I was able to download Netflix and Amazon Prime using a hot spot via my phone instead of my wifi network. I was not able to upgrade them and tried removing and reinstalling.  Wouldn't do it until I tried this. It was slow but worked. Stupid that we are having the problem at all.

I am having exact same problem. Can't install apps. For example, I can't install

link hidden, please login to view
Prime from App store or download update from home app screen. 

Had the exact same problem.i just found a solution from a youtube video(well at least for my tv).The trick is to change the DNS SERVER

Go to; settings>network>Wi-Fi connection>Advanced settings > DNS SERVER>Edit then change it to 8.8.8.8

After that everything Apps started updating and installing  just fine.

Go into your network settings.

Click on whichever connection your have (wired or wireless connection )

Scroll to the bottom and select edit 

uncheck set automatically 

change the DNS server to 8.8.8.8

click connect and bam you’re good to go

      I’d love to see a new feature in the next software update where the sound mode automatically adjusts based on the app being used. For example, when opening music apps like Apple Music or Spotify, the sound mode could switch to Music Mode, and for streaming apps like Netflix or Prime Video, it could switch to Cinema Mode.This addition would make the user experience so much smoother and more convenient!

      Hello I have a 2020 LG oled 65 inch tv and I am connected to internet via wifi. I checked connections and they are all good and working. I have standard apps that came with TV installed Netflix, Disney plus ect. And now TV is saying they both need to be updated to have access to those apps. Everytime I go to update and click on update it says the app is not installed so it won't update when I look to make sure app is installed it shows they are.
      I am confused on what's going on and how to update these apps and get access to them again. 
       
      Any help would be greatly appreciated thx

      Immediately following the major LG webOS firmware upgrade last week, our OLED65G2PSA is damaged. A white line appears top to bottom of screen in from the left hand side & the tv either fails to turn on, or shuts itself down shortly after. Has anyone else had this issue & if so, has any update on a solution. (I'm waiting for LG to get it sorted. Waiting ...)

      I bought LG smart tv. for some reason region selected was Africa and could only choose from african countries and had very little available apps in content store. I live in Georgia, so figured that  changing region to EU would help so changed it to 3122 and selected service country UK because Georgia was not in the list. after that every app says that it is not available in current country. I have  default region code saved so I guess could go back but wondering if any one can help me to get it working in EU. or if anyone have region code in which Georgia is available it will be helpful as well.
