Are XBR-43X830C & KD-43X8500C same TV's with different names in different markets?

The only difference I found is: XBR-43X830C has Motionflow XR 960 (native 120 Hz) & KD-43X8500C Motionflow XR 200Hz.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] xela19115:
Not exactly correct. X83C does not support 3D and X85C does.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] sghurrie:
I'm looking to buy a couple pairs of 3D glasses for the Sony W800C, just curious if anyone can recommend some models that would be compatible? That information seems to be a bit lacking in my research. From what it looks like, they need to be Active 3D glasses in order to work. I'm just not positive if all "Active 3D" glasses will work.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] novahob:
Have I read it write that Sony x83c model doesn't meet sky q minimum specification for frame rate of 50 per second? If so I'm pretty disappointed ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mirox3m:
Buy a pair of Samsung glasses. They are 30 Euro - about 30-40 USD for the pair.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Tungil:
Has anyone any experience with the europe V3.473 Version?

It only states "general android update", right? Is it the same as version PKG3.473.0107PAA ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] hansip87:
just got it, no major improvement though. I really hope Sony is jumping straight to Android 7 though.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Tungil:
and what about the minor improvements?

Any disadvantages/problems with the new version?

I'm almost happy with the current state of my TV...^^
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] hansip87:
Seems like the remote issue (stuck while long pressing/rapif clicking etc) is fixed though.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Tungil:
So no new (major) bugs introduced? Than I'm gonna update it. Thanks very much for your support! :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] fragel:
Anyone notice that when subtitles appears (and during the seconds they are showed) the screen backlight turns up? Specially in dark rooms. I searched for a setting about, bud couldn't find anything, so I think it's a minor bug either from Android or Netflix App (where I consume subtitled content).

I have X850C.

I updated to last build yesterday and I think it's gone. Need to test more thoroughly in darker conditions.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] codryn:
Hello. Does anybody know how to disable tweeter feed from action Menu? Or what app I have to disable from app manager? I know is possible because if you use restricted profile, feed is not there anymore.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BlueMoonRising:
Mine started coming out of standby at random times since this last update, I'm trying a suggestion from the Sony forums at the moment:

Set the [Auto TV on] setting of [BRAVIA Sync settings] to [Off].

Edit: hmm, that didn't work. I've turned the sync off entirely now.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Tungil:
Cannot comment on that, as I turn of all the Power in the living-room remotely when not in use... :(
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BlueMoonRising:
I'd do that myself but we have Sky and the start up time is just too painful.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] novahob:
Mine did that a few versions back and after removing my Blu-ray from bravia sync it fixed it. I liked having the sync set up but random tv turn on wasn't good either. Latest update for me seems to be working OK.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BlueMoonRising:
I haven't got anything synched though so it shouldn't be doing it in the first place, it's also only happened since the last upgrade which is odd. I've not tested it yet with synch turned entirely off but that should do it.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BlueMoonRising:
I turned synch off entirely and it still managed to turn itself back on last night, the wife lost patience and just plugged everything out of the wall (that certainly stopped it) and I'm waiting to see if it comes back on now plugged back in.

Perhaps that's the one thing I didn't do, 'have you tried turning it off and back on again?'

I'm waiting with baited breath, if that doesn't work I'll have to get a switched power extension and leave it accessible.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BlueMoonRising:
Turning the power off at the wall sorted it (after turning off Bravia synch entirely) and rebooting, the setting wasn't sticking otherwise. It spent the entire night in standby, presumably turning off just 1 device would also need it to be unplugged for a minute and then allowed to reboot.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mike freegan:
Hey man. Did you (or anyone) figure out how to do this without losing access to iPlayer / 4OD / ITV PLayer apps? They seem to be built into YouView, and are only shown in the featured apps list on my Sony TV. These apps don't appear in the general apps list.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mike freegan:
Hey there. Did you get anywhere with this?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] steford:
Unfortunaely not. I am simply using Youview and the Sony Select app. Not ideal but I'm not a heavy user. I would still prefer different apps with their own icons and Youview off but it's OK.

hi everyone How to Fix Sony Bravia Automatic Dimming:crying::crying:

Is there a way to disable the adaptive brightness on Android TV (I use Sony Bravia w800c vietnam)? When I watch a movie, MX Player, kodi, video player sony, changes the brightness automatically - e.g. on dark scenes. Auto brightness is disabled in TV settings.

i has turn off sensor, auto brightness , but nothing change

Hey guys, it looks like I've bricked my Android TV, link is community.sony co uk/t5/televisions/infinite-initial-setup-loop/td-p/2216386.

