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 can't wait to get a new phone as well. LG Revolution owners should be comped for this phone if Verizon intends to keep them as customers.

  • Everytime I try charging my Note 3 I get an error message: To charge faster, use the cable and device that were provided with this phone.  What is the solution?  The cable is fine and is the original charger!

  • My 822 now says, "ERROR: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shut down." Just happened after my phone froze. Everything I've searched says to replace the phone.  I have no phone in or out, no alarm....what is going on with this?  I see others

    My 822 now says, "ERROR: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shut down." Just happened after my phone froze. Everything I've searched says to replace the phone.  I have no phone in or out, no alarm....what is going on with this?  I see others have the same problem.

    Just got the same error message today.  My phone went to the black screen of death with the error message at the top.  Contacted Verizon via chat.  Was online for 1 hour and 15 minutes only to find out that nothing could be done which I could have told them based upon what I had read on this site.  Of course my phone is out of warranty since I have had it for 1 1/2 years and I am not eligible for an upgrade.  How convenient!  I was told to contact Nokia which I did and they gave me a download to try to reset everything.  It looked like it was working but after almost 3 hours it got to the end and nothing happened.  It just froze even though it said it was done.  I rebooted the phone and am back at the same black screen of death.  Guess I have to buy a used phone and then will have to reconsider whether or not to stay with Verizon going forward.  I have not had any issues with the phone in the past - keep it in an otter box, never dropped, never got wet, etc.  But all of a sudden it goes haywire like this that seems like either a hardware or software problem but something completely out of my control and all I get is sorry, you're out of warranty!

  • How many calls/texts do you miss with this phone?

    Before I start: my phone is being replaced because the WiFi connection is completely broken, but I want to make sure this problem is not recurring when I get my new phone (the whole 14 day return thing, etc).
    My phone intermittently does not come out of sleep when getting a call or text. I have rebooted, hard reset, erased, and restored the phone. My email is turned to manual. The switch is set to ring and volume turned up all the way.
    When I say it doesn't come out, it doesn't light up, vibrate, or make a noise until I click on it to bring it out of sleep. Then it tells me I have a missed call, voicemail, and text.
    I can't keep this phone if I miss every single call and text, it defeats the purpose of having it. I only have one phone, so getting calls can be pretty important.
    I have perfectly fine network coverage. It's not always full bar, but it is ALWAYS enough to text, email, or call.
    If the phone is already unlocked, like if I am looking at my calendar, then the call/text/etc will come through audible with vibrate in addition.
    In addition, the phone is sooooo quiet. I can't feel it vibrate in my holster because the text message vibration lasts like a tenth of a second, and it's really not loud at all.
    Potentially, I have three defects with this phone: WiFi broken, bad speaker/low sound, won't come out of unlock. Is it really THAT likely to have all three defects in ONE brand new phone? I hope these incidents don't repeat when I get my new phone.
    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    This is happening to me too! It is not the that the ringer's not loud enough. Calls don't ring through while it's asleep. I had someone stand right next to me and call me and... nothing. But once I wake it up & unlock it, it's fine and calls will ring through. What is the problem? I can't keep it unlocked all the time, the battery will burn down in no time. Can anyone help? Should I be returning it? Is it a hardware or software problem?

  • What bluetooth EARPHONES work with i-phone 3gs

    what bluetooth earphones work with i-phone 3gs i've looked at a couple but found not compatible, so any suggestion's would be great

    The iPhone is not designed to pair via Bluetooth to any computer (Mac or otherwise) except for personal hotspot and it will only do that if your cellular plan supports it. Following is a link to bluetooth profiles supported: iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
    If you are trying to pair for Handoff or Continuity, note 2 things: 1- Both devices must have bluetooth turned on and they must be in range of each other, but you do not pair the devices as you would for other bluetooth uses; and 2- Handoff and Continuity do not seem to be working for a large number of people and there is no clear answer that is solving this for them.

  • I am fed up with this phone.

    I have had nothing but problems with this phone since I bought it last August. It is slow. Heats up. The screen locks up. It doesn't let me answer some calls. It powers itself down at random... The list goes on.... and on. There is still another 8 months until my 2 year upgrade but I don't think I can last with this thing. With the ammount I am paying per month for this phone, I atleast want it to be functional. Is there any way Verizon can give me an early upgrade? What can I do to get rid on this thing?! Thanks for your help.

