Your experiences with FW v133.5 for 6xx7, 7xx7 and 8xx7 series (2012 models)

When using 55pfl8007+CI module and pressing the pause button , when you continue to watch 25-50% of the subtitles dissapear, any of you recognize this bug ?

[juv]

Yes, those bugs are major ones.

But if software architecture is split correctly, there are quite a few other annoying bugs that should not have any side effects. To name just one that stupid "new hdmi detection" should not interfere with any HDNM or LPCM stuff.

Again, my personal main disappointement is to have so little information from Philips. I already posted in another thread that this is against Philips policy and commitments to customers. "[...] the company seeks to maintain an ongoing dialogue with its customers [...]". They don't seem to care much...
At least we should get an official statement, other than "we're working" for the last 8 weeks. Explaining root-cause analysis outcome, as well as roadmap for new firmware would be a must.

Including a few external beta testers (such as majorusa!) would greatly improve their Q&A release process. I'm not sure I would love getting new bugs.

I think we all have our "favorite" bugs, for me the subtitle bug is for instance annoying. Also the fact that a new device "is detected all the time is high on my personal list.

In general I think many of us would be dissapointed if Philips does not solve a big portion of the mentioned bugs in the next release, given the fact we are waiting allready 1.5 months...

Yes, this what I meant.
They are major/critical bugs, and annoying ones that should be also corrected and have no direct relation (or possible side effect).
The subtitles, or false detection, should not interfere with HDNM.
I also think Philips should cope with most, if not all, of them.

But wait, I'm sure we'll have some swift answers as well as a release date.

Within industry partners, there would already be some legal notice to have some clear feedback, and corrections to product defects. But we are just end-customers with no real power on what's happening. At least philips can hear us through this forum, I wish they would be sharing more.

About the bug:
- 8xx7 TV not coming out of stand-by
Status: UNSOLVED

HOW TO SOLVE: Manually downgrade firmare to V. 132.5. When you finished, unplug for a minute and turn on tv. The bug is now gone. Then upgrade the 8007 back to the latest firmware release. After that the bug is still gone.

Hello Stefanox,

I have the 8007, it worked for this model. I cannot say for sure if this will work for others but my guess it that it will work for others with a 2012 model as well.
That being said, the 9707 is a 2011 model. It uses other software. Therefore downgrading to 132.5 will not work. You might try downgrading your model too with the appropriate software and then update it back.

To be sure we are talking abut the same bug: this is the bug that after some hours not using the tv it cannot be turned on with the remote. The only way to get it out of standbye is unplug.

Good luck!

Oh yes! It is the new one... nice, i had the 9606 in mind. As for your question: I dont know if it can be downgraded because it's a newer model.

[stefanox]

Got the same problem with 46PFL7007K, downgrading doesnt help, it sometimes wont come out of standby so at those times i just unplug the TV.

First I downgraded to 133.3, that didn't help. Downgrading to 132.5 did help.

Put the autorun.upg in the root of the stick. At downgrade, the TV will not recognize the FW and will not update automatically. Therefore use the update function in the menu.
