OK i am loving this TV cuz every little issue i have had i have been able to fix.

EXCEPT ONE.

i cannot change video settings (contrast, brightness, colour etc) for the androidTV... i can do so when on my HDMI devices such as my PS4...

been trying to calibrate my screen with a calibrator i downloaded, i know each HDMI device retains its own settings, so what i was going to do was calibrate it then screenshot those settings and apply them to my PS4s HDMIs Video settings, BUT while on AndroidTV nothing changes, i can put colour to 0 and still see colour.

ive tried every front end thing i can think of turning on/off the custom color settings (god spelling that, that way, looks so wrong). Ive messed with pretty much everything and cannot get it to brighten, darken, go B&W, cant get it to sharpen nor smoothen out, nor turn into a screen of colourful puke, nothing.... just sliders that do nothing.... except when on my HDMI devices.

even tried (just now) opening the calibrator app thru my dashboard while on my PS4, but it just opens it via AndroidTV.

I have problems with chromecast on a new philips android tv. I noticed that a lot of options in the settings of android are missing. Example ‘clear cache’ and ‘turn off app verification’. Is there a way to show them and change them? In developer mode, are these settings showing?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] gruniu78:
I have a Philips with Ambilight and the led backlight is set so that when the TV is turned off, the ambilight shines. After the last update, despite this setting in the menu (amblight / advanced / TV off / gradual off), the backlight turns off immediately :(​

Does anyone know how to set it? I will add that I used to have a problem with HDMI and factory reset helped, but now it did not help.​

ok if its a Problem based on the App. Maybe you can use this App--->Plex--->on your Smartphone and then mirroring the Screen to the Tv. If the App working without issue on your Smartphone^^

Hi...

sorry but i think you missunderstand. its no the Problem to connect multible BT devices. The Problem is that the Tv does not find Bt devices for example...Smartphones!!! My normal Smart-Tv from Toshiba in my Sleeping-Room instantly ask for connect to my Smartphone after turn on. The Philips Android-Tv doesnt find any of my different Bt devices like one/any of my Smartphones for example or the Bt Soundbar and so on. Its cause the Bt from the Philips Tv isnt normal/standart Bt-Protokoll.

Btw the setting in Dev-Options you talking about isnt in the Dev-Options of the Tv integrate...its not in there...but there are some of the Options not n the Dev-Options of the Tv^^

Hi everybody, i've got a 43PUS8535, i was wondering if anybody found a remote remapper that doesnt break the volume buttons.

Every single one i tried works fairly well, but disable the long press on the remote (for example to change volume while keeping the button pressed).

Thanks.

I wonder if stadia mean we are getting a android 10 upgrade for TPM191E devices!?!

Seems that has been required at least currently.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] neande:
Any way to get the Philips Iplayer app for the UHD Euros broadcast anywhere.. without setting the TV to UK and reinstall it etc. Someone can upload it somewhere maybe. And will it even work then..

I have the standard Android TV app now made for Google TV I think apk sideloaded from somewhere but it doesnt have the Ultra HD option and Google TV isn't on the supported devices here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/help/questions/features/uhd-connected-tv/

Philips Androids TVs are though.

thanks maybe lol

Sad that there are no news regarding this, but anyways, thanks for your answer.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shadowgodd:
yeah i noticed since update that option has been removed.

wierd once i connected all my devices to mine (My android, BT keyboard&touchpad, and my Dualshock4) it continued to find them.

i wonder, do you shut off the TV or put it in stand by?

try just using Stand by.

also use your smartphone to find and connect to the TV rather than TV to phone.

as for soundbar i dont have one so i cant help you too much there.

As i said mine founf and finds all mine... might consider exchanging yours? it may just be glitchy or dropped in transport which may have wiggled loose the BT.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] speedson:
Hi...

yeah all of my Devices can find the Tv by searching for Bluetooth Devices. But if i try to connect them to the Tv there come a info that it is not possible to connect to the Tv.

If i remeber correctly i read in forum that it should not possible anymore to connect any Device....hold on...i remeber that i talking with the Philips Support Agent. He said it to me.

