aparently I have no problems with my 2018 PUS7803.

The only thing I haven´t know was, that I cannot plug in a external soundbar via bluetooth.

And can someone explain me the diferencies between 2018 PUS 7803, 7503 and 7303?

Dolby Vision colors distorted on 7304

When watching Dolby Vision content from a connected Apple TV 4K on my 43PUS7304, some scenes get distorted. The problem will not be there continuously, but will always occur during the same scenes. I assume it's the TV having problems dealing with Dolby Vision meta-data.

I have to force set the Apple TV to HDR10, in order to get a "normal" picture.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem? TPV Support seems to be oblivious of the issue.

Picture one: Apple TV set to Dolby Vision

Picture two: Apple TV set to HDR10

NVM file for 55PUS7303/12

As my version of NMV is 0.50 on my TV 55PUS7303 bought on July 2019, and the colors are very dull and the image is not so good on HDR programs, I asked for the last version of these files (.bin and .eed, version 0.60) the Philips customer care, but they refused to send it to me. Than I contacted a Philips service ... the service crew told me that they think nothing is going to improve if they will update the version on my TV and, therefore, they are reluctant to do this.

I am not willing to send the TV to service, keep it there several weeks and get it back with the same issue.

firmware version: TPM171E_R107. 001.101.102

Serial number: FZ2A1836022801

So, please, anyone knows from where to get the damn files?

Thank you!

Thank you for your answer!

Then you are telling me I have to accept the fact the TV has an issue that cannot be resolved? Only because I bought 7303 instead 7304 because I liked the older remote very much?

I am an idiot then... I would like to hear what Philips can tell me regarding the fact I want to change the TV because of this issue...

A big 'NO' they will throw me in face, for sure...

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
Hello my experience with Philips is bad and good same time. I bought in 2015 a 55PUS7100, a very nice screen surrounded by very bad hardware and software.

5.1 wasn't working , lot of freezing, frequently and random reboot, need to unplug from the power outlet.

I spent almost 24 month calling and writing to Philips and nothing to do.

I lost my faith but i made my last call to them during the last month of warranty, big surprise! They have a kit to fix my problem. The kit is the famous R2, it is just a part of hardware of another TV with a new NVM.

I gave my tv to the local dealer after 3 weeks they changed the board with the old one , so try to figure how was my mood. then they sent me a box and i sent the tv to the headquarter and after a week i received back the tv.

Final result is that my tv is working like a charme and the upgrades are counting. No more freeze, no more reboot, i have HDR when i bought i didn't.

So please keep fighiting don' t loose your faith!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Dejan1977:
I sent a message to the service regarding the image and NVM file. A service response has arrived. "CHANGING NVM FILES WILL NOT CHANGE THE IMAGE QUALITY". What to do now?:confused:
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] the_dodita:
Me too, something like this.. So, I give up.

I am sorry for my choice because when I wanted to buy the TV I had a 7304/2019 next to this one, but I chose the 7303 because of the more fancy remote control...

That's life!

Have a good day to all!

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] tryfos:
I've posted long ago about all HDR problems with pus7303. Colors are very dull and off most times. Blacks are greish. SDR is much better. But the TV effectively does not have HDR, to a point that I avoid HDR content in eg. Netflix.

Nothing was ever mentioned in all the reviews I read. I wonder what they are testing!

I don't know if this problem can be fixed with a software update. We were promised Pie in 2019, but now I don't even believe there is going to be a Pie update at all.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Jorg:
Yeah, it says 8 bit. Would that be the problem? Looking around for some more information on this, I found this thread on the same issue:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250715577

It's still not clear to me which party is to blame here. Is it an Apple issue, or is it indeed a faulty HDMI implementation on the receiver's end?

I just found out that enabling "Don't keep Activities" in the Developer Settings had been destroying my Philips TV experience for more than 1 year, making my Tv Slower overall, with all Live TV services having to reload every time I went back to live tv and overall everything Android related having to reload.

I have though this was an option to kill only the Android apps in the background.

Can anyone help me.. I have used terminal emulator to run "am start --user ....." To open developer settings and on my TV I was able to enable USB debugging.

My problem is that now I can't seem to connect via adb. The connection over WiFi or lan keeps getting refused.

I did a port scan on the TV, and instead of port 5555 being open for adb connections, its 55555. So I have tried "adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:55555" but the connection is still not working.

Is there an app that I can install on my phone to allow it to act as though it is a PC, and allow me to directly connect it through USB and run these commands?

Really wanna see root on these TV's. So buggy.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] philicibine:
finally connected via adb over lan, but getting device offline. I think there should be a prompt on the tv to allow the connection but there isnt.

The port i used was 8008

So i did this..

1. Install terminal emulator to TV via play store on pc

2. Type this into terminal emulator once installed

am start --user 0 -n com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings

3. Enable debugging

4.

adb connect <IP_OF_TV>:8008

5. Here i am stuck, adb devices shows the tv but as offline. What should i do next??
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ramy911us:
here is some useful way to enable installing Apks from Unknown Sources :

1- Download Terminal Emulator for Android in Google Play Store

2- Start the app and give the terminal the following command:

am start --user 0 -n com.android.settings/.SecuritySettings (the "-" before user are two minus signs)

3- Now open the Security Settings (Security Settings)

4- Now you can check the "Unknown sources" setting (unknown sources)

5- Install Aptoide Apk

6-????PROFIT!!!!;)

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] piraeus:
Hello!

I also received a philips tv 50PUH6400 yesterday and am doing some testing (I also have the sony 55x8505c to compare).

My first reaction compared to the Sony was the resolution used for Lolipop.

