RemoteNOW for Android

Overview

RemoteNOW is a complimentary remote-control app built for Hisense 4K Vidaa Smart TVs and the latest Hisense 4K Android models. It replaces the physical remote by giving you touch-based control from your phone, simplifying common TV tasks and centralizing control functions.

Primary capabilities

• Navigate the TV interface and menus with precision
• Cast photos and videos from your mobile device to the television
• Browse and manage the apps installed on the TV
• Change channels quickly from your phone
• Modify the volume and mute/unmute audio

Media casting and app management

Beyond basic remote operations, the app streamlines media sharing: with a few taps you can mirror photos or play videos stored on your mobile device directly on the TV screen. It also provides quick access to the TV’s installed applications so you can launch, switch between, or rearrange them without the physical remote.

Background activity and how to stop it

A known downside is that the app remains active in the background unless you shut it down manually, which can noticeably reduce your mobile device’s battery life. To prevent this:

1. Open your phone’s Settings and go to the Apps (or Applications) section.
2. Select the RemoteNOW entry from the list of installed apps.
3. Tap Force stop (or Stop) to terminate the app when you’re finished using it.

Regularly closing the app after use will help conserve battery power.

Final note

RemoteNOW offers a convenient way to control Hisense 4K TVs and share media from your phone, making TV navigation and content display much easier. Keep in mind the background activity issue and close the app when it’s not needed to avoid unnecessary battery drain.
