  1. this is the worst phone at and t sells i have had it for a year and the buttons on the frount have compleatly fallen of

  3. @themadhatter,

    i have an lgneon phone and your glitch worked.

    thank you so so much. if i could give kudos or cookies or beer or something i would. you just made my day!

    also: i’m on at&t so this glitch works. and my revision is a bit newer, so it’s all good. i dont think they’ve patched/fixed it, they probably dont even know about it.

  4. To set i ringtone people say to go to the camera button on the side and then it’s supposed to go to an option menu. i just got mine 2day and i don’t know what i did bcuz it used to do that and now it doesn’t. How do i fix it so that it will go to another menu and not straight to the camera?

  5. Hey everyone, wouldn’t it be nice to not have to use the supplied headset cord with this phone? Well what about a Bluetooth headset to listen to your tunes?

    I stumbled upon something today when trying to figure out if I could play my MP3s on my Bluetooth headset with this phone. Granted I found a way after a few hours tinkering.

    You will not be able to listen to your radio as the cord of the ear buds has an integrated antenna but heres how it works:

    1.Start up your phone nomally.
    2.Make sure your Bluetooth headset is connected.
    3.Make a phone call to your voicemail. (actually any phone call will do you should hear it ringing in the headset)
    4.Open your keyboard and press 1. (It won’t let you press any numbers while it is ringing, hence call your voicemail)
    5.Then press the GREEN call button.
    6.Your call should end.

    And done. If done correctly ALL sounds that your phone makes should be going through your bluetooth headset. This includes key sounds and even MP3 songs. They will NOT be coming from your phone anymore.

    Let me know if this works for anyone else. Or maybe there is an easier way to do this that I don’t know about.

  6. ok i got my first real phone and i like it alot and it was free from attt but now the screen is black and it still works but i cant see what im doing im soo scared that i broke it and when i took the battery out theres a orange dot!!!!!

  8. How do i set up my dialling touch screen? I’ve been wondering that for the longest time. All i can do is type the phone number using my keyboard. I wanna know how to use the touchscreen. plz help
    xoxo

  9. umm– There is a button on the front that looks like a little calculator with a hand and if you press that it will bring up the touchscreen dialing.

  10. How do I get message drafts onto a micro SD card from my phone? I’m a writer, and I recently bought the card to be able to transfer my writing on the go without having to sit there and type everything on the computer from my phone (which takes hours).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  11. i dont understand how you dont know how to set an mp3 as a ringtone, i bought this phone on orange as it was out of stock at the o2 store, i then unlocked it to o2.
    straight away i went to:
    Profiles > Normal > Personalise > Ringtones > External Device, and chose the song i wanted

    Did the same for mp3 message tones too

  12. i serously should have done research before i bought i got the lg neon for my birthday. it hasnt even been a year and already its slower and it keeps shutting off randomly. i want at&t to take it back and give me a new one. besides those two things its a great phone

  13. Just a little question; anybody know the security codes, if they are default, so i can change it so i know what it is. I have 2 attempts left. Thanks

  16. @kyle. I watched a review on youtube about the lg neon and it says its best NOT to download music on there. I’m getting this phone soon BTW

  17. i just got the lg neon and i love it the only problem is that i cant figure out how record audio and make it a ringtone .. if you know how to plz help!!!!!!!!!!!

  18. well this is an ok phone overall i think that its relly durable ive probably dropped it millions of times and i also sometimes text when my hands r wet aha (bubble baths aah relaxing 🙂 ) but like wut eeryone else says its pretty slow and adding contacts and stuff is pretty annoying b/c u have to pick whether ur adding it t ur sim card or ur phone and when u add it to both then it shows up twice on ur cntacts urrgh very annoyinh aha also it took me foreever to learn how to change my ringtone and add music.another thing i hate is how u cant find any new themes and downlaoding things onto it is sooo darn hard to do if u dunno how to do it. also it restarts by itaself alot too which is relly annoying. overall i give this phone 5.5/10

  20. Do not buy this phone. It looks fairly new in the us. But was released in Australia As the webslider. I own one. Read webslider reviews. Then decide if you want it. It is the shittest phone ive ever owned. Dont do it. Its the exact same phone. Just dont.

  21. I’ve had this phone for seven months and I absoluty hate it. It frequently shits down on me and is excessivly slow. Granted it is more durable and sturdy then the nokias Ive owned previously it still lacks in performance. I will most likely not be sticking with an LG phone next upgrade…

  22. Oh and just to add to the problems, I forgot to mention that when I’m texting at a decently fast pace the ‘l,o,k,m’ letters malfunction and often change my position in the sentence. The worst being the ‘o’ button which sends you up a row. This phone is absolutly a worthless pile of crap and I would strongly advise people to refrain from buying it.

