This tip should work on any devices running webOS 2.0 and higher

Application database almost fullIf you have been a victim of the "Application database is full" error on your webOS device, you know what a devastating issue this can be. If you have not seen this error, consider yourself lucky. The "application database" that is referenced here is not the

on your device, but rather the internal database that was introduced in webOS 2.0 that manages a lot of data on your device. And if it gets full, there is no place to store any more data. You may get some advance warnings that will tell you to try deleting calendar entries, and even trying remove music, movies or documents from your USB drive, but most likely none of that will work and you will eventually be alerted that the database is full and you need to restart your device. And unfortunately, it doesn't make it clear that it will essentially perform an "erase apps and data" and log you out of your profile, requiring you to reactivate your device and log back in, also losing your application data and settings.  And to add insult to injury, you may log back in to your profile and still get that error once you activate it again.

Although there is no official fix from Palm/HP on this, you can always count on the homebrew community to get your back. In this case, it's Donald Kirker, webOS developer and former Intern for both HP and Palm. The problem stems from the fact that the internal partition that the database is saved to is only 135 MB big so it doesn't take a lot of data to fill this up. Donald's solution is to increase this partition by reducing the space available on the USB drive. To ensure that you don't run into this issue again, we will show you how you can extend this partition by 512 MB, but you can adjust that number up or down as needed. But be warned, you are messing around the underlying Operating System here and can cause some major problems on your device if something goes awry . You will also need to have Novacom installed on your computer and be familiar with using the Command Line. If you don’t have the webOS SDK installed on your computer to access the command line, you can always use webOS Quick Install and select "Tools" and then "Linux Commandline" to get access to it. Note that this is has only been tested on a Pre3 (including by this writer), but should work on any webOS 2.x device and possibly the TouchPad. However, before performing any actions, , both on your USB as well as any application data by using .

      LG Announces Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Financial Results
      By News Reporter
      Company Achieves Highest Annual Revenue as Home Appliances and Vehicle
      Components Continue Growth for Ninth Consecutive Year

      SEOUL, Jan. 23, 2025 — LG Electronics Inc. (LG) announced its financial results for the year 2024, disclosing a consolidated revenue of KRW 87.73 trillion and an operating profit of KRW 3.42 trillion. This marks a new record for the highest annual revenue in the company’s history.
      In terms of revenue, both the home appliances and the vehicle components business continued their growth for the ninth consecutive year, contributing to the company’s highest revenue achievement. The LG Home Entertainment Company and Business Solutions Company also saw an increase in revenue compared to the previous year.
      Operating profit experienced a slight decline compared to the previous year, primarily due to external factors such as a delayed recovery in global demand for home appliances and increased logistics costs in the second half of the year. Despite these challenges, the company maintained a stable profit structure on an annual basis. This stability was achieved through qualitative growth resulting from business portfolio restructuring and the operating leverage effect from increased sales.
      2024 Business Performance
      The LG Home Appliance & Air Solution Company reported a revenue of KRW 33.2 trillion in 2024. After surpassing KRW 30 trillion in annual revenue for the first time two years ago, the Company has continued to demonstrate sustainable performance, achieving double-digit revenue growth last year. Operating profit reached KRW 2.04 trillion, overcoming the challenges posed by increased logistics costs. This marks the first time since 2021 that the Company has exceeded KRW 2 trillion in operating profit.
      The Company’s qualitative growth was driven by changes in its business models, which include home appliance subscriptions and Direct-to-Consumer sales. Revenue from home appliance subscriptions surged by over 75 percent compared to the previous year, nearing KRW 2 trillion. In addition, the B2B segment, which includes heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, continued to expand.
      The LG Home Entertainment Company reported a revenue of KRW 15.23 trillion and an operating profit of KRW 315.9 billion in 2024. Sales of OLED TVs saw growth in regions such as Europe and Asia, driven by global sports events. Additionally, the webOS-based advertising and content business surpassed KRW 1 trillion in annual revenue.
      The LG Vehicle component Solutions Company reported a revenue of KRW 10.62 trillion in 2024, marking the second consecutive year it has surpassed KRW 10 trillion in revenue. Despite experiencing a temporary slowdown in demand for electric vehicles, the Company demonstrated stable revenue growth for the ninth consecutive year, supported by a high order backlog. However, operating profit decreased to KRW 115.7 billion compared to the previous year, primarily due to increased development costs for new order projects and R&D investments aimed at transitioning to software-defined vehicles (SDV).
      The LG Business Solutions Company reported a revenue of KRW 5.69 trillion in 2024, with an operating loss of KRW 193.1 billion. The increase in revenue was driven by a focus on customized commercial displays for sectors such as hotels, stores, businesses and schools, as well as premium IT products like the LG gram. However, the Company continued to face operating losses due to rising raw material prices for key products and intensified market competition.
      2025 Business Directions
      LG will consistently pursue qualitative growth through business portfolio innovation, despite the rapidly changing global market and competitive environment. Following the regrouping of the company’s business operation units at the end of last year, LG aims to enhance synergies between its businesses and improve operational efficiency. Additionally, LG will focus on strengthening the fundamental competitiveness of its businesses in terms of quality and cost, while securing a sound profit structure.
      The LG Home Appliance Solution Company plans to launch new products with regional specialization and AI applications, aiming to expand sales by increasing sales of its volume zone lineups. The Company will also advance its AI home solution business to achieve its goal of “Zero Labor Home, Makes Quality Time.” Additionally, the subscriptions business will actively expand beyond Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan to include Thailand, India and other regions, continuously creating new opportunities.
      The LG Media Entertainment Solution Company aims to expand sales of premium products such as OLED and QNED, while providing differentiated customer experiences through AI features. The Company will integrate operations of LG’s screen-based businesses – including TVs, IT devices and information displays – to enhance synergies between hardware and platform businesses. Additionally, webOS will be developed into an integrated content and services platform for both indoor and outdoor use through continuous content investment and partnership expansion.
      The LG Vehicle Solution Company aims to focus on going beyond a supplier of vehicle components to becoming a provider of innovative solutions for the entire vehicular experience. The Company will focus on securing SDV capabilities in preparation for the future. It will also strive to maintain stable revenue based on its order backlogs while improving profitability through product mix enhancement and overall operational improvements.
      The newly established LG Eco Solution Company aims to rapidly grow LG’s HVAC business into a global top-tier player by leveraging its core technological competitiveness in key components such as motors and compressors. The Company will focus on building locally self-sustainable production systems and developing region-specific solutions. It will provide comprehensive solutions optimized for various spaces, including industrial, commercial, public and residential facilities, ranging from large chillers to commercial and residential air conditioners.
      Earnings Conference and Conference Call
      LG Electronics will hold a Korean / English conference call on January 23, 2025, at 16:00 Korea Standard Time (07:00 GMT/UTC). Conference call participants are instructed to pre-register online to receive a private PIN. To participate in the conference call, dial +82 31 810 3130, enter passcode 6418# and then the PIN.

