Ok ive had to purchase this app THREE times so I have some experience with it (iPhone,iPad,and Android). My issue is..constant freezing, no matter what channel (HD and regular) or what settings (Standard or High quality). I have more then enough dl speeds etc for it to work flawlessly, but on 3G,LTE and WiFi, it freezes within 20 seconds of starting up. I have reconfigured my router for manual setup according to the video guide again but it still wont play in a usable manner unless I like looking at the static picture with voices in the background lol.
Anyone else use this app that has it running fluidly?
When I had my Thunderbolt, it didn't matter what I was using (3G,LTE, Wifi), the picture would always stutter about and freeze up for a good while, maybe sometimes even up to two minutes when I started using it.. After those initial stutters and freeze ups, though, it would always play without a hitch..
I know it doesn't really help, but just my experience with it.
ugh yeah mines consistant. Even over WiFi it freezes so its frustrating
Hmm, the only things I can really think of would be:
New ethernet cord between the router and the slingbox?
New cable cord (Probably not, but hey it could work)
orrrr.....
maybe the cords from the slingbox to the cable/dish receiver are bad?
I had the issue too and I found the problem was in the slingbox itself. A capacitor had gone bad and I had to swap it out. Look for a bulging capacitor. Here is a good guide:

I have had a CS918 box for around 4 months and it largely works very well, however every now and then (once an hour maybe, sometimes two or three times in the space of a minute though) the screen goes blank for a second or so, the sound also cuts out for this period of time also.
I was using stock firmware, recently updated to a 1080p kernel and custom rom, but this still persists.
I've changed the HDMI cable and the slot it's in also.
I'm leaning towards a dodgy power supply - has anyone else had this issue?
Many thanks

I've just bought one of these boxes and am having this issue. I've tried searching everywhere for other people having this problem and this is the only post I've found.
Has a fix ever been discovered?

I also have an issue with mine, and the answer seems interesting and related.
With mine the image flickers sometimes, and needs to be reset, other times the audio will just go quite for 2-3 seconds.
It very well could be a power supply issue, as it seems to be slightly loose, but the interesting thing is that the video keeps playing perfectly when the sound goes out.
It does the sound thing much more often now that it did before too.
got the same audio issue ... could it be the hdmi cable?
I have the cs918+ and have the same blackout issue I update the firmware frequently but still happens...

I have a strange problem with my new Anker Zolo (non plus). While the screen is off it works almost flawlessly, with really rare dropouts on left bud. But when I turn the screen on I immediately get a dropout and a stutter and I get a dropout on the left bud every 30 seconds or so while the screen is on.
I know it's not a signal issue since it's the same if I'm holding the phone 20cms from my face or if I'm 10 meters away. Also, this happens only if I'm using AAC. If I turn it off it's ok (albeit the sound is so much worse that I'd rather have dropouts). It should be something software related. I played with bluetooth settings in developer tools but no luck.
Any ideas or similar issues?
Hello all,
My 1 year old note 20 ultra bougth on wondamobile because it was cheaper that in my country and had the snapdragon version.
Just got this HUGE problem, i was watching a youtube video and the screen just got black all of a sudden, and for 2 days never lit up again.
I live in Europe and Samsung says they wont cover the warranty of it as it wasnt purchased in Europe.
This is completely ridiculous, the phone costed 1300 euros, top of the line.
And now all of the sudden just dies.
I have tried all the methods online and none of them works, conecting a hdmi usb c cable to the screen, the iphone conects but i can only see the hours and a lock, cant unlock the phone, even tried with a mouse and keyboard using a usb c hub and nothing works.
Anyone knows a real fix for this?
as a new screen is 400 € and i dont want to pay this value.
This never happened specialy with a high end phone.
The N20U has had some display issues... Sorry.
Likely the display, could be a connector, battery or mobo failure.
See if you have legal recourse, otherwise lean all over Samsung like a cheap suit.
In the end you may need to do it out of pocket.
Last drama free rollout from Samsung was the N10+Snapdragon (new ones still available for $800). I got a second one because of Samsung's and Android 11/12's lack luster performance.
Some don't think it's that bad...
I sure do, which why I stepped back and rejected 5G, variable rate displays, no flagships SD card slots and one of the most dysfunctional Android OS's ever released.
I'm in a holding pattern running on P and Q until the fallout settles. Minimum 1-2 years perhaps longer.
This problem also happens in the note 10, s20 and others.
The biggest issue is that its a phone from South Korea and im In Europe so the warranty isnt valid.
Was so happy with it until now. Its not the 5g, neither the Android version.
According to what i read this issue is caused due to the one ui 3.1 update.
Because if it was a screen problem the touch wouldnt even respond to touches and it does respond.
Battery was at 81 percent went this happened, and the mobo for sure is good as i can conect the phone to screen and see it like Dex problem is the phone is locked so i cant unlock it even using this option.
And once again as the screen is locked it isnt recognized by usb so no program will work to get the data out of it or try any solution using dex.
As its a version bougth in Sk when i called the assistence they say they cant even do nothing because they only get parts for European phones and that parts are diferent, but the screens must be the same in both versions what differs is the mobo.
This is giving me headaches
Are you saying the update is causing hardware failures or that the black screen is not hardware damage but a just firmware issue?
The phone was working fine.
Until with the last updates the wi fi got inconsistent and i have the best and fastrst internet in my country.
Also as in this image shows the phone does work , problem is i cant unlock it. If i could probably could reset the software.
As the screen only had a minor scratch, so it was never damaged.
Now a 1300 euros phone is just a paper weigth
If it's a firmware you may be able to pull up the boot menu... and go from there.
This is beyond my skillset but it's not a paperweight yet.
I tried it all.
Would be easy if it worked via usb or via dex.
But its stuck in it.
This is a Samsung problem on the latest phones.

