Lg WebOS Tv out of memory error

[Ajay 22]

Hi guys, i recently bought the  Lg 42LB650V and yesterday it automatically updated, and i have a problem, when i am using a app for log time, like watching video on youtube, after a while it say's me something like "Out of Memory, app closed". Please help me what can i do. It displayed this error before the update but never in the youtube app, only when browsing. and i have another problem, when i am watching a video on the web browser, after 10-15 minutes, it displays the same out of memory error, and i watched the same video on my friend's lg smart tv that hasn't got webOs, has got the old Lg smart tv OS, cinema 3d , and i watched the complete video without any error, and did lot of other stuff and didn't got the out of memory error. I bought this LG thinking that it's a new model so it will not have problems, if i can watch in the old TV, why not in the new TV. Please help me, i am very worried because i will have to change the TV because of the same error that i got in my Sony Smart TV that i returned to the store. HEEEEELP Please.

The problem was fixed ages ago, you need to update your tv.

I have exactly the same issue when watching some video over SmartShare (using DLNA connection). It was perfectly fine for a few days, but now after a few minutes of watching some medium quality content (not heavy on a bandwidth, etc) message appears: "Out of memory. App closed". Youtube works fine. Please solve this immediately!

where is this video

[chupo_cro 3]

Same here. The browser often restarts with 'Out of Memory' error. Especially when watching a video, but sometimes even it there isn't any video in the page.

[Hybr1d 5]

Video is on my computer (mac), with media server running on it and sharing content via wifi to router, router has wired connection to 55LB63. 

SmartShare crashes ("Out of memory. App is closed") after a while (~10minutes) of watching a movie, no matter how big the file is (1080p, 720p, etc...). However, if you pause it for a while, then SmartShare continues to work longer then 10minutes, but crashes later. However, SmartShare does not crash when playing the same files from USB. 

 

It used to work flawlessly for a few days, and suddenly all this came up. 

 

Any thoughts? Related to firmware update maybe (04.30.16)?

[Hybr1d 5]

Ok, it looks that there is a way around "out if memory. app is closed" message from SmartShare app.

It has been 3hrs non stop full hd movie via DLNA without any crash, here is what i did:

 

 - Fully restart media servers, I use Serviio and plex mostly), re-connect them through 'device connector' app.

 - Play the movies/media directly from 'device connector' app which directly leads to folders on media server (not the sort of compiled list of all movie/etc as SmartShare does).

 

I assume this might be a temporary solution, because when i ran SmartShare for the 1st time (6days ago) it was all fine for a couple of days and then the problems began (out of memory). Since now all is kinda newly reconnected -I'im just guessing - the TV just dumped some used memory and lets wait for couple of days to see if it stays fine.

Lg's WebOS sucks, my friend has an old lg smart tv from february 2013 with Netcast, and it works like a ferrari, and it hasn't got any bugs or problems, it also has html5 and also Flashplayer, i often go to his house and watch some online movies and it doesn't stop, and the same movie at the same webpage when i watch it, after 10 o 15 minutes it says "Out of memory, app is closed" WTF? I am non satisfied with the new WebOS, FAILED EXPERIMENT FROM LG, LIKE THE SAME HAPPENDED WITH PALM'S WEBOS, AND THEN HP'S WEBOS AND NOW WITH LG'S WEBOS.

Upgraded firmware to 04.32.20. Same problems. Nothing new.... "out of memory. app is closed"....

[Rodney Mullen 1]

same problem what I have.. smart share.. out of memory in random times.
can't wait for after christmas to bring it back this shit 50LB670V , because of some lame programer who forgot to flush the memory segments after of the usage.

I knew there was major memory leaks with this OS.  Unreal that LG hasn't patched this yet.  Shame on them.  This happens to me, when watching Netflix, Amazon, or DLNA after a few shows.  Its so bad, that I literally have to wait 10 seconds before it registers a click.  You know the only solution, turn the TV off for about 20 seconds and start again.  Basically, rebooting your TV.  Its pretty pathetic that you should have to reboot your TV after watching a few shows.

 

I have heard they are releasing WebOS 2.0 on their 2015 model TV's.  They say the OS is fast.  I certainly hope that they allow the 2014 TV's to upgrade to 2.0.

[Ajay 22]

Yes and LG doesn't beleive us either, i sayed them that my friend has a 2013 model with netcast and he can watch movies in the web browser without any problems and when i watch the same movie at the same website the tv after 5 minutes sayes out of memory, and they replied me that it's impossible that a 2013 tv with netcast works beter than a 2014 with webOS,shame on LG, they are just crazy , i'm planning to make a video comparing the 2013 tvs with 2014 and upload it on youtube to prevent people from buying tvs from LG, i'd recommendd them more Samsung, even the cheapest of their tv has a quad core processor and it has more support, LG is a dumb company.

[vikassi17 6]

I have a 2012 LG 55LM7600.  Its not WebOS, but some other OS.  It doesn't lock up like WebOS does but it isn't the fastest either.  I like WebOS better, but the memory leaks have to stop. 

 

Keep in mind that this is version 1.0.  Lets hope with 2.0 these issues are resolved.  if not, I may not purchase another LG TV.  I have been loyal to them.  I own 3 LG TV's.

[Ajay 22]

Yes, now we can only wait and hope that lg releases webos 2.0 for 2014 models

[Ajay 22]

The memory doesn't leak, it's not a material or like a liquid, the problem is that the OS itself uses too much memory and the apps apart from youtube are programmed in a way that they use memory that they cannot refresh it, the web browser is the worst of them, even if you visit a webpage with very small content , it closes due to memory error, webOS has to be fixed. The youtube app is the only that works nicely and smoothly.

[vikassi17 6]

It is a memory leak, google it. They should be able to patch that up.

How much memory does the tv have anyway?

[Ajay 22]

Ok, once i asked lg how much memory it had and thet answered me that it had 1.5 GB, i asked for 2 models and they sayed both of them had 1.5 GB.

[Ajay 22]

I have a LB650V SPAIN.

[vikassi17 6]

I have the 65UB9500 US. The iphone 6s has similar amount of memory. WebOS should function just fine with 1.5gb.

[Ajay 22]

Yes, but they also commented me that it's not a computer or a smartphone memory, so that means it doesn't automatically refresh, once the memory is full, you have to reboot the TV. I personally think that they have put a cheap and chinese RAM.

Happy NEW 2019 YEAR from LG WebOS Team - Korea.

I hope you will fix all bugs in my Ultra HD TV before end of the World.

I have a LG 42LB650V and the some problem, "out of memory app closed", crap tv!

[Dejan Fehirov 39]

Major problem from webOS 1.0 on all devices is "Out of memory. App is closed", still present in newest update but not as before. So irritating..    because of this, LG decided to update their 2015 models to webOS 2.0 which will be much faster and stable.. 

 

No update for 2014 models 

[graemejhughes 1]

Has anyone tried webOS 1.3.2-3232(afro-arches)? Is it any more stable?
