This phone is horrible
its slow...it frezzes alot and theres never SERVICE..the bars is always LOW!!!!! fix this quick
This is a user forum, populated by iphone users like yourself - not Apple. This being the case, we cannot "fix this quick."
You may leave feedback for Apple at:
www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
I have had no problems with my iphone, not has anyone I know.
If you are within the return window, you may return the iphone. You could also take it to the Genius Bar for help, or call Apple for assistance.
Perhaps the least helpful, would be to complain about it to other iphone users. As you have exercised that option, maybe another course of action would be beneficial.

What do I do with this phone...
My contract is up in late November and I really hate this phone. I constructed a list of pros/cons.
I can hand write a message and put it on a horse and it will get delivered faster than it takes this phone to start to send a message
The touchscreen sometimes doesn't want to work or it stops working out of nowhere (usually in the middle of a text message).
The phone locks up all the time and sometimes doesn't allow me to open the phone or messaging apps.
It restarts itself while I'm doing something, but it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm doing something because it also does this while it sits on my table charging and doing nothing more.
It is unreliable in an emergency situation due to the way it constantly freezes and always locks up from the simplest tasks
I am told that I have to keep the phone 1cm away from my body at all times? What is up with that?
The phone overheats all the time from literally doing NOTHING but sitting in my pocket.
The battery lasts 5 hours (on a good day) from very basic use (text messaging, calling)
Text messages don't always send and I don't always receive them.
It takes hours for the phone to charge from 10% to 20%
It's veeeeeeeeeery slow ALL THE TIME.
The front LED buttons (home, back, search) don't light up very bright anymore.
Whoever programmed the messaging app needs to be fired because it loads every single text message and multimedia message ever sent to you by that person every time you open a text message.
Burns my leg after being left in my pocket for 20 minutes.
Two 5-minute youtube videos drains my battery by usually 70%.
Resetting the phone would literally do nothing, it still won't send/receive a few text messages
I can't end a call, I've sat there for a good 10 seconds pressing the 'end' button hoping it would actually end the call.
I have thought about going to a therapist for this phone.
It takes 7 minutes for this phone to turn fully off and back on again. I've performed the test multiple times.
While charging, the phone gets way too hot.
I purposely tell my friends not to buy LG products due to this phone. When they buy a new LG product, I tell them to return it as soon as they possibly can.
This phone sometimes doesn't register a call and starts to do some sort of a weird glitching thing where it tries to determine whether the call has enough time left to ask me if I want to answer it or if the phone should just ignore it overall and never tell me about it.
I read somewhere that this phone is a broken, defective, unfixable hunk of ****.
The 'pros' of this phone:
It's an excellent hand warmer in the winter. Just hold the phone in between your hands and it feels like a nice hand warmer. Careful though, it might burn you.
I can throw it at a wall a million times and it doesn't break! It's a great way to release my anger and I feel like LG knew that people would want to smash it against the wall simply because of how horrible the phone really is.
Other comments:
When my contract is up, I'm going to have a party. I'll hang this phone from a tree and hit it like a pinata and brutally
beat it with every ounce in my body. I will burn it, beat it, and beat it some more. As the grand finale I will
attach a mortar firework to it and enjoy it getting what it deserves.

I have a Black i-phone 5, iOS 7 on a black phone is horrible, there should be a darker setting for black phones... it look horrible on a black phone because it does not match... its too bright... I think there should be a darker option!! Is there going to be a darker option of the software???
jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Help, this phone is possessed!!!
I have had this phone since early December. I have kept it in great quality, keep a durable case and screen protector to keep it from breaking. I have never dropped it severely or ever had water damage. The other day my phone was being really slow, which I am pretty used to anyway. But I was going to check my text messages and I touched the pull down notification bar, and when I did it pulled it down and pulled it right back up without me touching it. And ever since it has pretty much just lagged horribly, and everything I try to command it to do it goes to the application, media, messages, internet, and then closes it without any warning in seconds. I can't check my messages, call anyone, and when I tried removing the battery and restarting it, it would flash the unlock screen multiple times for about five minutes, just flashing that menu. When I tried typing in my password it would stop typing and clear the whole bar for my password. When I eventually got it to turn back on, when I went to use the lock key it instead of locking my phone it would automatically type in mnn into the search bar and give me results for mnn. Half the time the touch pad doesn't work, or the keypad doesn't want to work. I have no idea where all these problems came from, I haven't dropped it, updated anything, nothing to agitate my phone... Should I just call TMobile for a replacement or is there something I can do to salvage my phone?
I have never really had a problem up to now, other than lagged, and the App store never wants to run or run my apps for that matter. But I love the look of the phone and the keyboard. I don't want to have to get another if I can avoid it, but its not even letting me communicate now. Please Help ):Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
When successful (it may take you some experimentation to get the key sequence correct), you should consider an OS reload, if you are that adventurous...here is a procedure:
At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for each model. Please use those as reference as you proceed.
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software
Failing that, formal support from your carrier is certainly always an option.
Good luck and let us know!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed.

