Hi,

I am still having issues when I want to watch an 4K movie with Plex.

The tv or the app crashes. See here what happens: http://gofile.me/5AOe4/0bH7BmEXI

Im on latest software version and did a complete reset of the tv.

43PUS7303/12

TPM171E_R.107.001.136.003

Can someone help me with this issue?

Kind Regards Mark

I'm author of home assistant integration for philips tv. I've ran into a bug on my 65OLED855/12 with TPM191E_R.101.001.208.001.

I'm hoping somebody from Philips might be semi monitoring this channel. I suppose it's unlikely, but i can at least wish :)

https://hostname:1926/6/activities/current

:

The endpoint is really sporadic and buggy in it's behaviour. It reports stuff like "{'component': {'packageName': 'android', 'className': 'NA'}}" while hdmi output's are active and other random things. To match a proper intent it should report something that includes an extras string for the current active tuner which could be sent in a activities/launch endpoint to switch to that source at a later stage.

https://hostname:1926/6/context

:

The endpoint fails to report playback state if you are running an application like netflix. So it's not possible to know if it's playing or paused. It could also perhaps report the hdmi input when it's in WatchExtension state.

Btw.. if there is anybody with a 2021 or 2022 i would be very interested in getting the xtv.apk app from those to have a look if they fixed anything.

Hello guys,

i don't know this this the right place but my problem is that my 50PUS7304 amblight tv can not find bridge last days. However, my apps -hue essential vs.- totally find the bridge.

I have reseted bridge, nothing change. Then, I've reseted tv, at first that was worked well, but one day later, it was gone... When tv has tried to find bridge, icon of bridge is not display on the screen, but it can be selected, but it is not work again.

what would be problem about that? Recently, I have downloaded some apps from -not official app stores, and one of them had trojan or something like that. Was that effect the bridge connection?

My bridge is square one and my firmware has the last one.

Thank you for now.

Thanks alot

Hi,

the latest version for 6501 is 26.70.1 - this will be the last firmware. Try to pull power cord and/or factory reset.

Hello, I bought a 43Pus8555/12 and I wonder how to create a favorites list to organize the TV channels to my liking?

this depends on your country - e.g. set up the TV location to Germany and you are able to create favorite lists...

Hi,

upgrade_loader should work. Did you use the correct procedure to start the upgrade_loader?

It is linked on top of my firmware archive page.

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ihama:
Hi, thanks for your reply. I just reviewed the page again and yes, I believe I used the correct procedure.

I have a comment about that firmware page. It does mention upgrade-loader.pkg with a - not a _, in both German and English. I did try with the file using - as well as _. I would suggest you edit the page if it's only with _.

I used a Mac and MBR partition table, but I noticed one of the USB sticks I used has GPT table, though autorun appeared to work. will try formatting with a windows system!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ihama:
OH MY GOD! Yes, it was GPT ! For the first time I see software upgrade in progress! 🤦🏽‍♂️

It did something, for sure, but it did not appear to bring the TV back up.

This is what I did: it did an upgrade and then it appeared to reboot, showed the Philips logo and then it started a new one. I waited by the screen and removed the USB stick before it started a new one.

I did an "energy cycle" .. unplugged for a minute or so, and plugged it in with no device in any port. The logo appeared and about 7 seconds later it vanished. The backlight was still on. There was no response to any button that I could tell of the remote.

It did appear to show in the Mac as a Philips FTV when I plugged in the HDMI port, and the resolution looked right, but it did not display anything on the TV.

I tried a couple of times more and same thing.

All the while, the red LED flashes about 2x per second shortly after plugging it in.

Any suggestions what to do next?

(edit) PS: in case you did not see it, I posted in the original post a pic of the board with a sticker that had printed 42PFL6008S/R1
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ihama:
Quick update.

I did another go at the upgrade_loader.pkg and this time it took longer. Before, it took about 4.5 minutes before it rebooted.

This time it took about 23m. However, I got the same result -- Philips logo for about 7 seconds, then it goes away (backlight still on) and that's it.

I read in the forums that I ought to try wiping the cache, however, I cannot seem to get into Android recovery.

Any suggestions welcome!

Also, after the installs with upgrade_loader.pkg, the first time powering up the logo disappears within a second, then it reappears and then it falls into the regular patter of vanishing after 7 seconds after power up. Only the first time it does it twice. Not sure what it means, but that seems the slightest possible sign that there is something running inside. I did try to connect to the USB ports and try ADB, without luck.

Also, I do not see traces of the network interface coming up on my DHCP server.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Lego77:
Hi all,

I have this weird problem with my Philips PUS8102 and I cannot find anything similar online.

