Hi there! I see you’re having an issue with the Sling app on your Cricket Android phone where the audio works but the video shows a green screen and freezes the phone. That definitely sounds like something that needs fixing.

To help me best, could you please tell me:
- Have you tried restarting the phone or the app since this started happening?
- Did the issue start after an app update or phone update?
- Is your Sling app updated to the latest version available on the Play Store?

Meanwhile, here’s a step-by-step troubleshooting plan we can try together:

1. Restart Your Phone: Sometimes just rebooting can clear up video glitches.
2. Clear Sling App Cache:
- Go to your phone’s Settings > Apps > Sling.
- Tap Storage and then Clear Cache.
3. Force Stop and Reopen the Sling App:
- In the same App settings, tap Force Stop.
- Relaunch the app fresh.
4. Check for Sling App Updates:
- Open the Google Play Store.
- Search for Sling and see if an update is available; if yes, update it.
5. Reinstall the Sling App:
- Uninstall the Sling app completely.
- Restart your phone.
- Then reinstall the app from the Play Store.
6. Check your Internet Connection: Ensure your mobile data or Wi-Fi is stable and fast enough for streaming.

If after all these steps the video still shows a green screen and freezes the phone, there could be a device-specific compatibility or a known bug with the Android 10 version on Cricket phones, as some users have reported similar issues that sometimes require further updates or patches from Sling1 6 [10].

Could you let me know which of these you have tried? I’ll help you with the next steps based on that!

I tried all of those, doesnt work. Ph is Android System 15

Thanks for letting me know you’ve already tried the common steps and that your phone is running Android 15. Since the issue persists and you are experiencing green screen video freezing, it sounds like there may be a compatibility or software-level conflict with Sling on Android 15.

Here are some additional steps tailored for Android 15 devices running Sling:

1. Sign Out and Sign Back In:
- Open Sling, go to Settings, and sign out of your account.
- Close the app completely and reopen it, then sign back in. This can sometimes reset streaming sessions.

2. Disable Hardware Overlays:
- Android 15 introduced some graphical changes that can conflict with video playback.
- Enable Developer Options if you haven’t: Go to Settings > About phone > Tap "Build number" 7 times.
- Back in Settings, go to Developer Options > Scroll to "Disable HW overlays" or “Turn off hardware overlays” and enable this.
- Restart Sling and test video playback.

3. Check for System Updates:
- Go to Settings > System > System updates and ensure your phone is fully updated beyond Android 15’s initial release – some patches improve media playback.

4. Test on a Different Network:
- Since network issues can sometimes cause strange video playback (green screen might be a symptom), try switching from mobile data to Wi-Fi or vice versa.

5. Report to Sling Support:
- Since this might be a bug related to Android 15 compatibility, reporting it to Sling’s development team can help push fixes in future updates.
- You can contact them at [email protected] with details about the issue and your device model.

One more thing — sometimes, sideloading an older version of the Sling app that is known to work can help until an official fix is released, but that requires caution and only if you’re comfortable with manual app installs.

If you want, I can guide you step-by-step through any of the above. How does that sound? Are you able to try disabling hardware overlays or signing out/in first?

Unfortunately, I can not turn on Developer Mode. Cricket won't allow. I will use provided link to contact Sling. Thanks.

Thanks for letting me know about the Developer Mode restriction on your Cricket device. Based on what I found, Cricket Wireless has a policy where they lock Developer Options on certain phones, especially newer models or specific builds like the Moto G Power 2025 series, for a period of months or until the device is fully unlocked from the carrier. This is why you might be unable to enable Developer Mode even with the usual method of tapping the Build Number multiple times1 2.

Unfortunately, this means the hardware overlay disabling workaround for your video issue may not be feasible on your phone right now while it's locked by Cricket. Since you plan to contact Sling support, that’s definitely the best next step to inform them about the Android 15 compatibility and Cricket’s Developer Options restrictions.

If you’re open to it, I can help guide you through gathering information about your device model and error details to include when contacting Sling, which often helps prioritize and speed up bug fixes. Would you like some help with that?
