Z10 Wakes to Home Screen

I just installed a Z10 Pro at a dear friends place and I noticed that when we shut it down (sleep mode) and wake it up a little while later, it goes to the home screen instead of the last channel that we were on when it went to sleep. It does not go through the boot menu (displaying the "Formuler Z10" boot up). It just goes to the home screen, where we now have to select MYTVOnline2 app to get back to the TV.

At home I have the Z8 and it will always wake to where it was before it went to sleep. Whatever channel I was on. It doesn't matter if a few minutes has passed or a few days since I turned it off.

I have tried going through the Z10 settings to see what is causing this. I have also tried searching through this entire web-site and Googling for any assistance.

Believe me, I would only create a new post asking a question as a last resort, to try to find an answer.

I have tried setting the default startup app to MTVO2, and that sort of works in such as it still goes to the home screen then automatically goes into the TV app, but it still has to load it as if it is the first time that you went here. My Z8 at home does not have the startup app selected, it just goes to the last channel when you turn on the box.

Is the Z10 setup differently that it will only wake to the home screen?

Thank you

Did you try in Launcher settings (homepage) set mol2 as starting app?

Yeah, as I mentioned in my post above, when I try that then it goes through the entire loadup as in:

- Z10 turns on

- Goes to home page

- Launches MOL2 app

- Loads TV channels

Then it goes to the last channel that I was watching before shutting down.

On my Z8, I do not have a launcher app installed, and when I press the power button it goes immediately to the last channel I was on before going into sleep mode. All this happens in about 2-3 seconds on my Z8.

I found another thread on this forum site having the same issues but backwards from mine. His Z8 is slow but his Z10 is fast. Opposite of mine.

MOL2 start automatically?

A few quick questions:

With Z8 when powering off the unit i had it set to go to standby mode. When starting again I had to click on MOL2 and the portal would start to load with that percentage increase before it was completely loaded.

With Z10 i also have the shut off mode set to standby, but here, when i start the unit it will go directly to MOL2 and load the channel i last used very quick, like less than a second. No percentage loading of portal...

I do have the setting in MOL2 to load the last…

I just want to know why the Z10 that I installed has to go through the entire cycle to go into the tv channels, whereas my Z8 goes there instantly.

Chipset from two different manufacturer, firmware and Android OS. There are big differences between the OS7 on Z8 and OS10 on Z10.

Well I guess that's it then. I will tell her that it can't be changed and she will just have to live with it.

Thanks again to everyone who replied.

Should use Standby instead of power off, power consumption only 0,5.

I do have it set for Standby.

When I turn the power on the Z10, it doesn't go through the "Formuler Z10" boot screen, so I know it is on Standby, but it goes directly into the "Home Screen". Now I have to select MOL2 to go to the TV channels.

My Z8 is also on Standby, and when I power it on, it immediately goes to where it was when I shut it off. In my case it is usually to the TV channels.

If I was at the home screen when I shut down then it will go back there when I turn it on.

If I was at the VOD screen when I shut down then it will go back there when I turn it on.

But the Z10, no matter where I am when I turn it off will always go to the home screen when I power it on.

It's funny because the link I posted above, the guy has the same issue but backwards from mine. His Z10 works perfectly and his Z8 boots only to the home screen.

I am just trying to figure out why both of them can't do the same thing.

Only for understanding. You are in MOL2, click on standby and later power on, you are on home menu?

If yes, do factory reset and set fresh.

Yes, that is exactly what happens. I will go to her place to do a reset. Thank you.

To be clear, this is the one where you hold down the button in the IR port and power up?
