Hi everyone,
I purchased this Sony a few weeks back and noticed that it has been making this cracking/popping noise from the TV speakers intermittently since I set it up. Any idea as to whether or not this is normal? I read a few posts on here about the X950G doing this after a software update, but couldn't find anything on the X950H. It happens just cycling through the Android TV menu options, but doesn't do it when playing content (aside from with some devices using Apple AirPlay). Trying to figure out whether I should exchange this TV for another since it's a bit annoying, but I don't want to go through the hassle since it's VESA mounted if this is "normal."
Video of sound on Youtube: https://youtu.be/x_8XHToexHY?t=33
Starting at 0:33, there are two concurrent pops when switching between "Audio System" and "TV Speakers" which is the most reliable way I've found to reproduce the noise.
Thanks!
I have Amazon Prime which works flawlessly via the optical spdif cable running to my speakers.
Contacted help.disneyplus.com today and asked why 5.1 surround sound doesn't work with my current setup when Amazon Prime does.. They said that the Disney+ app doesn't support 5.1 surround sound on the Philips 50PUS8204 TV which is a huge disappointment as one of the selling points behind me joining Disney+ was 5.1 surround sound which they do offer but isn't supported apparently.
Has anyone been able to get 5.1 surround sound working via Disney+ on the Philips 50PUS8204 TV via multichannel optical out ?
Philips tv is fully up to date and is running Android 9.
Thanks in advance..
I've recently got myself a 50PUS7304/12 and would like to get rid of the default Rakuten, Philips and other default apps.
I have tried disabling the apps, among with uninstalling using FX Browser but the apps keep coming back somehow (I think after resuming from standby).
Does anyone know if it's possible to completely remove, or permanently disable default apps?
I've created a some BASH scripts to semi-automate backup/restore & removal : https://github.com/kaipee/android-backup-removal
Update 1: Thanks to u/latinriky78 and u/ccspdk . I have created a basic BASH shell script that will (after adb is already set up and currently connected) backup the required app, uninstall the app then reboot the TV. It takes 2 parameters:
! /bin/bash
printf "Backing up $1 to $(pwd)/$2.ab ...\n"
adb backup -apk "$1" -f "$2".ab
printf "Uninstalling $1 as user 0 ...\n"
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 "$1"
printf "Uninstalling $1 ...\n"
adb uninstall "$1"
COUNTDOWN=10
for count in $(seq $COUNTDOWN -1 1); do
printf "Rebooting device in $count seconds, Ctrl+C to cancel...\n"
sleep 1
done
adb reboot
Update 2: I've successfully uninstalled the following apps from my Philips 50PUS7304/12 without any problems
