Samsung tv owners cry foul over glitchy firmware update 1260
Samsung's latest TV firmware update, version 1260, has left many owners in a frustrating bind. Reports have flooded in of various issues, including menus freezing, unable to access main menus, lost settings, and even image modes disappearing.
Samsung tv plus loop sparks anger
One of the most common complaints is getting stuck in Samsung TV Plus, the company's streaming service. Users have taken to social media to express their annoyance, with many claiming the issue affects multiple device models, including high-end sets.
Reddit users have also shared their experiences with the faulty update, detailing similar problems after installing firmware 1260. The widespread nature of these complaints suggests the update may be the culprit, rather than a isolated incident.
Tv functions ground to a halt
Several users have reported that after updating, they can only access certain apps using direct button inputs on their remotes. However, attempting to navigate to the main menu results in the screen freezing.
Some owners have even lost all their custom settings after attempting a factory reset, leaving them with a nearly stock TV.
This is a significant problem, as the Smart Hub is essentially the brain of a modern TV. When it malfunctions, the overall viewing experience is severely compromised.
Advice to hold off on update 1260
If you haven't yet updated to firmware 1260, experts recommend disabling automatic updates and waiting to see if Samsung releases a patch to address these issues.
If you have already updated and are experiencing problems, try a reboot, resetting the Smart Hub, or even a factory reset – though the latter may result in lost customizations.
In any case, it's best to exercise caution when installing this update until Samsung provides clarification on the matter.
For now, Samsung TV owners are left hoping the company acts quickly to resolve these glitches, as the current state leaves many viewers with a less-than-ideal viewing experience.
