“Just finished a factory reset on my Samsung Tv thinking I was the only one having a problem … found out everyone is experiencing the same thing. Can’t wait to download all my apps and struggle to login to them because I can’t remember my passwords lol,” wrote another.

“@Samsung so my Samsung TV isnt working. The apps are not loading and I followed all the troubleshoot guide suggestions. Even reset it. Now I can agree to the terms and conditions. What's up?” wrote one.
