Upgrade to Firmware 2.09.720.1

I upgraded to firmware 2.09.720.1 and I have noticed that there have been major improvements in performance.
The phone does not lag anymore.
Also I noticed that the Media Link HD has been added to connectivity.
I wanted to know if any other improvements have been made by this upgrade, since I could not find any log stating the changes...

True, that.
Also, the 3 finger gesture has been added and enabled by default which directly allows you to connect to Media Link HD. Just swipe from 3 fingers to get started

I am in India too and I got the update. I have unlocked the bootloader and I was surprised that I got the OTA working without requiring locking it. Maybe it is a requirement for running RUU only. All I had to do was flash back the stock recovery for the OTA flashing to work.
Edit:
Update gave me a new baseband and that renders the RUU I have useless. Started getting reboots when answering phone calls. Went back my trusted modaco vanilla and a kernel I have built updated to kernel verrsion 3.0.38

How?? Cz I'm looking in the updates its telling me my phone is up to date

India does not have carrier locked phones, hence phones are rather expensive as there are no deals!

NO. Instead, switching between tabs is smoother and faster after the update.. I don't have the Calendar/Agenda issue..

The Network Operator name is also fixed.
On the lock screen and in the notification bar it used to show "airtel".
Now it shows "AirTel"

It is crashing for me as soon as I enter the default Calendar app of HTC except that no issues. Also I tried searching for it and found that many users are facing this issue. Sad on part of HTC, they should work on getting this fixed

Help
I am thinking of buying a htc one V,my requirements are moderately heavy games, apps and not too much multitasking..
since both the One V and Ace 2 have similar price, what phone would you recommend?
Thanks n advance

For heavy gaming the Ace 2 would be probably better (2 core, but 800mhz vs 'ghz simple core, and MALI400 vs Adreno205, and more RAM). The question is that the look of the phone will be enough for you

music player
hey folks i got a new problem while playing music on headset on my HTC one v updated to 2.09.720.1. it knocks in every song like a sharp noisy spikes. i restart the phone and song continue to play where i left flawless but after 30 odd seconds of play song stops playing and when i play the song the same knocking sound appears... anyone having this problem?? what should i do? it happened after the update.

The new update gives boot loops
I had updated to the new update! now the phone restarts every few hours and also when the phone RAM gets a bit loaded! has any 1 experienced this? What should i do? I factory formatted , still no good results! its still rebooting..
Should i instal the previous update? how / or Should i go for the new Cynpogen/MIUI?

[Q] XBMC

I just can't seem to get xbmc working on this tablet. I've searched the net far and wide looking for a solution.
Has anyone here managed to get it working properly? What build did you use? Thanks in advance. A tablet is useless to me without xbmx!

Thanks! But still no go. Had the same issue this afternoon with a Gotham build. Getting "Cannot connect to server"

Try mizuu though there is no free version. I bought it and like it. Almost like xbmc. Even better, it allows you to choose your own player with hardware decode.

It's working on mine using MX player (both 1channel and Icefilm are working). Did you download playercorefactory.xml file, copy and paste in
/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata folder?

Yup. Might also have to do with "fail to start commoncache"

Any other suggestions? I really need to get xbmc going.

If you're in the UK all isp's have had a court order to block 1 channel and PFTV. the "fail to start commoncache" bug has been around for a while now in gotham but this only comes up on certain tabs. The "Cannot connect to server" bug has to do with metadata so if you unselect this it should work on those addons.
I've got the Note 10.1 2014 SM-P600 and have xbmc running on it with no problem at, in fact are watching a 1080p film at present. I'm running a Gotham Alpha9 monthly build
compiled 31st Oct

I'm in Canada and xbmc is working fine on my other devices. I'll try unchecking the meta data and see if that works. Much appreciated.

That did it! Thank you!

That's great news

xbmc works on my device but sound craks
i was wondering if other people have sound problems, i don't know the write word for it , its like a electric crack.
this problem is only in xbmc

Could one of you clarify this please because its not exactly clear, you mean its certain addons that cause the problem and its in those addons config you must turn off metadata?
Hardware decoding is working on these right? I know Exynos is supported but I just wanted to check.

I have this problem too.

