I am an Android TV developer and here is the thing, Google main focus is not on revamping the UI but currently focusing on fixing the things behind the scene. There are lot of changes going around at framework end which end user will not even notice. Also in American and European markets there are multiple android tv' vendors which have their on customized UI, bundled with their internet and OTT streaming services. Which users purchase as a bundled package and eventually we also develop the Android updates from older to new Android versions for those markets. In Asian markets for example we can see MI TV with customized UI. Long story short, Google is doing many things behind the scenes (Framework changes) and they know in big markets, big vendors are developing their on UI so they no need to focus on UI and focuses on security and other features.
Finally someone made a video about it. I was wondering the same since months. Looks like google doesn't care about their os until they are able to monetise that part of the business. Like they did with their watch os.
I actually switched from AppleTV to Google TV because of the great features like watchlist that the GoogleTV has. And there was a big update yesterday that added a bunch of new consumer features, but I can't find anyone talking about it.
I have been using Mi Box 4k for more than 2 years . Facing slowness in bootup and operations , no updates or anything so far . From my experience I won't by any new Android TVs as later it will be a trouble to keep it with it's slow interface and performance. It is better to use Webos or Tizen based TVs for better tv experience and then connect Android TV stick if needed so that these stick can be updated with new ones later.
My fire tv stick gets better updates than Android TV, UI also got revamped about twice I guess and the under-the-hood optimisations happen frequently, better than no updates I guess.
I have been using google tv on my sony a80j been a great experience so far but it dosent lag sometime and definately better that android tv Just had a slight issue with navigating through apps i click too fast on my remove but the tv dosent seem to care and change the menu based on that fast clicks they need to optimize it and a new ui change would be appreciated
One suggestion Team Beebom, the Audio side needs improvement! The Gain levels of the Vocal and the Intro/Outro Music are so unbalanced... :/ Other than that....as usual, fantastic video!
it already looks good, don't think there is much to improve here. I have an apple tv box, but since it is not having the Moonlight game streaming app and full Stremio app, I do not use it that much.
I recently got Android TV 12 and my TV starts with Android TV 9, at least with Android 12 when I started the TV starts in the home screen instead of the HDMI like android 11
I actually bought Chromecast 4k bcoz i was not getting Android updates on my mi TV and guess what the experience is way smoother and the ui is so cool and everything is great here
I bought a LG OLED instead of Sony's 65-inch LED just because it had Android TV and not Google TV. Google TV was only present in high-end TV's and it was going out-of-budget. Now he is happy with his LG OLED C1X.
My greatest gripe about Google TV is why it keep installing apps I don't even use on its own. Eg: Zee5, Mx Player, etc. I will manually uninstall them, and the next time I check, they will be there again among the installed apps.
The only time my Xiaomi TV Stick 4K update Android TV is when I started it the first time out of the box. Never since then have I ever seen it requests an update.
I wish the improvements should be done on performance part and other file format support. I don't bother about design. It's okay though. I mean look Smartphone OS. It's evolved to such great heights that there is only little to improve. TV is always something that you just play back stuff. It's not like a smartphone.
With the timing of the release of Android 13 for TV and the uselessness of the features, I couldn't help but realize, that's a very nice jacket, sir. 👏
@Beebom team, can you please make a video on how can we install custom roms in Android TVs? Stock android tv sucks. So if you can make a video on how can we side load other Android tv custom roms then it will be really really great! It's sincere request from your fan... Hope you will consider my request.
Hey Beebom, Apple TV is much better because of the processor being used. If google were to improve the responsiveness of their OS, the processor used in the device will not be able to keep up. So that why I think Android TV is so bad and its not entirely Google's fault.
I think... Their point is like .. Google Os for both pixel phones and Google tv... Soon they ll change the pixel phones from Android os to Google os (closed source)...and the rest ll be in Android os (open source)
My sony android tv used to update until they stopped supporting it about 6 years ago , my new tcl tv is running Google 12 and we've just had a update which has corrected a couple of problems one being that when you pressed the information button to find out what the programme your watching is about you couldn't before but you now can after the update plus if you were scrolling through the TV guide to see what was on it would lag so if you stayed on a certain channel while scrolling it would turn over to that channel weather you wanted to or not but after the update its more fluent and a lot smoother and enables you to scroll easily and it doesn't turn over to a channel unless you want it to, so after the update its corrected the problems and issues I had with it , ok on the sony if i wanted to set a schedule timer for a certain programme i had the option to either set a reminder or record it onto a formatted harddrive which i can't do with Google tv oh well it is what it is and you can't have everything, this tcl is a great TV, its a 55inch 4k ultra hdr mini qled tv with Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos and dtsx and hdr ect ect and with my top of the range Amazon fire stick all of that comes into its own so yeah im happy ive just got to figure out what sound bar & sub i want 👍
they need proper RAM management.. anything but Ram management because one cannot go time and again to force stop random apps and clear cache data every two or three days... Keep everything simple and give a RAM manager App.. thats it.