Hi, I have a Chinese Phillips 32PHF6365/T3. As you can imagine everything is in Chinese and there is no access to the app store. How can I replace the current firmware by something in English or any other western language where the app store would be unblocked? Thank you very much. Alex

Hi guys! I've just bought a Philips 70PUF8205/T3 smart TV. Though it's only available in China, I wish to watch Netflix & other stream services on it (such as Disney+). I have the ability to make it connect to those services above, but I'm not clear if it has DRM and supports UHD videos.

Something like that and check the widevine dialogue.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Mark Zhang:
Thank you! I will try this once my new TV arrives.

Philips is one of the few International smart TV manufacturers in China, but I don't know I bought a China-only model 🤣🤣🤣
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Kenora_I:
K

Yeah i hate this tv

CVTE made the board but the OS is crap with most base android tv features missing or removed.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Mark Zhang:
The OS and the controller of the TV really shocks me. Functions of install apps from local, network proxy are removed from system, and the controller doesn't have a "Menu" key -- only "Home" or "Settings". 嘤嘤嘤~

It is hard to find out solutions to install foreign apps because the app store is full of ads and some useless CHN apps. The settings interface is helpless as well because it only has few options about the system. I've seen there's some firmware for 8204/8105 series on the Internet. But I can't get their details to confirm whether I can flash it on my device.

I'll try to download the official recovery image and find something useful from it.

Maybe #3104 can be solved once we finished works on my model.

Additional Informations:

1. Chinese Philips TV's UI is very different from others. (I'll attach some photos later) Meanwhile, there's few Chinese geek interested in smart TV, so Chinese forum won't help us.

2. This model's CPU has 4 cores. A73*2 and A56*2, the RAM & ROM of it is 3+32GB.

3. Files from USB drive cannot be full showed directly from the system. Any files expect video, image and music will be hide.(Include .apk files)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Kenora_I:
I tried doing it on my Impex TV too but I cant access recovery or do anything.

The setting menu on its tv sucks as much.

The people from CVTE made the software.

Their name is all over it.

I have the PUS8535. Has anyone tried connecting Xbox One controller directly to the TV? I tried to connect the Nintendo Pro Controller to play games on Stadia, but button mappings are messed up and apart from the left stick, most other buttons are mixed up. I wonder if it's just the Nintendo Controller or the TV. I don't want to shell out for the Xbox pad if it will work like crap too.

Just recieved a update today for my philips TV and the 4k issue with youtube seems fixed.

Still no HDR on amazon Prime, and still stuck with Android 8.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Kenora_I:
I dont even get updates nonetheless use prime.

The damn Impex manufacturer are the worst. You got lucky with phillps
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nctrns:
I'll answer myself. I have managed to borrow an Xbox Pad, and it works perfectly. It seems the tv might have a hardcoded pad layout or some kind of bug in BT implementation.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shawt:
Hello guys. Would you know if Philips just hide some features/settings in different models which could be turn on from hidden menu?

I bought OLED706 and this is without RC with MIC and also setting for BT remote controll pairing is missing. This is only marketing how to meke people buy more expensive TV.

Higher model 806 has this feature. Even lower older model 705 has it. In attached, you can see setting which my model doesn't have.

Philips 55POS9002 android 9 or 10 news ??? @Toengel thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] 7adm:
Hey guys!

Ran into some issues with my 50PUS7394 after the latest firmware upgrade (TPM191E _ 101.002.098.000 – Date: 2021/07/30).

When using DTS with my XBOX One, the sound now stutters and clips all the time. Haven't had this problem with the previous firmware. Alas, I am forced to use DTS with my XBOX, as any Dolby Digital option presents me with a considerable sound delay.

Now I was hoping to downgrade the firmware with the help of toengel's site. I downloaded the appropriate firmware file (TPM191E _ 101.002.022.002 – Date: 2021/05/14 (Upgrade_Loader) and followed the instructions to the letter: I'm using an USB 2.0 pendrive formatted it with 64kb allocation and put the upgrade_loader.pkg in the root directory, killed the power and restarted it with the USB attached. The TV simply starts, without doing the update process (I've tried both USB ports).

What am I missing?

I've also tried to enter the recovery mode by holding the hardware-joystick down, and initiate the update process from there, but the only thing this does is erase and factory-reset. I was not able to enter the recovery with this method, and right now I don't have a male-male USB cable to try with adb.

Any suggestions how to proceed are greatly appreciated!

