    Philips 50PUK6400 Android TV Randomly Restarts. Anyone knows about this issue?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2021 04:43 AM PST

    I bought a used Philips 50PUK6400 Android TV. This device randomly restarts. Sometimes it works for hours sometimes it reboots every 5 minutes.

    Anyone knows about this issue and how to solve it?

    I found a website from philips stating it happens due to unstable internet connection mostly with straming apps but lately it happens even whilst I'm just in the main menu. Any help, shared experience or comment (besides 'have you tried a factory reset') is very much appreciated.

    What I would also like to find out is how to enter recovery mode.

    Disney+ Hotstar 4K and Dolby Vision Issues

    Disney+ Hotstar 4K and Dolby Vision Issues

    From the time Disney+ Hotstar has introduced 4K and DV for Android TV in India, I've always experienced that those particular titles never actually play in the 4K/DV till some time period. Even when it eventually does after some days, the playback suffers. Finally, after a week or so, they tend to play fine.
    For example, the recently released Wanda Vision though says DV, doesn't play in DV.
    I want to know if this experience is specific to the OnePlus TVs or is faced by other Android TV Users too.

    PS: The present APK version is 4.1.7.

    2 days old Sony X75H can't open apps

    Posted: 17 Jan 2021 06:51 AM PST

    So, my LG UHD 770T died and I replaced that with Sony X75H, its been two days since the TV was delivered and these two days are of extreme frustration.

    First thing on day one there was issue with casting screen, had to reset the device. On day two all but preinstalled apps were working. Rest everything ie Hotstar, ZEE5, Sony Liv etc just didn't work, reset it again.

    Now, on third day some apps are working extremely slow and some dosent work at all. Feels like I had just flushed 60k down the drain. It's been nothing but frustration from past 2 days and Sony support people are not helpful in India.

    FYI: WiFi network speed on testing in TV is showing 125 Mbps. So, not an network issue.

    What file explorer app will let me sideload apps to my Shield from my phone with the apk file?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 09:25 PM PST

    ES File Explorer used to do this and I loved it! Install ES File Explorer on both my phone and nVidia Shield, then easily remotely sideload apps with apk files from my phone/tablet.

    Of course it's a PITA now that ES File Explorer isn't readily available on the Play Store, so I've tried a couple other popular file explorers, but I haven't found one with that feature.

    I honestly don't care if it's a file explorer app or not... I just want that particular feature. If I have to pay for a premium version, that's fine by me.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Any idea why 4K HDR movies works fine with Kodi but 4K HDR tv shows don't? [Mi Box]

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 03:47 PM PST

    For example I watched plenty of 4K HDR like those:

    • Tenet.2020.IMAX.2160p.UHD.BluRay.x265.10bit.HDR.DTS-HD.MA.5.1-SWTYBLZ

    • Avengers.Endgame.2019.2160p.UHD.BluRay.X265.10bit.HDR.TrueHD.7.1.Atmos-TERMiNAL

    • Joker.2019.2160p.UHD.BluRay.X265.10bit.HDR.TrueHD.7.1.Atmos-AAAUHD

    Whice worked great with HDR displayed, but TV shows that I've tried to watch, the color of them looked faded away whice is the case when HDR content won't work properly. Examples:

    • WandaVision.S01E01.2160p.DSNP.WEBRip.x265.10bit.HDR.DDP5.1.Atmos-CM

    • Stranger.Things.S03.2160p.NF.WEBRip.x265.10bit.HDR.DDP5.1-HDRISTRASH

    I'm on a Mi Box (1 version before the release of Mi Box S), and always used the most stable Kodi version.

    Thank you

    Best streaming app?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 06:29 PM PST

    I have an android Tv and some of the videos I've been trying to cast, don't work. So I'm looking for a streaming app and I came across ZiniTevi and cucotv but I'm not sure. Anyone use any apps that are similar to those for streaming?

    There is no sound coming from my family’s Sony X 80h TV.

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 01:38 PM PST

    We've tried fixing it and nothing is working. Only Hulu and Amazon are the apps not producing sound, but if we were to turn on the PS4 both Hulu and Amazon work. It happened after an update but I'm not entirely sure. I was asked to post this for my dad and this was all he told me. Sorry if it's a little short on detail. How do we fix this? If you think you know but need more detail, please let me know and I'll ask him.

    Android TV HDMI and resolution issue

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 01:34 PM PST

    good day guys

    i have a JVC LT-58KD507 android TV that i cant seem to find anywhere on the internet , no website no manuals no info

    inside the settings it isnt labelled as a JVC but ATV AI PONT
    that's the 1st on the list of confusions with this tv
    (i read a post here on this subreddit that says AIpont makes for other brands so i get that part )

    however the Box says its a 4k HDR tv capable of Dolby vision and audio
    which it does have and its very capable from the OS side

    however when it comes on to the HDMI ports i have alot of issues

    1st issue - if i have 3 devices plugged in , only one post will show as 4k, to get it to work with the other
    port i have to reboot the whole TV

    2nd Issue - TV randomly reboots itself if the devices dont seem to agree with the resolution changes

    3rd issue - there is alot of image ghosting or picture latency on HDMI and its really obvious on darker
    vides and games , when I'm watching Netflix on the OS its fine but once its HDMI it really
    has degraded picture quality

    what i want to know is am i stuck with this as is or is there a way to change this firmware or OS or any recommendation at all so it can perform better , any suggestions will help

    oh yeah the accessibility menu on it doesn't work either

    thanks in advance

    Just starting using the new version.

    Does anyone else get a black screen while watching videos for about 1 second? Seems like when it happens it's blocking an Ad.

    This never happened on the old version.

    Chromecast and Android TV users, tell me about your experience

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 10:28 AM PST

    So, I'm very new at this. I have mostly lived off netflix all my life. I do have amazon prime for free deliveries but hardly ever use it to watch on my tv as my tv doesn't have prime button. So I got a chromecast a year ago. I started using prime and youtube and netflix on it. When the pandemic hit, my friends shared links of other shows that are not on these platforms and thank god for chromecast i cast it from my computer.

    But now my chromecast isn't casting anymore. In fact it's almost like it's dead coz my computer can't find it. So i'm researching to either get a new chromecast or an android tv or those Nvidia tv things. Please help, what would be a good option for someone like me.

    (My mom had has an android tv that is a trainwreck, it can't play anything after a few months, it got slow slowly now to nothing, so I'm always worried if I get an android box it'll be done in a few months)

    My budget is like $70 bucks. I might trade in this old chromecast as well.

    (Sorry for the noob question)

    Android TV YouTube low quality

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 09:42 AM PST

    Hello guys! I've recently bought a smart TV that has Android TV! It's a Tesla 43S605BFS . The problem is that the youtube app lowers the quality. I have noticed that I can watch videos on my PC at 1080p but when i watch the video on my TV, the max quality i can select is 720p. The same goes with 4k videos. If a video is originally 4k, on my TV i can only go to 1080p. It lower the quality by 1 unit.

    Does anyone have the same problem? It's my TV that is at fault? Is there a way i can solve this or is this a google problem? Thank you
