Downgrade Philips PUS7303 to Nougat !? - Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV

2 Days ago I got the new Oreo update on my 43 inch PUS7303 but since that day I have got only issues and little to no useful features.
Common Interface sometimes doesn't authenticate, WiFi sometimes doesn't connect automatically, Channel changing now feels 1-2 seconds slower, Android keeps bringing back the All channels from my provider instead of my Favorites list of channels and the UI has more glitches and stutters than it had before.
The new homepage now has just a black background and stops TV channel playback in the background.
The idea of "channels" for Apps is good but when you press the Home button it takes 6-7 seconds to load the videos from the Apps because of the slow MediaTek Processor.
Is there anyway to downgrade to Nougat ?

HI,
you should consider a factory reset... however, some of your points are just "features" of Oreo - e.g. the background in HOME and that there is no sound in HOME...

I tried a Factory Reset, and even though it fixed the overall experience by some 10% I still don't like Oreo and would like to go back to nougat.
I see that you are from a website that I followed a tutorial to downgrade but failed, Could you help me?
Here is what I did on my 43PUS7303
I used the upgrade_loader.pkg of both of these Nougat versions: TPM171E_105.1.2.75_upgrade_loader and TPM171E_105.1.2.17_upgrade_loader. I tried 2-3 times.
I put the upgrade_loader file in the root of a USB and start the procedure by unplugging the TV from power and plugging it in again with the USB connected to the 2.0 port.
The procedure starts, TV shows the message Software upgrade in process and it lasts 5-10 minutes.
After it finishes, it boots back to Android Oreo.

i m also facing almost same issue with my Philips 65put6800 android tv. Last day my google play store crashed automatically(message: unfortunately the google play store services has been stopped) due to less storage space. then i had try to reinstall tv using settings tab from menu and it took almost 01 hr to switch on tv after so many reboot process. But it was jus useless and the result was zero .
I have the UPG file of the current running android version of my TV but when i m trying to install it using USB device the system it self showing as message that " the software i m trying to install is same or equivalent to the current software version ". There is no other updates are available for Philips till today.
I m really fed up and tried all methods to get in boot loader menu of my tv but i didn't get through.
Would you please help me to get inside the boot menu of my Philips android TV and to install the UPG file from usb.
Awaiting your reply.

Help with screen mirroring

MTC8-KLD6-V2.81
Rooted with Malaysk's latest ROM
For the past month or so, my phone (HTC M8) has flawlessly mirrored with my Head Unit. THEN came a Marshmallow update. Now my HU/phone mirroring is as follows;
1) Plug Phone into USB port.
a)bug icon shows on phone's top banner
2) Press Easy Connected on Head Unit
a) Four blue bars on HU light up as expected
b) Phone now asks if USB should be used for Screen Mirroring (can only press "Just Once", because "Always" is grayed out)
c) I have tried several different ways to deal with 2.b., but I get the same end result
3) Phone enters Drive Mode (I have also turned this off, but no different result)
4) Head Unit spins its wheels for a while, then claims to enter Screen Mirroring, but all I get is a blank screen with the "Home", "Back", "Exit" buttons on the bottom
a) Phone itself never shows on the Head Unit.
As an aside, I tried to use my phone on Chromecast last week. It look forever to play a single YouTube clip, and when I tried to play a different one, "play" and "pause" would work, but it never actually went to the next video. Pressing play on my phone would start the second video on my phone and also start the FIRST video on the tv.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I also have the same problem. I changed my Note3 on GalaxyS7 and said goodbye to ScrenMirroring I really do not like it. Autoradio should update to Android Lollipop and the problem would disappear. But if even our AndroidAutoradio live to see the renovation

