Through eARC it passes to my soundbar dolby atmos and dts HD, that's what i am seeing enabled at my soundbar when i watch a movie that supports it . Through the pc i don't have anything that supports dolby atmos nor the video players support this format so i can't test it.

Thanks stasiof for this new firmware;

I've installed the v519 on my c635, and now the HDMI-CEC is way more damaged than before; now everytime I'm trying to play DD5.1/Atmos sound on my Samsung HW Q930b soundbar, the TV only send STEREO PCM signal, even if 'Passthrough' and 'ARC' are selected on the Sound option menu; 5.1 and Atmos worked great before (I was on firmware 418 or something close I think) ;

Question about this R213 : is this a 'legit' TCL release, or a 'cooked' rom by a non-TCL employee? Is there any chance that HDMI-CEC can work correctly with this update? And most important, if I choose to install R213, can you rollback to a previous firmware? Thank you.

Hi, I have a 75c635 (v519) it is connected to my Denon 4700X amp.

I primarily use a Pi4 with libreelec connected to my server to watch movies and a VU DUO² for freeveiw.

Sound output volume is great when using an external source (amp volume set at 40%) yet wherever I watch anything that originates from the TV (eg prime, netflix etc) the volume is very low and I need to turn the Denon upto approx 55% to get the same volume if that makes sense.

I am using eARC and everything is set to pass-through.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] garethk1979:
Thats because streaming services etc only deliver a compressed (processed) version of the audio to save bandwidth. Watching local content such as HEVC or REMUX movies etc you can usually get a lossless version of the "same" audio which is uncompressed and full quality.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Aki2022:
i also wanted know the project ID for 55P735
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] martysport:
Compression has nothing to do with the volume, even if I playback uncompressed media from the TV ( Plex, Kodi even the TVs own media player) it's still quiet. It's like the digital audio output from the TV needs a boost.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] garethk1979:
OK well theres nothing wrong with my tv and i notice a difference in volume depending on the quality of audio source so yeah

I have a really strange issue with this TV. It's connected to my home theatre system via HDMI on the earc hdmi. 99.9% of the time it only passes pcm2.0 sound output no matter what the source is. Very randomly it will pass the full 5.1 output but once I switch the TV off and on, we're back to 2.0.

I've tried different hdmi leads, tweaked all the sound settings (CEC on, digital out set to pass through etc) but cannot get 5.1 consistently

Anyone else have these issues of know a fix?

Tried a full factory reset, latest firmware (503) but no joy
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lapist:
You should also mention which TV you have :-)

Did you try also disabling Quick Start?

I have TCL soundbar ts8111 connected to 55C635's HDMI3 (eArc) and it outputs audio mostly in correct format (Dolby Atmos or Dolby Digital), but often CEC or auto selection of output device doesn't work correctly (it sometimes sends audio to both internal speakers and soundbar, or there is no audio at all, or it outputs audio to soundbar correctly but fails to control volume via CEC, etc.) and disabling Quick Start improves that a bit...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] garethk1979:
It's also possible that you have a dodgy HDMI port on your AVR. Try pulling out all the HDMI cords from the tv and the AVR and then turn off everything at the wall. Then plug them all in leaving the HDMI to the tv until last and turn it on. Sometimes this can reset the edid handshake with the tv.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] simoran2:
Haha good shout! It's the c835. Tried disabling quick start but will deffo try reconnecting in that order.

How to get access to folder like Android/Data ??

How to launch apps on boot ???
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] oroboros74:
Newcomer here! I went through some of the thread, but I needed some confirmations from more expert users.

I have a TCL TV P639 and it shows me it has V8-R51MT05-LF1V483.020703.

1) If I understand correctly, I can use R51MT05 without a problem, and once I update it manually, I still would be able to use OTA in case, right?

2) I'm not losing any functionalities by doing so, right?

3) Also, what bloatware would you suggest to remove - I haven't been able to find a "safe to debloat" list.

4) Silly question - but how do I get Google Play Store to show up as a launchable icon? Right now I've been using voice assistant to "Open PlayStore"

5) Any other tips/tricks for TCL TVs?

Thanks in advance!
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] DarMaj:
Are these the latest versions?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] siegie65:
to 1: Yes R51MT05 is correct.

to 2: There are two types of firmware: IMG (full firmware, installed with reset of all data and settings) and OTA (update is installed without data loss and with all settings saved).

to 3: You need the ADBTV app for this.

look at this https://adbappcontrol.com/ru/tv/

V8-T615T03-LF1V438.000296

TV + OS version : V5.2.0(V8-2204280-MF1V520)

I was waiting some OTA update but nothing since the installation in December, some youtubers said that TCL was working on it. Then i found the telegram & Xda posts with all this stuff of Fw to flash manually

can you help me, what his the latest version available, i am new in this forum, but i found

V503 and the BETA V999 test9

What do you advice ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] jpenzo91:
Oh sorry i was sure that this version was IMG

then if it is an OTA we can try it

Did you try this version ?

Do i have the same TV as me ?

Hi Just bought a TCL 55" C635K

Changed the "quick start" to off, then i started having issue with the backlight in Dolby Vision movies. the backlight would change brightness before the scene change. For example dark scene to light scene. the backlight would increase just before the light scene.

Googling i found various posts about firmware bug and a temp way to solve the issue by turning "quick start" back on and power cycling the set. This solved it for me (well until a power cut)...

OTA update doesnt find any updates.

TCL support only want to send engineer out even though this is a firmware bug... And they said my firmware is the latest...

Is there any newer firmware out there

Welcome to the club, we all have that problem with Dolby Vision :) It seems that TCL is not capable fixing that in firmware, as there are not really any changes in recent updates.

Experiencing TV C835 Clouding and Flashlighting symptoms over dark scenes especially, Is totally annoying and irritating when you watch anything like a space documentary or movies anything that is set in dark scenery. Clouding and Flashlighting occurring like it starts to glow and dim on and off. The TV was bought less than a month since then TCL did not reply to my query. Even happened when you are on a setup page where the interface was dark background with a pop-up of options on a grey foreground. Does anyone have the same experience as I am?

Hi everyone,

I'm having a very specific issue when I play video games using my Smart TV TCL C635 at 2560x1440 120Hz in my PC with a RTX 3060 TI. When the camera is in motion, some parts of the image turn black and white, but return to normal when the camera stops. I'm using an HDMI cable version 1.4 , and the cable is 5 meters long.

I've already tried switching to a 2.0 HDMI cable that's only 2 meters long, but the problem persisted. I've also updated my graphics card drivers, checked my display settings, and tried different games to see if the issue persists.

I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into what might be causing this issue. I suspect it might be a bandwidth issue with the HDMI cable, but I'm not sure. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

I did . But in general, there were minor problems with the brightness and its change with the scenes or when switching between YouTube and the HDMI inputs. When the TV is completely turned off, the screen flickers irregularly. I think it's test versions that still need to be developed, and it's recommended for users to wait for the official versions via OTA only.

Thank you as usual for your updates

So i will flash my C835 today with V999 #10
