How to sideload The latest Xfinity streaming app on Android TV – Guide
The Xfinity streaming app for Fire TV has recently come out of beta and, for whatever reason, now works fine on Android TV devices like SHIELD. You’ll still have to get the APK and install it manually, and you may need an alternate launcher (my favorite is ATV Launcher) to see the shortcut of the application. But according to a quick test, the app up and running on my first generation SHIELD, including remote controls. Unlike previous attempts at this method, the video plays without any problems.
Comcast (ding) still keeps this app out of the Play Store, I couldn’t guess. Perhaps Android TV devices are still low priority, as platforms like Roku and Fire TV are more popular by an order of magnitude. Still, if I were paying seven hundred dollars a month for cable TV (or how much it costs these days), I’d be pretty pissed off if I couldn’t watch it on my favorite set-top box.
To get the Xfinity streaming app on a SHIELD or similar Android TV device, you will need to download the Fire TV APK from the Mirror APK and transfer it to your USB via USB. Once you have transferred the file, you can install it with a file browser app. From there, you should be able to log in with your Comcast account and start streaming.
Android Police is reporting that Google is working on a new update for its mobile operating system that will add support for facial recognition technology. This update, which is codenamed “Nexus 6,” will allow users to unlock their devices with just a few quick and easy steps. This new feature, which is set to launch in the coming weeks, will be available on both Android and iOS devices. It’s unclear how exactly the facial recognition technology will be used, but it’s likely that it will be used to unlock devices or to authorize certain actions.
