- Go to your TV’s settings by pressing the “Cog Wheel” button (that’s the one that looks like a gear) on your Hisense remote control.
- In the settings, choose “All,” then “About,” and finally, pick “Software Update.”
- Click on “Detect” to see if there’s a new firmware update available. If there is, go ahead and install it. This should make your TV and its apps work smoothly.

If you have a Hisense Android TV and you’re using the Google Play Store for apps, here’s how to update them:
- If you notice an issue with one of your Android apps, go to the Google Play Store on your TV.
- Look up the app in the Play Store. If it’s not up-to-date, you’ll see an “Update” button. Click on that to get the latest version.
Having Trouble with Google Play?
If you’re using a Hisense Android TV and can’t access the Google Play Store, it’s best to reach out to the store where you bought your TV or the company that made it. They can help you out instead of trying to use third-party apps to get the Play Store. Usually, Android devices like Hisense TVs come with Google Play already set up, so they can sort it out for you.

- First, unplug your TV from the wall. Give it a whole minute without any power.
- While you’re waiting, find your TV’s power button. It’s usually on the back, front, or sides of your TV, close to the buttons for changing channels and the volume.
- Hold down the TV’s power button for a good 30 seconds. Make sure you’re using the TV’s power button, not the one on your remote.
- After you’ve done this, your TV will do a soft reset. It’s like giving your TV a little nap and letting it reset itself.
