1. TV goes off with right colour temperature Expert 1
I turn it off , and, after 8 minutes I turn on the TV... It's gone, it's all bluish.
I have to manually change it in the menu or change to:
Another HDMI
TV
App.
Did two factory resets and I won't do no more!
This is incredible. It's a basic thing. The TV has to retain its color
Configuration. I've never seen anything like this in my entire life!
2. The red optical light of the toslink connector for audio on the back of the TV doesn't go off.
I am just wondering if this nice piece of engineering is always online...
Can anyone confirm to me that, after 8 minutes off, the red toslink light goes off on the back of the TV, please?
Thank you.
That’s a valid question, but considering Sony’s proficiency and dedication in software development it appears safe to assume that even they don’t know why...
Up until now this is the only way to refrain the tv from moving out of the corrent colour temperature.
aka leaving IP control on.
doesn't neet to use remote start.
also, when you enable Ip control on. you will notice there is a slight gray frame that shows up as son as you enter the ip control menu.
The same thing also shows up when you power on the tv after some hours.
(if you're in the home menu).
doesn't bother me much, cause at least it will still be at the right color temperature,
but it's a bit of a hassle having to see a grey thing showing up out of no where in front of the menu.
regarding the 20w problem. i don't think it will affect the tv.
there are worst things. like when you shut it down (with ip control off) and it never sleeps properly, waking out from 0,5 watts to 20 watts each 5 minutes when the wireless or network cable is on. I
think it's better to be at 20w fixed all times and idle than to power on from 5w to 20w and calling home, powering up the processor like nuts each 5 minutes, then turning off. At 20w, at least everything is idle more or less, not wrecking the PSU.
I am actually disconecting my home theater tv (also android) from wireless network so it will
go fully sleep mode.
But I am leaving my 50w805c on the wireless network on, tho. in my room.
The latest update tok off the APP UPDATE menu from the HELP and the ABOUT menu.
With it was possible to feed the Google Store Update list without having to leave the
auto update option on; ud pic what you wanted to update then you'd be good -- in my case, never
updating to the horrible youtube 2;19 update.
Well, now it seems my tv will be like windows 95.... never updating apps. because I wont turn on the
Auto update... wont have this new horrible youtube app.
Just a heads up for this tv owners -- this update seems to have been only for our models, nothing on the D line yet.
As i said, i won´t do any updates anymore.... Last weekend, i decided to update to 3.925 Firmware Verison.
Due to Video player bugs (it didn´t show a picture but the audio part works, while using Kodi SPMC MX Player and the Sony Video app)
Now my Sony Android TV switch to cold and not to neutral colour temperature anymore, if it was in standby.
But the menu still shows warm...
Can you or somebody else confirm this?
A factory reset is already be done by me...don´t know how many i already did.
Unfortunately 4 Firmware updates didn´t solves this colour temperature problem too.
so keep posting posting posting..
that bug, like so many others, was introduced with MM. And none of the later MM updates didn't solve any of those MM bugs that were not there on Lollipop. Clearly, regression test is alien term at SONY.
Read that over at the AVSForum:
In fact, the w800c got a fix for a color temperature bug that has plagued it for two years.
Talking about Nougat which has been released in the U.S. Seems like it fixes the issue. Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys.
How can Sony leave such a fundamental thing broken for 2 years? Curious how long it will take them to fix the Motionflow issue in 2017 E models.
any info on USB related issues? I mean, this is annoying but at least is fixable in more than one way.
No word about USB so far. In the U.S. most people don't use the integrated functionality anyway. That's why Sony TVs are more popular over the pond...
so round 5.
Can somebody report if sony finally solves this annoying problem with the colour-temperature-fault in firmware V5.381?

@Kuschelmonschter Can you please post the link of where exactly you read that? Nougat did not fix that problem on my w805c.
