I haven't searched this forum, but there has to be others who find that tv remote pointer to be extremely annoying. I'm actually surprised that we still can't turn that feature off. Having the cursor/pointer feature isn't even close to the importance of being able to shut off. I mean, how hard is to put one checkbox in the ui to toggle the feature on or off? It seems like a no-brainer, big bang for the buck change that many users would appreciate

Yes, any LG IR-remote will work.

As promised: After uninstalling LG SmartShare and installing Serviio (free version), and running it for 5+ days now - no problems. Looks like I found my new Windows / LG MediaServer. And the fact that it runs as a service automatically, actually makes it easier.

I contacted the local LG service center and they changed the motherboard for the TV (under warranty), hopefully the new one will work fine.

@wallyricks You may be correct that a Windows Update has made this start to occur. Both Windows 10 and 11 have been beefing up security a lot recently, to stop bad/buggy executables and apps from compromising the system. It is possible that the LG SmartShare program has "got away with it" for some time, and as you say, best to choose a better, more up-to-date app.

I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say there are more HP TouchPads left in the world than there are their matching original barrel chargers. This means if you have a TouchPad today, you’re probably using a TouchStone, a computer, or any other random USB A charging brick to (very slowly) charge your 13 year old device. And it means you’ve seen the error message in the image above every time you’ve plugged it into anything other than the original barrel charger or a computer. Fun fact, you can trick the TouchPad into charging normally and not feeding you the message by creating your own custom micro USB or USB C cable if you’ve modified your TouchPad. Stuff You’ll Need Assuming you have a micro USB (ie. non USB C modified TouchPad) you’ll need: 1. A 4-wire micro USB to USB A cable 2. 250k and 300k 1/4 watt resistors (1 each per cable) 3. Soldering iron and solder 4. Heat shrink or electrical tape If you’re making a USB C cable but only want to use it with a USB A charger then you’ll need: 1. A 4 wire USB C to USB A cable 2. Items 2-4 above If you’re making a true USB C to USB C cable that you plan to use with a USB C 3.1 charger you’ll need: 1. A 4-wire USB C cable 2. A USB C board with 5.1k resistor and the housing for it 3. Any 2-wire cable or a 4-wire cable that you’ll cut the data wires out of (green and white typically) and that you’ll cut the ends from 4. Items 2-4 from the first section above Prepare the Wires Regardless of which cable you’re making, the end that goes to the TouchPad will need all 4 wires and the resistors. So grab the 4-wire cable of your choice and strip the ends, and I recommend pre-tinning them with some solder. Build the TouchPad Side of the Cable See the image below for how to arrange the resistors. If you’re making a USB A cable, go ahead and cut into two pieces, set aside the USB A side, and grab the micro or USB C for this part.. It doesn’t matter how far away from either end you go, it’s your choice. Strip the wires back so you have enough bare wire to work with. 1. Solder the ground (black) wire to one side of the 300k resistor. 2. Solder data- (green), data+ (white), the other side of the 300k resistor and one side of the 250k resistor together. 3. Then solder the other end of the 250k resistor to the red (power) wire. Build the Charger Side of the Cable If you’re making a USB A cable, then all you have left to do is reconnect power (red) and ground (black) to their corresponding colors on the TouchPad side of the cable, trim off the data lines from the USB A side, clean it all up with some heat shrink or electrical tape and you’re done! If you’re making a USB C to USB C cable grab the USB C board I linked above and your 2-wire cable (or 4-wire that you’ve trimmed the data lines from). You’ll also have to cut the end off to make room for the new connector. 1. Pre-tin the board on the two outside pads marked as VCC and Gnd in the image below. 2. Solder on the red (power) wire to VCC and then black (ground) to Gnd. If you bought the housing and boards together, don’t forget to the housing on the wire before you start soldering. You also may need some super glue to keep the plastic housing from coming apart. 3. Back at the TouchPad side of the wire, take the other end of your 2-wire cable and attach red and black to their corresponding ends, clean it up with some heat shrink or electrical tape and you’re done! Final Thoughts You should now be able to use any charger you want to and the TouchPad will believe you’re plugged into a normal battery charger and will allow the normal charge rate flow through. Note, you’ve effectively removed the ability to use this cable for Data since the data lines are no longer connected. Also, for those who modded the TouchPad with USB C, the port already has 5.1k resistance but cannot communicate that to a USB C 3.1 charger with the added resistance on the data lines. This is why the TouchPad end of the USB C cable must be a “dumb” 4-wire USB C cable and the charger end needs the 5.1k resistance to tell the charger on that end to send power. This also means that you must remember which end is which, but don’t worry. Picking the wrong direction won’t hurt anything as the USB C charger won’t allow power since the wire doesn’t tell it to. I marked the TouchPad side of the USB C cable with a dab of orange paint pen. Finally, I hope you found this helpful or at the very least entertaining! I had fun exploring the different ways of making this work and live streamed it on Twitch so feel free to give it a watch. #webos4ever The post Guide: Create an “Original Barrel” Charging Wire for your HP TouchPad first appeared on pivotCE.

The method works on all LG models, regardless of the year, here for example - not 2024, but TVs from the latest years of production https://webos-forums.ru/post151943.html#p151943 https://webos-forums.ru/post163083.html#p163083

I'll probably return my TV because it's a tragedy, what are they doing, when you turn off the ads, the screensaver doesn't turn on after 2 minutes in the main menu, and in other applications it doesn't turn on at all...

The ability to record TV programs can be enabled by reprogramming two bytes in the EEPROM of the TV using a programmer from Aliexpress Instructions are here https://webos-forums.ru/topic3185.html

LG webos version 4.3 not supporting Sunnxt app for past 1 week. Kindly sort the issue.

II hope in a future update we are given the option to disable the annoying pointer on the Magic Remote. VERY ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!

Adaptive streaming solution above does not fix issue here, nor is it fixed by allowing the video file to buffer. Called LG Support today about issue but received no acknowledgement of issue or definitive solution. I would try factory reset but entails installing all my apps and signing into them again. For now, I am using the Silk browser on my Firestick to get around issue but this extremely frustrating that it was working before html5 came along, which I suspect contributed to this problem.

Hello, I have the same problem as of 10/29/23, before I could play videos in the browser, but after an update I could no longer, my TV model is 55UP7750PSB and the current software I have is "03.36.45" . I tried to search for previous versions of the software but didn't find any, is there a solution for this problem?

I only created this account to thank you. I was using my OLED TV with my Soundbar without problems when this occurred. I followed your steps not thinking it would help much but it worked. Thanks a lot you saved my day.

My LG web browser stopped playing videos from some websites, but not all. Finally discovered that "Adaptive Streaming using Javascript" was enabled. I disabled this setting and the problem was resolved. To change the setting, go to the web browser's "settings" menu.

I have same firmware, but if you read the faq in the web page, they say will only play on certain browsers, firefox, internet explorer etc. or could be in flash player format which webos wont play.

Yes I updated to latest update, unfortunately after few days of trying everything I can think off, I called customer support, and it turned out if you believe it or not, I bought new tv with factory broken motherboard.. Thank you for the help.
