Regional Factory settings on 55UF840


Question

Posted

Hello,

 

I brought a 55UF840 TV from Dubai here to Greece and i found out that there is no option to select Greece (or any European country for that matter) when selecting the country. It shows only MENA region countries. I want to download apps etc but i cannot.

 

Is there any way to either update the system settings to show European countries or a way to bypass this in order to download apps (Netflix etc?)

 

When I try to put UAE as a country and change the time as well, it shows an error and doesn't continue.

 

Any help welcome.

 

Thanks

imet

I was in a similar situation about 18 months ago. There are suggested workarounds that I found, that required purchasing a Logitec or Harmony remote control to re-programme the region setting

 

But really, its not worth all the effort and uncertainty and the best solution is simply to buy a media box with Kodi loaded and then you will be able to stream anything, and there will be more choices, not just the ones LG let you install.

      Add the option to turn off mouse acceleration. I think I would fins it much easier to aim the pointer if I could disable it. I always disable it on computers. You can just add it next to the pointer speed setting under General > System > Additional Settings > Pointer Options
       
      Two other settings I think would make sense to have would be a setting to disable the shake-remote-to-show-pointer feature. Although I like it I can sometimes find it annoying, so why not let the users decide. I always hate it when there aren't settings for things like these.
      The other setting would be to disable the pointer completely as many users have written that they want to disable it.

      I've had Universal Control via the smart remote sucessfully controlling the audio (volume) for my LG OLED 48C1LB tv via my Sherwood RD-6118R amp for a while now; But following a power cut, the remote no longer controls the amp/tv volume?
      The audio IS still being played through the amp using the optical OUT/IN but I have no control of the volume
      I've removed and re-initialised the settings for this amp in Universal Control Settings but following the "success" message, the remote does not control the volume on the amp/tv. 
      What am I missing?

      In "CMP settings": there is a huge list of vendors, IAB and Google.
      You can deselect consent for those.
      However when you go back, in the Google consent are all still enabled.
      Reject All doesn;t work. Deselecting individually and clicking "Confirm my choices" doesn't work. The Google ones are back on.
      That's really bad, GDPR.

      When in an app, hitting home on the remote doesn't do anything. I was looking to see if there's a webOS update available, and now I see trying to open settings locks it all up. The only way to get out of an app right now or get it out of the state where trying settings locks it up is to power off and back on again.
      Things I've tried:
      1. Restart. I've tried various ways including unplugging and holding the power button on the TV for a while. I left it unplugged all night.
      2. Repair of the remote. 
      I don't know what else to try as I can't even get into settings to see if there's an update to fix this mess. Any thoughts?

      Tucked in the heart of Tennessee, LG’s smart factory is a modern marvel – designed for speed, precision and innovation. At the helm is Charles Lonergan, Manufacturing Director, whose steady leadership keeps this high-tech operation running smoothly. We spent a day with Charles to learn more about his role, the technology behind the factory and what it takes to lead one of LG’s most advanced production sites.

      From Inspection to Innovation: A Day in the Life
      Charles oversees the production of LG’s front load washers, top load washers, dryers and the sleek WashTower. His day starts the same way, every day – with a walk across the factory floor.
      “Each day starts with a walk-through,” he says. “We check equipment, review workflow and make sure everything’s set to hit our production targets.” Mornings are all about quality. Charles and his team review every production line to ensure each unit meets LG’s standards. As the day goes on, meetings shift focus to what’s ahead: upcoming products, refining processes and tracking performance metrics. “No two days are exactly the same,” Charles says. “But the goal always is – run better, solve faster and never stop improving.”
      A Fully Integrated Manufacturing Ecosystem
      One of the things that makes this plant unique is how much happens under one roof. From injection molding and metal stamping to painting and packaging, nearly every part of the process is handled on-site.

      “This level of vertical integration gives us complete control over quality and timing,” Charles explains. Take the unmanned logistics warehouse, for example – it stores large, molded components and uses smart trolleys to move them through the facility. The system tracks inventory, controls curing time and ensures parts arrive at the next station right when they’re needed.
      High-Tech Meets Hands-On Training
      With a factory powered by automation – Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and AI-based inspection tools – keeping everything running smoothly takes serious know-how.

      “To support all this tech, we built hands-on training programs from the ground up,” Charles says. “That’s been key to stabilizing operations and helping our team work confidently with advanced systems.” Ongoing training is a must, especially in an industry where technology keeps evolving. The Tennessee team is making sure its skills evolve just as quickly.
      Quality Built Into Every Step
      At this factory, quality isn’t a final check – it’s built into every phase. The team uses a three-stage process: raw material checks, 100 percent inspection of each unit for function and appearance, and final sampling before shipment. AI vision systems help verify precise fastening. Multi-camera setups monitor each unit’s key checkpoints. These technologies help catch errors early, before they become issues down the line.
      Innovation From Day One
      This factory was built to be smart from the start. That gave Charles and his team the chance to design workflows around automation and robotics – rather than adding them later. Robots handle complex or physically demanding tasks. AGVs and AMRs navigate the space using QR codes and LiDAR. Workers, meanwhile, focus on higher-value responsibilities, making the whole operation more efficient and safer. “Robotics aren’t just for show,” says Charles. “They’re woven into our everyday workflow.”

      Pride in Progress: From Construction to High-Volume Production
      Charles has been with the Tennessee plant since day one – literally.
      “I’ve been here since before the first wall went up,” he says. “Now we’re producing over 300 units per hour. That’s something to be proud of.” The journey hasn’t always been easy – ramping up operations and fine-tuning quality took time. But every challenge helped the team grow stronger and more agile. “Continuous improvement is just how we operate,” Charles says. “We’re always thinking about what’s next.”
      Work, Life and Balance
      Leadership at this level is demanding – but Charles makes it a point to protect his time, both at work and at home. “I rely on daily planning, time-blocking and a strong support system,” he says. “Time with family is just as important as hitting production goals. You can’t give your best at work if things aren’t balanced outside of it.”
      Looking Ahead
      Charles’s story is part of a bigger picture – LG’s commitment to smarter, more sustainable manufacturing. With his eye on the future and a passion for progress, Charles is helping lead LG’s Tennessee Smart Factory into a new era of intelligent production.
