Hi Guys, I need someone's help with my C728, please. I'm in Singapore and I have the UK version I think. I have lots of issues with the software , for instance, no game mode/movie mode sound choice etc... My current firmware is V8-T615T01-LF1V024. Can someone give me the link to the best working firmware update please? is it the 072? Thank you!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Yea, you have V024 early firmware (02 March).

You can flash either V062 (20 May) or latest V072 (20 July).

No much choice atm, hope new version wiil be posted soon.

Btw,

firmware is EU region , so doesn't mean is UK version.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] woolfie72:

No V501 OTA publish...only IMG file.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mariosbbs:
you are right, I think that GTV runs smoother and faster.. also solved some problem (playing some AV codec via Nvidia Shield.. on ATV there is only audio ) but GTV is less customizable, the play store is hidden and Netflix is partially obscured (Amazon primevideo is by any chance sponsor of GTV ?? ).
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] cesarXP:
@AVPhilic Hi!

One question, do you have new calibrated settings for SDR and HDR?

I'm mainly in a bright room, or at least do you have some suggestions?

For the C715.

Regards.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Bobnemouk:
No need for a seperate box - can just connect your satellite cable to the TV.

TCL's web based channel editor isn't currently working - you can do it on the TV but it can be a bit laborious.

There's also SetEdit - but demo version only lets you change 20 channels.

(used the free ToshibaEdit version on a previous TV but haven't tried this TCL version)

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] AVPhilic:
Hi, thanks for your post. For the SDR, the calibrated settings are good for ambient conditions. You may increase the backlight level to your preference based on your viewing environment. Increasing or decreasing the back light settings will never affect the other calibrated picture settings. I prefer to keep the backlight less than 20, irrespective of the environment as it delivers experience closer to the filmmaker mode. Unfortunately TCL C715 doesn't have a film make mode present and I personally like this mode as it delivers close to what the director intended to present.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] DidierXDA:
Hi,

There is no update planned for Android TV 12 or 13?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] magic378:
I think V501 is the LAST for TCL P/Q/C 725 this year and next future,..?! Thanks dor share stasio.. I dont hate u .. its not personal?!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] d_xd:
why do you think that. i think that they shoud solve the dolby vision on the 635 (same platform 725)

For me Its normal that the c728 and tvs with the same platform (more expensive, with gaming features and even others with local dimming) have much more updates, because there are more features to mess up and there is always room for improvment. on the more basic tv tcl shouldnt stop updates if there is any major bug
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nybigapple:
I just bought a s546 and it updated itself to v306 on setup. It does not pass dolby surround over optical, from its own tv/apps or on pass through. I see there is a v335 available. Does anyone know if this fixes the dolby problem? I dont want to blindly install a new firmware, when everything else is working fine.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lapist:
How do you set backlight level on C715? I don't have such option on C635 (~C725), there is only brightness. I saw backlight settings just in service menu, but was not brave enough to try changing it :-)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ganaa_sb:
Can this be flash on the Japanese version C728?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
As I know Japan C728 is differnt platform....R51MT04.

Check your firmware installed in TV.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Bobnemouk:
I think the brightness setting actually controls the backlight on these TVs - that's why it gives you energy efficiency warnings when increasing brightness.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nybigapple:
Update: Went ahead and updated. Some new sound settings were unlocked and Dolby surround over optical is partially fixed. It works when watching tv, netflix, amazon, hulu. The peacock, and paramount apps, are still stereo. Also the tv still cannot pass through a 5.1 signal, only the built in apps.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BPerrydore:
Did you update via OTA or via USB?

If the second can you provide the post/link for it?

I also just got one (probably the same BB sale), I haven't connected it to the internet as I use a Shield, plus with other brands I've seen issues with intrusive ads.

Edit: OOB it came with V8-R51MT05-LF1V155.020020

Deleted info about the wrong firmware, glad I asked before trying to install it.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nybigapple:
No. Its a s546. That file you linked is for p638, p735 and c635. Search this thread for s546. It was posted in mid September and is v335 firmware. You need to download it and put it on a USB for manual update. TCL takes ages to push their firmware.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BPerrydore:
Thanks, looks like it's on page 84 from Sept. 9

Does this do anything to improve picture quality from the old OOB version of the firmware?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nybigapple:
I honestly couldn't say. Ive been using the roku still so I can have surround in everything. Nfl Football looks about the same imo, but I find the Ota picture great.

