Do I need to Reset the TV from time to time? My Smart functions (amazon and youtube) appears to take longer and longer (TV is 2 years old)

I have never reset my tv but the apps on the TV suck. My Hulu app barely plays. I called samsung about the issue and tech support really couldn't help. So I don't use any of apps on the TV; I have an apple tv. I suggest you do something like that if you can't get the apps to work. The tv is still really awesome...the picture is amazing!

Called Samsung but they weren't helpful....without an extended warranty, I'm out of luck. Only bright spot: It hasn't gotten worse. Now we're in the habit of turning on the TV, leaving for half an hour, and then coming back to it. It usually resolves by then...usually. But it's a big pain. Definitely never buying another Samsung. Let me know if you hear anything.

i just took mine into the shop for the same problem, very irritating hearing it turn on and off all the time just to start, it would take like 10 minutes for my tv to finally turn on, the technician at the shop said the power supply was bad and i wasn't getting enough power to the main board to turn the TV on, 200 bucks later, I am happy, fix it, it is worth it.

I have had this TV for 30 days and it has been absolute misery trying to connect to Amazon Instant Videos. LG has worked with me to reset to factory defaults, update everything and then it works for a day and stops working again. If you want a SMART TV, look elsewhere....

Report this to Amazon. If you have not had the tv very long, make sure you don't let the first 30 days run out without replacing it. Amazon is amazing about replacement. My son's LG 4600 went totally out after using it just two weeks. Turned itself off and never came back on. He had a brand new replacement within 4 days.

Mine is still working fine after 2 years, except for the "smart" functions. We can't stream movies or go online without annoying buffering due to the crappy wifi module. When we want to stream a movie we have to do it through the Wi or playstation. Don't expect good results with any function that needs internet. Samsung customer support is a joke as well. I submitted my concern through their web site, to which they never responded. Once they have your money they don't care anymore.

U may have a bad tv, may have to switch, I have had mine since March 2012, and no issues at all

i guess calling samsung would be the best thing. maybe it may be a power issue. the tv does suck up a lot of power at start up. but then again 5 seconds is a long time. the tv should not take that long to come on let alone buzz

No that's not true. They do update the TV firmware every few months to make minor changes to the menus and so on.

I have found the same problem, after 8 hours of samsung UN46D7000 tv vs amazon instant video! At least I can stop pulling out my hair trying to make it work. Ya think they could just send the frickn' app the tv with all the other crap on there we will never use.

Please make sure you have updated firmware in your samsung TV. Also update smart hub applications using the tools button on the remote. Once you have done the above steps download the Amazon App to your TV. for me Amazon app appeared after i upgraded the firmware and smarthum pair your tv with your Amazon Account. You need to have amazon prime membership to watch the amazon instant videos for free

Mine's been fine for months; thank God! Are you making sure to totally shut the TV off when not in use?

After a power outage at our house, our TV picture began to freeze up when first turned on. We would have to restart it several times before normal functioning returned. I realize this is not your specific problem, but maybe you had a power surge that affected the electronics. Or maybe these TVs just last 3-4 years.

Don't forget that if you are using the TV's component adapter you have to go to your TVs inputs and switch it to "Comp" instead of just "video." Just press left on your remote.

i wish i knew.and when you contact customer service,the best answer you get is "unplug the TV,plug it back in and push the power button."this does not help.I think its just a technical problem with this brand and model.I will advice trying a different brand like Samsung.i thought since toshiba was known for computers they will do well with smart tv but No,their smart tvs has technical issues.dont waste your money.

I find it to be very slow. With my Harmony remote, I trigger the turn on cycle, go get changed for bed, and by the time I get back it'll be ready. Perhaps a full minute between power on and ready to display DirecTV or BluRay. The functions are wonderful, but initial power on and shutting it down is very slow.
