Hi, I also have OLED 804 and google home since about 5 months and I can turn ON/OFF, start music or youtube video, and adjust volume. Using it almost every day especially for OFF when kids left TV ON.

Switching TV channels indeed doesn't work but switch off should.

Then you may try to reset TV or google home.

I know its hard to understand how to debug google home when it doesn't work, as you just get some messages like "I can't turn off TV" or "check that your TV can do this"..
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] pkozerski:
thanks for reply, I thought that turn off doesnt work with OLED 804, now I know that its possible so will try to fix this somehow :)

for me youtube netflix etc also work ok

swich channel works when I use google home from remote controller asistant
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Mark0x:
Yes, same for me but I find it weird that built-in google assistant is not able to "speak" with google home so that I can switch channels without using the remote. If I have the remote in my hand its faster to just push the "1" button to play channel "1" or change source. The real advantage of google assistant is to be able to do it when you don't have the remote or need your hands to do something else, for example feeding the baby :laugh:

About turning off tv, one thing I just remember is that if I sjust say "turn off the TV" it says that the TV is not capable to do that. But if I say "turn off the living room TV", it works.... Thats a nonsense because when I just say "turn on TV" it works, and moreover I only have one TV, but.... that's google home...

Hi there, I have 2 questions, do we have any custom firmware for PUS6401 or it's never going to be a thing?

Other, I have 2 of these devices in my household, one has no issues at all, another one has some serious bleed or whatever to call problem. Any way to deal with it? The partner goes crazy about it. I believe it's already out of warranty. Please see the pic and advise.

Hi!

[MENTION=8673431]Toengel[/MENTION]: do you maybe have some information if 55POS9002/12 (2017 model) will get some update or it is game over for it? I have latest update (Oreo ithink) on it which i'm quite happy with (works ok), but i wouldn't mind if there will be some new stuff :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] miljenko:
To me this look like a physical damage, display is hit or TV fell down.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] thefiqs:
No damage at all. I would have mentioned at the first place. She said first it was one spot and now multiple.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] miljenko:
To me this looks like physical damage, each spot is LED light and screen is pressed against them. If LCD itself is not damaged this should be repairable
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] thefiqs:
I understood it looks like physical to you. I can't stress enough it hasn't been damaged. Why would I sate if it's otherwise?

Better if I contact LG.

Thanks anyway.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] illetyus:
Hey Toengel.

I just updated my 65PUS8204/12 tv's NVM from 0.60 to 0.61 and it seems that my overall brightness in HDR increased dramatically.

I dont know why but colors are more accurate than ever.

What does NVM do actually? So little information i have ...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] apekiyi:
Hello everyone,

I have a Phillips 55PUS7909 TV.

I tried to update a previous version of my TV via USb Stick. When it was done I clicked reboot on the recovery mode and right now only Phillips screen is coming 5 times and then the Tv does not open correctly. Also I can not reach recovery mode too.

I read something about NVM.eed but I do not understand where I can find this file

Can anyone help me about that situation ? How can I find recovery files for 55PUS7909? and is it possible to recover my TV even if I can not reach recovery mode ?

Thanks for your advise..I am brand new about android technologies. :)

Factory mode how to exit

Hello. Have a problem with Philips 55pus7303 - its going in FACTORY MODE (green text in left corner and text TF in right corner) - in this mode i can only view some inputs like hdmi, no menu and Android. Recovery mode does not work, firmware upgrade not solve the problem. How can I exit this Factory mode for loading Android? Thank you.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Lazzah:
Hi, I have a philips PUS7101, it loses the wifi connection, and it is impossible to reactivate the WIFI option in the menu. The wired connection is not detected. Tried factory reset but it doesn't work anyway!

Anyone have any advice? Thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] akilleas:
I had the very same problem with my PUH6400. Tried factory reset many times and then the service came and took it for 10 days and they brought it back saying there is no problem.

By chance I changed the router and since then problem solved!!!!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] DallasCZ:
just reboot the router.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Lazzah:
Router rebooted several times. And perform rest. All other devices have no problem.

In addition, the TV does not display any networks, such as that of neighbors or the phone's hotspot.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] akilleas:
For my case I tried that many times with no luck.

I have a 32pfs6402 (which probably is the 50hz model of 32pfs6401) and wonder if anyone know how to get beyond android 7.12?

Can't seem to find much info at all on this model unfortunately.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

6402 = 2017 Model

6401 = 2016 Model

(but both share the same firmware and Nougat is the latest what you can get for this platform)

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Vispen74:
I've got the 32pfs6401. The difference seems to be the support for 5 Ghz wifi on the newer 6402.

The lack of updates for this TVs is a shame, I had some correspondence with Philips regarding this, and they told that there isn't any updates in the pipe for those TVs, so I guess it was a bad move to buy any of those rather expensive 32" TV sets. I guess the next 32" will be TCL or Xiaomi.

Thanks guys, I have it in my caravan so i'll probably use over this season and then sell it.

