Hello we have a formuler Z7+ and wondering are we able to use an external HDD for recordings and storage? Thank you very much

Hello SAM this is bill. A little confused. I thought you said we could use a Fat 32 SD card Sandisk for recording.? My wife doesn’t want to buy HD because this card is fairly new. I have it in and it shows up in storage as shared storage or SD card for movement of only some apps. Haven’t tried recording yet!!!! Thanks for your help. Hope all is well. 😀😀

Hello I just wanted to let you know too it shows SD card and it’s weird some of the apps not all give option to move to SD card or Shared Storage. Hope I’m doing this right. My wife doesn’t want to buy new one until we try this one which is new. Thanks again. Take csre

Hello I ended up using a SD card fat 32. I then went into android settings and it’s now it shows shared storage. Wife didn’t want to buy HD until we use this thing that we had sitting around. Is this ok to do since they do say you can use SD card? Thanks for your patience with a NOOB like me. It’s frustrating. Take care. 😀

Hi no offense taken lol. I’m well aware of this deficiency of mine. Lol. Had it for a while and it’s extremely frustrating. Anyway we have a 1 TB hard drive Fat 32 pre formatted. Since it’s pre formatted will it work and should do we still need to do anything on the computer? I’m also still confused because a couple weeks ago someone said I need to change the default storage setting but we can’t because there is no option like with SD card where you click it. It does show the hard drive in there and it’s already checked and can’t be changed. Lastly I’m just a little confused because does everything go in the hard drive since it would be default internal storage and can we clear the hard drive of unwanted stuff like you do with the box cache itself? Your correct I need to learn this before anything else. Lol. With the fire box and kodi I knew my way around really well but still trying to learn this!!!! Thanks for your patience and help. Very much appreciated. And I’m sorry about other post but I’m also still trying to learn this app😀😀

I’m sorry I didn’t ask you if we want to record outside of the portal like in one of our tv subs would we then need like ES or something? My family would love to record something different then what they’re watching and a couple of our subs now have full recording features. That’s why we’re so confused too about this. Thank you again take care and be safe.

Hi what is a USB key? Can we is just external hard drive 1TB or is the key way better? Can it be fat 32 pre formatted or pre formatted NTFS? We are scared lol because we’ve never done this. What is the easiest way to format and how? See I just stink at this lol. I tread somewhere a fella was using a 1tb USB is that the same thing? Lastly I have a tv sub that allows us to record different channels then what your watching. Will this way allow us to do this and I see people talking about putting on ES file to remove recordings Thanks again for your help and patience. We appreciate this way more then you probably realize. 😀😀

Hi You guys we just tried the SD card and changed android settings under default storage and switched it to SD card internal but we don’t see anything. On ES I see where it says SD card next to internal in upper right side of page. We rebooted but don’t see where it’s doing anything with SD? Thanks you guys for the help. Appreciate it more then you know. 😀😀

HI yoI guys thank you and sorry but yes I do get comfused with this stuff. Someone told me right now until firmware update I can only record with SD set to internal under android settings-storage. This is why I confuse myself so much. Lol. So for right now which way would be the most simple way for me to record until update as I’m sure I’ll need more help lol. And do we or not have to set up anything in ES file ( I hope not ),? Do I

Just change the android setting to SD as internal or the way explained above? I’m so sorry but it stinks being this bad at something lol. Thanks you guys for all the help. Take care. 😀😀

Hello everyone is the update in August going to allow us to record to external? And move apps? Thank you and take care.

Hi sorry for late reply. So until then we can only record to internal with external device? How would a hard drive work? Someone told me I have to go in android settings and set it to SD card. I guess there is s setting in there. Thanks for all the help.

