Hi guys. I have a new Philips 58PUS8536/12, running the latest firmware (001.001.233.026).

What I see is that the panel resolution does not change to 2160P no matter the content I play:

- Netflix 4K HDR

- Youtube 2160P HDR

- Kodi 4K HDR (hitting Z key during playback shows the current resolution at 1920x1080@60Hz)

- PC set resolution at 3840x2160@30Hz, image displayed but still panel remains at 1080p.

While the content is being played back I run adb shell wm size and it returns "Physical size: 1920x1080".

What is going on here? Why is it not switching to UHD?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

the Android TV GUI resolution is:

- FHD Panel: 720p

- UHD Panel: 1080p

4K streams will be played in 4k (just switch on the statistics in the e.g. Netflix app).

Hi guys, today I noticed that I have some shadow on the top of my 55PUS7303... To test this and prove that I'm not crazy I use a white image... To my surprise this was the result:

Is it possible to fix? All the colours are great, but the shadow never goes away... (This is not a HDMI problem, this image it's from youtube)

No idea if it's a problem from the last update (the HDR problems are back when change from HDR to non HDR) or it's a dead panel.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Talory:
which signature to sign, the modified autorun.upg, so that it is accepted by the native recovery?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Bunnybugs_007:
Connected device I presume? Or is it happening with local apps as well? If it's a connected device, like a PV or stream box, you might want to change your HDMI-cable to one that's at least HDMI 1.4, although I'd suggest HDMI 2.0. Cheap 1.4 cables gave me issues as well, so I changed all my cables to 2.0 cables when I decided to hang my screen on the wall... Now there's no longer resolution issues.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Bunnybugs_007:
I have a similar 'issue' with my 55pus7906. Called Philips, and they said that it is what it is. All of them seem to have it, has to do with the way the backlight was designed. I must say that it's not necessarily annoying.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Alcagoita:
In my case they said this is the led backlight panel that have dead leds (at least 2 rows, on top and in the middle). I will replace the panel and hopefully the TV will be like new.

Hey i have the Philips 50PUS7304/12 are there any tweaks mods for the android tv.

I want to Root the philips Android Tv so i was hoping some one figured it out how to root philips android tv.

If 2015 Philips Android tv can i why newer tv not?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] thebartez:
Hello.

I have found the solution!

I own 706 oled, bought another philips remote control that looks similar but has full functionality (YKF474-B001). The trick is to spawn accessory pairing interface that has been stripped from settings in this tv model.

I was able to use tvQuickActions to program whatever button you choose to spawn that pairing screen. As an action use APP -> Settings (hold ok for couple of seconds to choose activity) -> AddAccessoryActivity (com.android.tv.settings.accessories.AddAccessoryActivity).

After finishing the pairing process everything started to work (voice search, google assistant, etc.).

One thing though, while pairing process, after it will initially pair, i had to 'connect' one more time to PHRCL using other remote.

Enjoy!

Hi, joining the conversation as I just got my news Philips 43PUS8506 Android TV (2021, ATV10) and set it up with everything I need. As usual, some of the apps I want had to be sideloaded, but strangely, in contrast to my old Sony Android TV 2015 (ATV7), those apps, on launch, are already oriented correctly but still in portrait "shape" only using 1/3 of the screen's width.

I tried a whole lot of screen orientation apps (set orientation, etc...), which, with all permissions granted, had no effect. Though they all seem to be working as they should, and I know those apps work since they do just fine on my tablet and the older Android TV, where the sideloaded apps look nice and clean in landscape mode after applying "set orientation".

For me it seems that the OS already runs some kind of re-orientation tool for apps designed in portrait mode but instead of flipping and stretching them, it just flips it, and somehow also prevents other orientation apps from working.

Anyone with a useful hint? Perhaps that built-in function can be turned off? Or is it something else?

Or is there perhaps a way to change default resolution/orientation directly in the apk?

EDIT: tried to clone the app with "forcing to landscape" activated, here the results: :(

"One or more enabled modding options are no longer supported on Android 10."

Thx a lot, Eric

Hi guys, is there any way to disable hdr on my 65PUS7303? through build prop I would have identified the values but without the root I think the modification is unlikely, is there any other way?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] tlc76:
Hello @Toengel,

I have a 49PUS7100/12 tv and I installed the latest firmware from your website, version QV151E_000.006.172.000.

