Troubleshoot your Nebula projector’s applications by following the tips below.
Nothing is more frustrating than a streaming app crashing in the middle of a good show. Luckily, you can easily resolve it. Follow our suggestions below to get your movie night back on track!
Check Your Internet Connection
Make sure your internet connection is stable by observing the LED lights on your router, indicating signal strength. Try rebooting your Wi-Fi router, and move it closer to your projector for best results. Verify your Wi-Fi signal strength by visiting Speedtest.
If network problems persist, connect via your mobile hotspot instead. Consider this could become pricey, depending on your data plan.
Reinstall the Application
Try reinstalling the application. On your Nebula projector, open Settings, then Apps. Click See App Apps, Installed Apps, then select and uninstall the malfunctioning application.
To reinstall the app, simply re-download it from the Nebula Manager. Launch the app to see if it works properly.
Make sure your internet connection is stable throughout this process, and keep your Nebula projector plugged in for best results.
Update Your Nebula Projector
Updating your Nebula projector only takes a few minutes and will ensure your device’s firmware is up to date.
Before updating your device, plug it in and make sure it’s charging.
Open Settings and select Device Preferences. Under About, click System Update. Allow your Nebula projector plenty of time to update. Do not unplug or power off your projector during this process.
Once updated, try to use the app once more, and see the results.
Reset Your Nebula Projector
Resetting your Nebula projector is similar to restarting it. This will force the applications to close and relaunch them once your projector is turned back on.
For best results, keep your projector plugged in and do not turn it off until the reset is complete.
In Settings, select Device Preferences, then Reset. Do not attempt to use your projector while it’s resetting.
Once completely reset, relaunch the app and see if the problem has been resolved.
Nebula Connect App
Control your projector from your smartphone with the Nebula Connect app.
You can use your smartphone as a remote to browse and select content on your projector with the Nebula Connect app.
Scroll through your Nebula projector’s apps in Mouse Mode by sliding two fingers against your phone’s screen and tapping to select.
Use Controller Mode to set the Nebula Connect interface to mimic a remote control.
To pair your Nebula Connect app to your Nebula projector, first, download it from the App Store or the Google Play Store. Once installed, make sure your phone’s Bluetooth is turned on.
Open the Nebula Connect app and confirm which Nebula projector model you own. Be sure to select the right model!
Follow any additional on screen instructions, and you’re ready to control your Nebula projector with your smartphone!
Note that Android phones can only connect to the Nebule Capsule II projector via Wi-Fi, so ensure they are both connected to the same network.