Sadly, I already purchased a new phone. But thanks for the updated app, I'll hold onto it in case my new phone gets an update.
I was looking all over for this, thanks
My new phone updated to Marshmallow last night (against my wishes and despite my efforts to stop it). Now I'm back to not working.
I'll try that updated app, but I'm not holding my breath. All my searching has revealed threads where people have said that the apk will not update and I have not found a single example of someone with Marshmallow who has Screen Mirroring working.
I am pleased to report that the above update to EasyConnected worked and I am now able to mirror my phone (Marshmallow 6.0.1) once again.
I was ok with Marshmallow on my Nexus 6P but cant to mirroring not that I upgraded to Android Nougat 7.0
Hopefully someone like xterm305 will come along again and provide a link to an updated .apk.
In the meantime, try rebooting your head unit. That has worked for me in the past when my phone wouldn't mirror (but, that was not when it updated).
Malaysk has a link to this thread that might help, DanB0Y. Please let us know.

I think you need to remove an .apk from your phone and then connect it to your stereo again though the usb.

bluetooth won't connect (not your typical won't connect)

I purchased a sont smartwatch 3 about a month ago and when I first got it and charged it up, it paired right away to my phone. Over the course of a few weeks I would notice there would be times when it would not connect to my phone. Turning bluetooth off and back on would fix this. I got tired of doing that so I unpaired the watch and deleted all android wear from my phone to start fresh. The watch would not connect. I have now been trying for a few weeks to get it working again. I'll list everything I have tried below ( not in order but as I think of them).Hoping for a new idea on this I haven't found:
- clear play services and play services framework cache
- in adb shell :adb shell am start -a android.bluetooth.adapter.action.REQUEST_ENABLE
- factory reset on watch
- forget all bluetooth devices on phone
- rooted watch and tried 6.0.1 rom
- hold power button till watch restarts 3 times
- locked and unlocked bootloader
- xperia connect software repair
Is there a bluetooth testing method anyone is aware of or a way to check my bluetooth integrity ? Maybe flash a bluetooth module ?
wich phone ? I have BT issue with my xperia Z5C : SW2, SW3, Zenwatch2....
non rooted nexus 5
It's working ! This makes no sense how though. I let the watch sit for days after my last attempt to pair it. Used Sony companion to return it to stock. Today I decided to try again. It was dead and had been for a week or so. I connected it to my computer via usb and I turned it on after letting it charge for about 5 mins. On my laptop I decided to check what bluetooth devices my computer could see. My smartwacth shows up in this list. I wish there was a camera on my face, it would've been priceless. I grab my phone and reinstall android wear. It finally shows in the app. I have been trying to fix this for weeks now and it just randomly works now. Maybe this may give something new steps to try for those that run into this issue.

I dont think the fault lies with the watch and phone but more so with Google play services as this is needed to run and connect android wear as far as I know. Try uninstalling play services and reinstalling on the phone. If that doesnt help then try resetting the watch in pc companion. If this doesbt help then im unsure but I could only blame gplay services as all my android wear issues have been with this such as apps like watchmaker deleting itself off the watch after rebooting my phone (xperia Z2 rooted custom rom). I even tried factory resetting both but the issue still persisted so I gave up with it and decided to manually resync apps after every reboot.
You can try resetting your devices but I cant garentee this will solve your issues.

RJASSI21 Many thanks! i clear the google play services data and now all is working fine.
Thanks!
I have this problem occasionally with my LG G4. It works fine then all of a sudden it won't connect to the phone. Shows up in Bluetooth devices, but not in Android wear. Only way I find to sort the problem out is to unpair the watch from the phone which then activates a factory reset. Once done all is good again........well for a few weeks or so.
I let the clock DIE (battery) and then work for 2 weeks, now the same problem.

