Hi,

I have a 2-week old S90c OLED that keeps freezing when watching movies in an app.  

I see this has been a common problem (with no solution from Samsung) on other TV’s.  Does anyone have any insight?

Is it connected wireless to the internet? What is signal level? How many bars?  The best solution is a direct connection to the cable router.

Yes connected wireless and I ran a speed test at the same time and it was fully functional.  It is not the Internet (this doesn’t happen on my other TV).

same here. It's driving me crazy. It only seems to happen on Hulu. Also, for some reason my Bose 700 soundbar randomly stops working on Hulu only.

Unhappy S90C owner here... crashes when streaming, especially live sports (soccer) on ESPN+ and Paramount+. Wireless signal is strong as the router is 20 feet away. I spoke with Samsung and Best Buy support, but no joy there.

OK, here is my take on the S90C (QN55S90CAFXZA) to be precise, which I am returning.

The picture is fantastic, wide viewing angle, and sound is good even without a sound bar.

Here is the bad:
1. The TV crashes when streaming (with multiple streaming sources). Power must be removed, and the TV turned back on to restart. Three times in the same day was too much.
2. With all the preinstalled apps (which can't be removed) the TV has 4G of memory  but only 1 gig is available for new apps, saved app data, buffering, etc. I believe this is the cause of the TV crashes.
3. About 1 gig is taken up by the device manual! If the TV doesn't work what good is an embedded manual?? It can be easily downloaded from the web to any device with a browser.
4. My final gripe is about upscaling which doesn't seem to work for SD 16x9 content. That content is displayed with black bars all the way around!! 4x3 SD content is fine (bars on the sides), and wide screen is fine as well (bars above and below).

Did you happen to test if this issue is happening only when running the app on the tv vs running it on firestick or apple tv or other external devices... reason being those external devices have more storage then the tv for that matter. Like for example my fire stick has 8gb storage compared to 4gb on the tv.

This is extremely frustrating. Our TV is also a few weeks old. It keeps freezing up on various apps for long periods of time.

This is a known issue and Samsung is nothing but worthless in addressing it. Complete crickets. I would say Samsung has absolutely horrible support, but that would imply they provide support. Time to return this dud and never look back…to Samsung.
