Update:

I downloaded the image that stasiof provided (thanks again) and I was determined to go with v191 at my 50P815. On the zip file it contained the instructions on how to reimage your TV and at the end had the following instructions

Press the Settings button (cog icon) in the remote control:
Press OK on the icon: Picture.
Then go to the line Advanced settings.
Scroll down to the line: Brightness settings.
Scroll down to the line: Contrast.
With the remote control, do the key sequence: 6 4 2 5
The special menu appears.
Go to the line “Reset All” and press OK.
Go to the line “Reset Shop” and press OK.
Now unplug the main power cord.
Wait for ~2 minutes.
Plug back the main power cord and perform complete installation.

So before I reimaged the TV

Disconnected the soundbar from the TV

Disconnected the TV box

I executed these steps the steps above.

Configured my google account on TV

Set audio output to passthrough

Enabled CEC on the TV

Connected soundbar and TV box on the TV

And voila. All audio problems solved. At least for now. I will report again if I get any issues.

Other TV functionalities operate as expected, I don't see any issues (Dolby Vision, Dolby atmos work - even the application that I had audio issues before works now as it did before the upgrade).

My conclusion so far V8-R51MT02-LF1V325.020654 work on 50P815 as Runaque has already confirmed. BUT do spend the time required to reset the TV after an upgrade, especially OTA upgrade. It sucks that you need to do redo all your settings but this beats all the time you might need to spend troubleshooting some weird behaviors. stasiof recommended reset already when I first posted that I got issues and I should have listened :D

55c725 GTV V501 handfree voice assistance not work. How I fix it. thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Small matter.

However V501 is deducated for 2022 models, so be happy with small issue (if).

Update all Google apps....
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mariosbbs:
Anyway here seem to work.. if you mean the "vocal commands".

Must say that I hate to use features like this,

so haven't used much more than a few times. Only noticed that this feature is very slow to react after a full reboot and after some time it's still not fast but become usable.

p.s. I hope that in some future update Rakuten app can be disabled (at least !). Actually the "disable" function is present in the app properties menu, but become enable again after every reboot.. for me Rakuten is like e VIRUS :ROFLMAO:
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] magic378:

so v496 should be the GTV "end of the line" for people who bought a C725 during 2021?

what about ATV? are 309 and 325 designed for specific model-year combos?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
All depend of your TV project ID and deducated firmware (auto update) for that.

However ,you can install any firmware ATV or GTV, with more or less compatibility.

Is many times posted in the past.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] magic378:
No man... 496 have same issue with google voice command not work?! So you better shut up since stasio job is only share new update for free..so NO complain to him..he's NOT an dev / part of dev team.

I hope u satisfied with that answer,..

C725 stuck on V418 MAX?!!

Good morning, evening, or afternoon! I have the R646 (North American version) and I went into the service menu and just looked around for a bit and then exited. Now, my color temperature adjustment doesn't work at all, and the inputs on the TV don't look anywhere near as good as a native Google TV app (not as saturated/contrasty, etc.) I've done an NVM Reset and Shop Reset and I updated the firmware to V8-T615T02-LF1V159.000244. After that, I did another NVM Reset and Shop Reset with the same issues occurring. Can anyone give me any tips as to how I can resolve these issues or let me know what you did when you had these issues. Thank you so much!

Today i updated my 65C728 and the IMAX picture mode is gone from the menu, and i really liked the mode for watching 4k blurays and gaming. is this a bug? or have they removed this feature? how can i downgrade ? I tried to put OTA v091 on usb and run update by unpluging and holding power button, but the loding bar gets to 25% ant than says "error" and shuts down. And if i do it trough the tv menu "local update" it says the version is old.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Look for V083 IMG file.....for downgrade.

OTA file only update.....
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ivpan:
thank you. will try that asap

*atachment- is this the right file?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Yes...

need to unzip and "update.img" copy to USB.......TV Off....press and hold TV power button....

