Hi, I have the same model as you do and no I don't have any problem streaming UHD even with HDR.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Rajnus:
Did you connect over cable or WiFi? Can you maybe measure max bandwidth which you get?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
Cable, I'll try to look when I'm back home, but even 100m is way enought for Ultra HD.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Rajnus:
Well I have video which is in average 65Mbit. But by dynamic screens it goes over 85Mbit which is close to real throughput where it stutters. My camera records video in 120Mbit, this is to much for cable. But unfortunately I can not get higher bandwidth even over WiFi although it is ac standard according to specs. On my macbookAir it goes over 20MB/s. One thing to mention, it goes over smb. I have read today that over upnp should be better.

Edit: my TV is 6501
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
Yes it noticed in my old Philips that it was faster via UPNP
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Rajnus:
Jep over upnp goes faster. I have played the same UHD and the peak bitrate was 95Mbit and it did not stutter. I am doing now indexing of files on my NAS and I will try with 120Mbit video. If that works it is more than I would need.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] g_dinos:
Can you please give us more specific detail (part number ... etc) for this upgrade in public or with pm?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Rajnus:
Update. When I play video from my camera it stutters. Then I tried the same thing on my bedroom TV which has latest amazon fire TV. The TV is on other side of bedroom behind 3 walls and lot of furniture. To my surprise it was working. I have better bandwidth on TV behind so many opstacles then on philips with AP just few centimetres away. So I am now looking for some USB 3.0 RJ45 adapter which supports android. Does anybody has some suggestions?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
You have more than 100 mb with your Amazon fire TV behind 3 walls? Not sure it's bandwidth related. I had same problem with my previous Philips'TV and since I went on this model, everything works perfectly and I didn't change anything except the TV.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Rajnus:
Yes, but only over upnp. Over smb is not over 30-40Mbit if I recall it correctly. I would say it is model problem. I have Ubiquiti edgerouter x and AP, so LAN is not for sure. Anyhow problem is solved but for the next TV I will keep my eyes on LAN performance.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
I'm not sure about something, we don't have HDR Youtube right cause no VP9 version 2? :rolleyes:
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Rajnus:
I do not know.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ReniekPL:
I got my 55pus7170 back from service 1.5 week ago and they did nothing...only reset the firmware. Ever since it was returned it cannot use any of the smart functions anymore (unable to connect to smart server while e.g youtube works fine...so it's not a network issue)

My feeling is that they broke something during the reset as the serialno and model number are gone in the service menu 1236540 (positions 1.1 and 1.2 show SEE_TYPE_PLATE).

It'll be picked up again tomorrow to go back to service. But am afraid they still don't fix it and I'll get it back in its old crappy state. Not responding apps, reboots, hangs etc.

Is there a way I can get the R2 kit installed ? My Philips guarantee runs out on 31/12/2017 ☹

Thx Rene
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] sweetohmygod:
Cheers. I own a pus6561, updated to latest os and now i have micro sound stutter in youtube app. Also, do you guys know if clouding is a legit argument for warranty? Its driving me nuts
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] paychi:
I have 55pus7170 too and after multiple phone calls and emails to the service center for about a month, they finally told me that it is possible to upgrade to R2 for me. Yesterday they took my TV and I pray that everything will be OK when I receive it back.. So [MENTION=8710371]ReniekPL[/MENTION] it should be possible, just tell to the service workers that you know about upgrade and you want it.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

7170/7180 is possible since 4th december 2017... not before... ;)

Toengel@Alex

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

Hi,

they forgot to input the model number and serial number in the service menu... you can do that, but the service too... they should do it, cause you still have warrenty...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] brigidino:

Is 3D working good with the R2? Is it possible to use 3D in Android apps, for example Youtube?

And what about the remote? From pictures of 6401 model I see that it does not have qwerty, is it true?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] admiro:
Hi, 3D in Android apps it's not possible.

Remote has qwerty on back side.

It's IR remote, but it work like a charm, not like my previous 55PUS7150/12 crap.

Ps. 3D is really obsolete, i don't even tested it in movies.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] JescaHoogendijk:
Just got our tv upgraded to the r2 board under warranty. Should you still have doubts, the upgrade made our tv useable again. Before the upgrade, the sound would often fail, the tv would reboot randomly, and the tv would be generally slow. All of these issues are now resolved. They changed the board on the spot within an hour.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] christian_cvi:
Hi guys, my 55pus8909c/12 is bricked after trying to default restore.

Has entered in a logo, black screen, logo, recovery loop.

