You may try to start the television in Safe Mode and see if the problem persists. Or even better reset it again to factory Settings. You must get into the configuration screens after that. If you don't then the reset didn't really happen (not completely at least, some data is still there and it must be completely erased).
Hi. How long have you had the TV? Ours has had similar problems from the start. Each time they get sorted after a few days, often by themselves, but if it takes a factory reset you're back to starting over with custom settings (like channel lists and that annoying light under the Sony logo). I wish we'd got a refund at the start. Our experience like many on this forum is they keep coming and coming. You end up living with a TV you don't like, barely using the features because you know the next reset is a 30 minute task of reinstating settings. Get rid!
I have had the TV for 18 months or so. I use very few features on the TV as I drive it via a Sony Receiver and use a Sky Box for Satellite. The only TV features I use are Netflix, Amazon and youtube. Over all i have had very few problems (a while back I couldn't get the WiFi to work and now the restart). These things seem to come and go and as there is no logging you never know when an upgrade has taken place.
Overall I find the picture quality awesome in HD and UHD.
Agreed, as a screen only, the picture quality is very good. And, if you can get your images from other sources, then the problems are far fewer. It's just when you want it to work as a TV the issues start!
So thia is NOT solved! Why post it as solved? Just because it sorted itself out?
I have a 1 year old AF8 that just started doing this. Completely useless TV now. When watching something Android will reboot every 30 minutes. When switched off, the TV will power itself on and off wvery 30 minutes, driving us insane duri g the night with the click-click.
Tried unplugging and replugging. Updating firmware. Going through HDMI settings etc.
