TCL L50P8M - Wireless keyboard turns off my TV after updating Android - Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV

Hi guys, I am having a problem with my tv.
I have a generic keyboard with a 2.4ghz USB receiver.
While the TV was with the version that came from the factory, the keyboard worked well and could be turned off when not in use, this action did not affect the TV.
Yesterday, we updated to the latest version of the system since the TV suggested it. The update went well and everything worked correctly.
When turning off the keyboard to save energy, now the TV turns off too and there is no way to turn it back on, you have to take the original control and turn it on again ...
Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be and how to fix it?
I went to the store where I bought the keyboard, they changed it for a new one and the same thing keeps happening.
Thank you all!

Wireless keyboard- android tcl

Hello guys,
I have 2 TCL TVs which have the same issue.
I bought 2 USB wireless keyboard/touchpad to use one for each.
They both go on standby when the keyboard is turned off manually or automatical standby.
I have found an option which fixed it (somehow) for me:
"Settings > Device Preferences > Inputs" & disable the following: "Device auto power off (Power off HDMI devices with the TV)"
After I toggled the switch in the settings, the TV will not turn off when I manually switch the keyboard off!! (if it takes me near to 2' and I turn it off, the TV goes off as well)
On the other hand, the TCL Android TV will still go on standby but only when the wireless keyboard goes on automatic standby after about 3 minutes..

Hi! I found a solution you have to keep press volume + or - in your remote control at the same time you turn off the keyboard. That way your TV doesn't turn off too. Then, you can turn on the keyboard and use it again. It's a little tedious but it's something :/. (Sorry for my English, I'm from Costa Rica and I speak spanish).

You have to keep the remote control off until you use it again. Any time you need to use the remote control, you have to turn it off with this method again.

Fire Tv Stick remote suddenly stopped working

Like it says up top, but it's relatively new. Of course I tried new batteries. I had been using the originals from when I bought it in late March. All I was doing was syncing mysql to the stick and I needed a mouse to move some stuff around in ES file explorer (got side tracked actually and installed task manager to clear the cache) so I installed WuKong remote. It was then I noticed some serious lag--takes about 10 seconds or less on fire tv console to clear cache. This took about a minute at least then it just froze in the app, couldn't press home. Tried 3 sets of new batteries but nothing worked.
BTW--this new faster screen timeout on aftv is all the more annoying when you're trying to do something like update a library because if I leave for a couple of minutes I need to reboot since neither Yatse nor wukong were able to wake up the display BUT you can still hear the clicks.
I don't mean to go on but something tells me this is more than just a remote control issue. I thought if anyone had a similar experience they might be of some help. Thanks.
Did you try to pair the remote again? Press the home button for 5-10 seconds after powerup.

Yes. A few times with different batteries, but it just won't pair. I might try a factory reset. If I had to pin point it it would've died when i first started using wukong app. I've used that on other devices with no issues but that's the only thing i did differently last night. I'll probably do a factory reset and if that don't work call amazon.
You could try the Android phone remote app for calling the pairing function from menu. Probably this does the trick.