Smartisan Nut Pro in Europe

Just a quick note to say to anyone thinking of buying the Nut Pro to use in Europe: It definitely works in the UK. I am on the PlusNet (EE) network, living in the UK and the 'phone works very well. I am getting 4G (when available) and had no problems getting the phone to register on the network, just put the SIM in, switched on and was connected straight away.
Almost everything on the 'phone appears to work correctly. The weather app looks lovely but struggles to locate me (it thinks I'm in a city 60+ miles away) but I can live with that. Many of the apps I transferred from my old 'phone that were then installed from the Smartisan app store didn't work correctly so I ended up deleting them and re-installing them from the Google Play Store which was very easy to install. They then worked without problems. The Smartisan browser has a home page that is full of Chinese news and/or links to Chinese web pages, which I can't seem to change, although it works well in all other respects. I have a preference for Opera on my 'phone so I use this in preference to the Smartisan installed one meaning this isn't a problem anyway.
Everything else? It all works really. I haven't found anything that doesn't work properly that I can recall. The music player app forgets what it was playing after a Bluetooth device has been disconnected from it which means I have to open the music player to re-start the music, again not a huge issue anyway.
If you were thinking of buying the Nuts Pro I can't recommend it more. It is one of the most wonderful 'phones I've ever had. The modifications made to the Android OS make everything more beautiful to do and add so much style to the operation of the whole 'phone. This is a wonderful device, I absolutely love it. Don't let the fact that it isn't officially supported in Europe put you off. Assuming you can speak English (no other European languages are installed) you should have no problems, network support not withstanding.
What's the camera quality like... I've heard good things about it. Is it rooted?
Sorry, as you probably can tell, I don't visit often enough to respond to questions in a timely fashion.
Regarding the camera question (probably long forgotten by the poster) the quality is good. Every 'phone I get I take some comparison shots of local landmarks to compare them too.
If I was to rate it against 'phones that you might have experienced, and score them out of ten:
Blackberry Priv. 10
Huawei P9. 9
SmartisanNut Pro. 8
Sincere apologies for not responding until six months after your question, sorry.
Since the most recent update to the software (V 6.0.0.1) my 'phone battery has been draining itself overnight, from 70% or more at bedtime to 0% by breakfast.
I have been trying for two days to downgrade the software to a previous one, with little success. I've actually today ordered an inexpensive 'phone to reluctantly replace the Smartisan (I still absolutely love the 'phone). Not an hour after I placed my order, you guessed it, I finally managed the magic combination of key presses required to enter recovery mode.
In a few steps, here's how I did it:
1. Download a full copy of the Smartisan OS, I used V 4.1.0.2 as I had a copy of this saved on my iMac already. According to the (Chinese) Smartisan Forum, 3.7.9 is favoured, but I didn't have a copy of that. File size for this file is around 1.8Gb
2. Copy the downloaded .Zip file to the root drive of the Smartisan internal storage.
3. Turn off the 'phone screen by pressing and holding the 'Home' button. [Not sure if turning off the screen using the 'Home' button is important, if it is you might have to enable this option in the button shortcuts settings]
4. Press and hold: Volume+, Volume-, Power and Home. Ignore any prompts on the screen to power down. Keep all four buttons pressed in until the 'phone switches off.
5. As soon as the boot logo (Hammer icon) appears on the screen, release all buttons.
6. Use the Volume +/- buttons to select 'Update System from SD' then press the power button.
7. Use the Volume +/- buttons to navigate to the location that you saved the update file to. [This is why it is recommended to save it in the root directory of the 'phone storage]
8. Press the Power button to start the update.
The whole time to update took about 5 minutes or so, then I had to select 'Reboot'. The boot time took a little longer than normal but once rebooted all my apps were in place, almost everything worked normally, immediately.
Some of the Google apps (including the Smartisan Mail and Calendar apps which I have linked to a Google Account) failed to sync which concerned me for a while. I simply deleted my Google account from the 'phone and then set up the account again and my Email, Contacts and Calendar all returned.
I did not wipe the cache, return to factory settings or anything else as I was hoping not to have to re-install all my apps and accounts one by one again if I could help it. As the underlying "Android" OS is still V7 between the V4 and V6 Smartisan OS versions, I hoped this wouldn't be needed. Perhaps other people won't be so lucky.