    Since you bought the phone last August, you MAY be eligible for an annual upgrade on this line. It would be dependent on your calling plan, though. Not all are eligible, such as secondary lines on a Family Plan and Individual Plans below a certain threshold. I am unsure of the threshold. This will be the last time you will be eligible for an annual upgrade, though, since Verizon has done away with annual upgrades for contracts signed after Feb, 2011.
    Make sure that you check either on or after you have passed the anniversary of the purchase of your current phone. With annual upgrades, Verizon will not normally let you know when you will be eligible if you have not already become eligible. This is because the upgrade is dependent on your calling plan. I am sure that there are people that have gotten confirmation of their annual upgrade date, changed their plan to become ineligible, and then yelled and screamed when Verizon wouldn't let them upgrade on the date they were given.

  • After restoring iPhone 4, iTunes is telling me that my SIM card is not supported. It is the same SIM I have always used with this phone.

    After restoring iPhone 4, iTunes is telling me that my SIM card is not supported. It is the same SIM I have always used with this phone. What action can I take to convince phone that the SIM card is OK?

    Hello again, update time.
    Finally got to speak to a senior technical advisor at Apple today who was most confused until he back-tracked and double checked all the basics. He then realised that the actual serial number of my original phone (from the proof of purchase I sent him) was different to the one that they had recorded when they made the swap. I think he said it was out by one character and was actually showing as a mobile connected to AT&T (from the States). He said that the replacement phone was then set-up as per the serial number they had typoed into their system as locked to AT&T. The genius who did the swap at Apple Doncaster must have placed an unlock on it at the time in order for my 3 SIM to work at all. Therefore when I restored it, it returned to the settings of the incorrect original phone serial number!
    So... Apple tech advisor said he can rectify the records and re-set the factory setting to an Australian iPhone on the 3 network within 12-24 hours. Fingers crossed all is good by tomorrow afternoon.
    Thanks for your suggestions though, I had been trying everything to get it to work as I'm sure you know how hard they are to live without once you've got used to living with one!
    Cheers, Tom.

  • Was anyone ever happy with this phone at any point?

    I am just curious if there is anyone out there who was remotely happy with this phone even for five minutes. Mine randomly restared from day one out of the box. Verizon was no help. (Getting another of the same phone fixes NOTHING.)

    I think I liked it the first week.  It took me about 3 weeks to realize I wasn't getting all of my text messages.  That actually caused a fight between my best friend & I.  At first the random re-starts were only occasional but unfortunately, not they happen almost daily.  My biggest pet peeves are the fact that this SMART phone can't do what "dumb" phones can do - make phone calls & send/receive text messages.  You would think the most basic parts of the phone would be good, wouldn't you?  I'm so ready for a new phone but I'm doing a ton of research before I buy a new one.

  • What is the deal with this frekin battery life, it wont even make it through a 10 hour work day, very angry with this iphone 4s

  • My phone will not charge, it says This cable or accessory is not certified an may not work reliably with this phone

    My phone will not charge it says this cable or accessory is not certified an may not work reliably with this phone? What do I do?

    Is the cable the one that came with your Apple device? Is it a replacement cable that you purchased? If it is, did you purchase an Apple certified cable?

  • What kind i do with this issue on this iphone

    what kind i do with this issue on this iphone any recomendation

    Well, you have encountered the activation lock on the phone and there is absolutely nothing you can do about this.
    Where did you get the phone from?  You need to contact the previous owner of the phone to get this information and if you can't, then the phone is useless to you and you will never be able to use this phone again.
    Congratulations on owning a very expensive paperweight.

  • How do i get my sim to work with this phone?

    I just bought a used iphone, when i put my sim card in, it says it is lock. I have done this before and been able to use instantly, but this time it wont come on. HOw do i get my sim to work with this phone?

    If your iPhone was unlocked and has relocked after an update to iOS, then the iPhone was hacked to unlock it and has now been locked back to the original carrier. You'll need to contact the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked and request unlocking. They may refuse to do so since you're not the person with whom they had the contract.
    Regards.

    I get a error message "To charge faster, use the cable and device that were provided with this phone" when charging my Samsung Galaxy note 3. I took it to a store last week and they said it has something to do with the last software update.  They tried charging it at the store and got the same message. I was given another phone, I still get the same error with the new phone.

    Wowuor, 
    Thank you so much for reaching to us today. I want to make sure that we get the device charging the correct way. There is no physical or liquid damage to the phone or to the power cord correct? Did this error just start to appear as of last week? Please keep us posted.
