I think I spoke too fast, it was okay for an entire day and now the nightmare is back, random reboots, TV lagg as hell, Netflix lagg sooo much, the sound is not ok with the image on TV, when you unplugg and plugg again the electric câble the led blinks for 3 minutes and most of the time, it's the only way to make it "work" again.

No definitely this TV IS garbage.

I regret so much I bought this, will never buy Philips TV again and will tell all the people I know not buy it too.:(
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] akilleas:
I'm sorry to hear that....

Is there any chance that an app you install causes these problems?

Try to install nothing after the factory reset and see how it goes.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
I just installed VLC ;), so it's pretty clean.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] akilleas:
And last thing left to try is install the latest firmware by USB. I know it's like factory resetting, but who knows...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
That's what I did ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] kytek:
I got the same home menu don't show. Only combination of buttons setting and microphone show settings. e3 recovery don't start by holding joy down, pressing ok after unplug power cord start safe mode but the same problem what in normal mode. Update to 000.010.154.000 just restart couple time tv without any changes.

No way to: full wipe tv, install channels, reinstall tv, make s/w update, get recovery, show home menu, change source, change volume(only couple second after start can change volume but sound bar don't appear), change channels(they removed after long fight with remote and settings),

update of 000.010.154.000 is in memory of the tv when getting to local update it's show and when I try to install tv switch off and start but after few restarts nothing happens.

In safe mode uinstalled all app update, not factory apps, clear all data from fabric app and this give me one normal startup but only for cuple of minutes after switch off problem again appear...

any ideas?

Does any one know how to get the JSON api (jointspace) working on a 43pus6401 (6400 series) , i need it for home automation, either that or decompiling the code of the android app?

nevermind i figured it out :)

Can a Philips 5000 series 4K Ultra HD 55" TV be Upgraded to Android TV?

Hi Guys,

I recently got a Philips 5000 series 4K Ultra HD 55" TV and I was wondering could it be upgraded from Net TV to Android TV and if so how? Or is anyone working on breaking the firmware? And help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance :D
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] seven21075:
I think the chances that this will happen are very low.

Im also owning a Philips TV PUS6501 and i can only suggest to everybody who is satisfied with Android 5 to never upgrade to Android 6. Because Android 6 is a pain. Many of the bugs and complains about Android TV just appeared after the upgrade to Android 6. My Android 5 TV never reboots, never starts in the night on his own (with 100% volume), no syncronisation problems between sound and picture, no ambilight bugs etc.

To be honestly i think it was a mistake to buy an Android TV (and no its not only Philips. Sony is also having big problems with Android 6). What we need is root access (by supersu) and a community created firmware.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] diablus69:
Thanks for your reply, but I don't even have Android TV on my Philips 5000 series its there crappy "Net TV" and the only useful in the youtube and not anything else.

But I was wondering if the is a work around it to at least get the Philips "Smart TV" to Android TV?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
Trust me, their Android TV's rom is garbage toi, I keep have crash every hour, Netflix launches whenever it wants or not, etc..

So this is not really better. Plus I contacted Philips's assistance,I've been waiting for more than two months and a half now and still no news, they keep saying we're investigating of your issues....
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] diablus69:
Hmmmmmm Yeah I tried Philips but they were a BIG waste of time and they won't even consider sending an update to revolutionize their "Smart TV" (meaning Internet Browser capable of properly browsing is needed).

Its just plain stupidity really right?

:confused::confused::confused:
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
Yeah I recommand that if you can still send it back,do it ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] diablus69:
Unfortunately its too late for me but probably in the nearly future I get rid of this Dreadful Philips "Smart TV" and i am not trusting them again period, worst company ever....Please just go back to producing light bulbs because TVs are not your thing.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Ted1Getir:
God damn I regret to bought a Philips 43pus6501. It took lots of software update however, there is nothing changed on freezing. When I want to watch a tv series on internet with TV-Browser. It is too slow god damn and sometimes I can not open some video player. I wanna change it I dont want to use android. I can use more simple OS
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] diablus69:
I sorry to hear but probably there is hope for you to return it unlike me, I am just stuck with it for now. But I am making sure not one person I know ever buys a Philips TV again.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
Same for me:D, and I'm trolling all their youtube Videos about Android TV with bad comments in the hope that they will replace mine that is completely buggy, Android crashes all the time, etc... I'm thinking about purchasing and Xiaomi Mi Box TV 4K wich will save my life and will perform like 100% better than this crap.:eek:

Hi everyone,

Does somebody know how to empty the SD card of the TV remotely cause my TV has a bugg telling me that the memory is full but I only installed two apps. I made a reset, didn't solve the problem. I made the update, didn't solve the problem. I have a lot of messages telling me that my memory is full which is kind of boring when you are looking at a film. If anyone has an answer, it would save my life .

