Your TV has no BT Transmitter Function.

User Manual:
BT 4.2 (* Your TV doesn't support Bluetooth subwoofer/speakers/headphones)

You need a 3,5mm Jack BT Transmitter Adapter.

Hello guys,
Every time I turn my tv on i get this "USB drive connected" message. I have X700D model updated to oreo and my hard drive is connected. Registering my hard drive as device store is not my option as it will format it and my data will be lost. I switch off and on my power socket along with my tv .I have also factory reset but it didn't help. Googled this issue several times but couldn't find any solution.

Any way to disable this message? It's very annoying as it will pop up every time i turn on my TV. This was not the case when it was on Android 7.0.

I've asked the same question previously and did not get a solution
I was thinking about using commands via ADB to register the device as portable storage but couldn't find the info I needed. To be fair, I was in the middle of moving home so my searching probably wasn't that extensive.
Sorry I'm not more help

I've just searched "sm partition disk portable"and seen lots of info using the Linux sm command.
I have recently formatted a USB drive as a Linux installer for Ubuntu server.
I'll partition that later as vfat and try the commands, swapping the word "private" for "public"
I'll update after I've tried it but it might not be for a couple of days

Thanks a lot for reply. Seems we are stuck with this problem as there is not even a small update to fix bugs after Oreo update and won't be any updates as well in future. How hard it was for developers to just put 'don't ask it later' checkbox? Only if anyone can find out which app is triggering it, so that we can disable that app from ADB.

Also if we make HDD as device storage then it won't be detected in PC right? I also don't have another HDD or storage in PC to backup my HDD data . Is this also problem for USB drive as well or just HDD?

Hi all, anyone has been able to install xiaomi mi airdots or Google home with the TV like a Bluetooth speaker? When I search from TV the TV doesn't find any device.

I also have an X700D, and flash storage devices are always a flaky thing. With the original factory firmware, the television would occasionally "forget" that it had a flash device attached. You would usually observe this when bringing the television out of standby (turning it on). Back then, this often meant having to reformat as device storage (a true pain in the ass).

About three or four firmware upgrades down the line, they seemed to resolve this by doing something unusual—when bringing the television out of standby, the television would unmount any attached storage devices and remount them. I see this every time I turn my Bravia on. My Kodi, file explorer software, and other applications moved to flash storage momentarily disappear from the Home Screen, and reappear seconds later once the storage is successfully remounted.

Not sure of an answer to your issue. I'm pretty sure formatting as device storage would resolve the error message, but you'd have to deal with the annoyance of moving all the files off and finding a way to put them back on. (An FTP server application sideloaded into internal storage works wonders for me with such headaches. I like this one—very small and light on resources, but don't expect a lot of features.)

If only somebody could finally get us root access…

If you adopt the drive as internal storage, my understanding is that it'll be formatted with a Linux filesystem and then encrypted. If so, you'll not be able to access the data from any machine other than your Android device. Windows can access Linux file systems though, through use of cygwin libraries.

If you're connecting your HDD via usb, your Android device will see it, as if it's a USB drive (or have I misunderstood your question?)
I've tried the sm disk:8,0 public command and my data has definitely been wiped due to a format (which isn't an issue for me although I know it is for you) but haven't tested to see what happens following a reboot, if the annoying pop-up still appears or not

Hi Sony Android TV owners,

I am having a problem with my Sony Bravia Android TV (Model: KD-55X8000G).
I updated the latest firmware (V6.6555) for Asia Pacific (I am from Singapore). Since then, the TV keep rebooting. So I tried factory reset multiple times but no success. Now the TV is just stuck in the Sony logo without any LED light.

I did some research and found that this symptom means the firmware was corrupted, which eventually led to my TV being bricked.
So how do I proceed in un-bricking it? Is it via the fastboot command via android SDK? How do I solve this rebooting / stuck issue?

Note that my model is out of warranty despite being 2019 model because this was a replacement TV for 800C model and followed the old warranty which expired on Dec.2019.
I checked with my local Sony services and the charges (including replacement of main board) will cost about SGD 600 to 800. So it is not worth the service; I can use this amount to get a new TV.

I find it a pity that the whole TV is redundant due to the main-board / firmware issues; the panel is still in good condition. So I am trying my best to look for solutions without having to seek the costly services from Sony Support.

Thanks in advance!

Model : 50w800c

the sony logo appears for about 3 sec then the screen goes black, the power light stays green and using the remote to "change channels" makes the white light flash but the screen stays black.

Did you ask on Reddit as well? I tried pulling it from my TV using Solid Explorer and replied to you on there. Here’s the apk: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10ygisFhujodTADhIYsXOjylfGPCreG0Z/view?usp=drivesdk

Same here. Looks like Oreo update bricks our TVs.
What a mess!!

Hi. I have sony XH900, Android 9. Is there any way from pc to write to external usb HD?
I can read it with file explorer from inside tv, but i can't write. I searched and find out that android tv doesn't allow writing to external usb hd. But can't this been done by pc? I know i can take the usb hd to pc, copy anything i want, put the usb hd back to tv and tv will see it but i just don't want to put on / of the usb every time i want to write something to it.. Isn't there any other way?
Thanks,

Don't update june 2020 patch(v6.6575) on KDL-43W800G it has a software bug (confirmed by engineer after checking when I called support) which keeps restarting after Full shutdown (long power button press....not standby on single power button press).

Reset won't help, can't downgrade... Stuck and waiting for next update ???

You mean after long pressing the power button on the remote, tv displays shuts down goes off and goes back on after 5 seconds and starts up again?
I've had the error since upgrading from android 7 to 8 on my 65A1E for a year or so.
