For the past 2 days, I've been getting an EXTREMELY annoying popup notification with small ding sound. This pops up about every 2 hours and disappears in 5 seconds. Impossible and just plain silly to not be able to read it. It does say something about thanks for being a customer and that smart hub collects data in some kind of way and that you can mess with settings in settings. I have never been able to read it as it leaves so fast. I just disconnected it from my network prior to posting this. Anyone knows what this is and most importantly, how to stop it?
I only hope that disconnecting it from my network will stop these messages but only thing I can find under privacy settings want me to agree to a bunch of check marks. I clicked none of them as I do not agree with their TOS for something that I rarely use. This TV is strictly as a monitor and have no antenna connected. I could completely disable smart hub as I may just have by disconnecting the network connection.
UPDATE EDIT: Taking the TV offline seemed to have fixed the issue but the loss of IP remote control via watch and home assistance is an annoying too. My plan is to Block the TV's mac address from any WAN (Wide Area Network) access via my router. I'll put it back on the network so that my home assistance setup still has access to it so I'll still have my remote control features but the TV and Samsung has no access to and can't make changes to my purchased and owned property. The TV is used as a monitor like I said so a dumb tv will be fine if I can't get it to work how I mentioned. I'll update if anyone even cares about that route.
UPDATE 2: I have since reconnected my TV back to the network and instantly saw the warning again. I then blocked WAN access of the TV via my router but it is connected to my LAN only. I then disconnected my phone offline to test and still have access to my Home Assistant features to the TV online as that is via a encrypted DDNS running through my own micro PC setup along with every other former cloud device I own. All controlled by me. Now Samsung can't break what they can't connect to.
Same here. I've tried everything except going offline with it. I refuse to check the agreements for the spying they want to do. This is just the reason I needed to justify buying that new Sony from Costco!
Wow. If this is the worst annoyance you people have in your lives, get over it and count your blessings. I wouldn't buy any TV (or phone) from any company other than Samsung. I only came over here to find out if the notice was important since it disappears before I can read it. š
Some people are neurodivergent and just because it doesn't bother you doesn't mean it won't make someone else want to chuck their TV out the window. Try living in a hyper vigilant state 24/7 unable to relax because your amygdala and nervous system are **bleep** up from trauma and tell me to count my blessings. Ignorant MF'r... š
Same thing happening to me. I HATE this. I also have a Roku and do not use nor want any "smart" features on my TV. I deeply resent the privacy violation that this implies. I purchased a TV. I did NOT sign away rights for any company to strip mine my data. Samsung needs to remove this intrusive popup quickly or they will permanently lose another customer.
We're having same issue on 3 TV's, the same TV's that can no longer use the Youtube TV or Paramount Plus apps after an upgrade.
We've been through the privacy policy menu items, and still getting the annoying notification. Google the problem brought me here, so it sounds like this is a huge issue for many. Have to hope they get this fixed. In the meantime, I'm shutting down smart hub.
I've unhooked from my network temporarily and the notice is gone. I use apple tv and an antennae anyway so it's no big deal. But christ Samsung maybe just send an email rather than harass your tv customers.
I have since reconnected my TV back to the network and instantly saw the warning again. I then blocked WAN access of the TV via my router and it is connected to my LAN only. I then disconnected my phone from my home network but on it's own internet to test if I still have internet access to my Home Assistant features to the TV online as that is via an encrypted DDNS running through my own micro-PC setup along with every other former cloud device I own, and all controlled by me. It works as it did prior to all of this trash. Now Samsung can't break what they can't connect to even if I had auto-install updates off.
I had the same problem it took me 2 days to figure it out .. go to settings then terms and privacy the click on the Online remote management service terms and conditions... scroll down and click agree .. all done š
