Hey there, fellow Hisense Smart TV owner!
If you’re like me, you use your smart TV for everything from binge-watching Netflix to streaming music and playing games.
But sometimes, those apps start misbehaving, and you might find yourself wondering how to reset them. Well, you’re in luck because I’ve got you covered.
In this blog post, I’m going to show you three essential things to know about resetting apps on your Hisense Smart TV.
Let’s get started!
1. The Basic Reset
The first thing you need to know is how to perform a basic reset of your apps.
This is like hitting the refresh button on your web browser when a webpage isn’t loading correctly.
It can help resolve minor issues like freezing or crashing apps.
Here’s how you do it:
- Press the “Home” button on your Hisense remote. This will take you to the main screen.
- Navigate to the “Settings” menu. You can usually find this by scrolling to the right or left.
- Select “System” and then choose “Advanced system settings.”
- Now, click on “Factory reset.”
- You’ll see a few options here. Choose “Reset apps.”
This process will reset all the apps on your TV to their default settings, but don’t worry, it won’t erase your personal data or preferences.
2. Force Stop and Clear Cache
Sometimes, a basic reset might not do the trick, especially if a specific app is misbehaving.
In this case, you can try force-stopping the app and clearing its cache.
This can be super effective for apps that are slow or unresponsive.
Follow these steps:
- Press the “Home” button to go to the main screen.
- Navigate to “Settings” and then select “Apps.”
- Find the troublesome app and highlight it.
- Press the options button on your remote (usually represented by three dots or lines).
- Select “Force stop” and then confirm it.
- Now, go back to the same app and choose “Storage.”
- Click on “Clear cache” to remove temporary files that might be causing issues.
This method can work wonders for improving the performance of individual apps without affecting the rest of your TV.
3. Uninstall and Reinstall
If you’re still facing problems with a particular app, it might be time to uninstall and then reinstall it.
This is like starting fresh with a clean slate and can often resolve more stubborn issues.
Here’s how you do it:
- Press the “Home” button to return to the main screen.
- Go to “Settings” and select “Apps.”
- Find the troublesome app and highlight it.
- Press the options button on your remote and choose “Uninstall.”
- Confirm the uninstallation.
- Now, head to the app store on your Hisense Smart TV and search for the app you just uninstalled.
- Download and install it as if you were installing it for the first time.
This process can be a bit more time-consuming, but it’s often the most effective way to fix persistent app issues.