>>X<<,
Due to a UK court order addons have been blocked by ISP's here. When the developers tried to fix this for some unknown reason (still in being) with metadata set to on caused the addons not work on the 1's block by this UK order and other addons not block and so the only way around was to check each addon to see if it would work or not.
Now since the last post some dev have sorted this bug out and some have not. Sorry but I've been to busy to update my list of which needs metadata off/on. I do know Mashup is fixed. Yes hardware decoding is still working but remember to use the correct 1 for your Android OS.
The crackling sound has been linked to a few Gotham nighlies So best thing is to use the last monthly. Anytime soon Gotham13 will go into it's first beta

xbmc sound fixt pickture is now no good
Thank you for the information, i installed nightly build: 20131208-b7ef080-master-armeabi-v7a.

Thanks for the extra info its appreciated :good:

jamaraki8,
OK the issue you have with the green bar is due to which H/W acc module you are using, Libstagefright or mediacodec,, as you are using the Note 10.1 2014 running JB 4.3 them my guess is you either have bot turned on or just mediacodec.. Try turning mediacodec off and leave Libstagefright as your default H/W acc module, this is how my xbmc is set up and it runs 720/1080p vids np at all.
>>X<<
np at all, it look's like there are no more nightly builds after 8th Dec so it may mean a Gotham beta is around the corner lol

XBMC Sound And PicTure Problems Solved
Thank you, sheepybach
My problems are over now !, not all but that is related to plugins like 1channel etc not compatible(YET).
Just for people whit same problems:
I had sound en picture problems
My system is:
Note 10.1 (2014) running, build number JSS15J.P600XXUBMJ6, android 4.3
XBMC, Nighty , 20131211-210CF9F-master-armeabi-v7A.apk
After installing this nighty, my sound problem was over, but the picture was terrible whit a green line under it, sheepybach told me, that I am running: H/W acc module Libstagefright and mediacodec at the same time, so I needed to turn mediacodec OFF, and leave the other one ON.
But I did not find them , I had to go to System then to PlayBack ,below on the left site there is setting level, switch that to expert, now you see :Allow hardware acceleration (libstagefricht) its ON, and if you scroll a bit down:laugh:, you see the other, its ON to ,switch it OFF.
Now my main problems are over, but the plug in 1channel is not compatible, Icefilms seems ok !
P.S I tried to install 1Channel anyway but it did not allow me , I also couldn’t find/install XBMC Maintenance module.
I hope this makes it clear for other people
Thanks to sheepybach

jamaraki8
Really glad you are sorted and sorry I do forget sometimes to inform peeps where things are or how to change them so that's my bad.
As for channel 1 I'm in the same boat at present and so are a lot of others, the devs get it working and then isp's block it again so it's still a work in progress. Odd you can't find or install XBMC Maintenance module as I can find it but have the XunityTalk Maintenance module installed instead as I find that 1 better.

Philips 55PUS7303/12 Oreo Update (Android 8)

Hi,
on toengel.net I currently find no explicit reference. So here - where do I get the already circulating Android8 update for the 2018 series? I still have the last German official TPM171E_105.1.2.84 for 7303, 7363, 7373, 7383, 7393, 7503, 7803, 8303, 8503, OLED803, OLED903 installed. Google does not really help till the 5th page i give up if only announcements are to be found from Germany.
Philips itself has already updated the latest product sheets and officially reveals Oreo.

OK - found out that the 2018 TVs produced in 2019 have Android 8 right out of the box. Update will come in nearest future. Has anyone a leak of the 2018 Models Android 8 used in the 2019 produced TVs?

i also bought a 55pus7303 and i am waiting for the android 8.0.... but no news in sight. Lets hope it comes asap anyway the 7.0 is pretty stable. i m pretty impressed by how good is the tv for this price.

Hi,
really soon....
[email protected]

Where is this update? I have 803 and was promised beginning of january.. the software currently on this tv is rubbish

Hi,
you can deactivate the Philips Collection in the meantime... this will improve the HOME performance... https://toengel.net/philipsblog/201...m-android-tv-homescreen-ausblenden-entfernen/
[email protected]

Thanks for the tip, but it hasnt really made a difference.. for a tv that is this expensive the software should be much, much better

I agree the software so far is not good enough for the hardware
My wifi keeps turning off (have to power cycle for it to return) not good when power switch behind tv. Tried .75 and .84 firmware. Was hoping to find some adb commands to make it stay. no luck so far
Also this translated link of toengal works better for me https://translate.google.com/transl...-homescreen-ausblenden-entfernen/&prev=search

Is this oficial? Let's wait for OTA update then.

So everyone is happy with the wifi turning off automatically? and not being able to turn it on without a hard switch off from the power socket - seriously this is a major issue that has been ignored and all my network connected devices that i want to link are affected - this is not right

I have had the opposite experience with my 43pus7303 on both Nougat and Oreo. There is lag and stutters of Android all around the system. Even the animation when switching cable channels lags. Scrolling channels menu stutters and even the volume up or down isn't in real time.

