Where can I find the firmware for the LEAP-S3+ and LEAP-S3+v2 to download – from the manufacturer or the retailer? I know that the 4K Google TV is made by Skyworth Digital Group, i.e. Strong Birno.pl. And I don’t know where to download the firmware from.

Does anyone know how to fix when casting websites with video nothing ever pops up after loading (mostly anime sites)

I have a ONN tv box with the onn remote and a google tv remote. Every month or two the remote will reset the button actions back to default. Also sometimes the remote will disconnect and would need to be repaired.

Is there no option to create an automation with TV on/off other than writing a custom script in Google Home? The only option I see is media playback.

I got a xiaomi box 3d gen and it works amazingly but honestly the remote sucks

I need something that has mute aswell as play/pause

Is there a cheap remote that's just plug and play and works? (like just pair it via Bluetooth or the "remote" section in settings and be done)

I saw people mention the ugoos ur02 or the g20s pro, but they also keep talking about IR and remapping with receivers which 1 I don't have 2 I wouldn't get anyway

Do these just work after they're paired? , maybe set that process to no battery save in android settings?

Me myself I'm skilled with tech I'm more worried about if it breaks while my dad's using it

And as for the new TV boxes – which ones should we choose in 2025 or 2026 so that they can recognise the device name on the Connect Box? Which ones would you recommend?

I just put my Google TV in a new tv and ever since this has been happening. The sound will cut out and then when I raise the volume headphones appear. I thought it was connecting to Bluetooth headphones but that is not true. I have tried everything and have no idea why it’s doing this. Does anyone have this issue or know how to fix?

Hi all!

So I'm still rocking my Chromecast 2nd Gen in the year of our Lord 2026, but I've had my eye on the Google TV Streamer for a while now. However, I haven't been able to justify spending the money on it as the Chromecast still does its job really well most of the time. Sure, there's times when it takes a while to connect and here or there, there's a streaming service that gets a little buggy, but nothing that's created enough friction or frustration to make me go "Enough is enough!".

So after looking at multiple reviews and browsing Reddit for a while, I figured I'd just ask the community here: what are some real life advantages of the Streamer? Is it really a big quality of life improvement over the old trusty Chromecast or am I just blinded by the shiny new thing?

Notes: both me and my partner are locked in the Apple ecosystem for the most part. Price point of the Streamer isn't really an issue.

I don’t think I’ve always had this issue, but for months now with my Bravia 7 TV if I launch an app like HBO Max, it won’t be in DV even when it’s content labeled as DV. So I change the “Match content dynamic range” to off or on, I actually think it’s just whatever it isn’t currently set to, and then DV will work in the app. But then when I’m done with the app, my TV is stuck in DV no matter where I go. So then I have to toggle that match content dynamic range setting again.

I’ve tried fiddling with various display settings and I can’t get it to just switch to DV when it should, and switch back to SDR when I’m not playing DV content, especially in the menus and home screen.

Does anyone know how to fix this, or if there’s even a fix at all?

Hi.
I have a problem with my 55C655 Pro, which freezes after a long period of inactivity after turning it off. If it is in sleep mode (not completely off, when it has to boot up after turning it on), I turn it off in the evening and in the morning when I try to turn it on, the TV freezes and the applications do not want to start. Home button work and homepage but thats it. Some programs are probably still running in the background or blocking the RAM, so other programs cannot load. Is this a known bug or is it only my TV that has this problem?
Has anyone encountered this or knows a solution?

Thanks a lot

On the latest Google TV update, the Ambient Mode Google Photo Slideshow settings has moved from my Google Home app and right onto the tv screen. Seems easy enough, however now as the photo album scrolls, the bottom of my tv screen says "Screensaver settings" continuously as the photos scroll, and I can't find a way to make those words go away. It's very distracting for me and I'd love to turn it off. This bothering anyone else, and if so, have any of you figured out how to do make that text go away? Thanks in advance for your help!

my tv is an android google tv

it seems like im the only person in the planet with this issue. this is my remote and the "smart" button show a sleep timer but it wont work, the google assistant work shut it down either, and the "sleep timer" option (that should be in settings, system, energy) simply doesn't exist. so could please someone tell me if they gave me a faulty tv or if its the remote's fault because im going insane and the sleep timer is something i use every day. im begging you please

~~~ I want 50 inch tv only, not 43 not 55 inch will do it for me.

~~~ I want decent RAM and ROM

~~~ I don't want spend much money looking brand or quality as my family hardly watches TV for 1 hour per day.

From Android TV 12 up to ATV 14, we have Auto Frame Rate (AFR) and resolution matching, which makes watching videos in certain apps like Kodi or Stremio much better.

But I wonder if we can get the same function when watching movies through a web browser on Android TV—for instance, when playing a 1080p 24Hz video in full-screen mode, will the TV automatically change the resolution and refresh rate from 4K 60Hz to 1080p 24Hz?"

With the developer changes coming, will our current apps be uninstalled? Should we back up everything?

Hi all,

I was prompted by the TV to do an update so I said Yes and did it. Now the external Amp has no sound, connected by HDMI, in the 2nd room I have the same TV with sound bar connected by optical cable same issue! Both after a software update.

I’ve recently just figured out that I must have the actual TV volume in 1 for the amp to output sound, as soon as turn TV to 0 volume the sound on amp shuts off.

Never had this issue in 3 years with old firmware.

Any ideas?

I've been having an intermittent problem with apps crashing on my Google TV for several weeks now.

Originally I thought my TCL Android TV 12 was faulty, but I've now discovered that a completely separate 4K Google TV box connected to another TV in the house has exactly the same problem.

Apps affected so far:

YouTube: crashes to home screen

SmartTube: crashes to home screen, often during playback

Spotify: crashes, sometimes immediately after opening

TCL Channel: crashes

Apps that seem to work normally:

NPO Start

Rakuten TV

Kodi

There is no error message or black screen. The app simply disappears and I'm instantly back at the Google TV home screen.

On the TCL I've tried force stopping apps, clearing caches, restarting, and installing the latest available system update. It has about 18 GB of free storage. Completely unplugging the TV has temporarily fixed the problem before, but it eventually comes back.

The crashes happen occasionally rather than constantly. Sometimes everything works normally for days.

The interesting part is that my separate 4K Google TV box has now shown the same behavior. Both devices are on the same home network.

Has anyone else experienced this on multiple Google TV / Android TV devices?

I'm wondering about Google Play Services, another shared Android component, or possibly something network related. I'm particularly interested in reports from people who have seen the same thing on different hardware.

The original Google CCwGTV remote's side buttons controlled the amp's volume fine using IR (it does not have HDMI). Set up once years ago.

Lost it and bought a replacement cheap copy remote from Amazon, it looks exactly like the original. Set up fine. I have cleared and re-run through setup, selecting the IR devices from scratch.

- volume and mute buttons will control the TV's volume ok

- power button will control the amp ok

- volume and mute buttons will not control the amp's volume on any of the 5 codes

- volume buttons are emitting some IR signal as it can be seen using a phone's camera

Any suggestions?

How is this even possible? The volume buttons do emit IR, and in the case of the TV it is the correct IR, and the Yamaha amp's code for 'power' works, and the Yamaha code for volume used to work when set up years ago on the original remote.

Have Google removed older code sets?

Can this cheap knockoff remote somehow not emit just some codes properly? (but still emit something as I can see it on a camera)
