After installed can use, off the TV, KODI gone.
Is my TV has been hacked?

I will try to factory reset and see how it goes.
*
gone... meaning not in the tv homescreen?

should be there.

check if it is in settings/apps.

if not there, check internal storage if it is there.

Correct.
Not in the 'Settings - Apps'.
Usually, in Playstore 'Open/Update, Full Description etc'.
But this, 'Install'.
That's mean it was uninstalled.
I believe my kids(2yo & 4yo) can't do that.
*
meaning... u install, ok... then next time tv on, it has been uninstalled, need to reinstall again?

that is strange.

and that does not happen to other apps?


i dun use kodi anymore on the tv but i installed it yesterday to check - all is good, like before.

check to see how much memory used... possible some large pieces of junk causing trouble.

also, do u hv kodi wannabes, e.g. spmc installed inside?

hi all...my sharp lc50ue630x unable to proceed with the software update. The software update does appear on my homescreen however when i click on the update it goes to the update screen then error message pops up saying "Update failed". Does this mean i can't OTA update and will need to manually update via USB? Any link where i can download the latest software update.  cry.gif  cry.gif
*
it may mean yr connection speed too slow or something u installed is blocking it.

i do not suggest u "download and DIY" - these may not be trustworthy, may brick yr tv.

u can contact sharp service, they will send technician to update manually.

I have problem to play all UHD movies on Netflix.
No issue on other device(Galaxy S7 and Mibox(MDZ-16-AB).

I have consult with Netflix support, couldn't help.
I was told maybe it's due to DNS.

How to reset?
I checked DNS was not set on my router.

u r not alone... likely a tm-netlfix issue:

hi, anyone try and success to install this app into the UE630X?
https://androidrepublica.com/2018/04/mitv-live-tv-apk/
Can guide me if successful?
*
yes, it will work.

u download the 2 files, ask for password in facebook, unlock txt file, rename txt file as per instructions.

then use es file explorer to paste txt file onto internal storage folder, install the apk.


seriously, the contents are rather nothing great, and such apps inevitably die after a few weeks.

i suggest u install astrogo and unifi playtv.

if yr id/pw is from full subscription users, u get all the stuff.

reliable and fairly good video quality.

for those who's astogo 8.0.4.2 stopped working recently, and those who haven't got it but want to:


astrogo 8.0.4.2 was the only version that worked on my ue630x for a long time; other/later versions do not work.

today (or yesterday), 8.0.4.2 also stopped working, likely got phased out by astro support.

thanks to a tip from a fellow forumer/tv owner, i was able to install the latest 8.1.98 and got it to work.

app is not in playstore; also can't get it to work using normal sideload.


what i did:

install a browser (i use brave), but think chrome or other browser will work too.

search for astrogo apk, find in apkpure or other.

download, open, log in, all good.

i hope that works for u! thumbup.gif

How do you set your Astro OTG orientation?
*
Install adaptive rotation lock app, from playstore.

And indic keyboard, of course, also from playstore.

These 2 are prerequisites to using astrogo.

i just realized that this rotation lock app may not be in tv playstore.

this is the one i am using, just sideload:

i dont know how, the login screen and the astro OTG menu orientation are off, but when i played a video the orientation become correct.
then go back to the main Astro OTG screen, the orientation also become correct. gila. but its works now.
*
that rotation lock app, u need to open it, activate the first option.

once this is done, the orientation will be landscape for astrogo.

however, whenever u cut off tv power or reset android, u need to activate that app again.

if not, orientation will be back to portrait.

(idic keyboard installed and set to it as well under settings, keyboard.)

Thanks for the update, can work on phone also right?

Btw, is UE630x still the best buy now after 2 years?

There are some clearance models like the Sony 7000 series going for RM3.3k 65in but no andriod tv.. the 630x still goes for RM5k+
*
astrogo works on android phone n tablet too.

Current ua6800x with HDR will b a better choice. See that thread. 60in... Below rm4k, ext warranty, free gifts...

My 50ue630x already 2.5 yrs... Very tempted 2 buy a bigger one... Zero get now....

For those using astrogo to watch live match on ue630x, did anyone experience the picture quality to drop after few minutes of watching whereby the image intend to get very blurry. Have to keep on row back to the sport main page and start again. Tried on q5 pro also having the same problem. Other channels and VOD are still ok.

Only ipad can retain the image quality or will restore from the drop of image quality. 

Currently on 30mb unifi and No problem with Netflix, kodi, and even UnifiPlay. Any idea how to resolve this issue?
*
yes, it is.

only happens to 823, 824.

all other astrogo HD channels incl arena are fine.

happens with other boxes too.

does not happen to tablet.

likely sold too many passes or something suboptimal about the app version.

Anyone having problem watching Youtube live video? Example when i watch Bernama Live or TV3 live.
The feed got distorted and only appeared on the top half of the screen.  Is there any setting to tweak to watch?
No such problem when watching normal youtube video.
*
could be due to unstable connection or some residual junk.

i hv no such problem.

go to settings and reset the android, should clean it up.