There is lag for sure. I also experience it...but I haven't yet seen a really fluid TV because you don't really need it. I use my TV for kodi netflix YouTube and being a PC monitor...and at this pricetag it's perfect

Hi Toengel, I have the Philips 50PUT7303/56 model, which is basically the pus7303 but UAE model. Any idea when we might get the OREO update?
The latest update we have is the TPM171E_105.001.044.009 from December 2018.
Thanks.

After the android tv 8 oreo for tpm171e update, HBO GO is not working anymore!
"Playback error occurred, please try again. (5.1)" is displayed when I try to play any of the episodes or film ....
Options: Retry or Back. If I choose Retry, the appis blocking the TV and I have to switch of/on the tv...
Tried to reinstall, uninstall/reinstall the app.. no luck..
Cleared android and app cache.. no luck!
restarted android... no luck!
I CAN NOT VIEW GAME OF THRONES!!!
Any suggestions?

Hi rgabi88, Is there any solution regarding your problem?
Thanks, Laszlo

I have done a stupid mistake to upgrade my firmware to latest version.
My TV is 55PUS7303/12, now i have version TPM171E_R.107.001.038.000.
I just don't like the Home screen, and now headset volume is controled separatelly from settings menu, before the update the volume was sort of master volume, also for tv speakers, and for headset.
I downloaded previous firmware from toengel.net/philipsblog/firmware-archiv/, but it seems I can't downgrade, the tv says it's older than the installed one.
The file that I got is named autorun-TPM171E_R.107.000.239.004
Do you guys have any idea ?

Screen Shot Share Button / Call Log

Hii
I wanted to ask if there is a way to fix the below Issue I am having with the red magic 5g global edition
When I screen shot and click share button it always replies back fail to share.
The Phone App the cal log is showing from old to new like the old is on top and new on bottom, for me that's weird I know the latest phone call should be on top not the oldest call.
Nextflix is showing for me always in SD not HD that's weird on my wife iPhone it's showing in HD

Yes, unfortunately widevine level for RM5G problems can't be fixed via software and obviously it'll be herculean task to ask everyone to send in their devices.
So, Nubia is looking forward to fixing that issue in upcoming devices including the S version.
Maybe you can get a modded Netflix app that will display HD despite the device's widevine level

Question Slower after Android 13/One UI 5 update. Anyone else?

It seems like the phone is ever-so-slightly-slower following the Android 13/One UI 5 update.
Splash screens of various apps consistently appear for a few split seconds longer than before. In fact, at least one app that used to launched instantly now shows a splash screen for a fraction of a second before launching.
Is this just my experience, or do others see the same thing as well?

Download good guardians from the galaxy store and over the app galaxy app booster. Ran it and look again

Galaxy app booster? Boost all app? Google?

Thank you.
But I'm trying to figure out if the small slowdown after Android 13 update is an anomaly or if most people experience it. Do you?

My phone came with Android 13/OneUI 5 preinstalled, but I later received an update with January security patch and I started facing issues after that update.
The scrolling works very bad, its like there are some ghost touches. When I scroll thru WhtasApp/Telegram chats, photos in gallary, webpages the scroll sometimes doesn't work, just like the screen didn't even register my touch. If I try to scroll fast, the scroll stops in between, just like a ghost touch or something.
I was also facing issue with fingerprint scanner when the phone screen is off for some time, but I got it resolved by removing existing finterprints. and registering new ones.
The scroll issue is a real bummer for me. I hope it get fixed with the next OneUI 5.1 update.

In Addition to what I listed above, I faced one more strange issue today. I received the January security patch AGAIN today. It's like before, the download size, update description, all is same.
The previous January security patch update I got was installed successfully, I could see it in the software section, I am not sure why I received same update again.

Can someone here please confirm if you are able to scroll faster? I mean, I have my old OnePlus 6 with me. If I do a simple test to scroll once in a telegram chat, OnePlus scroll backs to more number of chat messages compared to S21FE. The S21FE just scrolls to few lines.
Anyone observed same issue?

Yes. the scrolling on the S21 FE is much more stiff and "heavy" than my old J series Samsung phone. In addition, many screen taps aren't noticed by the phone, requiring me to tap again.
You should report it in the Samsung member app like I did. The more people who report these problems the bigger a chance that a patch will be issued.
