2 AM Advertising for VZ Navigator - LG Cosmos Touch

Ever since I purchased my LG Cosmos Touch I've been bombarded nightly at around 2 AM among other times to download the VZ Navigator application. This is not a phone call, but the same advertisement that plays as if you don't have VZ Navigator installed and click the button on the main menu with the "Get" button at the bottom of the screen.
Since this plays over the speakerphone function, this often will wake me up while I'm trying to sleep as well as drain the battery on the phone. Does anyone know how to turn these ads off since 1. I already have a GPS that works fine and 2. I have no interest in using data on this phone.

I would like to thank all of the members of the community for responding. I know how I would feel if I was woken up by a phone alert every morning. I believe that you are receiving some kind of multimedia alert. Below, I have posted instructions on how to change the alert settings from page 96 of your owner’s manual: You can also get other helpful tips from your manual by clicking on the link below:

Opera Mini for LG Cosmos Touch (VN270)?

I used to have Opera Minia on my LG Cosmos Touch phone. Late last year, I had to exchange the phone for warranty reasons. I tried to update the new phone with my previous apps, but the Opera Mini was no longer available for the phone! Does anyone know what happened? Will Opera Mini be available again for the LG Cosmos Touch? It is a great browser and much better than the one that comes with the phone.

Hello SteveRo,
I realize the convenience that the Opera Mini browser provides. After a search of the Verizon Wireless Media Store it appears that the LG Cosmos Touch is not currently compatible with this browser. I am unable to predict if it will be available again in the future. If you have any additional questions or concerns I would be happy to work with you. I appreciate your patience and understanding.
Thank You,

Problem with LG Cosmos Touch

I recently purchased an LG Cosmos Touch phone for my wife (my daughter and I have the same phone and the problem I'm about to describe does not occur on our phones). The battery runs down in a short period of time because we discovered that even when the phone is sitting undisturbed for a long period of time, it lights up and stays that way for awhile, even though no calls or texts are being received -- then eventually goes dark again. Why is it doing this, and what can we do to correct the problem?

You posted this in the iPhone 4s forum so you might not get an answer to that here. Try finding the forum for your device or checking the manufacturer's site to see if they have a forum that could help. Also, you can contact VZW for support just in case it's a problem that is covered under warranty.

Lg cosmos touch goes blank when placing VM calls

My lg touch goes blank when calling vm & i cannot get the dial pad w/o opening the phone. I've seen other postings regarding resetting the proximity in the service menu but i cant find it on this phones menu. how / where do i go to reset the proximity settings IF that is what will fix it. thanks.

Hello yosmt! I've researched the operation you've mentioned (changing the proximity settings on the Cosmos Touch) and can't find any data on it. I can tell you this: If you're dialing to your voicemail or any other Interactive voice response system, the display should remain illuminated while the phone is held at a distance from the human face for at least 5 seconds. If your phone isn't doing that, then we have to discuss options other than changing settings. If you want, you can send me a personal message through the forum. Please include your name and mobile number. Thanks!

Fumbling through V CAST and LG COSMOS Touch Music / pics setup

OK basically I'm trying to set up my phone (LG cosmos touch) on V CAST and of course I added a MicroSD (8Gig) card. I have songs listed in V cast, and even created a playlist for them and moved them from the "local media content" to the playlist I created in V cast. Here's the problem;
I plug in the phone and V cast doesn't see it at all at first.
I go into my phone and "My Music" and hit the "sync" button which SHOULD just suck 'em up, right?
THEN I get a message on V CAST that my phone is IN SYNC MODE has to be in USB MASS STORAGE MODE to work.
There's a handy-dandy little video that even tells me how to do it on my new phone...
I put the phone into USB MASS STORAGE MODE (Menu>tools>Mmemory>) and...
Now V CAST SEES THE PHONE AS A DRIVE (G
I can now NOT get to the My Music and "Sync" commands on the phone wihtout dropping out of the USB MASS STORAGE MODE.
I CANT SYNC... so I drag and drop
I drag the playlist to the "drive" in the left column and it copies and shows up in V CAST.
ALL THE SONGS are on the chip...
In the phone, there's no playlist, and no songs show up in the "My Music" section... No playlists show, no songs under "all songs." It's like tehyre not on the chip. V CAST says there is and theyre there... Phone says NADA...
WTH is going on?
To "SYNC" i cannot be in USB MASS STORAGE MODE
IN USB MASS STORAGE MODE I can copy the playlist and songs to the chip as you would a drive, but the phone's not going to find them, and I cannot SYNC in USB MASS STORAGE MODE.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!! Frustrated!

wow, very nice review Makes me want to get a vision for myself.

