Crave not working on my Samsung TV: Troubleshooting Methods
If Crave isn’t working on your Samsung TV, try these quick fixes:
- Make sure that your Samsung TV model is compatible with Crave. Crave supports Samsung TV 2017 or later models.
- Restart your TV by unplugging it for 30 seconds. Sometimes, due to heavy traffic, the Crave app gets stuck, and the only solution is to restart your TV.
- Check your internet connection. Crave requires at least 2 Mbps internet speed to work properly. However, based on my experience, it’s better to have a minimum 5 Mbps connection to get a hassle-free streaming experience with Crave.
- Check if you are using the latest version of the Crave app. After updating the app, check whether it’s started working again or not.
- Make sure that your Samsung TV OS is up-to-date. To check if the update is available: navigate to Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now.
FAQs
Yes, if your Samsung TV is a 2017 model or newer, you can download and use the Crave app.
Simply search for Crave in the Apps section of TV, select it, and click Install.
It might be due to software issues, app glitches, or network problems. Restarting your TV or reinstalling the app usually resolves this.
You can add apps using external devices like Chromecast, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, gaming consoles such as PlayStation and Xbox or by screen mirroring from a smartphone or tablet.
