  1. Hi, I’m signing play done but it not connect. On mibox pro. Marker helper not found id android. Please help. Thank

  2. Not working for me. I mean, I did every step, everything happened as described until step 10, sometimes, when I press Activate is loading endlessly, probably because Googl Play can not connect to internet every time, finally I restart the device or just close all aps until Google Play can acces the internet (the problem is not the device or the wireless, the other apps have internet), I manage to activate it. But after activation, it still doesn’t show compatibility with all apps or they just don’t work: I installed Youtube, mange to login in, when I play something it stop after 1 second, it just says it was an error, that’s all; I managed to install HBO GO, I connected to my account, when I plaied to first movie, it stopped after a few second, and since then, the app doesn’t open anymore, it’s just black screen even after reinstalation by Google play.I even changed the location and the operator. No change, I used USA/ROMANIA; NEXUS 7, GALAXY S5, ZPERIA Z ULTRA, T&T MOBILE, VODAFONE, still not functional Youtube or HBO GO. I can see the device activated in Device Manager from Google…