It was like that before i update youtube.  So i thought my youtube version outdated but after latest update 3 days ago, no changes.
Hmmm, i am using time broadband 100MB package. No problem watching 4K video.  If i reset android, what else would be affected? settings become default? factory setting?
*
no, not talking about factory reset.

settings, info... restart.

it just close all apps, restart the andorid.

safe, dun worry. biggrin.gif

I'm currently having an issue with my Sharp UE630X - 50". It just won't play .srt files from the usb drive unless I combine the sub file with the video file. Tried vlc,mx player and archos player but still failed. It was working fine earlier then had a motherboard change by Sharp technician since my tv unable to auto-update to latest android version which stops me from watching Netflix as it requires me to update my android version first. I'm also having an issue to install apps other than google playstore now..have turned off the security to allow installation from other than google playstore but still the "INSTALL" button is greyed out when trying to install 3rd party apps.  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  bangwall.gif  bangwall.gif
*
it is quite normal that the srt must be named same as main file in the same folder for it to play.
if u mean embedded subs can't be played, it typically means it is a new format embedded, player can't read.
like i hv said many times, the tv player is not good, can only do small, simple videos well; will struggle with bigger newer types.
time u buy a box player!

possibly due to updated firmware/security patch, some apps fail to sideload with es file explorer.
the "install" button is washed out, cannot be clicked on for some apps.
however, there is a workaround - use of x-plore app from playstore and a simple trick - on/off with remote, resume X-plore to install.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuEYd1fpstU&feature=youtu.be

the android6.0 of this tv is still good for many things.
incl sideloaded apps - astrogo, unifi playtv.
i even used acestream+reddit soccerstreams for live wc2018, good.
just be mindful not to sideload dubious apps that may contain malware.
normally, the security of the tv will stop it and not install at all if it detects it, but try to stay away from unknown suspicious apps.

guys, i have upgraded! biggrin.gif

after 2.5 years with lc50ue630x, i have upgraded to lc60ua6800x, 4k HDR.
the main reason for the change was ue630x cannot do HDR videos nicely although it is excellent for 1080p and 4k.
the ue630x was a fabulous tv for me, incl the use of the andoridtv.
it has been moved to a room where i continue to enjoy it.

if u r looking for a 4k HDR tv, consider the current sharp model, my comments below:

Sharp LC50UA6800X, Review
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4488602/+560
QUOTE(AVFAN @ Jul 24 2018, 02:42 AM)
i received my lc60ua6800x today... been playing with it for hours! biggrin.gif

it's rather easy for me to set up everything and test all that i want to since i have used the predecessor lc50ue630x for 2.5 years now.

the tv is used together with himedia q10pro android box, denon avr, unifi tv stb and unifi 100mbps wifi.

below some of my initial findings and comments:-

.. 60" is significantly larger than 50"! well, that's how i felt on the first day.
my eyes are still getting used to it sitting at 10-12ft sway.
.. the remote is a 2-in-1 (with voice search) compared to the previous model which has 2 remotes.
i find the buttons too close to each other.... problem with mis-pressing with my fat fingers. tongue.gif
.. the UI is good, better than the last one, quicker in accessing controls, settings, etc.
.. the native usb player has improved in that it can now read ntfs, 2TB hdd; but... it can only do aac and dolby audio.
can't do dts or other higher - u just get video, no audio. this is not a problem for me as i dun use the tv for hdd playback.
.. use of airmouse or wireless mouse is fine, no problem.
.. sideloaded apps on androidtv (android 7.0) work fine - astrogo and a couple more for news, int'l live tv channels... for casual viewing.
(i do not want to put too many as i prefer to use my android box for others like kodi and acestream.)
.. youtube works good, plays 1080p, 4k with ease. (not using netflix... no comments.)
.. tv audio is surprisingly not bad... maybe due to this "eilex prism" feature.
.. optical arc is fine, all tv audio whether from tv usb player, androidtv apps or other player will work with arc - dolby digital works if applicable.
.. the wifi module is good, works on 5ghz just like its predecessor.

.. using my box for local playback, HDR works fine. if the file u play is HDR, "HDR" will be displayed when u press the display button on the remote.
.. i tried a variety of files and no surprise the 2160p hdr10 files come out the best followed by full 1080p ones.
.. HDR10 videos surely have deeper and brighter colors.
.. this tv is definitely brighter than its predecessor - even the default settings on the modes - std, movie, dynamic, etc. are quite bright.
unless u activate OPC which will get too dim.
.. i like standard mode most but may use an adjusted dynamic mode for some HDR videos.

overall, i m satisfied with it - it does what i expected it to do.

from desa home theater.. for rm3.5k, 5 year warranty, free delivery+installation, 1-for-1 exchange within 7 days if faulty.. i can't and won't ask for more! rclxms.gif
