I will definitely give it a try, as removing all cables for at least 5 mins was already done, also the factory reset, but not at the same time. Also fun fact, I was checking at the last update the patch notes, and i was laughing hard as i have read through every fixed bug that i suffer from on latest firmware. what i dont understand is that i really have a feeling that these things gotten worse with every update. and seriously. when i bought the tv, there was nothing bbad with it. and is started to develop these annoying things slowly but surely.

So i ve tried everything mentioned, and also did a reinstall with the option in the menu, and it worked for like a day. right now basically remote controller is useable for 10 seconds. random restart still a thing. this product is a pure garbage software wise. any other idea?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] M4rf0:
Is there any possibility to control the volume of headphones by remote control directly from the volume buttons? Now all the time I have to go into a menu and change it. I have quite old stereo system and I can only connect it by jack 3.5mm. I tried to connect it by toslink but in optical output also I don't have any option to change volume.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
I am interested in this also. As I also have an old speaker system connected via audio jack.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] M4rf0:
Another one question. When I try to connect bluetooth speakers on TV, it shows a message that the best results will be on aptX low latency compatible speakers. On the other hand, I cannot find in any specification of TV that TV is compatible with aptX LL protocol (maybe it is only Android message but the TV can be not compatible). Do you have more information about that? My model is 55PUS7101 on Android 7.0.

Hi, how can i download and install prime video with x ray?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lukeaddison:
It's been on the Play Store in the UK for quite a while now.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] _Negan_:
Ok, but im not in uk. I'd like to download the apk and manually install it on my pos9002. Is it possible?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lukeaddison:
I've attached the APK. Hopefully this will help: https://drive.google.com/a/lukeaddi...wA0dN0V8OquVlNaCAopiuqCIEya/view?usp=drivesdk
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

you need the latest firmware on 9002, then you will find the APK in Google Play... you need to search for "Prime Video"... best way is to push it via PC:

https://toengel.net/philipsblog/201...-aus-google-play-jetzt-philips-tv-kompatibel/

Nevertheless, you can always find the latest APK at:

Hi, I've the latest firmware (updated by tv itself through internet) android tv 7.0 and prime video is included and auto updated but no x-ray function. Am i doing something wrong?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

from my point of view, this can be disabled remotely by Amazon... if you have the latest 4.8.x it should be possible...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] _Negan_:
On my mobile phone with same google account, ive x-ray feature
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] _Negan_:
Maybe you're right, is a server disabled feature because my prime video app version is 4.8.x and no x-ray. On my note 8 I've x-ray feature, on my philips pos9002 I don't.

Do you know how and if it is possible to disable on screen keyboard for those like me that have the tv remote with keyboard included on the back side of it?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

you can use the keyboard in parallel to the onscreen keyboard... don't mix Prime Video app for Android with "Android TV"... they are different...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] _Negan_:
Hi, yes i know that i can use both but it takes part of the screen and is quiet useless for those who have integrated keyboard on the remote. For these and to remove some philips bloat i would like to make root on my pos9002 but I don't know if it is possible...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

this is a general Prime app... this app is also used on Android TV systems from other vendors... they don't have a keyboard on the RC....

Hi, when i talked about on screen keyboard I refer to a general behavior not in prime video app only. But unfortunately I think that the only way to get rid of it is rooting...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Bener Nuraydın:
Hello, Alex!

Unfortunately, the service in Turkey claims that they only change the mainboard if it's burned. For a long time they refused that there was such a hardware upgrade and now,

they send me a technician at last. However, he said, they couldn't change it because it's working. He said, "Yes, I know that this TV is a such a mass, our chef also had this tv; he told us but these bugs are not enough to change the mainboard and upgrade the TV to R3. We did it only once because the mainboard of the tv was burned.) I'm really disappointed because it's told me that I could watch 4K TV without a problem from satellite with an upcoming upgrade. Those upgrades causes serious problems. (sound, bugs et cetera) There is no upgrade since december for 55pus7600/12 and it's highly possible that it won't get an android upgrade. (I doubt, there is gonna be a common upgrade; now this model is not a priority although it has still serious and fundamental problems.) I bought the most expensive model then and now the shameful technical service told me that they can't simply upgrade a tv to an upper model: I have to buy the new model tv. So I have to buy every 6 months a new tv? I don't want this upgrade just for fun, I want it because the simple tv function of the "smart" tv doesn't work properly. I'm very disappointed here and I don't know what to do. :( (Of course there are still bugs with the firmware which doesn't support 4k. Just no sound problem)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
Harass them everyday on the phone and the will end up finally change your TV for a better model (that's what I did). They kept saying me that the next update will fix my problem and it never did and I was such a balls breaker calling them everyday that they ended up give me an upgrade.:)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ckarv:
Same here. However, I'd say the time and effort isn't worth it.. From reporting the issue at first, sending the TV in to be serviced once (for three weeks), to sending it in again for replacement, took me almost a year. Should be getting my replacement next week, but what I should've done is just return it to the store when I first noticed the issues I was having.