@Toengel - Ordered it, we'll see what happens, although when I checked on other adapters I had available it didn't work. Worst case scenario, it will be another gadget that won't be useful for anything. I've also seen a version that works with Nintendo Switch, maybe for some devices this variant should be used?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Wertuo:
Status update: I received the device a few days ago, unfortunately I was unable to get it to work. The module's power light is on, the ethernet LEDs are also working (green all the time, orange blinks from time to time), but the TV itself has not caught the configuration. Wifi is off, DHCP is in the IP settings section. When connecting the module, the entry "An unknown device has been connected" appears. Can anything be done with it? Is there any possibility of configuring it via e.g. ADB?

why do you want the Google TV Launcher instead of the Andriod TV launcher? I think it's worse especially if you use plex or any other local sources. They won't be shown on the start screen anymore. Only Google vetted online streaming services.

Hi,

I searched all around the internet and in this thread, but I didn't find: for development purpose, I'm trying to connect my computer to my 55OLED803/12.

I went to the Android developer menu on my TV and I activated USB debug mode. I restarted the TV.

Then I connected a USB cable from my Windows 10 computer to the USB1 port of the TV. It's not recongnized (nothing happens). Google suggests to install the USB drivers for Philips TV, but I cannot find them!

Obviously adb connect IP:55555 doesn't work and returns "unanthorized", and not authorization message appears on the screen.

Does anyone know how to connect to a Philips TV with adb on Windows?

Thanks

It finally worked with adb connect! To make it work I had to unplug my TV during more than 1 minute. It seems it did the trick!

Philips TVs are quite reliable and have a proven track record. They might not be the top brand for TVs, but you can still count on the brand to produce reliable TVs. The vast majority of Philips Smart TVs are powered by the latest version of Android TV. Your Philips Smart TV can show content mastered in any HDR format, and it intelligently up-scales low-quality footage so it always looks brilliant. You can watch all the below mentioned apps on your Philips Android TV.

Netflix...

Youtube.

Apple TV+

Rakuten TV. ...

Amazon Prime.

Facebook Watch.

Disney+

I bought a 65oled936 in September. The system version is TPM211EA_R.001.001.236.202. After using it, I found that the soundbar's woofer did not work. Later, the seller sent me an NVM.BIN file for me to upgrade, and it worked normally. But after the TV is connected to XSX and VRR is turned on, the color of the screen is abnormal, and the overall color becomes green. So I want to upgrade the system, but the latest official system version is TPM211EA_R.001.001.233.012.upg. After downloading, I put the U disk on the TV upgrade page, and it prompted that no software was found. Maybe the upgraded version is lower than the system version I use. Is there any way to downgrade?

Hi,

i have problem with 5.1 sound from Philips 55OLED705 from other than preinstalled apps. From Netflix and internal media player 5.1 sound is going to reciever via ARC or optical OK. But if i install for example Kodi, VLN or Nova player i cant get 5.1 sound from it. Tryed all settings in apps and also in tv (Digital output type multichannel or Passtrough) and still nothing. Only in Nova player if i enabled passtrough version 2 i got 5.1 but with teriible delay.

I still can return this TV but it is quite hastle with it and i like Ablilight and picture quality of this TV.

Does anybody have same problem with this or similar Android TV?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

if "Nova player" is working (somehow), it's more likely, that it is an issue with the app implementation.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mateusz2552:
Hi, I have 2 Philips 55OLED705 / 12 TVs, on both, after going into standby mode, there is a risk that restarting the TV will not start the screen (which remains black, sound works, ambii works). In this situation, only adb connect IP: 5555 and the reboot -p command that turns the TV off completely (you can also turn it off from the power socket) help. Unfortunately, after several such procedures, the TV does not boot the android and after the Philips logo appears, the red LED starts flashing quickly, only the software flash helps to restore the TV to work. Do you think I came across defective models straight from production?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

did you wait at least 10 minutes after shutdown until start again? The OLED refresh algorithm is still working in this timeframe. Try to connect a USB device with a status LED. When the USB-LED is off, the TV is really off and you can start the TV again.

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mateusz2552:
I understand that after switching to standby mode, the TV still works, but I still do not understand why the matrix is dark after turning it on. I also do not understand why after a few reboots of the TV Android stops booting and the red LED flashes quickly.

(I turned off the TV for 10 minutes, basically unchanged)
