    ANDROID TV 10 Q: THE SIX CHANGES YOU NEED TO KNOW

    Google released Android 10 on Android TV recently. Compare with the previous Android TV OS, what's the difference between them? Let's follow my steps to discover them.

    Android TV 10: Top Six Changes

    Android TV 10 Q will bring several improvements and six aspects of changes including Security, Media&Graphics, Dynamic Partitions, Energy Consumption, Privacy, and Performance&Update-ability. In this article, we would like to choose some of them to introduce.

    Memory Management

    Android TV Q supports dynamic partitions, a userspace partitioning system that can create, resize, and destroy partitions during an over-the-air (OTA) update. In simple terms, we can call it"Memory Management". Memory Management is the function responsible for allocating and managing a device's main memory, keeping track of the status of each memory location, either allocated or free to ensure effective and efficient use of Primary Memory. As thus, consumers can record more movies, sporting events, or their favorite programs than before.

    Data Security and Privacy

    Android TV 10.0 offers storage encryption using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and requires devices to use Adiantum software ciphers for securing users'data and privacy. Adiantum is an innovation in cryptography designed to make storage encryption more efficient for devices and ensure that all devices can be encrypted.

    Power Saving

    Android OS comes with the ability to multitask, which means that several apps and services are kept running in the background even when they are not actively being used. To improve the battery life of devices, Google added a power-saving feature called "Doze" since Android 6.0, allowing users'devices to go into incredibly low power usage modes in standby. With Android Q, this Doze feature is getting a serious upgrade that makes it more practical and energy-efficient than ever before.

    Video Transmission

    Android Q will have native support for data-saving AV1 video codec. AV1 is a new video codec designed to help companies or individuals to transmit high-quality video over the internet efficiently. With AV1, operators can stream high-quality video content to Android devices using less bandwidth, which also means that operators can deliver higher-quality viewing experience to end-users, even when bandwidth is constrained.

    Android TV is a Good Option for Operators and Consumers

    Android TV is the fastest-growing platform in the digital TV market, used by tens of millions of consumers and hundreds of operators. According to the expectational data, global Pay-TV subscribers will surpass 1.1 billion by 2024. Why are more and more people getting involved in this market or using this platform?
    There is no doubt that fast time-to-market and cost-saving are critical for Pay-TV service providers. Android TV provides a branded and customized platform for operators to deliver a great user experience with the rapid innovation of features. With Android TV, operators can directly select off-the-shelf features including recommendations, PVR and voice search and add a standard broadcast solution significantly with reduced integration cost. All of them make it a very cost-effective and fast way of getting to market. Besides, operators can also add new services like home security, IoT, and VR to expand their business and increase revenue-generating opportunities.

    And for end-users, they can easily access endless original content from Android Ecosystem to watch their favorite programs with Android TV devices. Moreover, Android TV Box features a Voice Remote with Google Assistant built-in to allow them to quickly find Amazon or Netflix content using just their voice. Whether end-users play casually or go all-in, Android TV offers a new way to play Android games on their phones, tablets or TVs. This is also an effective way to reduce churn and improve operators' ARPU.

    ABC iView on Nvidia Shield - No ability to log in?

    Posted: 10 Dec 2019 10:33 PM PST

    As best as I can tell there appears to be no way to log in to your ABC account within the ABC iView app on the nVidia Shield? Is this correct?

     

    If so are there any plans that the ABC have communicated as to if this will be added in the future?

     

    It seems like a massive oversight as I'm now unable to see what I've watched or resume a show midway through which is a big downside and enough to make me not want to use the app.

     

    Or possibly it's user error and I'm missing how I log in?

     

    EDIT- Okay I did some testing and even without logging in the app will record why view history but it is isolated to my Shield (if I then log into the website it won't show a watched status for anything viewed on the Shield). So I guess my revised question is "does anyone know if ABC plan to update the app so that viewed status is synced across all devices?"

    Sharp AndroidTV backlight turns on when TV is 'off'

    Posted: 11 Dec 2019 01:21 AM PST

    So I'm not sure how much of this is an AndroidTV issue, but it seems to me it might be.

    This TV, when in sleep mode / screen off (what used to be known as 'turned off', or whatever happens when I hit the 'off' button on the remote) repeatedly turns its backlight on, then off, then on again for the duration the device is plugged in. No image comes up, and it's only noticeable in a dark room, but I do not like the power consumption implications this presents as well as any possible wear-and-tear doing this 5-8 times a minute would entail.

    I have disabled 'wake on LAN/WAN' options as well as every other option I can think of, except screen saver which cannot be disabled. Do I just have a defective unit or is there anything else that can be done here?

    Posted: 10 Dec 2019 06:05 PM PST

    Does live channels still have issues with the hdhr? I recently set up my mi box down stairs and I'm getting the weak no signal bug. Is this still an issue after all these years?

    Can I watch Pluto.tv videos with a Xiaomi Mi Box S, Shield TV pro, or some other gadget?

    Posted: 10 Dec 2019 01:47 PM PST

    I'm a big fan of watching videos at the Pluto.tv website (owned by ViacomCBS). They also have an Android app, which works okay. Neither are 'cast' compatible. Can I watch Pluto.tv videos with a Xiaomi Mi Box S, Shield TV pro, or some other gadget on my big screen 1080p TV? The only way I know to do this would be to use a laptop + HDMI cable; which is not convenient.

    Issue : my Mi box turns TV on automatically

    Posted: 10 Dec 2019 01:02 PM PST

    Hey everyone !

    I wanted to be able to turn my TV (Sony KDL49WE750) by using my Google Home. In order to do so, I turned on the CEC option on my Android TV and it works : I can turn the TV ON and OFF with my voice.

    However, since I did that, the TV turns itself on about one min after I turned it off, and I can't figure out why.

    When CEC is off or the Android TV is off, the TV won't turn back on. However, turning it off while having the Mi Box on will make the TV turn back on after a few mins.

    Any ideas on how to fix this ?

    Thanks

    Xiaomi Mi Box S vs Shield 2017

    Posted: 10 Dec 2019 12:25 PM PST

    I currently have a Shield (2017) that I love. I am looking to add another Android TV to my household, but it won't be used nearly as heavily. Is there a big drop-off to the Mi Box S?

    Has anyone found a compatible cheaper remote for Hisense H8F? (Android TV)

    Posted: 10 Dec 2019 11:27 AM PST

    I'm not sure if this is ok in this sub, but I'm trying to find a cheaper backup/secondary remote for my Hisense H8F. I don't care about Google Assistant, I just want basic nav/vol/input/power abilities...

    If anyone has one they like, please let me know which one it is!

    Posted: 10 Dec 2019 09:09 AM PST
