Hello. I have a TV Philips 43PUS6412/12 and remote control Rii i25a (with voice control). But on TV, voice control does not work. I tried on my old sony mt15i. When i connecting remote control to phone - everything works. But on TV - no way. It can be fixed? What kind of drivers are missing?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Hi,

I am also curious what USB mic works with our Philips Android TV.

I know that we can use the Android TV app on smartphone to send voice comands, but I would like to have a hardware mic also.

I have bought a cheap USB mic from AliExpress but it doesn't work on my Android TV. On Windows it works.

Thank you.

Cheers,

Vlad

if the 7303 gets an update to Oreo i'm pretty sure I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole for at least 12 months - some people just want to enjoy their tv for a while till the minor issues get ironed out :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Then you don't know Philips :) the issues NEVER get ironed out :)

50PUS7303/12 relay noise during watching

Hi,

I have a 50PUS7303/12.

During watching TV, when the image is getting darker, that is a relay that is going on and off again and again.

The sound is powerful and very annoying.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

I have to ask you since you & I have the same tv, I have two problems with of them a major one, after replacing my original 7120 board with 6401 board, the tv picture & performance is great however when you navigate through settings or connect your game console you'll notice the backlight acting on every movement spicially whith the white colors. The other problem is minor which after turning off tv for like 10 seconds the ambilight starts and stays that way. Did you have this problems and did you solve them?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

the 7120 does not have a real upgrade kit - so you are running the 6401 board without NVM/EED?

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mms99099:
With or without edd/nvm it still works but it doesn't solve all the problems

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

My orginal board had awful input lag that made gaming on it worse, thats why I replaced original 7120 board with 6401 one
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] bothered:
There is a setting in (all settings where you can set the ambilight to turn off immediately. I beleive you have it to fade out)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mms99099:
I tried that but it didn’t work, thanks anyway

The channel mapping sucks why the hell are it not by country if i want to map Internet EPG for tex Viasat History that is under 10960 and the remote nr is max 9999 i have to type in 9999 and then go true channel name by channel name until get to 10960......
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Phillips has nothing to do with the way your cable provider is mapping the channels.

Why do you think it is Phillips fault?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Ankfejs (Duckface21):
[/COLOR]

i dont use my cabel operators EPG i use Philips internet EPG that u can set to use under tv settings Generally-->Advanced--> TV-guide

its better and u get channel logos and pictures in EPG but it could be better to mapp channels to right EPG info if its wrong in automapping
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
I still don't understand. What does EPG has to do with the channel number?

Internet EPG isn't correct in my case on most of the channels I have, as it is not linked to the correct channels. This is usefull if you don't have Broadcast EPG on your Cable Provider. But I believe all of us have Broadcast EPG. I believe it is best to use Broadcast EPG instead.

I always use the Broadcast EPG as it is more acurate and managed by the Cable Provider. It is always spot on.

Also, I have icons on channels. This is not related to Internet EPG. It is another, non related setting, for TV Channel logos/icons.

I still don't understant what is the connection between Internet EPG, Channel Logos and the Channel Numbering you are having issues with.

The Channel Numbering is provided by the cable provider and has nothing to do with the TV manufacturer.

I have multiple TV Brands and all of them have the DTV Channels on the same location number, on all of them, even if they are different brands, Samsung, LG or Philips.

Cheers,

Vlad
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Ankfejs (Duckface21):
Activate internet EPG under settings and then go to EPG page and change EPG info under the 3 dots on EPG page try change beond 9999 (not channel nr!) ( but the list u change EPG!) u cant jump in the list beond 9999 ....

If EPG is wrong on Internet EPG u can mapp the correct EPG to the correct channel there!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Now I think I understand. I guess your issue is with the EPG app itself. It is really hard to follow your writting.

Why don't you use Broadcast EPG instead? What is your issue with it?

If you set and use Broadcast EPG you should not have mismatched channels.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Ankfejs (Duckface21):
The mismatched channels is not the problem its the way thy have it working to fix the incorrect mismatch it should be simpler !! like select list by country so that ju dont have to go thru so much EPG channels to find the right one!!

I can always get the right EPG on Internet EPG i just hate the way the set it upp that is all!

