> In reply to enja @ 2008-08-20 06:55 from P%XWno that length of battery life is normal. i use mine as a backup and the battery only lasts 2 days max on one charge. 5 mins of calls and its dead. the buttons on the phone are hopeless for texting..

My LG KG245 is only one year old and rarely used, just a backup in my briefcase, however I have a MASSIVE problem. I don't use bluetooth, the camera, games, memory or music. Nothing but receiving or making the odd call. Can anyone out there help please? On standby I am lucky to get 2 days battery life. Talk time I am lucky to get 20 minutes and the battery is dead.

i have had the phone for a couple of years now and it has served me well. although the memory is a downfall, only having 8mb.. but that would be the worst of it

I had the unit for about 2 years now ( if Im not mistaken ) and as far as I can say, its a good one.. First of all, it do looks good, so elegant.Well, another thing I like about it is that it holds charge well; Ive tried bringging it on our class closing party for two days and it stays on for the whole time. It keeps me worry free of someone might not been able to contact me.. haha! plus as of the moment, I do have six hundred plus pictures stored in it and MP3s as well..haha! cool! the one quite not like about the unit is its uncapability of having a memory card; on that way we can store more pictures and MUSIC!!!haha, another is that I cannot send multiple pictures at a time you have to send those pictures manually one by one. whOo! but all in all.. its a good device..haha!

I have a problem with saving pictures even though I have deleted all pictures.
I can take a photo but when I try to save it, it always says memory full. How can I solve this problem?

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-06-27 16:00 from RN}Dhi im the same guy who posted the long one not far back from this one,

to use the bluetooth,
you go to the bluetooth menu and you can pair up with other mobiles by clicking options,
then add new,

a clever feature this phones bluetooth has that not many other (even expensive) phonse have is a feature that allows u to connect to other devices via bluetooth and search and extract files from them. its nice when u want a file from someone and they wont give it to you. :P

but u have to be cautious with ur bluetooth usage, the battery life of my one last only 2 days MAX just standby, i bought my second phone after this one temporarily died.

A WARNING TO ALL USERS:
the battery cannot be charged for longer than 4 hours at anytime!! the battery does not stop chargin even when full, and when u discon the charger it may short circuit the whole phone and/or cause the battery to leak like wat mine did.

I have this phone from 2007 july and I really can't say nothing bad about it. battery isn't a miracle, but 3/4 days it works. For me it's good. The photos you can load in to phonebook if you take the photos in a smallest size. I'm really satisfied, it's a simple phone.

To answer the previous question, u cannot move the photos to the phonebook section - it is a gimmick.

I have had this phone for just a few months and i find it is absolutely rubbish. It has a rather slippery surface and is very prone to dropping. if dropped too many times, many problems will arise from this. the battery cannot be charged overnight (4hours +) as it will shorten the battery life to no longer than 2 days max. the hinge is not very well put together and will cause squeaking after a while. also because the top section of the phone curves out from the screen (where it meets the black section) it is very easy to unintentionally knock the phone's top section, putting some strain on the hinge, thus loosening it and causing some annoying squeaking. Also there is no such thing as an mp3 player as the site suggests, it is sent to the "mp3 ringtones" section and when playing music, the phone cannot be closed.

also if anyone wants to buy one NOW. i warn u, it is a rather old phone and should not be bought. it has lots of old programming and LG technology.

i have it from dec 2006 and besides battery life i consider it a very good phone: it still looks like new, you can use mp3 as ringtones, the pictures are clear, it has bluetooth. beautyful!
