Android 7.0 (Nougat) Update - Discussion Thread

[diodorus]

I just read about the upcoming Nougat update for (US?) sony TVs, for example the KDX8300D.

Any idea if this will also happen at the same time for the (UK?) XD83, and if so if this will fix the 5.1 issues?

Thanks!

Nice. So kernel version is still 3.10.79. Only updating Android TV is pointless. Suppose all MediaTek bugs still apply...

update is not showing up on the sony support downloads page for my KD-43XD8305.

Im sure it will be there eventually.  Just takes Sony a bit of time to replicate the files across its servers and update webpages.

Go straight to this link: https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/lcd-tvs-android-xd80xx_x80xxd-series/kd-49xd8099/download...

It says your TV (XD83) is supported as well. Mine is a 49XD8099 (Italian, but as I supected it didn't matter).

@Kuschelmonschter What a mess. First it duplicated my post, then it deleted the second one. Anyway. I was saying that if you;re a maniac like I am about always setting the best picture, just the small menu on the right is worth the upgrade!

And here for the "italian XD80"...

Yeah, the file name is the same. So it should be the same identical zip file. I mean, I checked the file name of the previous release and it was the same in UK and Italy as well, so I went straight installing Android 7 from the UK file (I am busy this afternoon and I wante dto check it ASAP). But it doesn't matter since now it's out in both Countries!!