Add the ability to randomly select a new background from a pre selected group of photos every time the player is turned on or each day.
I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
Once again, great review

Syncing music to my Cosmos Touch

I have a Cosmos Touch and have had it for a while now. I am really happy with it, no complaints really. The only thing I find aggravating it syncing music to it!!! I have a SD card for my phone. I have an itunes music library and that is where all of my music comes from. A friend of mine just purchased the cosmos touch for his daughter and said that when he synced music to it, it was real simple and even converted the music file if needed to. I have had my phone since January and I was wondering if the newer ones have had updates to it.
When I sync music, I hook phone to PC, find itunes music library on my harddrive, find phone and drag & drop music into phone icon(for lack of better description). Is there and easier way to do this? I realize itunes is like Fort Knox, but this is totally aggravating. Really like the phone and all it does, just not easy to get music on it.

Do they play in iTunes?

LG Cosmos Touch - Transferred phone, but can't get rid of old user's Backup Assistant

Hello! I'm trying to transfer one of my phones (an LG Cosmos Touch) to someone else (on my account), but I can't get the old user's Backup Assistant information removed. I've tried removing the app so I can download a new copy; it tells me it's removed, but it's still on the list. I've tried syncing the new user's contact list to the phone from the computer, but the phone tells me the number's changed, and if I try running Backup Assistant it still tries to contact the account for the OLD number, not the new. I just reloaded the address book by hand (since there weren't too many numbers yet), but I'd LIKE to be able to run Backup Assistant for the new user of the phone, whom I'm sure will be adding additional contacts. How can I do this if I can't replace the app? Thanks for any help you can provide.

On most devices where you can't remove Backup Assistant, you can do the following to get rid of it.
1) Open up Backup Assistant.
2) Press on help (may be under options).
3) From the help screen type in *73738#.
4) This will remove Backup Assistant and you can just reconfigure it altogether.
I hope this helps someone who is in the same predicament. NO need to master reset the phone to get rid of Backup Assistant. Woohoo!
Any questions, please let us know!

Need help with LG Cosmos touch please ? :)

I have the LG Cosmos touch and I was wondering about something........When you view your messages from a person it shows a little blank avatar next to every message. You can go to pictures and set a contact ID for any of your contacts and so in messages that little avatar will turn to that pic....So the recieved message is covered. But it shows sent messages with the little avatar next to it and wanted to put my pic on there and can not figure out how to do it.....PLEASE HELP Thanks !!!!

Hello savvygirl7695,
I can certainly assist with adding your picture so that it shows up while messaging. When accessing your contacts there should be one listed as "My Name Card." Once you open this contact there will be an option to edit. At that point, you would add the picture as you would with any other contact. If you do not see "My Name Card" there may just be a contact with your name or one indicating it is for the owner. I would be happy to troubleshoot further, if needed. Please let me know if I can provide additional assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank You,

Kin TWOm vs. LG Cosmos Touch

My family is now eligible for an upgrade, but my parents don't want to pay for data plans, and I'm a poor college student with no money to do so, so I have to stick with the feature phones and choose something with no data required.
I've looked into them, and I'm stuck between the Kin and the Cosmos Touch.
IMO, here are the major pros and cons of each one:
Kin Pros:
* Wifi capable
* 8GB Zune player
* 8mp camera
* 720p video
* Large display
Kin Cons:
* No forwarding messages
* Short battery life on standby
Cosmos Pros:
* Small size (easier to put in pocket)
* Expandable memory
* More features i.e. tip calculator, stopwatch etc.
* Easy to get ringtones
* Easy to customize wallpaper etc.
Cosmos Cons:
* 1.3mp camera
* No video recording
* Bad keyboard setup (space bar between v and b)
Which phone do you suggest I get and why?

