Simple way to re-lock LG Cosmos Touch VN270?

Is there a way to easily lock the phone (after you have unlocked it) without having to go into the security options?
I am not referring to the physical "lock button" on the phone. I am referring to the "Lock Phone Now" security setting.
When the security is set, I touch "Unlock" (on the lower-right of the screen) and enter in my code to access all the phone features. However, if I would like to set the lock again, I need to go into the settings menu, select Phone Settings, Security, Enter my 4 digit code and then finally select "Lock Phone now".
Very tedious and a lot of steps just to re-lock the phone. It seems like there should be an easy way to lock the phone.

kitem1,
I can imagine how frustrating it may get having to always go through the Settings / Security settings every time you want to lock your device!
However, there isn't a dedicated key for locking the phone via the Security settings, only for the touch screen. I would like to suggest changing the setting to lock the phone on "Power Up". This would, at least, lock the phone automatically every time it is powered on. Instructions how to enable this setting below:
1. Unlock the touch screen by dragging [Unlock] to the right or press the Unlock Key on the right side of your phone and touch the Menu Quick Key .
2. Touch Settings .
3. Touch Phone Settings.
4. Touch Security.
5. Enter the four-digit lock code.
6. Touch Phone Lock.
7. Touch a setting: "Unlocked" The phone is not locked. "On Power Up" The phone is locked when it is turned on.
Hope this helps you with more options for locking your phone!

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,

LG Cosmos Touch VN270 turns on all the time and kills battery life - how to stop this??

I lock the phone using the lock button on the side but then I'll notice that the display will come on spontaneously (an hour later or ten minutes later...it varies). I notice there is some symbol flashing (arrows and tiny cell phone icon at top of display) and when I unlock it I will see a screen for browsing and downloading. This is super annoying because I have to keep recharging the phone even though I barely use it. And I can't find a setting to shut whatever it is off that keeps making it do that.
It's true that the display dims a minute later but if this is happening all day then it wastes the battery. I can tell because I'm recharging the thing every other day, which I'd really rather not have to do.
Solutions??

Just to add another voice ... I've had the same issue.
Due to my terms of employment I keep the phone on overnight. Between midnight and 6:00am the backlight comes on and stays on, even though the timer is set to 30 seconds. Once, and only once, I left the volume turned up, instead of vibrate-only, and received detailed instructions on how to set up the email feature. That was not a friendly way to wake up. If I see the back light on, or the Download screen, I can shut it off with the screen lock button. Sometimes it comes back on later. This definitely kills the battery by morning.
I have worked with various Customer Support people who knew nothing about this issue. They have walked me through the remove battery, reset and reactivate phone, etc. to no success. VZW was kind enough to replace the phone with the same model. The second phone has the same issue.
The local Verizon store would only tell me to please contact the Customer Service number. The corporate account rep at work has been a black hole, so far.

Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road.

Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road while driving. For that reason, I'm also not interested in adding in headphones or additional devices that have the desired button functions. Going both forward and back would be great but I would be pleased just to have a "sight-free" way to go forward.
I've seen some mention here and there about ways to maybe change it so the volume buttons change tracks and holding the volume buttons changes the volume... but I don't know what's involved in that or if its even possible/recommended for a new 5th gen iPod. I think its a great device but its sadly lacking in music oriented functions and features... which is disappointing since music is why most people would bother getting one instead of some other "iDevice" :/

Given that you cannot do what you have asked for, perhaps you simply need to find another solution to your root problem.
Presumably, you want to skip to the next track because you don't want to hear the current one, and that is because...
You don't like it.
You've heard it recently and don't want to hear it now.
Simply don't want to hear it at this time.
For problem number 1. Don't put it on the iPod in the first place. (I know, obvious answer!)
For problem number 2. How about playing from a Smart Playlist (initially created in your iTunes Library) which has only songs you've not played recently?
For problem number 3. Hhhmmm! Create alternative Playlists for use in the car.
As for going back to the start of the "now playing" track.... Well, if your Playlist has only songs that you really, really want to hear, then you'll be looking forward to that rather go back to the beginning of the current song.
I'm not trying to be prescriptive, just giving you food for thought.
(They are all cheaper options than buying a car which can control the iPod from the steering wheel.)

My daughter used a password to lock her ipod touch and she can't remember it. Is there a way to reset the password. Thank you for any assistance

My daughter used a password to lock her ipod touch and she cannot remember it. How do we unlock her ipod. Any assistance is wonderful

To circumvent an iPod with a forgotten passcode you would need to restore the iPod to factory settings. This will remove the software and data/content from your iPod as well.
To put your iPod/iPhone into recovery mode:
1. Make sure the iPod/iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod/iPhone screen goes black then shows the apple logo( usually 10-15 seconds).
3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
4. The ipod/iphone screen should show an itunes logo and usb cable if you were successful. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
After that you should be up and running in no time!
I hope that this is helpful.