You are wrong, Beebom. Android TV is laggy because all Android TVs ship with low specs, maybe except Sony's high end OLED TVs. On the other hand, Apple TV ships with a very fast chipset, just like all other Apple devices.
I thought the design of Android TV 13 would be a version of Android 13 adapted for the interface of a smart TV as if it were the lite version of Android
Main difference between Google tv and Android tv is Google Play Store! Which is not available (limited) on Android tv so apps fail to load ! Only solution is to unlock Android tv
Hello Bhai.. these days many of the smartphone users specially those who have received the update of Android 12 are facing an issue of green line(s) on their smartphone 's display... Plz throw some light on this matter as you are a big and influential RU-vidr.. How to get this issue fixed and how to claim free service for this as the consumers are not responsible for this.. Even I have got the same issue on my Vivo X60 pro.. plz do something for us.. May Almighty bless you brother.
Android 12 is full of many bugs. Most probably you also received one of those bugs. The only two ways around for you are either degrade your OS to Android 11 or get it updated to Android 13(if the brand does provide that update)
@@dragonforcegaming7555 Thank you soo much for your response... so if I act upon your suggestions, will this problem get resolved automatically without contacting the Vivo service centre??
@@sahidulalam8511 is your device going to get android 13 update or not first check it. If it gets then most probably the issue will be resolved with the android 13 update. Contact their customer care once to know whether its getting the update for android 13 and remember to say them about this issue, they might give a different suggestion . Most of the times these kind of issues get resolved either with updates get resolved with the next OS update or by degrading the OS version. I just suggested these process but its always better to see some videos on RU-vid regarding these kind of issues and contacting the service center or customer care as they are the officials and deal with these kind of software issues on a daily basis.
I have an Apple TV 4k and Google TV for Chromecast. Apple TV is miles better than Google TV in premium remote and it's touch pad. Google's remote doesn't have a touch pad. Ofcourse there's a lot of cost difference between both. It's so difficult to connect Pixel Buds with Google TV though they are in the same eco system. Apple TV connects to all Airpods so well. No recents on Google TV.
Google TV is exclusive to few countries... Not all countries get that nice interface. 99% of the countries have an UI which is the same with Android TV...
For users who have used both, which is better software Google TV or Tizen OS? I am to purchase a TV soon and I am mixed opinion between both. Google TV supports lot more apps but in many reviews it's told that Tizen OS is lighter and smoother to navigate.
Samsung tizen and LG webos are miles ahead of android and has all the essential OTT apps. Adding to this, both tizen & webos are lighter and lag free. You get the best TV experience on Tizen & Webos. Android on TV sucks. I have a LG TV and an Mi Android box. I've also used Tizen in the past. I never had to use the android box since LG store has all required apps. It didn't have the Jio cinema until the start of the world cup but on the day FIFA world cup started, the app was published in the store.
I purchased Mi tv 5x last year and it is still on android 11 and its been over a year, i did not get a single software update, even the security patch updates 😂😂
GOOGLE TV is Android TV. Google executives and Android devs told multiple times in various developer events that "Android TV is the OS and Google TV is just an experience on top". We don't need to be a rocket scientist for that, just go to Chromecast with Google TV "Settings" then "Abouts" and it will tell it's running on Android TV. Google TV is not an OS, it's just a launcher and some UI framework. Asking Google to replace all Android TV with Google TV is like asking Google to replace all custom skins with Stock Android launcher. If they don't make Stock Android TV without Google TV then what will OEM that develops device for Cable Boxes use? Or what will custom Android based TV devices will use because Google TV codes are closed sourced.
Hello, team beebom can you guys please make a video of tech insurance like mobile phones, bought pixel 7 and really afraid of something happening to that phone
