Setting up your subscription on Android phones and tablets — step by step
The phone is the screen that is always with you: at work, on the road, when travelling. Setup on Android is quick from Google Play, and with the right settings you get an excellent picture on the phone screen without spending the whole mobile data plan on one match.
Before you start
Server URL, username and password (Xtream Codes) or an M3U link — sent after payment. Paste them from our message instead of typing character by character.
Wi-Fi for the first install; on mobile data set the quality to medium or high.
Settings › System › System update. Android 8 or newer is preferable for most players.
The steps
- Install the app from Google Play
Search for a player that supports Xtream Codes or M3U and install it. Message us and we confirm the player currently available in your country, or send you the link to our official app if it is not in the store.
- Enter your subscription details
Copy the server URL, username and password from our message and paste them into the app. Choose Xtream Codes as the sign-in method.
- Wait for the channels, then test
The first load can take a minute. Play a channel, then another from a different category.
- Turn on picture-in-picture
Settings › Apps › the app › Picture-in-picture › Allow. During playback press Home and the channel continues in a small window.
- Set the quality for data
In the app’s settings choose medium or high quality for playback on mobile data, and automatic on Wi-Fi.
Also supported players
If you prefer a player from your device’s store instead of our official apps: install one of these players, send us the MAC it shows on first open, and we activate your subscription on it. These are third-party players; their availability depends on your device’s system and your country, and we do not own them nor does our plan include their licences.
From the phone to the TV
If your TV supports Chromecast or “Cast”, you can send the channel from the phone to the big screen with the cast button in the app where it offers one. For everyday use, install the app on the TV or an external device.
After the first channel plays
On mobile data choose medium or high quality; 4K on a small screen spends data for little visible gain.
In the system settings, so the channel keeps playing in a small window while you use other apps.
Add your channels to favourites so they open in one press on match day.
Common problems on this device
Message us and we send you the link to our official app or recommend an available player. Allow installing from the link for the browser only when the phone asks, then turn it off again.
Lower the screen brightness and the quality, and play over Wi-Fi instead of mobile data — mobile data uses more battery.
Signal strength where you are is the factor. Drop the quality one or two steps, or move to Wi-Fi.
Restart the app. If it persists, switch the video player in the app’s settings where available.
Frequently asked questions
Does the subscription work on an Android phone?
Yes, through a compatible player from Google Play or our official app, with the steps in this guide.
Does it work on tablets and Huawei phones?
Android tablets, yes. Huawei phones without Google services need an app from AppGallery or a direct link — message us and we help.
The app opens but there are no channels — why?
Usually an extra space or a missing character in the server URL or username, or an expired subscription. Paste the details from our message again; if it persists, message us with the app and device.
How much mobile data does viewing use?
Roughly under a gigabyte per hour at medium quality and one to three at high definition — it varies by source and app.
How many devices can I use?
We help you set up on two devices, with playback on one device at a time. If you need more than one screen, ask before ordering.
Menu and setting names differ slightly between versions and models, and app availability in the stores varies by country. Picture quality and stability depend on the source, your device and your connection speed. If you cannot find an option mentioned here, message us on WhatsApp with your model.
