Is my television broken?


Question

Posted

I have a 42LB650V purchased in the last 6 weeks. After about an hour of use the television becomes completely unresponsive. A change in volume takes about 10 seconds to register. Changing channel takes 5-10 seconds to respond. Switching between inputs can take up to 30 seconds. The settings page can take up to 30 seconds to respond too. It becomes almost impossible to page through the guide. 

 

Is this normal, are other folks experiencing this? I'm sure this shouldn't be happening. 

 

I got a firmware update at the end of October and that has not made much difference. 

 

From a software perspective, it feels like a memory leak and the resulting poor performance is the OS itself trying to survive the resulting memory pressure. 

 

Any guidance is most welcome.

I got this update since some weeks on my 47LB650V, but didn't realize the better performance, cause I'm using as well a raspberry pi, so not too much the smart part of the tv.

I re enabled simplink and now I declare my self as a happy customer, works like a charm, tv is very responsive.

I recommend going for this update.

Same here, I was used to the super quick response on my old LG 47 in 550T. 

 

I see that LG are going to release a complete update for our TVs soon; A sort of 80% WebOS 2.0 see

im just repeating myself: GET A NEW ROUTER! It solved 99% "out of memory" problems! Seriously.

I used to get the "out of memory" probably 10-20 times a day using SmartShare. And now after getting new router i got the error only 3 times during 2 months after (3-4hrs) long hours of youtube when switched to SmartShare. 

 

GET A NEW ROUTER and 'out of memory. app is closed' problem is SOLVED. LG TVs dont communicate well with older routers, and that is fine.

      Everytime when we are watching a program we like very much.
      Suddenly appears on the left side of the screen some Recommended content.
      It takes too great part of the screen, and besides that the content it shows is not what we like too.
      I closed my account on the telly, but still it shows up every day.
      I can not find a solution for it.

      Youtube only lets you type numbers, and not letters. Amazon doesn't let you type anything unless you use the really really really slow onscreen keyboard. It's ruining the tv experience. Can't search for topics or shows without the slow drugery of the slow remote and onscreen keyboard.
       
      Is something ms configured or is WebOs really this awful?

      I can’t use my remote with the new update. 17. Something I think?
      OK my 55” is a few years old but it was working fine until an automatic update on an unsupported TV! I mean, why update unsupported tv’s with untested software? 
      Planned obsolescence - making us upgrade? Well, it’s the last LG telly I will buy for sure

      The Wi-Fi module in my LG TV, roughly 5 or six years old, (WebOS UJ6300) is apparently broken.  I am looking for a solution cheaper and maybe more interesting than having the TV repaired.  There are devices which will pick up Wi-Fi, convert it to ethernet, and deliver it to the male  part of an ethernet port.  In the past I have used such a device to provide Wi-Fi support to a desktop computer which did not have Wi-Fi support but did have an ethernet port.  I forget the particulars, but it did work just fine. But a smart TV with Web 0S is not a desktop or laptop computer.  My concern is how to provide the SSID and password to the device.  My vague recollection is that such a device in a laptop or desktop computer can trigger a dialogue which requests the SSID and password.  But will web OS provide such a dialogue?  If I recall correctly, wired ethernet connections do not require SSIDs or passwords.
       
      Thanks,  Bob

      Hi,
      If you are going to sell televisions in Canada then your syustem should have access to the hockey app like SportsNet; this is rediculous!