I tried wipedatatool.upg and I tried updating the last update 154 and not repair it.

I can't connect by adb because in wifi the permission is denied and not detect by usb connect.

I have read a lot of posts looking for a solution but nothing...

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance... sorry for my bad English.

Hello,

I have pus7170 and I want R2 board upgrade. I've just called help desk and consultant told me that R2 upgrade isn't possible for 7170. I asked her if she's sure, because I heard that it's possible but with potential trade offs (3d, 8gb storage etc) but she said that they have list of devices participate in replacement program and 7170 isn't there.

She said that today they released new software that might help, but I highly doubt it.

Can I go straight to an authorized service?

I live in Poland if that matters.

How to force R2 replacement for 7170?

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lathou:
Hi all,

[MENTION=8673431]Toengel[/MENTION], do you know if they plan to add the 7120 to the list of R2 upgrade compatibility?

Or at least if there are some similarities with the others 7150, 7100, 7170 and 7180 that could give me some hints on a potential upgrade to R2.

Thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

dont have any infos on 7120... but this is also the only one with active 3d...

Toengel@Alex
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lathou:
Thanks [MENTION=8673431]Toengel[/MENTION], I'll wait and see then, but it seems less likely to happen.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] straumli:
Hi Toengel,

Could you perhaps summarise which models should be(come) candidates for R2 board upgrades? Only the 7000 series or also the 6000 series?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

TVs with firmware QV151 (without 8700 and 7120)...

Lucky you :)

May i knows where are you from?

In Poland they still claim that r2 isn't possible for 7170
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] paychi:
I am from Slovakia, so you may contact the service center with this information:

My TV was upgraded according to the manufacturer's instructions # SCC_114579 # with KIT 7170&7180 MODULE ASSY 3.3V for **/12
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] pr0pr:
I will try. Thank you a lot!

Twin tuner still working ?

3D still working ?

Thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] paychi:
Hi,

3D is working but second CI slot is covered so only one is now available. But it's not problem for me, better for me is to have faster TV without problems and with one tuner and only 8GB memory than laggy freezing crap with two tuners and 16GB memory :)

Anyone got screen saver working? I can see it in android settings. Enabled backdrop, set to 5 minutes but it doesn't work automatically. My tv is 49pus6482 (2017)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] zworo:
I've recently got upgrade to 49pus7170/R2 and everything works awesome right now... BUT there is one bug i've noticed and I'm wonder if you have same problem too.

After long use of TV, usually in the evening when i turn it off it turns on itself. After that I can turn it off again for good but first attempt is always "restarting" tv.

Does anyone have the same problem?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Rajnus:
I had that problem on 6501 model. It got fixed on the next update.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] zworo:
unfortunatelly I've already have newest firmware (QM163E.0.15.251.1) ....
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] paychi:
On my 55PUS7170 R2 I have exactly this problem too on latest firmware.

I had this problem also before upgrade to R2 with Android 5.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] blop135:
Guys, my question will maybe seem dumb but is there a way to make the TV boot directly on the Android TV's interface instead of the last input when you turn it on?

Thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ReniekPL:
I'm in Poland also, and I just got my TV (55PUS7170) back today, with the R2 board :)

Speed is great, channel switching is good... no more 15 secs waiting when switching a channel.

Need a bit more time to see if stability is good as well.

Something I wasn't aware of is that they downgrade the 7170 to a single tuner, single CI slot - which is what I initially bought the TV for - but think I can live with it - dual CI slot was crap anyway as it wasn't supporting 2 different modules with 2 different cards :(

Oh.... and you also get a new remote to go with the R2 board... no microphone, slightly different layout, but seems to work ok.

Regards,

Reniek
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] CarciofoaPropulsione:
I have a 55PUS7100 bought in Italy in august 2015, out of warranty now but is there any way to still get this R2 upgrade? How much would it cost for philips to do it? Is it possible to do it on my own/pay a technician?

Thanks for any replies
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] andre_wj:
Hey [MENTION=4348417]fma965[/MENTION] - to which version of SW it's a downgrade?

Also, is it official update/downgrade instruction?

I also do have a 43pus6401, and after last update netflix doesn't work anymore. I don't care about newest android etc.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] fma965:
Yes it's official and it took it to the previous android version
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] andre_wj:
Whoa [MENTION=4348417]fma965[/MENTION], I didn't expect such quick reply! Thanks very much.

So, if I understood You well, it'll take me from QM163E_U_0.15.251.1 to QM163E_U_0.15.209.1 ? And Can You confirm it's safe for the tv?