And had I caught your post a bit earlier...I may have lol.
I still have no idea the root cause but a factory reset did the trick. The remote responded immediately (actually a lot faster then when i wipe my rooted atvs.) I wonder if the wukong remote somehow highjacked it?) Just remember the reason i installed it was to be able to mouse click "show hidden" on ES file explorer. The stupid part is I now know there's another way to accomplish this without a mouse by going into the app's settings. No big deal. Thanks for the help!
This has happened to me thrice in one week. This on a rooted FTV, not stick. Three times, the remote just died. Changed batteries, but no joy. The first time, a simple reboot fixed it. The second time, I had to use the FTV app on my iPhone to un-pair and re-pair it. The third time, the reboot did the trick. Not sure what happened. Since then (around a month back), no issues. No change in firmware/apps/any sort of configuration on FTV (or any new devices in the house) before the problem or after the problem. The problem came for a week and then simply went away.
I don't have the Wukong app installed. I have one another FTV in my bedroom and made sure that the problem remote did not somehow got paired to it, and it wasn't. I need to read up on BT interference, that seems to be my wild and ignorant guess. Or some hardware within the remote is going bad... But, I am not sure about that reason, the remote is used everyday and works fine since the mishap.
Today while watching a video via my AFTV, the whole thing just locked up on me. Had to remove the power cord to reboot it. After it rebooted I noticed that my controller wasn't doing anything, and the same with my amazon game controller. But my logitech K400 worked. So I go to settings because I know for a fact the batteries aren't bad. Put in some new one on the remote first thing and you can see the led light up on the controller. Anyways, in Settings it said my controllers were paired, but said Battery, like the batterys were dead. So I used my keyboard to unpair my gamepad. Then I had no problem pairing it up and controlling stuff, so I did the same with my remote and boom, now it works.
tl;dr Check settings, if it says just Battery on the controller, unpair it, and then pair it again.
Can some one help my fire stick controller it's working correctly it goes up & down but it won't go on the mouse bit to click on the show box films I want to watch I'm new to all this technology stuff lol
fire sitck dead
I had my firestick for a week and used it, maybe four times. Went to use it again and it would not come on, no LED light, nothing. I changed the batteries, several sets of new ones. Nothing. I am not a tech guru, so if you have some ideas for me, dumb them down.
Oh, and I tried the new batteries in another remote and they work fine.
Had the same problem too... I had to hold down the Home button while being 4inches away from the receiver before it synced
i've had no luck with my firestick remote, i connected the firestick to my tv but the firestick remote won't sync with the firestick so now i'm stuck at the first screen, i've tried changing the batteries for new ones, cleaning the remote's battery contacts, plugging and unplugging the firestick from the tv and the electrical outlet. I've also plugged the firestick to a brand new tv and still can't find the remote. I've remove the batteries for 2 hours and tried again to sync it to the firestick and no luck. rebooted my router several times, put the remote next to the firestick to see it would sync and still no luck, changed hdmi ports and nothing, went to a friend's house and not working there either. called amazon to be sent a replacement firestick and remote, they sent both and still the same problem. I would like to factory reset the firestick but i don't know how since i can't use the phone app or the remote. I'm at the very first screen where it asks you to press the home button so it can find the remote. btw, i've also did the hold 3 button remote reset and didnt work either. i have the firestick with voice first generation, i had kodi installed so i don't know if that means it was rooted or not.... Any suggestions on what else i can do to pair it would be greatly appreciated.
TL;DR firestick with voice remote won't sync no matter what and need help with syncing.
If you are still having this trouble it is because your firestick does not recognize that the tv is on. It's doing that because it is plugged into the wall. If you unplug the USB part of the plug from the wall and plug it into your USB slot on your tv it will solve the problem. Switched mine over and it hasn't happened since.

That makes absolutely no sense at all.
@nachumama So you have a new FireTV Stick and a new remote and it still doesn't work? Two separate sets of stick+remote and none of them works on your TV or the one at your friend's house? That's not good.
FireStick remote not working properly
My Firesticktv remote was working very slowly. I would hit a button on the remote and nothing would happen for about 30 seconds. I changed the batteries(no change). I fixed it by going to Settings- Network- whatever network it says you are connected to. hit the Forget this network, Then connect to the next network on your router. It was my 2.4GHz channel. For some reason my channel was changed and was on my 5GHz channel, It didn't work on the 5GHz channel. The remote works like new again
my firestick is not working tried very thing that other people has tried what to do next
Fire Tv Stick remote suddenly stopped working issue or Amazon Fire Stick not working issue usualy occured due to Inadequate Power Supply, Damage Fire Stick’s remote batteries, Outdated Software, Corrupted Fire Stick Cache, and Overheating of Fire Stick devices.
However, there is some workaround solutions available on the web 'https://techsmagic.com/how-to-fix-amazon-fire-stick-not-working-after-update-reset' page detailing it. Here is the solution:
Method 1: Restart your Fire Stick
Method 2: Check your Internet Connection
Method 3: Update FireStick Software
Method 4: Clear the Fire Stick Cache
Method 5: Reset your Fire Stick to Factory Settings
If you have some other and better solutions to fix this issue, must share with me. Thanks

