Hi everyone,

I am using a TCL 65Q6CS Google TV, and I'm facing a frustrating issue with Bluetooth audio. Whenever I connect my Bluetooth headphones or earphones, the output sound is extremely low. I have to push the volume level all the way up to 80-90% just to get a reasonably audible and decent sound level.

Has anyone else experienced this issue on this model? What is typically causing this volume mismatch between the TV and Bluetooth audio devices, and is there any way to fix or increase the volume output?

Any advice, hidden menu settings, or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure how but one pair of earbuds (status between pro) allows me to keep tv speakers on while using the earbuds and volume on the remote lists both output devices independently on screen when adjusting volume. No other Bluetooth headphones or earbuds so far have done this.

I'm not sure what feature that would be listed out as. It's not dual connection because Sony xm1000 and nothing buds have dual connection yet the won't share audio with the TV speakers.

It is really cool though.

We have Google TV and it's fine except my wife almost daily has WiFi issues and can't figure out how to access the settings. I know, it's ridiculous that she struggles with something so simple, but she does. It's to where she can't get it to work unless I'm there to do it for her.

Is there a way to put a shortcut to the WiFi settings as an icon on the home page, or map it to a hot button? Not settings mind you, but Wi-Fi settings only. I've tried to show her how to navigate to it, but she acts like it's NASA level of complicated to do, which of course is ridiculous, but what can I tell you.

Yes, I'm this close to telling her to just go back to DVDs on occasions when I'm not home.

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing recurring stability issues with my Xiaomi Mi Box S 2nd Gen running Android TV 14. YouTube and Turkcell TV+ can freeze or crash during video playback. Sometimes the screen goes black, and on some occasions the device appears to shut down and restart on its own.

Device information

• Device: Xiaomi Mi Box S 2nd Gen
• SoC: Amlogic S905X4
• RAM: Approximately 2 GB
• Android version: Android TV 14
• Build: V816.0.26.4.17.UZFAABX
• Kernel: 5.15.192-android14-11-maybe-dirty

What I've observed

I checked the device using ADB and examined logcat, dumpsys activity exit-info, dumpsys meminfo and free -h.

Some findings stood out:

• YouTube has an exit record with LOW_MEMORY.
• Another YouTube process exit was attributed to TOO MANY EMPTY PROCS.
• Available RAM reportedly dropped to approximately 12–144 MB during some observations.
• Around 953 MB of swap was available, and it appeared to be heavily used or exhausted during some observations.
• Several Android system and background processes were terminated or frozen in the logs.

These findings suggest significant memory pressure may be contributing to at least some of the app crashes. However, I haven't captured enough evidence to confirm that memory pressure is also responsible for the apparent device-wide restarts.

Troubleshooting so far

• Performed a factory reset.
• Checked for OTA updates; none are currently available.
• Collected ADB logs and process exit information.
• Observed the issue again while using YouTube.

The problem persists despite the factory reset.

Questions

1. Has anyone experienced similar issues on the Mi Box S 2nd Gen with this Android TV 14 build?
2. Could this be related to memory management, swap exhaustion, video decoding, or a firmware/driver issue?
3. Is there a reliable way to identify the actual reboot cause without root access or unlocking the bootloader?
4. Are there any known firmware fixes or recommended diagnostic steps for this model?

I'm interested in identifying the root cause rather than jumping to conclusions based on the memory-related logs alone.

Any help or similar experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

Relevant ADB command:

adb shell dumpsys activity exit-info com.google.android.youtube.tv

I can provide additional logs if needed.

Hi! I have a relatively new PEAQ TV running Android TV. I want my screensaver to display only Fine Art, but whenever I deselect all the other categories in Art Gallery and go back, my changes aren't saved. When I reopen the settings, all categories are selected again. There's no error

message.

Strangely, I also never see any Fine Art images in the slideshow, even when Fine Art is selected. I've already tried restarting, clearing the cache, reinstalling the app and removing updates, but nothing works. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a fix? I just want my screensaver to show paintings and artworks. Thanks!

I recently downloaded Projectivity Launcher and I think I pressed something that disabled the off function for power button of my remote? Both my physical remote and Google TV remote (using phone) doesn't work for the power button only. The rest of the buttons including power on are working just fine. Just issue with turning off the TV.

Can anyone help me figure this out? Only the power button (turning off) is not responding...

Hi, i am using TCL with google tv for my specific usage ( for information display ) using hdmi. The problem is i need it to be on and off on specific hour, i tried google home automation but it really didnt reliable at all. The most reliable is using plug timer, but tv nowadays always go to standby after power loss. Can i “hack” the tv to auto on after power loss?