After the upgrade, each time I turn on the TV the sound is interrupted and the pitch of the voices is higher than normal.

As a temporary fix, I turn off the TV plug, turn it back on and the TV is working correctly until the next soft power off.

I tried to install the latest official firmware (QV151E_R0.5.38.219) but unfortunately I cannot do it because of the Marvell chipset (no upgrade_package available for this model).

Is there any chance you could look into the problem and maybe compile a fix (a newer version that can be installed via the normal USB upgrade process)?

thanks a lot,

Cristian

Hi, I have a Philips UHD Android TV, model 70PUT8115. I noticed that the new Android UI is not available on my TV, is it because I live in Singapore so the UI is blocked by the location, or in general Philips does not have the new UI?

I was wondering if anyone else has the same issue.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Warlord13:
Good afternoon everyone!

Bought a 7906 and noticed a problem when watching YouTube (and the official app and smarttube and sometimes even on the usual screensaver) after about 1 - 1.5 hours, google play services crashes and the TV becomes unmanageable for 3-4 minutes and restarts itself. Sometimes does not reboot and can just hang for half an hour. Cured by pulling the cord out of the outlet.

How I tried to solve the problem:

1) Disabled all pre-installed apps like netflix through settings.

2) I limited the background activity to different values (no result).

3) updated to the latest version.

4) Cleared all cache.

5) Took down google play's and services versions and installed them again

6) Turned off verification of sources when installing applications

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Emaidkd thanks for sharing great step by step guide on how to add new user on 2015 Philips Android TV's.

It is now possible to turn on installation from unknown sources under "user 10" which is fantastic! I own model 49PUS7150/12 with QV151E latest December firmware.

There is however few things to know in advance for you guys:

* I recommend to add this new user onto freshly installed firmware, otherwise you may/may not experience freezing/spontaneous restarts...

* When prompted to allow USB debugging when using ADB through Command Prompt from your PC, make sure to check "Always allow from this computer", otherwise you will not be able to switch later back to owner account "user 0"... See attached pic.

* Kingroot app will unfortunately not be able to root your TV... See attached pic

* Under "user 10" Philips functions to call Main Settings, Ambilight Settings, Sources etc. does not work from remote control. However you can turn them on using icons on Android leanback launcher UI... not practical...

* TV gets stuck on Switching to "User 10" screen after waking up from stand-by, only remedy power off/power on mains...

* TV is switching automatically to "User 10" after power on/reboot without pressing any button on remote.

* Apps installed under "User 10" can not run under "User 0" until you install correspondent app from google play market, however the higher version runs afterwards. For example if you install unofficial Kodi 16 Beta 5 under "User 10" than switch back to "User 0" install official Kodi 15.2. After shortened "installation" you will be able to run Kodi 16 Beta installed under "User 0" which is very useful :)...

*AIDA64 thinks TV is rooted :)... See attached pic

Have a nice Christmas guys with all apps you can now install on your 2015 Philips Android TV's :cowboy:

I also tried creating the new user in terminal emulator on the TV but it said I didn't have the right permissions
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Yep, creating new user from emulator does not work for me either.

ADB refuses connection to TV over WiFi for some reason.

I disabled WiFi and used Ethernet connection instead.

Give it a try on your TV and let us know...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] philicibine:
Just tried, still no luck. ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Don't give up man :

*Close CMD and re-Run CMD as admin;

*Add your cmd.exe to firewall exemption list;

*Try to disable and re-enable USB debugging;

*Make sure your TV is connected to the same gateway on same network

*Make sure both TV and PC are on IPv4

*Ping your TV from PC and see if you get reply

*Install/Re-install SDK tools

*Enable ADB over Ethernet from the TV's terminal emulator with the commands:

setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555

stop adbd

start adbd

*Make sure your ADB version on PC is 1.0.32

Manufacturer of Philips TV

Hi I found that the cheap televisions like model line 6400 are manufactured by company TPV-tech. The better TVs are manufactured directly by Philips. I think, that this is the diference why on some models USB debugging works and why not.

I wrote to TPV-Tech and I am waiting for answer.