Help with screen mirroring

MTC8-KLD6-V2.81
Rooted with Malaysk's latest ROM
For the past month or so, my phone (HTC M8) has flawlessly mirrored with my Head Unit. THEN came a Marshmallow update. Now my HU/phone mirroring is as follows;
1) Plug Phone into USB port.
a)bug icon shows on phone's top banner
2) Press Easy Connected on Head Unit
a) Four blue bars on HU light up as expected
b) Phone now asks if USB should be used for Screen Mirroring (can only press "Just Once", because "Always" is grayed out)
c) I have tried several different ways to deal with 2.b., but I get the same end result
3) Phone enters Drive Mode (I have also turned this off, but no different result)
4) Head Unit spins its wheels for a while, then claims to enter Screen Mirroring, but all I get is a blank screen with the "Home", "Back", "Exit" buttons on the bottom
a) Phone itself never shows on the Head Unit.
As an aside, I tried to use my phone on Chromecast last week. It look forever to play a single YouTube clip, and when I tried to play a different one, "play" and "pause" would work, but it never actually went to the next video. Pressing play on my phone would start the second video on my phone and also start the FIRST video on the tv.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I also have the same problem. I changed my Note3 on GalaxyS7 and said goodbye to ScrenMirroring I really do not like it. Autoradio should update to Android Lollipop and the problem would disappear. But if even our AndroidAutoradio live to see the renovation

Sadly, I already purchased a new phone. But thanks for the updated app, I'll hold onto it in case my new phone gets an update.
I was looking all over for this, thanks
My new phone updated to Marshmallow last night (against my wishes and despite my efforts to stop it). Now I'm back to not working.
I'll try that updated app, but I'm not holding my breath. All my searching has revealed threads where people have said that the apk will not update and I have not found a single example of someone with Marshmallow who has Screen Mirroring working.
I am pleased to report that the above update to EasyConnected worked and I am now able to mirror my phone (Marshmallow 6.0.1) once again.
I was ok with Marshmallow on my Nexus 6P but cant to mirroring not that I upgraded to Android Nougat 7.0
Hopefully someone like xterm305 will come along again and provide a link to an updated .apk.
In the meantime, try rebooting your head unit. That has worked for me in the past when my phone wouldn't mirror (but, that was not when it updated).
Malaysk has a link to this thread that might help, DanB0Y. Please let us know.

I think you need to remove an .apk from your phone and then connect it to your stereo again though the usb.

Please help

Hello I am looking for guidance to fix my firestick. I've exhausted all search options.
I lost my firestick remote some time ago and just got competed moving. I decided to re setup my firestick. However I am running into the following issue.
I now have a new router, so my firestick is still looking to connect to the old router settings. I downloaded the firetv app but i can't remember my old router net id and password settings to create a hotspot with my phone and update my network settings.
I purchased a new remote as I have read you can just pair it to your current firestick by holding the home button for 10 seconds. I've tried this several times. However my firestick seems to be stuck in sleep mode. I have tried to unplug the firestick to reboot it. However I cannot get past the black screen.
I have verified that I am on the correct hdmi screen and the unit is plugged in. I also tried two different hdmi ports on my tv and no luck.
Does anyone have a work around or am I stuck buying a new firestick?
Do you see anything as the FireTV boots? It's just black?

I do not get to see it even boot. When I plug the unit into the hdmi port the screen stays black. I am on the correct hdmi setting on the tv. I have 6 hdmi ports and have no luck on any of them.
I've read that people say the USB cord can get burned out so the unit is not getting power. I will swap my iPhone cord to see if that is the issue.

Question Andoid Auto

Got my Fold 3 a few days ago. Got is setup and plugged it into my truc,k and my Android Auto unit reads "No Device'". My Note 10 works fine but not my new phone. My headunit is a Jensen (like I said, worked fined with my Note 10). The Fold3 works find in my Nissan (Pioneer head unit) and my Edge (factory Ford Sync).

