then open the rocketplayer by example and not play anything on TV.
I've seen people talking about playing with the entertaiment center hd but can not find how to start that application. I've seen that in managing applications is a size 0.0B, may be why?
Where I can get this application??
Thanks and regards.

When you plug in the HDMI cable, a pop-up should appear on the phone asking to start the HD Entertainment Center. That's the only way to get video-out onto the TV. If this isn't popping up and you haven't done anything to modify your phone software, then your device my have a problem.
ok thanks for the help, the only modification I've done is to make the root software, nothing else has that something to do?
I have only tested on a old TV, I'll try another to see if that is the problem, my TV is the first that came with hdmi at best can that be right?
Greetings
My Atrix had something wrong with it's HDMI, I had to return it and get a new one. When I plugged it in to a TV the phone would act properly (the pop-up menu would appear, and the controls would be present when the media center was selected) but I wouldn't see anything but snow on my TV. I also tried a HDMI computer monitor to the same effect. I lastly went to the ATT store and tried a dock, same problem.
Interesting to know that it was more than just mine.
Oh, mine was stock, not rooted yet.

Hi all, ultimately the problem is not the phone, I tested a friend's TV and it works perfectly, when you connect me jump hd window center and all good, so I have a problem with my TV.
If someone happens just as well try it on another TV in case.
Thanks for the tips and greetings.

This may be possible using BubbleUPnP
There are few threads already about this. Main problem is that even if we install
cracked SmartView-apk to N7, "Dual view"-function doesn't work, like it does in
Samsung's own devices.
Hi all,
Recently bought a shield to go with my panasonic cx802 4k TV..
I plugged it all in booted the nvidia logo popped up then black screen... Nothing I tried swapping ports restarting etc nothing.., so I hooked it up to monitor and went though new install changed the HDMI res setting to 720p un plugged and went back to my pana which now did display a picture... Problem is I cannot select a res higher that 720p which I'm finding really annoying.. Can any one help?
Guys I know it's my first post I'm not a total noob.. Just started a new name..
Would a fix for this be to install a custom ROM where I can more control??
Any advice welcome
You shouldn't need that! Btw have you got other sources hooked to your tv, BR player, AND have you tried the sat channel in 4k?
Edit: Saw a reply from @Koying regarding you must not uncheck SURFACE rendering but that was regarding Kodi, to have 4k working. You didn't mention Kodi, though!
Edit2: Have you tried disabling Cec control, if you had it enabled before?

Are you using the at least a HDMI 1.4 cable?
Hey guys, i have the same problem.

hen, i started my shield TV, and it was in 720p. When i try to change this on the system HDMI menu, i just have choice between 3 720P option.
I tried a brand new cable 2.0, same problem.
I reinstall my TV and my shield TV, same problem.
On a french forum i found someone talking about an Edid corruption, but i don't know what that's thing.
I couldn't test on another screen because i don't have one. I can read 4k movie with my popcorn hour on the same HDMI port, with the same hdmi cable as the shield TV.
Do you have a lead about a solution ?
Thanks !

EDID is the signature the TV send to connected device so the device know what the TV can do.
So if the EDID is corrupted or unknown to the device it will default to 720p or 1080p. IMO
Maybe you can perform a firmware upgrade on your TV and see if their will reset the TV itself . Check their support site.
Good luck.
Extended display identification data (EDID) is a data structure provided by a digital display to describe its capabilities to a video source (e.g. graphics card or set-top box). It is what enables a modern personal computer to know what kinds of monitors are connected to it.
Thank you, i did perform a firmware update just before the problem happen on my TV.
Maybe a downgrade could be a solution, i have no idea on how i can do that on philips TV
I tried to do a full install with nvidia img, but i never pass the "please wait .." steps
i could perform a hard reset of my tv, reflashing the first version of the firmware.
Still the same problem.
I will ask Nvidia for a RMA

Filty21 on another forum found a solution here's the solution, i'm trying :
I had the same problem: you have to factory reset your shield on other device like xbox one pass-through. I explain:
First let the Shield connected to your tv and try to factory then at popup confirmation click ok.
Second disconnect hdmi cable to connect it at an other device (xbox or receiver...). Let the shield in this state during 10 min.
Finally reconnect the shoeld to your tv. You will have choices resolution...
Hello.
I do not understand what you are talking about. Could you be clear? I have that same problem
I'm having the same problem on my Phillips tv
Did you manage to resolve this issue Alex?

I'm 99% certain the problem lies with your HDMI cable. Get a HDMI 2.0 or higher cable. A 1.4b cable by design doesn't support higher resolutions with a high refresh rate. It could do 4k but at 30hz only. 2.0 will support 4k , 2.0a will support 4k with HDR.
Hi All,
I've tried looking for a solution and a similar thread but maybe I missed it. I'm trying to mirror my phone's image to my TV anyway possible so when my parents(or whomever) wants to video chat with my 15 monthold daughter, we can have a bigger screen instead of my phone (which she trys to grab and press buttons). I use WeChat and FB messenger for video chats .
- I've thought about buying the chromecast device but not sure if that will mirror the phone screen.
- I've thought about buying a HDMI cable that has a USB-C to plug into the phone but also not sure if that'll work bc someone said its not MHL compatible (not sure what that means).
- Also looked into screen mirroring apps but it can't find my smart TV (westinghouse) even though its on the same network. I think its the TV but I could be wrong.
Any solution is appreciated. I just want it to work.
Thanks

Chromecast will mirror the display...
Other sticks like fire TV stick also...
HDMI output isn't realized for axon 7 I think, searched Google for it long time and didn't find a working guide...
Gesendet von meinem ZTE A2017G mit Tapatalk
Also try built in function. When you have smart TV connected to the same Wi-Fi look in display settings.
I can confirm that my axon 7 mirrors to my roku 3 and my firestick
@scratchstick,, A2017G has no this function yet, so you may try Chromecast or fire TV stick.
I can use Miracast to Fire TV and the Microsoft Miracast stick via MrMD69 screenshot. Just wish they have a cast button on the slide down. Also, I noticed that casting on the Axon 7 is quite poor compared to my other phones (Zenfone 3 and CM1), often with blocks and freezing video.
Hi all , bought a fire TV stick 4k max and I'm using it with my Samsung TV ( approx 1 year old ) the Samsung TV identifies the stick as an Apple TV !! But the Samsung TV identifies my fire TV box gen 2 as a fire TV device , anyone else have a Samsung TV and a 4k max stick that's identified as an Apple TV??? thanks
Sad to see this is still a problem on newer models. Mine rarely works. Isn't there a way to customize the input? Change the name and some generic image? I forget it's been so long.

Thanks for your reply , yes you can use a generic image now and rename it but what I have done is turn off the TV , sleep the fire TV box and remove hdmi cable and put in fire stick , turn back on and it stayed with the Amazon logo, didn't try it for long but seem to have worked .
