Good Morning all.
On my quest to personally try and resolve some issues with the GTV from my own perspective I have found the following to help greatly:
GTV BT1 remote:
Problem: sometimes non responsive when GTV has been in standby for a period of time, sometimes generally unresponsive even with full battery.
Mytvonline2:
Problem: sometimes unresponsive alongside BT1 remote. Doesn’t always wake from standby on rare occasions when scheduled recording is set. On occasions, slow at responding to commands
VPN:
Problem: With VPN connected, the GTV sometimes goes from visuals on the screen to a black screen and then back to visuals, this happens on a cycle of two times periodically and each time it happens, the VPN key icon on screen sometimes disappears but sometimes remains. I assume it’s a GTV issue because it does not happen on Z8.
I have found a solution to both the BT1 remote being non responsive and MTOL2 in standby, however this method has also assisted with the VPN issue but hasn’t eradicated it, but is a positive improvement.
Solution:
On the GTV Home Screen go to
Settings > apps > special app access > energy optimisation
Now locate each app and toggle them off.
So I turned off. Bluetooth & Bluetooth remote mytvonline2 and express vpn.
Once you’ve done that to back to using your device as normal.
I will go through each setting in energy optimisation when I get time and see if any further improvements can be seen on the GTV.
Basically this feature is more suitable to smartphones because you want to save battery but as the GTV is mains powered, this shouldn’t be an issue.
I hope some changes help you too.
