So many people these days have a tablet. Some ipad, some android. I Dont know how this topic1 applies on ipad because i do not have one.
But i have an android tablet which is wifi only. The fios remote app for android is wifi only. I cannot use it on my phone unless i am connected to wifi.
So why am i asked for the last 4 digits of my phone number?

Unless someone has a workaround for this, i cannot use the app. And to me it would be pretty cool to use this tablet as a remote. Plus i could show my pictures on tv.(assuming that function is stil there)
Ive tried a google voice number but no dice.
So does anyone know whats going on with this?
Any employees with answers?

Took some time but pressing the stb button and resetting the pin a number of times seems to have worked. The connection times out a lot though, but at least it does work now.

It's probably talking about your FiOS account phone number?

One would think. But when it wont accept it, it specifically asks for my mobile phone number.

Ok so it looks like my problem doesnt apply anymore as it was fixed with the latest update. Silly me.
But now i am trying to find out how one connects to more then 1 device.
On the remoteapp i cant find how to add another dvr