I use Internet EPG for i get bakgrounds from the program on the info page and it dont stops the video/audio in background on EPG Page.... The Broadcast EPG is just ugly i want luxury hehe
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
:) then luxury we should have then :))))

I have bigger problems with Philips :) Like the 3D not working properly after upgrade, and after tens of people reporting this issue on their support page. And I don't think they will ever fix this. I also contacted the Support Manager for TP Vision here in Romania and he forwarded my 3D issue email and he didn't receive any response from the tehnical team. Now, from my point of view, I can always request my money back. But I don't want to let this issue like it is now. It is not fair that we should be treated like garbage by a company that took our money for a product that is not working properly.

They closed the support forum. They don't want to see people reporting their bugs. They like to have their heads in the sand, so they don't hear anything bad about their broken products. If they ignore the problem long enough, it will disapear. What a piece of **** of a company.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Hi All,

Happy New Year :)

Please help me with a picture of the Display properties from AIDA64 running on a PUS6401 or PUS7150/12 (not upgraded)

My TV is a 55PUS7150/R2 and the refresh rate of my display is being reported as having only 50Hz, and I know that my display was 60Hz before the upgrade.

60Hz is being reported on other sites also.

And I believe this is the reason why I have stutter in YouTube app, and why the YouTube app isn't able of playing anything at 60FPS.

I mention that all my external devices work at 60FPS just fine.

I believe this is only affecting the internal Android Apps, like YouTube and all the rest. If we could change this to 60FPS we could enable 60FPS YouTube videos and maybe we can also solve the stuttering issues we are all having.

Does anybody have any idea what is up with this display being reported as only 50Hz in AIDA and Kodi?

Can we change it from the Service Menu to 60Hz?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,

Vlad
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Ankfejs (Duckface21):
yea i can live whit the epg correction but i want a fix for bitstream on tv app i have no 5.1 on tv channels after last update that fix is far more important to me!!! my 7181/12 dont have 3d so i cant go in on that :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nineoneone24:
Hi Vlad. Aida64 is reporting 50 Hz on both my TVs. One is 49PUS7100/R2, the other 55OLED803, both on android 7. I have a problem with the last version of Youtube app on my 7100 tv. It's not working, so i have to keep it on previous version. Cheers.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

I have a friend that has a low end 55PUS6482/12, 4K TV with Android TV from 2017 and on his TV, and AIDA64 and KODI reports the display as being 60Hz and 4K YouTube videos work at 60FPS. I have attached photos with proof of this. So YouTube isn't limited to 30FPS on Android TV, as we where all told by Philips.

55PUS6482/12 is at half the price of the OLED TV you have. And it has 60 FPS YouTube videos working just fine.

Also all YouTube videos work fine on PUS6482 with no stutter, it doesn't matter if the video is 24/25/30/60 FPS, 4K or Full HD. All of them work fine, even in 4K 60FPS. For me, any YouTube videos that have 30 FPS have horrible stutter, it doesn't matter if it is 4K or Full HD. All of them have stutter once every 5 seconds or so. Any 24/25 FPS videos on the other hand work just fine and smooth, 4K or Full HD, all 24/25 FPS videos work just fine all the time. And I think this is related to the 50Hz display limitation we have.

I have the cheapest 55" LG 4K with WebOS 3.0, and 4K 60FPS YouTube videos work smooth and just fine, without any issues. And it was 2/3 the price of the 55PUS7150/R2.

You would think YouTube would work best on Android TV, as both of them are made by Google. But you would be wrong.

If you find a way we can change this 50Hz of the Android OS to 60Hz, please let me know.

I think this will enable 60FPS YouTube videos and also will fix the stutter we are all having.

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,

Vlad

Just asking... Are you sure those EED and NVM files are suitable for Android Oreo?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
The files are working the same on Android 8 like they worked on Android 7. The 50Hz was the same on Android 7. Also, the 60FPS didn't worked on Android 7. Also, the stuttering was the same. So it seemed the NVM.EED and NVM.BIN files are both working the same as before. I have tried newer files with no HDR and the 50Hz is the same. Also, YouTube works the same. I have 30FPS limit and and stutter on 30FPS videos once every 5 seconds or so.

I have seen that you have uploaded 2 photos, one with 30 FPS and the other with 60 FPS. Can you mention from what TV's they are?

YouTube is working at 60FPS on the 50Hz OLED Screen?

The 30 fps is the 7100 tv, and the 60 fps is the OLED ine, but both are in Android 7 and both are reported by Aida64 on 50 Hz.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Thank you.

Then it seems that the 30 FPS limit on Android is not generated by the 50Hz reported by AIDA64/KODI.

Alex from Toengel told me that his OLED is also reported as having 50Hz but his YouTube is limited to 30 FPS.