I actually like it anyway, pretty slim with potentially good performance. A shame to see it neglected from the manufacturer.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

both 6401 and 6401 are using hardware from 2016... they are just End of Life... Nougat is running well on these TVs... what are you missing? Even Disney+ is running...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Fjumes:
I'm not missing anything, yet.

I just bought it and i didn't know it was that old, for once i didn't google the hell out of it before i went for it.

It fits perfectly, size wise in the caravan and it talks to my hue-bulbs, it has built in chromecast and so on. Really nice actually.

So it will become obsolete much faster than I was hoping for, thats all.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Trilyan:
I'm trying to connect my Philips Android TV to ADB. I'm getting that the device isn't authorized. If I do a 'ADB connect ' then it tells me I'm already connected. It's true that it's not authorized since I don't get the popup on my TV to authorize it.

I searched around on the internet and found a few things. Revoking all authorizations, killing the adb service and restarting it, removing the adb keys in the .android map and setting the TV on a TV channel (cause apparently the popup doesn't show in the Android menu).

Are there other things I can try to resolve this problem?

adb connect IP:5555

daemon not running; starting now at tcp:PORT

daemon started successfully

failed to authenticate to IP

No RSA on TV, so it fails to authenticate

adb devices

List of devices attached

IP:5555 unauthorized

Could not find much on Phillips TVs for ADB connections either. Any help will be appreciated
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Vispen74:
For example a simple thing as be able to delete or forget a privious connected wifi, that is not possible on these TVs. Im also missing the new ui from Oreo onwards. Sony is just upgrading their 2015 series to Oreo... I think two years of life time with firmware updates for a relatively expensive 32“ tv of 2016 (or 2015) series TV is way to short. It sucks big time to be honest.

Specially when considering that the 6402 is still in production.

late to the party..but for anyone who was still looking to ADB into their TV

I may have lucked out, or I'm just nosy :p

I have a 50PFL5604/F7 (50" 4k 5604 series) from Wally World. First thing after plugging it in, I let it boot up.

From the built-in launcher, I clicked up into the settings menu. Down at the bottom of the "Device" heading/cluster of settings, I saw "About". Last option, below 'Storage & reset', above 'Date & time' ... Naturally, 'click'!

Scrolled down to the bottom-most entry: 'Build'. Thought, "meh...close enough. An Android's an Android, right?" clickclickclickclickclickclickclick!

Sure enough, I've got Developer Settings!

But what about ADB? Android's an Android, right? I pull out my phone and run Fing. Sure enough, I can see its address...figuring 'why the hell not..' I pull up the terminal on my laptop (running Kubuntu 20 LTS) and start up ADB in tcpip mode..

'adb tcpip 5555'

[blahblah about starting the daemon]

'adb connect 192.168.0.39' (the address I got from Fing for the TV)

[adb connected 192.168.0.39]

Just like that? No cables/adapters/cryptic hardware button combos/hassle?

ayyyup.

So now what should I try, youguise?

New update out for my TV. (50PUT6400/12) Hoping its a bit more stable. And maybe I can get adb working on it ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] -chrizz-:
Hey Guys

iam new here to the forums.

I got an 49PUS7170 from Philips which is running on Android 5.1

With the commands via terminal i was able to open Debugging Options and enable USB Debugging.

But with the unknown sources option iam stuck.

I can get to the menu via terminal but iam unable to activate the point.

When i want to push an apk via adb - i get the error

Failture [INSTALL_FAILED_USER_RESTRICTED]

And when i want to enable the unknown sources option via adb with

adb shell settings put global install_non_market_apps 1

I get:

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denial: user is restricted from changing this setting

Does anybody have an solution for this? How can i get this, i think there is no way because the User the TV is running has insuffident rights

Thanks

Best Regards Christoph

has anyone tried button combinations to get into recovery mode? Maybe adb is available in recovery??
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Joe_DOW:
Someone wrote that only update from sd and restart apear in recovery
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] -chrizz-:
Hey Guys,

adb is no problem with my 49PUS7170 TV. But its useless for me? Or what are you guys planning to do with adb?

Enabling unknown sources is the Problem.

But this i think is an Lollipop Issue. With the user (secondary user) provided, we got no rights to enable unknown sources.

I think the TV must be rooted to gain access to enable developer options / unknown sources.

Correct me if someone has a solution for this or this statement is false.

Thanks

Christoph
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Joe_DOW:
Also do you have wifi issues?

It keeps disconecting and dont find any wifi signals at all. Need to pull out of power socket and plug back in. And than it works for a little longer
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] -chrizz-:
No - my 49PUS7170 is running stable. Sometimes in menues there ist some lag (sometimes its takes longer to react).

Booting TV in Recovery i think it can be possible with downloading Firmware from Phillips manually.

The zip contains the autorun.upg - when i extract the File there is a recovery.img inside.

I dont know if its possible to get recovery by modifying the autorun.upg or further with editing to get root?

EDIT: with adb reboot recovery i can go in recovery mode and install update from zip or reboot.. but nothing else to do there..

