Add me to the list of disillusioned LG owners.

I'm in the process of contacting support about the "This app will restart to free up more memory" problem, but apparently they have never heard of it  :wacko:

 

Although we've had the TV for over a year I've only recently started using the WebOS options, as a possible alternative to our VM TIVO. Oh dear, web searches suggest I don't hold my breath in expectation of it ever being fixed, let alone seeing any real improvements.

I have noted that TV WebOS is very slow and when you start TV it taking long time to go to any menu.   Is there any way to make it fast ?  Is there any way that it will update program guide quickly

Being LG Apps developer, I must disappoint you, but there will be no improvement in the nearest future. They have lack of staff and are very slow to even test the submitted apps, not to mention the de

If not my old TV spoilt suddenly and Sony is uncertain of its TV business back then, I wouldn't go for LG WebOS. I would have chosen Sony android TV.

Oh yes, how about waiting for an app to appear in the app store just to find out that the "WebOS 2.0 upgrade" that my TV got wasn't REALLY WebOS 2.0... It was WebOS 1.nothing.

It's the Windows Phone of TVs. Sure, it's easy to just snap in a Roku or Chomecast but the thing LG got right was the Magic Remote. Otherwise I would have ditched WebOS. Now I'm stuck with a big 70" TV that only has Plex. Lame.

Topic moved to discussion forum.  Unfortunately there have been many complaints in this forum about the webos 1 and 2 for that matter. Lg doesn't seem to be updating older TVs to webOS 3.0 and 3.5, some of that they say is because of the hardware capability.  You can try and contact them directly with update question via their contact form, it seems to work for some.

Yeah these propietary built-ins OSes are very slow and have few if any desirable apps in them.  I use Direct TV Now for my streaming channels and it is still not on the apps list either.  Just forces you to have to use Roku. Amazon Fire, ChromeCast or Apple TV box 4K to get all the usable apps.  I understand that both Samsung and LG want to built there smart TV users base but in truth it not happening like they thought.  I have Smart TV built-in in my DVD players, TVs and never ever use them because it is very limited, locks up alot and are slow too.  But the management of the both electronics manufacturers keeps plugging away, putting them in all of their video devices and not really expending much money on improving apps content nor making their OS  competetive at all with the streaming boxes.

All I want from my LG 43UJ6300 SmartTV is to automatically start Web browser and show me my one (and only one) favorite, in full screen when I turn the TV on. Is it too much to ask? I could forgive 1000 sins of WebOS if I could do this one thing. May be one of you SmartPeople know how to do it.

It's not webOS, it's your TV that sucks. I am perfectly happy with my 55UJ670V... cheap, fast, 4 seconds to boot from standby, 20 to fully boot. 10 to boot in quick start mode.
channel zapping is fast.

I see no problem whatsoever. I am just curious to see webOS 4.0 on this tv since I am still at 3.7.0 (firmware version 4.70.65)

This is a feature many people have asked for, one that the boffins at LG obviously did not think of.  It is possible that the feature will have made its way in to webOS 4, but it is anyone's guess if your current TV will be one of those that will be compatible with the upgrade.

Recording anything with the LG 'Smart ' remote is way more difficult than  recording with my Youview box. So un-intuitive that you feel that you have wasted your money. The TV is great, buy the control is rubbish and not very smart at all, as to the Web OS, well!!!

If you have 2 neurons, yes. Pressing the center button on magic remote and then select record does not seem so difficult even to monkeys.

LG TVs are absolute SH_T!!! The WiFi fails coming out-of-the-gate!   The Updates cause more issues than they resolve. CALL 'EM "DOWNDATES'  Support won't do JACK.  Their Self-promoting Xumo Ads are complete BULLSHIT!  Who needs to keep being chronically reminded of their car's features while they're using it.  I KNOW ALL ITS FEATURES!!! After several calls, their attitude is 'Oh well!'  IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN JOINING A CLASS-ACTION SUIT AGAINST THESE "INCOMPS'?  PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  Iwill be diligently searching a Legal Team.  I'm glad it's a flat screen.  At least then, when I throw it out, it'll occupy less space in the landfill!

WHAT LG REALLY STANDS FOR IS:     "LESS GOOD"!

ADAMANTLY & SINCERELY,

I just bought a brand new one. It's fast, looks nice, but their claim of "most commonly to used apps" is entirely deceptive. Tubi, Nosey, and Discovery plus, are the most used in the country and it's not even available on WebOSs "hundereds" of lame apps. You spend a thousand dollars on a smart tv and it's not even smart enough to support the most commonly used apps in the country, forcing you to invest in a separate streaming device such as Roku. Very disappointed in the deceptive advertising of this product. If it wasn't a gift for my dad who is computer illiterate I definitely would have returned it.

I am happy with WebOS. What you wrote are normal things in a new OS. It will improve in time. Make sure you have the latest firmware on your TV.

The star-up speed is improving with every firmware. This is a pc like software. So it is normal to take abit of time to start all the services. Concerning the speed in changing the channels this may be cable operator related. The issue with changing from HDMI to Live TV is not present on my set running 3.23.24. Fw.

If you like Android you should have waited a bit more. Philips is launching its android TV top line which is three times more expensive than the LG. Also will be present only on active 3d tvs.

Last, if you really dislike your tv so much give it back to the store.

Good for you, the Picture is great, the OS sucks

Hi,

After a couple of years with WebOS i will have a "dumb" TV next time and use a pc with Kodi for streaming.
One does not have decent access to the os and i do not like it when i cannot delete a channel, just move it in the list.
 

I do not know other "smart"-tv's but as an expert for computers this tv is absolutely annoying to use.

Regards,
Jan

      Sky News stopped working after the webOS update
      By Roy Brown
      webOS updated, I think to 2023, on my C2 a couple of days ago. Since then the News option on the Sky News app no longer works, instead timing out. The Weather and Climate options still work, though.
      I have deleted and reloaded the Sky News app, but the problem remains.
      Does anybody have any suggestions of what I might try to get this working again, or is this something for LG, or Sky, to fix?
