I recently bought an 50LB650V-ZN and as they have been out for a while i assumed it woukd need updating straight away.

ive connected it to the internet and when i click check for update i get the message 'Unable to check for updates'

 

i also bought a magic remote and after about 5 minutes of using it a pop up will appear saying 'failed to update magic remote' then the magic remote will turn off and stop working until i remove the batteries and put them back in again.

 

ive asked at the shop where i bought it and they say the TV should need updating straight away as its been available for about 8 months and that the magic remote doesnt actually update, only the software on the tv will update to support the magic remote.

 

ive tried to download the software update from the lg website but cant get the files to unzip so my tv doesnt recognise the files.

 

anyone come accross this problem before or know how to fix it? any help would be appreciated

thanks

Hi

I have the same problem with a 55UB950.

That is, message "failed to update magic remote..."

After this message the magic remote button's stop working until I restart the TV or pull out the batteries from the magic remote.

I have tried to re-register the magic remote but the problem persists.

Any solution?

ive just noticed on mine that the software version on my tv is 04.33.22 and the latest software on the LG website is 04.32.20 but the TV has not been updated from when i got it out of the box.

i dont understand how my brand nw tv straight out of the box has a higher software version than the latest software update on the website. Surely a brand new TV would need updating when i first get it out of the box.

 

anyone know what software version my TV should be on when i get it out of the box and what the latest software version is?

New to this forum but i have been having the same issues since i got my 65UB950V 

 

I started having the Magic remote upgrade issues after the TV upgraded to 04.40.34 firmware that was automatically downloaded from LG servers this version was never available on the web site only 04.30.18

 

I have just downgraded the firmware to 04.30.18 and it fixed the issue the upgrading magic remote, it popped up for 3 seconds and i have not seen it again.

 

I have noticed a new version 04.36.32 on LG website published on the 31/12/14 just installed this version and everything seems ok still 

 

Just going to try 04.40.34 again to see what happens

Hi I have just recently bought a LG 42LB 630V and with this I bought the Magic Remote as part of the deal from my retailer so after setting up within 5mins I get a pop up stating failed to update magic remote do you wish to continue yes or no then my remote won't function until I remove the battery's . I have been in contact with LG about this first they said unpair the remote and pair again so I did this and still same problem so I emailed LG again and the replie I got was to send my Remote back for Testing or exchange it with your retailer. So iv exchanged it for another but still same problem . I did have a second email from LG saying I need to buy there wifi/Bluetooth dongle for this remote to work correctly then I think why well the tv has built in wifi so why do I want a additional wifi dongle ? The current software I'm running is 04.33.22 can anyone help or has any ideas please . Thanks

Like Brian, I have just carried out the procedure on a 49JL9000 TV purchased from John Lewis last week. Now works correctly, so I will let both JL and LG Customer Services know!

 

Edited: P.S. Although the magic remote now seems to operate correctly, having updated its (the TV's) software successfully, clicking on 'Check For Updates' in Settings still results in 'Unable to check for updates', which indicates that the updated software/firmware hasn't improved everything!

I've got the same problem on the John Lewis TV, but the German work around doesn't seem to be working for me. Can you tell me what version you updated to, mine is running 04.40.28 out of the box but I'm getting fed up with the magic remote failing to update. Even thinking about returning the set!

My TV updated itself to 4.41.32 some time ago and we have had no problems with the magic remote since then. Force an update and things should then work.

How do a force an update?? Tried loading the file on to a USB stick, but it didn't autorun. I have a old LG TV in my bed and managed to do that using the expert mode, but not too sure if this works on the new smart TVs..

Also, don't really know the right LG model for the John Lewis set, if anyone can help on that front.

      Problems with LG tv dropping remote and wifi
      By Trollpaw
      Hello.
      I have an issue with my tv losing connection.
      It seems like it's not uncommon for it to happen from time to time. but is has gotten worse the past couple of months. It can happen several times per day. usually when using netflix, but it can happen whenever.
      i regularly lose the bluetooth connection to my magic remote, and a lot of the times when this happens i also lose connection with the wifi, The remote is still usable, in a somewhat limited capacity(no pointer, and need to have a more clear line of sight to the tv)
      when the wifi disconnects it sometimes connects automatically, sometimes i have to manually connect it again, and sometimes the wifi function gets turned off, and can't be turned on again. usually this solves itself by putting the tv on standby and starting it again. using cable instead of wifi is not possible for the moment.
      the remote. what usually works is pulling the plug on the tv for a while, and then it functions again. sometimes it's enough just putting it in standby mode for a minute or 2. sometimes i have to unregister and re-register the remote. THere's not one thing that works all of the time, so i have to try several things, but i've found that pulling the plug usually works best.
      it's rarely enough to un-register and re-register the remote, i usually have to either put the tv in standby for a couple of minutes, or pull the plug
      it's getting very frustrating dealing with this, so i'm asking to see if anyone knows what to do as a more permanent solution. i have no issue with doing factory resets or anything like that.
       
      Thanks
      Regards
      Stoffe

      Still having issues with Flimrise app, shows Reconnecting error
      By Shadowkatt
      Watching anything on the FilmRise app, shows a “lost network connect, reconning error.  The issue is that the video is running fine behind the error, you just can’t see the top part of the screen because of it.  The answer to an earlier post was it works fine on Roku, but I don’t have that.

      55SM9000PVA TV shifted from Middel East to India now facing Logging in problems.
      By Ajay Lele
      I shifted to India from UAE with my 55SM9000PVA LG TV. Since it is a TV for the middle east, I can not change the region to India. Therefore I can not log in to my LG account and have apps from the LG content store of India. Ok, so I thought I should be able to use my account in UAE and use the apps which I used in UAE. Now these apps say the IP address is not from the region, so can't run those apps. So I am stuck up with an expensive smart TV without smartness. No service center, neither LG India have any answers to it. I hate using set top boxes please help.
