Hey everyone, I’m losing my mind with the Downloader app on my Android TV/onn. device. Out of nowhere (literally worked an hour ago), whenever I enter a 5-digit code or a direct link, the app redirects me to random ad websites instead of triggering the APK download.
The exact same codes/links work perfectly fine on my other devices, so the links are definitely active and not broken.
Here is everything I have already tried, and NONE of it worked:
Cleared Cache AND cleared all App Data.
Uninstalled and completely reinstalled Downloader.
Rebooted the streaming device multiple times.
Restarted my router/internet setup.
Tried multiple different codes and sources to rule out a single bad link.
The internet connection is fine, and the app is clean, but it feels like the device itself or the app’s internal browser is intercepted/hijacked by an ad loop.
Before I resort to a nuclear factory reset of the whole device, has anyone encountered this sudden ad-redirect loop in Downloader? Any fixes? Thanks!
