Hi;

My tv 55pus7909 android ... tv.

My usb Exfat formatted but not working !

What is fix pls ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shaggie76:
Format via tv setting (general settings>android settings>USB). That's not exfat, but XFS. My problem is that quite often the HDD has some kind of problem at TV startup so I have to restart the TV. Does anyone else have this problem?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ELTURKO24PHONE:
amigo , los problemas que tienes son normales con los discos duros de 2.5 , si usas uno de 3.5 no deberia tener problemas , de todas formas estas tv no funcionan como deberian : Llanto:
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shaggie76:
Sorry, no hablo Español :p

I have (yet) another problem, two actualy. My 55PUS7909 is mounted to the wall by a Vogels EFW 6345 plus. I'm getting sick of the cracking while watching TV. It sounds as if plastic is expanding or something. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm thinking about using the Philips stand/foot instead of the Vogels (which is rediculous off crouse).

The second problem is way more annoying. In ES file explorer I keep getting 'SDcard0 not found'. This means my emulated memory is not mounting, so I can't start Kodi because Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi is on tih semulated SD0. can anyone please help me with this? Is there a fix? Does it have to do anything with using an external USB disk? I can't figure it out!

Very much looking forward to your ideas and experience! Thanx!

Hi! How do I get Google services work? Thanks!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ozana.yo:
can you explain what resolution and dpi settings you used?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lewy20041:
As to sound tray to play with sound settings.

Set it to stereo and turn off all other options like 3D sound etc.

About sd not mounting, i think reinstal tv from the settings is your best bet

(Probably something went wrong along update or first start)

I dont have issues with SD but still i thing the android on this TV is crap

If it wasnt so expensive i will play with it more:"

Hope this helps;)

cannot install kodi addons

Hi guys,

I've installed kodi 15 on my tv (49PUS7909), without problems.

easiest way to me is to join the beta tester g+ group and install it from play store.

plus.google com/communities/101953908499318548671

Updates are also automatic :)

My problem is that I cannot install any addons. when I try, it seems like the addon installs, but none shows up on the installed addons.

I've tried with kodi installed both on tv and on USB. Also tried installing with apk via adb.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

btw, how can I check 4K content (video or photo) without external HDMI 4K box?

Thanks!

New Firmware Q151E but can't find release notes

Dear All

At 1st, Thanks for this forum and espacially this thread.

Read it since a while but no contribution.

Short story cut :

Received this link for a brand new firmware from Philips.

FullUpgrade_QV151E_0.5.38.200.upg:

app.box.com/s/w6n8bix1xxvuhakbrirmv32eejh7fsev

This has been received by internal source.

Unfortunately , I'm not able to find any info related to this upg as I am not a specialist.

I'm still using the .24 version for 4K satellite Channel since a (nearly) year without too much issue so don't want to test it if there is minor changes (common with Philips since they lauched the TV 2 years ago).

But the secrecy around this version makes me impatient as no one talked about.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Paul

So, Do you think somebody is able to provide info about this one

Please note :

WATCH OUT, IT IS ONLY FOR PUS7600 or other TV based on QV151E ONLY.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ned_17:
Hi, can somebody help me. I have Philips 49PUS7181/12 and I have problem whit teletext app. Every couple of minutes when I watching some TV channel which have teletext (on integrated DVB-C tuner) I get message "Unfortunately, Teletext has stopped", and it is so annoying when you need to press OK button every couple of minutes. I have contacted Philips support, but they don't have real solution.

I have latest version of firmware, I also tried to rewrite firmware, but that is not possible, also downgrade is not possible, upgrade only. I tried couple solutions for rewriting firmware, but it doesn't worked for me. If there is solution to remove teletext app. completely it is also acceptable, I don't care for teletext, I only want to watch TV without needless messages.

Thank You in advance!

Hi Guys,

I've bought a 49PUS6401 and I'm just shocked Android TV doesn't support NTFS file system. All I want is to connect my 2TB external hard drive and access my FHD+ movies bigger than 4BG. Tried to format my drive to exFAT and ext4 but no luck.

It was actually because the TV doesn't power the external HDD properly. Connected to a main powered USB HUB and HUB connected to the TV it's working like a charm.

49PUS6401/12 ADB access

Hi,

Edit: It is now solved.

I would like to set my TV-s Screen Resolution and DPI. (And few more tweaks needs ADB)

I have a 49PUS6401/12

FW 000.001.015.108 (most recent)

If I understand correctly I need ADB Over WIFI. Searched this thread but couldn't find any device specific information.

I have Minimal ADB installed. As far as I understand of course I need to set USB debugging to ON. However, I can't find such option in Developer Tools app downloaded from Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roysolberg.android.developertools

Right now I'm not at home but if I remember right I have this set on by default. Going to check tomorrow.

