Best solution I have found. Download a screen share app / Tv cast when you sync your phone to Tv and play a movie or tv show via the Tv share app on Tv it dose not crash.  Works 100%

Thank you very much Ang because I believe it was your suggestion that solved mine problem !!!Just in case someone wants to follow my steps resolving this super frustrating situation this is what I did :

My tv model LG OLED55B7V, bought it 2 months ago , started crashing Netflix app again and again ...

 

1) turned off FAST STANDBY/OPEN

2) turned off WIFI , I have only Ethernet

3) did factory reset 

And still the same ....😫😫😫

...but then I did what Ang suggested and voila!!! Problem solved . I watched a full episode of OZARK and Netflix app was fine .

I will report back if anything goes south the rest of the day ...

thanx again Ang!!

I'm having the same issue with version 04.30.70,  LGwebostv uh6035 is the model information that i got off the tv.

For me, it was crashing out when i had an Apple TV connected to the HDMI 1 (i had to resort to watching netflix via the apple tv since when i used the built in app on the tv, it would crash)

But now, even when an app isn't used, and it's just on HDMI1 it crashed with the same error.

I called support and they suggested that i do a reset. i did that and i then tried using it again, and so far i haven't had any issues. The apps take a while to launch, but that's about it. I'm going to keep an eye on it, and call "advanced technical support" if it still doesn't work.

This is SO annoying.

Just got our 50UH5500 set up yesterday, was looking forward to streaming The Americans straight from FX website.  Gave up after about 5 of these "App will restart" crashes.  And finished  watching on the iPad. Not going to put up with this, will happily return and let Best Buy sell it open box to some other sucker.  Where is the LG support input on this forum?  I'm brand new as of today, but is it just us b****ing at each other (WITH each other??)??

What reset? A factory default reset? How to do the reset? Thanks for the info.

I'd also like to know this!

Yes, a default factory reset to the TV. Go to the settings button on your control (gear icon)>all settings>general>reset to initial settings.

It's been a few months since my post and i haven't had it crash out on me since.

I also had this issue with my 65sj850v model. it is brand new 2017 model actually. I turned off Quickstart+(I am not sure the exact name of it), Delete unuse app.

Connect Lan instead Wi-Fi. All solution was not helpful.

My issue was only happened when I was using Web Browsing and watching movie clip.  And I realize that it was happening only few specific web page made by Java. I thought this problem comes from that web page. since I am not using this webpage and not accessing. Problem is not happening again.

I'm having the same issue and I would love to take some of the advice posted by resetting to factory. The problem is I can't keep the settings open long enough to reset. I keep getting that same message "this app will restart to free up more memory". It's very frustrating. I've always been a fan of LG but this isn't making me love the product at all. 

Does anyone have any other ways I can clear my memory. I own a 55UJ6300.

I have the same issue with LG 43UJ630V  when playing YouTube via WebOS and it is really annoying. Fortunately I also have a Roku streaming stick with YouTube and all the other apps and this works perfectly so far but it would be good if LG could fix their WebOS or TV software bug. As always with these companies the usual advice to 'reset' never works it just means having to set up the TV all over again.  So far very disappointed with this WebOS , the guide takes forever to load and cannot be clicked to show  genres. Trying to freeze picture just triggers the 'cannot record to this storage device' error even though it does manage to record to USB stick via record button or guide. Even my 5 year old Toshiba could record to USB storage so LG are years behind with this. I have also removed/deleted all the unwanted 'apps' I never use hoping this might 'free up some memory' but it hasn't. Anything else I could try - apart from buying Panasonic?

I had this same behavior when the TV would try to update to the latest firmware (This app will now restart...).  The issue was that my home firewall was blocking access to the LG servers.  Temporarily turning off the web filter/firewall allowed the update to progress without issue.  I'd suggest that LG check to see if the download servers are available and print out an appropriate message in there next update.

Just got off the phone to lg support. I was told the web browser shuts down when attempting to stream video ON PURPOSE! Furthermore, once you stream anything from the internet, the cache fills up, does not clear, and prevents the installed apps from functioning properly.  I was told that the OS is a web browser NOT a web streaming service and if they allow customers access to stream video they will be in breach of their contractual agreement to the companies who have apps on the TV. This clearly doesn't happen on tablets or phones, so their logic for creating a sub par product is utter bollocks. I specifically asked the salesman if I could stream video from the internet and was told absolutely yes. When I pointed this out to Lg customer service they re-iterated that a web browser does not confir the ability to stream video. This is misleading the customer, and effectively censoring and filtering internet content.  This must stop!

No solution as far as I know - other than buying a reliable TV of course - LG support are useless on this issue, suggestions to disable Quick Start+ don't work. Neither does holding Home, Close App etc. From my correspondence with these 'support' people I believe there is no solution while LG use this old WebOs phone app. Seems that LG are OK with screen tech but rubbish with the software to make TV's 'smart'.  Send it back & get a refund because it does not do what they advertise it as being able to do. 

By the way just got another YouTube update for my WebOs TV and it just makes the 'restart' problem worse - so clearly no tech liaison with Google about this either which indicates LG just don't care.

