Default input not working?

We have a 65UM7300AUE with software version 05.40.10. We have a Google TV dongle plugged into the HDMI 1 port and that is the input we use most of the time. Until recently every time we would turn the TV on it would default to HDMI 1 and the Google TV home screen would be the first thing we’d see. Life was good. Several weeks ago that changed and now the LG OS (I assume) home screen is the first thing we see. Then we have to use the LG remote to select HDMI 1 each time. We never used to have to do this or use the LG remote at all. Kind of annoying. We think we have HDMI 1 chosen as our default input but it doesn’t seem to matter. Any ideas on how we get things back to the way they used to be with the TV defaulting to HDMI 1 automatically?

100% agree. I let this upgrade go through because I thought it would fix previous WebOS UI errors/bad designs...but wow, was I ever wrong. As the original poster so succinctly stated, it is now a pain just to turn on our LG and start watching the input we had on when we turned off the tv. This is so simple folks...when power is applied to the tv, have the screen come up instantly with the  last input selected. If I want to change it, I will change it myself...but I almost never do that. I never had to use the LG remote before...now I must use it just to select the last input I was watching when I turned off the tv. I think the UI design team needs to re-think this design…it’s irritating at best.

I see that if you just turn on the tv, your last-watched input will conveniently come on 120 seconds later. Really, this is a ridiculous amount of time, especially since you can scan what is on the screen visually in 5 seconds and decide if you want any of the selections.

I reset my tv to factory to clear out all of the software updates. Worked perfectly the first time...screen came up exactly like I wanted. Then a message popped up that my 'Home Screen' was updated for my viewing pleasure or some stupid message like that. I went through the menus and don't see any way to simply turn off this updated 'Home Screen' setting. Really annoying. It is the same Home Screen display that I was getting when I had the latest software installed...so maybe Home Screen is controlled separate from the installed user software. Regardless, it is really a stupid Home Screen, and the end user should be given a chance to turn it off. I have 2 older LG TVs that I really, really like. That was the reason that I bought this one...not knowing the WEBOS rabbit hole I was getting into. Won't be going the LG route with our next tv unless LG gives the end user an option to turn off 'their' home screen and give me an option to set it as I wish...which is like their television pre-WEBOS.

Edit: To be clear, my WebOS tv is a 32LM570BPUA now running 4.10.0-12   The 'Home Setting' doesn't allow changing any of the settings that really would de-clutter the screen. Perhaps the software in some of the newer models allow this, but not in this tv that I can find.

 

Edit: Well....'something' I turned off has caused the home screen to turn off for me. I don't know what I did, but I'm not going to fiddle with it any more. This is how I've always wanted it. For those with this software version on their tv, I was in the: all settings> general > additional settings  menu and then turned off everything but the screen saver. I'm thinking turning off 'QuickStart+' is what did it for me.

I realize that, but that was the point...I shouldn't need to pick up the LG remote. I didn't have to before, but the latest 'Home Screen' update forced me to. Now I'm back where I don't have to. Petty? Maybe. I like controlling my interfaces...

This worked! Turned off QuickStart+. Life is good. Thanks so much. Whew.

I went into Settings> General > System/additional settings/Home Settings/Power On Screen. Here there are two options; select Home (for the WebOS)  or Recent Input. I selected Recent Input and that worked for me.

      LG Channels not working. Location issue.
      By jcol5786
      Hello,
      A few years ago I bought a 43" LG Model 43UK6200PUA, manufactured in 2018. I'm from Canada but I purchased this TV in the US. It was a store demo unit on for a great price. I took it home to Canada, set the location to Canada and setup up in our bedroom.  It has been working fine with our Fiber TV service as well as Netflix, Amazon etc. We also to have a 60" LG TV in the living room which was purchased in Canada. This TV is similar in age to the one in the bedroom. Recently I started watching the LG channels on the living room  TV. I hadn't really paid much attention to them before but now I enjoy them. My problem is that the LG channels do not work on the bedroom TV. I suspect because it was purchased in the US but located in Canada. With the location set to Canada the LG channel guide populates and shows what's on however when I select a program I get the following message.
      LG Channels can't be serviced if a user changes 'LG Service Country' from Settings. In order to use LG Channels service, please restore 'LG Service Country' to its condition of original purchase
      So if I change the location to the US I get this message.
      Sorry, LG Channels is not available in your location. Please set your location to your current location in the settings. If you are in the service area, please visit www.lgappstv.com for help.
      As you can see the messages sort of contradict each other also the website mentioned www.lgappstv.com is not working. I suspect that the location for this TV is set to the US at some deeper level. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      HDMI ARC - Audio Out Not Working (Again)
      By jikhead
      I'm not getting any audio from the apps via the HDMI via ARC connection to my receiver.  This occurred two weeks ago and was unable to resolve it, but ironically there was new firmware released that same day for my B6 (3/31/17) and this fixed the issue.  However, now I again can't get it working after a TV reset and tinkering with the audio settings again.  I tried to load the firmware again, but it appears this is not possible to forceable load the same firmware.

      Default audio selection is never remember on TV start
      By starwoodtech
      I have a 65 Inch LG OLED evo AI C4 4K Smart TV 2024 - Model OLED65C4PUA.ACC. here have been a many weird things happening. This is one of them:
      Whenever I turn on my TV, it doesn't remember the audio settings I chose before. I repeatedly need to set my audio for the input I am using. I ofter select APPLY TO ALL INPUTS to try and make sure it's the same regardless of which input I use, but it still reverts all changes.
      Does anyone know what this happens?

      I followed the instructions to set the default input on my TV, but every time I cold start it, it simply goes to the screen where there is a list of apps. I try to repeatedly go to the HOME app to try to set it again, even though it already shows HDMI 4 as the start up input, but it simpy goes to the default screen where my apps are listed.
      Does anyone know what it would take to set this?

      Foreign language subtitles in HDMI connected streaming devices not working
      By BGee
      On my LG 60SJ850T, Watching Horizon from AppleTV streaming service. Western with some scenes with Apache language being spoken. No subtitles appearing. When CC is on, see “foreign language being spoken”. When viewed on iPhone, there are subtitles. Have tried same movie using chrome cast TV, and casting from iPhone to Apple TV device. Never get subtitles. Verified subtitles work when I stream to same chromecast TV connected to a different TV. 
       
      reset LG TV to factory settings after trying all available CC and subtitle settings on TV. Still no subtitles.
