Google introduced the latest version of Android TV, Android 14 update for TV, at Google I/O last weeks. Google is preparing to take the TV experience to another dimension with many new features it is preparing to bring to the user. However, it has been learned that another innovation is on the way. Another overlooked innovation was revealed when the company gave developers access to an updated emulator. This feature shows that the era of the remote control that suddenly disappears will end. Here are the details…
A radical solution to the lost remote control problem
Google TV is preparing to introduce the “find my remote” feature 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.
Onn Google TV 4K Pro has recently started selling at Walmart. This feature, which will end the lost remote control problem 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. This move also causes the LED lights on the remote to flash. This allows users to find their remote from a distance of 30 meters. At first, it was thought that the feature was limited to this device. However, after examining the new version, it was learned that this was not the case.
An analysis of the structure of the Android 14 emulator for TV revealed that the “find my remote” feature is 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 using this innovation.
While everyone is excited about this feature that will end the era of lost remotes, it will only be compatible with some Google TV remotes. These remotes will need to have audio output and LED light features. The models that will support the feature have not yet been announced. 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 not known how many hours or days people spend looking for a remote control throughout their lives, this problem had to be eliminated. This innovation of Google TV aims to remove 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 such a big problem for you?