Philips Android TV 2015

Hi,

I have same philips 49PUS7170 TV as Chrizz . I bought this tv because I wanted to create my own games/applications for Android tv. I tried same things to unlock unknown sources on tv. (terminal emulator commands SecuritySettings/DeveloperSettings, db wifi debugging, install backup .apk package by google drive, unlock unknown sources option via adb shell) but unsuccessfully :( .

I wrote mail to philips support (philips POLAND, philips UK and philips GLOBAL consumer care)

I received mail from UK and POLAND support but

sill waiting

for philips global support message.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] -chrizz-:
Right - i got the same response on phillips support forum.

I dont know but they wont discuss on this.

I think they are to weak, to set the right for second user which is disabled by default.

I think that sucks **** really. Because at 2014 Models (with Android 4) from philips, it is still possible to enable unknown sources.

And i read that Sony allows to enable unknown sources on their Android 5 TVs (Models from 2015).

Security Reasons.. What the ****? There is a reinstall option in the system.. It can be reset if something goes wrong.

Android isnt running on the whole TV System its a part of it i think.

If anyone found a possibility to root the 2015 Android TV models from philips please let me know..
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] philicibine:
Has anyone tried extracting an uprade file? Could we modify one to install su?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dorio:
The upgrade file is encrypted, apparently philips took great care in locking us down from the OS.

Maybe someone will find a way to access the user that has all the privileges, most probably the one used by philips.

Until then all 2015 tv's are stuck to default apps.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] casefan7:
I've recently bought an 40PUK6400/12 and I'm quite happy with it.

Android TV is no UHD, but when you open apps like Netflix you can play native UHD content without any problems.

Also 4k 30hz is no problem via HDMI (unfortunatelly I don't have any HDMI 2.0 capable devices to play from, I'm trying to get a 60hz capable mini-displayport 1.2 / thunderbolt 2 to hdmi 2.0 adapter/cable but they are hard to find.)

I've added WS2182b ledstrips around the panel (on the backside) and from external sources I can now enjoy my own diy ambilight. There is, however, an Android version of the screengrabbing software which means that when this TV is finally rooted I can have a fully contained ambilight running without any external sources or adapters.

Is there any way in which I can contribute to help achieve root on these devices? I'm no die-hard-programmer, but I know my way around fastboot/adb/terminal/linux and as long as I don't brick my TV i'm willing to try anything. :)

I've been reading this thread and it seems that it is only a matter of time before the older Philips Android TV models will get root, but the newer models seem to be even more closed off, is there any other source of information on the internet about this except for this thread?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] fratzika:
Hi all,

1. Does anyone know if 2018 series 7303 or 8303 will get android 9 any time soon (~2020)? I can see that all other tv's get updates except the 2018 7303 and 8303 (and maybe 2018 oleds too).

2. I have a bug that is "bugging" me out: when I select dolby digital 5.1 audio stream on a tv channel that supports it, it isn't remembered after channel switch. This used to work fine since last update.

Is anyone experiencing this?

Thanks,
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] justme242:
43PUS7303 - have a quite similar issue which may have the same root cause.

TV App ist constantly crashing after a short time.

after logcat I guess identified the issue as:

05-06 15:02:57.163 2366 3824 E SQLiteLog: (13) statement aborts at 34: [DELETE FROM programs WHERE end_time_utc_millis<?] database or disk is full

--------- beginning of crash

05-06 15:02:57.194 2366 3824 E AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION:

which maybe is caused by the /user_setting partition full.

/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 697M 683M 216K 100% /user_setting

Philips Support doesn't show any reaction since one month (ticket, calls etc.)

So anyone has an idea how to fix that?

THX
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] DallasCZ:
have you tried to clear internet cache?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] justme242:
Yes.

Also reset to factory settings.

Nothing worked.

After I did a FW downgrade and upgraded again (as I have no clue how to swipe and install the current FW in one step) - this helped for a short time - after install /user_setting was about 80M free space - after around two weeks the partition filled up again and the error came back.

Running PM171E _ 107.001.038.000 since sunday - hope, this may help as I didn't have the issue with that version.

But as the TPM171E _ 107.001.101.002 was running without issues from dec19 to march 20 I fear google changed something and the reason isn't the FW release itself.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] DallasCZ:
sorry, I can't help more. I am using netflix, hbo go and iptv and i have no issues (55pus7803)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] justme242:
THX anyway.

---

My GF on her 7303 also uses just Netflix/IPTV as well and is still not having issues.

I guess, the error is connected with the IntentService[EpgDataCleanupService], as it comes up when the EPG app is trying to delete some old data...

But as I'm not an android developer nor have root access I don't have an idea what is filling up the /user_settings fs.

Also it seems this is a common issue on Philips TVs...

Found an github thread reporting an quite similar issue in end of 2018... and there is one user saying:

"This issue is totally Philips-specific and it is not related to disk space.

Multiple users of TVirl reported it"

But I guess it is disk space related...

Aren't there any Philips android developers reading here?
