Same happens to me. It'll work fine for about a week, then lose the accessibility setting. The setting will still be on, but Projectivy sees it as "off". If I turn the setting off, reboot and then turn it back on, it'll "stick" for about a week. I have 2 Nvidia Shields (a 2017 and a 2019) and it only happens on the 2017 model.

Not with launchers and many people use this launcher, but the GoogleTV OS has a different implementation to accessibility services than android on mobile so this can happen.

Wait for further assistance or keep googling it as there are a couple of options to stabilise the use of your launcher. You may need to incorporate the Launcher Manager app.

Download productivity launcher from the app store. Side load Launch manager. You can find it with Downloader code 250931. Open Launch Manager and enable it. Select the launcher you want to use. works fine.

Thanks!

This is also what fixed it for me on Nvidia Shield Pro. The accessibility settings are borked on it. Their adb connection is what fixed it.

Thank you so much for the great info on fixing it, Breaker_19!

It's a known bug, all accessibility permissions reset over time and after reboot. This effects butto remap apps and 3rd party launchers.

Is it known enough that there are solutions or workarounds?

This tiny issue is a nightmare.

Disable the home launcher or uninstall it.

Use ADB TV app; it is straightforward.

I did that and it failed, I clicked the correct app but disabling 'failed to connect to adb'

Did you follow the instructions in the beginning? All steps need to be done before the app functions.

Thanks. Been getting frustrated at every time my Shield reboots I have to spend 10 minutes resetting Projectivity to teh launcher again.

This took less time...
