Update: both Netflix and youtube apk can be installed, but exit when you start them because not supported by device. TH-cam works through the browser. netflix doesn't.
Hello Derrick and thanks for doing all this! I am having trouble with the initial set up. I get the privileged mode with a number and asking for a number to input, when I hit cancel I cannot swipe up and get the tablet settings. I am logged out and not connected to wi-if… I was going to ask if I’m an idiot but that’s obvious, I purchased this treadmill and thought I could input hdmi cables into the back similiar to the manual of the 2950 Commercial Treadmill. It’s not the same, no ports for input etc,
Is it possible to run HBO Max? I have installed the apk in the latest version, movies start but there is no video and voice at all. Time is running but nothing else. I have 2950 and no problems with netflix.
Do you know if this still works? Looking to get one and would 100% prefer TH-cam, Peloton App, Zwift etc. That would be great if possible. Let me know if you still have this. Thanks.
If you’re looking to use the screen for the apps you mentioned I wouldn’t buy a NordicTrack they’re continually pushing updates to lock you out of this functionality. It’ll work for a little while, but if you update the software it’ll lock you out of getting to the android portion. I’d get one without a screen and get a tablet mount and use that or a tv instead.
We looked at the Sole F80 and Horizon 7.4 or 7.8 they all have lifetime warranty on the drives and motors whereas Nordictrack does not. I’d go with those and find a way to get a tv mounted or tablet mounted for the money you save. These tablets are built in to only use the monthly subscription for the specific brand and they suck so much lol. I wish I didn’t get this one.
Yeah, I've heard about this. Only way around this is really ignoring the updates they try and push to you. I haven't really found any other way around that.
@@DerrickMoy Confirming, yes it locks you out. You are presented with a number, and you have to get customer services to give you the password for the number... I just got it, reset it, and will never update it again.
You need to ensure you do not update the firmware on the treadmill. Nordictrack continues to push updates which restrict anyone from using 3rd party apps. So if you redo this and install every thing if at anytime the treadmill asks you to update you need to say NO. At the moment there doesn’t seem to be a way around this.
Has anyone experienced Netflix uninstalling now? Mines was working now Netflix uninstalling during the night. I will say it was nicer when I could watch my show on the treadmill instead of the sofa.
Hey Derek, would it be possible to write steps down on how to do this? I have a 2950 and I'm new to this please.
I fit will not run in background when I switch to watch Netflix I hear a beep and the treadmill stops. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
It worked! My X32i model had a reset hole on the right. Very small and hard to find. Near the top of the frame.

Added the taskbar which works fine when rebooting. Ifit keeps shutting down Netflix unless I'm in admin mode. Any ideas?
How do I fix the sideways screen?

@@DerrickMoy Thanks for the response. Is there a similar build quality treadmill you would recommend? Price point, motor, features etc?

Which apk do you download for Netflix? Like what's the best
I heard there is an update that locks people out of privileged mode. I have a brand new Commercial 1750. Have you heard of the lock-out update?

I tried I spent two hours and I can’t get mine to work
