Help Losing Wifi/Ethernet Connection on MBox Android Tv from Easytone

svim
Could you provide more details about how your MBox is connected to your home network? Your reference to 'Ethernet/WiFi' indicates both wired (Ethernet cable) and wireless (WiFi) issues. Is it indeed a matter of trying both and neither are working out?
It would also help if to know more details about your home network -- do you have an ISP-supplied modem/router unit or do you have your own router? If you're using an Ethernet cable have you tried swapping it out with a different cable you know is good, or used a cable tester to check the cable? If WiFi, approximately how much distance is between your router and your MBox? Are you relying on a 2.4GHz or 5GHz band network, or a mix of both?
Don't rely solely on the fact that other devices are connecting to your home LAN without a problem, the issue you need to focus on is the connectivity problem between your MBox and your home LAN.

Random Unknown Notification

Just because you have your phone on silent doesn't mean it still won't vibrate... if you look at settings, sounds and notifications, notification mode, make sure mute is set as your default sound.
That way you'll get no vibration whatsoever...
Also, fwiw, lose the Facebook app and access it using your browser...

I dont have facebook anymore and my phone is definitely on silent, not vibrate. Nothing else is vibrating my phone and I went through all settings I could. It's happened 3 times today :(

Updating Verizon Tablet

ocnbrze
yeah if you go to settings>about phone>check for updates and there is no updates then you are good to go. unfortunately, for you.
zorb847 said:
I am not very knowledgeable about how tablets and phones work.
Is the OS provided by Verizon?
Should I be asking theses questions on a Verizon forum instead of an Android forum?
Is it possible to install OS from elsewhere that doesn't depend on Verizon?
It seems a shame to throw out a good working device that I use everyday just because it can't be updated.
Thank you for you replies

so the way it works with google and its android os is this:
android os is an operating system much like windows. every so often google will update its android os. each update is named after desserts alphabetically. it started with cupcake (not sure what happen to a or b) then eclair, froyo (frozen yogurt), gingerbread, honeycomb, ice cream sandwich, jellybean, kit-kat, lollipop, marshmellow, nougat, oreo, and now pie.

those are just the base os. each manufacturer and even carrier will add their spin to the os. they will add their own launcher which usually ads bloatware (unnecessary apps).

so yeah most likely your tablet will not have a pure android os, but rather something that either verizon or the manufacturer will add. most basic things will be very similar, just the feel might be slightly different.

if you checked and see if your tablet has an update and do not find one, then there is your answer. no updates are available. if there was one you would have found it there. most devices have a shelf life of about 3 years or so before support goes bye bye. once support is done, do not expect any more updates.

on some devices you can root it and install a newer android os provided that the developers have support for your device. these guys will have figured out a way to root it, install a custom recovery, and even create their own version of a custom rom.

i could go on, if you interested in learning about rooting and how that works, but your device does not have any backing of developers so that is not an option right now......it looks like your stuck with whatever android version is installed on your tablet.

Help AndroidTV Access Point

svim
If the hotspot utility only allows you to set up it's own separate WiFi network and there are no options to use it simply as an extension to your router's WiFi coverage, there's not much you can do. Which isn't out of the ordinary as a 'hotspot' isn't by design meant to be extender to existing WiFi coverage but primarily used to provide WiFi fed from a cellular signal. You need to have your router acting as the sole gateway to your LAN, so it's the only device providing IP addresses.
You mentioned not wanting to buy anything extra but if your existing hotspot software isn't configurable to your stated needs, perhaps you might want to reconsider that point? It's not even a matter where you need to spend a lot for a high-end router, a typical off-the-shelf router will suffice as a basic extender that will allow you a lot more flexibility to set up both routers to work with each other:

The code does not work in the Thread by pressing a button

mcpixel
I'm studying android and stumbled upon a problem! After reading this article in the section Worker Threads: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/processes-and-threads.html
My code
Java: 
public void click(View view) {
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                final TextView t = findViewById(R.id.textView);
                t.setText("Wait...");
                for(int i=0;i<999999;i++)
                    Log.e("test", ""+System.currentTimeMillis());
                t.post(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        t.setText("Complete");
                    }
                });
            }
        });
    }
Now when I press a button, nothing happens even the text does not change and there are no mistakes. I don’t know what to do, help somebody!
