LG Cell Phones Reviews

I had bought an LG VX8600 cellphone for a back phone. After 6 months the phone I was using stopped working and I went to my back phone. It lasted less than 24 hours at which point the charging port broke.

Loss of tiny spring disabled my phone. I was using an LG VX9200 (aka eNV3). I had to take out the battery and a tiny spring fell out of a notch in the battery compartment and was lost. Now, the battery won't stay in place. I asked LG customer service for a spring and offered to pay for it. They said I should send it in for repair at a cost of between $40 and $100. I asked again for the spring, or for the source of it. I have been informed that they do not send out "internal parts.” I asked to have an exception made, or to have the matter taken up at a higher level and was again turned down. I am now pursuing every opportunity to tell potential LG customers of the shabby treatment I have been subjected to.

I got a new LG flip phone 2 months ago and noticed after 2 months use that the outer screen no longer showed the time and date, but had a strange design on it. I went by the Verizon store and they said to send it off and I would be issued a replacement. The phone was usable as it was, but since it had a year warranty, I did so.

I think I was fooled by LG! I just wanted to unlock my phone and for that, I'm waiting four months. Absurd!

I bought a LG Optimus MS690 2.2.2 Android phone for $135.00 on September 10, 2011. Within two hours of having this phone while browsing the internet, the phone froze and shut off. The phone continued to freeze and shut off at least ten times that day. I called the LG Company to advise them on what was happening with the cell phone since it did come with a 1-year manufacture warranty. I was asked a bunch of questions, like what I did install on the phone, in which I didn’t have time to install anything. So finally, they gave me the address to send the phone back, in which I had to pay for postage. It cost me $10.

While speaking on the LG Optimus cellphone, the mute button, and the speaker button are activated by themselves. Due to this, others can't hear me, which is very inconvenient. The speaker button goes on when I don't expect it, during a conversation. It is very painful to my ear. I do not recommend this phone to anyone! I got this phone with T-Mobile but they will not replace my phone, even though I explained to them this situation!

I purchased one LG GS290 mobile phone in Melbourne on the 18th of September 2010. The phone is not working properly now.There is some touch problem on the leftmost side of the phone. As a result of which, I'm unable to access the features present on the leftmost side of the phone .

I purchased an LG GT540 on July 8, 2011. The phone started hanging up and the application did not work properly. The phone was getting heated up and did not retain charge properly.

I bought an LG Optimus V. I can't get any 3g service. Many people online are saying that since VM is "piggybacking" off Sprint mobile, Sprint is giving priority to their "high end-high dollar" contracts, rather than "low-end" pre-payers. Also, VM is the provider to these new free 250 minutes a month cell phones via Life Line. Since this British owned company was awarded the cellular Life Line contract, the influx has overwhelmed the Brits/Sprint. Never buy a smart phone from these idiots. Their tech support is fully aware that a tower or satellite or any other part of their infrastructure is being overwhelmed. They (tech) have been instructed to blow you off as long as possible.

My daughter and I purchased the LG Envy 3 and went through 12 of them a piece before they sent us a new type of phone. Still, an LG shuts off, blacks out and won't hold a charge. When I called LG, because Verizon couldn't do anything but give me LG's number, they told me it could take up to 6-8 weeks to inspect the phone and would not send a replacement phone for the time being. Then while the phones were down or we were being sent replacement phones, Verizon continued to bill us for the service that we were unable to use. Customer service has been horrific for Verizon and LG. I will never own another LG product intentionally again. No TV's, electronics or anything. I'm very disappointed in Verizon for not backing their customers up with these issues. These phones should have been recalled.

My LG x330 Dual Sim always reboot every 10 minutes after saying "message is being sent to setting".

Renewed my contract with Verizon wireless. I purchased a new LG enV touch 11,000 and started having constant problems with it. Verizon said it had to be reprogrammed; still didn't work. Then it had to have a new program put in. It still didn't work. Finally I had to except a reconditioned one. It still does what it wants. One day you have the time showing, next day it’s gone. Today I had a hard time getting it on and when I went into the car the blue tooth and radio didn't work. I took my wireless out and it decided to call someone, so I finally got it to hang up. If you're at this site you will see many people have had the same problems and Verizon doesn't want to help you except give you a reconditioned one so you could have more problems. They should replace it with another brand free of charge, but they want you to upgrade this way all the extras like the case and charger. The car charger you bought is useless. Don’t buy LG and don't deal with Verizon.

I purchased an LG Optimus cellular phone on March 2, 2011 and it has failed. It dials and engages applications without being prompted. Phone calls are being made to contacts which I did not initiate. I paid $258.00 dollars for a phone that is only good as a light paper weight.

We purchased LG mobile and having Insurance but they are not responding properly.

I bought an LG phone model LG620G on 1/3/11 with Straight-Talk as the service provider .The speakerphone stopped working on my end. People can hear me but I can't hear them or hear ring tones or text messages. All that works is the vibration. I paid $69.00 for it and it didn't work last a month. I am very upset with it, and if Walmart doesn't give me another, I'm going to post to everyone I know on the internet and on Facebook.