Since the last update, almost all of the homepage picture settings are not working. I can only get the Contrast to work but whenever I change something in Brightness, Colors, Sharpness, or even in Gamma nothing changes at all. I have tried all different profiles, also the ISF ones trying aggressive color calibrations but the image remains exactly the same. I have tried the re-install TV option but the problem remained. Only when I enter an HDMI connected device (my Xbox) then the settings work normally.

The update broke something more though. When at HDR GAME mode, the input lag is the same as the other non-gaming modes. Even the motion settings are available on HDR GAME mode. On the regular GAME mode I still get low input lag, so I have to disable HDR from my XBOX in order to play with low input lag.

Is there a way to solve this?

Does anyone have any similar experience?

I would be very happy to return to a previous firmware if that solves it, does anyone have one to suggest that has generally been stable?

So upgraded to TPM191E_R.101.001.250.003 a little while back. I'm having issues with my google tv device no longer turning on the TV.

The odd thing is that my receiver ends up turning on which is connected to an ARC port on the TV. Anybody else seen this?

Hello. I have a Philis 55PUS8700/12 TV with QV151 newest firmware. Since years it always stucks, doesnt react of input, is slow. But not everytime.

I have read to remove some bloatware but i cant find it again to test it. But are there any other workarounds, like fixing the mainboard, change the mainboard, remove some files, edit something in the philips service menu or other things? I dont want to buy a new one but using this tv is horrible since years and i dont want to use it but also dont want to buy a new one because the quality is good (except the bad software).

Is it possible to deactivate internal tuner and apps? I dont have a satellite or cable possibility so i dont need it.

Maybe someone could help me? That would be great. Thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] elupus2:
You can disable quite a lot of apps in settings to get it quite clean.

It is also possible to disable some more using adb. But i couldnt really tell you which.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] digital29:
@ihama - I have a similar with the upgrade_loader as you do. My TV kept freezing after around 30 seconds after turning it on. Philips support sent me an upgrade_loader and tried it.

"Software update in progress" appears. Sometimes it stays there for even an hour, sometimes for 5 minutes and it restarts:

- if I don't remove the usb right after restart, it starts again

- if I remove it, it continues to the initial setup (pair remote, etc), but completely freezes again after 20-30 seconds (tv is reinstalled). Sometimes it gets stuck like yours, with a turned on black screen and ambient light, but completely frozen.

I suppose the upgrade loader doesn't actually do anything in my case? Should it display a loading bar or something or just the text "Software update in progress" during the whole process? My usb stick has a light that flashes when files are being read, and it does flash for about 5 minutes, so something is indeed happening, just not sure what the issue is.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] piri1312:

HELP! I have a pus7303 and installed the nvm file to pus7304 and I had a problem ... I tried to install the "upgrade loader" hoping that the nvm file would change too ... Unfortunately the image is still not there. I need the nvm file for pus7303. Is there anyone who can help?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ihama:
For me it does show some USB activity in the light when it's displaying the "in progress" message, until shortly before it reboots.

I can't access the Android debug console via USB or the recovery any more. It's frustrating because the screen itself does appear to be ok, just seems like a software issue (perhaps there is some hardware at fault, hard to tell), but in any case, HDMI and source selection ought to work even with no massive software like Android.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ckarv:
Hi there,

TV: 55PUS8303

FW: TPM171E_107.1.136.3

I'm experiencing a performance issue which seems to have become worse over time.

It started with files I'm playing over Plex and Kodi crashing (playback stops, needs to restart/resume). Now Netflix (entire app) also crashes from time to time, and the frequency seems to be increasing.

I was suspecting the TV might be running out of RAM for the first issue, but unsure about the other.

Steps I've taken:

- factory reset using the Android TV menu, with the latest firmware installed (via OTA).

- playing around with subtitle settings on/off, as keeping them enabled especially in Kodi seemed to contribute to the problem. This does not make a real difference.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi guys, I own a Philips 49PUS7100/12 and with big disappoint I discovered that it hasn't the H265 codec, and so it will no be useful for the new standard. Do you know if it is possible to integrate the firmware with the H.265 codec?

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] tryfos:
I have a 50' 7303 set and have this problem since the beginning: HDR from all apps (netflix, yt etc.) is dull, colors distorted and the blacks are grey. SDR UHD vs HDR UHD is waaay better. I've tried changing all HDR settings but nothing gets better. I've concluded that colorspace does not change from rec709 to bt2020 when HDR is activated (when HDR logo is shown). I haven't tried with external sources (HDMI), only with the app. This has been bugging me from the beginning....Any solutions?

Hi guys, I have 2 units of Philips Andoid TV, both are "The One" series, 50PUS7304 and 55PUS7304.

