Help Connection issues with new phone

nu2andy
You don't state what comp OS you are using?
My Redmi Note 7 connects to my W10 comp almost immediately and is in the charging mode.
If I swipe down on the phone screen a message shows the USB connection is charging
When I Tap on that message another screen shows the options to:
No data transfer
File Transfer
Transfer photos (PTP)
or Cancel.
I would imagine File Transfer would allow your phone to operate the way you want.

What is the tiny light?

nu2andy
There is a Manual available for the Note7. I always do this and print out the relevant pages when I obtain a new phone.
https://i01.appmifile.com/webfile/g...tphone/User_Guide/mi_phone_user_manual_EN.pdf
https://www.mi.com/global/service/userguide
You should be able to search out what you want from these 2 links.

Further to your question about the small White LED on the bottom of the screen, it stays on while the battery is charging and goes out when the battery reaches 100% charge.

No one could prevent another ‘WannaCry-style’ attack, says DHS official

MoodyBlues
Anyone who says "No one could prevent another ‘WannaCry-style’ attack" is a f...blanking moron. :o

As I've said before, the WannaCry attack targeted windows, and only windows, computers. The clueless people in charge of deciding which OS to use in their companies brought it on themselves.

So did they wise up? Have they switched to a safer, more secure OS? If not, they get no sympathy from me when they're hit again. Perhaps paying ransom to lowlife scum a few times will prompt them to better educate themselves on safer OSes. Until then, too bad, so sad!

Help Need help with running Youtube app on MeCool BB2 Pro Android 6.0 Tv-box

One day when starting Youtube app I got the message that I need to update the app and the next one was that the latest version is not compatible with the device anymore. So i intalled older version, menaged to open it, but now videos doesnt load at all, there are stuck at buffering forever.

I've tried installing couple of even older versions but it didnt help at all. Same thing happens in Chrome when I try to watch youtube via the website.
The built in update app says the device is already running on latest software.

Is there a way of using device with Android 6 to work with Youtube ? Some modified version of the app maybe ?

Also does youtube check server side which version of app is trying to access it, then and allows only latest clients as a form of forcing people to buy new gear ?

Thanks

I think the answer was in your first sentence. "I got the message that I need to update the app"

It's not really trying to force force people to buy new gear? It's not as if YouTube makes $$$$ from sales of whatever it is TV boxes. YT makes most of its bucks from ads.

Maybe YT changed protocols, could be older versions of the YT app had security issues, that needed fixing and updating. Those are often reasons why services may force you to update client apps.

If Chrome doesn't work, try a different web browser, like say Firefox. Latest versions of Firefox still run quite happily on Android 6 AFAIK.

As for updating your Mecool BB2 Pro. Apparently it was updated Android to 7.1. Could be the update needs to be flashed manually using a PC? Check with the manufacturer's tech support.
