Sonia Bravia KD49EX9005 slow performance
Discussion
Hi All,
recently purchased said TV to replace a Panasonic (which now sits upstairs). The Bravia display is brilliant, however, Amazon is virtually unwatchable as it stutters, black screens, pauses, hangs, plays sound but no picture or sometimes works perfectly.
It is somewhat disappointing as the Panasonic is a good few years old and plays 4k on Amazon without fault. Is there anything that can be done?
Overall the TV is good but the performance from the controller has a laughable delay at times.

I bought a Sony 49 inch LCD at xmas, can't remember the model off the top of my head.
It suffers the same issues as you describe, with the addition of the menus being painfully slow to navigate. It seems like the cpu that runs it struggles to keep up, especially immediately after being switched on.
I'll see if it needs a software update when I get a minute.

t" is not a good reason for returning something. I gave up on wifi due to buffering. Still have some issues on Amazon, but don't on netflix so I'm putting it down to whatever integration Netflix have done to give them a big button on the remote being better than whatever Amazon did(n't)
The menu response is a joke though - get to the point where you press the button again, and then it sorts it's life out twice making you it's got a life of it's own. I let the picture outweigh the crap user interface though...

I have heard that disabling YouView helps, we have the same TV and it works fine for us - we still use our Humax box for normal TV so haven't enabled the YouView to see if it slows things down.
I can't even get YouView to work. It demands scanning for channels but I don't have an aerial. Have disabled Youview and will monitor. It is using wifi but it is full strength and would expect a newer tv to not be outshone by the one it has replaced (but will go wired if I get around to it).
Thanks for the tip regarding Youview, never really watch telly anyway so never record anything

Remember reading somewhere about disabling Samba too. I picked up an ex demo unit of this TV and I use it as a display only after doing a factory reset and it has been fine. I took one look at the Netflix app on the TV, it's nowhere as good as the one in...the Sony X800 player! In fact , the player's OS has been so robust (touch wood), it's confusing how the implementation can fail so badly on the TV.
I'd say it will give up on 23/04/2018.
Now I know why Currys were keen to sell me the extended warranty - er EU law protects me (at least until next year )Had fun with changing from HDMI3 to TV yesterday. Pressed button, nothing, press again, nothing then it jumps two inputs so I press again - after 15 attempts eventually I got it onto TV.

Sounds like you've got a faulty unit to me.

They're all like that sir.
Get an Apple TV, forget about the smart android tv side of the Sony.
Unfortunately though, periodically the tv will have various services crash, resulting in a box on screen you have the press the ok button to remove. In some circumstances it’ll keep crashing, or there will be one after the other after the other.. until you give up and reboot the tv.

On a slightly different question, has anyone else’s home button stopped taking them back to the home screen / dashboard?