  23. have had my fone for 4 months
    have the automatic shut off, but only happens wen its damp
    cant open certain emails but otherwise am very happy with the phone and yes it does do speed dial
    one other thing wen i got my phone,i got the headset with it in the box, amazing sound, better than my koss headphones

  24. there a little image of a phone near the green talk button
    press it and the touchscreen shows up
    to change the t9 there is an icon above the three on the touchscreen

  25. Does anybody know how to lock messages on this phone? I hate having to go through them one by one and deleting the ones I don’t want, and deleting the ones I want to keep.

  29. mystic!! u can kinda change the theme by
    *go to menu
    *settings
    *display
    *color schemes
    * then you can change it to white.
    also as a tip just mess around with your settings. u can change how big the letters are or different kind of clocks.
    Hope I helped out many people!!

  30. well anyway, i dont use bluetooth or whatever. i have the lg neon by at&t, so it doesnt have a mp3 player. so sorry i might not have helped.

  31. This phone was a HUGE disappointment.
    Here are the most major issues I encountered:

    First of all, it is extremely laggy and balky, and frequently freezes for several seconds, especially when I slide it open.

    Secondly, the data storage on this phone is about as efficient and logical as a jet plane fueled with baking soda and vinegar. Nothing on the phone memory can be stored on the SIM card – not even the address book, really, since the SIM card save only one number per name and loses all the extra information like secondary numbers, groups, emails, pictures, etc, etc associated with each contact. When I replaced my first unit I lost EVERYTHING on my phone except the stripped-down address book. It doesn’t even come with a cord to hook up to my computer. Supposedly one exists, but doesn’t work well with macs (as in, it’s designed to work with macs, it just sucks). To back up any of my information or store any files of any serious size, I have to buy a microSD card, a microSD card adapter, a USB adapter for the microSD adapter… And it doesn’t even allow more than 4GB cards, which makes the only one I have useless! Are you fucking kidding me? This is the best data storage/transfer system they could come up with?
    Maybe this sort of set-up is standard for modern phones, but that’s hardly an excuse. This is just ridiculous.

    Most aggravatingly, the sound on my first unit went on the fritz after only a few months. It would go off for no reason, and the only way to get the sound working again would be to shut it off and restart the phone. Then it stopped picking up sound from outgoing calls – Every time I made a call, I would have to wait 20+ seconds after the connection was made to actually begin hearing the other person (they could hear me fine). I had to replace this unit barely half a year after getting it, and unfortunately I am still stuck with the LG neon model. Wonder how long this one will last?

    Even the plastic case that goes with it is shoddy: the glue that holds the screen cover to the front part of the case was loose when I took it out of the package, and after weeks of trying to get it to stick I just gave up and took it off.

    My usage of this phone is very limited and undemanding, and I can’t believe how poorly it performs under those conditions. The engineering and programming of this phone is shameful.

    I will not be purchasing LG phones in the future.

  34. I bought this phone unlocked at Pacific Mall last summer, and it has been a piece of junk. It holds a ridiculously small amount of text messages (something like 500 combined sent and received)—it’s a fucking texting phone!!! I should have the option to use the microSD card to store unlimited texts, or it should at least just push out the oldest text to make room for a new one when it fills up, like my old Samsung flip phone FROM 2006! Instead, when it fills up, it just tells me that it’s full and would I like to send a multimedia text? NO! So then I have to go in, select all the texts, delete them, and wait 5 minutes for it to do that, before I can send another freaking text.
    It turns off at random, which makes no sense.
    The built-in ring tones are awful.
    It’s SLOWWWWW. Everything you do has a delay. Especially when you press the green button on the front to go through recent/missed/received calls, literally each time you press down to go through the list it takes half a second to respond.
    All in all this phone is terrible. When I bought it, a friend (who has had a shit-ton of cell phones) told me “LG phones suck,” but I figured hey, it has a QWERTY pad, and how can it be worse than my Samsung flip phone FROM 2006 (which capitalized every word you enter into a text unless you press shift)?!?!
    Well, I was wrong. This phone is worse than that one. It is laughably bad. I got it because I was through with my Bell contract and wanted to have an unlocked phone to take between providers at my discretion. Sure, I can do that, but I don’t even care anymore because it’s so awful. I’ll now gladly sign a 3-year and pay $200 for an iPhone 4 just so that I can put this piece of shit to rest.
    DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. DO NOT EVEN ACCEPT THIS PHONE FOR FREE.

