r/FacebookPortal

I'm not sure if it was and update or if it was something I did with adb giving immortal write permission, but now when I hit the home button from the swipe down menu, it gives me the option to select immortal or portal as the HOME. If I press "portal" and "just once" it takes me to the original portal launcher and I can make calls just fine now, no more calls button flashing the screen. Incoming calls have always came through fine using immortal. I hope this helps anyone else with the calls button issue.

Hi all, just like to hear what you've installed on your Portal now it's unlocked, i need some inspiration, be it productivity, entertainment, home assistant etc.

Ive just installed Jarvis and Lyra Music so far.

I have 2 facebook portal's running immortal thanks to this sub! amazing work to the creator for breathing life into these, its now my fav toy! i love the screensaver linked to google photos and have htem both running that, however I cant find the setting to display clock & weather ? one of them has it the other just displays photos.. what/where am i missing?? its sooo good to see time/weather immediately :D

I have two 10" portals, neither of them seem to be receiving calls, they make outgoing calls fine. Has anyone else had the same issue?

As the title suggest.

I got a Facebook portal and I am currently logged in with my account. Is there a way, since the​​​ last update, to use the portal without a login? Or do I have to create a burner account? TIA​

Is anyone else quietly buying used Portals….? 😅

Voice assistant on HA works with button click. Can wake word work with HA?

So I have had a Gen 2 10" portal for about 3-4 days now, been working with it. Pretty nice little device - esp for the money.

But I did a factory reset tonight to start over and now I can't login via FB and the device won't go any further to let me turn ADB back on.

So if they (FB) are not going to allow these things to login soon with FB accounts and with the firmware/bootloader all locked, these will just be dead devices right? As in if you did a factory reset or got one after they would not allow login via FB any more.

Am I thinking wrong? I was ready to replace every google home I had with these, but now that I can't login (And I'm aware of this thread and am now waiting to see if I can get back in..https://www.reddit.com/r/FacebookPortal/comments/1u29dti/setup\_problem/).

Just seeing what the community might have to say about this before I buy more of them.

Hello, has anyone created a guide to setting up Home Assistant Companion App on Portal with luck? My goal was simple (I thought), I want to use the Portal for a HA dashboard. I would like the Portal to go to sleep when I leave the room and wake when I return. I would like HA dashboard to be showing persistently. So far, I've tried Portal HA Bridge, but each time I return the Bridge app loads on the screen instead of HA. I tried Immortal, which didn't trigger sleep/wake. l last I just installed HA Companion, but can't get the setting correct to sleep/wake in an automation.

So far, the best I've done is HA Companion with a sleep/wake screen brightness automation that sleep/wakes when the PC in the room does the same, but still have problem with Portals lock screen.

Hi all, as per title. All I’m looking for is to install vendor apk for I p t v. There is a new portal 10 for $77 in my area and I wonder if I should get it.

I’m not sure if I understand the instruction correction but basically is to adb install immortal and then I could just install the apk?

I’m coming from the same angle where I had the echo show 5 first gen / Lenovo thinksmart view and install lineage os which then allow me to install home assistant.

So the question is simply - would the portal with immortal allow me to install apk and also home assistant?

Many thanks!

Alguien ha sido capaz de hacer funcionar Alexa en el portal+ 2021 ? Una de las funciones que me gustaría poder usar es mediante un simple comando de voz decirle al equipo que ponga una alarma para una hora concreta existe forma de tener esto ?

I have multiple Portal's at home, and its been a pain keeping them all up to date with all the excellent work happening since ADB was opened up. Developed a tool to help with this.

Introducing Portal Hub - Control all your Meta Portal devices from one web page — over Wi‑Fi, with no cable needed each time. Install apps, see what's installed, take screenshots, reboot, run commands, and keep apps up to date across every Portal in your home.

It requires a one time USB connection per Portal for setup. After that, everything can be controlled remotely.

I had 2 Portal TV's that I've had to factory reset today.

After reset, both of them will terminate video & audio calls immediately when calling someone (the selfie view appears, then a fraction of a second later, the call ends).

Note that both Portal TV's are on v1.44.4. One of them was working fine before the factory reset (I've only just acquired the other one today).

One is wired, and one is on the wireless network, so I'm certain it's not networking issues.

I haven't installed Immortal or any other thing on it - they are both basically stock firmware devices.

Any ideas?

Got my hands on a used FB portal. It appears to have been reset, because when plugged in, it goes to setup. However, I have no FB account (and don't want one). I tried the WhatsApp setup, but it never shows the QR code.

I have the device on a VLAN that lets it reach outside, but nothing inside my network. It makes many calls to www.google.com and connectivitycheck.gstatic.com. The fact that it calls so frequently suggests it is not getting the response it expects. It eventually times out.

Is the FB account necessary? Is there a way to get some anonymous or fake account just for purposes of setting up this device to do what I want, which involves nothing on the internet?

Any help is appreciated.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone involved with the Inmortal project. It has honestly breathed new life into these devices.

I originally picked up a Portal 10 just to play around with it, and I ended up loving it so much that I now own two Portal 10s, a Portal+ (2021), and a Portal Go. The music assistant multi-room functionality alone has been awesome, and I'm really impressed with everything the project has made possible.

That said, I've run into one small problem. I haven't found a Portal that's quite right for my bedroom. The Portal 10 is a little too big for a nightstand, and I already have Echo Show 5s in all four bedrooms throughout my house.

I've seen a few YouTube videos where people have rooted/modded Echo Show 5s and 8s to sideload apps in a similar way to the Portals. It got me wondering... would the Inmortal team ever have any interest in expanding the project's scope to include Echo Shows as well? I think there are probably a lot of people like me who already have several Echo Shows around the house and would love to give them the same treatment or at the very least keep a consistent experience across all these displays.

Either way, thanks again for all the incredible work. This has easily become one of my favorite smart home projects.

Hi all! So to preface, I'm very new to the Portal and to the Immortal community. I recently got a Portal, and everything worked fine out of the box.

I decided to install Immortal for more flexibility, and it's also working fine. Things started to get finicky when I played with some AI settings (I honestly don't know what I changed that caused this, been turning things on and off to test). Calls are starting to drop from my side, and the receiver sees a loading black screen (still able to receive calls). I noticed that the auto-zoom camera feature is also crashing when I switch it. I tried to factory reset the whole thing, but it stays the same, and I can only make calls very intermittently. Any suggestions?
