Hi guys

Using the Philips 7600 . Is it correct the network speed (wired and wifi) is capped to 50 Mbps even the ethernet connector is a 100 base-sx? Could you please test it with the site: fast.com using the internet browser on the tv? thanks!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ovso:
I would test it for you but my internet line is only 20 Mbps :) I am using only Ethernet connection on my TV together with fast SSD disk plugged into it. When I download stuff from TV to computer I can achieve constant speed around 60 Mbps on a local network so I think the bottle neck is not the Ehternet/Wireless adapter itself but something prior to it, perhaps the Philips "bloatware" on top of Android (my opinion)...

Kodi 15.* nightly builds work on this TV

Hi,

quick tutorial:

1) Download terminal emulator from playstore

2) Open terminal emulator and paste this without quota "am start --user 0 -n com.android.settings/.SecuritySettings"

3) Enable unknow sources

4) Download latest Kodi dev build verison from here: mirrors.kodi.tv/nightlies/android/arm/

5) Install and enjoy!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] meijerhj:
On my 48PFS8109 I can only enjoy it once. After closing the application (or rebooting the TV set) it won't start anymore. Only after replacing it with another build it will start again and then all setting have been lost.

Kodi/Xbmc crash on startup

Did you find a fix for this issue, i am having exactly the same problems, crashes on startup. Tried all sorts of stuff: With and without internet, on factory version of operating system and newest software updates, tried most of xbmc and kodi versions, on hdd and internal hdd. Nothing makes a difference.

BTW didnt have the sounds issues you had.

Really need some help...

Just tried Frodo version, and it works fine... though very outdated so would like to get Kodi to work. Could it be some of the preinstalled addons in the newer versions that might be causing the issue?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] michie:
Ok so Philips stated that due to the hardware of the 2014 android tv´s they will NOT receive the lollipop update of the 2015 line.

The only way for us to be able to update will be a custom rom based on the 2015 abdroid TV line which will need a software dump , a port and a custom recovery.

I dont think this will be easy at all... but i do see some interesting progress in achieving root here :)

I had this version to, using adb I rebooted in recovery and flashed the upg file.

No, factory reset only deletes data, does not revert any firmware to previous version. However, 6400 series is currently unrootable because of dm-verity (aka. Verified Boot) security used in this firmware.

Not only, they have created new major bug (which makes remote completely not working)

(in all models based on QM152E platform)

In some countries Philips support sends new IR-based remotes to TV owners as workaround.

Soon it will be two weeks since this fw has been released and issue is still not solved.

Fw downgrade back to 000.005.234.010 does not fix this problem.

So, if you own 2015 model TV from 5xx0 or 6xx0 series (QM152E in firmware version) then DO NOT UPDATE FW to this new version !
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] tbmiso:
You must reinstall tv, and pair your remote during reinstalll. After that it will be ok ( i have pfh6510 version).

You'll get it again soon, too.

unbrick ADB reboot bootloader

Hi radkor. I think you already solved the problem with ADB reboot bootloader, but if someone having this problem, the solution is quite simple, just a USB cable (male-male) is required

also you can make one, cut 2 male cables and soldering wires.. red-red, white-white, green-green, black-black.

Plug the TV and connect the cable into the USB 1 or USB "A" on the TV, and connect the cable to PC, now on PC, with FASTBOOT, run fastboot reboot

this solution/ unbrick may work for any android tv, today I tested in my 55PUG7100/78 after do "ADB reboot bootloader"
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] xeros2:
It's known bug, since 9 months.

Looks like it happens when you do firmware upgrade - most likely these are some changed offsets of values for these settings.

In my case the solution was quite simple (I've done it trying to solve different bugs) - "Reinstall TV" option in menu.

It cleans everything - including all apps, settings, USB disk/stick configuration, channels, etc.

You may do a channels & USB data backups first, then restore channels after this cleanup.

It helped at least for me - few days, with many options changed, some additional apps installed (including installation on USB stick), but this bug didn't appear again (yet).

Hi all,

I've seen that there are many requests to choose another app than netflix to be started when clicking on the netflix button on the remote control.

I've developed an app for my Sony Android TV that allows to choose a custom app to start when clicking the netflix button.

I think that this solution should work on a Philips Android TV too but I can't test it.

I need somebody with a Philips Android TV and some basic technical knowledge to test it.

ROOT is NOT required! The app will be available over Play Store if it works.

If you can help me, please send me a private message with the e-mail address of your play store account, the model name and the installed android version of your tv. (I need the E-Mail address to add you to the test group to install the app on your tv over play store.)
