In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about Smart Hub on Samsung TVs, but few people understand what this service is. Even now on the Internet, some consider this a Samsung proprietary shell, others – a small function or something else. It is important to correctly understand what the Smart Hub is, only then will you be able to use all its functions.
To put everything in its place, we conducted a thorough analysis of the service and are ready not only to explain its features, but also to help correct the main errors.
Samsung Smart Manager - what is it?
System application for optimizing your phone: clearing memory (ROM), clearing RAM, searching and removing viruses, clearing cache. There is a function to close background programs that significantly use the battery.
Similar in functionality to Clean Master.
Briefly about important functions:
- Clean up space by removing junk files and unnecessary programs. The main thing is that important data is not deleted.
- Cleaning RAM. Most likely, inactive applications are being unloaded from memory, or they are closed altogether.
- Clearing the cache.
- Optimizing battery performance to increase the battery life of the smart phone.

I don’t know how it is now, but there used to be a time when this application considered the Kaspersky Internet Security antivirus a threat and suggested removing it (I hope this has already been fixed):

To do this, you will need to expand “Settings”, then “Device Settings”. Then open the "Applications" section. In the “Permissions” section, go to “Storage”. On this page you can activate disabled widgets.
Phillips TVs use Android OS. This means that the software is installed from Google Play. Owners of an earlier device will need to complete a number of steps to download IPTV:

As you can see, there are four sections of the program, all of which can be optimized at once by clicking on Clear all.
The application can also show how much RAM is used and which programs are using how much of it, and with the END button you can end the work of a particular program:
How much memory is used is indicated in the RAM under each program; it also says how much the processor is loaded on the CPU. The END ALL button can be used to end all running applications.
The Memory section will allow you to clean the disk from unnecessary programs and garbage:
What’s also interesting is the inscription Powered by Clean Master, perhaps this means that cleaning occurs using the Clean Master component..
If you select the Battery section, you can find out how long the phone will last approximately; there is also an extreme energy saving function (in which, for example, the phone screen can only display grayscale):
You can scan your phone for viruses in the Device Security section (button at the very bottom):

Samsung Smart Manager - how to remove?
There is almost no information on the Internet regarding deletion. I have an opinion that this program cannot be simply removed, since it is systemic.
What can be done:
- Use Titanium Backup to freeze the application. You can also remove it with it, but I still recommend freezing it.
- You can also remove it using Lucky Patcher.
Both methods have one serious drawback - you need root rights. I do not advise beginners to get involved with root rights, since often after receiving them, problems begin with the smart device.
How to install applications on Sony Smart TV models

How to install an application on a Smart TV from a flash drive
To do this, you must first download the installation file. You can do this on your computer, then insert the removable drive into the USB connector on the TV set and begin installing the program according to the standard procedure.
This method is suitable for those who are running out of free memory on their TV device. If it is not possible to delete previously installed widgets, you should use an external storage device. Also, using a drive will help in cases where you cannot use the built-in services.
The flash drive must be previously formatted with the FAT 32 file system.
It is recommended to use reliable sources - official web resources and trusted forums where authorized users post installation files.
After copying the program to a removable drive and inserting it into the port on the side panel of the TV device, you will need to use the system explorer. There you need to find the downloaded application and install it. A notification on the TV screen will indicate the completion of the procedure.
Search through Explorer

Where can I download the application
The SmartThings smart home mobile application is installed by default on Samsung Galaxy phones. If for some reason you could not find it on your phone or you use another smartphone, then you need to install it manually:
- Smartthings app for Android on the Google Play website - you can download it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.oneconnect.
- Smartthings application with iOS operating system for Apple products - download on this site https://apps.apple.com/app/samsung-connect/id1222822904.
Facebook and other social networks
Mordokniga pays smartphone manufacturers to embed the application into the firmware. The mobile client allows you to keep up to date with your friends' events, track likes, and annoyingly notifies you about every sneeze. At the same time, it consumes a lot of resources and constantly drains the battery. Unfortunately, this infection cannot be removed in my Samsung. But you can turn it off, which I immediately did, since I don’t use this social network at all. If there is a special need, I can temporarily activate the application.
It is better to access social networks through a browser (read about this below), the reduction in functionality is insignificant, unlike battery life and unnecessary notifications. The exception is Instagram.
What applications can be disabled or deleted on Android without consequences using the example of Samsung Galaxy
You buy a new smartphone, turn it on, and a bunch of unnecessary programs are already installed.
It can be difficult to understand what these applications are for and whether they can be safely removed or disabled. When I purchased the Samsung A5 2021, out of 32 gigabytes of internal memory, about ten were free. The rest of the space was occupied by preinstalled programs. In this article I will tell you which applications can be disabled on Android without any special consequences. I will not consider removing system software, because in most cases this requires root access. If you decide to get root, the Debloater program will easily cope with the removal task. You can download it on the play market or 4pda.
I collected data on Samsung Galaxy devices (since I own one of them) into a summary table of applications that do not affect the performance of the phone (with a description). And you decide what to do with them. But disabling or removing unnecessary junk will help increase the performance of your mobile phone.
Please note that if you click the “stop” button, the program may subsequently restart automatically. And if you “disable” it, it does not restart until you turn it on manually. Some cannot be disabled or deleted.
Installing third party applications
You can install the program using a flash drive or online on the TV itself.
Note! The system requirements of the service being installed must match the OS version used on the TV. Some developers prevent the installation of widgets from unofficial sources.
To install third-party services, you can use the SammyWidgets utility, depending on the model of your TV device.
After downloading the program, you need to unpack the archive on your computer. Then download the necessary applications to the Widgets folder. In the server IP address settings on the TV, specify the values that are used on the PC.
Then enable application synchronization and wait for the process to complete. There should be a new widget on the home page that you can launch.

How to recover a deleted application
After deleting an application, there is only one way to restore it - go back to the play store or the official developer’s website and then download it. Since the data and cache have been completely deleted, no data about your account will be retained.
There is also no point in leaving data and cache in case of recovery: the presence of these files on the phone system may not allow the program to install correctly on the smartphone. To be able to download the application again, it is recommended that you completely remove all traces of it.
