Hey guys. Today I updated my TCL 835 to the FW V592 and noticed that the dolby vision option on Netflix no longer appears. In its place, HDR10 previously appeared in films/series that were broadcast in Dolby Vision. Does anyone know what could be happening? My Netflix plan is Ultra.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
First check with Dolby Vision video clip.....copy on USB.

After , you can clear cache (data) in Netflix.

Also, reinstall Netflix and/or Reset All and Reset shop maybe also help.

latest Netflix....10.1.1_build_18330
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Alepisci:
Thanks, Stasiof!

EDITED: 22/10/2023

Edited: 10/22/23. Good night people. The problem with Netflix no longer showing Dolby vision is only here in Brazil. I just watched a big YouTube channel called "Connected World" in which they report the problem. They said it could be a bug in the app in Brazil. I hope so, as the monthly fee for our Premium subscription is quite high. 😏

On c735 with the 592 update the "Hey google turn on the TV" command finally works and opens the TV!

I used to only be able to turn off the tv before

If anybody get V576 (R51MT05) update,

please post TV project ID and previous firmware.

Spotted in EU region (Poland) for 2022 models.....
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] spl_decibel:
Wow, V576 Version? There is not this update on Telegram channel. This is a very new Firmware! It's strange that the update is offered first via OTA
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Because is released (slowly,slowly) for 2022 models.

So far 3 users only...2 from Poland and 1 from Russia.

But, nobody post PID of TV....:(
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] spl_decibel:
i have R51MT05 model, but in italy there is no update. I just searched now.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Is for 2022 TV models....C735 (43&50"), C635, P735...

R51MT05 is not model...is firmware platform (R51M).

TV must be at least on V556 (and above) firmware.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] spl_decibel:
yes i know, i have model P635 (2022) with firmware version V8-R51MT05-LF1V573, but as I already said, there is no update in Italy for my model
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
According to TCL default firmware versions, take note that EU xxP635 model (R51MT05) is limited to V48x firmwares.

So, don't expect any update with V5xx.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] 001248/776:
They must be totally retarded in TCL to post such dumb restrictions on these updates 🤦🏻‍♂️

How can I enter on service/hidden menu in C635?

I've searched for this but all I could find was people talking about pressing some numbers on Remote Control. There's no number in mine.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] issam@isl:
I had the same problem previously. You can use any USB remote (or air mouse remote) with numbers. Mine is working great for all service menus.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Every remote has virtual key button.....
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] rodrigoxm49:
Thanks!

By luck, I figured out that original remote control have virtual numbers on it.

Now i'm trying to use 1440p@120Hz mode in my PC. Until now nothing. Only 60Hz.

While i'm still - very - impressed with IQ and black level on this TV, input lag is noticeable. Specially compared to my Gigabyte M27F monitor. Good thing that is very unlikely to play in this TV.

EDIT

In this meanwhile I could force 1440p@120Hz through CRU. But no DLG mode and still no idea how to turn on TCL Gamemaster on PC mode. It just doesn't work. I can't turn it on :/. Old HDMI cable maybe? Is there a way to know if HDMI 2.1 is being used?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] spl_decibel:
I see now that this version is in Telegram Channel also
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] issam@isl:
I updated my TCL 65C635 with this firmware, downloaded from Telegram. The old one was V573. Didn't notice any change. Is there release notes for TCL firmware?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] pres1o:
try going to inputs and setting the HDMI input you are using as Game Console

I think the only way to check if the cable is 2.1 is too look for a label on it?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] pres1o:
anyone who uses c735 with VRR, do you guys get the ugly inverse ghosting? I have VRR off because its pretty much unusable

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] PHDY:
Hello everyone.

Yesterday I installed the V8-R51MT05-LF1V576.021120 OTA version on my 55C635.

When playing Dolby Vision content with my Apple TV 4K (A1842) connected directly via HDMI/ARC, the TV does not switch correctly between the corresponding video modes and the image appears black, sometimes the TV also does not respond and it is necessary to turn it off and disconnect it physically.

I have tried HDMI/ARC and also the rest of the HDMI ports and exactly the same thing happens.

I have tested it with three different HDMI cables.

If I downgrade to factory version V477 this does not happen.

Otherwise without any difference with the V573 version.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] leo06:
I play non dolby vision content in infuse after I watch a dolby vision content to bypass this. The screen goes black with the dolby vision banner pop up at the upper left corner, right?

With previous firmware that problem was only on YouTube but now also affects Netflix.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] PHDY:
Correct the screen goes black with the dolby vision banner pop up at the upper left corner. This problem has appeared with the following versions that I have tested: V516, V523, V559, V573 and V576. With previous versions this problem does not happen.

