    Android TV Microphone spying?

    Microphone spying?

    Posted: 23 Jan 2020 01:15 AM PST

    Hi,

    I recently purchased an Xiaomi Box S and have yet to used the microphone since I'm not comfortable with big companies spying on my personal life. With that said i'm sure it doesn't matter if i've used it or not. Anyhow, how much of my data is picked up by my newly purchased android tv? How does the microphone work? Is the microphone always listening?

    ​

    What can I do to savor my data? I do have a separate Google account for my box which is not linked to my normal account in anyway other than perhaps an IP-adress.

    ​

    I would love to use the microphone feature since it's faster than writing but I don't want my recordings to be saved and used by Google for example (maybe it already is?). Would love to hear some thoughts and feedback on the subject.

    Anyway to restart just the built in chromecast w/o restarting the tV?

    Posted: 23 Jan 2020 07:51 AM PST

    I have a Hisense Android TV and periodically, I can't cast to the TV. (The built in chromecast seems to be kinda working, it's showing images, but it doesn't show up in my list of devices from my android phone.)

    Restarting the TV fixes it, but going to settings and force stopping the "Chromecast Shell" app doesn't do it.

    Is there a way to restart the built in CC w/o restarting the whole thing?

    Can no longer cast to Mi Box S after Android 9 update

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 03:03 PM PST

    Can anyone help? Ever since updating to Android 9 on the Mi Box S, I cannot cast to the unit any more. The unit takes a long time to appear in the device list when choosing to cast, if it appears at all, but nothing happens when I select it..??

    Chromecast Android shell version number is 1.42.179832.

    Is it possible to install a Amazon Fire only app on Android TV Box?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 10:06 AM PST

    I recently purchased a VANKYO MatrixBox X95 Max 4K and so far everything is relatively good. I'm brand new to all of this and don't know anything about sideloading. Googling the answer is a confusing mess of outdated articles. I also don't know the correct terminology to get the specific answer I'm looking for.

    Here is my question: Is it possible to install a Amazon app store only app onto a Android TV? This is the app https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CZ2MQJ8/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_FRikEbT26H8X6
    Thanks in advance.

    Can I test my thumb drives reliability?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 12:12 PM PST

    I bought the 16GB 1st Gen Shield TV and got a 64GB USB 3.0 thumb drive with it for adoptable storage. It's been in there for almost four years now, and I'm wondering if there's a way to test the drive to see if it's still good or if maybe it's got bad sectors now and should be replaced.

    Travel Channel app not supported?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 07:33 PM PST

    I asked Travel channel support about not having a particular show on the Android TV app versus the Amazon fire stick app. This was the response.

    "Thank you for being a loyal Travel Channel fan, and I apologize you are experiencing errors when attempting to stream on Android TV. Unfortunately, the Android TV OS is not currently supported; however, I will share your feedback with our internal team for immediate review.

    In the meantime, the app is available on many streaming devices such as Amazon Fire Stick, AppleTV, and Roku so that you can watch your favorite programs on your TV.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns."

    I would have thought the app would be the same. Is it difficult to release the same app across android based devices? Also, is this a bad sign for Android TV?