Well, lesson learned ?*♂️
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Gklespurs:
I'm thinking about getting the 55PUS7303/12 but wanted to use a VPN can I install APKa files ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Hi,

I don't understand what is the connection/relationship between a VPN connection and a APK files instalation?

What do you try to mean by "VPN"?

What do you want to do more exactly?

Cheers,

Vlad
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Gklespurs:
Sorry I meant can you side load apks?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
No problem. I don't own that TV, but I don't know any Android TV where you can't install apk files from a file browser. Even on Android TV 8 Oreo you can sideload apps without any problems (nVidia Shield).
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Gklespurs:
Would you say Phillips is any better than Sony android?

I'm not clued up about Android TV just learning now.

Thanks :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lukeaddison:
From what I've heard, Sony TV's are generally much better. I've had two Philips Android TV's now and both have been slow and underpowered for the Android side of things.

Philips TV's are great value though. The more you pay, the better the TV.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
I agree. Philips is the worst, in every sense of the word. Service, applications, stability, screen quality, everything is better on Sony. But Sony is more expensive.

The only thing still exclusive to Philips is the Ambilight system. An those LED's work hand in hand with the bad quality of the LCD screens in general, it masks the bad picture quality. Also the video processing is bad on Philips. YouTube has issues keeping smooth video playback, and this is embarrassing as we are talking about a google product. This proves how bad Philips "engineers" are at optimizing their software, as it is not YouTube's fault, as the same YouTube app works perfectly on other Android TV's, Sony, Mi Box, etc.

I would advise you to stay away from Philips. You are better off buying a Samsung 4K TV with fast Tizen OS, VA screen, and buy a cheap Android Mi Box with Android TV 8 Oreo. In this way you will also have Oreo, where we don't have any Android 8 Oreo on any Android TV system yet. Also you will have a better smart TV experience, a better screen, better support, and much more stable TV.

Cheers,

Vlad
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
I would say, it all depend on whether you will buy a premium or cheap model on both grands.

I have a friend who have a Sony and have a lot of problems on it too so none is perfect.

You have what to pay for I would say.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] _Negan_:
I've a pos9002 55 inches oled 4k and it has a great oled screen and android tv is not bad. Obviously is not as fast as proprietary os like lg or Samsung but you can have what you want on it, many apps to choose from to do the same thing in the way you prefer. Soon will also be updated to oreo but i can't complain even now.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
The great OLED screen that you have is made by LG :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] _Negan_:
Yes i know, lg oled screen with ambilight and Android TV. All what i want
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Correct :) it is the only way to get OLED and Ambilight together :) Your TV is the only Philips TV that I still want to buy, even though it has software issues. Just to have OLED screen and Ambilight together.

But Android TV on a TV is no longer a factor anymore, as a Mi Box with Android TV 8 is much more stable and has better performance. We still don't have any picture in picture support. And many many other issues. What is the point in us having Google Assistant if we don't have any microphone to talk to it? I don't have any possibility of taking a smart remote with a mic, as it doesn't exist for PUS6401 platform. I can't put any microphone on my TV. It is stupid.

The Mi Box has a microphone on the remote. Also, if you combine the box with a Samsung or LG TV you will also have picture in picture betweend android apps and TV or other source. You can't do this on Philips TV with integrated Android OS. Even though I have a picture in picture button on the remote, it is for nothing.

This is why Android TV is no longer a positive factor for me on a TV. Just take an external box. It costs just 70 euros, and has Android TV 8. **** Philips.

I am still waiting for a fix for the 3D on the upgraded passive 3D TV's.

They have also closed the support forum. Why do you think they have done this?

Cheers my friend,

Vlad
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] _Negan_:
I bought this tv because i would like to have an all inclusive solution, without having 2 remote, an external box to be started and so on. I've pic in pic using live channels by google but i use ut rarely. Luckily my remote has both mic and keyboard built-in.

Samsung still use LCD panels so has never been in my thoughts. At least Sony A1 but is much more expansive and I don't think the performance deserve the money in plus.

Software issues like?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lukeaddison:
I believe the OLED models like yours are very good and of I had the money I'd definitely be tempted to buy one. You've got the very best that Philips has to offer!

i have modbro, livenettv, tvtap, redboxtv and terrarium all installed and working
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lukeaddison:
I'd probably go for the 3rd option, the Sony.

My next choice would be the Philips and wouldn't consider the first TV myself.

Ambilight is really nice though on Phillips TV's.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Gklespurs:

Get that one!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
For example YouTube and Google Cast has issues with framerates, sometimes it is playing videos fluid, and then in a couple of seconds is dropping frames like crazy. This is no longer acceptable on a smart TV this day and age. What is the point in having a smart TV if I have issues with video playback fluidity on every app? The only apps that seems are not so much affected are the internal video player and kodi. But I have real issues with youtube and google cast and it doesn't matter if I downgrade the software or not. I have seen this issue on all Philips TV's. There are no such issues on my other Samsung Tizen OS or LG WebOS 3.0 I have. Also tested a lot of Sony Android TV's and they don't have this issues. Why on Sony TV everything is working fine and on Philips TV is not? Because of disastrous development of the firmware and basic software of the TV. And because of this I don't want to ever support and buy Philips in the future, even if I have to lose the ambilight feature. It is no longer worth it.