HATE This Phone - Constant 'Force Close' of Numerous Processes
Not a violent, nor temperamental person . . . But this HORRIBLE Droid Charge phone unit just makes me want throw it as hard as possible against a brick wall and then smash into small bits! I AM an electronics/broadcast professional who DOES expect electronic items to work as advertised (or at minimum, be repairable by qualified personnel.)
I remain convinced that the problems most are experiencing with the Droid Charge unit are software based. Why? I'm on my THIRD unit that have all exhibited the same operational failures. At this point, I am still under contract for a few more months and just trying to keep it 'alive' until the S4 hits the shelves.
Problems you ask?
Constant force closing of most every feature on the phone (both factory apps/processes and the very few basic apps that I have loaded.)
Involuntary rebooting and involuntary 'Factory Resets'.
Unable to hook on to a WiFi signal (anywhere - with or without WiFi security.)
Failure to find GPS coordinates for more than thirty minute even outdoors in a clear sky (southern USA.)
I HATE this phone and all my local VZW store reps can do is offer a factory reset (like I haven't done THAT 100's of times) and offer to sell a new unit.
VZW you are quickly losing another corporate customer.
ANY assistance is always appreciated.Jimbosays,
Because you are on your 3rd Charge Phone with the SAME problems I ask, have you used the SAME battery in all these phones??? It seems odd that three phones have the same problems so maybe it's something common among these three phones like a battery. If the battery is swollen it's a sign that it's a goner!
Involuntary rebooting and force closing can/may be caused by a bad battery. I mean a battery that does charge up to it's normal 3.7 volts and says it's fully charged BUT it cannot hold the amperage (power to run the phone). In this case the battery is just "tuckered out." The only true way to tell is to try the phone with a different good (probably new) battery. The most cost effective way to do this may be to go a Verizon store and ask to try the battery that is in their demo Charge phone.

Just installed update on my LG Intuition and now my phone runs horribly, any suggestions?
I have been ignoring the update for a while and finally decided to update the phone since the update kept flashing. Now my phone lags horribly, especially with texts. And about 75% of the time, when texting, the second word will be replaced by the third word I type. Example: I type "This phone sucks" and it reads "This sucks". I also don't always get an alert when I receive a text now. My husband's phone is also lagging and not getting alerts either, his is an LG Lucid. I can't live chat because as usual, all agents are busy. Any way to uninstall that last update? Or is there a fix for this? I want to smash this phone, it is so frustrating! Help
We want you love your update and your Intuition Rawria! Have you tried a battery pull since the update? What messaging app are you using? Any other difficulties with other apps besides the messaging?

Hi I have a macbook pro (late 2011) running on Yosemite and an iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1.2 and I have never had a problem until tonight. I wanted to sync my iPhone to add mew music but upon syncing I keep getting a pop up message saying "THE IPHONE " " COULD NOT BE SYNCED BECAUSE THIS COMPUTER IS NO LONGER AUTHORIZED FOR PURCHASED ITEMS ON THIS PHONE" and tells me to go to the store tab on the top and to authorize this computer and every time I do it says computer is already authorized. I will also mention that my iTunes account is the only account that is used on my Mac and it is the only account I've used on my iPhone. Ive synced them plenty of time with no problems. I have never came across this message before and now my iPhone won't sync. I have been online for an hour now looking for solutions but I haven't found any that successfully worked. Ive rebooted both my Mac and iPhone with no success. ow for some reason when I plug my iPhone in it does not even charge but my Mac reads it and it shows up in the iTunes store so I tried syncing it again 1 more time snap it just gets stuck on step 1. I must also say state that is did successfully back up but absolutely will not sync. Can anybody please help me out without resetting my iPhone. Thanks
Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.

Problem with iOS7 : I have a message on my screen "This phone is not registred as a developper phone..." or something like that, can you help me because I download the iOS7 Beta even if I was not a developper. Thank you very much if you help me.

I was given a new phone because of a technical problem with my other. Everything was replaced because of iCloud but now it is telling me I do not have enough storage room on this phone to perform a back-up. Can I fix this?!
Why don't you call Apple tech support thru your provider. They will be able to help you in short order.
PS - If you want help here you need to provide a little more information i.e. how much memory does your iPhone -4- have and how much free memory do you have after restoring from the cloud? -
I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?
When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app? Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category. If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes. To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again.
I hope this helps! -
I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone. I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added. So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them? It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

How do you delete songs that you purchased through iTunes but don't show up when you connect the iphone to iTunes? They don't show up in the music section when you click on "On this phone". Side Note: I have my phone setup to manually manage music. Please help.
Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

When I set up my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently used wrong email for setting up my apple id. I have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. How can I get an iCloud account for this phone?
You said "have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. ".
Why can't you verify it?
Do you not receive the verification email address?

My iphone 4S wont allow me to restore a bckup of icloud it has just rebooted the os and for over 24 hours i have been trying to fix it i use this phone for my job so i need help. when i try to restore it says "Your iphone could not be activated becuase the activation server is unavailable, If the problom presests goto apple.com/support" It has done this for 27 hours now PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
- Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
- Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -
