TCL T-Link guide menu - Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV

I own two different TCL TVs: 43EP660 and 32ES560. Both are running AndroidTV.
Is there ANY way to remove the pointless & annoying guide menu picture of the remote control when trying to use HDMI-CEC? See attached photo or one on Google Drive:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D7z2-BqBANDftqSG_tnUNfpxpmA65ZN6/view?usp=sharing
Guide menu is needed to use full HDMI-CEC to allow control of an external device (Raspberry Pi 4 with Kodi in my case) via HDMI cable using TCL remote.
Guide menu is accessed via being on an HDMI input > Menu (3 horiz lines) > T-Link > Guide menu
Unfortunately as you can see in the photo, there is a constant and as far as I can tell, non-removable picture of a stupid remote blocking an eight of the screen... The issue has been bugging people since 2014 it seems.
I tried contacting TCL EU but their support form leads to error 404... TCL US still haven't replied.

I have this exact same problem, it's mind boggling that I can't find a way to hie this. If anyone has any idea I would greatly appreciate it.

Can you please email TCL support?
If enough people bug them they might release an update with hide "On screen Guide Menu Remote" toggle. Or at least an opacity slider to allow you to drop from current ~80% down to 0%.
I received a reply from TCL_USA saying that they forwarded my email to appropriate team. Let's see if they get back to me.
Thank you for your email. We will forward your information to the appropriate team. They will review it, and someone will reach out to you regarding your concern.
Should you have further concerns regarding TCL TVs, please do not hesitate to contact us again. We will be more than happy to assist you.
Thank you for choosing TCL!
Happy Holidays,

Hi,
Which email did you contact (I'd like to contact the same one) ?
This picture on screen is really stupid and useless ...
Do you have a RC602S remote ?
I rode somewhere that the keyboard key of this remote can hide this picture.

... and when i use the customer form on the french web site ... all i have is a 404 error !

I used the TCL USA webform.
The EU support for TCL is broken, gives me 404 as well.

Ok... I had to lie about the model as they are different for US market

I have RC802V which is very similar. You can't hide the guide menu with it.
You have an option to display a different remote (with keyboard button) on-screen, but then, the arrows on the remote are used to select different buttons on the on-screen remote...And this on-screen remote doesn't have arrow keys...

Same

Hello
i got a TCL 43P615 and im having exactly the same issue. Did anyone found a solution for this?
did anyone know if accessing to the secret menu and put the hdmi cec always ON can help with this?
Im thinking about buying a USB IR to have the option to use the tv remote control but its stupid since i got a new TV and the HDMI CEC is not working properly

Car home

Hello everyone!
Maybe a dumb question, but how do you activate the car home?
A lot of reviews mentionned it, but I can't find it on my phone...
Thanks.
Not a dumb question at all..
I can't help you I'm afraid.
In addition to what you are seeking, I'm about to start a search looking for the morning Alarm Clock screen with Home Apps as well.
Use car dock once it comes it, or has it?
Using it will activate car home.

Negative... this screen operates independently of the car dock.
Think of it this way ~ how on earth can a piece of hardware control what you see on your screen if the items are not there in the first place.
What about the Morning screen with it's large digital clock and several morning applications all in landscape mode and the TV Remote control?
You can't say until we get the hardware we can't see those screens and apps as well!

GALAXY S knows how to bring my day to a relaxing end. When set on its side in the cradle or docking station, GALAXY S switches to a new interface, selecting four vital functions needed to help transition into a lasting, satisfying state of rest—table clock, audio station, digital photo frame and calendar.

True true, but according to the way that Samsung phrases it, it appears to be the way I've stated it. Correct or no?
So far everything that I've said is speculations BASING on official sources.
Yes it's not 100% correct, but at least pretty high accuracy.

I understand completely what you are saying here but it was Samsung themselves who told me the apps are already installed.
It just seems so weird you need a mount of some sort to display them.
Taking this further, what about the Remote TV Controller, how the heck can we put this same logic into practice?
hi
First post but hopefully not the last
I just got my galaxy s yesterday
the remote app is actually in the samsung app store BUT its not availeble for the Galaxy s (atleast not yet) its for the samsung 8500 and 8500L. the samsung apps store lets you DL the apps but not install them.. the apps extension is .APP contra .APK for android

It just feels like everything on this phone is about waiting for Samsung, I suspect all these features will eventually appear, its just about having the patience to wait for them.
Still waiting for the Home Dock, the Car Dock, the TV control, for Kies to recognize the 9000 on the app store, for spare batteries, for firmware updates... and of course Froyo.

I have patience, no doubt about that. I need it by the bucket load in my profession.
What annoys me though is when a department fail to provide material facts, especially when these facts have been mentioned that long they now appear as works not of fact but fiction.
Yes, they will come but in the meantime it remains shoddy there is nothing available of material in both the items and information.
Agreed, its pretty poor that they didn't at least add the token '* coming Sept 2010' instead of faking up the applications and presenting them as ready and available now.

Logic?
The logic that we gotta employ is simply regard Samsung's strategy as NOT using any logic at all.
Like we discussed last time, 2011+ tv only.
I guess the only way for us to find out is to email Samsung. Someone should compile a list of "urgency" questions and we'll all send it to Samsung Mobile department.
-------------------------------------------------------------
But Beardds, at least they have released the phone first right?
I mean com'on, it's better than waitin for both the phone PLLUSSSS the support.
And to reply to your "firmware support" concern, I've seen new firmware updates nearly every other day, I might be wrong but you should check out Samsung Firmware "official' site

This is strange, confusing and disappointing.
Why has Samsung released these apps which we have been asking them time after time but with no response and yet here you find them listed.
The European SIM free Galaxy S does not list any of these apps on either the Samsung or general Market.
Could you upload the .apk files so that we can check to see if they will install and load please?
So Samsung support wasn't that crazy when they said it could be on the market already, just not for the i9000
Funny how the US versions seems to get preferential treatment, in both accessories and software. Still no dock or cases to be found on the EU sites

[Q] ZL's Remote app and Airtel DTH

Hey guys!!!
One big reason for me to choose ZL over Z was the IR remote sensor.. and frankly its really cool to have an IR on your phone. It is working well with my TVs and I am able to configure it with ease. But, it doesn't work with my STBs (which accounts for the max remote usage ) I have two Airtel DTH STB's (HouseCast &Hauwei) and both are not responding to my phone. I tried doing the manual setup (as they arent listed in the auto setup), but it doesn't work. Can anyone guide as to what could be the problem?
i have figured out that there is some problem with the learning function of the app as even the devices which work under auto setup does not learn if you try entering them under manual setup.. anyone can help me with this? has anyone tries making things work under manual setup??
i have a tata sky stb digihome box ..same issue .. doesnt learn

Learning worked for my device. you have to put the remote control a few centimeters below the power-button of your phone and press and hold the desired key.

Mine works good for TataSky STB. Just select SKY as the manufacturer of STB while setting it up for new device, and select type 2 (out of various pre-configured layouts). Hope it works for u too!
it learns the buttons but when i click test remote it either fails or force closes putting the entire effort of pressing each button useless .. i saved again without testing button did not respond

It's a known issue. Popped up in the Sony support forum, but there's also no solution.

I also use TataSky but my phone doesnt have sky option. Is there any update for that app or is different for every country?
So, there is an update on Sony Support Forum:
This has been investigated and in case you have this problem the phone needs to be repaired or replaced by a service location.
Please contact a service location or local Sony Xperia support ( sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/ ) for assistance.

Anyone able to get the "learn signal" to work?
I've tried 2 remotes to learn volume +-. It works initially.. it says "signal learned" but then the button never works.
I tried to make my phone simply learn the one and off for my A/c but after many attempts the ZL did not learn the single command.
Hope sony fixes this soon.
I'm bumping this a bit because this problem is apparently annoying multiple Xperia ZL users. The related thread at the Sony support forum unfortunately is marked as solved, although no proof of a solution has been spotted yet.
As Sony's local Service Centers seem to be unaware of the functionality, let alone have a fix for the problem, I am trying to escalate this issue to Sony, in the hopes of a proper fix.
In this light, I would like to request anyone having issues with IR not learning signals properly to post in that thread and help make Sony aware of this problem. With strength in numbers, we'll get this fixed.

[Q] Could someone try installing Talkback?

Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying a Fire TV but before I do I was wondering if someone could quickly try something for me. I'm totally blind & all my devices (phones, tablets, laptops etc) talk to me - if they didn't I wouldn't be able to use them. Most versions of Android come with a screen reader called Talkback but my research suggests that the Fire TV doesn't.
I was wondering if someone would be able to attempt to install Talkback and let me know what happens? Unfortunately I can't post the link but you should be able to find it by searching for Talkback. NB: the description on its page says that you will need to enable Talkback in settings so if it doesn't start talking once installed this may be why.
If you do manage to get it installed, I'd be interested in hearing how much speech you get when trying to use some of the stock apps so that I can work out if I'll be able to use it or not. A quick video / audio file of you doing a few things with it talking would be absolutely amazing but no worries if not.
Any help with this would be very much appreciated; if it can't be made to talk I simply won't be able to use it so I don't really want to buy it only to end up returning it shortly after. Sorry if this is a bit of a newbe type question - the only Android experience I've had was on an old Nexus 7 a couple of years ago so I have a lot to learn.
Cheers,
Ben.
Bump. Anyone? A video is completely optional - I just want to know if it starts talking once Talkback's installed & enabled. Thanks.
installed thorugh Aptoide but I don't know how to set it up once it installs. Does it have an app to go with it or is it just a service to activating by the google settings page. If it is that way the Fire TV does not have the same settings options as other android devices.

voice not working on air mouse T3 and shield tv

I've got two of two of these from two vendors. Both of them have mics. Everything works out of the box but the voice search. Anybody here with the same issue? Solution? Thank you.
FYI- Most of those t-3's and mx3's do not have the mic I would test it on another system .
I have bought about a dozen plus from ebay trying to find ones with mics that worked.. It was a no go.