I'm happy to support and collaborate with anyone who wants to file a complaint to trading standards. I specifically told the customer assistant to be sure to record the conversation as I expected many more complaints to arise, and  believed a law suit is in the not to distant future for LG. 

Guidelines from trading standards; You should report a company to Trading Standards if, for example: they misled you into buying their products or services. 

Fill out this form and mention Trading Standards. You should describe the problem and name the company. Take screen shots of all the complaints in this forum to include as evidence.

Thanks for the replies of 15th January - your time and input much appreciated.

I have checked YouTube works via screen share/WiFi from my mobile

Also checked on dads TV that Roku box works fine also.

Hence I conclude there is a lack of physical memory installed on LG TVs - i.e. a design fault and product does not meet 'Smart' TV operating requirements.

I will speak to Tesco (bought online) and see their thoughts and then post back on here.

Hello inbloomwithyou,

I had the same issue with my LG  UJ6300.

I took some advice I read on this site and I reset my tv from factory settings and went in and turned off the Quick Start. Sertings/General/Quick Start (toggle to off). I haven’t had a problem with this since. 

Also important to note that when i used my cable remote to turn off the tv it doesn’t actually turn the tv off. I find when I turn the tv off using it’s remote it clears the cache. 

Hope this helps. :)

I have two LGWebOSTV's  and have had no trouble with them after more than 1 year and a couple of firmware updates. Both are decently configured with smart apps. I began having this issue however after I added a new WiFi AP to me LAN and set up my LivingRM LGTV to access the AP as a secondary connection capability. Then I started seeing this issue with the "Restarting APP to Free Up Memory" over and over again.  After reviewing the settings and restarting the TV several times the problem persisted. I then went back to the network settings and realized that BOT the Wired AND WiFI Connections were enabled, therefore, in MY Mind, there were TWO (2) instances of the LGWebOSTV running simultaneously and competing for the Memory available to run their tasks. I disabled the WiFi Connection and the "Out of Memory" issue went away!!

  • JohnV: Interesting and definitely something else owners with this issue can easily check for. In my case I went into settings\network\wi-fi and made sure  that wi-fi was disabled. Although I noted that that would also disable the Wi-Fi Direct option which may be important to some people.
  • I have left set connected via ethernet and will monitor YouTube etc. for crashes meanwhile.

      By News Reporter
      Features Seamless Integration With LG StanbyME Screens’ UX/UI and Sound System
      to Enhance Home Entertainment or Works Effectively as a Highly Portable Speaker

      SEOUL, Mar. 8, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) announces the global launch of the LG StanbyME Speaker (model XT7S), the company’s latest portable speaker which works in harmony with an LG StanbyME lifestyle screen or as a standalone speaker that can be taken anywhere.
      Designed to enrich both indoor and outdoor entertainment, LG StanbyME Speaker’s compelling audio quality and remarkable versatility caters to the diverse lifestyles and preferences of today’s users. Ideal for design-conscious individuals who relish streaming content and music at home or on the go, this speaker hit the market in Korea and the U.S. and will be made available in more regions later.

This allows users to effortlessly toggle their speaker and screen on and off with a single press, while also seamlessly connecting them via Bluetooth. LG StanbyME also boasts a dedicated widget with convenient one-stop control center and an overview of the speaker’s status.
      To further elevate audio-visual pleasure through audio quality, LG StanbyME Speaker’s WOW Orchestra feature combines it with the StanbyME screen’s built-in audio system, creating a unified audio setup and delivering an outstanding sound experience. What’s more, LG StanbyME’s α (Alpha) 7 Gen 6 AI processor optimizes sound by content type, while the 20-millimeter dual tweeters on the StanbyME speaker deliver clear, highly detailed high frequency stereo sound. The dual passive radiator on this speaker also creates deeper, more compelling bass.
      Offering multifaceted versatility, the all-new StanbyME speaker can seamlessly complement the StanbyME screen or be used as a standalone speaker anywhere, providing users with the remarkable level of flexibility that serves all their sound entertainment needs. Thanks to a dedicated cradle, the speaker attaches to LG StanbyME effortlessly, allowing users to place it in the perfect position for enhanced sound.
      Moreover, with an IPX5 rating and up to 16 hours of playback, this portable speaker ensures consistent audio performance everywhere they go. With its compact and lightweight body (78-millimeter height, 326-millimeter width, 87-millimeter depth and 0.9 kilograms), LG StanbyME Speaker can be carried from one place to another with ease, while its ‘edge lighting’ feature offers eye-pleasing lighting effects that add a subtle yet visually captivating element to lift the mood and atmosphere of any setting or occasion.

      Add support for more Codecs
      By imadous
      Hi everyone, 
      I wish LG would consider updating their Codecs list or at least give us a way of installing this codecs in our TV manually. i know my TV is capable of playing a lot of stuff but i'm always stuck with "not supported" for most of the media i have. 
      One of the most wished stuff i'd love to see is 
      Added support for H.264 10bit (still very popular and used a lot) 
      as well as Opus codecs (its a Free codec and its getting a lot use recently especially with H.265 MKV videos) 
      Like i said, please add this codecs and more or at least give us a way of doing it ourselves. i know there might be legal issues and some codecs are payed, so just let us install it ourselves instead. 
      Thanks.
