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.

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.

      For those with LG monitors with Higher than 144hz that have the new software and UI UPDATE version 03.11.22 and that have NVIDIA GPUs, here's where you can DISABLE DSC to allow the DSR factor again. UPDATED JULY 16, 2026 (07-16-26)
      By Interstellarkev
      This is for all that have LG monitors with the latest software that changed UI settings for GAME OPTIMIZER
      I could not find this anywhere on the internet for an update on what happened to the compatibility modes for DisplayPort/HDMI. Everything is outdated.
      Apparently LG updated their UI and MOVED the option for compatibility modes to disable DSC. This USED to be in the common GENERAL tab, but NO LG moved it to the External Devices, which makes no sense as it should be with the common general menu.
      I'm not sure if this is a bug or an oversight, but here it is
      SETTINGS BUTTON > GENERAL > EXTERNAL DEVICES > INPUT COMPATIBILITY
      Why would you disable DSC, you ask?
      Well, if you don't disable this mode, you will not be able to use scaling factors like DSR on NVIDIA. I have seen remarks about AMD being able to use it without this option turned off, but for NVIDIA they are behind on this.
      This WILL disable high frame rates beyond 144 Hz for the trade-off, but you will be able to scale your resolution higher.

      LG Joins SDVerse To Accelerate Software-Defined Mobility Innovation
      By News Reporter
      LG Brings AlphaWare Suite and Other Mobility Solutions to SDVerse Marketplace,
      Supporting Automakers and Suppliers to Usher in the Software-Defined Vehicle Era

      SEOUL, Oct. 23, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG), a global leader in mobility technology, has joined SDVerse, the automotive industry’s first B2B marketplace dedicated to software. By introducing its LG AlphaWare portfolio of software solutions to the platform, LG aims to support automakers and suppliers in accelerating the transition to software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
      SDVerse, founded in 2024 by General Motors, Magna and Wipro, is the first global B2B marketplace for automotive software. Designed as a “matchmaking” platform for software buyers and sellers, SDVerse shifts away from the traditional “captive” development model to one that promotes transparency, efficiency and collaboration across the value chain. Sellers can list their software solutions, while buyers can easily search, compare and explore offerings to find the right solutions.
      Supported by a consortium of industry-leading partners, SDVerse has quickly evolved into a trusted digital hub that is already reducing inefficiencies in procurement and helping to accelerate the industry-wide adoption of SDVs.
      By joining SDVerse, LG aims to deepen its cooperation with automakers and suppliers, fostering a more open and connected mobility ecosystem. With LG AlphaWare – a comprehensive portfolio designed for SDVs – LG helps automakers navigate the growing complexity of automotive software, improve reliability and security and accelerate the evolution of in-vehicle experiences.
      LG AlphaWare is organized around five key pillars – PlayWare, MetaWare, VisionWare, BaseWare and OpsWare – covering key areas from immersive in-vehicle entertainment and AR/MR navigation to intelligent driver and passenger monitoring, robust operating system support and secure lifecycle management. LG AlphaWare is symbolic of LG’s transformation into a Smart Life Solution Company – extending its innovation leadership from the home to mobility and delivering safer, smarter and more enjoyable driving experiences.
      “We are delighted to welcome LG Electronics to SDVerse,” said Prashant Gulati, CEO of SDVerse. “LG’s broad suite of mobility solutions, led by their AlphaWare suite, strengthens our platform and enables OEMs and suppliers to access technologies that simultaneously create exceptional user experiences and speed up the arrival of software-defined mobility worldwide.”
      “We are proud to introduce LG’s mobility solutions to the SDVerse marketplace,” said Eun Seok-hyun, president of LG Electronics Vehicle Solution Company. “Automotive companies today face the challenge of unifying vehicle operating systems and evolving their business models to stay competitive in the SDV era. By joining SDVerse, we can provide proven solutions that simplify integration and help accelerate innovation.”

      changing the region made all the apps unavailable
      By Luka Pantsulaia
      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.

      No apps will work - "check network connection, connection to the server is unstable -102" even though network is fine
      By ACTX111
      Title says it all.  Install a new 50 inch LG tv.  For every app and App Store it displays that message.  I have a great network and the TV is approx 30 feet from the wifi router.  It will play TV (not sure if that is coming over the air) and the phone app sees and can control the TV but not one app will work?
      Any ideas or just return it?
      Thanks

      APPS Tile Missing From LG TV WebOs - 2019 model
      By Cate-AppQuestion
      Already tried turning the TV off and on and unplugging for 10 minutes.
      There is no APPS tile in the horizontal tile row, so I can't load a third-party app like MLB.TV.
      No luck with the WebOs tile, or the LG Content Store.
      When I try the LG Content Store, and click on Apps inside that, I am only offered pre-loaded apps - 600 or so, but no MLB.TV.
      Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
