Good morning, I dare to tell you my experience with this problem despite being my first comment on the forum.

A week ago I bought my 55c635, everything impeccable until yesterday when I started watching movies in Dolby Vision and I found this problem of the brightness that changes only depending on the scene *V496 firmware, searching the internet in this same forum I found a solution to the I honestly had no hope and I must admit that the problem was solved or at least I stopped noticing that flashing change in brightness. This was happening to me with Prime video's Rings of Power series, Dolby Vision. The solution is to turn off the TV following some previous steps that were discussed in another thread on the forum, I leave the link.

https://xdaforums.com/t/tcl-c635-dolby-trouble.4482007/post-87843843

Now I updated by OTA (manually) to v559, I still couldn't test if I see Dolby Vision in this version well or not, but while I was in the previous version the problem was solved by turning off, unplugging, turning on etc...

Regarding the v559 version, I already see some changes compared to v496 that I liked a lot, for example the remote control sub menus, these now allow you to change the image mode, brightness, audio, etc. in a bar at the bottom of the screen. Much more neat and editable TV without stopping to see the content of the movie, it is easier to see the changes when we select different image modes, etc.

Sorry for the translation but I speak Spanish.

Compi, por casualidad a ti a la hora de ajustar la imagen (saturacion) te los ajusta tambien en el launcher, en plan iconos y demas? Y en las apps? Como la interfaz de youtube y tal? Pruebalo y me dices por favor, gracias!

How are you? I'm not sure if I understood 100% your question. When I make changes in the different image modes (hdr, dolby, or normal) it "respects" them in any application, be it youtube (hdr10+), netflix (hdr10 and dolby) and also in prime video, those are the ones I could try which, as I said, maintains the settings for each of the modes.

How to install it on a C635? I've put the img file in an empty FAT32 USB drive, but the TV does not recognize any update
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] drummer1839:
How to IMG upgrade

1. Format a USB Flash drive using FAT32.

2. Download the zip file containing the software for your TV to your computer.

3. Unzip/extract the software.

4. Copy the software file to the root catalogue of the USB flash drive.

5. Unplug the power cord to your TV.

6. Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the back of the TV.

7. Press and hold the power button on the TV, not the remote.

8. While holding the button on the TV, plugin the power cord of the TV again.

9. When the software install message appears on the TV, release the power button.

10. Do not unplug the power cord during the software install. When the initial setup screen appears on the TV the software install is completed.

This method will reset Android settings and installed apps.

G'day,

I bought a new TCL TV but can't find anywhere that says the actual model number in settings. I was wondering if anyone is able to tell me what model it is from the attached About page.

I won't say what the model that I was told it was because I want to know if it's possible to tell from the pic at all. And if it is possible to pin it down as 1 model + year, how do you decipher that out of the available information? I have a friend with a TCL who isn't sure what his model is too and I would like to be able to help him figure out so that he can set up his Xbox Series X for 4k120 if possible.

I noticed that virtually every other shot of the about page clearly states what year and model it is except for AU models, I would love to know why.

Thank you all very much
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Somehow AU and AP region not showing model version in setting.

However, model is on sticker at the back of TV.

Attached AP region (Russia), also no TV model.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Kuro Tenshi:
How bizarre, pretty used to it down here though lol. It was the 2021 in the Netflix version that threw me. My mate has his mounted on the wall and doesn't want to pull it down to look.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
No need to take down from wall mounted, just use mirror....hope is not mounted direct to wall... :D
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Kuro Tenshi:
Yea I told him to take a photo with his phone but he's lazy haha. But I found out I can see it using the service menu if all else fails.

I just want to know so he can set it up right for his Xbox Series X. Although I don't think it's as big an issue for him as it is me, I just upgraded to a Series X from the One S that I had only ever used on a 65' 2016 FHD Panasonic LCD.

