Google introduced the Android 14 update for TV, the latest version of Android TV, at Google I/O last week. Google is preparing to take the TV experience to another dimension with many new features that it is preparing to introduce to the user.
However, it was learned that another innovation was on the way, apart from the introduced features. Another overlooked innovation emerged when the company gave developers access to an updated emulator. This feature shows that the era of suddenly disappearing controls will come to an end. Here are the details…
Radical solution to the problem of lost remote control
Google TV is preparing to introduce the “find my remote” feature to the user with the highly anticipated Android 14 update. The new feature will be like a cure for users who go crazy looking for their lost remote control.
Onn Google TV 4K Pro sales recently started at Walmart. This feature, which will solve the problem of lost remote control in the new broadcast box, was experienced by users for the first time. When a button on the front of the box is pressed, the remote beeps.
Google TV is getting the expected feature! Here are the details
At CES 2024, Google finally announced that Fast Pair technology will be coming to Google TV products next month.
This move also causes the LED lights on the remote control to flash. This allows users to find their remote control from a distance of 30 meters. It was initially thought that the feature was limited to this device only. However, upon review of the new version, it was learned that this was not the case.
When the structure of the Android 14 emulator for TV was examined, it was revealed that the “find my remote” feature is a part of the Google TV platform. The fact that the code sequences of the two features are the same shows that the Onn Google TV 4K Pro device has already started to use this innovation.
Although this feature, which will end the era of disappearing remote controls, excites everyone, it will only be compatible with some Google TV remotes. These remotes will need to have sound output and LED light features. It has not been announced yet which models will support the feature. After the update, it was announced that users can use this feature by pressing the button on the Google TV device or from the settings page.
Although it is unknown how many hours or days people spend searching for a remote control throughout their lives, this problem had to be eliminated. This innovation of Google TV aims to put the lost remote control crisis to the dusty shelves of history. So, do you think this feature was necessary or is searching for a remote control not that big of a problem for you?