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?

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.

Is there any way i can lock my mail password to my account? i am sick of re-entering it

Every time my z10 can't connect to my email, it keeps giving me the 'can't connect' error, and makes me reenter the **bleep** password. any way i can lock this in?

The solution for others has been to:
Settings > Accounts
Delete the current email account.
Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
After reboot, go back to your Settings > Accounts and re-add that email setup again.
Now, that said, the glitch you're experiencing was more prevelant in older 10.1 and 10.2.0 OS releases and I know ATT has not updated to the latest 10.2.1 OS...
What is your Operating System loaded to your device? From the main screen, swipe down from the top black bezel to Settings > About... what is the OS Version listed there?

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!

Company iPhones - simple way to manage from a PC?

Our company is slowly aquiring iPhones for employee use but would have no more than 5-6 max. Is there a simple way to manage this small number of phones from a PC? My only interest is to be able to lock or wipe them remotely if the employee reports them missing - no other function required. If possible, how would I go about setting this up?

from a PC, your options are limited.
Basic functinoality could be use Apple's Configuration Utility.
Otherwise the next cheapest would be get a Mac Mini server and setup the Profile Manager MDM software on it.
And then next option would be a commercial MDM soltuion like AirWatch or MobileIron..but those can get pricey.
Search around Google for the cheast MDM solution...you might get lucky

Can't unlock my phone using the touch screen on my LG Cosmos Touch

Hi,
I can't unlock my phone using the touch screen on my LG Cosmos Touch. Which means I can't access the calender, recent calls, and the other features on the phone. The only thing I can do is slide the phone when I need to answer a call or send a text. I'm not sure what the problem is. I also don't want to pull the battery out and re insert it because I think if I do that, my phone will lock up permanently. Will someone help me please?
Thanks,
Mackenzie

LG Cosmos Touch - What is the trick, really, to creating subdirectories?

Hey all,
I just got this LG Cosmos Touch LG VN270. I inserted a 4 GB micro SD Card, hooked it up the computer, and all went well.
I then proceeded to transfer several hundred (resized) pictures from the PC to the phone. I had the pictures set up in subdirectories (such as "2000 - 2003", "2004 - 2006", and so on.
The photos transferred, the PC recognized the My_Pictures directory on the SD card (created by default when inserted into the phone), and the computer recognizes the subdirectories and the photos within each group.
The phone, however, does not. Selecting Media Center - Pictures shows NO subdirectory structure, necessitating the need to scroll through hundreds of unrelated items to view the photo I want to see. I just got throught chatting with a rep at the LG site, his response was along the lines of "you're out of luck - contact the carrier."
Surely there has got to be a way to create subdirectories so the phone will recognize the file structure (and don't call me Shirley).
Can any of you kind and benevolent techno-gurus assist me?
Thanks,
The Dude

Every now and then a Verizon non-smartphone will support music being in subdirectories. But right now I can't recall either hearing of or hearing recently of a Verizon non-smartphone supporting pictures being in subdirectories.
Unfortunately, the only idea that I can think of is to use a program that lets you rename the file name of a batch of files. That way a batch of your pictures could start with, e.g., "2000_filename.jpg" so that the pictures will be arranged by year when you go to view them on your phone.
There are a lot of free file renaming programs at http://download.cnet.com/
One that I used that I had been pleased with was "Siren"
"Siren" or "Siren 2"

I am going to buy a macbook pro for grade 12, and I need to know wheather I should get a macbook pro or a macbook pro retina. If someone could tell me (in a very simple way) which one is,better for me and why, I would be ever so apprreciative.

Why do you need a expensive MacBook Pro?
Your attending high school and unless everyone else is rich also your likely going to be a target by the more poorer students for theft or damage to the machine.
You could keep it home, but if you need it for class then your exposed again.
Also at that age your not very careful yet, a MacBook Pro is a expensive and easily damaged machine.
Unless your made of money and so are others at your school, I would recommned a low profile, just does the job cheap Windows PC.
If it dies, gets lost, stolen or damaged because of your inexperince handling senstivie electronics then it's no big deal.
You can buy a Mac later on when your sure you have a need for it, currently there isn't much advantage of owning a Mac compared to a PC, they do just about the same things now, one just looks prettier than the other.
Since 95% of the world uses Windows PC's your going to have to install Windows on the Mac in order to keep your skills up there or be unemployed, so it's a extra headache and expense.
good luck

I have two apple accounts and one of which has my music on. I would like to move this music to the other account. Is there a simple way of doing this?

There is currently no way to merge accounts. The best option is to pick one, and use it consistantly.
