I noticed since the last update of WebOS, it defaults to a screen with apps along the bottom rather than HDMI1 as before on startup.  Even after going into the input settings and selecting HDMI1, it stills defaults to the other screen on startup.  When selecting HDMI1 on the inputs screen, it has a red dot in the corner, which I would assumes means that's the selected default.  But again, this seems to be ignored this on startup.

Thanks.

Try this, and see if it works...

Go to Settings / Home Settings / Home Auto launch

Turn this setting OFF

Same here, had to track down a remote, Flippen annoying. Yes with my android box remote I can hit the source button and go to current HDMI port, but it was nice to just have the last used HDMI port be the default when I turn on the TV, now I gotta explain to the wifey, the new step to watching TV.... Kind of hurts the WAF

That fixed it, thank you, thank you, I looked all over for this setting, and couldn't find it...

      Soundbar volume control not visible on screen and WOWcast connection drops
      By crct
      I have a  42 inch LG OLED evo AI C4 4K Smart TV 2024 with a USE6S soundbar connected via HDMI.
      Up until a few days ago, the iPhone app was connected via WiFi. I could use it to control the sound effect.
      The sound bar remote could also change the sound effect, and the volume with the volume control visible on the TV screen.
      Now the iPhone app does not connect to the soundbar and the remote control doesn't appear to alter the volums: there's no on screen display.
      And also, the TV WOWcast output is not 'sticky': that it to say I can select it, and it remains for a time, but drops.

      LG Lauded for Latest Design Innovations at the 2025 Red Dot Design Award
      By News Reporter
      Company Wins 35 Accolades, Including Special Recognition for
      the Self-Driving AI Home Hub and LG SIGNATURE OLED T

      SEOUL, April 23, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) has been honored with a total of 35 awards, including the prestigious Best of the Best accolade, at the 2025 Red Dot Design Award. This annual award celebrates design excellence across a diverse range of categories and is widely regarded as one of the world’s top three industrial design award programs.
      Among the standout winners is the LG SIGNATURE OLED T, the world’s first wireless transparent TV, which earned the prestigious Best of the Best accolade. This groundbreaking TV allows users to switch between transparent and opaque modes at the touch of a button, opening up new possibilities for entertainment and living space design. With a 77-inch 4K OLED display, the LG SIGNATURE OLED T offers stunning picture quality, unique augmented reality-like visual experiences and the flexibility of wireless installation.
      Another highlight is LG’s Self-Driving AI Home Hub (Project name: Q9), an LG FURON-enabled smart home AI agent designed for independent navigation. This innovative product, powered by LG’s Affectionate Intelligence, was recognized with a Red Dot Design Award and also selected as a winner in the Innovative Design metacategory. The Hub can understand users and interact with them naturally, enhancing various aspects of the smart home experience to enrich everyday life. The awards jury praised its friendly, pet-like design and its ability to display different “emotions” using digitally animated eyes.
      In addition to these top honors, LG received 32 awards across a wide range of product categories, including refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, TVs, air conditioners, air purifiers, audio products, monitors and commercial robots.
      LG’s impressive performance at the Red Dot Award follows its success at the iF Design Award 2025, where it won 36 awards. Products such as the LG QNED TV, LG StanbyME 2 and the LG SIGNATURE refrigerator with Smart InstaView are now dual winners, having been recognized at both the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Award in the same year.
      “We will continue to push the boundaries of design innovation, leaning into our deep understanding of customers to deliver human-centered innovations in products, solutions and customer experiences,” said Chung Wook-jun, head of the Corporate Design Center at LG Electronics.

      Last input behavior changed after update
      By mean2
      Hello, after the last update of WebOS (6.5.0.-24) there is different behavior of returning back to previous input on my TV. When I was watching a Live TV and opened an app like Youtube, after closing it (holding the return button) it used to return to Live TV. The same with HDMI input, when I was playing on Playstation and the opened an app, after closing it it returned back to PS. Now after the update, it always go to the Home Screen when the app is closed. I only found in setting to return to last input when turning the TV on instead of Home Screen, but didn't find the same for the behavior after closing an app. Is there a way to fix it?
      Thanks

      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?