On the Philips, it's all in 720p, and Kodi is in 1280x720@50Hz

On Sony, it's all in 1080p, Kodi 1920x1080@60Hz

I can tell you that it makes a huge difference, the philips in 720 is ugly compared to the sony.

I have tried to find if it was possible to change the resolution in the settings but had no luck, if anybody could help me to change it I would be greateful.

I also think that 1080 should be enabled for everybody, since buying a 4K screen to get the interface in 720p is simply the wrong approach.

I will do other testing later, need to learn how to install unknown apps first

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ramy911us:
Hi

i think i get what you are saying,you could try pushing this App through ADB Wireless ,and see how it goes.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] piraeus:
BTW, would you like that we do another threat regarding the Philips TVs based on Lollipop, as it seems that they are quite different from the older ones?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Hi piraeus, I think that is a good idea. That way we could narrow down the discussion to "more relevant" pool of latest Lollipop Philips TV users.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] cmies:
PUK7600 uses 1080p 60Hz for Android. This is direct competitor for Sony 8505C

EDIT: PUH6400 is entry modell 4k android TV, since it has 50Hz panel and dual-core chip and you are comparing it to much higher class Sony.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] piraeus:
I'm maybe comparing to a much higher class Model, but still, first the price difference here between the 50''6400 and the sony 49'' is only 100 USD, and secondly, it's been years now that a dual core can display 1080p so I can't understand why Philips has choosen the 720p option, which really looks low end on a 4K screen, a 1080 panel would have been sufficient in that case

Still maybe someone will find a way to change the resolution...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] outmind:
philicibine,

Nice try) But I can't say what you need do next :(

I hope somebody will get root on this TVs.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Mhdamoody:
unknown sources and enabling all apps in Philips PUS7909/12

Hi, I found this yesterday on the Net, I don't remember the site though :( . Important fact is that it really works! Enjoy

Enabling unknown sources on Phillips PUS7909 series Android smart TV

I recently bought a TV, mainly to watch the upcoming Le Mans race, but also the occasional movie and such. To my surprise, though, the Play Store application only shows very few applications, and you cannot install own APK's on the TV and the Security Settings menu is hidden along with the Developer Settings menu.

So in order to get into those you need a little bit of terminal-fu and a Terminal application. The latter you can get from the Play Store, just grab "Terminal Emulator for Android", which should install without problems.

To get to the menu where you can enable Unknown Sources so your can install 3rd party apps write:

am start --user 0 -n com.android.settings/.SecuritySettings

view rawsec hosted with by GitHub

This will bring up the Security Settings menu, where you can enable Unknown Sources. This allowed me to install apps such as YouSee Film & TV and other apps, which are not available in the Play Store on this device.

To allow more applications being installed on the device, you can open the Developer Options and enable more applications from play store at the bottom. What it essentially does is to tell Play Store that the TV has a touch screen, which is what limits what is shown. To do so write the following in the terminal:

am start --user 0 -n com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings

view rawdev hosted with by GitHub

Many apps only work with touch screens, which is why this is disabled, because it makes it super cumbersome to navigate the application. Even with the air pointer thingie built into the remote, which is super hard to get to point properly. What I did though, was to plug in a USB mouse for those apps which are super hard to use.

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

Hi,

After enabling unknown sources I managed to install playbox HD for android but was shocked to see it only works in portrait Mode! There is no settings in the TV to change that!

So I tried an App by the name "Set Orientation" by Eyes-Free Project and Voila all is well and the app is now on Landscape Mode!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Hi Mhdamoody, yes, this is possible because PUS7909/12 is 2014 Android TV and this was already described in previous posts, so you may have very ver likely read that there.

This however does not apply for 2015 Lollipop models. . .

Hello there

I own a philips 40puh6400 and after reading this thread i understand that philips made a tv with a crippled android system. Not even Terminal Emulator for Android works for me. I can install it via PC Play Store to the tv, but it does not open on the tv.

Any news on this?

Thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] neildradford:
I wonder if anybody can help.

I have a 65PUS7304/12 which I bought and use in Spain, I am from the UK.

It looks like it is using a spanish version of the Play store, as I can't find the usual catch up apps such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub etc.

I already have these apps installed by default but they wont work telling me:

'The manufacturer and/or operating system provider for this device has not secured the necessary rights for this application'

(this is for ITV hub, BBC iPlayer just has a spinning circle when trying to watch anything)

I did choose United Kingdom when I set up the TV, but I'm now back to the original firmware someone on this thread linked me to. I am unsure if there are country specific firmwares.

Is it a simple fact of getting hold of a UK firmware, or is there something else I must do?

As a side note, when I updated to the newest firmware a week or so ago, it installed Freeview play and it also didnt work.

Any and all help is much appreciated.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] DallasCZ:
did you made a factory reset of the tv?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

maybe you also need to setup up your Google Account to a UK one... or just try to install your TV without any google account (for testing purposes)... Factory reset is always a good idea (but you should install the latest firmware). There are no country specific firmwares... one file - multilingual...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] neildradford:
Thanks guys. I'm sure my google account is fine, I've had it longer than I've lived in Spain. I will try another reset, then not sign into my google account.

What are the consequences of not signing in to google?.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] neildradford:
I have pretty much fixed it now by reverting back to the original firmware, then re-updating to the latest firmware.

Weirdly the only way I can launch BBC, itv etc is from within the ‘Freeview play’ app, which loads a side bar listing these apps.

If I try to launch them from their respective icons I just get an error.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] cpasoft:
Some stream content is limited to been watching on the origin country. If you open the BBC Web page on a computer or mobile in Spain, you cannot access to the stream content, because you have an ip from Spain.

You need an IP from UK.
