Remote Control from the Google TV App
First, open the Google TV app on your Android phone or tablet. Look for a floating remote button in the bottom right corner.
Next, tap “Select a Device” at the top and choose your Google TV device.
Enter the code that’s displayed on the TV and tap “Pair” to connect the remote.
You now have a functioning remote on your phone! You can switch between a swipe remote or a d-pad from the three-dot menu icon in the top right.
Remote Control from the Quick Settings
The even easier method for opening the remote is from the Quick Settings menu. First, follow the steps above to do the initial setup. Next, swipe down twice from the top of the screen and tap the pencil icon.
Find the “TV Remote” tile and tap and hold, then drag it up to the top section of tiles.
Release your finger to drop the tile in place, then tap the back arrow in the top left to finish.
Now you can tap the “TV Remote” tile from the Quick Settings to open the remote from anywhere!
Both of these methods are great for those times when you can’t find the remote or would simply rather use your phone
