  • gud batery backupsmall gud phon

  • I bought this phone. one month already have it. I'm surprised that for this price is a very good phone. Many battery life, network coverage is excellent, sound quality is good. I just have a problem maiby with the software. When I press the green button handset and want to see some number in logs, then it very slowly scroll through the numbers ... terribly slow ... it drives me crazy .. I did a factory settings like colleague wrote under me and now I do not have problem with losing network ... for now :)

  • phone book capacity is 500 Message = 100

  • Disclaimer The following procedure worked well with my Lg A190.But neither me nor this websites owes any responsibility of its outcome.Your discretion is required ! Network Issues on Lg A190 Busted If you have been facing network issues with this phone or your phone has been losing network every now and then, then you may try "HARD RESET"* . Take out both the SIMs ,switch on the phone,dial 1809#*190# and then select factory mode. The phone would reload the proprietor's O.S from its ROM. Have been using it for more than a mont now, i am quite satisfied, 99.99% of the network problem has been busted! Smses are delivered timely ... :D :D :D *WARNING FACTORY RESET WILL DELETE ALL YOU CONTACTS AND SMSes STORED ON PHONE AND WOULD RESTORE ALL YOUR SETTINGS TO DEFAULT. don't forget to create a back up of all important data. Good Luck !!!

  • gud small low price phone,gud battery back up

  • Capacity of MSG. and Phone book storage ?

  • can you tell the contact storage capacity?

  • I have been using this phone for 5-6 months now. Its really worth for the price. As most low end phones, recent calls list and phonebook gets very slow when there are many entries.

  • Network functions of this phone stuck sometimes when using dual SIM standby function. Not very frequently but

  • Can someone pls tell me hows the signal, is it working fine? I'm afraid it would not work here in our place, coz we have limited signal.. (like 2bars)

  • someone help me can u tell me that should i puchase this phone or not? plz tell me fast bcoz i need phone

  • Solved, thx

  • Hello, i need some help with this phone. I've managed to crash the lcd and all my phone numbers were stored in phone's memory. I need a blind-tutorial how to copy all numbers from phone to sim. I know that every menu and sub-menu corespondes to a key. For example the phonebook shortcut is: menu -> 2. If anyone can help me with some keys i'll be greatfull. Thank's in advance!

  • i got that phone a couple of days ago..no problems till now..both sims are active simultaneously..u can choose an icon for each sim card,and each sim with its call history logs is indicated with a different color(sim 1 green &sim 2 blue)..u can call or send messages from either sim u choose. even though i think samsung E1182 is still better in terms of software with more features like active standby for example..A190 is better in terms of design,keypad,weight,wireless FM and torch light. both handsets are almost with the same price here in Egypt.

  • don't buy this phone, the signal come & go easily.

  • got a new sim as old one was supposedly faulty couldn't get sms after it sent at first but then wouldn't send or recieve properly or at all...handset fault or sim card?

  • He means that he just found out about the network issues. Probably felt the price was too good to be true?

  • Then why don't you tell us?

  • now i know what is the problem for this

  • Nice for long battery life, micro usb port for charging, quick charge time, 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones/mic. But seems no possibility to customize it (wallpapers/sounds). Maybe the customization could be done with a "cooked" firmware. Does anyone know anything about this?

  • It seems the losing of network functionality is a common problem about this model. LG people better release an update to fix that problem.

  • just bought this phone, i thinks it's best dual sim phone i ever have. Only need 1,5 hours to charge the battery (i can use my blackberry charger in this phone !!). With normal use, 2 sim active, call and text msg, it still on 5 days. Other nice things, I can use the radio without the head/earphone set. The bad things only some times the signal drop, but i think it happens with other dual simcard phone too.

  • It seems the connectivity losing problem is common to this model. LG people better release an update to fix that.

  • To make a call from SIM 2, scroll to the contact you want and select "options" -> "call via" -> "SIM 2".

  • what is realy battery duration between two charging pls ?????

  • how to switch sim, plz some 1 help me?is there any key to switch?what if you want to make call from sim 2,while both sims are active and calls could only be made from sim 1?

  • how long battery duration between two charging ???

  • pls does anyone knows how to resolve the signal problem of this phone? is there an update for it? pls help really driving me crazy cause I lose signal without noticing and people can't reach me

  • every now and then drops out incoming and outgoing signals after two servises

  • Call records is not available. Though, I do like this phone

  • very outstanding phone,,handy simple and tension free..buy dis one

  • no internal memory

  • Nice slim phone, with verry good battery life, bright screen, loud speaker, great keypad. IT'S THE WORST PHONE I EVER HAD !!! The phone get out on network and you don't even notice... the people tryes to call and they recieve busy / out of network tone. On your cell the display tells you that you have full signal. Only thing to prevent it's to restart phone every 3-4 hours... and if you are lucky you won't get out of network. It's a mess, DO NOT BUY IT !

  • Voice clarity is good.

  • How is the voice clarity while answering calls? Is the speaker clear & Loud??

  • hi guys can anyone tell me how to access the internal memory of this phone and use usb to delete some of the ring tone and paste a new tone into it. pls will really like to customize it.

  • I also have the problem of not receiving calls & signal disappearing. But this doesn't happen very frequently. Turn off the phone & turn it on again when you have this problem. The network operations work fine after that.

  • Best phone ever made! :) Nothing superfluous and works fine. 1 week of use and battery is still not down (about 1 hour calls + 1 hour radio without earphones, smsing, alarms every day, torch). And the port is universal micro usb! Two thumbs up, LG! :)

  • even when I have signal I don't receive call. and sometime the signal would disappear . pls how can s solve this problem. help pls

  • you're true this kind of LG A190 wasting your money the dual sim standby on and off the signal

  • This phone has a usb port to connect the charger only.

  • I want to surely know whether LG A190 got usb port(for usb charging) or not? Most of the other websites mentioned in their specifications as this mobile got usb port.

  • This is a Dual SIM Stand-by phone.

  • it is supberb phone battery back up -- fantastic value for the money

  • it this phone support dual sim standby?? or just dual sim active??

  • This phone comes with a handsfree kit in Sri Lanka.

  • does not support dual standby mode. just a waste of money if you buy this.

  • dual sim active and you can turn off sim in menu by choice, fm wirless, no earphone with phone, strong Flashlight and wery long battery.

  • can you tell me SMS storage capacity and contact storage capacity

  • Dose LG A190 come with earphone? Why nobody can tell if it come with earphone or not ?

  • nice phone coz it has 3.5 mm jack sound is quite nice dudes

  • just bought it cause i needed a cameraless phone with dual sim capability. Good things: -dual sim functions work fine -wireless radio - 3,5mm jack Bad things: -no customization at ringtones & wallpapers (especially the lack of a neutral monochrome wallpaper is annoying) -slow load of contacts in startup the other features of the phone are what youd excpect for the price =low end Overall its a decent dual sim card phone for the price

  • Please get the software update done from the service center or this phone is supported by the Operator please get it check with the service provider.
