The technological giant Samsung is present in many segments of the industry. One of these is the Smart TV segment, and its related products are among the most popular out there.
Having said the above, in the last few hours, many users of Samsung Smart TVs are facing an annoying issue related to Smart Hub on certain models.
More specifically, Smart Hub app/service is constantly restarting or rebooting on various Samsung smart TVs F series from 2013 (1, 2, 3, 4).
Samsung Smart Hub restarting/rebooting on TVs
All the reports coincide in the same situation. The issue began to occur since yesterday (January 24) suddenly and without apparent explanation.
When users of Samsung Smart TVs affected by the bug try to open the Smart Hub app, the TV freezes for several seconds and then restarts on its own.
Have they stopped support without notification? Seems strange that lots of people having same issue. TV is perfect otherwise it’s a UE40F6670SBXXU. Source
For those who don’t know, Smart Hub is basically the section that centralizes all the ‘Smart’ part of Samsung TVs.
This evening (24 January 2022) both my Samsung Smart TVs (ue55f7000st and ue22f5410ak) stopped working at the same time. Basically when I launch the Smart Hub on either TV, the menu “freezes” after 5 seconds, the sound gets distorted and then the TV switches itself off.
Samsung aware, issue happening on F series TVs (2013)
Currently, the Samsung team is aware of the Smart Hub issues reported in the last few hours. In addition to the above, they confirm that the bug affects the F series smart TVs of the year 2013.
