APP HELP

1. Open the official Phone App page and select Download the Phone App.
2. Open the downloaded APK.
3. If prompted, allow your browser or file manager to install unknown apps.
4. On Samsung devices, temporarily disable Settings → Security and privacy → Auto Blocker if installation is blocked.
5. Select Install, then open Monty Sounds Radio.

After installation: turn Auto Blocker back on and disable the unknown-app permission again.

The APK is distributed directly from the official Monty Sounds Radio website rather than an app store. Android therefore asks you to approve the source. Only use the official links and leave Google Play Protect enabled.

• Delete the failed download and download the APK again.
• Check that the filename ends in .apk.
• Confirm the phone uses Android 8.0 or later.
• Check available storage, unknown-app permission and Samsung Auto Blocker.

• Check the media volume.
• Try both Wi-Fi and mobile data.
• Close and reopen the app.
• Check whether the station plays on the Monty Sounds Radio website.
• Restart the phone if necessary.

Allow Monty Sounds Radio to operate in the background and exclude it from aggressive battery optimisation if your phone provides that setting. Keep its Android playback notification enabled.

Track information refreshes periodically and may pause during a temporary network problem. Confirm the phone is online, leave the app open briefly and try again. Playback may continue while track information reconnects.

Download the latest APK from the official Phone App page and install it over the existing version. You do not normally need to uninstall the current app first.

You can install the TV App using a TV browser, a USB drive, or a laptop with Android Debug Bridge (ADB). Choose the method supported by your Android TV or Google TV.

1. Open a browser on the TV.
2. Visit montysoundsradio.com/apps/apps-tv/.
3. Select Download the TV App.
4. Open the APK from downloads or a TV file manager.
5. Allow that app to install unknown apps, then select Install.

After installation: disable the unknown-app permission again.

Do not allow the television to erase a drive containing files you need. Some televisions recognise only particular drive formats or treat removable storage as internal storage. Safely remove the drive and use the TV-browser or laptop/ADB method instead.

1. Connect the TV and laptop to the same network.
2. Enable Developer options and the available debugging option on the TV.
3. Find the TV IP address and install Android SDK Platform Tools.
4. Run adb connect TV-IP-ADDRESS:5555.
5. Approve the request on the TV.
6. Run adb install -r monty-sounds-radio-tv-v1.0.0.apk.

Disable debugging afterwards.

• Approve the debugging message on the TV.
• Run adb disconnect TV-IP-ADDRESS:5555 and reconnect.
• Confirm both devices use the same network.
• Turn debugging off and on if the approval message does not appear.

Open the full Apps list and look for Monty Sounds Radio TV. Some televisions place newly installed or sideloaded apps at the end. Restart the TV if it does not appear immediately.

• Check the television and sound-system volume.
• Confirm the TV is online.
• Select Play with the directional pad and centre button.
• Close and reopen the app.
• Test the station website and restart the TV if necessary.

Download the latest TV APK and install it over the existing app. With ADB use adb install -r monty-sounds-radio-tv-v1.0.0.apk. The -r option replaces the installed version.