Regarding ADB

I need to use these commands?

adb start-server

adb connect IP:PORT (Edit port should be 5555)

(If no luck I can pull build prop and check port, right? Edit: I don't have such info in my build.prop)

Resolution

It is a 4K TV, 1080P should be OK but if I set it to higher can it cause any problem? (Edit: I'm not sure it was 720P, just set to 1080 before even checked the actual res)

Command

adb shell wm size 1920x1080

DPI 480 for 1080P or 640 for 2160P? (Edit: OK so I'm just confused. It is density, not DPI so I everything will be bigger if I go for higher density)

I'm still not sure which one I need. Going to test both if no problem.

Command

adb shell wm density 480 (Edit: So I set it to 280, it is comfortable for my eyes for the res of 1080p)

adb reboot (Edit: I don't think I need this.)

Cheers,

Hello all,

I want to reinstall my 48pfs8109, but if I choose 'Reinstall TV' nothing happens. I think the software is corrupt because more things are not working, can not search for new channels, can't select any input, epg doesn't work (no channels) and home menu open's 1 out of the 10 times.

So if you know a way to solve this please help me. Or if you know a way to make this TV virgine again, please let me know.

Someone uses earphones bluetooth with pus6501?

What model and brand you use? I have tried various models and didn't work.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Jinx1337:
The new firmware is HORRIBLE for 65pus7601.

First and foremost, DTS passthrough STILL not supported in 3rd party apps (i.e. KODI/VLC) because they still don't use google's STANDARD API.

Secondly, there seems to be some issue with codecs within 3rd party apps. Video is stuttering as hell, even more so when transcoding DTS to AC3 within KODI.

AC3 over 640 kbps STILL not playing (freaking MEDIATEK f*cked up again with their drivers).

So far, a total failure and shattered dreams; I was hoping they would fix things, and so far they made the whole ANDROID shell unusable.

I will try to downgrade through ADB now; will report back if I get a brick.

.. strange, I've got this TV also, exact same android version updated few days ago (when come from the store) .. I don't see any sign of instability or errors .. could it be something with way you updated firmware? .. since I use ethernet cable instead wireless .. say, could you please give me some advice, like how to add some app shortcut on the home screen, lots of them just wont appear on the screen when installed, and what did you do with horrible speaker sound, it just sucks, no bass, thin, like old transistor speakers have been installed, I wonder is it about cheap hardware or some software bug ..

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] CoolApps:
You can try getting the firmware from their OTA server. Please note that it might not be the previous (QM152E.0.5.255.114 [?]): http://fds.cpp.philips.com/firmware/QM152E000001/387594/autorun.upg

I don't know if the recovery would allow you to downgrade. That I have not tested.

Attached are files found in '/system/etc/virgin' that are used to try to get out of a bootloop. Try using 'wipesafedatatool.zip' in the recovery first. If that doesn't resolve your issue then you could try 'wipedatatool.zip' but do so at your own risk.

Oh and both will wipe ALL user data from the data partition from what I can tell.

Thanks for responding. :)

But I've already contacted Philips support yesterday and they gave me a file that I placed on a USB that forced a hard reset of the TV which fixed it for me.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
Could you share that file with us?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] LaZi3b0y:
Sure! :)

Instructions that came with the file:

I translated the instructions myself so if something is unclear let me know. :silly:

Just a few side notes:

For me the OSD message never appeared.

During the update the screen was completely black with a thin green line going horizontally across the top of the screen.

The TV also didn't really reboot for me, it just shut itself off when finished.

The person I spoke to did ask me for the "Set Option" code found on the back of my TV, so the file might've been generated with that code, if so this file might not work for everyone, might even be harmful to your TV. So don't hold me responsible. :p

EDIT:

Oh! And I included the original (swedish) instructions in the zip along with the file. If anyone wants to translate it themselves or are swedish. :)

Anyone having 6400PU's TV here? Because since the last update.

My TV reboot twice a day without any reasons and takes way too long to reboot, sometimes it just stays on the blinking red led.

Netflix works whenever he wants (mostly error -100 appears), it's kind of a shame because there is a dedicated button on the remote for this service.

I noticed that on my tv's box which is Orange box, 4k is never displayed on TV even on a 4k channel, when I press the i button for info it shows me that it's only 1080p which makes me wonder if Netflix app is even 4k also, not pretty sure about that.

It almost feels like the only 4k thing on this TV is the pannel, none of the services are displayed in 4K like Youtube, TV and I'm not even sure about Netflix, someone can confirm it is really 4K?

And to finish I still have bluetooh issues that disconnects or connects whenever he wants which is bad because my speaker are bluetooth!!!!!!

Seriously this TV drives me mad, and Philips support keeps taking me for an idiot with "you should wait for the next update" it's the third update now and I still have the same issues.