I don't have the Infuse App. Once I play DV content, the TV is only capable of playing HDR content. So I have to turn off the TV completely and restart it.

No fps in game ??

my tcl c835 just updated to v8-t615T03-LF1V590.000829 even tho i turned auto update off but now it has new game master and no fps overlay like before does anybody know how to turn it on ? Like before you can turn it on and its on the right screen on top where it's show fps and time and now nothing why
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] RendCycle:
Hi there! I have the TCL 55C735 with Software Version: V8-T615T03-LF1V503.000493 and Client Type: TCL-LA-MT9615-S1.

I tried searching on how to turn on Game Master mode for PC. But I couldn't find it. It looks like that feature is only for Video Game Console (i.e. Playstation, Xbox, etc). Can anybody confirm?

Also, does anybody know how to test the claimed 144 VRR? I can only reach 120Hz at 4K resolution using a legit HDMI.org certified Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Belkin Cable. The TV display also does black out / disconnect from time-to-time when the PC is connected to HDMI Port 1.

Any useful link with more info/answer is appreciated. Thank you! :-)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] RendCycle:
I also can't turn on Game Master mode under Systems using a PC with an RTX 3070 Ti Graphics Card. It looks like that feature is only for Video Game Consoles? Anyhow, one way to check if the HDMI cable you are buying is version 2.1 and meets the standard specs is to look for a scannable HDMI.org Certification Sticker QR Code on the packaging. I had to also download and use their official Android app to scan the QR Code. But even then, I still can't enable Game Master mode and don't know of a way to test the claimed 144 VRR of the TV.

Just a guess: Maybe the Fixed Rate Link (FRL) version of the HDMI 2.1 hardware of the TV is less than version 4 and since the TV has no Display Stream Compression (DSC) feature, it is impossible for it to reach 144Hz Refresh Rate.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] leo06:
Another workaround is to disable the dynamic range match from the Apple TV settings.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shogo9:
I have a TCL C935, earlier with some old firmware like 47x something i think (mid 2022), and i have upgraded to V592 and i now have problem with no audio, my tv is also set on fast boot, and to get audio back i have go in to audio settings and choose som other output than ARC (soundbar) and then back again, then i get audio back, this happens a lot now, and not ever before, is there a way to downgrade firmware, nothing got better for me with this newer version.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] rodrigoxm49:
Any chance to force ALLM and DLG?

I'm trying to play using Moonlight (it's like Steam Link, but far superior), but the input lag is HUGE. Very different from the experience that I have on my Samsung S20FE and laptops using the same network.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Can downgrade with V503 IMG file.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shogo9:
It was not possible to downgrade, it says the file is not the latest (or something like it), so i think that i need to do a factory reset first, and then upgrade to V503

Hello there,

I wonder what happens the channel numbers when we deleted it. For example, i deleted channel number 5 which is fx hd then the list goes like that 1,2,3,4,6.. when i try to change another channel number to 5. It says there is already channel with number 5 however there is not. How can i solve that? The tv is c635 btw.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mckennascole:
I have a new r51mt05 and according to my very short experience there are functional differences according to selected country, not only according to T05, etc. For instance I had double band wifi capability, i.e. 2.4G and 5G, with the original European country setup. I did a factory reset and changed it to United Kingdom in order to have access to iplayer/uktv apps, etc. and now it's only 2.4G.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] mckennascole:
Hi, I have a r51mt05 and just finished OTA upgrade from v508 to v576. Did reset all and reset shop.

1. Going up and down through the settings was very smooth buy now there is a small latency now.

2. I liked the new input menu but the little "Input" info box that appears briefly on the upper right displays "9XXXX" instead of HDMI1 when I switch to my PC. It used to display 3 rows, the name of the input port, name of the connection if you renamed it and screen resolution. Now the first one is 9xxxx in bold.

3. Google account logs out by itself with "account action needed" warning. There is no email or warning from google which means its on the device.

Is there anything you can recommend to these current problems?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Letrinosi1:
Hello, I want to ask if there is any update for the Android OS itself in the TV (55C835). The last Android OS security updates are from the end of 2022, Android TV version 11. I updated to the latest version of tcl V582. Everything works fine, I just wondered if these TCL version updates are without android updates or are part of it for a possible newer version of android.

And I also wanted to ask how to install an application on the TV that is not in the Google store but is intended for Android TV. I would like to put an alternative YouTube app (without ads) there. When I put the file on a USB disk in fat32 format, I don't know where exactly to install the application from the system. Thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] garethk1979:
Use an app called send to tv. It's in the play store. Once you send the APK from your phone to the tv you can install it from the download folder using a file explorer. Or, you can get an app called downloader from the play store and download then install the app using that.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Letrinosi1:
thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Under666:
I use "easy fire tools" from play store. You can download the .apk on your phone and then install it directly on the Tv/box, etc.

