Google TV bug is causing the UI to get a little jumpy
While users wait for a solution from Google, there are some workarounds.
Google TV users have reported an unusual issue where the screen appears to bounce when navigating through apps in apps-only mode. This strange behaviour is affecting devices such as the Google TV Streamer, Onn 4k Pro, and Google TVs. Despite Google not yet addressing the problem, there are a few workarounds for users struggling with this UI glitch.
In apps-only mode, the home screen is designed to simplify the viewing experience by displaying only the selected apps, eliminating any unnecessary clutter. However, a new UI bug has emerged that causes the entire screen to jump unpredictably when selecting an app. This issue has been brought to light on Reddit's Google TV sub, where a user shared a video of themselves navigating through apps in apps-only mode. The screen's erratic movement occurs with each button press, causing significant frustration for those affected.
The user who reported the issue is using two Google TV Streamer devices with software version UTTK.260317.003. They had been using apps-only mode for an extended period without any problems before the issue suddenly arose. Despite trying to reboot their devices, the problem persists, leaving them unable to navigate their Google TV experience in a smooth and stable manner.
