For the love of... please allow me to turn off that annoying remote pointer on the tv


Recommended Posts

I haven't searched this forum, but there has to be others who find that tv remote pointer to be extremely annoying. I'm actually surprised that we still can't turn that feature off. Having the cursor/pointer feature isn't even close to the importance of being able to shut off. I mean, how hard is to put one checkbox in the ui to toggle the feature on or off? It seems like a no-brainer, big bang for the buck change that many users would appreciate

I use any of the arrow keys on my remote and the cursor/pointer disappears. Job done.

That's not a good solution, particularly when you're using another interface like Firestick because using the cursor will change something on the Firestick interface (e.g. reverse, fast-forward a movie, scrolling a page, etc). They should give the user an option to turn it off all together because it conflicts with other software. It's generally more annoying than useful anyway

I have been trying to turn the mouse pointer since I bought the TV andthere’s no real help except stupid answers like move the arrow button.

 Good luck I’m thinking about calling LG and asking or demanding they give us the ability to turn off the mouse pointer. this last update it is so much worse that I’m going to go out and buy a different remote control and it ruins how good the magic remote is. I actually like it except for the mouse pointer.

      I recently bought a 50NANO90A6B TV and so far I have to say it's a fantastic upgrade from my old Sony 40".
      However, I've one small niggle problem (only had the TV since Sunday)... The YouTube app doesn't seem to want to work! it shows the logo with a spinny circle, then the logo starts again with the spinny circle... this just repeats over and over.
      All other apps (iPlayer, Jellyfin, Plex, ITV, CH4 etc...) work as does the LGTV app, so the WiFi connection is fine!
      I've uninstalled and reinstalled the YouTube app a few times, but it does the same each time!
      Anyone know how I can sort this? any other suggestions for fixing it!
      I'm currently using my Chromecast with GoogleTV for YouTube at the moment.
      I'm in the UK by the way! And the TV is set to that, in all the relevant settings locations.

      Hello all,
      I believe this problem started after i accidently started and immediately cancelled the download of a app. After this I am unable to install or update any app evem after resetting to initial settings.
      This should be the exact problem found here https://www.lgwebos.com/topic/1918-because-i-can however the solution seems to require a new update. Help?

      Hello there!
      Recently the prime video app started to require the update to open, and now i am having a problem, because this app update REQUIRES to a system update of firmware (to webos24),
      but it will make impossible to homebrew later.
      So, can someone at least provide the last or update ipk of amazon (amazon.ipk), so i can install manually?
      Thanks!
