It is mindboggling to me how Sony puts their customers at risk. Most people connect to the internet and are still sitting on Nougat with security patch level older than a year. On ATV1, many are still sitting on Marshmallow.
Problem is that every major Android TV update so far had to be withdrawn. Sony perfectly knows how bad their software quality is. Hence the slow OTA rollout which might again has been stopped.
Sony may have cancelled the december update to Pie for the XG85, XG87, XG95 etc models. I suspect that because they haven't released the USB update file on their support page yet. I know one guy on the german community page who has got it German Sony community. In the thread they speculate about Sony have postponed the update until spring because of major problems. Can someone in charge confirm this?
I've just updated my KD43XD8305 to firmware v6.6545 via USB and have noted one annoying issue. The volume control 'speed' now increases/decreases far to rapidly. It takes about 2 seconds (maybe less) to go from zero to 30 and so fine control is only possible by repeated single clicks of the RC buttons.
I've just updated by usb on my xe8004 all seemed well but the next morning I had to unplug the TV and plug it back in to get it to turn on! I thought I'd update as maybe Sony had sorted the issues from the other terrible Oreo updates?
Anyway I've factory reset the TV and it turned on this morning so I hope it stays like that, I have heard factory reset is only a temporary fix for this bug 😖, I've also unplugged my usb keyboard as i read that usb items can cause this bug!?
Has anybody actually fixed the bug from a hard reset? Or does it come back? I'm nervous every time I come to turn the TV on now, tomorrow morning is day 2 since the hard reset so fingers crossed.