Thank you in advance. :)

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Dovlaa:
this just made me furious...no updates for 2015 models, we were promised marshmallow was coming, the last couple of upgrades have really broken my TV..

is there any chance that someone in the future might create a custom rom for the 2015 models? Is my only option to purchase a separate Android TV device and then use my philips Tv as a dumb tv?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Rajnus:
I preodered Fire TV it seems a better solution then Android TV

Can't believe that Philips's done it!

https://toengel.net/philipsblog/201...62017er-tvs-mit-android-tv-7-qm163e-15-209-1/

Who updated already to Nougat?

- how is the picture quality in dynamic scenes (any image artifacts?)

- are PiP and Google Assistant features available?

- what is the YouTube app version and do remote control navigation buttons work correctly?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Rajnus:
Just got it on TV. Apparently PIP has to be supported by an app. I don't see anything spectacular except that netflix finally works :D

How does multitasking works?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] tuobraun:
It seems that PiP hasn't been "activated" in the Firmware. Because as per Google manual there is native PiP support in Android 7/8 but the corresponding code must be introduced (correct me if I'm mistaken because I'm not a developer myself). And Philips devs did not (want to) do it. And there aren't many apps now that support that feature. At least I tried all possible button combinations on the remote for the latest YouTube App and VLC player.

No results.

And VLC just crashes. Nice job Philips.

Guys , i have 55PUS7100 , bouhgt oh feb 2016. After all that time i decide to call again philips today about some news......

What they said??????

They will change all the hardware of the TV for FREE, a technician will come and will change everything behid the screen , they will change remote. They give me a 2017's TV for FREE.

What a good news!!!!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] sweetohmygod:
Thats big! Congrats! What was your issue that determined them to do this?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nineoneone24:
No way on Earth that can be true. You are bullshiting us!

Wtf?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
Ciao , i start to have problem when i discovered that 5.1 was disabled because netflix app crash. By the way i push them to make some upgrade, i spent the first yea of warranty asking for fix the problem.

Generally every 3 month i had receveid an update, sometimes was a good one the stability was improved. All the update received this year had compromised again the stability.

Today if i want to see netflix i have to unplug the tv at least 3 times , if not i see a lot of freeze of the images and voice distorced.

Watching TV sometimes i miss video and i have to change channel to see again.

Generally i have many freeze untill a random reboot.

It is very painfull , specially when your 5 years old daughter want to see the tv alone , she is stuck every time the tv freeze and lag.

After 6 month of silence i decided yesterday to chat with a philips operator asking him how i can download some old firmware to "fix" the stuation to a stable one.

With my surprise they said they change the TV with a brand new 2017 tv, i do not undestand if they totaly change they tv or they have the possibility to fit a new motherboard in the chassis .

I let you know this in next hours when the dealer will call me.

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

All true man, if you go on the philips website in my case the italian one you can see in the review of 2017's tv many people they received a brand new 2017 tv in substituion of some unlucky models
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
You're really lucky, I have freeze and lag for more than 6 months and they didn't do anything tout help me other than we're investigating the problem....

Just an update, this morning a local company will pick up my tv and tke it in their laboratory. They will order the parts and change it. I have no notice about wich board they put inside, th eonly things i remember is that i will lose 8GB of storage in the new board.

Guys if you have a 2015 tv go ahead with philips and ask the upgrade
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nineoneone24:
Thanks for the updates. I have talked rhe other day with the calling centre. Unfortunately Philips Romania is not Philips Italia. I still have the warranty until march 2018, and i hope it will be upgraded until then. Can't wait to tell us how the upgrade is working.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
They picked up the tv this morning, i think they need at least one week
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
Ok guys , today or tomorrow i will receive the upgraded TV, I found this that talk about of 7100 R2

https://toengel.net/philipsblog/2015/03/02/philips-2015-alle-informationen-zur-7100er-tv-serie/

It look like that the 7xxx series will be ugraded with the electrornics of PUS/PUK 6401.

What do you get and what do you loose.

