    I really like the LG Magic remote but Some people get distracted or confused by the pointer. The 2019 range has made it easier to immediately disable the pointer. On previous LG TV’s the pointer would come on as soon as you move the remote, this no longer happens and it’s a welcome improvement.
    This has been tested on 2019 M series LG TV’s.

    Yes, you can permanently disable this feature, but you will need for that 2 the same magic remotes.
    First step: register one magic remote with your TV (press OK).
    Second step: put that first registered remote in storage and simple use your second UNREGISTERED magic remote with your TV. Annoying pointer will never appear on your screen again.
    You can safely press all the buttons on your second remote including OK - no pointer will appear again. Enjoy!

I'm actually more of an LG guy personally cause they make their own panels and I like that but I'd rather spend double not to have that annoying "feature" that can't be disabled. Also I'm not really a big fan of their OS. Sony basically just takes an LG panel and makes it good like older LG TVs used to be. Whoever in charge at LG allowed this garbage software/firmware to ruin an otherwise flawless TV watching experience is an idiot. They have the C1 and C2, pretty much licenses to print money. I don't see what the big deal is with allowing people to disable 1 dumb feature and making their smart os stuff way better. My parents couldn't even get crave on their LG. Every other TV I've ever used can get crave without any issue. My boomer parents don't wanna use an Nvidia shield they just want their store bought TV to be able to run apps out of the box that people use. I get that it isn't Netflix we're talking about, but still. Even my brother's TCL TV can get crave out of the box lol

  • @chrisc9645
    @chrisc9645 Год назад +1

    Here is the answer you're all needing.
    First, you have to edit the quick menu options (the options you have when you press the settings button); Then, include the option "screen off" by clicking on the + button (you'll have to remove one option if there are no slots available). Press "home" to get rid of this quick menu. Unregister the remote by holding back + home. After you get the pop-up message, press the settings button to open the quick menu. From there, go to "screen off" and press the scroll wheel. You will barely see a pop-up message that the remote is being registered again, but the screen will go off. Finally, just press the scroll wheel again so the screen will turn on, and that's it. You can scroll the wheel or press the scroll wheel all you want and it won't come back. .
    Bear in mind that the scroll function will no longer work and the microphone function will also cease.

      @@jeremyw.5729 That's quite clever! Just testing with the tv's hbo app, the only thing it'll audibly respond to, is "back". So when you press play, all is normal. But if you can't get rid of the scrobble line fast enough, you will hear "back" audibly when you close it with the back button, Nothing as I feared in the main app, either; it's exactly the same.

I wouldn't have a problem with the pointer if I could fuck it off once I had selected the output, but I currently know no better way to get rid of it than to sit on the couch watching it and hating it until it rewards my patience and the discarded remote's stillness by disappearing in its own good time.

Just about yesterday, till yesterday, I've been plagued by the Magic Remote getting, um, unhinged from the TV and I'm told to hold the Guide button down for 5 seconds to re-connect the Magic Remote. Yesterday strangely, that stopped, but before that, a few times a day that happened. I complained to LG and they are going to ship a replacement Magic Remote.
    I was really pretty upset, but as you have correctly stated, the Magic remote offers both a mouse pointer like function plus a regular cursor-driven click-click function. I have to wait for some more days to see if the remote to TV pairing disconnect happens again.

    Suddenly, the magic remote pointer is not working within the amazon prime app. We have an LG OLED tv 2018. All worked fine until last night. Have done all the uninstall/reinstall, tv off/on, software updates and no fix. Amazon is referring me to LG. Do you know anything about this problem or a fix? Thank you.

    We have two magic LG remotes; the pointer appears to only work on one of them. Is this by design?

    • @RustyRaven
      @RustyRaven 2 года назад

      Found the answer…you cannot pair more than one Magic Remote at a time. However, a second un-paired Magic Remote is fully functional without pairing, with the following exceptions: 1. Communication is I/R only, not RF. 2. No onscreen cursor. However, menus can still be navigated with the four way buttons and selected with the center wheel. 3. Some third party device controls (like a Roku for example) do not work. Others (like Tivo) do work. 4. No microphone / voice recognition. Registering an un-registered remote to enable the cursor is fairly easy. Just press HOME and BACK simultaneously until the power button flashes and then release them. Then press the center wheel and the remote will be registered (and de-register the first remote). Source:

    I've just gotten a new remote (mr-500g) and after deregistering the initial remote and registering the new one, the red "pointer" dot doesn't show? We can turn the TV on and off MUCH easier, (why I bought a replacement in the first place) but only the menu comes up on the TV? No red dot to act as our pointer?
    We've been on a few trouble shooting sites, including LG and RUclips and followed their instructions but still no red dot? Any suggestions would be great please!! And a properly working remote would be AWESOME 😊😇

      Pressing the buttons allows you to move around without the pointer, although it may be reactivated if you have a tremor.
      I suggest the LG infra red remote, it works with pretty much any LG TV.

      Yes, you can permanently disable this feature, but you will need for that 2 the same magic remotes. First step: register one magic remote with your TV (press OK). Second step: put that first registered remote in storage and simple use your second UNREGISTERED magic remote with your TV. Annoying pointer will never appear on your screen again. You can safely press all the buttons on your second remote. Enjoy!
