I also have PUS71710 model and have contacted local phillips repair for an R2 upgrade. They said it is possible and also free if "device is not working ok", which should not be an issue :)

They said the following functions are removed: twin tuner, IR remote, 4 uhd hdmi removed and only 2 uhd and 2 "normal" HDMI ports.

But there are also some improvements: USB 3.0., WiFi with ac support and better file types support.

So I have to decide, is it worth it or now? Those of you that upgraded PUS7170 to R2...how is the new system? Is it really android 7.0? Can you check which hardware exactly is installed? RAM, CPU... How is this compared to 2017 models?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
I read R2 upgrade for Pus7100 models is based on PUS6401 model. If this is true, how is ambilight then? Because 6401 is 2 sided and 7100 is 3 sided.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
You do not lose nothing except for the double tuner, i have the R2 since december and it works like a charm, very fast, no need to reboot. You have a lot of possibility and chanche to receive Android 8. Dolby is working , Amazon is working, Ambilight is working.

We will be the onlu with 3d available.

Don't wait hurry up!!

Chiama l'assistenza di philips o in chat, meglio se chiami e parla con Alex, lui ti darà tutte le dritte
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
Thank you for your reply. My TV now works rather fine with the latest update, at least no more reboots, etc, and also youtube SPMC works...its just very slow.

how is the picture quality with R2, I've read it supports HDR now, is it really that much better?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
To be honest HDR and 4k are things that you can live without....... is something good but you don't feel so much their presence.

The R2 now support 5.1 and that is great for me
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
5.1 where? Because I already have 5.1 now.

Its via HDMI hooked to my soundbar and it recognizes dolby digital when using SPMC or just watching TV channel that supports it.

HDR is something that video needs to support? eg blu-rays that have HDR or am I missing something? Can you also watch 4k via youtube app now?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] thefiqs:
DD was / is not a problem but DTS

Edit: oh you talking about other than pus6401. Mea culpa [emoji28]
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
I use netflix and amazon prime video they support 5.1 and 4k/HDR. 2015 tv series had problem with the apps, so the 5.1 was not working because has been disabled and enabled again with R2.

Anyway 4k and HDR are feature you can live without.

Mine 7100 r1 was totally a garbage , now is pretty decent and will have life longer
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] thefiqs:
Can I have a link to this FW? I can't find on philips forum and my TV doesn't find any update. PUS6401, Cheers
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
Please explain this HDR to me, I am confused.

If I use my surface pro that supports HEVC Main10, 10 bit colors, which suppose to be HDR?. And connect my TV to it, does it matter if TV supports HDR or not? Or does it only matter what surface will play via HDMI ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
I also talked to local phillisp repair service and they told me HDR does not come with R2 when upgrading PUS7170 model. Is this true?

Also the hardware in R2 is from PUS6401 model, is this correct? If it it, anybody here owns this model?

---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 AM ----------

Maybe from this website? https://toengel.net/philipsblog/firmware-download/

I see you have PUS6401, do you perhaps have SPMC or KODI installed? Do you have HDR option on the TV itself?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] thefiqs:
I already have the FW downloaded, will flash it in 2 hours. [emoji16] Don't know what HDR option you mean. No HDR option in the current FW. For example if I watch Netflix HDR, the TV shows HDR signal automatically. I will test with Kodi and inform you.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
See here: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/tvs-...ilips-6400-series-43pus640112-review/page/0/1

Philips has finally added HDR support, too, which rectifies several issues I had with the TV when I first reviewed it, so if you bought this TV before June then you'll need to update it. HDR support comes in over a free over-the-air update, and provides a noticeable improvement to the TV's overall picture quality. Colours look much richer and more vibrant, and there's now a lot more detail in the very brightest parts of the screen as well as the very darkest. The update also includes Ultra HD streaming support for Amazon Video, giving you even more choice to getting the most out of its 4K HDR capabilities.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] thefiqs:
Shame on me, I was already on this FW. Still no HDR option. It detects HDR signal automatically just as before. I don't remember Kodi because I had to buy a TV Box because of the lack of DTS support (still not solved). Now HDR is working with Kodi for sure and with Netflix as before. Couldn't find any HDR video on YT where actually the HDR signal message popped up so I believe it's not working in YT. I have no Amazon Prime/Video acc to try.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
Now I am not sure what to think. If HDR works on PUS6401 and R2 PUS7170 is same hardware, why its not working on R2?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

cause HDR is disabled on R-Releases...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
It depend by the panel,the 7100 has LG 8+2 bit screen and R2 allow HDR content, it work for me
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
What about PUS7170 ?

EDIT:

Based on this info: https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/a78d2c2

it is 10bit panel, therefore HDR should work?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

I re-checked... right, on all 7xx0/R2 or /R3 HDR10-Input should work...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
Confirmed it work
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
Thank you, so my local phillips service is wrong, saying HDR will not work.

Are there different type of R2 boards or I am safe to assume that no matter what they say, once I have R2 and correct FW, HDR will work?

Those of you that have R2 and HDR, is picture quality really that better? Does it only work on external players or it can also work with SPMC/KODI?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
HDR on our TV is not so much impressive, I think because on a scale of HDR quality from 1 to 5 we are only at 1. I think you need OLED TV with expensive screen behind to appreciate. Anyway is better than nothing.

HDR is the file you are playing , so if kody is pointing to HDR content it will be displayed
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
Got it, thanks. So if file is coded in HEVC main10@10bit

The only question now is kodi/spmc capable of playing such a "high demand" file on such a poor CPU?

