Google is making its TV experience faster, more responsive, and less annoying for users. according to Posted on his support forums on MondayThe company is working on improving boot time, overall performance, and the number of options for managing storage on both third-party TVs as well as Chromecast with Google TV streaming disc.
The company says it’s made it so that the Google TV home screen loads faster, reducing the amount of time before you can choose what content to watch. Google has stated that it has made performance improvements “through CPU optimizations and cache management improvements” and that it is starting to roll them out to third-party devices and “soon” to Chromecast devices.
According to the post, users should see faster performance in many areas – when loading the Live tab, scrolling through the home screen, or using a child’s profile. Some of these improvements, according to the company, are thanks to the fact that the Google TV itself uses less RAM, which leaves more for apps, especially when switching between different screens.
The company also responds to Complaints that appeared On how storage limitations can make it difficult to install apps on Google TV, especially on devices like Chromecast, which already has only 5GB of usable space, to me Android Police. Google says it added a menu in Settings > System > storage This will allow you to free up space by clearing the device cache and uninstalling apps, which have been released on Chromecast and will soon be available on Smart TVs. It also says that there is an “automated process running in the background” to free up space for apps.
With recent reports about Google looking to integrate wearable And the free channels On Google TV, it looks like the company may be willing to push users towards the big screen experience. If that’s the plan, it makes sense that she’s trying to improve on the basics now. However, as people need more and more apps to keep up with the growing number of streaming services, it might be time for device manufacturers (Google included) to consider upgrading the amount of storage that comes with Google TV devices. While software tricks may help reduce the number of low storage error messages, there really is no alternative to just getting more space.