Hallo

What about resolution of android apps? Is it possible to change it to 1080p?

From previous post I understood that isn't problems with install apps from another source than google market with application for android tv. That true?

Wysłane z iPhone za pomocą Tapatalk
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lewy20041:
On 4k Philips TVs android part is run in 1080p and on Full HD TVs its 720p.

As to apps yes, you can easly install from other sources if you enable "Unknown Sources" in Settings using the method i posted erlier.

Hope that helps

Any Chance to install Android 5.1 on a philips pfs 8159?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] peppies:
Nope we have older hardware only with 6 or 4 processors :))) Philips said : The Philips 2014TVs powered by Android will not be upgraded to the AndroidTM L OS. The upcoming Android L OS requires new hardware components which cannot be built into the sets retroactively. However, the UHD 880 media box will have Android Lollipop OS built into it, and you can access it as a standard media box.

Kodi on 55PSF8209

Installed from google play and it's working, no problem. From time to time (not often), it seems to freeze (not during playback, but in all add-on navigation, installing, uninstalling...). Force closing it from android settings, app management resolves it.

But my question is about 3d playback trough kodi. It plays side by side, even if i try different modes from kodi's 3d video settings. If i press 3d button from remote, i only get 2d, everything else is grey. Is there a way to wach 3d content from kodi?

Thanks.

Hello,

I just acquire a philips 55pus7100 under Lollipop

I do not turn 'unknown sources' with the terminal with "am start --user com.android.settings 0 -n / .SecuritySettings"

The option is grayed out. I can not move the cuseur.

I installed also 'developpers tools' and I do not have the option available either.

Do you have a solution?

Thank's
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] igreks:
I bought the 8109 55'' yesterday and of course my first thought was to install Kodi. I have succeeded using Google Play on the newest version of firmware (I didn't check what is the number). Right before Kodi I have installed MX Player and right after I have installed custom repository plugins and one of the film I have been playing was shown as 1080p (working like a charm). I haven't linked TV with home cinema, so sound is ****ty (surround emulation does nothnig). Setting 3d in Kodi in film options seems does nothing. I'll try to find real 3d film to see if it'll be working.

Update #1:

3D works in some applications (i.e. Polish app IPLEX).

Multiscreen works also with some applications (there is russian app, but i dont remember its name). When active, one can using multiview activate PIP, but there is no way to close this russian app :).

Hi all, very interested read regarding the R2 upgrade. Which are the models this is possible for? I have the 55PUS7272, and I'm experiencing all of the typical Android TV issues listed, but the audio issue is the most pressing one I'd like to get fixed.

So question: is there a hw upgrade for the 7272, or what would you recommend as a course of action to get it working as intended? (On the latest fw, so Android 7).

Thanks!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] paychi:
Hi, 7272 is the latest model. R2 upgrade is only for oldest 2015 Android TV models
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ckarv:
Thanks paychi. Really pulling at straws here to get the promised functionality for my TV. ? What about open sourcing the firmware, or parts of it? Has this idea been introduced to the Philips dev team? (Had anyone even ever been in direct contact with the dev team?

Hi all,

Please can anyone help me. I have a PUS6561 and I can't root it. I am now updated to the latest firmware Android 7.1.2 and firmware QM163E.0.15.251.1

The problem is that I want to use an external hard drive attached via usb to view some media files I own. I do not want to install it as an internal drive to install apps.

I can use this hdd, but can't ftp to upload files from my Android phone or win 10 laptop. With kodi I can't delete or rename my files and have to unplug and replug to PC to copy. I have a lot of videos of my kids I want to transfer as I make them on my phone, but it gets more difficult without ftp. I am a bit of a noob but can figure out stuff if given the tip. Any help is highly appreciated on how to ftp or any other wireless option to move the files to the external HDD connected to the TV and be able to edit or delete them there

Thanks Toengel! Just a quick check. So for the latest Marshmallow version, I would download this one:

QM163E_U_0.10.77.2 – Date: 2017/07/12, and all the models listed above it use the same file, correct?

Is there a procedure documented somewhere that I can follow, or is it similar to "upgrading"? I would presume the TV doesn't find a "new version" in the USB drive if it's an older firmware?

Thanks a lot!

Chris

Edit: Marshmallow not Nougat

Edit2: Found general instructions for downgrade: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74885354&postcount=1373 Can someone confirm if this is the correct way of approaching this? Also, has there been bricking incidents? (What is the risk?)
