Couple of comments:

1) I was able to update my TV using the online update feature (did not have to use USB). Try that.

2) Even after my update, I am still unable to load the FIOS APP as it is not shown when I search.

When I went to update my Samsung Smart TV this morning, I no longer had the Verizon Fios app and couldn't find it when I searched too for it.

Actually, I saw it being removed from my other TV this morning when I turned it on to get the serial number for my chat with Samsun:-) Then I had a three hour chat with Samsung and they still triied to say the same thing and then pulled the warranty bit. I finally told them that I would sell my tvs and tell my daughter to return hers and if that did not work, I was going to contact my state's attorney general's office. In any event, they agreed to send me the USB for the  40" one and I am still not sure what will happen with the other one. I had to do one at a time:-) If anyone actually has the name of a real person within that company, let me know. I will write to them. What do you folks think?

Can someone post the contents of the USB drive from Sansung somewhere so we can all get the fix without having to hire an Attorney?

Thanks for your comment here. I am not sure that will work unless one of you is more technically savy than I am:-) I downloaded the program for the little tv per their instructions and that file was corrupt. Then I read that if the USB is not placed correctly or used correctly re the TV, the whole "board" of the tv might go. I don't understand all the technology here, so if anyone else can help, that would be great.

FIOS Mobile app no longer available for Samsung Smart TV

I used to have the FIOS TV app installed on my Samsung UN50ES6900 (SmartHub) but noticed it is no longer available.  I tried to reinstall but the app no longer is available.  After troubleshooting with Samsung support I was informed that Verizon has removed the app for only select Samsung Smart TV models.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Does anyone know of other alternatives to stream FIOS Mobile to the SmartTV (ie Chromecast)?

Well, the good news is, I got my USB from Samsung, inserted it into my TV, followed the directions, and the upgrade worked.  I am now at 2002.3.  The upgrade seems to have fixed my Daily Burn app, which connects just fine now.

The bad news is, the Verizon FiOS app is still no where to be found.

So, my gym TV is back to being 50% useful.  Some progress I guess, and I hope this is a good sign that things will get worked out with the FiOS app.  Pretty sad when a (much smaller, I'm sure) company like Daily Burn can work with Samsung to get their issue fixed, but Verizon seemingly cannot.


The USB file is about 141 Mb.  I have no way to host it, but if someone sends me an option, I can upload it somewhere.

My email response as of today.

So far this appears to be usless as a solution



Thank you for contacting Samsung. With reference to your email description, I understand that you are unable to find FIOS app in your TV model UN60D7000VFXZA. I will be glad to assist you.

The FIOS app might be deleted due to the following reasons:
1. The content provider will be releasing a new version of the app and has requested the old app to be removed.
2. The content provider is having a server issue and has requested the app be removed.
3. An update to Smart Hub has created an incompatibility with the content provider’s app and Samsung has removed the app until content provider can make an update.
4. An update to the content providers app has made it incompatible with the current version of Smart Hub.

Please perform the steps given below to isolate the issue:

1.Set the country code on your Smart Hub. Follow the below steps to set the country code:

To set your country code, follow these steps:
1. Open Smart Hub.
2. Aim your remote at the TV and press the following button in order. FFbutton(>>) 2 8 9 Rwbutton(<<).
3. A country code list will appear. Use the up  and down  arrows to select your desired country, and then press ENTER .
4. Smart Hub will reset and update the app list to reflect the selected country.


2. If the issue persists, please perform the steps in the given link to reset the Smart Hub. Performing a reset to Smart Hub will return Smart Hub back to original state. By returning Smart Hub to default state you will remove all downloaded app and reload the original apps that were came on the TV. After the reset, Smart Hub will need to reconnect with Samsung server this will also force all updates to be done to Smart Hub on the TV.


To perform a reset follow these steps.

1. Press the Smart Hub button on the remote to open the Smart Hub.


2. Press the Blue  button on the remote to open the Settings menu


3. Use the ▲ or ▼ to select reset, and then press ENTER.

5. The reset of Smart Hub will be complete


6. Accept the general disclaimers and let Smart Hub load



3. If the issue persists, please check the firmware version of your TV. You can check for online firmware updates through Menu > Support > Software update > Update now. Please note that your TV should be connected to network before updating TV firmware. If the TV prompts for an update, you shall proceed with that.

4. If the firmware update is not successful through network, you shall update the firmware using the USB flash drive method. Before upgrading your TV firmware, I recommend you check the current firmware version on the TV. Using the TV's remote, follow Menu>>Support>>Contact Samsung to find the current firmware version on the TV. You will find it beside the Software version.

The latest firmware version available for your TV is 1027.1. If the current firmware version on the TV is older than ver. 1027.1, please upgrade the firmware.

These settings include all picture and sound settings, all channel menu settings including memorized channels, all clock and timer settings, and any other settings you made through the menu.
