Experience thread - FW 150.97 - for 6/7/8/9000 Series - 2012

[thepauk]

Is it possible to downgrade to 133.05? I still got better picture quality with 155.089 than 155.097 which is the current firmware. On the German forum, they state that the picture quality is significantly better and without flimmering on firmware 133.05
I think my tv came with a firmware that where newer than 133.05 by the way.

As far as I can remember, you can NOT downgrade to anything lower then 150.xxx, because they changed the standby mode. (That's what i remember!) Maybe philps can confirm!!

The last firmware makes me crazy because of freezing and resetting all the time. I would like to downgrade to previous 150.95 but for me (Poland) is not available anymore. Can I install German version which is still available to download?

Best regards
Andrew

In this firmware indeed there is an improvement in image processing. Still room for improvement, but it's nice to see that an important thing such as image is being fixed.
In other news, WIFI smart screen still not working on android phone.
3D side by side inverted not working. You can test this by pressing it on normal 3D movie and see that nothing happens, the image is correct even if you select inverted. The only way to watch an inverted 3D movie is to wear the glasses upside down.
This morning I found out my HDD (WD MyBook) was on and scanning (there was activity) with the TV off for the whole night...
Remote control response is still slow. I noticed that switching channels that are registered on CI+ card takes longer time than switching coaxial cable channels. CPU limitations or bad software management?
Some TV and radio channels are displayed for 1 second, with audio, then the image goes black and the "program not available" or scrambled information is shown. Clearly RADIO channels that I listen to on my other radio devices are not scrambled or not available...what is the deal with this? Also the TV channels that do this are perfectly visible on Samsung and LG TV...
When image is panning (left to right movement for a 360 view or from up to down) there is some judder/stutter, because here there is a lot of processing to be done. The whole picture is moving, meaning the full 1280x1024 pixels need to be processed. Maybe CPU/RAM limitation, maybe needs software improvements. For small objects moving on a still picture, the slight freezing of frames is apparently not an issue (or just less visible).
I am unable to verify the optical audio out, but the audio jack and the speakers do not have interruptions.
And this scrambling of the tv channels logo with each fw update is still an issue.

The dropouts in audio are truly annoying. This is a serious setback.

I need a quick-fix for this. Or at least some confirmation that this is a known bug and will be fixed in a upcoming update. And a release date would be appreciated.

Back to reality...... :

I've looked everywhere for 150.095 but unfortunately I must have deleted it.
My right arm for a link to 55pfl6007t_12_fus_dan.zip, containing 150.095
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Any ETA on a new firmware, it's been 2 months almost, and 8-9 months since we reported the bugs waiting to be fixed.

I to would also like 150.095, as I had the exact same problems. My fix was a downgrade to 150.092, but would like the newest working version om my Tv.

In my country, there's a crazy deal going on for the Philips Fidelio X1 headphones at the moment. But guess what: didn't buy them, because you guys are still twaddling around with the TV firmwares, so I'm not very trusting towards your other products, either. Very intrigued about those specific headphones, sure, but Philips' apparent potential incompetence weighs more.

And what's odd about this current situation, is that you have broken earlier working features with the latest firmware, yet you didn't release a quick-fix to solve them. That strikes some alarms in my head, at least.
1) You're not going to end the support here now, are you?
2) And I hope you aren't trying to stall for time so that the customers would forget or become too frustrated to keep tabs on possible future fixes?
3) Or better yet, you think people will be happy after you fix the bugs you actually just produced yourself? No, that just brings us back to square one. After that you're supposed to actually fix the bugs that have been there since the release. If you take five steps backwards, and six steps forward, that means you've only progressed one step. And lately, you've just taken steps backwards. How about doing some forward steps, for a change?

Oh, and another friend asked for a recommendation for a new TV. --> Samsung.
(and yes, I did tell him about the Philips' firmware situation... and there were his two other friends listening in, too)

So goooood PR job, Philips/TPVision! Really nice. Congratulations.

You can downgrade and then update via Wi-fi (as the newest version over wi-fi is 150.095). At least, that is the case for me

Film mode deinterlacing doesn’t always work correctly, with the Philips 8007 falling in and out of sync with the 2-2 cadence of Film-to-PAL video transfers.

When fix it?

[Philips - Ina]
