Understanding Fast Boot
Answers to the things customers ask most. Search for a keyword, or browse the list below to jump to your answer.
Fast Boot allows your Android TV to start up within a few seconds by placing the TV into Standby Mode instead of completely shutting it down.
If you use your TV frequently, enabling Fast Boot can provide a faster and more convenient startup experience. However, we recommend performing a full shutdown at least once a week to help maintain optimal performance.
What Is Fast Boot?
Fast Boot is a feature that keeps essential system processes running in the background while the TV is in standby mode.
Instead of going through the full startup process each time you turn on the TV, Fast Boot allows the operating system and startup applications to load almost instantly.
