lg TV quick settings; edit and add new item to quick settings


Question

Posted

It is easy to add a new item to the quick settings side menu on an lg c2, as long as the item you want is shown on the list presented when you choose  the + add item.  If you want to add a "shortcut" to an item that is not on the list then how can that be done.  Is it possible to edit the list presented?

Specifically I want to add a shortcut to "subtitles on" which is buried deep in accessibility settings,  there nothing on the list of options presented to allow this.

As a partially deaf person who relies on subtitles, this would be a useful addition

There is a way around this problem(ie digging through various menu layers to turn off subtitles) but it needs a different remote which can "learn" and save a series of keystrokes (often called "macros") to achieve this with one button press.  The only ones I know of are the "one for all" remotes.  Easy to find using google search.

But it would be better if LG would reprogram their own remotes to make it unnecessary to add yet another remote.

Actually the universal remote/ macro option doesn’t work.  On my LG c2 it takes 30 keypresses to turn subtitles on, and another 4 using exit to return to the main screen.  And later another 30 plus 4 to turn them off again.  The universal remotes macro can only store a maximum of 15 key presses.

So great work lg.  Your tvs are terrific but the software to use then really sucks.  This really does need attention.

      Add the option to turn off mouse acceleration. I think I would fins it much easier to aim the pointer if I could disable it. I always disable it on computers. You can just add it next to the pointer speed setting under General > System > Additional Settings > Pointer Options
       
      Two other settings I think would make sense to have would be a setting to disable the shake-remote-to-show-pointer feature. Although I like it I can sometimes find it annoying, so why not let the users decide. I always hate it when there aren't settings for things like these.
      The other setting would be to disable the pointer completely as many users have written that they want to disable it.

      I've had Universal Control via the smart remote sucessfully controlling the audio (volume) for my LG OLED 48C1LB tv via my Sherwood RD-6118R amp for a while now; But following a power cut, the remote no longer controls the amp/tv volume?
      The audio IS still being played through the amp using the optical OUT/IN but I have no control of the volume
      I've removed and re-initialised the settings for this amp in Universal Control Settings but following the "success" message, the remote does not control the volume on the amp/tv. 
      What am I missing?

      In "CMP settings": there is a huge list of vendors, IAB and Google.
      You can deselect consent for those.
      However when you go back, in the Google consent are all still enabled.
      Reject All doesn;t work. Deselecting individually and clicking "Confirm my choices" doesn't work. The Google ones are back on.
      That's really bad, GDPR.

      When in an app, hitting home on the remote doesn't do anything. I was looking to see if there's a webOS update available, and now I see trying to open settings locks it all up. The only way to get out of an app right now or get it out of the state where trying settings locks it up is to power off and back on again.
      Things I've tried:
      1. Restart. I've tried various ways including unplugging and holding the power button on the TV for a while. I left it unplugged all night.
      2. Repair of the remote. 
      I don't know what else to try as I can't even get into settings to see if there's an update to fix this mess. Any thoughts?

      I have a Roku device attached to my LG TV model # 55UQ7570PUJ. As I’m watching something on the Roku and using my Roku remote, every now and then something that I press on that Roku remote brings up the LG ‘Select a menu item’ screenwhere AV Reset is highlighted. Any idea what could be happening here? One clue: after I press the undo button on the LG remote to get rid of that window, I find that the volume is all the way down. Maybe I’m hitting the Roku remote’s Mute button in some weird way and that brings up the ‘Select a menu item’ window?
      It’s surprising that something I press on the Roku remote brings up an LG dialog, but that’s what’s happening. Thanks for any help.
