i really like it so far but i cant seem to figure out when i cast a show to the onn 4k pro box where to locate the cast on the tv itself, it shows up on my computer as casting to it but i cant find it on the tv
Thank you for the good demo.
I hope you can provide your opinion on the following question/concern.
I could not find an answer online, product support, Walmart support.
The Storage shows Internal Storage 23GB. The specs state 32GB! Why the discrepancy?
I have not installed anything yet and it says 23GB. Where are the missing 9GB?
Likely the operating system/factory apps are taking up the 9gb. Same thing on Firesticks...the os takes up a lot of the advertised internal storage.
If you uninstall an APP, does it automatically take those streams away from the 'live tv' searches?
I set this box up yesterday and am pretty happy with it except for one issue: when I turned off my television, the box turned off with it, regardless of whether I had the power settings set not to turn the power off. This is a problem if I have Tivimate set to record something later in the day, as it would mean always leaving my television on. I finally realized it was my Samsung tv's CEC setting, so I turned it off. However, now my soundbar doesn't turn on with the tv, and my Samsung remote, which was working with the Onn box, no longer works with it anymore. Has anyone encountered this issue and maybe discovered a workaround? I'm replacing an old Nvidia Shield that appears to be on its last legs with the Onn box, and it's been so much easier to use except for this CEC problem. I can't find any CEC settings to change on the Onn, do they exist?
I have a big question. After you set the device up on one TV can you then move it to another TV and use it? In my case I set it up on a TV in a bedroom TV to test it out but maybe in the future I move it to the living room TV. Do I have to reset it up or will it just work when I connect it to the other TV?
Yeah, you can definitely move it. No problem aside from the name you may have given it during setup.
Sling is available on my ONN 4k Pro Streaming Box.
Interesting? In the Play store? What country are you in?
Can we download Tivimate if so, can u add storage?
@1maniemar can definitely add storage easily via USB port. Haven't tried Tivimate but any Google TV compatible app will work on the onn. box. If it's not in play store you can easily sideload.
@1maniemar yes , running tivimate on my new Onn 4k pro .... no issues whatsoever
I installed an old version of analiti because it would not install from the google play store. Once it was installed the google play store updated analiti to the latest version. I am curious if Sling does the same for you. Would be nice if so. :p
Almost as if there's a restriction on the install but not actually maintaining the app via the play store. 🤔
@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt Problem with the 4K Pro, Speaker only works when u disconnect the HDMI Cord, also some people Including me have the Basic Black remote with No Backlight!!
turn off auto updates in the google settings
Did anyone find a mouse app link that works properly for this device?
Have you tried mouse toggle? That usually works with everything.
What about getting my local TV channels
Well, there is no tuner on this box so you can't attach an antenna. You'll have to either use the antenna connected to your TV or pay for a streaming service that offers local channels (RUclips TV, Hulu, etc)
UPdate yr wyze routers & were y able to connect wifi6 with onn ?
Not currently using the wyze router :( I'm currently on Eero
@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt well did video about said y would update about it
What type of browser does it have
Google TV does not include a browser by default. You can sideload Chrome or other browser
The last question is this. Why did it ask which apps I wanted to use if it was going to pre-install some apps anyways? I didn't request the Disney Plus to be added but it was already there when the system opened up and installed. kind of pointless then.
How can I add Google Play Store to the Home Screen menu?
What do you mean? Isn't it there already? If not, is it in your app menu?
I am considering an ONN device which would you recommend?
Def go with the 4k pro IMHO
@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt thank you!
I have a second question. When I press the off button the only thing it does is turn off the device but not the TV so I have to use the remote for the TV to turn it off. How does this work? It's just turning off the device not the TV but I have a TCL Roku TV.
This is tv dependant. Most modern TV's will operate the way you want it to but you need to make sure CEC (sometimes it's called something else by different manufacturers) is turned on, on both the TV and the Google box.
