Bad service given by Singapore LG service ceter. I bought LG KS 20 by end of MAY, repair two times, problem encounter, cannot read sms, hang, blue tooth cannot detect and baterry indicator cannot fuction, advise to all better try other model rather than LG KS 20.

My battery stucks on 100% battery level. It is not reduced even run out of energy. I understood that this is a mistake of battery! because my friend also has it and when I try his battery it shows the real value.

> In reply to Arminas @ 2008-04-10 11:22 from TIE7Battery life is very poor . At the begining it was ending 4-5 days. But after 1 month less than 2 days, araound 1,5 days (bluetooth, wireless off) Miserable. I do not know what to do ? Maybe a spare battery. Low battery life is a must for all PDA s?

When I turn on radio automaticlly bluetooth turns on. Is this normal(in which I doubt) or not? In the same time if I try to turn off bluetooth, radio turns off too.

I've had the KS20 for about couple months now, and the battery life is alright. I have to charge it every night because two weeks after I got it, I noticed that the battery meter constantly read 100% even after using WiFi and texting constantly. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am using this phone unlocked in the Los Angeles area using t-mobile. I can get mms and sms messages.

> In reply to [deleted post]the p527 is not a 3g phone mind you. do you really want to buy a 2g phone? people are already moving on to 3.5g which is also supported by the ks20. i think its best to avoid non-3g phones from now on even if there is no 3g at your place. (from 2010 even under-developed countries will be 3g.. hopefully!)

For all those looking for an English version of the KS20, Here is the official reply to my query from LG head office in Canada "Hello I'm sorry have purchased a phone through an unauthorized dealer with software that is not designed to work in North America. LG Canada does not sell nor support this phone, please return to your point of purchase for assistance as we and your service provider are not able to assist you. Regards David Herbert LG Canada "

My request was for a link to the English or French version of the LG users manual. Clearly there isn't any in other than Korean or Chinese. Indeed the reply to my message was in barely comprehensible English (and presumably his French is no better). However, the phone is being sold in reputable stores, in Canada, the US, Europe etc. It is astonishing that LG denies any reponsibility for support in the English or French-speaking world when indeed the phone runs on an English Windows MObile 6 Operating system.

So far my phone seems to be OK, but I am learning by trail and error. It is extraordinary that LG is selling in the West, but only providing Chinese or Korean operating instructions.

None of the 3 following games work on my KS20:
Azgard Defence and SPB Brain Evolution don't refresh the screen (unless you turn the device off and on)
Virtual Pool - crashes when you're about to rack up (menu works fine).

Does any of the above work for you?

KS20 is mistake of LG. LG still learning how to make good PDA with good features.KS20 has no feature compare to HTC, Eten, Apple, O2... Do Not waste your money on this phone.