Try letting it fully discharge until auto shutdown if possible.
Physically disconnect the battery, hard reset.
Try some Google searches to find more options.
You might need to pay a repair shop or Samsung to fix it.
It wont shut down. Its like this for 2 days
Removing the battery will be dificult also.
Yeah its going to cost 400 euros for a phone npw worth near 900 or less altough its unlocked.
Will never buy a flagship again.
You don't need to remove the battery, just disconnect it. Watch a tear down vid.
You need a heat gun or pad, anhydrous isopropyl alcohol to help break the rear cover adhesive, plastic picks and perhaps some drivers maybe not. A new OEM rear cover seal.
A good phone repair shop can easily do this for you. Start there and see what you got.
The QC was solid on the N10+ Snapdragon but less so after especially on the S21U.
If the display needs to be replaced that should be the end of your problems with it.
Not perfect but what are you gonna do?
With Samsung, all phones it's best to wait 6 months and see what crops up. Otherwise it's more of a gamble.
I was indeed going to buy the note 10 plus back then but then i saw the n20 and all the advertisement and let myself into the hype.
Even bougth first a oneplus 8 pro but it got stolen in spain and i was refunded
Well going to try for one more day and see if it comes back to life,wich seems like a dream rigth now.
In last case will try a techician but its going to be expensive as this is a korean phone in europe.

May not be as bad as you think.
Shop around. Getting the right replacement parts is critical. I know on the 10+ the C port pcb, cam module, and obviously the mobo are different and not interchangeable, not sure about the display!
Lol, found out the hard way with the C port pcb, there are 2 variants for the Snapdragon! My C port wasn't bad but was replacing the battery so decided to do the C port for $20 more. No cell service, no internet... put the original one in, back in service. Rather irritating
Ricky tricky Sammy...
This seems to be a design fault so Wonda should honour a repair or replacement. I would pursue it with them.
I also have a N20U SD HK version bought from them but it's only 6 months old.
I take it their warranty is just one year then?
Yes its only one year. And i bougth last october
And the problem is that i live in europe, wonda mobile is from china.
I dont know if its a design flaw or update problem as the phone magicaly started to work witouth the screen theme i had but i puted it down and the screen once again went off.
The phone was working back again for 10 minutes and black out again.
So the screwn migth be good.
I got a message saying the one ui stoped working when i used dex.
Dex mode with a usb c hub now works, but i cant put the phone back to stock while in dex.
Its in portuguese language but what it says in the message is that a one ui error happened.
This after the screen black out again.
In dex i cant put firmware back to stock but can update the firmware.
This is just stupid a 1300 phone with a faulty screen or software problem.
Cant figure it out. As the touch isnt working while is conected to dex, only worked using a mouse and keyboard.
But the touch worked when the screen went back on even for 10 minutes.
So if it works on dex it cant be mobo or battery.
If its the screen i will be 400 euros in pain.
Who would guess this n20 purchsee on wonda mobile would be a nigthmare
Likely a hardware issue...

But how if it works in dex mode, everything works in dex mode, internet, cameras as well, games open, so the mobo cant be bad.
Guess the crap screen is gone for once, as it was only on for 10 minutes. Or maybe something disconected as i droped like 2 or 3 weeks ago but that cant be checked witouth opening.

When I said hardware I was implying the display.
It still could be a loose/bad connector as well.
The mobo's not entirely ruled out yet but a less likely candidate.
This seems to have happened to a lot of other people too, and some of them have said the display has come back on.
Samsung need to get a grip and offer some advice to affected cusomers.
For sure it seems the display is gone.
Samsung would replace the screen if it was bougth in Europe amd the screen had no damage.
Mine has a minor scratch and a very small mark due to a drop.
Anyway seems there wont be any fix, as the crap screen only worked for 10 minutes so no hope for it to be back on again
Samsung never again
I have a EKIY KK5 and it seems like my headunit needs to be powered on for about 3-4 minutes for CarLink to able to connect to AA on my Pixel 7.
Otherwise it just sits on "Connecting" unless I close and reopen it after some time has passed
Does anyone know a fix for this?
Seller gave me an update that isn't working.
It could be the other way round.
When I drive rental cars with Android Auto, my Motorola G41 connects in 20-40 seconds, My Samsung Galaxy A52 takes ages (minutes) to connect and sometimes even doesn't.
Sorry. Not an answer, but perhaps a clarification.
I don't believe so, because when I restart the headunit, I have to wait the ~3 minutes for it to be "ready". But once it connects the first time, I can close the app and it will reconnect quickly.
My S20 FE doesn't connect all together.
They gave me an update from November, I was just looking to see if someone had a newer APK or has the same problem.

I can confirm this: my backup phone runs Pixel Experience as a custom ROM, so basically plain Android. While my new phone runs Xiaomi's MIUI and that one connects and disconnects afterwards directly, no idea why....
It was working shortly when I went down the hill from wintersport area, but after I got back to the car. All of a sudden it would not work anymore: so could be related to Android Auto update, but also just be the specific phone having issues with Android Auto. Xiaomi is one of the brands, which has a lot of issues with Android Auto and it always takes a long time for either Google or Xiaomi to fix it.