I'd already ordered a replacement 'phone so if I'd bricked the Smartisan, I'd be upset, but not I wouldn't be without a 'phone.
I would suggest you back up everything important to you, before trying this downgrade as it is possible you will be left with a totally non-working 'phone.
I do still really like the 'phone. If reinstalling a previous operating system fails to cure the problem of the excessive battery consumption I shall be really sorry.
One of the previous updates to the system added a very effective Face Unlock feature. It is possible that this isn't very secure, I have no way to tell, but it works reliably (unless the light is coming from behind me) and I've not found a way of fooling using pictures, photographs or other people.
First of all thanx to mkstevo for opening this topic. I own three Nut Pro phones and they really are wonderful devices. My story is a bit more complicated so maybe it will help someone. I gave a red Nut Pro 4/64 to my girlfirend. It was updated to the latest Smartisan OS OTA (6.X). After only a few days the phone restarted by itself and displayed only Smartisan logo. If you connected it to pc, red notification blinked for a few times (never a good sign).
With my experience with flashing i sensed the phone didn't have a hardware error but it was connected with sw. And also the thought you could never actually brick Snapdragon phones to the point of no return kept me optimistic.
I could get into recovery but couldn't load a rom onto my internal storage. The sd card and OTG usb drive were not recognized (no matter how i formatted them). I could only use adb sideload which was working but the end result was always 0. SO no progress.
It is really hard to find any info or rom about this phone, but unbrick guides are virtually non existent. After hours of Google translate I found a link on a russian site to this rom which should be QFIL flashable (pass: 5pn2) After downloading it for 2 days a lot of captchas and jdownloader sessions i got the rom from baidu.
Next challenge was to put the Nut Pro into EDL (i already had a edl cable prepared). It turns out you should press volume+, volume- and edl button when starting the device and when Smartisan logo appears - you should let them all go. The device starts blinking red constantly and you have Qualcomm Qloader 9008 in the device manager.
After that i loaded the firehouse and xml files and the flashing actually proceeded to the end with success. But the phone still didn't boot up but rather went straight into Smartisan recovery. Something told me to try and "adb sideload" one last time. Not really expecting anything I took the oldest rom i could find (3.6) and sideloaded it and this time adb sideload said success and 1. And to my surprise the device booted up normally.
I do not know what caused the crash. Maybe it was an incompatibility with some app or just a bug in the latest version of Smartisan OS. After 2 weeks of use we couldn't recreate the problem. Other 2 devices are also running fine. EDL flashing obviously reached the partitions that were messed up and couldn't be repaired otherwise.
SO if you ever run into a problem, this is probably the only source you can find about this phone. And it's a great phone, a joy to use and something totally different software wise. There are newer and better Smartisans out, but this one is fairly cheap, has a great screen, great battery, solid camera and is build like nothing on the market.
p.s.
if anybody has a hard time finding roms on bbs.smartisan or on their official site, here is a collection of Nut Pro roms.

How to flash/reset Micromax android T.V ?

Hello,
From last 2 days, I am facing this issue and I was unable to find any solution from anywhere and anyone !
It's an app optimization and logo stuck issue. When I start TV it's working fine, but after 2 hours, this problem occurred !

Philips smart tv won't change channels

Smart TV 32pfl4664/f7a turns on ok and I can navigate to antenna tv ok. The channels can be changed up and down ok but later in 2 or three minutes the tv won't respond to any commands to change channels. When you touch any of the 4 navigation keys you hear the bing sound but nothing else happens. The volume, mute, and home keys are still active. If I hit home it goes to home and I can re navigate back to live tv, then the channels can again be selected for a short time but it quits again.
This tv was powered but not turned on for about 2 months if that matters? This issue was obvious the first time I turned it back on after the rest. The tv snapped out of this bad behavior and worked fine for about a day after a system restart, then returned to to it's bad behavior after leaving off over night.
What I have done so far is a new remote,. Several system restarts and finally a factory reset with new software update. It still does the same thing.
Anyone know what's happening or what to do next?
Thanks in advance for any help, Bruce
