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.

I HATE HATE HATE that stupid thing. I'm glad LG doesn't make cars. They'd probably think it would be a cool idea to have your steering wheel turn into a microphone forcing you to verbally direct your car in the middle of a 3- point. Thank you, leepspvideo!!

[@yaretifordis9043]

It’s more reactive and quicker than just clicking through the menu. I don’t understand the hate the cursor gets.

[@LostSoulNo301281]

I despise this thing! I don’t use the web browser and all it does for other apps like KZbin or Amazon prime is cause endless frustration when it activates by itself. There should be an option to permanently disable this thing.

[@IMCcanTWEESTED]

@@LostSoulNo301281 It's probably not activating by itself. It's that stupid scrolling wheel in the center of the 4-way cursor control. Any movement whatsoever will activate the pointer. I fixed mine with a piece of masking tape to stop the wheel from moving

[@jamesross3921]

Ok life saver here to rescue you all. Press and hold the back button and home button for 30 seconds. Thank me later. Cursor gone!!!

[@The77Game]

To me "disable" means to turn it off so that it doesn't come back. This only makes it go away right this moment but when you least want it it will be there again. How they have not made an option to completely disable it i just don't get. I think i will be looking at getting a multi remote and code it to my tv. Then this is a thing of the past. Probably something i would have done anyway. I hate the squeaky plastic this has.

[@jeremyw.5729]

SOLUTION: Go to "accessibility" and turn on "audio guidance", this will disable the cursor and still allow you to make selections. Turn the volume to to the lowest setting. If you are using tv speakers, you'll just have to deal with it. If not, change the audio output to one that is not in use. I use headphones which receive audio from my PS4, which is completely separate form the TV speakers. Your options will depend on your audio setup.

[@Ubersnuber]

@@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. Though if you're browsing for a while, I imagine it could potentially make you go mad. Thanks for the tip!

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.

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!

[@happybeerlove]

Instead of using the 'screen off' shortcut, just turn it off at the wall. The original method worked on my c1 about 6 months ago, but just bought the cs and as soon as I press 'screen off' it re-registers the remote before turning off. I then tried switching the power off at the wall instead and it worked. Good luck

[@chrisc9645]

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.

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

[@RustyRaven]

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).

Assuming your remote came supplied in a sealed box with your TV. Try this LG Magic Remote Re-pair / Reset Fix kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHiYqoF6rsmYZpI

What about when you have to enter your unlock code. Is there anyway to disable it from being seen by the kids?

Permanent Solution: Press and hold back eturn button until power button begins flashing. Pointer will be permanently disabled and remote device unregister. You will see a message in upper right corner of TV screen. To re-enable, hold down scroll button until power button begins flashing on remote. Pointer will return. Simple, done Update: They changed their software to continue to keep consumers upset and stuck with pointer :(

I just tried it on a 2022 Q series LG. It didn’t work for me. What TV are you using?

How do I fix the remote if it just shows a red light like I think it's pressing a button and won't stop

[@leepspvideo]

Leave the batteries out for 5 minutes then replace with new batteries

@@mrbobroll534 did the remote come supplied new with the TV? Sounds like a button may be worn out and permanently on

I have 2 LG TV very close to each other in my office. I use one as a TV and one as Computer monitor, unfortunately they both react to eachother's remote control, which as you can image causes some frustrating problems. Is there any way to "remove" them for one of the TVs? The hold the Back & Home button for 5 secs does not work. Thanks

[@leepspvideo]

Not that I know of

[@victoriaseverns2115]

this remote has no "Exit" button. When you have selected a show from the Guide how do you exit the Guide so you can view the program full screen?

[@leepspvideo]

Try the back arrow

[@Osamah001]

how about disable it permanently ?

[@leepspvideo]

I haven’t found a way

[@jameschanda8743]

This is terrible advice

Voice button and cursor do not work on 2020 model lg smart tv, any ideas?

Yes but, I've just bought a LG 65NANO and even when the pointer is set to it's slowest speed, when browsing the web it's still to fast, You can't control it, it's all over the place.

[@leepspvideo]

That’s why pressing the buttons disables the pointer temporarily, move around with up, down, left, right

[@lennydylan]

@@leepspvideo hello leaps, yes I know how to disable pointer, but when your searching google , I disable pointer and move screen up and down, but you still need to turn on pointer to click on what you want to open in google, then it's moving all over place.

[@LarkLoganYourRockinRealtor]

Thank you! That bloody pointer is beyond annoying!

[@ryanmemmott4719]

If you want it turned off Permanently (It unregisters the magic part): Press and hold home and back buttons for about 10 seconds. To re-register, press center (ok) button. Works for my AN-MR198A remote

[@leepspvideo]

But it pairs as soon as you press OK which is a much used button

[@harbourdogNL]

@@leepspvideo The MOST USED button!
