This tip is currently only for devices running webOS 2.2.4

Export contactsYou always want to make sure that you have a backup of your critical data that you keep on your smartphone, and your contact list should be towards the top of your priority list when to comes to ensuring you have recent backup. If you use cloud-based synergy accounts for your contacts like Google Contacts, Facebook or Yahoo, you are probably less worried about having a backup since you can always go back to the source data and pull it down again. But if you use the Palm Profile or a different "local" account for your contact data, the only way to access your data is on the phone itself, and if the phone is lost or your backup gets corrupted, you run the risk of forever losing that data.  Luckily, there is a rather simple method to perform an

. This is useful to not only create a backup of your data, but also would allow you to easily migrate your data to a different service like Google Contacts.

Unfortunately, it appears that since webOS 2.1 this export does not include the "Spouse" or "Children" fields in your contacts, and the URL field is not saved with the right field type. This is obviously not ideal as you will no longer have a complete backup, nor will you be able to migrate all of your data to a different service. In order to combat this, webOS Nation forum member gizmo21 created the "Enhanced Contacts VCard Export" (available in preware) that will fix these issues when you perform an export of either a or

Currently, this patch is only available for webOS 2.2.4. If you would like to help gizmo1 test this patch for webOS 2.1 or 3.0.5, reply in the to let him know.

      LG UltraGear 27GX790A-B + RTX 4080 + NVIDIA Surround: DP 1.4 fails, DP 1.2 fixes it
      By R3V_Mario
      After spending two days troubleshooting NVIDIA Surround, I finally isolated the root cause. Hopefully this saves someone else a lot of time.
      Hardware
      • MSI RTX 4080 Ventus 3X OC
      • Windows 11
      • 2x LG UltraGear 27GX790A-B (2560x1440 OLED 480 Hz)
      • Certified DisplayPort 1.4 cables (Cable Matters VESA Certified)
      • NVIDIA drivers tested:
          - 576.52
          - 610.62
          - 610.74
      Symptoms
      NVIDIA Surround would either:
      • Display "Display connection error"
      or
      • Both monitors would lose signal immediately after enabling Surround.
      Things that DID NOT fix it
      • Clean driver installation using DDU
      • Older drivers
      • Latest drivers
      • Different DisplayPort ports
      • HDMI
      • Lowering resolution to 1920x1080
      • Lowering refresh rate to 60 Hz
      • Lowering color depth to 8-bit
      • Disabling HDR
      • Disabling G-SYNC
      • Adaptive Sync OFF
      • Adaptive Sync BASIC
      • Adaptive Sync EXTENDED
      Root Cause
      The culprit was the monitor's DisplayPort Compatibility Version.
      LG OSD
      General
      → Input Compatibility Version
      Default:
      DisplayPort 1.4
      This causes NVIDIA Surround to fail.
      Changing BOTH monitors to:
      DisplayPort 1.2
      Immediately fixes the issue.
      After switching to DP 1.2:
      • NVIDIA Surround works normally.
      • Available refresh rates become:
          - 60 Hz
          - 120 Hz
          - 144 Hz
      • 5120×1440 Surround enables successfully.
      Returning the monitors to DP 1.4 immediately reproduces the failure.
      This behavior is identical on NVIDIA drivers 576.52 and 610.74.
      Conclusion
      This appears to be a compatibility issue between NVIDIA Surround and the LG 27GX790A-B when operating in DisplayPort 1.4 mode (possibly related to DSC and/or the monitor advertising 480 Hz capability).
      For anyone wanting to use NVIDIA Surround on these monitors:
      Set BOTH monitors to:
      General
      → Input Compatibility Version
      → DisplayPort 1.2
      Then enable Surround.
      Hopefully NVIDIA and LG can investigate.
      Additional note:
      Games with native multi-monitor support should NOT use NVIDIA Surround.
      Example:
      DARIUSBURST Chronicle Saviours includes a native Dual Screen launcher and performs better using its built-in dual-screen mode than using NVIDIA Surround.
      My use case is Rocket League local split-screen.
      NVIDIA Surround allows each player to occupy a full 2560×1440 monitor instead of sharing a single monitor split down the middle.
      This workaround makes that possible.

      My 50UT80506LA LG WebOs TV does not support my office security camera system via wifi to TV. We need (gCmob app) in list of app.
      By Ramesh Chand Vishwakarma
      It is unprofessional on part of LG TV that they do not resolve the basic issue of adding app gCmob in their app store.
      My 50UT80506LA LG WebOs TV does not support my office security camera system via wifi to TV.  We need (gCmob app) in list of app.
      I can't connect my office camera via Wi-Fi to LG-TV. No body in LG TV technical team is proactive in resolving the issue of customer. They are more happy to befool the customers, rather than looking for technical solution through wider thinking.
      Please talk to you top management and make a visit to our office to understand the customers plight..
      Please respond to customers needs.

      BUG!!! Audio over ARC always muted since WebOS 5.5 update on lg-oled65c9pla
      By stevef
      Since my lg-oled65c9pla auto-updated to WebOS 5.5, there is a new bug.
      The TV is connected to my Cambridge Audio Evo 75 amplifier over ARC - on powering the TV, it has always started up the amp, and switched it to use audio, instead of the appalling TV speakers. The whole setup has worked flawlessly for 5 years, but since WebOS 5.5, the amplifier starts, but is left in a muted state, and using the un-mute or volume controls on the TV remote makes no difference to turning on audio. The only way to get audio to play though my amp a speakers is to turn the amp's volume dial or press a volume button on the a amp's remote - this then unmutes the TV and audio is back. 
      There is no setting I can find in the TV that relates to whether the ARC channel starts muted or not...
      No software has changed in my amp.  This is an annoying new bug in the TV software, I assume down to some CEC changes.
