Hi All,

I have received the 55PUS7150 with R2 upgrade. I can't find words to describe what a big upgrade this is. It is incredible. 4K works, no input lag for gaming, you have the Passive 3D working, new functionalities to the ambilight system which is really really cool, now the sound is twice as loud and clear than it was, which is a really good thing. It is clear that this isn't a perfect platform still, but there is no comparison to the old crap that Marvel was. Also the HDR is working perfectly because HDR in fact is really the decoding process. I also have an LG with native HDR and I can see they both look very similar from the contrast and color point of view. Either way, HDR is for nothing if you don't have a high brightness and contrast screen. Compared to the 48PUS7600 with R3 which I had, the HDR on 7150 is displayed correctly from internal player and external source, Xbox One. On the 7600 there where some really big issues with the color, it seemed it was 16 bit of color or lower. On the 7150 like I said, HDR is being displayed perfectly with good contrast and colors.

Now I will see if it will wake up the house in the morning or not . Either way, it is a tremendous upgrade that really makes a PERFECT hybrid which has Passive 3D with working 4K, low input lag for gaming with three sided ambilight, HDR and Android. Now, if the screen would have been an OLED screen instead of ****ty IPS one, I could have died right now with no regrets ))))

I will update if I have the wake up bug also. We will see in the morning.

Cheers my friends and MAKE THE UPGRADE !!! You deserve it.

See ya,

Vlad

Now regarding QM163E_U_0.15.251.1 on 55PUS7150/R2 I have issues with accentuated characters (diacritics) from the Romanian language in TV Guide and whenever I change the channel and I have accentuated characters in the displayed program, the system puts an AE just before any accentuated characters and it is really hard to read. This is with UPC broadcast and I think it affect all of them. I didn't had this issue with the old board and Android 5.

I have tried to change every language in the system to English or Romanian back and forth but with no luck.

Do you have issues with this also? Can I please receive a workaround or fix for this?

Thank you.

Ok, thank you. I got my 3d back due to my n+1 phone calls to Philips tech guys. They didn't read the instalation guide. Today they solved with NVM update.

L. E. I believe now i don't have the HDR feature...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

HDR was enabled by accident in the first weeks after the hardware upgrade was published... so, it's not a bug, if it is not available anymore on R-releases...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
Hi Toengel, please explaine it better, are you telling that HDR is just fore some lucky guys? Or even if i have HDR is a fake HDR? Or third case is just a commercial policy to not be so much generous?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

no - the HDR option may do some upscaling, but it looks "****ty" cause the software is not adapted to the panel. The TVs with the hardware upgrade kit are not intended to be capable of HDR. If you have the HDR option: you have outdated NVM/EED software. You could call service center and say "that the service forgot to install NVM and EED cause 3D is not working or the model number is wrong" - then you will get the latest software...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] admiro:
I have HDR active on 7150\R2, will it be better to do upgrade with new NVM/EED?

Is it possible that colours are not natural (too purple/blue), and needs some adjustment because of that old NVM/EED?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

not sure about the colors...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Hi All,

I have HDR on 7150/R2 and is working good enough, with good colors and contrast, as much as the IPS can do. HDR is more a decoding feature on low cost panels and works the same as on another low cost IPS LG I have. True HDR is trully visible on high contrast high end screens and NOT on low cost IPS screens. This doesn't mean that HDR is not being processed, because at least in my case is being processed.

And I also have a working 3D with working 3 sided ambilight. I also don't have issues with TV waking in the morning or anything else.

All is fine after TV firmware upgrade. The accentuated characters issue with Romanian language in TV Guide is still there.

Cheers,

Vlad

HDMI/ARC sound still seems to be broken.

jeromec over from the Philips support forums:

This is heavily impacting the usability of the TV for me, and I'm now thinking it won't be fixed. So maybe it's time to return the TV altogether if we can't somehow help Philips fix this issue ourselves? I'm guessing it has to do with an improper implementation of the sound API.

Any ideas?

Yesterday my TV (55PUS7170) rebooted while watching (first time after the R2 upgrade in decemer) and since this my TV cannot connect to any wireless network. It just does not find any.. Do you have some tips, or I must put the TV again in the service center? I tried factory reset but it didn't help.

Thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
Hi, i have hdr and passive 3d working, so it means my nvm/eed is updated? Anyway i do not see nothing wrong in my HDR it is not so impressive has i have expected
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
HI,

if you have HDR and 3D working, it means only, that you have a old version ov NVM/EED installed...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:
Plase forgive me i need to focus on the point, i have 55US7100/R2 and the old NVM/EED , i just download the new one following the link.

If i install it what i will improve and what i will loose?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

with the latest version of NVM/EED you won't have HDR option (and this is not a bug). HDR was enabled by accident in the first version of NVM/EED software.

Does anyone know how to disable recommendations on the home screen? I deleted "Philips Collection" using this adb command:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 org.droidtv.leanbackcustomizer

The same way for recommendations does not work: org.droidtv.nettv_launcherapp deleted, but row with recommendations is still here. Any idea?

P.S. I have PUS6482 with TPM171E_003.000.208 f/w (Android 7).
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
I have removed the stupid "recommendations" by going on every app that had recommendations and disabling the Notification checkbox or radio dial.

Why the hell would have they put recommendations if they are NOT according to what you are using or watching?

For example, from YouTube I see all kind of stupid videos I guess recommended by location, as I didn't EVER watched any kind of similar videos in the past. Also, as a cherry on top, I can't remove an annoying video from the recommendation field of the TV launcher, even if I click the damn thing and it is "watched", even though I didn't want to watch it in the first place. This is the most pointless recommendation EVER, I consider it to be a spam and this is why I will always disable it.

Fix your **** google for ****s sake.

I have a problem with amazon prime, with all the app i tested , i'm now running the official app pushed by playstore. as i said the problem is the same , it doesn't "save" the language preference . All the time i play a new content , amazon run it in english, i have to change it manually to italian all the time. When i change the language the content will be play in italian language, but if i play a new one it start in english. It is a know issue?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

what is the standard language of your TV? Also Italian?

Hi

I work in a hospital, My boss wants me to make a video for a TV, so I deceided to take a philips android tv (6400series) to play videos in kodi.

I'm near my goal, the only thing is... I want the tv to sleep at night and auto wake on morning. kodi is set to autolaunch on stat or wake up , I only need a way to auto start and stop the tv.

Any idea?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
I just now have noticed that the 3D options on the upgraded 55PUS7150/R2 no longer work. 2D to 3D works like before, but the side by side and all the other options don't split the images and then put them toghether like it should. The effect for example for 3D side by side is that you only see the left half of the picture but with the 2D to 3D effect, it is like you have only the picture for only one eye put to be seen on both. The easiest way you can see this is by going to a non 3D TV channel and set the 3D side by side and you will only see the left half of the picture streched on the entire screen, with the 2D to 3D "effect" put on top. If the 3D side by side would have worked as it should then the image on the screen should have been a mess with both halfs of the picture put one on top of the other. This is not the case after the upgrade.

After the board was upgraded, the 3D worked like it should. After the TV made it's firmware upgrade to this version, the 3D got lost.

I want to mention that on the PS3 with Gran Turismo 6, the 3D still works like it should. It seems that the 3D signal that is being directly sent to the TV still works.

The issue is with the 3D transformation options from the TV, side by side, inverted side by side, top and down, etc. The only "effect" that works is 2D to 3D, as all others double the same eye image on both eyes. Basically can't watch any 3D movies because they all are being displayed as plain 2D image with 2D to 3D on top, only the picture for one eye is being shown.

Can I please receive the last EED and NVM software files for 55PUS7150/R2 to be able to repair the 3D after every firmware upgrade? Is there any official fix being worked on?

Thank you.

Hi,

I got a 48PUS7600/12. The TV is not under warranty anymore. How can i obtain from Philips to upgrade to the motherboard R3 version?

Can you elaborate more about the issues we got with that TV? Is it entirely software bugs or is it also hardware related?

Thank you.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
I have tested the above on an upgraded 55PUS7150/R2 that was in a boot loop and now it is working just fine.

