50UA6800X how to access service menu?

better quality hdmi cable makes any difference...?

i got this online,

1) Unplug the AC power cord of running TV set to force off the power. (it will be no light at tv indicator there)
2) While holding down the “VOL (-)” and “INPUT” keys on the set at once, plug in the AC power cord to turn on the power. (it will be green light at tv indicator and [S] should be display on TV after a while, maybe more than a minute)
3) Next, hold down the “VOL (-)” and “Channel V” keys on the set at once. (do this when u see [S] display on TV)

If you fail, retry the procedure.

4) To exit, unplug the AC power cord to force off the power.

But seem like there are a way to enter this mode using remote control, but i don't sure.
Perhaps you can share your setting for future reference.

ua6800x...

there is new update - firmware 30700 20180912 - android 8.0 oreo.

.. takes about 20 mins, all smooth.
.. new UI.
.. netflix, youtube, playstore, etc. auto installed.
.. during installation, a choice of proposed apps incl FB, spotify, kodi, puffin tv/browser, etc.
.. option to place (androidtv approved) app shortcuts on UI.
.. all previously sideloaded apps remain.

Great. Will try it out later tonight

Yea...doing now.....

Edit:

"Can not access the network".......

Why...both Lan and Wifi is ok...?

Hmmm...disabling my IPv6 and update is running.....

ASTROGO - Android 8.0:

after update to android 8.0 (sep 2018), astrogo installation:

if u want to install/reinstall astrogo, it is easier on this android 8.

.. get astrogo v8.2.4 (official version is fine), put in USB->tv usb.
.. must have orientation app installed, set to landscape. this one will work:
https://apkpure.com/set-orientation/com.goo....setorientation
.. (previous "rotation app" which worked on android5, 6, 7 does NOT work here.)
.. if u did not accept proposed Puffin TV app during android8 update, please install it - required as installer package for astrogo.
.. (chrome or es file explorer NOT required and not preferred, and if u use either, u have to grant permission as installer.)
.. default Gboard is fine; Indic keyboard is no longer required like before.
.. use X-plore as file manger to install; once u click install, it takes u to PuffinTV - click on the box "astrogo login"; the rest is straightforward.
.. there is no need to switch off/on the TV for this installation unlike previously with "install" option blanked; handling of sideloads is neater now.
.. install from playstore, Sideload launcher or HAL launcher, use it as shortcut in UI to access all apps.
.. enjoy!

above also posted in bottom of post #2 as reference/record.

Hmmm.....how to choose now between HDMI 1 and 2 (Astro and TVBox).....?

Before has been choice..now no.

Edit;
must go to Inputs on the top.....dont like this much.....

tv box, use HDMI1 - this one can set to video quality "high" - for 4k, hdr, etc.

astro is only 1080i, hdmi2/limited will do.

if need be, u gotta get longer cables!

With this new update,I am not so happy.... seems I lost my 5 GHz wifi network.
The name is there ,but "not in range".
2.4 is OK.

Edit:
Previous UI (and Android 7), I think has been better.
Anyway, how to go back (factory reset) ?....
Regret to update......

Me too, when i first got my tv and did the update. No wonder from the start, i am not able to detect my 5Ghz network...
Any solutions guys?

DO NOT UPDATE !!!!!

- No WIFI 5GHz
- "Tools" take more space on screen then before
- When press "Home" , no video/audio signal
- Only single row of application

what ISP?
IPv4 or 6?
try on/off your router, see if it can detect.
i've been on 5ghz, static IP, google DNS since day one, no change after android8 update.

i find the new UI better - more versatile, can customize.
at the bottom there is option to customize rows - u can add or remove.
even youtube, u can have 3 rows.

"tools" is same as before, unchanged.

pressing home DOES take u back home.
if u dun get this, something's not right.

Still able to use WiFi 5ghz
I like it able give tv app preview and able to turn off it. example, showing more youtube subscription or hide it totally.

Hi all, i recently buy the Sharp 60 inch Smart TV, i think the model is LC60UA6500X.

But i feel something weird is that my remote control come with the box have "Netflix" and "Youtube" button. But i search online the same model remote controller is came with "Browser" and "Youtube" button.

Is there any different between this two? Or the remote control are same? Because i could not find my TV to use Browser, but can only Netflix/Youtube.

Is that any different?

i believe Malaysia version is come with Netflix and Youtube.
I'm not sure 6500x built in browser, but 6800x is able to install browser.

No WiFi 5GHz for me......disable IPv6,restart router,restart TV...same...only LAN and 2.4GHz.
I no need youtube in 3 rows or customize other 4 apps.....only.
Main Apps is only 1 row.
Definetly,regret updating.
Maybe,last resort will try factory data reset.

Check router's 5Ghz settings.. Like channels, etc. Perhaps yours is broadcasting on one that the TV's unable to connect to. But yeah, factory resetting may help too.

for ua6800x, i think explanation is due to the android7 units launched here initially did not come with an approved browser, need download or sideload.

netflix is there, so stick on netflix on the remote!

with android8 update, it comes with a proposed puffin tv/browser.

ua6500x is not androidtv, can't sideload any app... but isn't there a default web browser built in?

have u tried restarting android under settings-about?

are u on unifi or maxis or time?