I use one of these same remotes (possibly different vendor, lot of different versions on Amazon) with my Shield TV and am able to use the voice input and searching. Out of the box it was also not working as others described, but then I installed MKR (can be installed from the web version of the play store directly to the Shield. See link below) to map the keys on the remote and was able to get it to function perfectly. Can use the voice search just like the standalone Shield remote and gamepad. Plus you can configure every other button as well. Example, I have the Red button open Netflix, yellow button launches Plex, Green button Hulu, ect.. Remote is pretty damn awesome with the shield after mapping the buttons how I wanted. Give it a shot.
**I was unable to post the direct link, but just search for "Multilanguage Keymap Redefiner" on the Play Store.

Thanks for your reply.Voice on the remote is not a function that is assigned to a button. I'll give it a try but it is possible that your remote is more capable than mine.

Not to sure about the shield ir as i have the 1st gen. I have programmed the IR for my tv and sound bar.
I also recommend to remap buttons in android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
Alot of buttons on the remote are pointless and i never use so i have remapped them to quick launch apps red=youtube yellow=iplayer green=all4 blue=terrarium/kodi and i have also remapped the search button to bring up google assistant. You can also remap as long press our double tap. Thats what i did for the blue button press=terrarium long press=kodi.

what happens a lot of times is that staff speaks and the voice is captured by the shield's original controllers
there is no voice control t3 and yes the original control that is capting your voice
if you remove all original commands in shield settings you will see that the t3 voice command does not work

Root telnet access for MH2p (VW/Audi/Porsche)

Hi all, new user here.
I have a VW with a MH2p infotainment ("vw discover premium") unit.
I'm looking for assistance in getting the root password to the unit via telnet.
I don't want to remove the unit from the car or desolder anything.
I have established a telnet connection with the unit.
Unit details...
Hardware: 760035067B
SW MU: 2838
Train: SW_Train_MH2p_ER_VWG36_P2838
Anyone out there able to offer assistance?
Were you able to get the root password or able to get Android auto FEC coded ?
If anyone still needs a MH2P solution. I've got it full (conversion, green menu, androidauto, carplay, fullscreen carplay, lifetime maps, gracenote, radio station logos, generator...)

Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, someone was able to help me get root access.
My unit already supports Android Auto, I just want it to use more of the screen (I have a 15" screen and AA uses like two thirds of it). No luck with that yet, but not had time to sit and mess with it for a while.

Would you mind sharing how you got root ? I have the D-Link Ethernet already and it's setup as needed I just am unsure of which up to set the card to and need the root password. I know there's a way to generate a token via a port but not sure how to decrypt that to gain root access to enable Android auto.

Yeah i can help you out but there is a reason why its not public and free yet.
Theres 2 methods on the market as of now. D-link and SD card only. For D-Link a generator and a challenge key is needed to gain root access then you have to do the magic with fecmanager and exceptionlist. Pm sent.

My unit already supports Android Auto, I just want it to use more of the screen (I have a 15" screen and AA uses like two thirds of it). No luck with that yet, but not had time to sit and mess with it for a while.

Is your car a Touareg or Porsche by any chance? I have a Porsche fullscreen solution but need a Touareg to test same thing.

It's a Touareg. Native maps go full screen (respecting the softkeys on the right and bottom) but aa/carplay don't use anything like the full canvas they could.

Would you mind sharing how you got root ? I have the D-Link Ethernet already and it's setup as needed I just am unsure of which up to set the card to and need the root password. I know there's a way to generate a token via a port but not sure how to decrypt that to gain root access to enable Android auto.

What captain said above... It's beyond my capability so I paid someone to get root access for me.

Yeah i have this for Porsche ready. I could test it on Touareg as well, just need to get the resolution right. You would require d-link.

@CaptainKoruzica, if you have something to share with the class, you're welcome to do so. Keep in mind that rule 11 of the terms that you agreed to in order to use the site expressly forbid you from using this as a commerce platform by which to sell stuff. Keep in mind that if you send scam messages to those users, they can also be reported and acted upon accordingly.
If you have some kind of meaningful solution or discussion to contribute, the best place to post that would be right here in this thread.
Touareg solution is still in the works. Trying to get Fullscreen AndroidAuto to work with member Vfe. But if anyone wants to check, you can access the root of mh2p units with this generator. A quick guide is attached.
Some locations/files to look at:
