No Apps working on 49UF6430 4K TV


Recommended Posts

My wife and daughters gave me a 49UF6430 4K TV for Christmas. None of the apps work. I've spent 7 hrs with LG Tech Support isolating the problem. Tech support has concluded that due to a software (OS?) malfunction, none of the apps recognize that the TV is successfully connected to the internet, which results in the following (erroneous) error message: "Network Error (2). The TV is not connected to the internet." This, despite the fact that the browser is operable. Tech support stated that this bug affects ALL TV's with the "UF" model designation in the 3rd and 4th character of the model number. Tech support is run by a contract Help Desk in Manilla. They assured me that they have communicated the bug to LG software support, and that a software/OS patch should be forthcoming, time/date uncertain. I thought I would give them about a week before I bundle up the whole thing, return it to Target, and pursue a Samsug purchase.

 

It seems strange to me that a glitch this big would not have been noticed by production QC. Has anyone else experienced this problem???

 

Thanks ahead for any light you can shed on this subject.

I hit the same problem, as have others (see some of the more recent threads).

 

In my (and other) case, it appears to be an issue with Comcast - with my TV connected through a T-Mobile hotspot, I was able to access the store and download apps.  However, with the TV connected through my Comcast ISP, I got the same "Network Error (2)".

 

Are you also connected through Comcast as your ISP?

Since the LG contract Helpdesk in Manila decided the only fix would have to be implemented by LG software support and sent LG a patch request request for the same, Juanita at Target Customer Service in Nicaragua recommended it was time for an exchange. I then went through a 24 hr saga of discovering at 3 different Target stores that computer inventory <> actual inventory, and that while all the computer inventory TV's were in the 49UF64xx series, none were the "6430". Turned out that the next day my local Target in Auburn, CA had a new one the had received early that morning in their regular shipment. High praise and accolades to Carolyn, AJ, & Veronica of the Auburn store for turning my vexations ordeal into a happy ending!!!!

      I'm not getting any audio from the apps via the HDMI via ARC connection to my receiver.  This occurred two weeks ago and was unable to resolve it, but ironically there was new firmware released that same day for my B6 (3/31/17) and this fixed the issue.  However, now I again can't get it working after a TV reset and tinkering with the audio settings again.  I tried to load the firmware again, but it appears this is not possible to forceable load the same firmware.

      Hello,
      A few years ago I bought a 43" LG Model 43UK6200PUA, manufactured in 2018. I'm from Canada but I purchased this TV in the US. It was a store demo unit on for a great price. I took it home to Canada, set the location to Canada and setup up in our bedroom.  It has been working fine with our Fiber TV service as well as Netflix, Amazon etc. We also to have a 60" LG TV in the living room which was purchased in Canada. This TV is similar in age to the one in the bedroom. Recently I started watching the LG channels on the living room  TV. I hadn't really paid much attention to them before but now I enjoy them. My problem is that the LG channels do not work on the bedroom TV. I suspect because it was purchased in the US but located in Canada. With the location set to Canada the LG channel guide populates and shows what's on however when I select a program I get the following message.
      LG Channels can't be serviced if a user changes 'LG Service Country' from Settings. In order to use LG Channels service, please restore 'LG Service Country' to its condition of original purchase
      So if I change the location to the US I get this message.
      Sorry, LG Channels is not available in your location. Please set your location to your current location in the settings. If you are in the service area, please visit www.lgappstv.com for help.
      As you can see the messages sort of contradict each other also the website mentioned www.lgappstv.com is not working. I suspect that the location for this TV is set to the US at some deeper level. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      On my LG 60SJ850T, Watching Horizon from AppleTV streaming service. Western with some scenes with Apache language being spoken. No subtitles appearing. When CC is on, see “foreign language being spoken”. When viewed on iPhone, there are subtitles. Have tried same movie using chrome cast TV, and casting from iPhone to Apple TV device. Never get subtitles. Verified subtitles work when I stream to same chromecast TV connected to a different TV. 
       
      reset LG TV to factory settings after trying all available CC and subtitle settings on TV. Still no subtitles.