Please download and keep this file safe as it is GREAT !!! It saved my TV and I want to thank again to "fma965" for this extraordinary post.

Original post:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74885354&postcount=1373

The above file just rewrites the Android 5 on any QM163E platform TV and from there you can update to whatever version your heart desires, without any recovery, bootloops or anything else.

It saved my 55PUS7150/R2. It works on any QM163E platform (ex 43PUS6401/12)

Cheers and have a great day!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] seven21075:
That are great news Marele. I was always wondering what Android Version is behind this downgrade. Can you tell me what version it exactly is? -and what Android version was your TV running before you downgraded him?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MareleVlad:
Hi,

My TV was 7.1.2 and I have downgraded it to 5.0 or 5.1. I don't remember for sure if it was .0 or .1, but it was Android 5 for sure.

I have upgraded it then via software update and I am now back to 7.1.2.

The only "issue" I have is that I don't have Demo Me video file installed. Whenever I open Demo Me, there is no video file for me to play. The first option is deactivated.

Do you guys know how can we install back the factory Demo Me file?

I know is pointless, but I wonder, why after downgrade of software we always lose that demo me video file with the sea side. From what it seems, that video file is in another partition/flash memory.

I guess there must be a pkg file for this Demo Me video file install.

I know I had the same issue with the old PUS7600 I had, and after a few downgrades or I guess after I run the WipeDataTool, I lost the Demo Me video file. The app was still there but there was no video file to play and didn't open. It was the same situation.

Now on 7.1.2, Demo Me app opens, but the video file isn't there after the downgrade was done. The first option in the app is deactivated.

Also, when I press 123654 on the remote, it shows that DemoMe file is not installed.

What can we do to install it again?

Please let me know if you know something, if we can have a pkg file for us to install the Demo Me file.

Cheers,

Vlad

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
What I dont understand why is there no such PiP option in android TV that would enable us to use split screen for regular TV signal and/or HDMI. So for example I connect my laptop to TV and open it, while having PiP on regular cable signal. Or to open netflix app and then smaller PiP. I understand why there is a need for dual tuner for regular PiP, but for options that I want...there is no need for dual tuners only software have to have this programmed.

Hello!

My 48PUS7600 broke - I can not find DVT channels at all, and when I turn on the Philips logo appears from the remote control, and then the black screen. I press the power button again - the same thing happens. Once loaded with 3-4. Changing the firmware does not give anything. WipeDataTool does not help either.

The question is if you change the motherboard to 6401/7601, then will all 3 sides of Ambilight work?

If so, please write how this motherboard is fully called.

Thank you in advance

Is there anything you can install on PUS7600, except R3?

Will all 3 sides of Ambiligt work? Or only 2?

How much I correctly understand - motherboards at PUS6501 and PUS7601 are identical?

Will I need to change the power supply board?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
Toengel, you seems to be the best person to ask this.

Model 6401 and 7502, what is the actual difference, the P5 engine? Or is there any difference on the performance hardware (CPU, codec support, etc) and is there any Philips model that have a 1GB/s LAN? I am having a hard time streaming HDR from my local 100mbps LAN without buffering.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
I have the same problem and I don't think it comes from the ethernet port because I can stream Netlix 4K HDR without any problems.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dare_vv:
I've opened up statistics during 4k HDR play of dunkirk in SPMC and it read around 90mbps of video bitrate as it was a blu ray.

My guess is netflix compresses it as there is no way they are streaming with such a high bitrate. For example, the same video, just in 265H codec was around 20mbps.

I have received an email from Philips where they ask me to review the TV I have.

And of course I tried to post a honest negative review of my bad experience with the 55PUS7150/12 TV on the Philips Romania site.

After the review was sent, it was rejected with the reason:

"Revizuirea dvs. a fost respins din următorul motiv (e): îndepărtează clienții " :)))))))

The translation is: "Your review was rejected for the following reason(s): it scares clients" HAHAHAHAHA

So, listen to this. They send me a spam email asking me to review their product. I take time to review and tell my honest bad experience with the product.

And they reject my one star review because "it scares clients".