I lost product model and serial number on product information page after update my C728 to Google TV!! Did anyone experience this ?

How to get it back ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] magic378:
Call the service center ..NOT HERE?!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ruknani2:
I know when to call service center and NOT HERE. If you may have read, I asked users if they have experienced or noticed it and this is pretty much relevant question on relevent forum cause this happened after updating from ATV to GTV.

Let someone answer :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Eslam__Samy:
Hi @stasiof , could you please check:

Do I need to update my software? Is it too old?

And where is the latest software, for this model?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Sage:
Just got my 75c825. Thank you! From what I'm reading you can flash the c835 on the c825? If that right?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Sage:
Just been reading a lot chat in this thread it seems v496 for the c825 is the breast so far? Would the be right?

Hello everyone,

I just completed the update on my (originally) OEM TCL R851T02 and I now have extremely muffled audio. By muffled, it sounds like someone in another room is listening to the TV really loud. So you can sort of hear it, but can't really make out what is being said. Or, like someone is talking through a pillow or something.

I am guessing there was an update that I should have performed prior to the latest update.img from November. None of the settings I have switched has given me clear audio. Sadly, I did not take note of the original firmware version, but I was previously on Android TV 9 and half of my apps were not working so I was trying to get to Google TV 11.

Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated as I use this TV every day.

EDIT: Upon some further review, it looks like I have an S434 and Android 11 is not available even in beta? Does anyone have ideas of which firmware I should download to get back to a working Android 9 TV?

Cheers,

Mark

2) since on the GTV there isn't PLAY STORE (or until now haven't found now how to opent it ) I can say "play store"

Hi,

My TV is connected to the WiFi network.

I use the static IP parameter

I change the DNS Google by those of Quad9 (9.9.9.11 and 149.112.112.11)

It seems that there is a problem with the safeguarding of new DNS.

I do not have the impression that the DNS values are saved.

I open a shell console to search for the resolv.conf file and make a log in the direction of a USB stick to analyze it on my PC.

I find six files in the log

/data/vendor/etc/resolv.conf
/system/etc/resolv.conf
/mnt/vendor/tmp/resolv.conf
/mnt/vendor/linux_rootfs/etc/ppp/resolv.conf
/mnt/vendor/linux_rootfs/etc/resolv.conf
/vendor/tvconfig/config/resolv.conf

I look at the contents of the files

C05:/ # more /data/vendor/etc/resolv.conf; echo
nameserver 8.8.8.8
C05:/ # more /system/etc/resolv.conf; echo
nameserver 8.8.8.8
C05:/ # more /mnt/vendor/tmp/resolv.conf; echo

C05:/ # more /mnt/vendor/linux_rootfs/etc/ppp/resolv.conf; echo

C05:/ # more /mnt/vendor/linux_rootfs/etc/resolv.conf; echo

C05:/ # more /vendor/tvconfig/config/resolv.conf; echo
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain mstarsemi.com.tw
search mstarsemi.com.tw
nameserver 172.16.64.81
nameserver 172.16.64.58

But where are DNS registered?

I do not find the two DNS of Googles 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 nor those of Quad9.

Can we tell me the file to check please or is it an anomaly?

Could you try and use a dhcp reservation on your router for the TV with defined DNS servers instead?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] DidierXDA:
Hi,

Never possibility on modem/routeur, so i'snt the problem.

The problem is on device android tv TCL.

I have different device under Linux and it is very easy to find the configuration file containing the DNS settings.

I cannot understand that it is not possible to check it.

The graphical interface always returns the Google DNS.

There is clearly an anomaly
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Sage:
you misunderstood, i was suggesting use your router to push the config rather than configuring the TV. If the TV has an anomaly you might be able to get around it by using your router to push the DNS settings instead.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] DidierXDA:
I understood your sugestion very well.

But as I said, it is not possible.

The router of my Internet supplier does not allow the modification of DNS parameters.
