I have samsung galaxy S2 and samsung galaxy note 10.1 tablet... they both work flawlessly & seemlessly with this TV without the need of a 3rd party box like a roku, apple tv, wd live, etc.... There are several apps you can use with this TV to go back and forth from phone/tablet. Must haves..they all do something different...Allshare app, Samsung Smart View, Samsung Remote, Media Hub... All these apps are made and developed by Samsung Co. Itself.... It should work on other phones and maybe even on an iphone for you apple fan boys.....Any other questions, let me know....

yes we can interact with TV via mobile devices...i have been doing this on my TV.. there are various ways..1. DLNA .. if your TV and your DLNa compatible device are in the same WIFI network you can stream your videos/photos/songs from your mobile to TV.2. There are apps in android market which allow you to dual view your TV on your mobile device.. for the above 2 options you would not require any cable.3. you can connect your mobile device with the MHL cable and your screen will be displayed on TV.and all this works only when u have a android phone...i have samsung galaxy s3 and UN46ES7500 TV,. and i am able to do all of the above options yes we can interact with TV via mobile devices...i have been doing this on my TV.. there are various ways..1.

I have a fairly new Samsung Galaxy SIII and cannot get it to work. I wrote to Samsung and got an answer about 12 weeks later. It was a hard to understand reply, that basically said my mobile device was not supported. Good thing I'm absolutely in love with the picture, because the rest of the smart features on this TV aren't very smart.

If you have a newer Samsung TV you don't even have to connect it to the TV. It connects wirelessly... (or you can use cables if you want.) I have mine connected wirelessly.

Has anyone tried this yet? Thinking of getting this tv and this info would help me decide.

Hello Kathryn. I have never had any difficulty using Amazon Prime with this television? I use it frequently in fact. What issues arise for you?

Take my advice and stay away. It seems to be a hit or miss with the 1600. Mine unfortunately was a miss. Lots of quality control issues for Samsung. Amazon had an alert flag on the player right after I bought mine (figures) that they were looking into the recent complaints. I see now the alert flag is off. Never did play any blu movies. Support from overseas said that the movies were too new and I would have to wait for a firmware update. Sent it back the next day and got a Sony D360 which works great. Would really liked to have the Samsung because my TV is one and it is awsome. Oh well guess I'll just have to keep another remote around. Take my advice and stay away.

I don't know I do have a Samsung but it's not smart. However is plugs into the HMDI port of the tv and your set top box plugs into it. I found out that it works much better with Netflix if you have it hardwired to your home network (as opposed to wireless).

We need more information. Did U install the software on the Samsung and did the installation go well? Please send more details, as your Samsung does not recognize the device or the cord is bad

This is a common problem with the Samsung TV's, there are posts all over the internet about it. Fixes range from resetting the Smart Hub software to resetting the TV to factory defaults to having the mainboard in the TV replaced. I tried everything I could find (except having the mainboard replaced) and none of them worked. After hours of trying to figure out why HBOgo would work and not Netflix, I tried placing my TV's IP address in the DMZ of my router. Much to my surprise, this worked. I didn't want to leave it there, so I looked for updates to my router firmware. After updating the router firmware, I was able to take the TV out of the DMZ and Netflix continued to function. Apparently the Samsung Netflix app uses some sort of network traffic the old firmware didn't support. Before updating the router, Netflix streamed fine to my PC, Boxee Box and DVD player, but not to the TV...so I know it has to be an issue with the newer app... The Netflix setup is my only complaint about this TV, with how long Netflix has been around, you wouldn't think this would be an issue anymore.

Susan,You are correct - this is not a Smart TV. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

Ours is a Samsung smart TV and I couldn't get it to work. At all. It wouldn't connect.

I tried it with my Samsung Smart TV. Couldn't get it to work, so I returned it.

My tv was just picked up! Called Samsung and got the same response they gave you - a repairman would come out and if it couldn't be fixed it would have to be sent away for service. As you, I did not think I needed to have a brand new tv sent out for repair and decided to return it. I am now watching my old 19" set (gave my 26" away when I got the Samsung!). Have you had any luck yet? I am considering Toshiba.

i am in the same boat as you. this tv looks awesome but now it is not available. did they make a new model? if so, where can you get it?

So far I have been unsuccessful in gettting this to work. According to what I have read even the alternate Samsung QWERTY remote does not work entirely well with the interface. This seems to be extremely shortsighted engineering.

Did u try to update it ? When I first got mine , it would turn off then come back on again . Then I updated it and it stopped . Go to the samsung web site and go to tv updates . Then see if you have the latest firmware . If not , contact Samsungs costumer service . I hope this helped you out . I'm still enjoying my set .

sounds like Samsung is in bed with too many other competing services already.. like Netflix and Blockbuster. That will have to change soon though. This should be as easy as a firmware update I'd hope!

I have not managed to get it to work. I installed the latest software update on the TV, but am still getting no signal when plugging in Chromecast (CC). Have you managed to get it to work?