I had the same question and found the solution. When you first set it up, it asks you if you want to continue with current remote set up or change settings. "Change Settings" takes you through a wizard that lets you test the On/Off buttons using different signals until it works. The same for Up/Dn volume keys.
After set up, you can change the button to shut down the TV by going to: Settings > Remote & Accessories > Set up remote buttons. Let me know 😊
is there a developers option? If so,how do you activate it.
The developer mode is the same for all android TV boxes. Go to settings / about / click on the BUILD option several times until the message "You are now a developer" appears on the screen.
Why didn't you open the USB drive if it supports the NTFS format? What I see is "SEAGATE USB DRIVE IS SAFELY EJECTED," meaning it doesn't support the NTFS format.
Yeah, I hear ya, I was trying to keep the video to a reasonable length but should have gone deeper into the hard drive stuff. Perhaps another video specifically about that?
@@TechItBeforeYouWreckItyes please!
How does is handle Steam Link?
Personally haven't tried it yet. Maybe others have? The processor and memory should be more than enough to handle it like a boss.
Third question unfortunately. I have a Google Nest But I just installed this ONN 4K Pro device. Will there be a conflict when I ask a question to the Google Nest? Will both respond?
They are smart. Only one will respond. I have multiple googles in my home and it always tries to use the one that you are closer to
This became a problem for me with my android phone because my phone is usually at arms reach from me 90% of the time it wakes up the commands from my phone so I ended up disabling the hands free option on the device and just use my phone if I need to. Otherwise I just use the mic on the remote.... I'm surprised google doesn't have options to assign different wake up words for each device like amazon has...you would think all it would take is a simple firmware update.
i would not trust google to listen to my conversations and my family's 24/7. You don't know what they can do with it now with AI and deepfakes, anyone could imitate your voice with what is stored on google servers; especially if they get hacked. And they will one day, nothing is 100% secure.
That box gets hot real quick
@taiwanarnold that's strange because in a video I watched recently the guy said the box did not run hot at all.
I have not had any heat issues. Wonder if you're running an rogue app that is causing the box to heat up? Are you doing intensive decoding? There has to be something beyond the normal use that's causing this to heat up.
Stop lying kid
been running it for the last 3hrs.
Warm, yes.
Hot? No.
@TomMcgrath-ub8uv that's the impression I've had. Warm is to be expected especially when you don't have big loud fans.
Does it stop streams freeze
Have not had that problem. Which app specifically??
Sling tv loads from the play store- loads correctly on the 20 $ version of Onn 4k box
Doest make sense why it's not working on this new one? 🤔
what about side loading bbciplayer and itvx
Haven't tried it but you can sideload any apk on this.
Awesome walk thru and review.My find your remote doesn't work.Any suggestion? Thanks
🤔 haven't had any issues. Do you have the same remote as me? I've heard there are 2 different remotes shipping. Have you tried disconnecting and repairing?
@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt I'll have to check that option.My hey google works fine and other functions.To repair,is that in settings/remotes?
@rsturdy4045 in the remote settings you can disconnect the remote and then re-pair it. It should also repair when you power cycle it. Might be worth a hard reset too
Yes same remote
@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt Thanks Tech I'll give that a try
Need!
should have shown how to allow unknown apps ( sideloading) to help people who are new to android
hows the 4k
Looks awesome to me with the HDR and Dolby vision. But TBH, I'm not a video geek so I wouldn't know the little things to look for. IMO it's as good as any 4k I've seen come out of an Android TV box. (I'm using a Shield as my full time)
I HAVE AN ISSUE WHERE STUFF GOES OFF SCREEN. EXAMPLE. WHEN I CLICK THE GEAR ON THE RIBBON UP TOP. I CAN SEE THE WIFI AND BLUE TOOTH SYMBOL. BUT NOT THE WORDS NOR DO I SEE THE SETTING OR ACCOUNT OPTION THEY ARE OFF SCREEN. ON THE RIGHT SIDE FOR INSTANCE UNDER FOR YOU. ON THE RUclips THE YU ARE OFFSCREEN. ON THE DOCTOR WHO ONE DOC IS OFF SCREEN. YOU GET THE IDEA
I ALREADY CHANGED THE RESOLUTION AND THAT DID NOTHING
@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt. ANY IDEA? EVEN DID A FACTORY RESET
Have you tried with a different TV or monitor? Could be a monitor issue.. not an issue with the box itself?
