Launcher problem on Sony BRAVIA XBR55X850C

by xela19115

Recently, I ran into a problem with my 2015 Sony BRAVIA XBR55X850C. It's still running Android 7 and an old Leanback Launcher.

​

If I try to re-arrange app tiles or delete/uninstall apps on the screen, I am unable to "coomplete" the operation because there is no DONE button visible to press on the screen. Also, this causes the wallpaper background to disappear and gets replaced with a blue-grey solid color. I have to go settings, apps and force stop the Leanback Launcher to get back the wallpaper.

This happened before and only way I was able to restore Leanback Launcher functionality is to Factory Reset the TV set but, as you can imagine, it is a major PIA. I'll try to capture the video and post it what's going on later on, if it's possible.

​

Any advice on what I can do to restore the Leanback Launcher functionality without the Factory Reset?

I think that I've had a similar problem, just long press to activate the rearrange mode, then press on a tile and move it around, once you're done keep pressing Back. If you're stuck and unable to exit this rearrange mode, use either Home button, maybe try switching to another input or just turn off the TV. Your tile arrangement should be saved.

I have the same problem with x810c .

FIX: Settings at the bottom should be visible Go to Settings -> Apps and force close LEANBACK LAUNCHER and press home.

Last update to it was almost 2 years ago, such a disgrace
