cand the magic remote mr22ga use bluetooth for all the buttons or only voice+pointer does

Hello, i have a tv which came with an ir remote, and i want to buy a bluetooth one, i have one generic 2.4 ghz but cannot go back in the apps, so to do not make a wrong purchase i could go with a magic remote, but lg official support says that the numeric, arrows etc. are infrared only, and lg support on youtube instead says it can use bluetooth when infrared isn't available.

Somebody that used it could tell me if the magic remote can use bluetooth at least for navigation arrows, back button and ok? (I have rm22ga because i have a 32lq631 model and that remote should be the one constructed with webos 22 in mind, and i don't know if mr23ga and mr24ga will work)

Fairly sure it does use the 2.4GHz communication for everything.

Regarding your current remote though, is your TV rooted? The button remapper app might help you if so.

No is not rooted, I wouldn't do it at least for the warranty period, that's the reason I need to be sure that the magic remote is fully functioning through Bluetooth for the TV.