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

PLEASE IF YOU READ THIS POST, WRITE AN ANGRY EMAIL TO PHILIPS AND TPV-TECH. They think that it is OK to forbid a development and that a few developers do not mind (they write smiles after telling you that you can't unlock the TV. They do not care if you have bought their TV only in order to develop on it). Let them know that they are very very wrong! They upset the wrong people!

If you can write a review about Philips TV in style: "If you are geek or developer, do not ever buy Philips Android TV", then send email to Philips with the link to this review.

If we make a serious pressure on Philips, they will behave a different way!

Hey guys,

I'm looking into getting the 77OLED806/12 and before making my final decision, I'm interested in looking into the service manual for the TPM21.1E chassis. Anybody aware/have the service manual for this one yet? I couldn't find it yet. I am looking into the TPM18.1E atm which probably is somewhat similar, but would really like to get my hands on the specific service manual. My google-foo has yet evaded me and eserviceinfo.com doesn't seem to have it either (where I found the TPM18.1E one) ...

Thanks in advance.

I have the 75 inch 75PFL5604 and was just able to unlock the bootloader and such. I hadn't taken any updates before the unlock. Problem is I can't get the tv into preloader mode to dump the full firmware. It's using an MTK Soc. My next step is to possibly tear the tv apart a bit to short some pins to force it into preloader mode, at which point I should be able to dump it with Mtk Client, build a TWRP for it and have a custom recovery on my Android tv. From there I would pry want to do some sort of custom stock rom for it. What do you guys think? Anyone else have this tv and want to coop on a project?

Hi Alex,

I couldn't find a fix for this issue and the TV is really annoying to use - everytime I turn it on, the sound is laggy/interrupted and the voice pitch is higher than normal, so I have to do a "cold restart" (basically unplug/replug the TV from the 220V wall socket).

I cannot force a downgrade and I cannot update the firmware (as I am already on the latest version, the one with HEVC x265 codec, QV151E_000.006.172.000).

Is there any chance that I could go back to the previous firmware (QV151E_R0.5.38.219) that worked fine?

many thanks,

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

1) Disconnected the TV from power

2) Press the local joystick downwards (keep it pressed) and connect the TV to power

3) Keep the joystick still pressed for about 5 seconds before you release

4) TV start up with the recovery screen

Install the old version via "apply update via SD" - when everything worked, make a factory reset!

Hiho, I hope anyone knows about my problem.

I bought a 65PUS8505 and have questions regarding the settings.

All settings I change in "Android settings" get reset after 1-2 days. Screensaver, TV name, ..., whatever. If I change anything here, after the TV stays some time in standby or get powercycled is reset to default again.

Does anyone know of a solution to this? Philips support is ultimately useless and has only advised me to install the latest software update again and reset the TV to factory settings (which I did, did not work obviously...).
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Tomcatdc:
Hi, recently my 65PUS7601 decided not to start anymore.

After power-on the PHILIPS shield logo under the screen lights up, red LED blinks softly while OS is booting, stops normally after a while, no LED Level 1 errors.

But - no backlight (BL), no PHILIPS logo on the screen, no picture, no Ambilight!

I could attribute backlight fault to BL controller and/or LEDs, but why no Ambilight at the same time? Ambilight is powered separately, from mainboard itself, right?

I've run service updates (upgrade_loader.pkg and autorun_*.upg) with different versions, same behaviour - USB stick LED blinks for about 20 minutes, then PHILIPS shield turns off, then on, the TV goes to standby. After power-cycle everything is the same - no picture, no ambilight.

Since the recovery.log (attached) is being written, basically Android is alive on the board, I presume? What should I look for in that log?

Tried to Set Option Code - seems to react normally (?), after some delay shield goes off then on, etc. But still no picture, no Ambilight.

Checked Pin 2 (BL on/off) on the main connector from SSB to PSU - it remains low. Have pulled it up - after that had power on both BL LED driver boards (approx. 18V) but still no backlight.

The BL LED drivers are being controlled via small flat cable coming from mainboard - means no signal?

I'm going to get the boot log with SERV.U serial port but have to find a suitable connector first...

Maybe meanwhile someone has an idea what's going on and where to check else?

Thanks!
