I just downloaded an app from the playstore on my MK809IV. installed just fine, but right after launch and the welcome screen, it just shuts down and i'm back at android home screen.
I think this has smt to do with the fact its running on a android tv stick instead of a phone. On my android phone it works like normal. How can this easily be solved?
app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tr.atv
Again the same with another app.. In the playstore it states it's made for phones. But I can still download and install it..
Anyone know a way to bypass this please?
UPDATE:
I think the problem is different then what I first thought. It seems a lot of apps are opening like normal phone apps. This way things are stretched out to fill the TV.. Shouldn't the apps be opening in tablet mode/landscape mode?

I do not know if this is normal, but if I install app from web, it will not download the app into my tablet immediatelly. Instead, I have to open market on my tab, then the download starts. Moreover, after installing the app I often also get a message in the notification area saying, that the application is already installed... I think, that it worked before on background without the need to start the google play. I disabled several apps, none of them should be related to market. Any idea?

Seems to depend on the connection to the Google servers -- I've seen this sometimes, but other times the install went through without a hitch. I wouldn't worry about it, it's a bit hit or miss.
I have a (4GB) Tronsmart TS7 (some times known as a Alps Glacier TS7). It's a Chinese MTK6589 based phone running Android 4.2 purchased from geekbuying.
For the most part the device is stock, there are next to no pre-installed apps apart from the usual, and the only additional apps I have installed are: Playstation, Steam, ColorNote, Shuttle+, Root Explorer DI Radio, Chrome & Gmail
The problem I have is that there are apps appearing on the device that I am not installing. So far it has been the same set of apps that appear:
Mobo Market
UC Browser
TrustGo Security
DU Battery Saver
337 Game Master
GameCenter
(there may be more)
These apps don't start appearing right after a factory reset, but start to arrive 1-2weeks later. They also seem to be packaged similarly; when I say packaged I mean opening them seems to prompt with the same menu & style (accept licence etc) before it gets to the main app. Also, after you open the app from the app drawer it then creates an icon on the desktop. Maybe opening it actually does the installing?
The apps themselves seem to be legit.
I have factory reset the device (twice), and changed my Google password but they are still appearing. They don't show up in my Play store history so they must be coming from elsewhere.
My main concern is that if it is downloading things without my permission, what might it be uploading ? Not to mention wasting my 3g data etc.
So I have a few questions:
Should I be (really) worried?
Is there a way to monitor this? eg connect to a wifi hotspot and packet capture the network traffic? or maybe use a process monitor (the ones I've tried so far haven't shown anything) to see if there is some sort of script in the background?
Can it be stopped?
Thanks in advance, I would be interested to know if anyone else has/had this problem?
I have the same problem.
I haven't tried flashing some other ROM yet, but I guess that is the only way to get it to stop installing those things.
Have you actually found any other roms to install?
For anybody's information:
You may have noticed how you always end up with a 'Tronsmart.mp4' video file appearing in your gallery app. This is damn annoying since it appears twice, once on the internal and once on the external SD card. There is an '\system\app\CopyTest.apk' file which creates both of these. Should be safe to delete it and thus prevent the file(s) appearing
I have actually decompiled this apk. It works as a service that runs when MEDIA_UNMOUNTED or MEDIA_MOUNTED is invoked, and does absolutely nothing else.
I have the same problem, those random apps installing and the video always in my gallery. I have managed to stop tge apps by using a firewall and allowing only my apps that i want to use the internet. I havent found a solution though to fix the problem. Probably tronsmart is spamming its customers...

What Firewall did you use? I might be able to use something like that to pinpoint the app that's causing this.
Sory for the late reply. I am usin "android firewall" free from google play store.
USB debugging disabled stopped it on mine
edit: not that easy, wasn't enough. made some cleanup by disabing/removing some system apps. seems to work so far although there are still some strange events like superuser crashing and right after that system downloader.apk reappearing. haven't seen any other junk coming back
these are the apk's i removed:
systemupdateassistant
systemdownloader
omacp
mtkbt
midtest
galaxy4
fusedlocation
engineermode
engineermodesim

Going nuts here. Did a factory reset a couple of times but no luck.
There's a short cut called "Web Games" that keeps showing up on my Home Screen. I cannot trace where it came from. The short cut opens a Website called "h5playlist.com" which is a simple HTML 5 based Game Website with a few random games. The Whois of the Website traces to a Chinese Domain Name Provider, ename.com, and the games are provided by a German HTML 5 Game company, softgames.de.
I have e-mailed both ename, and softgames but I'm not sure if they'll help. I have also tried to clean the phone with security software but nothing has helped so far.
Anyway, please suggest something, as this is bugging me out like crazy!
I tried every single antivirus but no one discovered it !

hi,exactly d same issue is happening to me.it started 2 days ago..i did exacrpy d same steps that you did but nothing solved it.the web games icon appera everytime i go online so it eventually creats multiple icons in my homescreen. there is also a urlresolver app on my app settings which i keep on uninstalling but it keeps on coming back automatically.i dont know if if has something to do qitj the web games icon issue..i have an O+ fabgo android phone
same problem for me with my Phicomm 660 unrooted mobile running Kitkat 4.4.4.Can somebody help to solve this issue?
I installed nova launcher over the default android launcher and it prevents me from seeing the autocreation of the Irritative shortcut on my screen.I think this is the temporary solution as of now.
There must be some adware that has been installed with either a downloaded app or preinstalled app. Removing the contaminated app could solve the problem. If you cannot find the the app that is doing this for example with malware scanners, the way to get rid of this adware is to restore factory settings.
If the problem is still present after restoring factory settings, the current ROM that is installed in the device must be infected. The solution to this would be to flash the device with a new clean ROM.
Solution:
If you are facing with web games short cut, here is answer for you.
Android:
Go to Settings > Application Manager > Click on running process 'All' > Force Stop & Disable "com.androidhelper.sdk".

This pop up ad appears many times a day.
Can't figure where its coming from and how to get rid of it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Download Malwearbytes and run a scan. Looks like adware.
Malwarebytes found nothing ugg
What happens if you go to your pull down from top notifications? I'd think it will show the running process. Hold your finger on it and should go to the 'notifications' setting for the app.
Start deleting questionable apps you downloaded recently.
I had an update recently installed on my Samsung s8. When I tried to play my music, my phone said I had to download Samsung Music Player, since then I've had ads popping up every 5 minutes. Every ad has the System UI logo and an app that I downloaded to monitor app usage confirmed it also. When I go into advanced setting or admin settings the buttons are blocked. Some say to delete any unusual apps, but how can I tell which apps or stock apps I really need?
Which music player did you install?
I agree with the Malwarebytes, you might also want to check out your skin theme. Some have sneaky ways of rolling out ads to your phone.
Hi
A fullscreen ad pops up on my device.
It's not on a particular app, it can pop anytime.
Malwarebyte doesn't seem to find it.
Here's the screen capture: https://youtu.be/0k_6f7Cog_g
On the screenshot you can see that the app has no name :

If you are getting ads, it's from something that you installed, whether you're aware of it or not.
Try this, boot your device to safemode, this allows only the system apps to boot without loading the apps that you installed yourself, if it boots and runs without ads popping up, it's definitely being caused by something that you installed. In this case, you can try uninstalling apps one at time, using the device for a while after each uninstall to see if the ads keep popping up. When they stop popping up, you know they were caused by the last app that was uninstalled before the ads stopped.

Ok thanks a lot for your help. I was able to find the app that was making those ads.