Sorry forgot to ask? I know Sam said forget moving apps to external as it might confuse me lol. But I’m having issue with space filling up and it would be awesome to be able to move just a couple. Is there something faster or better then a SD card and can I buy one on amazon that says it’s formattec already to fat32? It says it’s for fire devices like tablets. Will that work? Thanks again. You guys have been so patient and helpful with someone like me. Appreciated more then you know. 🙂🙂

Hi sorry for late reply thanks for info with the patch will we be able to move apps to external is what you’re saying? Also to record now I have a Sandisk 56 GB SD card Fat 32. Do I need to change that option in settings to SD card for recording ? I’n other words is there anything I have to do in settings or on the box? I’m sorry but I’m terrible at this. Lol. Please handle with kid gloves. Lol. Thanks for all the help you have given us😀

Hello Sam. Sorry for late reply. And sorry for multiple postings. Don’t know what the heck I’m doing. I really stink at any tech stuff but I’m trying to learn as I go. The space issue is a real problem too. First is there any way we could try to move a few apps if we buy a high end device ? Second. My wife and kid want to record to external or however we can. Don’t know anything about this stuff especially bad lol. So yeah Space is a big issue and don’t know how to set up for recording. So yeah whatever we have to buy for it we will. It’s important for family stuff. Thank you Sam for all the help and work you do. Very much appreciated.

Hello I’m sorry for late reply. Been sick. We want to use external device ( whichever is fastest and able to move apps over and for recordings). A USB Hard Drive or whatever is best for the families needs. Thank you Sam for all the help. Very much appreciated.

I know I’m sorry and I’m sorry for all the questions. I’m serious i below beginner level. Lol. Thank you.

Hi first of I’m sorry for multiple messages. Still don’t reslly know how to post new for help. Thanks for respondimg. Are you saying use external device as internal storage? See I’m getting a little tight on space would some stuff move over automatically? There is a setting in android settings where you can switch to SD card. Do I need to switch that? You said to format the device I see on amazon they have some that are pre formatted. Are those ok they are Fat 32? Do I need to do I need ES file explorer? I’m just not sure what else I have to do!!!! Which device is best to use for speed and what is the max storage I can buy? Can you please recommend one? I know the SD is the less expensive way. I feel so bad for all the questions and I may have more. Lol. Thank you so much for the help. Appreciated more then you know🙂🙂

Hello I’m a below novice at this. I’m sorry but I sent out multiple posts because I don’t know how and where to make new post. Please handle below beginner. What is the best device to use for recordings and moving apps too? If you can please tell me how I do this in simple instructions as it takes a while if not for me to understand? Also how do I set this up so I can record and move apps? The external internal words confuse me lol. I’m really sorry for being so in tech savvy. Thank you for your help. Very much appreciated

Hello thanks for the help. I’m a novice lol. What kind of external storage device should I use? Can I move apps to external storage? And how do I set up external storage. ? I’m letting you know handle with kid gloves because it takes a bit for me to understand. Lol. Thank you for all the help. Really appreciate it🙂

Hello can somebody please help me. I have the extreme app off google that I’m using for paid tv sub which has a recording option. First can someone please tell me what kind and type of external storage am I supposed to use for recordings and when I buy from amazon how can I tell if it’s Fat 32 or I think NFTS? I’m terrible at this stuff. Also how can I move random apps to the external storage device? Thank you very much for the help. Very much appreciated.

Hello can someone please help me? Is there a way to download APKS on formuler Z7+? I have fire DL but some APKS don’t have a code. I’m looking for a good downloader if possible. It keeps telling me to unable unknown sources like on other android boxes but don’t see that anywhere? Thank you for the help again. Take care.

Hello thank you. Concerning the codecs for formuler I don’t understand the instructions. I am probably below novice. And I don’t have ARC on my tv. I have HDMI cable from box to soundbar and HDMI from soundbar to tv. Someone else told me to set up this way. Is this correct? Thank you again for the assistance.

Hello what are my settings supposed to be on video color space and HDMI deep color. I have a 78 inch 1080 HD DLP tv? Thank you very much and we really appreciate the help.

Hello again. Well I really messed something up. First I have a Mitsubishi DLP big screen tv. Whenever I would watch a movie or exiting I kept seeing the format changing back and fourth. So dummy me hit the resolution button and a message came up about changing the HDR wide ciolor and resolution. So I tried doing that too. Now I have invalid format on TV with no sound or picture when I turn box on. Thank you very much for the help again. Take care.

Hello thank you for add. I’m new and have no clue what I’m doing. Never used forum setting before. I’m sorry. I tried to post for help but don’t know where it went or where I check if it got answered? I have the netflix app on the Formuler and having issues scrolling leftright on Netflix front page where all the rows of shows and movies are. I can scroll up/down just not left/right in that page only. Am I not doing something correctly. Thank you very much for the help