Good evening. I would like to ask if the TCL P638 TV has HLG TV tuner support ? Does that mean you can watch 4K cable channels with HLG ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Yes, all 4.....HDR10, HLG, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision (+ Dolby Atmos).

P638 Series

TCL P638 Series combines 4K HDR , Dolby Vision, HDR10 and 60Hz Motion Clarity for detailed and smooth 4K HDR picture quality.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ionel00:
I would like to ask you if the TV (TCL P638) has the Romanian language during installation.

And does it somehow show "white circles" or horizontal or vertical lines over time ? I know it was like that with Samsung.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Firmware is global.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ionel00:
Is the TCL P635 or TCL P638 TV stuck by apps ? Does it lag when you go through the TV programs ? How many seconds does it take to turn on after pressing the power button ?

Does it have a VA panel ? If you look sideways at the TV, does it get lost from the viewing angle ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Serbinhio:
Did anyone find a way to make the AirPlay APKs work. I managed to extract 3 different APKs, the AirPlayAPK the daemon and the launcher. I tried flashing it in an older qled TCL TV with success (I lowered the required API in the launcher to work), and now I see the Airplay button on my sources menu, but when selecting it nothing happens. is there any other app needed?

Hello there,

I was planning to buy tv for some time. First time the pick was C725 then there is C735. What are the differences between those two than C735 is I suppose newer model. (talking about 50inch models)

I am mainly interested in gaming, so 4k 120hz is top priority for me, then there's watching tv.

I tried to find some reviews between those two tv's but no luck. Also TCL website is trash when it comes to compare option. Showing different features for each tv.

Greetings to all, I have a 43c635 TV that is currently with firmware v477. I have searched for updates through the tv but it tells me there are no updates. However, I have seen that several updates have already come out from v481 on June 28 to v496 on August 25. I would like to ask you the following questions which I hope you can answer.

1) Generally how long after their release are the updates available using the TV's update function?

2) Could I load via USB directly the v496 firmware thus going directly from v477 to v496 or do I have to load first the v481 then v482, then v488 and finally the v496 firmware?

3) Is updating the firmware a procedure that can break the TV if something goes wrong? And if so, are there any procedures to recover the TV that I can do?

4) I have an annoying audio video synchronization problem in streaming apps, do you think upgrading from v477 to v496 can solve this problem or alternatively how can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance to those who will help me.

Any way I can avoid this during initial setup?

Hi,

i just bought a 50C735 (updated to V496) to essentially play PC games.

I've got an RTX3090 + HDMI 2.1 certified cable but i can't manage to get 4k above 60Hz.

I use CRU to get 1080p@120Hz (144Hz = black screen).

TCL website : 2160P/120Hz 444 12bit, (2160P/144Hz 444 10bit)

Game Master mode only activate with my PS4 4k@60hz (don't have PS5 BTW) but can not be use with Nvidia hdmi output.

Any tips to get at least 4k@120Hz with this GPU?

I have the 25.09.2022 (V8-R51MT05-LF1V477) firmware for the 43C631X1 installed. I have following problems:

1. The color space "auto" causes to much pink on some german tv SD-Channels like "ntv" over satellite. On "native" everything seems fine, except the expected oversaturated colors.

2. The max. available Resolution on my PC is 1080p 60Hz in my intel control panel, not 4k, why?

3. Sometimes the gamma value changes when switching off/on via the remote control without the gamma value being shifted in the settings, but this can obviously be seen when an app such as prime video is open. Then I have to set the gamma value back to the initial value (0) and everything is as usual.

4. I wish i could turn off the 4k-Upscaling, because the text looks wavy in certain places.

=> Bad 4k-Upscaling-Algorithm

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Viniciusluftmallmann:
I have a TV TCL 65P735 with Android TV 11.

The TV is connected with a Philips Home Theater 5.1 (HTB5580) over HDMI and Optical SPDIF.

The problem is:

When the HDMI-CEC is turn on there is no 5.1 surround audio over HDMI ARC or SPDIF. Only Stereo.

When the HDMI-CEC is turn off the surround audio 5.1 works properly over SPDIF.

The HDMI-CEC when is turn on it works properly to control the Home Theater or another device connected over HDMI. The only problem is the audio that output only stereo.

I have tried everything on the configuration of the TV or the Home Theater and the answer is always the same. Audio 5.1 only work with HDMI-CEC disabled.

There is a way to fix this? I searched a lot on the internet about this issue but I don't found anything about this.