Are there any tutorials on how I can "fastboot reboot" it?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ucraiova88:
are there any rumors about Android 7.0? before anyone jumps on me because not even 6.0 was released yet, i was thinking about the rumors that maybe Sony is skipping 6.0. there are some interesting rumored features on 7.0 and i really hope Sony will give it to us.

Sometimes the flash drive is not recognized on USB port and I have to reboot the TV in order to be able to gain again access on the drive. Do you have this issue? Is there any workaround? Thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BlueMoonRising:
It had difficultly before the last update with my 2.5" 500MB external HD and would only pick up some of the video files on it. I unplugged the drive and tried again and it picked up more although not all.

I haven't tried since the update.

You shouldn't need to reboot the TV, just plug it out and back in again.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] marius2du:
The thing is that the tv is mounted on the wall. Kinda difficult to plug and unplug the USB device each time it is not recognized.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] butcher33:
you can buy a cheap 1m extension for this... cant be more than 2$
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] marius2du:
I have extension but on different USB port.

I don't see unplugging and plugging back the drive as a reliable solution. On another TV I own, a USB drive is beeing plugged in since the day one and I haven't encountered any issues so far.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] butcher33:
I really doubt that you have a 1TB flash drive and only SD content, so in order to update the data on it, you have to unplug it here and there to connect it to a comp.

There is also the possibility of a semi broken flash drive - had some issues with a cheap chinese one. On the laptop it worked flawlessly, on the office comp it wasn't recognized every time.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BlueMoonRising:
I can only tell you what happens with mine bud, if you don't want to try it and would rather reboot the TV and wait for it to go through a full restart then that's your prerogative.

Screensaver with wrong time....

Hi everyone!

I have the KDL-50W800C, and I have a weird problem, not that it bothers me too much, but despite the system time being set correctly, and displaying correctly on the home screen. (UTC + 10 AEST) When the device enters Daydream screensaver mode the time displayed is UTC -10. Has anyone else come across anything like this?

Cheers,

Andrew
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] pedroxxx:
Not everybody have Google+, so I will place here Android TV developers comment from jun about bug in Sony Android TVs.

So I think Sony will probably release 2016 devices with 6.0, to have same SW developement sources, and ony Nexus and maybe Nvidia Shield will have 7.0 this year. That means also a good news for current owners of Sony Android TV, next OTA update will be probably with 6.0.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] A.D.I.O.S:
just had a really weird bug with spotify.

when i opened the app only a code appeared (see screenshot).

reinstalling fixed it though..

has anyone else seen this before?

Hi,

W800 (with latest update) is disconnecting from my WiFi and then I have to restart the TV to connect again as it is unable to find any signal. Any clue what's causing this?

Thanks!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BlueMoonRising:
Have you tried rebooting the router first off?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] butcher33:
is always easier to hold the power button on the remote for a few sec than unplug the router in another room :)

but after TV restart, it immediately finds all WiFis in the neighborhood, thats why assumed it is TV related.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BlueMoonRising:
It may well be but rebooting the router won't do any harm and will rule it out as a culprit.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] butcher33:
will do that next time this issue occures, but its strange that 3 laptops and a lot of phones work flawlessly on tn the same WiFi.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BlueMoonRising:
If you've got lots of them on at the same time then that could be the problem. I'm hardwired but I presume https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en_GB will work on the TV to check your WiFi channels. If the TV can't change channels try changing the other devices channels instead. It may just be a weak WiFi signal where the TV is of course.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] davidvv:
WiFi works like old wired systems like hubs and token rings (not exactly but Only for explaining it) where all devices using WiFi are fighting for conection and Only 1 device is REALLY conected at a time, The conected device changes really fast so we dont really notice it but When more and more devices use The same WiFi those intervals between conected and pass The #baton# to other device are longer, giving connection problems.

Planning to Purchase Sony XBR49X800D

I just wanted to know what mx player pro i need installed on this TV? The guys at the store werent much help on this one. I've tested the tv but as i suspected, the built it app for this tv will not play many videos especially the 10but variety.

I've downloaded the latest version of the app from mobilism.org but am unsure if it is the correct one. Anyone know what kind of video hardware it uses? I really want to buy the tv but if it can't play all the videos i need then it may well be a deal breaker.

Can someone help?

Also, another question i would like answered would be if i do play my videos with mx player.. do the 4k upscaler and other options usable with the default video app be usable on it?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shamlou:
I have w800c

mx....armv7 with neon codec

you can install cpu-z from Gplay , as you can see chipset armv7/armv7i ====> so install armv7 neon of mxplayer

.

yes and better to enable hw+ decoder . But if you mean HEVCx265 , it only can play blow of 1.2gb of size video x265 1080p FOR a movie (=around 1500to2000kbps video bitrate) ***

.

yes all formats and all encodinf options of any video file can play . even dts and flac and very good sync of srt subtitle even seek video .