I am no expert here, but when I had a similar issue. I believe it is because I transferred everything from my prior phone to the new one. I got the same error when trying to pair my phone with wireless Android Auto in my Kia K5. My solution was to goto Google Play Services and clear the cache there. For some reason that allowed my phone to be found by my reciever. and worked. I didn't experince this with my new ZF3 but I did when I got my Note 20 Ultra last year. So try clearing the cache in Google Play Services.
Hey so try clearing the cache in the Google Play Services app. This worked for me when I had a similar issue with my Kia K5 going from Note 9 to Note 20 Ultra. I got the same error no device. This was going to a wireless head unit for AA. I finally figureout how to clear the cache in the Google Play Services app. Then went back to connect and it worked. Try this. It may work for the ZF3. Thankfully I did not have the same issue going from the Note 20 Ultra to ZF3. But this is what I would have done.
Thanks, man. I did that and to no avail. My phone is still not being recognized by my truck. When I press "Android Auto" on my head unit, I still get the message "No Device"
I'd flip cables for sure. Then I'd go to your setting when plugged in and make sure it's not set to charge only on the phone. Should be adjustable from the notification on charging.
I've having some weird issues with android auto and my fold 3. I've noticed when connected to android auto I often loose cellular data and it switches from 5g/lte/edge and no service. If I disable android auto the phone operates normally. Anyone else seeing anything similar.
Just a thought for OP. Did you happen to try opening Android Auto app in phone and checking to see if truck is an added vehicle and add if not?
The cable seems the most viable option. There is no option to select or deselect charging only, and Android Auto is no longer separate app. It is built into the OS and automatically opens when the phone is plugged into a headunit and there are no options to manipulate. The pain is that the dash has be pulled out to change the cable so I'll have to research a certified cable.
Did you buy chance to to settings > advance settings > then use Android auto there? Not sure if a setting in that will help. When I open it it wantsto attempt to connect to vehicle

When I go there, I get the button to connect to a car, but when I plug the cable in, nothing happens and the head unti still displays no device. I'm thinking that I'm going to have to remove the dash and change the cable.

Ah well unfortunately don't no more than that, just knew I saw an android auto option in there. My car doesn't support wireless and haven't tried the wired part yet to see
Well, removed the dash and head unit and changed the cable. I tried a Belkin USB-C certifed cable and even the known working cable from my other truck, and got the same thing.
On the phone I get the notification to stop my truck and apply the parking brake to continue and on the head unit I still get the notice of "no device" when I press the screen for Android Auto. At this point, I'm hoping I don't have to change my head unit to get this setup to work.
Weird mine worked just fine.
Did you make sure everything was updated
Yeah. I called Jensen they say it's a phone problem, Samsung says it's a Jensen problem
Got an email from Jensen customer service. My HU uses a bypass to allow certain functions while my truck is moving. I installed the HU myself and also installed the bypass. Jensen engineers found that I need to disconnect the parking brake wire from the bypass and connect it to chassis ground. I did that and was able to connect. I'm so happy to be able to use my phone in my truck.

Philips smart tv won't change channels

Smart TV 32pfl4664/f7a turns on ok and I can navigate to antenna tv ok. The channels can be changed up and down ok but later in 2 or three minutes the tv won't respond to any commands to change channels. When you touch any of the 4 navigation keys you hear the bing sound but nothing else happens. The volume, mute, and home keys are still active. If I hit home it goes to home and I can re navigate back to live tv, then the channels can again be selected for a short time but it quits again.
This tv was powered but not turned on for about 2 months if that matters? This issue was obvious the first time I turned it back on after the rest. The tv snapped out of this bad behavior and worked fine for about a day after a system restart, then returned to to it's bad behavior after leaving off over night.
What I have done so far is a new remote,. Several system restarts and finally a factory reset with new software update. It still does the same thing.
Anyone know what's happening or what to do next?
Thanks in advance for any help, Bruce
