Colour temperature fault KDL-50W805C, Optical light fault

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.

Of course Sony did'nt fix it :wink: At least on my w805c the issue still remains on v3.865. Really annoying.

so next 2 reports about this incredible bug

 

reported by  knirps87  and  dswatcher82

https://community.sony.de/t5/android-tv/farbtemperatur-neutral-obwohl-warm-angezeigt-wird/td-p/22638...

 

dswatcher82  own the Sony w855 top model  with 75" 

a ~3000 €  TV !!!

https://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/?phist=1246874

 

so w75c w80c w85c  series customer still suffer under bluish picture quality

 

another workaround founded by DSwachter82

when TV is on and use wrong colour setting

>>>press "help" key on remote control and go back (exit)... of course EVERYTIME you turn your SONY Bravia on

I can only " LOL " about this fiasco. They don't even care about us. We
should all go buy Panasonic next time. They said it's the most durable
reliable brand! I am gonna bet. Their tvs also are well built, no plasticky
things or back on the midrange.

Hi @sonyw805c

 

No reported issues to do with the installation of the new firmware.  However if your hoping for this fault to be fixed, its unlikely - although test it out and report back here ?

 

Cheers

Hi Q,

 

i won´t do sony updates anymore because i can´t go backwards after such an update. I would go back to 5.1  if i can. (due to faster system booting)

 

For sure I will only update this TV anymore if this issue and the "channel deleting" issue will be fixed.

 

The last 3 updates didn´t solve this 2 bugs.

I updated. It didn't solve.

It has to do with the home picture configuration, which we can't change.

On this tv, if you turn it off on YouTube, or while at the the home, you
run the risk of it being stuck in this loop of initializing in the neutral
color temperature.

I remember... Mine was on YouTube. I tuned it off, and when I turned it on
later on, it was on the neutral color. And it kept with this bug every
initialization.