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] vger2097:
Hello,

Yesterday, I just learned here that my 55PUS7170/12 can be "repaired" by Philips with the upgrade of the faulty board by one that is working normally.

But the customer service refuse to apply warranty because I bought this TV 2 years and 18 days ago (December 24th, 2015)...

I will have to pay to have a working TV !

Is someone know the cost of the board, please ?

(I could replace it by myself...)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
I believe you can't do it because ah i know you have to buy 4 or 5 parts and i believe you can't find it on ebay, i just try.

If you have to pay shipment boards and work hour you can buy a brand new tv and sell your to somebody that do not care of android features.

Only the remote cost around 70 euro.

Better you buy a new one today you can find 55 inch tv for 500 euro , better than our TV
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ckarv:
If you can show that the problem has been there before this day, you should be fine. Also, especially in the EU the 2 year warranty is only directional, ie if your product breaks down two weeks after it's "out of warranty", you should still be covered in practice. So I'd argue that since it's reasonably close to the 2 year mark the warranty should still cover you in this case. It would be different if it'd be 4 months over.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
Our local philips repair center have quoted me 250 euros for replacement outside warranty.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
Print those last 10 page of this forum, show them and tell that it is a global recall it must be in warranty lifetime for this problem
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mms99099:
Hi Toengle,

you mean Philips service menu right. could you explain how to because I have the same issue and coldn't enter the srvice menu to fix it.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

if you have 71x0/R2 and 3D is not present (notice: 7600/R3 does not have 3D anymore, cause the upgrade support only passive 3D, not active) in the menu or your TV is still named 6401, then you need to call service: they forgot to install NVM and EED software... this cannot be solved by only changing the option codes manually...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
Does this mean that 3D should work on PUS7170 model with passive 3D?

It's me i come frome the stone age or with android 7 google had enabled the mouse again?

Because after the upgrade to R2 i start again to attack skygo, then i first tried to connect a usb mouse and i notice that it is working perfectly, and then i have installed skygo succesfully.

I never tried before because i always read everywhere that with android 5 google had disabled all mouse features.

Does mouse is working for you also?

49PUS7150/12 R2 Upgrade

Hello everyone, I'd like to share my experiences so far. I live in Finland and have 49PUS7150/12, I noticed from Philips support forums and XDA that they have started to offer hardware upgrades. I've had lots of black screen issues etc. so I put in a service request for my TV. They finally replied today and told me they can indeed do a motherboard swap for this model and following things would change:

- The service will replace the motherboard from 2016 Android TV

- The Android will update from 5 to 6 (and 7 in the future)

- USB ports will update from 2.0 to 3.0

- HDMI ports 3 and 4 will downgrade from 2.0 to 1.4, but two HDMI 2.0 will remain anyhow

- TV model number will have R2 -suffix

- Memory will go from 16 Gb to 8 Gb

- Comes with IR remote instead of Bluetooth

They also mentioned some models will lose 3D, Twin Tuner and will only have one CAM port instead of two.

AFAIK this model will still have Passive 3D after R2 -upgrade, is this correct? Also does anyone have experience with these IR remotes, how are they? Does EasyLink/HDMI-CEC still work? Also I understood HDR will be working after the upgrade?

I am very happy with the Philips customer service so far. I cant wait to get the motherboard swapped, as this TV has had its issues & has been very slow to use and I have read that after the R2 upgrade it will be much faster.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] admiro:
7150R2 upgrade:

- PUS6401 Mother board (QM163e)

- There's Android 7 already

- i think that there's one USB 3.0 port, but poorly powered. The rest is 2.0.

- IR remote, so much better that old one, fast, you don't have to point TV.

- Passive 3D still works

- 7150 had one tuner and one CAM port, nothing changes

- HDR is working

- most import, TV is finally working great!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] anddi:
Thank you for the reply! All of this sounds great, really cant wait to get the mobo swapped! Yes almost two years later finally it'll be working great :)

55PUS7100/R2, upgrade from 55PUS7100/12

QM163E_U_0.15.251.1

My TV is just come back from customer service, after the hardware upgrade from 55PUS7100/12.

I have these problems (probably related problems).

Awakening from standby, always try to start, but after 10/15 seconds performs a cold boot (Philips Logo and after that again Philips Logo & Android Logo).

At 4:00 and at 6:00 it has a spontaneous awakening, starting displaying a TV channel.

Maybe there are two tasks starting at those time; wake up bring to a cold boot; cold boots means start TV displaying a channel.

I tried to completely reinstall TV, but nothing change. And just to sleep during the night I have to unplug TV power supply cable.

Somebody can help me?

Could be any missing operation of customer service performing the upgrade?

Hi,

Is it possible to enjoy kodi and utube in 1080p on a 40PFH5500/88?

I have the latest official firmware (QM152E.0.7.13.0 , android 5.1.1).

- searched this forum for solution, but I am confused as to what is possible and what is not advised; I tried a few things but no results

- I have tried to connect via adb after having enabled USB debugging, but could not connect

- I have tried to use wm size in a terminal emulator, but i got an exception about not having permission to set system settings

Could you please advise what to do? (or pls refer to existing step-by-step instructions that are valid for this model)

I actually somehow managed to fix those bootloops so i wanted to share what i did to others.

I don't think that it is a permanent fix but it works.

I really don't know what the problem is, but it seems that it works.

Also i recommend that you take a picture of the mainboard before disconnecting the cables just in case you forget what goes where. ;)