  35. i baught this phone for 75$ . & i Love it . but dose anyone know where i can download free themes for this phone ?

  36. @Nick you have completely and totally hit the nail on the head with this crappy phone. It’s the worst phone I’ve ever had the displeasure of owning. I also bought it out-right so I could be free of contracts, but I’d be happy to sign a contract to get a good phone for the same cost.

  37. please help! i have had my lg neon for about 5 or 6 months with no problems. I put a sandisk 2gm micro sd in my phone about a month ago, put music and pictures and stuff on it. Everything worked fine until this morning al my files that were saved on my sd card were gone. I ejected the sandisk and put it back in and it says that the card is in, but after that it acts like its not. None of my files are there, nothing can be saved onto the card ect. When i try and check the memory status of the card it says “Not supported!” , i dont understand because it used to work just fine. if you have help email bindininja@live.com

  40. OMG where do I start? I HATE THIS PHONE. WORST PHONE i have EVER owned. I had a Razr that got damaged in a freak accident so I had to get the neon as a temporary phone until i could get something better. I liked it the first week or so I had it, but ever since, it has been absolutely terrible. It shuts off 5-10 times a day and I don’t even use my phone all that much. It takes SOOOO long to start back up and when the home screen comes up, it pops up a “WAIT!” message that pisses me off. I don’t want to wait! When I call someone or receive a call, I can’t hear anything on the other end. No ringer. No voice. When I do get a connection, the phone shuts off in the middle of the conversation like I hung up on them. Texting is super slow and the symbol/function inputs are annoying when adding punctuation and numbers. It takes forever to delete messages and you can’t save important messages. The ringtones are a hassle to deal with, The touch screen is pointless and pretty much laughable. I’ll be getting the motorola i1 soon. Can’t wait to get rid of this piece of junk. DON’T BUY THIS PHONE unless you want a headache every time you use it.

  41. this PHONE IS A PIECE OF CRAP. DO NOT GET IT. I made a mistake in getting it, and have had to suffer the consequences since. It shuts off, it freezes, it won’t load things. PIECE OF CRAP. it’s only use should be as a paper holder. HORRIBLE.

  42. had one for a year. really have no problems but I agree with a lot of the configuration and storage problems I’ve read here. LG makes very poor products as a whole when it comes to electronics. DO NOT BUY LG ELECTRONICS.
    p.s. my phone will shut off if I close the keyboard to hard. has been like that since I got it so I just close it carefully and alls good.

  43. Does anyone know why it shuts off randomly and wont let me send pictures? or what the hell “Emergency only” is?

  44. I just git this phone last week and loved it until I discovered that when i call people or they call me..they can’t hear me!! It’s driving me insane!! I can hear them just fine!

  45. hey guys well here are full specs on this phone and some tips

    first

    -the one layout formnat is 220x-330x
    -this one only plays mp3 format songs
    -this one only uses touch for dialing

    helpfull hints

    Unlocking your phone, if you acidently remove that battery and do not know your phone password

    step one
    Remove battery and sim for about 3 minites(this takes time as your phone has a internal battery to keep info for a short amount of time)

    Step two

    affter time is up put sim and battery back in phone and start it up

    Hint 2

    Playing music and songs…you MUST have a micro simcard the music will not play off internal memory, the first thing to do when planning music is go to main screen of the menue pic tools, and pic MP3 it will have a option on helping you extract music from your micro

    Hint 3 THERE ARE NO THEAMS TO DOWNLOAD OFF THE INTERNET you must buy them from Fido Store located in your phone menue

    Hint 4

    Music and raido headsets, thease can be bought at any fido store and/or orderd from the fido branch they are not sold in electronic stores like the sorce or any mall.

    and for the question above me, Molko you can change thos settings on the side of your one call your hous4e number and when talkning press the sound valume to turn your voice up,

    i hoped this helped

If you’re thinking about getting this phone DO NOT DO IT YOU WILL REGRET IT!

  48. I agree this phone is garbage. Mine has a mind of it`s one it only works when it wants to, it always shuts off, hangs up on people and the eithere flickers on or off either that or the screen is so dim I can`t see who is calling or text messaging me. I have took it in twice there should be a recall on it. A couple of my friends have the same problems with this phone as well. Definatly don`t buy it it a piece of junk.

  49. hey i lost my LG phone neon green, but now am left with the charger cord and headphones if anyone wants to buy them please email me!!
