LED and OLED TVsFor 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.

LED and OLED TVsI had the same message pop up on my TV last night.
There is nothing to confirm. It just appears and then disappears in a few seconds.

LED and OLED TVsIn my Samsung menu (settings) I found a place with Smarthub Autorun and unchecked that. I also reviewed the privacy settings. I use a Roku device so I'm not really using the smart part of the TV.

LED and OLED TVsOur 2020 QN55Q80 does the same, and has been displaying the message for the past 4 or 5 days. The window stays on screen for some minutes.

LED and OLED TVsHaving this issue too. I hate Samsung. I will be writing negative reviews on this product everywhere possible. Never again will I buy something from this company. Only dumb TVs from now on.

LED and OLED TVsThis is a minor inconvenience. I'm sure that it will be fixed soon. The TV is awesome and no need to consider alternatives for this random pop-up display.

LED and OLED TVsThey either fix this issue or they lose this long-time Samsung customer for good.

LED and OLED TVsSame 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!

LED and OLED TVsWow. 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