YOU GET

HDR , the 7100 panel is HDR ready because is 8bIT+FCR

ANDROID 7.1.2

A couple of years of additional upgrade

Chromecast 4K features

Improved stability , let's hope

YOU LOOSE

8GB instead of 16GB

3D features

WIFI CONTROLLER with qwerty keyboard instead of a simple IR controller
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

- 3D is still available

- you will still have a two-sided remote control

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
Wow Toengel in person, thank you very much for your kind reply. So the 7100/R2 is a sort of Kimera or it is 6401 board modified to fit the 7100?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

it's a 6401 with a 7100 panel... ;)

[MENTION=8673431]Toengel[/MENTION] great seeing you here! Have to tell you, i speak for myself but i think also for the whole philips community, lurking your german blog via google translate, thank you! Great stuff bringing ahead of philips announcements and tips.

I own a 49pus6561/12, latest firmware. Whats your take on the os. Think it will ever get to a full smooth running tv? Is the hardware there? Is Dev team actively looking into 2015/2016? Find it hard to believe 60fps youtube is not an option up untill now for the amount paid.

Panel backlight burns? Any tips? Haha
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

since the platform used in 2016 is also used in 2017 you will see update in the future...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
Ok but the 6401 is not 3D and use IR controller without QWERTY keyboard, how the 6401 can handle 3D and that kind of controller?

I think my 7100 will think to be a 6401 when i will receive
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

6401 + 3D software... you still have the 3D panel... there are other 2016 TVs with the same hardware platform and two-sided RC...

I bought a 2015 model in October and from the looks of it my warranty is expired? Any chance I could ask for this upgrade that people are mentioning anyway? I'm from Croatia. I wouldn't mind paying extra because my TV is barely usable at this point, all sorts of problems that people have already mentioned here.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
Hi, very bad situation, the stupid "phuckips" bring me back the TV , they change the mainboard but they install the same one , the R1!!!!!!

20 days lost, the dealer can find the code for the R1 only, [MENTION=8673431]Toengel[/MENTION] do you know the spare parts code they need to install the R2?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

no - it's a package of 4-5 parts...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
Hi , italians's philips dealer just contacted me.

They said that they change those parts in certain case only, and they suggest to not change because they think they will not fix the problems and i will loose 3D, 8GB of hd and smething else.

I told them i do not believe on this , they suggest to change nothing because them save money.

I explaine them that i have another problem also wathing DVB-T, sometimes i hear audio and the screen become black and i have to change channel to see video again.

I said that is a pannell problem, but i'm sure is not.

I ask to retire the tv and send them, but i think they need 2 months to upgrade it.

So i make a deal and they has ordered 4-5 parts and when they receive a technician will come to my home and change it.

Reset all to factory...uninstalled almost all smart apps, nothing helps.*

Any way to get the board changed to /R2 ?

Jak kupowałeś w grudniu to masz jeszcze miesiąc gwarancji. Dzwoń na infolinię Philipsa i zażądaj wymiany komponentów. Ja tak zrobiłem. Zgłosiłem problemy podobne do twoich. Powiedziałem że wiem o możliwości wymiany komponentów i nie było problemu. Dziwię się tylko że Philips nie zrobił jakiejś akcji serwisowej. Mniej zorientowani użytkownicy telewizorów z tej serii zostaną z gównianym sprzętem. W moim przypadku cały proces wymiany od zabrania TV z domu przez serwisanta zabrał tydzień czasu. Ale po wymianie to inny TV. Mam 4k w Youtube, Sieć wifi w standardzie AC, TV normalnie się uruchamia i wyłącza, mogę normalnie instalować wtyczki do Kodi, menu chodzi o wiele płynniej, nic się nie wiesza, wewnętrzny odtwarzacz już się nie wiesza. Podsumowując jeżeli masz jeszcze gwarancję to nawet się nie zastanawiaj.

Thank you [MENTION=6827338]Grzegorz_Pietrakowski[/MENTION]. I'll continue in English so that others can also read this. I called support and they told me that the upgrade you spoke about is not for the 55pus7170/12 (which is the dual tuner version of 7150) [MENTION=8673431]Toengel[/MENTION] can you confirm the upgrade is not possible for my model ?

Nevertheless they registered it for RMA, but I have no confidence that anything will change with stability unless it is upgraded to more capable hardware, able to run a newer version of android tv.

We'll see what they come up with....

I have problem with watching 4k movies over NAS. I have almost same speed over Wi-Fi as with cable. I thought maybe the router was bottleneck so I bought switch. Nothing changed. Only what helped is to disable Wi-Fi on TV. Now movies do not stop so often. The movie is 43Mbit so it should not be a problem. Although I do not understand why did they put only 100Mbit ethernet port in 2016. My camera records in 120Mbit so there is no chance to what recordings over LAN. So stupid to make 4k TV without possibility to watch 4k recordings over LAN...

I get 7. 5 MB/s tops...