Hi Alex, can you please double check this?

PS:

Either way, it is still strange that a low end cheap TV from 2017 is reported by AIDA and Kodi as being 60Hz display, but a much more expensive OLED is reported as being only 50Hz. And I believe this refresh rate is directly related to the Android GUI.

I just upgraded to Android 8 my old tv, but the YouTube 2.04.05 is not working. Any ideeas?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:

Did you tried a factory reset on your TV after upgrade?

PS: or maybe just try and clear Data and Cache for YouTube app alone. Maybe it helps.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nineoneone24:
Yes, i did a factory reset, this version didn't worked on Android 7 either. I will try to flash EED,NVM files.

Hi,

all information regarding the Philips hardware upgrade kits for 2013, 2014 and 2015 Philips TVs: https://toengel.net/philipsblog/201...pgrade-kit-fuer-2013er-2014er-und-2015er-tvs/

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Hi Alex :)

I have posted the following on your blog, just to recap my experience with the upgrade until now.

So, I have 55PUS7150/R2, upgraded by the Philips Service in Romania on warranty.

I will start with the bad things, just to end in a positive note, with the good things after update :)

Negative:

- Passive 3D is not working properly. It only works on 4K sources. So no real 3D for PS3/Xbox360 3D capable games. There is no real 3D depth, you see the same picture with both eyes. More precisely, you see only the left half of the 3D SBS picture with both eyes. In my case, 3D works as it should only on Xbox One S as it can output 4K signal to the TV.

- I have stutter in YouTube with 30 FPS videos once every 5 seconds or so. 24/25 FPS videos work just fine.

- There are no real 60 FPS videos in YouTube. They all work at 30 FPS with stutter.

Positive:

- Android TV 8 Oreo.

- No more freezes and random reboots.

- No more unplug from the power line every day.

- NO MORE INPUT LAG FOR GAMES !!!

Once you set Game picture mode, you can play console games with low input lag (30ms). On the old board I had 120ms input lag in game mode. Nothing was playable with the old board, with 120ms input lag.

- Better sound in my case. Sounds louder and more clearer. Now I can set the Bass and Treble to the max, and the sound is perfect, even on jack out.

- Improved functionality for Ambilight. Now we can set Ambilight by Audio Sound, and it is really cool :)

- PlayStation 1 and 2 now work as it should via Composit/Component/RGB/Euroscart input. Before, I had issues with picture with PS1 and PS2 consoles, the screen was flashing, I had to unplug the video cord from the console every time the console changed the resolution of the video output.

Over all, it is a good upgrade. Even for me, as I wanted to keep all things working, including 3D. If I had to choose, I would clearly go with the hardware upgrade. I highly recommend it.

Thank you Alex for all your hard work and support >:D<

Cheers from Romania,

Vlad

Hi,

what is the experience of Oreo on PUS6401 (original /12) please?

I did not like the audio passthrough (no DTS via optical/ARC) on Kodi/SPMC, I suppose this is still not working, right? What about Youtube?

Sorry if this question annoys anyone, but I'm finally used to previous release's bugs and I live with how it works (Youtube had to be rolled back to work, no Chromecast until Youtube app is started manually, and so on). I would not like to exchange previous versions bugset for another one.

is it worth upgrading?

49pus7503 suddently no TV signal

Hi,

i'm experiencing a strange issue on my 49pus7503/12 (oreo, latest system update), randomly and suddently i lost the TV cable signal:

1 time happened during standard TV watch

4-5 times after Netflix use > open netflix, watch anything for 1-2 hours, click on TV button >>> no signal found

when this problem happened i've tried to:

update channels list (the process is completed but nothing changed)

re-install (the process is never completed, stuck at 50% and the issue with signal is not resolved)

turn off - turn on the tv (nothing changed)

the only way is to unplug-replug the TV electric wire. in that case Android restarts and anything works fine (also the re-install channels process can be initialized and completed 100% without problems)

Phillips support told me to de-activate HBB, and now i need to check if the problem will occur again, but i'm not so confidenti about it.

Has anyone experienced similar issue? do you have any hint?

thanks in advance!

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] cpasoft:
This could be bandwidth problem. Try to watch this file from wireless 5G net. This kind of movies has a huge bit rate, and the ethernet cable and the USB maybe is not enough for it.

I guess kodi has auto bitrate optimization & cache, and this is why kodi works so well.

Anyway, kodi is a very good player. I use it a lot.