After you can update with V091 OTA.....local update in setting....
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ivpan:
Thank you so much. It has worked, you are a lifesaver !! i dont know if its worth updating to v091 ota, i think ill just keep the v083.

also i would really like to know why and if the IMAX picture mode has really been removed from the last update, it makes no sense to me. usualy updates bring better features to electronics

Hi. I updated my 65C825 to Google TV. Now I have a problem that after approx. half a day the TV will not connect to internet anymore. It connects fine to my network with Ethernet and Wifi but it refuses to connect to internet. Any idea why this happens? I tried to install other images as well. Still same results. Anyone know if there are any solutions to solve this issue? I will go back to Android TV and see if it works better. Had no issue before I updated to Google TV.

Thanks!

3 yes both

I Have a problem with TCL 55C725 (latest ota fw)

when i watch Dolby Vision movie (mkv ,Vimu player,not hdmi), the screen brightness is always changing(like local dimming) when i see new scene in movie but i switched off every auto setting and switched off every enhancement in tv menu and i turned off DBC in service menu but this problem still have...

(i try factory reset, but cant help)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Bobnemouk:
I think that's just how Dolby Vision works - it contains metadata that can specify the brightness for each scene.

It's why the brightness control setting isn't available for the Dolby Vision presets - you only choose between Bright and Dark.

I found it very noticeable on some Netflix titles, with the brightness change sometimes slightly out-of-sync with the picture, but haven't noticed that problem when watching Apple TV+ (On a P725K)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] astron1985:
ok but this problem is when i watching Batman 2022 DV
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Valneo:
Hello everyone,

I've been trying to fix one issue that I have with my TCL 43P725, which was originally on ATV and that I switched to the latest GTV version currently available (V501). Please note that this issue was already present on ATV.

To put it shortly, I suddenly lost the ability to play DD/5.1 content through my soundbar. Everything was working fine and I guess after an ATV OTA it broke. Netflix/Amazon PRIME still show the 5.1 badge but the content is streamed as regular PCM. TV is set to passthrough.

I even bought a new HDMI cable, with no success. I know this problem has already been discussed but no one seems to have found any solution. Does anyone has any tips to fix this ?

Thanks,

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Bobnemouk:
I have a lot of trouble with Audio Return Channel on my P725K (UK version with ATV 9 V143).

Don't know if these will work for your software version/soundbar, but I manage to get it working by either:

Turn on soundbar/AV Receiver before TV

With TV audio output set to Auto, start content playback

Switch audio input on soundbar/AVR to a different source (I use one with nothing connected), then back to TV input

Hopefully should now be getting 5.1 (strangely shows as Dolby Digital+ for everything)

or

Turn on soundbar/AVR after TV

Turn T-LINK off then on again

Turn eARC off then on again

Switch TV audio output from Auto to Passthrough or vice versa (doesn't seem to matter which way)

Should now correctly output audio as Dolby Digital or PCM depending on source

On a related note, has anyone get ARC Auto lip-sync working on their soundbar/AVR? And if so, what delay does it send?

My old TV automatically sent a delay to the AVR, but the TCL doesn't and have to manually set it.

(Using HDMI 1.4 ARC rather than eARC)

Greetings! Been scouring google and forums but wasn't able to find a corresponding match for my TCL P727,

2. Which firmware is the most stable currently? Is it the latest ATV-V325 and GTV-V501?

Hi everyone. A few days ago I purchased a 50P735 and I have the following issue.

When I turn off the TV sometimes the stand by led switches off and then there is no way to turn the TV on again from the remote or TV's physical button. I always have to unplug it in order to turn on. I have switched off any energy savings and and I have enabled fast turn on. I have already made a factory reset but nothing changed. Is is a faulty TV or is there anything else I can do.

Have been updated to V477 automatically when first switched on.

Not really sure what these updates do to be honest, have seen no changelogs.

Reading this forum one could go all the way up to V501 but you end up with Google TV :D
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] TheDonny2014:
Update

I've recently manually updated to the IMG V501 on my TCL 50P725A tv. So far no real issues. In fact, I now have the intellegent picture feature and the game picture mode now has motion settings. I guess I need to explore somemore to see what else is new

Just two things. First went I got inside some secret settings or whatever it's called, I noticed that preset is on DTV and not HDMI and I'm using this as a gaming monitor. SHould I change the preset? Second, I noticed that the game master feature inside system settings only works when you have an xbox or other controller attached and I'm using it as a gaming monitor as it's attached to my gaming pc. Is this accurate?

Any assistance would be great. Thanks for your time
