Missing onscreen keyboard

My TV is an  LG 55B6.

A lot of features require text entry on screen - for example using the webbrowser, or renaming inputs (like "HDMI3" to "Xbox").   I had expected an onscreen keyboard to appear when I'm in a mode where text entry is expected - but it doesn't.  Do I need to enable the onscreen keyboard?   Or?

TV is updated to latest firmware.

Best regards,

Michael

Update - and a resolution.

I reset the TV to initial state.  During the new setup I again chose Denmark as location. The result was depressing - still no keyboard.  I then reset the TV again, and this time choose UK as location. Now I got the keyboard. Afterwards I set location back to Denmark, and voila, keyboard is working with Location = Denmark.

Note, that Danish is a support keyboard language, and can be added under General.

      LG G2 65 turns off when using PS5
      By Richard Marchlewski
      My LG G2 bought last November has now started to turn off every 10-15 minutes when gaming on my PS5 which is directly connected.  It also from time to time identifies the PS5 as a different device (Shield TV). Any suggestions on how to fix would be welcome.

      'like' button on YouTube app
      By JonoW
      Has anyone else had the same problem as me regarding the 'like' button on the YouTube app on my Oled77g7v? There is a thumbs up button and a thumbs down button for each video. These icons are supposed to be just an outline unless you click on them and then they fill in to show you have selected them. However, this no longer works on my TV. It is as if you never clicked. In fact, the 'like' icon is always pre_filled, no matter what I do. This used to work properly and it still works correctly on a Sony TV I have. Any ideas would be very welcome!

      Searching for programs across apps using magic remote or voice control
      By Jeffrey Rapp
      I recently purchased an LG OLED48C2AUA. Frankly, I'm not pleased. The biggest problem is searching for programs, particularly across apps. For example, if I'm in Netflix, and search for a program that happens to be in Prime Video, using voice control (Alexa or LG) or the speak button on the remote, I usually get random UTube trailers or other suggestions, or no suggestions at all. It seems I have to know in advance what streaming app it's on, and even that doesn't work all the time. Before purchasing this TV, I used to be able to immediately find the program using the voice control on my Xfinity remote, or the Roku remote (if the program was on a streaming service) and my "unsmart" Sharp TV, with the input set to either cable box or Roku, as appropriate.
      I don't want to have to know in advance what app the program is streaming on to find it. I want to be able to simply say "Alexa, show me "Boardwalk Empire", no matter what program or app the TV is currently tuned to. I want the complete list of possibilities to choose from, particularly since some may be free, depending on my subscriptions. Is this possible?

      Any way to disable the screen saver?
      By StanJ
      I've seen an older thread on this topic but it doesn't look like anyone found a solution to disabling the screen saver, so I'll try a new one.
      On virtually all my LG TV's (I have three OLED's and two LCD), the screen saver interferes with my music app (like Plex, Spotify or Amazon Music). I mainly use Plex for playback of my music which is stored on a central server (NAS) and from the app loaded on a Fire TV stick or cube. After about 20-30 minutes, the album art and other related music information (lyrics, song title, duration, etc) all goes black. If I run Plex (or Spotify) directly on the LG TV via the LG Content store app, the screen saver with fireworks always comes on in about 2 minutes. 
      I've tried all the different methods to disable the screen saver function including turning off the Timers, Auto Power Off,  HDD Storage, etc. I also tried opening the hidden menus by pressing the mute button 5 times but that menu didn't have anything relevant. 
      Interesting is that the screen saver doesn't come on when using Spotify on a Fire TV stick or if I playback music through a USB device. But i don't use those methods often, mainly Plex to access my music server where I have about 500 CD's stored in ALAC format.
      Has anyone found a way to disable the screen saver function? I know the logic for having it (to prevent OLED burn in) but I'm not leaving the same image on for more than the song duration (about 3-5 minutes).  It's annoying to check the screen for the a music title or see who is on only to find a black screen looking back. Thanks for any help.
