Have a 4k Globmall 7.1 Android TV Box

by TechDoctorUK

Hey guys, I purchased the above box from Amazon: http://amzn.eu/dNWoZ0F

Everything is working fine except when I try and play games like:

  • Subway surfers
  • Traffic Racer

I am not able to click on start to play the games.

I have tried using this airmouse: http://amzn.eu/fzrzaCr I have tried plugging in a USB mouse and I have also tried this game controller: http://a.co/aGH5RI8

Really don't understand I am unable to click the start button in these games?

Does anyone have any idea?

thanks for reading

This sub discusses devices that run the Android TV operating system. It's a fork of Android that Google has optimized for the living room and partnered with OEMs to create devices like the ASUS Nexus Player, Xiaomi Mi Box, and NVIDIA Shield TV that have full software and customer support.

Your box runs regular touchscreen Android. You need a sub for Android boxes.

The only games you can play are ones with controller support. Remotes and controllers cant simulate touch commands.

This is what you get for purchasing a cheap Android box instead of a box running AndroidTV. You see, it's not a "4K Globall 7.1 Andoid TV Box," It's a "Globmall 4K Android 7.1 TV Box." Android 7.1, not AndroidTV.

The root cause is that the touch screen and the mouse are treated as different devices, a lot of apps will decide to ignore that difference and work with a mouse as well, but others won't, a lot of them games like that. You'd likely not want to play those types with a mouse anyway. If you're rooted you could probably find an app to map touch gestures to gamepad events
