changing the region made all the apps unavailable


Question

Posted

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.

That is because Georgia in in the USA. These applications for some reason are available in the country you reside in. To me that don’t make sense but, that is why this happens.

Hello, I have a similar issue regarding the LG content store region, since I live in Morocco I can't change the region or the language to any other one out of Africa. Is there anyway to change the region to United Kingdom for example, in the past when I was using an old model of LG TV (2019) I was able to do this process without any problems, but when I bought a new LG TV (2023 Model) I can't change the region to anything expect Africa. 

Can you please help me to change my TV region, Thanks

I was stuck in following scenario:

 

OLEDc277pua TV bought in USA imported in Georgia (the country). Changed code from 22282 to 3122. Did a Reset to Initial Settings. Chose Estonia as a LG services country. Created brand new Estonian LG account.

BUT... no app was opening: "this app or service is currently not available in your country". Nothing... I installed NordVPN-s SmartDNS, configured VPN to Estonia for the TV in the router itself. restarted tv with power off couple of times. But same issue, nothing was opening.. 

 

After hours of search and trying 10000 different things, Claude (AI) suggested switching 3122 (generally EU) to 3124 (Italy).

The changed happened. Then I clicked Reset to Initial Settings.

During the setup process I chose "Italy", and when setup finished, in Settings for some reason I was still seeing ESTONIA, but funny part is that now ALL APPS ARE WORKING.

I check now the network settings, its not using SmartDNS anymore as the factory reset cleared it.

I check MyIP in browser and see that VPN is actually working and uses Estonian IP Address.

Now, I do not know what helped,

1. maybe the VPN I was trying to setup was not correctly applied and needed some factory reset?

2. maybe some internal locks were removed/reset when I changed 3122 to 3124? 

anyway, I dont want to turn off vpn and test it(what if I mess it up again?), it was few hours of hell. LG Hardware is top-notch, while Software 0.1/10. 

Hope this helps somebody.

      Embracing the Spirit of “Har Ghar Appliances, Har Ghar Happiness,”
      the New Lineup Combines Design, Performance and Value for Every Indian Home

      Mumbai, Oct. 14, 2025 — LG Electronics India Ltd. (LGEIL) today unveiled the LG Essential Series, a new line of home appliances created from the ground level with Indian insights. As the company’s first major consumer initiative following the public listing of LGEIL, the Essential Series reflects LG Electronics’ (LG) renewed commitment to India – making innovation more accessible to millions of households while meeting their growing aspirations. Under the campaign slogan “Har Ghar Appliances, Har Ghar Happiness,” LG aims to enrich the lifestyles of Indian consumers by ensuring that more households experience the brand promise of Life’s Good first-hand.
      Developed after engaging with more than 1,200 families across India representing diverse demographics and lifestyles, the series is built on two core philosophies: “Made in India” and “Made for India.” Each product is designed to meet the dreams and everyday challenges of Indian consumers offering superior performance, durability and thoughtful design, all at an accessible price.
      The LG Essential Series comprises four key appliances designed for Indian households:
      Double Door Refrigerator with frost-free technology and larger vegetable storage Fully Automatic Top Load Washing Machine built to withstand local conditions like dust, humidity and low water pressure Room Air Conditioner reducing energy consumption with Energy Manager+ & Diet Mode+ Convertible Oven with Indian Auto Cook menus, air fry and convection modes for healthier, versatile cooking. “The LG Essential Series marks a new chapter in our commitment to Indian consumers, following the successful market listing of LGEIL,” said Hong-ju Jeon, managing director of LG Electronics India Ltd. “Designed from the ground-up with insights from thousands of households, this series brings together premium design and everyday reliability. It addresses the real needs of Indian families with appliances built for local conditions – enhancing convenience and enriching daily life. With this launch, LG is making Life’s Good more accessible, turning aspirations into reality across India.”
      Designed for India: Durable, Practical and Thoughtful
      Double Door Refrigerator
      Combining simplicity with premium functionality, the refrigerator offers Frost Free Technology at a reasonable price, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. Its Smart Mode automatically adjusts cooling based on seasonal changes, while a 20 percent larger (compared to previous models) vegetable storage compartment accommodates bulk grocery shopping – ideal for vegetarian households. Fully Automatic Top Loader Washing Machine:
      Built for durability in diverse Indian conditions, the washer features Low Pressure Fill technology for effective washing even at low water pressures. The ProShield Motor with BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound) Cover provides enhanced protection against dust, insects and moisture, while the IPX4-certified water-resistant control panel offers reliable operation in humid conditions. Room Air Conditioner:
      Designed for comfortable living, the product comes equipped with features like Energy Manager+ with the “You decide your bill” function, which helps consumers manage energy consumption – a key concern as many hesitate to purchase air conditioners due to high electricity costs rather than product price. The Diet Mode+ feature allows users to manage both cooling temperature and personal comfort, optimizing energy efficiency while delivering enhanced airflow. It is ideal for effectively cooling small to medium-sized spaces such as bedrooms or study rooms. Product features and specifications may vary by model. Convertible Oven:
      Inspired by India’s rich culinary traditions, the oven includes Auto Cook menus customized for local dishes like ghee, paneer and dal. Equipped with Air Fry and Convection modes, it enables healthier cooking with the convenience of modern versatility. The LG Essential series will begin its nationwide rollout in November 2025, with prices starting at approximately Rs.18,000 for entry-level models.1 The products will be available at all authorized LG brand stores, multi-brand retail outlets and major e-commerce platforms across India.2

      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

      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.

      Hello, I have a US mode 65UM7300AUE (Costco model) that I brought with me when I moved to France. I would like to be able to install apps from the French content store. 
      I can get into the service menu, but all the Country Group fields seem to be read only. Is it possible to change these?

      Thanks,
      Paul
