Thank you for letting us know @Sherinonper.


We want to make sure you aren't having to troubleshoot this error every time you turn your tablet on. Try putting a stop to this by following these steps:

  1. From the home screen, select the Settings icon.
  2. Go to Advanced Features.
  3. Switch off TV Mode.
  4. Restart your device by pressing and holding the Side and Volume Down buttons, then select Restart > Restart.

We also recommend you try clearing the cache of the apps you're using with TV mode, which helps performance and acts as basic troubleshooting.


Please share the results of this with us here.