.

for 4k my idea is YES . because its a lot of setting options in mx player for that . and kodi application .

.

*** look at "xiaomi mi box 3 pro enhanced" in mi.com/index.html (translate it . DO NOT enter global site)

to see what RAM and GPU can play smoothly a video at "4k x265 ~8000kbps bitrate 10bit at 60fps even with 3D!" together all in one video file!!!

I order it :p

Hi, I have the 65xd8599 and my internet via cable is very slow. I get only 50 Mbit/s with a new cat 6A ethernet cable (with my notebook I get 80 Mbit/s with this cable). Via wifi the tv gets 80 Mbit/s. Does someone know if Sony TVs don't have gigabit ethernet? Would be great if someone could post his internet speed via cable, too.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Fibercoax:
I am a owner of a XD8505 and i am really disappointed, this because of many reasons.

After unpacking the television , i have on the left and right corner dark spots , some leds not lighting up correctly after 2 replacements i went to the store and unpacked one there It have the same screen problem Ugly as hell. Look like a total badge went wrong I will try to get a last year model - > KD-55X8507C and see if the edge led is better.

Second thing is a messy Android 5 what is packed with full off garbage / bloatware that some ppl never will know how to use. This all makes the interface laggy and hanging.

I setup a handful of movies from a hard drive and the os crashed a couple of times out of nothing .. I feel so sad !

Color is nice , till you see the color black ( yes i know this is no Oled ) But when watching in the daylight you will need a litle bit brightness power and then black gets grey !

Also don’t forget that this TV don’t have HDR hardware , HDR works oke but don’t think you hit the jackpot.

Ok ok there is good news too , for the content hunter android have the flexibility to install apps from unknown sources and the google store., so Kodi and Plex are running out of the box That heal the wounds a allot !

Becase this is brand new i will not mess with any bloatware remover , root and adb for now.

Just one more thing for ppl that want to squeeze every thingy out of there tv.

If you want to use 2160p60 from your (Older) AMD card you need a DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI converter Club3D got a nice one also check if you HDMI cable can send 4.4.4 4.2.2 signals Some 2.0HDMI cables not pushing that bandwidth

If ppl have tips , feedback , please let me know. !

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Gadgetnutter:
All,

On my new Sony Bravia Android TV, no matter what I do, I can't get the Amazon Instant Video app (v1.39) to stream.

I can sign in and see the content, but trying to play anything returns an error message stating..

"Player Error

We're experiencing a problem playing this video

If this problem continues, please contact Amazon Customer Services

Error Code: UNKNOWN_ERROR"

Curiously, I get a similar error on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 mobile phone, but the error is "Service Error"

I can however stream OK on my Windows laptop.

Amazon Customer Services really haven't a clue

Anyone got any ideas?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Murmel2k:
So are there any news of ongoing rooting works or a dev interested in these devices? I am using a KD-49X8305C and I am really looking for a root. I would also donate for it. The TV is nice. But like on smartphones there are still flaws, which were fixed by custom rom done by the community.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] hansip87:
Aside from overclocking needs, i don't think rooting is necessary. Never mind about custom ROM, this is pure Android mate so i don't think such measure will be available.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Murmel2k:
Custom ROMs work alot better than pure Android from my experience. Many features on the smartphone of which I thought, they are Android standard, come in fact from the custom rom I'm using. I expect the same from a Android TV ROM. The Android TV Launcher is also far from perfect. Also would like to use adblock, particularly in the youtube app , which forces me to watch ads (Xposed framework?). And you named already overclocking the not-so-fast SoC.

Not having the opportunity to use root and custom roms on the tv would be very dissapointing.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Barzdukas:
I see root only for one purpose, disable unused apps...

Regarding Mirrorcast any1 tried it ? or WIDI ?

For best player i can recommend Archos with additional codec pack installed, plays nice everything from synology nas.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BallsOfSteel85:
Just Info: Diablo Wifi Cam works on 55X850C ;)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ktownhero:
It's not "pure Android", per se, it has tons of customization in order to tie Android in with the TV's functions like input switching, picture modes, TV tuner, etc. Not to mention Sony's custom applications. Custom ROMs may very well be able to make significant differences in the user interface as well as picture quality of the TV. That is, of course, assuming that Sony is "holding back" on the lesser models. For example, maybe the X850C models have some capabilities in terms of PQ that can be improved? We all know that custom roms have traditionally allowed phones and tablets to be dramatically improved in terms of both performance and picture quality. Why would a TV be any different, especially considering this is a first generation product?