As I already mentioned, I am still waiting for a 3D fix for the upgraded passive 3D TV's. They have enabled 3D menus but it only shows the left perspective of the 3D movie on both eyes. There is no 3D depth to movies. Then I ask, what is the point in having a 3D function if it is not working? I have a 3D TV without 3D.

Stupid design and development issues are all over the place and they are still acting like they don't exist. They don't test the software on release and because of this, people are being furious. This is why they have closed the support forum. Because EVERY client was angry because of how many problems were never resolved and all of us were enraged by the lack of support on the forums. So they buried their heads in the sand and they are pretending nothing is wrong and they have closed the support forums. They are *******. If you make and sell a product, then have the balls and address the issues you have on the software side, don't just pretend the problems don't exist.

I still have one more year of warranty. If the issues are not addressed in this time, then I will request my money back. The only reason I have bought this TV was because it had an all in one solution, and it has passive 3D technology inside. If the 3D doesn't work, then there is no need to ever bother with this company anymore. This also means I will refuse to buy the Philips OLED TV you have in the future. Even if on paper the OLED and Ambilight combination looks great, the lack of software support makes me avoid Philips from now on. This is how disappointed I am on this company.

For the other smart TV's I have, LG and Samsung, I never had any software issues. All work out of the box. Also, I never needed to unplug the power cord from the wall. Can you say the same?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nasca2:
Hi to all.

I have a technical question on my 55pus7150 / R2 about the firmware update.

Does anyone know the difference between the NVM files of 07/12/2017 and those of June 2018 (the last ones)

Now I installed the one of 07/12/2017 because I remember that Vlad had the last version had some problems.

I would like to know if there is a changelog of the two versions.

Thank you all ...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
With my 55PUS 7100 i passed into the hell for 2 years, was impossible to see regoular TV also. 1 month before the end of warranty i switche to the R2.

I never had a lock or a lack issue, th tv is very very stable and pretty fast.

Who talk about samsung, lg or other had made a vey bad deal buying an Android TV.

Why i bought an Android TV? Because I can expand It and with the help of the community you have many workaround.

Philips offer the best point of view, Ambilight, Lg screen, 3D......

I can see kody, skygo, vpn all in one device .

Philips said that 2014 will be upgraded to Oreo so i still believe mine would be supported till 2020-21.

Sony is much better? I do not believe.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Had you REALLY tested your 3D after the upgrade?

Please set a simple TV broadcast to 3D Side By Side and upload a picture of the screen here, without glasses.

You should have both half of the picture one on top of the other if the 3D really works. If not, you will see only the left half of the picture with 2D to 3D effect put on top. Because of this the 3D is not existing. You don't have any real depth, as you only see a 2D image with 2D to 3D effect put on top.

Once you will realize that your 3D is no longer working after the hardware upgrade, then you can praise philips.

Cheers,

Vlad

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BigBlue007:
Do you have a working link to that particular FW version? On the support site there's only the latest .13 version available. Tried it with that one on my 65OLED873 and 55POS9002, but no luck.

Also, what exactly happens with your TV when you re-plug power cord? From your description it would look like your TV automatically boots and starts flashing from the USB stick once you plug in the power cord. However, both of my sets remain in standby mode (red standby LED is on) when plugging in power cord and nothing happens.

Thanks!

Edit - Ok, forget it, found it myself in Toengel's archive. :) Downloading now...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] _Negan_:
Yes, after replug you've to power on tv with remote

Strange that the latest .13 doesn't work, it should like the 006 version
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BigBlue007:
Ok guys, I have some very interesting news...

The .6 version that I found in Toengel's FW archive has a different format than the USB upgrade files that you normally download from the Philips support site. It is a "upgrade_loader.pkg" file rather than a "autorun_TPM171E_xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.upg" file. Unlike with the normal .upg file, the TV starts flashing right away when powering on and the .pkg file is present on the USB stick. The upgrade process also looks different from the normal way - it's just a black screen with a small "Software upgrade in progress..." message in the center. The TV reboots once and continues the flashing with a 2nd stage.

After approx. 15 minutes, the TV started with 105.1.2.6 installed!

And even better: Now it was also possible to flash the most recent version 105.1.2.13 using the standard upgrade way via the TV's menu.

Since the menu language had changed to english after the upgrade (I'm on german language), and since it is advised for Philips TVs to perform a factory reset after a FW update anyway, I performed a factory reset. Menu language is now back to german, and everything seems to work perfectly fine!

This all applies to my 9002 in the sleeping room. Will do the same with my 873 in the living room tomorrow, but I'm quite sure that it will work the same way.

Now I need to get myself a HDR10+ capable external source in order to check if HDR10+ works. :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] _Negan_:
Interesting, after 006 upgrade how do you update to . 013 version? And after . 013 flash do you have to reinstall all apps or not if you don't do a factory reset after flash?