My family has gone through twelve LG phones, Gravity and Cerino, in one year. The phones have the following issues: don't get on the internet and lockup, speakers fail, earpiece breaks, and screens black out. They make garbage phones. So, you have to buy the insurance. Otherwise, they don't cover anything.

I purchased an LG cell phone one month ago. The cell phone does not work, and will not turn on, and will not charge its battery. Walmart says it is out of the 30-day return period and will not resolve the problem. This phone cost $100.

I am currently using LG GD-510 and have been using the same since 8 months. However, the touch application speed has become slow. I have not added any feature nor do I store pics in the gallery, so that the memory is kept free as much as possible. But this is not helping. Kindly suggest what needs to be done so that I can make optimum use of my phone. Also, let me now from where I can purchase authentic accessories for the same.

I have purchased LG gs190 handset from Sriram Tower Hazaratganj lko. On 1 Jan 2010 and I am facing many problems in my handset. I visited mobile.com service center at least 15 times but did not received any good response.

My mobile (LG GD-510 model) screen complained not working properly so I went to the above mentioned service center at cut tack. They are given some date that day they will solve the problem like this, they are revised the date 5 to 6 times. I went to there by bus from my place to that service center. I am a working professional so every time my working day also getting spoiled to visiting service center. Even though they do not understand the problem and still they are not given any final solution.

I am on my third LG cell phone, NV 3, after having several new phones when new (always shut down). It was finally replaced with a refurbished phone and has worked for one year. Now, everybody complains they can't hear me. I can't get a new one until February 2011. I'll live with it until them since I will not spend more money on the LG phone. LG means Lousy Goods. Always remember this: Verizon does not stand behind what they sell. My next phone would be Driod X, made in the USA!

The keypad lock feature is inadequate. The phone frequently makes calls or connects to internet incurring usage charges while in my pocket with no other items present. I never had this problem with previous models. I tried to submit complain on LG's website but am unable to because some info in drop-down screens aren't related to USA. I tried calling listed #800 but automated message says number is invalid. I have to watch my wireless minutes closely & had to purchase a data package in order to prevent overage charges. I shouldn't have to be inconvenienced in this manner due to the design flaw and LG apparently does not provided any consumer support.

I have purchased a LG Cookie Pep GD510. In some days, it creates many problems. And I gave it to LG Care three times but the same problems are seen. I am very disappointed with LG services. Please help me fast.

I am now on my 6th LG mobile phone through Verizon Wireless. Like others, when the brand new $150.00 phone started shutting off and the browser crashed constantly, I was told it was a software or programming issue. After several trips back and forth, they determined I had a faulty phone. After 2 LG Dare (1 refurbished) devices that failed in the same manner, I demanded a different device. They provided me an LG Envy Touch. I am now on my 4th Envy Touch and am still having problems with the browser crashing, the phone shutting down, the external screen completely freezing up (have to pull the battery) and apps and shortcuts disappearing.

I have an LG CU515 Plum cell phone and the way it was built makes these phones hinges crack. The cell phone was faulty and the hinge cracked which means that they need to recall this cell phone. On AT&T, my provider, it's useless to ask for help on manufacturer’s issues. So I went on the forum that states that some costumers are getting there LG CU515's replaced free of charge due to poor workmanship. However when I tried, Jermel said nothing has been reported on this cell phone and I can send it to get an estimate on the costs. It’s a pure waste of time, when LG is guilty they did not try to help their customers.

I purchased an LG Envy3 cell phone three months ago and upgraded my service with Verizon. I have been with them for years. They instituted a new "contract" was oversold on the cell. The cellphone shuts off, not once but 8 to 15 times a day. I took it back and was told this was a programming problem and they could easily fix it. They downloaded and it continued. They did this several times and then told me I was out of the 30-day period. They would not change it except they can sell me a used one or I could have a rebuilt same one. Looking online, I am seeing this problem continues with the rebuilt. I was willing to pay for a new phone but they wanted to sell me at full retail, an overpriced one. They will not let me out of the contract if I use my old phone.

I purchased an LG cellular device from Verizon wireless. The phone has a defect and powers down all the time on its own. I also have a cracked screen on my phone that happened because I dropped it, this did not cause the phone to shut off. I was told by an employee of Verizon Wireless that there's an actual defect with LG that is causing the phone to shut off. LG has a warranty that replaces phone with mechanical defects which my phone has, but they refuse to provide me with a phone that's is not broken because of my cracked screen.

I have purchased my phone on 29th October 2009. That phone was defective. I have given my phone two times for repairing. Now there was the same problem again when I told for replacement at Noida service center. They have taken my phone for replacement and it's more than 4 weeks. I have not received my phone yet. I have talked to LG executors at Noida. They all are untrained executors and spoiling company's name. They don't know how to talk to customers. My suggestion is change logo from Life Good to Life Hell. My advice to everyone, never purchase the products of LG. They only know how to make customers fool. They have never tried to give customers satisfaction, yet. Please convey this message to everyone.

