I too have to downgrade my 55PUS7100 to original FW (currently use the beta). How to do it, system will not allow it as it says "version older than the one installed".

---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 AM ----------

I found instructions how to downgrade the FW using adb, but its not working for me, when I do adb reboot recovery I get: error: no devices/emulators found

Doing adb version:

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.35

Revision fc2a139a55f5-android

Try to set your tv to the factory settings, and reinstall everything.

And Philips will release a new firmware for the 71xx Series in a few weeks :)

Hello, how can I get into the recovery menu on my 49/PUS7909/12 (QV14.1E LA)? The TV is stuck on the boot logo and he doesn't react on any commands from remote and back joystick. He can only be shut off with unplugging the power cord. I tried it with holding down the joystick but nothing happens.

Thanks in advance

There is a FM to activate the HEVC for

The version for the SW is 6.0.5

You can find it on the F.A.Q. to your tv on the official philips site.

But at the moment we dont know if the QV151E_R0.5.38.93 will replaced the 6.0.5 version.

So we will need to wait and to try it.

Anybody who knows if the PFS6401-models can enable unknown sources and sideload apps? I'll buy a new 32" TV soon and I'm not sure whether I should go with a dumb TV + TV Box or Philips Android TV.

This possibility is a dealbreaker for me since the only reason why I would prefer Philips over Samsung is because of Android TV. I hear the Philips software is so terrible it should discourage even the biggest Philips fan of buying such a brand.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Svenskunganka:
You should stay away from the Philips Android TV's. I own a 55PUS7600, and it has an enormous amount of problems. Some notable ones:

Crashes a lot, which requires a cold restart only made possible via unplugging the power cable.

Generally bad performance; navigating menus is laggy and tends to freeze often, watching anything that requires the TV hardware to work is stuttering (e.g Netflix / Youtube), opening apps takes about 10 seconds, switching between sources is generally slow as well.

Barely any codec support. If you use something like Plex, your media server is going to be performing transcoding on pretty much every source file, requiring a powerful media server (which I fortunately have...). If you have a surround sound system, you'll find yourself having a very hard time as well.

Put on a sniper rifle scope on your remote, because you literally have to point it directly at the receiver.

Lots of pre-installed **** that slows the thing down even further.

Philips support is very, very bad. I've had a few interactions with them, and it always turns out that I am more knowledgable about their TVs than their own support is.

Personally, I find it absurd how Philips are even allowed to sell these TVs. They must've failed more or less every test that was performed on them. The picture is great, but everything else is bad.

Downgrade latest beta firmware

Hi guys,

Do you guys know how to downgrade the latest beta firmware or to force to install the latest official firmware for the 7100 series?

I'm really struggling with this problem!

Thanks a lot!

:confused:
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mezanu:
You need force install using android restore system:

Put te new firm in usb1 tv in

Unplug tv power cable

At same time: plug TV power cable and move up (and mantain) the rear tv joystick.

Wait.... the restore menu shows te option "restore firmware from usb)

In mi pus7600 the proces is same but i need to move DOWN the rear stick to obtain remote funcionality.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Gerrit507:
Hey Guys,

I have a Philips 55PUK7100 and it became an update lately, I was quite happy that I can now finally stream youtube from my smartphone without issues :highfive: I'm still very disappointed about the overall performance and stability of the TV.

First of all I wanted to install kodi, I tried so many versions I can't count any more. With 16.1 I don't get any video, only audio. If I turn mediacodec off the TV just reboots, libstagefright is not available anymore in 16.1, so I tried 15.1. If I just playback a HD movie or HD live TV it drives the TV to the absolute limit, all cores at 100%, sound is async most of the time and lots of crashes, just not usable at all. I also tried SPMC and SPMC(old), which had the exact same issues like their kodi pendants. Does anybody know how to run kodi on that thing?

Second issue is, that I simply can not play any UHD movie! I tried VLC, Archos, MX Player and the built-in player. VLC plays the movie but stutters like hell and also makes the TV crashing after few seconds. Archos does not have any codecs for audio, I installed them but then everything started to stutter, same as VLC. MX Player just sucks, it hasn't even an optimized GUI, it's even worse than on a phone and guess what the built-in player was not able to play it all. I tried it via samba(windows-share-service) and upnp, same result.

