What works

Sharp Google TV sets sold in the UK and Europe since 2023, plus the US AQUOS XLED, run Google TV and use the same pairing code flow as other Google TV sets.

  • Navigation and OK
  • Volume and mute
  • KeyboardSome apps, like YouTube, use their own keyboard and ignore typed text.
  • Open apps
  • Turn off
  • Turn on from standbyTurn on Settings > Network & Internet > Wake Configs > WoW (Wi-Fi) or WoL (Ethernet). The TV must be in standby, not unplugged or switched off at the wall.

On your TV

Turn these on once with your TV remote. Menu names can differ slightly by year and region.

  1. Connect the TV to the same network as your iPhone

  2. Let your iPhone wake the TV over Wi-Fi

    Turn WoW (Wake on WLAN) on. Sharp notes this raises standby power use.

  3. Let your iPhone wake the TV over Ethernet

    For turn on from standby2023–2026 modelsUnited KingdomEurope

    Use WoL (Wake on LAN) instead if the TV is on a network cable.

  4. If you chose an energy option during setup

    Setup offers "Saving mode", "Chromecast built-in" and "Wake on network only". Sharp says Saving mode stops apps from waking the TV over the network. Pick "Wake on network only" if you want wake to work.

In the app

Pairing takes about a minute, once per TV.

  1. Connect your iPhone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network

    Guest networks and Wi-Fi with device isolation block local control.

    Source

  2. Open Simple TV Remote and pick your TV

  3. Type the code shown on your TV

    The TV shows a short code the first time you connect. After that, the app reconnects without a code.

    Source

  4. Let the TV turn on from standby

    For turn on from standby

    Look for your TV maker's network standby setting (for example Sony "Remote start" or TCL "Screenless service"). Your TV's page lists the exact menu path.

Can’t find your TV? Add it by IP address

If your TV doesn’t show up in the app, tap “Can’t find it?” and type the TV’s IP address. Here’s where the TV shows it.

  1. Find the TV's IP address (older Android TV menus)

    Google documents this menu for Android TV; newer Google TV menus may differ.

Models

246 model codes from 2023–2026 for United Kingdom, Europe, United States. Codes are exact for their region. ·· stands for the screen size, so ··FQ5EG covers 50FQ5EG, 55FQ5EG and so on.

United Kingdom: Most UK Sharp TVs from 2023 onward run Roku TV or TiVo OS, not Google TV.

United States: Only the AQUOS XLED (FV1U) runs Google TV. Sharp's other current US models run Roku TV, Xumo or TiVo.

European and UK Sharp TVs, 2021 onward

55GP6265E
  • 55Screen size in inches
  • GModel-year letter: E (2021), F (2022–2023), G (late 2023–2024), H (2025), J (late 2025–2026), going by EPREL registration dates
  • PProduct line. Read together with the year letter, it tells you the platform: for example FN is Android TV, GP is Google TV, HJ is Roku TV and HK is TiVo OS
  • 6265Series and variant digits (finish, stand or retailer variant)
  • ERegion: E is Europe, K is UK, I is Ireland

The sticker on the back and the datasheet show a longer reference that starts with 1T-C, 2T-C or 4T-C (HD, Full HD or 4K) and ends with extra letters, for example 4T-C55FN2KL2AB. Both forms identify the same TV.

Troubleshooting

Most problems come from the network or one TV setting. Start at the top.

The TV does not turn on from your iPhone
  1. Check Settings > Network & Internet > Wake Configs and turn on WoW (Wi-Fi) or WoL (Ethernet).
  2. If you picked Saving mode during setup, the TV cannot be woken over the network. Change the energy option.
  3. Wake only works from standby. If the TV was switched off at the wall or unplugged, turn it on with its own remote or button.
The pairing code does not appear
  1. Make sure the iPhone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi network, not a guest network.
  2. Restart the TV from Settings > System > Restart, then try again.
The TV doesn't appear in the app
  1. Make sure your iPhone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi network, not a guest network.
  2. Allow Local Network access for Simple TV Remote in iPhone Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network.
  3. Restart the TV: unplug it, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in.
  4. Check that the TV is a Google TV or Android TV. TVs with only Chromecast built-in can't be controlled this way.
No pairing code shows on the TV
  1. Turn the TV on and leave it on the home screen; the code only shows while the screen is on.
  2. On the TV, update Android TV Remote Service: open Google Play on the TV, search for "Android TV Remote Service" and choose Update.
  3. If it still fails, go to Settings > Apps > Show system apps > Android TV Remote Service and choose Force stop, then Clear storage. Then pair again.
The app asks to pair again every time
  1. Clear the storage of Android TV Remote Service on the TV (Settings > Apps > Show system apps > Android TV Remote Service > Clear storage), restart the TV and pair once more.
  2. Give the TV a fixed address in your router so it doesn't change after a power cut.
The TV won't turn on from the app
  1. Wake works only from standby. A TV that was unplugged or switched off at the wall can't be woken over Wi-Fi.
  2. Turn on your TV maker's network standby setting. See your TV's page for the exact menu path.
  3. On Android TV 14 sets, a low-power energy mode may turn the network off in standby. Choose a mode that keeps the network on.
  4. If the TV uses Ethernet, try Wi-Fi, or the other way round. Some TVs only wake on one of them.
Volume doesn't change on a Chromecast, Google TV Streamer or SHIELD
  1. Turn on HDMI-CEC on your TV and on any soundbar or receiver in between.
  2. On the streamer, set Settings > Remotes & Accessories > Set up remote buttons > Volume control to "Auto (CEC)".

Is my UK Sharp TV a Google TV?

Go to Settings > System > About, or read the sticker on the back of the TV.

How do I connect my iPhone to a Sharp Google TV TV?

Put your iPhone and TV on the same Wi-Fi, open Simple TV Remote and pick your TV. Type the code the TV shows once, and the app remembers it.

Where is the model number on a Sharp TV?

Open Settings > System > About. It’s also on the label on the back of the TV.

Can I type on my Sharp Google TV TV from my iPhone?

Yes, in most search boxes. Some apps, like YouTube, use their own keyboard and ignore typed text.

Why can’t the app find my Sharp TV?

Make sure the TV is on and on the same Wi-Fi as your iPhone, not a guest network, and turn off any VPN on your iPhone. If it still doesn’t show up, restart the TV and your router, then check Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network on your iPhone.

Do I need an IR blaster or extra hardware?

No. Simple TV Remote talks to your TV over your home Wi-Fi. iPhones have no infrared, so TVs without a network connection can’t be controlled.