I have a phone, it's wine in color and it has LG on it. It is a flip phone and 3 other people I know have this same phone and all of our phones has broken at the hing part. Why don't you guys have a recall on this phone is everyone's phone is breaking at the hing? I have not had my phone that long and I don't use it a lot but this weekend I went to open my phone and it broke at the hing. I feel we should get a discount a replacement phone or get a new phone if they are all breaking at the hing.

I purchased a phone that is still under warranty. I was told that its an error of mine when I know it's not. I have had to submit 4 insurance claims to cell phone insurance company for the same problem. I have also found from my search on the internet that the LG rumor has this problem bad and they always refer it back saying it's the customers fault. I just want my phone fixed or a new phone that will not continue to break. No phone available to use. I was traveling out of town when this happened the 5th time and was driving with out a cell phone at night.

I bought an LG Chatterbox in August 2009. 4 Months down the line, I could not switch the phone off manually, the screen went all fuzzy and it had no tunes. This resulted that I had to leave the phone with Edgar's for 4-8 weeks to be repaired. I know about a few more people that has experienced the same problem. What can we do about this? We spend so much money on cellphone that stays being faulty.

I bought two LG Voyagers through Verizon for hundreds of dollars and we have had nothing but trouble.

I purchased the LG Lotus. It is a $300 phone. I got it on sale for $150. I have wanted this phone for a long time because it is a beautiful phone. I had it two months and two days and the screen went dead.

I have a tumor above my left ear which developed after the first year of cellphone use. I have used Verizon since the beginning and it was an LG. I have had 3 of them now, all LG. I want to know if there is a class action in progress, or history of any action regarding tumors.

We upgraded our phones on 9/13/08 through Sprint and also added a line. We upgraded to the LG Rumor. We started having problems with two of the Rumors, one would not hold a charge. They started turning themselves off and on, and our text messages were not being received. Sometimes, they would shut off in the middle of a conversation.I called Sprint tech support and they tried to run updates but were unsuccessful. They advised me to call LG and submit a warranty claim as we have had the phones less than a year. I called them on the 18th of August. They gave me authorization to mail in one of the phones and after that one was replaced, I would get authorization to mail in the other.

I have had many LG cell phones, but the last two are bad. First, Verizon told me that the charging port was bad, so I took my battery to my brother-in-law and charged it on his cell phone. It still did not work. I took the phone to Verizon and they then told me that the battery was bad. I tried a new battery and it still does not work. I can take a charged battery from another phone and put it in this one and it shows not charged.

My phone gets very hot when in use and battery goes dead after 2 days whether or not I use it. Also, my wife’s phone does the same thing. It’s a Motorola. Also, my friend and my neighbor, both have different phones, all have the same problem. It started when they (all companies) switched over to 3G all digital network. I believe this is the problem, not the phone or battery. Is this possible and how can it be tested?

Xenon phone broke after 3 or 4 weeks of use. The spring in the sliding Qwerty keyboard has broken. It is supposed to make the top slide easily from covering the keyboard, and it seems that the wire that holds the spring together broke. We cannot use the keyboard at all. We got a repair order in the works, but I still feel I needed to let consumers know.

I purchased my first LG Phone with Verizon Wireless in December. Six months later, my charging port stopped working. Verizon sent me a refurbished phone, after some stalling on their part. The first day I received the refurbished phone, it sounded as though I was speaking in a well. The phone also gives a warning after two minutes of talking, that the battery is overheating. It shuts off. I will be receiving my third LG replacement phone this week. My husband's LG phone doesn't keep a charge for more than two hours.

On April 5, 2009, I was sold a cell phone (LG Shine). I paid $170. Tony told me that the cell phone had a guarantee for a year. After I purchased the phone, I called LG. I gave them the model number and they told me that I was sold an international phone that did not meet for the US. So I was not covered unless I sent the phone to Europe and called long distance. The next day, I went back to the dealer. An older man took care of me. Tony said that he was busy. I told him what the problem was; he said that this was not true, that it was his business and he knew what he did. So I called LG and put them on speaker so the owner could hear.

I purchased this phone back in September. By January, the USB charge port was not working. I do not have a warranty so I just threw my money away.

We ended up asking for the phone back AS IS. They never fixed the reception problem, that resulted from the phone being defective in the first place. It is my belief that they were extorting a fee from me in order to receive my phone back in working order. It is also of note that the warranty on the phone expired the day after I brought the phone in for repair. I talked to a customer service rep, and I use that term lightly, and it was of no use. I asked to speak to a supervisor, which was also of no use. The phone has been well-taken care of and stored according to manufacturer direction. (Normal usage by only one adult)

LG Shine model cell phone, due to design using inferior materials, is prone to easy breakage of the LCD screen with normal use. The LCD screen on my phone cracked for no apparent reason within the first 45 days of use. LG denies any responsibilty for the shoddy design of this product, and offered no satisfactory remedy.