Absolutely blew my mind haha. So glad I went with the 75C835 over the 65QN85B or Sony 75X90J. Still kinda sad that I couldn't get an 85" though, even though I know that it would be nearly useless for me as it's just in the bedroom so I'm only 7' away 🤣🤣🤣
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Yea, in service menu can see model....thx to remind me..... 👍

Hi, just got myself a shiny new 50" P735. However it does not have a physical Power Button or at least I cant find it ;-) I can see there is a new firmware for it on the link provided in this forum V494, but I can't do a local update; keeps saying that there is no update file in USB drive. File is definetly inside the root of USB :) as update.img and USB is formated in FAT32. Current Firmware is: V8-R51MT05-LF1V464. Any ideas what I am missing??
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] MotoXoom:
Hello,

Can't install on P735. File extracted to FAT32 USB stick as update.img in root of USB. Local update won't see the file ( no update file on USB device error), but filemanager does.

Currently TV is on Firmware: V8-R51MT05-LF1V464.

Any ideas??

Thank you :)

Thanks so much. Finally found that tiny Power Button underneath the TV at back of TCL logo :-) Didn't want to move TV so used my sense of touch until I finally found it.

Hello. Alright, can someone please explain this to me.

I'm noticing bad looking judder on my tcl c835 24fps videos. I’ve tried increasing the judder setting to about 2 or 3 which helps somewhat. however it adds articfacts and soap opera effect. Is motion interpolation the only way? ( 24 fps content) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Kuro Tenshi:
Oh ok, mine shows differently to that. Is there anyway to show more info than just that or is that as good as I'm going to get?

Haven't had the TV for a week yet and I have only hooked the Xbox Series X to it and played Fortnite.

Got the whole 4k@120 with all the bells and whistles no trouble, but when fortnight is set to run in 120fps the game is meant to change down to 1440p resolution but it still reads as 4K120, so not sure if the console is just forcing it to read as 4K and 120 FPS or if it's doubling the 60fps that the game says it's generating.

First good TV and Console with all the fancy stuff so still trying to figure it all out.

Appreciate the help and noob tolerance 😅

I take this opportunity to share the changes to Google TV after manually updating from version V8-R51MT05-LF1V496 (last update made by the TV alone) to V8-R51MT05-LF1V559 via OTA.

Undoubtedly the best change I've noticed so far is the way that the control's sub menus are displayed.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mikevirgil:
Guys, I gave up trying to get 4K x265 file playback to work properly on my 55c635 TV; I've tried pretty much all the latest firmware versions (even v560 and v996), and every time I try to play my "4K light" 2160p 10bit 4KLight HDR BluRay AC3 5.1 x265 files, all 20- 30 seconds I have stuttering. I tried using Media Player, VLC, MX Player, even Plex, same result. I tried to uninstall as many apps as possible on Google TV, without success. I also tried several media carriers (Ethernet NAS, USB stick, Wifi), also without success. I've come to the conclusion that the built-in Quad Core processor on my TV model just isn't powerful enough to handle this kind of file. I ended up using my Apple TV 4K 2nd gen, and all my issues are gone now.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] arborsb:
Two questions on c835. Ota 511 is installed. When connecting the PS5, it becomes possible to use the quick settings panel with brightness control, sound settings, game master, and so on. Is there any possibility to launch this panel from other modes, in a media player, netflix, etc?

Also i have some problems with image settings after using ps5. For example - turn off ps5, then launch media player, or any live streaming. All image enchantments are not working, including local dimming and memc. To make it work i must open image settings menu for a few seconds. After that they start working again till the next time i launch ps5 and turn it off later.

Have any idea, how to solve that?

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ala0x:
Knowing what I know now, I would go with Samsung, but it depends on your preferences. Just look at this thread. If you like to spend your time fixing issues that the vendor doesn't give a **** about (not in a bad way, some people like to tinker with stuff), might be fine.

Just remember that TCL quality control is really bad, and it's not uncommon to get something like this:

Hi guys,

Since Iam having problems with my TCL c735 tv again I would like to ask you for help.

My problem is when TV is connected to PC (gpu is 3060-ti) via hdmi 1 port (144 hz capable) the TV sometimes briefly looses signal (for 2-5 seconds) - it happens something like once in 20 minutes.

I have already changed like 4 expensive hdmi 2.1 cables in various lenghts - from 10 to 3m long.

