I can’t watch Hulu on my one TV anymore and it doesn’t have Disney+ either which is total bullshit! It won’t let me just pick on my cell phone top corner and cast it to my TV either! these TV sucks I’m a sucker I bought three of them to 75 inches and  1 65 inch 4K uhd tv’s! Crap!

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.

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

      Cannot Connect to Dev Mode - Incorrect Passphrase
      By Justin Bester
      Hi

      I've been trying many different ways to connect to my TV. I have followed every guide I can find and nothing is working.
       
      Basically, the webOS Desktop Dev Manager thinks my passphrase is wrong. My passphrase is NOT wrong. I have also tried with the CLI tools but nothing works. I have NO idea what I can try further. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Latest software update broke HDMI on my LG OLED G2?
      By OliverRC
      Up until a few days ago my TV and AVR have been working perfectly since I bought it.
      Zero hassles with HDMI and connectivity.
      Then I was prompted to update to the latest software version which I did and now often when I switch HDMI (running on 1) it picks up the device name, CEC works but I get “No Signal”… and then nothing.
      Just stays on “No Signal”. It is almost as if some HDMI handshake breaks and now the driver is in a broken state.
      I’ve found that if I hard power off and power on the device sometimes works but I don’t want to do that every time especially since it’s hard to get to the power.
      This really strikes me as a software issue with the latest update as absolutely nothing else has changed in my setup.
      I’ve tried:
      Different HDMI cables (high quality) Deep colour settings Reset the TV to factory default Different HDMI ports TV
      Model: OLED65G26LA / OLED65G26LA.HFBQLWK WebOS TV Version: 8.3.0.2301 Software Version: 13.30.56 AVR & Devices
      Marantz SR5015 Nvidia Shield Pro PS5
        The setup is the conventional AVR installation as shown in the attached file

       
      Has anyone else experienced this? 
      Is it possible to revert the software update?

      App Icon Cannot Be Moved
      By Joe C
      Since the Web OS update last week, the line on the Home Screen with all my apps has changed.  Now Apps is the first one in the line.  I do not want it there, but cannot move it.  If I go to the end where it shows Edit Apps, I can click on any app to move it or delete it.  But, the Apps icon is grayed out and cannot be moved.  My neighbor has the exact same model I do -- LG OLED 653PUA -- and it is not like that on his tv.  He can move the App icon anywhere he wants.  This is very annoying as it defaults to the Apps icon when I click on Home and then I need to click to get to YouTube TV, which until the update was always first in the line.
