Keep getting this message on the top right hand corner of the TV screen

"Your Magic Remote Signal Is Unstable"

There is a ton of lag, almost to the point where the remote becomes unusable, then it snaps out of it and works fine for 2-5 seconds then the lag comes back.

 

Other support forums suggested to hold down the back arrow and the home button simultaneously until the power button on the remote blinks.  I've done this, and it re-registers the magic remote, but it does not fix the lag.

 

I have also reset the TV back to initial settings, but still the lag persists.

 

Anything else I can try?

Hello , i have the same issue with my 55UH850V , the remotes lags like crazy when i open up netflix or youtube, and then the pop up msg on the top right side "your magic remote is unstable" ,,, i have just writen on lg forum on cnet ill copy it here for you, if you have any update please let me know.

"Hello,

I have bought the latest LG 55UH850V super UHD 4K and HDR tv, all was working perfect until i started using Netflix and youtube, the remote started lagging, barely responding as if the receiver was barely getting the commands or like i was 30 meters away, so i cleared all items infront the tv (didn't work), then unpaired the remote and paired again (several times, didnt work), shut down the tv 30 seconds + removed the batteries and changed them (typical call center advises,,, didnt work) , updated firmware for tv + netflix + youtube (didnt work) and so i called LG techs in to have a look and they brought in another remote with the admin remote, nothing worked and then they took photos of the notification "your magic remote is unstable" that keeps popping on the screen because they never faced this before and they sent this to their main office for advise, they asked me to take the tv in for observation, then later they realized that the seller i bought it from doesnt cover the warranty with LG and so i have to pay for all : visit 40 usd and what they think the issue "wifi module" 190 usd which i didnt order yet... then I contacted my seller and he refused to pickup the tv for repair without a box which I discarded when i got the tv (bad move) ...

So anyone has any idea what's happening and how to fix, since i am cornered here...

Please do advise

Thanks"

I Had this problem also and found buy making sure the TV was properly turned off each time I shut it down, then the TV and Remote always connect properly.

Go to Settings / General / Quick start+ (to OFF)

This will make sure the TV turns properly off and not just goes to sleep.

This fixed the remote control issue for me....

I replaced the batteries with brand new, right from the package.  Then I registered the remote by holding the back and home button.  Lastly, I went to settings, connection, mobile tv, and made sure both settings were disabled.  Fixed the issue instantly and permanently.

      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 am having an issue with my LG OLED77C2 tv that started happening (i believe) once i have updated from web24 to 25. It seems like whenever the tv is displaying a source from any of my four HDMI inputs, while i am watching the screen goes black randomly for a few seconds and it loses audio as well during the black screen. Once this happens the audio usually comes back as soon as the image does, however not always. The audio might dissapear completely. In order to fix that i might need to power cycle the tv or unplug the hdmi input out, wait a little and then plug back in. Moreover, sometimes when the black screen flash happens it cripples most of my native apps on the tv. So if i switch to netflix or youtube right after the black screen flash, both apps populate normally all the video/film options in the main menu but when i try to actually play any of the video/films, they dont play and it is throwing an error. These black flashes never happen when i am watching netflix or youtube. Only when using my hdmi inputs. ive changed brand new high quality cables but that did not fix my issue. For the xbox i was already suing an ultra hish speed 2.1 hdmi cable but ive re placed that as well with a brand new one. ive also changed the tvs main board to a brand new and it still happening. Once the dealer changed the board, the tv was behaving normally without the issue. However after a few days i updated the tv to the latest firmware and this started happening. what do i do? 
      FYI: I tried EVERY SINGLE option to troubleshoot the issue. Disabled VRR, AMD Freesync, ALLM, HDMI Deep Colour, SIMPLINK, I basically set my tv to display video and audio in the most archaic way just to troubleshoot. Still doing it. I am using an xbox series x on input 1 and a mag520 box on input 3. Does it on both sources. Moreover, in case this helps whenever this happens while on the xbox the Dolby vision/HDR logo appears on the top right right after the video comes back once the black screen is over depending on what settings i have the xbox on. Also swapped to different inputs. Still doing it

      Last week a LG service person visited our home. After resetting our new LG TV, he went to his van and returned with a large remote controller. We asked what it was for and he told us it was to access settings that the standard controllers could not do. But would not tell us what it did.
      Do you know what it can do?

      Hi everyone,

      I’m running into a very inconsistent issue when streaming my Windows 11 PC with apollo (fork of Sunshine) to my LG C4 TV using Moonlight (webOS).
      The setup worked perfectly for about 6 months at 2K / 90 FPS with high bitrate.
      Around 2–3 weeks ago, the issue started without any clear change on the PC side (possibly after a webOS update).

      Symptoms:
      •    Moonlight on the TV shows “connection unstable” with a black screen
      •    Behavior is inconsistent and unpredictable :
      Sometimes nothing works at all with black screen Sometimes 2K / high bitrate work or not yesterday 2K didn't work but lowest resolution (1280x..) worked •    Streaming to my phone works fine, so the host PC and network seem OK

      What I’ve tried:
      •    Clean reinstall of Moonlight on the TV and Apollo/Sunshine on the PC
      •    H.264 only (no HEVC, no AV1, HDR off for testing)
      •    All bitrate / FPS / resolution combinations
      •    Ethernet and Wi-Fi
      •    Different Windows display modes
      •    Virtual display disabled
      Setup:
      •    Host PC: Windows 11, NVIDIA GPU (RTX 3070)
      •    Apollo installed on PC
      •    LG C4 TV, webOS 10.2.2, sideloaded Moonlight client (1.6.36)
      •    PC and TV tested on both Ethernet and Wi-Fi (2 gbps internet speed on my computer)
      •    Streaming to other clients (android phone) seems to work reliably

      Feel free to ask me any information needed
      Thanks for your help