      LG Releases Preliminary Earnings for Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2024
      By News Reporter
      Company Sets New Record for Annual Revenue

      SEOUL, Jan. 8, 2025 — LG Electronics Inc. (LG) today announced its preliminary earnings results for the fourth quarter and full-year of 2024, reporting a consolidated revenue of KRW 87.74 trillion and an operating profit of KRW 3.43 trillion. This marks a new record for the highest annual revenue in the company’s history.
      Over the past four years, LG’s consolidated revenue has seen a compound annual growth rate of over 10 percent. The company has managed to grow while maintaining solid fundamentals amidst various external uncertainties. Strategic shifts in business models, including subscription services and Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) initiatives, have driven growth beyond the limits of its core businesses. The expansion of Business-to-Business (B2B) operations has also contributed significantly to the revenue increase.
      Despite various challenges, profitability remained stable on an annual basis. In the second half of last year, unexpected global shipping cost surges and one-time costs for inventory rationalization impacted profitability. However, the overall annual business performance showed positive qualitative growth driven by business portfolio realignment.
      In the fourth quarter of last year, LG recorded consolidated revenue of KRW 22.78 trillion and an operating profit of KRW 146.1 billion. This year, the company aims to accelerate qualitative growth through business portfolio transformation. LG will focus on strengthening fundamental competitiveness in areas such as quality and cost while maximizing efforts to secure a robust profit structure through fixed cost efficiency.
      The home appliance business, a core segment for the company, is expected to surpass KRW 30 trillion in revenue for the second consecutive year. The strategy of expanding AI appliances and volume zone lineups, along with diversifying business models to subscription and D2C, has driven solid performance. Growth in the B2B sector, including heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), built-in appliances and component solutions, continues steadily.
      LG plans to expand its subscription business to countries such as Thailand and India, in addition to existing markets like Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan. The HVAC business, which holds the largest share in LG’s home appliance B2B area, will now operate as an independent business unit to become a global top-tier, comprehensive air solutions business.
      In the TV business, despite the overall market experiencing delayed demand recovery, demand in premium markets such as Europe is gradually improving. The company’s webOS-based advertising and content business continues to expand its ecosystem across TVs, smart monitors and automotive infotainment systems. Beginning this year, the company will seek to further expand the foundations of its advertising and content business through its OLED and QNED “Dual Track” strategy in premium markets, as well as meeting market-specific demands across the globe with volume zone lineups. Additionally, in accordance with last year’s organizational restructuring, the company plans to enhance synergies between hardware and platform businesses through the integrated operation of its screen-based offerings including TVs and IT and ID products.
      The vehicle component business has experienced a temporary slowdown in demand for electric vehicles. Despite this, it has continued to achieve solid results and is on track to surpass KRW 10 trillion in revenue for the second consecutive year. The company will focus on responding to the transition to software-defined vehicles (SDV) and strengthening internal stability through profitability-centered operations.
      These figures are tentative consolidated earnings based on K-IFRS provided as a service to investors prior to LG Electronics’ final earnings results, including net profit. Details regarding each division will be announced officially later this month.

      Windows 10 - screenshare error (no confirmation button)
      By Marko00
      I've bought OLED55CX3LA and have screenshare errors ever since. 
      I'm using Dell machine with Windows 10 onboard.
      Almost every time I try to connect using "connect with remote screen" windows option, I get the pop up that
      only with cancel button.

      Sometimes there is approval button but mostly I have only "cancel" option. 
      Have this error on OLED55CX3LA and one older model. Same behavior. 

      Mobile screen sharing working perfectly fine.

      How to fix it?
      I've cleared the connection history but without any success.
      Not sure if I should put it on warranty or if there is some simple fix?
