only apps from tv playstore and some selected ones by sideloading will appear on the launcher.

those not appearing, u access them with another app where they will all be housed.

u can install sideload launcher as already suggested or hal launcher - the 2 most popular ones in playstore.

Astro go works perfectly... Picture quality not bad...

Only thing is the air mouse a bit hard to control and pull the page up/down, left/right.

Any with experience of putting a wireless mouse to control it? So we can scroll up down easier.

good to hear!

wireless mouse, airmouse.... same... cannot scroll, the app is such.

can only drag.

i hope installed latest v8.2.6.

u guys experience any audio lag from tvbox via ARC?

tvbox ----> hdmi ----> TV <----- hdmi ARC <---- soundbar

Erm, y not use phone to browse the internet? I found browser on TV very hard to use

if wanna play streaming video in browser, i usually use my spare phone, then mirrorcast to TV

best to tell what box and what soundbar.

lag with local playback or online streaming?

tv box = mi box 3 (borrow from fren)
sound bar = sony ct-390

the audio lags like 0.5s, for both online streaming and local playback. same thing happens when i replace the tvbox with a PC

i called to sharp, the technician told me it is becos the signal conversion between analog and digital (which i do not understand what he is saying or he is trying to bs me, as i using all hdmi connection, i assume my signal is all digital)

try w/o hdmi arc, use optical from tv to soundbar, see if u get same kind of lag.

that will tell something.

I did try it too, it has the same audio lag too.

that, i am surprised.

i use this optical quite a bit, connected to AVR.

whether androidtv apps incl netflix, androidbox, hyppbox, playback or online streams, it is fine, no such lag.

i do not use hdmi arc, mibox or soundbar... don't know enough... maybe u can ask in mibox or soundbar threads.

i am quite sure it is not a TV problem.

i called to my regular shop, they also scratching their head. they advise me to use soundbar with multiple hdmi ports to solve this problem, pandai do biz

while they would like u to spend, they may right about better soundbars.

yr soundbar is a cheap low end one, i think...

personally, i has never used or even played with a soundbar.

never like it, had always used full AVRs... for decades.

Can you set the audio sync or time delay on the sound bar (if they have this option)?

yea, it is a low end soundbar, got it rm7xx last time

it doesnt have any audio sync setting, as it has very basic setting. I bought the soundbar to sony center, they checked and tested, found nothing wrong with the unit.

so i assume the ARC connection got problem, also tried using another hdmi 2.0 cable, doesnt help

Possible such soundbars have protocols and firmware built for sony tvs, may not fit well with other tvs.

Seriously, consider selling it, spend a few kRM on a proper 5.1 home theater!

Not those hitb or home theater in a box, but a component built up set.

That can easily serve u well for 10 years.

0.5 s lag is very serious man
I've never used a soundbar but I don't think the digital to analog conversion caused the lag
since you've tried your sound bar on other tv and maybe you can try using other soundbar on your current tv

Can you try mibox or PC, optical link direct to sound bar and HDMI to TV. Check if you have any lag?

Alternatively like someone suggested, try the soundbar to another Sharp or other than Sony TV, to check if there is such lag.

Sony TV like AVFan mentioned, may have specific programming for this soundbar in terms of sound syncing.

Based on Sony Technical Bulletin, their recommendation is to connect your input source device (Mibox / PC) --> Soundbar --> TV; for out of sync audio.

There is also a Vertical.S On/Off, which you may want to read about.

Thanks..