@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt ITS THE ONLY THING IT DOES IT ON. NOT MY XBOX NOT MY FIRESTICK
Update does sling work for you normally now ?
It worked fine after I sideloaded it. Is that the question?
@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt have you tried it now is there any change since this video , it can’t still be having that problem right.?
You mean being missing from play store? I can check later today
Just checked. Sling is now available in the all store on the onn 4k pro.
@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt nice thank you
I wuld like to know how to sideload multiple streaming boxes or firesticks at same time no one has a answer ,i asked so many people help please i know how to sideload ,how to sideload multiple at a time answers any one .
Not sure that's possible? Perhaps a 3rd party app would like you do that to remote install new apps. Otherwise you have to sideload one at a time
sideloading requires changing permissions and installing apks etc, maybe with a script or macro program. You'd have to find a way to hook up several android devices maybe to pc to do so and have an automation program. Thing is I'm not sure how much demand their is for sideloading many android devices at once given its relatively easy to do one at a time and don't hear of anyone really needing to do many all at once given its pretty straightforward unlike jailbreaking. I mean in theory there might be a way but practically not sure this is feasible. Who knows maybe I'm mistaken. It really doesn't take that long to literally sideload on a android device to justify hooking up to a pc to automate running on several at once. I mean how many devices are you having to sideload at once? you running a business doing so? even then it couldn't be more than a few a day and taking maybe 10-15 minutes top to do so. Unless your running a development environment or business managing multiples devices ie: mdm where you need to deploy many copies on many devices i'm not really seeing this as practical but yeah i don't doubt theres a a script somewhere that does so.
I'm having issues with losing internet for a second when watching a recorded basketball game. Have you ever experienced this
So weird. Have not had this problem. Which streaming app?
@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt RUclips tv
ARE y wireless or wired? IF wireless check yr speeds. lol
@russelldye5506 wireless. (Wifi 5) Just did a speed test and got 251Mpbs down / 213Mbps up and I have a 1G/up/down fiber connection.
@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt my fiber internet gets 128 download. So I think it could be my hdmi input or the box itself. My tv lost hdmi 2 port and I have service man coming to replace it as my tv is still under warranty. I have 3 other hdmi inputs that work. I don't have any issues with my firetv cube on hdmi port 4
Can the star button on the remote open sideloaded apps like Tivimate? Or is it for official google play store apps only?
Good question. Let me try that out and see if it can work with sideload apps
Yes it can, the 1st thing I did was assign tivimate to the star button.
Wish it had usb c port.
For power? Obviously the standard USB port is for data
I have a few seconds of buffering while watching some TV shows. Maybe a update will fix this issue.😊
Weird but super dependent on your 'net connection and which streaming service you're using. Likely not the Onn's fault
i don't know WHY Google Chromecast device , Google don't upgrade it ...I love Mine since i bought it almost 4 years ago when they released it & toss my Rokuos in Garbage ..i dont know why no Upgrade, BUT i heard they gonna come with soft wear upgrade soon!
I bought 1, and took it back.
Wow. Why?
@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt The video card is not good, blurry picture.
@jesuschristcannotchangenev6031 interesting. Have not had that experience.
Is the Facebook app available on this device
Otro parlante Google!? Terrible el Google 🤦🤦
USB doesn't work, people trying to make it work with hard drives for over a year since the previous model, the worst, I took it back to Walmart & kept my roku ultra
It WON'T read NTFS, look more closely
That drive must have been fat32. I swore it was ntfs. 😡 My mistake.
Usually the device can detect ntfs or fat32 to know if it can read a file you have to open it unfortunately the reviewer didn't open an file
