Android TV Privacy Setting: Turn It Off NOW!

This is the first setting on your Android TV you should turn off as soon as you can in order to protect your privacy and stop companies stop selling your data.

A very few people know that almost any Smart TV and streaming device is collecting data and sells it. On the case of Smart TVs they use ACR (automatic content recognition) so they can listen and see what is playing on your screen. The total number of ACR-enabled smart TVs in the market is unclear, but as of past October, Vizio alone had more than 18 million ACR-enabled smart TVs in the market.

How to Disable Usage and Diagnostics

On an Android TV or even a Google TV they usually use a different method and thankfully we can do something about it. By going into Settings – Usage and Diagnostics we can disable data and usage collection and reporting.

Have another email as username on your device

I also highly recommend you use a different account just for your appliances of even entertainment devices. Making a new Gmail account is free and easy!

Use a VPN

And of course, if you really appreciate your privacy, make sure to always use a reliable VPN like Ivacy. You can get it through an affiliate link and by doing so you help my channel and you get an incredible offer for just $1.19 / month if you get the 5 years deal: https://dimitrology.com/recommends/ivacy/

How to change DNS Servers on ANY ANDROID TV device | SONY BOX STICK

Changing DNS servers on Android TV devices, like a SONY TV, Xiaomi Mi Box S, Mi TV Stick, Nvidia Shield TV, Google TV or any Android TV Box and Android TV in general is quite easy, you just need to find the device’s IP and also the Gateway IP. This may sound difficult to most people but by using a free app we can find both.

You can use whichever DNS Servers you prefer, those that I personally find faster though are:
Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 – 8.8.4.4
Cloudflare DNS: 1.1.1.1 – 1.0.0.1

What is Domain Name System or DNS?

A Domain Name System (DNS) represents a system of interconnected servers that store registered domain names and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Computers talk to each other using IP addresses. Since humans cannot memorize thousands of strings of numbers, we have to use domain names instead of IP addresses. It is much easier to remember and type http://www.youtube.com into your browser than http://173.194.77.104. So DNS keeps the record of all domain names and the associated IP addresses. When you type in a URL in your browser, DNS resolves the domain name into an IP address. There are faster and slower DNS providers. Typically, the DNS provided by your ISP is slow. DNS speeds are not a priority for them, and it shows. For DNS providers, however, it’s all about speed. With multiple, global points of presence (PoP), they can also deliver high-speed lookups for both your home and remote offices.

Update This App RIGHT NOW Fix Android Apps Crashing

You need to update this App right now in order to fix android apps from crashing. While this tutorial is made on an Android TV, the same process is also for Android smartphones. You need to update the Android System WebView App/Process in order to fix it. If you experience Android apps that suddenly started crashing, this is how to fix the app crash. The actual android app that crashes doesn’t have any issues. It is a bug from Google that they immediately fixed by pushing an update so make sure to update to the latest version.

I had plenty of people asking me why some apps keep crashing recently. As soon as a user selects the app, it starts loading and then immediately closes. This issue is called “crash”, an app that crashes and the fix is really simple. So do not start uninstalling and then re-installing your apps. The issue is another app that is a dependency. Android System WebView is the app’s name and you can find it in the Google Play Store. Most likely if you do not have automatic updates enabled, then you need to update manually.

Add To Home Screen Sideloaded Apps On Android TV (Missing Apps)

If you decide to sideload apps, meaning install apps that cannot be found on the Android TV Play Store, sometimes you will not find them. In the specific, you will not find the app icon on your Android TV home screen, you will not even find the sideloaded application inside your App drawer. In this tutorial, I am gonna show you how to add to your Android TV Home Screen any app that you sideloaded.

Why sideload apps? Even though the Android TV Play Store has a lot of applications, there are a lot more applications that are designed to be used on smartphones and tablets. So you will need to download and install them on your Android TV device (TV or streaming device like the Nvidia Shield TV, Mi Box S, etc.).

Ivacy VPN On OFFER: https://bit.ly/35Ztx5R

With the Nebula Manager application, which is a free app from Google Play Store, you can add a second row of apps, like the “Apps” row which comes by default on your launcher’s home screen. And if you never sideload apps, you can still add applications just for the easiness of having two rows of applications and games.