Can someone guide me what to set and what to change in nvidia settings for the TV to stop having these issues?

my current settings:

4k, 120hz ( cant choose 144hz, its not listed)

- hdmi 2.1 on, vrr on, low latency on in TV settings,

- hdr on. G-sync on, preset colours in nvidia panel (all settings - 32bit, 8bpc, rgb and dynamic output - grayed out...

latest fw on GPU , latest automatic fw on TV

Please let me know if I have to change something in settings to be compatible with the c735 tv and the TV stops loosing signal.

thanks

Have you tried with another PC just to be sure the problem is the tv?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] jimmydix79:
Hello, unfortunatelly I dont have another PC/laptop with hdmi 2.1 capable output to test it. I also have xbox series X which works great with the TV.

Since I tested many hdmi 2.1 cables Iam quite sure the cable is not a problem (shortest cable I tested is 3m long...maybe I need even shorter cable ?) which narrows the issue down to GPU card settings or some fault in Hdmi slot or settings in TV maybe (.

For now Iam looking for optimal settings in nvidia panel of my GPU to be sure the c735 TV gets correct signal from my 3060-ti card. If there is someone who has nvidia card and uses this tv model could tell me what setting works for him/her?

I have a feeling I have some wrong setting in my nvidia panel or there is something else iam missing
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] romansavov:
I have PC with Nvidia GTX 1060 connected through hdmi 2.0 cable to 55C735. I don't have your problem with loosing signal. OS is Windows 10 with all updates. Geforce driver at default settings. TV firmware is OTA V562. Native resolution 2160p 60Hz. I achieve 120 Hz only with my PS5.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] jimmydix79:
Hello, yes thank you. My setup is little bit different since I use 2.1 cable from 3060-ti and Iam running it on 120Hz.

There must be something I overlooked deep in the nvidia settings. Could it be that I cannot run 4k 120Hz VRR, HDR together on 2.1 cable, or do I have to change RGB and 10bit to some other values?

Unfortunatelly I havent found any step by step guide how to finetune nvidia panel settings of my GPU to match optimal performance with this c735 model.

These few second PC-TV disconnections arent super big problem but It drives me crazy coz my nature is that I have to find solution to every issue :) . The TV itself should be ok since I dont have any problems when I connect it to the Xbox series X. Just PC connection does this

Hi, I'm sorry in advance. I have a 55C835 and I installed from the original version V8-T615T03-LF1V474 to V8-T615T03-LF1V562 . I couldn't turn on VRR on PS5 despite all the combinations + sometimes it happens that I have the O2 TV app on and after a while it returns to the TV menu . I like privacy. In order to install apps , I had to log in to google TV via my account , otherwise I couldn't install other apps ( in the base TCL without logging in to google tv I couldn't install other apps than the ones that were preinstalled ) . Then in androin settings I tried to enable all kinds of things and permissions , but not everything goes for app functionality and play store.

I would still like to try another version . According to {Mod edit: Telegram link removed, Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator.} the latest version for C835 is : V8-T615T03-LF1V511

According to https://mega.nz/folder/xJ8SGSIY#wpXV5mkbNXANY1qSZGQDyw there are more versions , some have a newer date , but a smaller number .

I don't understand the version labeling a bit . They are sequential example V511 > V558 > V562 but they also have different dates and I am already lost in which version is actually the latest but at the same time the most functional for my type .

When I wanted to install the V8-T615T03-LF1V511 version , when updating the system , an error occurred and the update did not complete . From what I read here, I have to do a downgrade . So I have to download and install version V8-T615T03-LF1V558 and only then downgrade again to V8-T615T03-LF1V511

V474 > V562 > V558 > V511 . Do I understand correctly ?

So I flashed v582 on my C935 - at the very least it's not worse. On v562 my TV started having erratic behaviour recently - previosuly turned off soundbar turning on "itself" (it's not itself though - it's the tv, otherwise the eARC input wouldn't be available), some hiccups, ATV+ crashed me the whole set to the point of pulling the plug - just like Kodi can...

So I'm glad this new version is out, even though apart from the DCC option, there's nothing new visible. Seems to be working fine so far.

It's my first and definitely last TCL tv - they have some nice panels, but the software/firmware department is laughably bad.

Assuming you're using the latest v562/v582 firmware - hold OK button until info screen appears, there's heart icon to mark favorites.

Depends what you mean by solved 🙂 Dolby Vision should regulate backlight according to the scene, but it is now always on full backlight, which makes black areas look gray and white color too bright, especially when watching at night..

TCL should allow disabling Dolby Vision when they are unable to implement it properly...