don't forget backup assistant! that's another dealbreaker for some people.
for kin, there's no backup assistant, ie no backing up, export, or import of the contacts. You can back up media files (photos, videos, music) via zune player, and i think even if you have a MAC, they have markspace.com/kin to assist you in syncing the media files.
for cosmos touch...obviously you get backup assistant and all that great support from vzw.
But if you are like me, who has never really used backup assistants, and I manually type in every contact i know/need for all my previous phones anyway, then this probably wouldn't make much difference.
also the interface is very different, i'm sure you are aware of it. although listed as a feature phone, kin still got the old interface and not the normal vz stuff that all other feature phones possess. make sure you are used to it.
i read on the reviews of vzw that there are a lot of ppl returning the kin because they wasn't aware of the interface difference.
ringtone-wise...i don't know. all the phones i have with verizon (except chocolate 1) all had terrible ringtone situation mainly because I like to use my own ringtones and they are vzw were particular annoying at letting ppl having their way in the old days.
i think now it's getting better but obviously, there is still no way of deleting ringtones on kin, you can use myxer.com or your parents/friends phones to send the ringtones you want to you as MMS (messaging charge applies), but you cannot rename it in your kin (must do it before sending).
cosmos touch...ehh im thinking the opposite? not really sure but prob. more convenient.
I will suggesst get the cosmos touch for your parents and a kin twom for yourself, that way, you guys can switch around.
if you are upgrading around this time, maybe you should wait til christmas hits? there might be new phones or new sales or something. kin is not going anywhere...$50 is as cheap as it gets i think.
I don't think they have the kin in stores yet...or is that old news? update me thx!

Cosmos Touch will not power off

I connected my Cosmos Touch to my computer allowed it to update. It is frozen on the "Downloading.... do not unplug" screen. I have tried holding the power off button to attempt to force it off with no luck.
I have since unplugged it. Any ideas besides letting it just die and hope for the best when it recharges?
Thanks for any help.

Hello ocean85,
I would like to make sure that you are able to get past the "downloading" screen and your device is now functioning as normal. Did you ever attempt to remove the battery directly? How were you alerted of the software update? I would like to troubleshoot further if necessary. Please PM me and I can investigate the concern in more detail. I look forward to hearing from you.

Cosmos touch browse & download page

Since I got my Cosmos touch phone, it has been nothing but trouble. 80% of the time when I unlock the phone, it goes into the browse & download page. Except for the sales guy going into that page to download my contact list, I haven't been in that page. I have the phoe replaced and checked by 7 different in stores reps and a 611 service tech. Everyone keeps telling me that they have never seen this and don't know why it is happening.
Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I have been dealing with the exact same thing since April. I have spent hours talking to tech support, customer service representatives, and my local Verizon store. I have suspended Daily Scoop, blocked most of the data, and updated the software. And everyday when I unlock the phone it goes straight to the browse and download page. No one knows how to fix it, I guess. The other occasional problem I have is that at 2:10 A.M. the phone will come on and deliver a talking message--it wants me to open a gmail account. I love be awakened at 2 in the morning!

Cosmos Touch randomly turns off

Have had my Cosmos Touch for 2 months and I already want to get rid of it. When I use the qwerty keyboard to text and close it after I sent msg, the phone shuts off every time and the msg does not go through, so then I have to go back and retype it or sometimes people dont get important msgs. I dont have it set where closing the phone means to shut it off. Please help-- what are the solutions to get a new phone? (I'd be happy with any basic phone at this point-- no touch screens again). I also have the same issues with the phone lighting up. Would this qualify for a CPO?
Thanks.

Mine does the exact same thing. it is a bug in the phone. Just wait til the message sends then close phone or close phone before sending message and it is fine..... other than that there is no fix or anything to fix it and there probably never will be because verizon released the LG extravert to replace it already

How do I activate a used iPhone 3 with no SIM card for use as an ipod touch?

How do I activate a used iPhone 3G with no SIM card for use like an iPod Touch? It was apparently on AT&T previously and I have another iPhone 3 that is active on AT&T if that is helpful. Thanks!

Copied from the link provided.
Follow these steps to use your iPhone without a wireless service plan:
Insert the SIM card from your new, activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone.
Connect the iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
Once iTunes activates the device, you're free to use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

Ios 3.1.1 will not download for the 1st generation ipod touch

Why won't ios 3.1.1 download for the 1st generation ipod touch? It will start and then a second later stop.

Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps? You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
Next would be to restore from backup
Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

How do you get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch

How do I get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch?

By updating the iOS on the iPOd. The 1G can go as high as 3.1.3. That works with a lot of apps. But some apps require a higher iOS and/or newer iPod.
