You don let the cat out of the bag..

hello all, i tried to look for it but its very difficult.

Anyone knows how to install Set Orientation on LC-UE630X with Android ver 6.0.1?
I know abt the apk files downloading and running install but the apks i have downloaded cannot be installed because the install word is dimmed. Anyone can help pls? I can run Astro on the Go but it is like 90deg tilted and i cannot scroll to see other channels. Much appreciated.

the full steps are not available anywhere else but i have written them here some weeks ago.

so, good that u asked.

read post #2 of this thread, last part, the section: ASTROGO/Sideload Apps - Android 7.0:

i have just updated it with a minor amendment.

u will find the answers there.

there are only minor differences between androidtv6 of ue630x and androidtv8 of ua6800x.

if u need more help, can post in ue630x thread:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3811168/+1580
i actually made a post there recently about the set orientation app.

but since the tv is not so new, hardly anyone goes there now, i suppose.

I checked the lazada price lc60ua6800x ard rm3.4k , is it worth to go ? Or go samsung nu7100 ?

read all the threads, view them, then decide yourself.

u won't and can't get a good answer if u go to a honda club and ask if u should buy honda or toyota!

After updated to android 8.0, is reading video files from TV USB working?

I am still in version 7.0, but i need netlix.

you can search www.goshop.com.my and see if their 10% discount is still there… i bought mine there 2 months back with discounts and paying less than 3k for it…

i have updated mine to the latest. The built-in player can read my video files on my 64GB micro sdcard plug into a USB card reader. i have not tested it with external HDD though.

oh tats great, use tv player or other apps bro?

i remmeber members here saying updated tp 8.0, cannot use apps to read the video file

android 7 or 8, u can use the tv's native content player.
trouble is this player can do only aac and dolby... the rest, no audio.

vlc, mx, kodi cud read/play files in android7 but not in 8.
afaik, there has been no update since august.
so, no change.

can we type chinese pinyin word in this android tv? (e.g. when we search for video in youtube, can we type in chinese character to search)

I never tried but... u can install chinese pinyin keyboard, set as default for that.

probably can use pinyin voice search too.

Thanks, 65 n 60 seems difference are quite big

yes.

and take note the bigger the size, the more demanding it is.

esp mediocre-low quality video input.

in contrast, small size like 32-40", anything may come out acceptable.

Yes, i m headache to choose lc60ua6800x or sony kd65x7500f

Hi. May i know how u guy use internet browser on 6800 ? I try to search on apps store, Firefox, google cholme all dun have

Sharp uses VA panel, while Sony's is IPS. VA has better "blacks", make it better contrast overall. Just losing out on viewing angles.

if u r on android8, there is PUFFIN browser approved and installed (unless u said no during update).

common browsers like firefox, chrome are not approved in androidtv so u dun see them in playstore... but u can sideload them.

u can also sideload other browsers like brave, dolphin... no restriction, really.

just be mindful some versions of some browsers come with irritating extensions that u may not like, e.g. pop-ups, reminders, etc.
