It has the same exact functionality as the old one. I remember people were complaining because the app wasn't updated for years. I dared to question what they're missing from the app. Here you go enjoy your rounded buttons.

Thanks for the info.

In my case I had to update (manually) Google TV from 4.28.46 to 4.28.48 from APK Mirror for the remote to show up.

Do we have to update GBoard app to v11.0 on my Android phone or Google TV?

And also i only found 10.9 version on my phone. 11.0 is not available on playstore on my phone

Does it still have keyboard access? I didn't see one outside of the search window. I mostly use the remote to cut and paste login info.

That was easy!

A mute button, yay!

Thanks, mate! It work freaking perfectly. Now I can finally use the Google Assistant with the phone since my TV doesn't have a mic bult-in, tho it advertised that it has one.

Thank you so much! Got it working! The update for Android TV Remote Service had not rolled out to my Google TV yet, so I sideloaded the 5.0 version and it's now working perfectly! Thanks again for your help!

How to download the APK? The website is really buggy and keeps saying the page can't be found...

how to download file? always open new tab

Thanks mate. Checked qs and it was there.

You mentioned the "new remote", where can I get the new remote app?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Tested working on the GTV thanks. I did install the latest Google TV APK on my phone from APK mirror as well..

Terima kasih juzmafia.. Really helped me with this.. Was stressing out why the old app didnt work lol.

Can't install on a 3a, says the app isn't compatible with my device ^^

When release date Ireland

The quick settings tile doesn't appear in my Google Play Movies & TV app. Everything is already updated with the latest apk from apkmirror

Followed the steps and it's working fine. However the quick settings tile for the remote is permanently on with no way to turn it off. Is this supposed to be the case?

Updated everything and I can't pair my Samsung Galaxy A52 5G (host remote) to my Sony Bravia TV. Tried restarting many times and it still doesn't work. Weird?

Getting an error message "app not installed" any reason for this?

What do we need to install on our phone? And what do we need to install on our android tv box?

Shield TV - has anyone got this working? I am in Canada. The app shows up in my quick settings but won't discover my Shield TV. I checked the store on Shield TV and the Remote App is installed. No connection. Thanks for any help.

Doesn't show in quick tiles if you are stuck on Google Play Movies & TV and your country is not supported. And the old remote app stopped working. Thanks Google.

Edit: Nevermind. The solution is to restart your phone or the quick tile won't show.

You also need to long press the remote button and click enable or it won't do anything.

Did they make it complicated on purpose. Or did no one even tested what they made? Sometimes Google are just like a bunch of clowns.

Ok dude, I think w are both talking about something else, i internally just used my Nvidia app to voice search for shows on Netflix and videos on YouTube and it worked flawlessly and I put my shield remote in another room in the house and literally whispered in my phone and it registered every word, I asked the Nvidia app to play "sex education on Netflix" and I did and I asked it again to show me music videos on YouTube and it did, so it works for me, I don't know what you are talking about and honestly don't want to at this point because I'm starting to feel like I'm in the twilight zone.

My Remote feature works with the Chromecast plugged in but my TV (Sony Bravia 4k) won't pair directly with my phone. Could anyone point me to an article/video or any kind of fix? The error says "could not pair due to incorrect passcode" despite them matching.

Thanks!

Google TV still shows up as the movies app with its old UI without the remote feature in my case. But now it has the new logo. The new TV service is installed on my TV.
