Chosen Solution

Hi, we have a few months old Samsung UA55MU8000WXXY smart curve tv and it started turning on by itself. What’s the problem with it?

I called Samsung and they suggested that it could be a faulty remote so recommended me removing the batteries before leaving the house every time, and it’s been four days it hasn’t turned on by itself. Will keep monitoring.

I had same problem with my Samsung Q765” television (2018). I have disabled the Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) feature  from settings then never happened again!

I web through the menu of Sharp Smart TV and it had the option to turn on at 2:00 AM and I disabled it. So, I shall see tomorrow if it happens again or not.

Guys you are everybody far from the real (easy) solution I found by myself. Go to your settings and in the smart settings, just deactivate the function that allows your mobile to control the TV because it automatically switch on the TV when your mobile and TV are in the same wifi range. 101% resolved! After I tried many times with Anynet+ deactivation, TV reset to factory and Samsung support… no one of these will work, just follow my suggestion above ;)

I had an issue with my samsung tv and no one was able to help. It would turn off all by itself then restart. I went on Samsung chat, a forum etc and I tried every suggestion that was given and nothing fixed it. I decided to take the back off and see if I could see anything. Bingo! On of the soft foam pads had fallen off and was pressing on some other elements/components. I removed it, put the back on and plugged it back in. Haven’t had a problem with it and it’s been over 10 months.

I just found in the tv settings option, tv turns automatically on when it recognizes hmdi connection. I have 2 devices that are connected to the tv via hmdi. After a power cut these 2 devices would turn back on which then gives the tv a signal. I have turned the option to off, see what happens after the next power cut.

When done watching for the day, just unplug it until a suitable and permanent solution can be found.

Not much you can do! Don’t use samsung tv anymore.or use a smart plug, to tell google to turn it on and off.