Idk any of you experiencing UI lagging on Plex for 1-2 months. But it's very frustuating. I checked both my TVs are the same. Youtube, Tubi or any other application have no issues.

I checked on web for any similar lagging issues but unfortunatly I couldn't found a reported issue.

Besides when I click play on any video, black-white horizontal lines come first for a second or two, after that I can watch movie without any problem.

I recorded a video, first I opened Youtube for benchmarking, after that Plex.

Thanks in advance for any comments and/or solution offers.

Hola ihama,

Tengo exactamente el mismo problema y mi tele tambien tiene la misma actualización de hardware ¿has conseguido resolverlo?

Yo no tengo ni idea de la electrónica ni nada, asi que la he llevado al Servicio Oficial y me han dicho que habria que cambiar la placa y ya no las hay (la verdad es que han pasado bastante de mi)

La llevé a otro servicio de reparacion que conozco (y que son mas majos) y tampoco han encontrado repuesto ni solucion. Con La información que me dieron intenté buscar yo placas, Pero nada. Ahora estaba intentando buscar una NAND programada por si con eso se pudiese solucionar, pero la que encontré parece que no vale a pesar de que en el anuncio dice que es compatible (probablemente lo era antes de cambiar la placa a la actualizada). Te dejo el enlace a lo que te comento por si tu consigues encontrar una NAND que funcione, que veo que controlas mas que yo. https://www.ebay.es/itm/Philips-Nan...991022?hash=item3fca00d1ee:g:DHoAAOSwESRcHkr5

Un saludo

Esto es lo que me respondio el servicio técnico cuando les mande el anuncio:

Buenos dias

Perdona por tardar en contestar.

No nos vale, el chip que envían en ese anuncio es un 29F8G08ABABA y la placa lleva un KLM8G1GEME-B041, no se pueden soldar uno en el sitio del otro, llevan pineados totalmente distintos. Unos es SMD y el otro BGA.

Un saludo.

I just bought the newest model..

so far when it comes to BT ive connected my Phone to it, my micro BT Keyboard, My headphones, and my BT speaker.

though the newest update removed the built in dashboard instead it redirects you to a full page dedicated to apps... definitely not to my liking. i installed a dashboard and turned it on however now when i hit home it not only brings up the dashboard but still reverts to that page.

any way to get it to stop?

basically i want it how it was before the update where i could bring up the dash while on my PS4 so i could decide from their what app i was goin to jump into...

is there a way to set up the remotes functionality/configs?

cuz maybe its that? though even the homekey on my KB does the same...

[SOLVED] i forget that this TV is android and like the saying goes "theres an app for that" used Button Mapper to configure home button to pop up dash and not app drawer.

so if you liked the old way of things youll need Button Mapper and Dashboard yay more apps to take up space...

wish this thing had an SD slot.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shadowgodd:
im running 9 on mine have you checked for update? if you have 8 you might wanna wait unless you dont mind downloading a key mapper and 3rd party dashboard that is. its really not as intuitive as 8 was
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shadowgodd:
have you tried updating the apps themselves manually?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shadowgodd:
its not signal delay its intentional delay... unlock dev options and change animations to .5

also if it has BT it should be able to connect to anything else thats BT. id suggest a BT keyboard or a free BT controller app for your phone.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shadowgodd:
what your saying is it doesnt go to the android splash screen right?

it just hangs on the Philips logo splash screen, right?

did you maybe turn the TV off during an update? or delete a system file? you might have to try and sideload and flash the AndroidTV OS back on to the TV.

If this was an actual mobile android device i'd be able to further assist but im sure you can google a way to flash the Os back onto the Philips Tv.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shadowgodd:
try dev options theres a setting that allows you to use multiple BT devices at once. mine came with it already on though.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shadowgodd:
try changing animation speeds in Dev options.

make sure your network signal is full and not spastic.

try downloading a task manager and ending unused and open recent apps...

i had like 40 slowing me down.

also in dev options limit background processes to like 3 or 4 this way it wont bog you down too.

you can also have it kill all apps after you close them this will keep the recent apps list to 0. but also kills apps you might want to run in the background like spotify while youre looking through your menus.

some task mangers have a kill list that allow you to ignore the apps you want running in the background.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Yilsev:
Hi, thanks for suggestions, I have this issue on both TV's, but I've already tried all but 6th one. I'm tracking this issue on plex forums, ppl say it's about plex app itself.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shadowgodd:
yeah, i have no issues on plex itself, but just realised its suggestions channel on the bottom of my list isnt loading...

TBH tho ive mainly been using Peacock here lately. plus ive been benging on The CW and CW Seed...

since it dooes seem like its only related to Plex all you can do is wait till they patch it or move on to something else