Another thing: I "debloated" that thing. I installed everything that was possible but after a month or so the TV just started to install that whole crap again out of nothing. The worst part of it was that everything started lagging like hell. I recognized that the TV is starting apps on boot like crazy, it just starts everything it has installed and the CPU load is always at like 30% at minimum. WTF!

Is this TV just not able to handle anything above Netflix, Youtube and Spotify or what? I'm really disappointed, thought ATV would give me endless possibilities but instead I can do even less than on a "normal" Smart-TV. That's a shame. My 22€ Fire TV performs a lot better than this TV and it has a MUCH weaker hardware.

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

I feel you bro. I can confirm everything you wrote.

EDIT: I'm not even able to run 4K via plex! There are hundreds of chinese android boxes for about 30$, which do ANYTHING better than this TV. To evrybody who is looking into buying a Philips ATV, those are nice TVs but don't buy it because of ATV. At the current state it does nothing more than any other Smart TV software, not because there a not the possibilities, no not at all, you can't just use barely anything from the play store because the philips firmware is so f****ed up. Gonna deinstall like 20 bloatware apps again and see if this helps, but I don't think so...

My CPU load is 19-25% in IDLE! How is this even possible?! My Raspi3 running openelec has a lower load while decoding a HD movie!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Gerrit507:

Hola! Mi nivel de ingles es escaso, pero eso si lo entendí. La duda me surgió es: Si tanta gente pide el Tuner UHD... ¿Es porque ya hay canales emitiendo? (No lo expresé nada bien...)

Mi sintonizador SAT externo soporta 1080, pero si hay algun canal abierto podremos verlo en la tele si Philips actualiza el firmware.

Google Traductor:

Hello! My level of English is limited, but that if I understood. The question arose is me: If so many people ask for the Tuner UHD ... Is it because there is already broadcasting channels?

My external tuner supports SAT 1080, but if there is any open channel can see it on TV if Philips update the firmware.

guys, I have some issues with HDD recording and 55PUS7170 model.

It records fine if the TV is on, but if I turn it off or for example watch via Kodi, the HDD will get turned off and if the recording is scheduled it will fail. Is this some setting issue, like I have to set something to keep the HDD on always? Or is this a problem as the recording software should detect schedule and would have to turn HDD on so its ready to record?

Hi, guys

I just bought brand new shiny big branded Android TV and I been really surprised about quality and performance of this plastic expensive box (comparison with Samsung, LG same screen size)

Absolutely horrible!

Since when I opened the box Lollipop stops every hour, called costumer support regarding allowance to installing "unknown sources" and that joker ? told me " we not recommend this but u do that on your own risk" said "ok, I will take the risk even if I lose the warranty" ;It's like you buy a car but not allowed to make any changes (tuning).

Now be ready, he said " plug in USB port a stick and download directly your apk desired, if the method no working we can't help you more"

WTF u kidding me?! this is the answer of Philips technical support?!

I am angry enough to debate about quality and rusty finishing of this ****

QM164E any ideas about installing from "unknown sources"?

Thank you.

Hi, regarding Bluetooth pairing - I saw that our TVs have already list of paired compatible BT remotes (prepared by Philips).

I wanted to use Android phone as remote gamepad for TV and installed this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.gamepadforvr and during setup on first run, this app shown standard bluetooth Android menu with possibility to search and pair other devices (yes, these standard settings menus are still in our TV, but hidden), but it was possible to add more devices there.

You don't have to install this app, but just search via adb shell for 'am' command and try to run activities for bluetooth settings to show this menu (sorry, but I don't know what will have to be activity name exactly, yet - so you'll have to search for it).

Hi All,

How can we have Full HD Android on Full HD TV's?

I am tired of having 720p videos and youtube and apps on a Full HD TV, that is marketed as a Full HD TV.

Whenever I try to run a Full HD 1080p Movie, the player downgrades it to 720p because every Android App is running in 720p !!!!!!!

I was lied that this is Full HD TV !!! It is Full HD only for external sources like HDMI, but not for anything related to the smart features.

For example on any LG and Samsung, when I play any 1080p Video with integrated player the video displayed is 1080p. Not downgraded to 720p.
