A useful feature in the Android 14 for TV should make it easier to find missing Google TV remotes, with compatible controllers making sounds to reveal their location.
A useful perk has been included in the latest Android update for Google TV that should make it easier to find missing remotes. Android Authority reports that the beta release for Android 14 for TV — announced during last week’s Google I/O conference — contains references to a new “find my remote” feature. One text string found within the update reads as follows: > There is a button on your Google TV that you can push to play a sound on your remote for 30 seconds.
It also shows a toggle to enable or disable it, and a button to test the sound. The remote-finding feature can be triggered by pressing a button on the front of the Onn streaming box, according to AFTVNews, which then causes the bundled remote to beep and flash a small LED light if it’s within 30 feet of the streaming box. Seeing support for find my remote in Android 14 suggests it isn’t a Walmart exclusive and will be coming to other Google TV devices.
