LG AKA - User Reviews

  • How to find 4.4.2 official rom from google or other sites for aka f520s please help me..

  • I'm using this phone for a year now. It came with 2 year-warranty when I bought it, and I haven't used it. I installed minimum apps on it to preserve battery life, and yes - if you turn off wireless, and enable battery-savings features, it does hold for a day - I charge it for 83%-88% and it holds till 5%-30% (depending on how much I use its apps). It came with KitKat and still does. regarding Lillipop updates - It's not officially supported for most sub-models (Korean version does), but I suppose you can upgrade it unofficially to Lollipop 5.0 or even to 5.04. Regarding the "gets stuck" issues - Yes, this phone got stuck a few times, especially with the combination of a hot day, and many apps running (even after firmware upgrade from LG) , BUT I found the cause - as many recommended, it turns-out it was the plastic-cover that I bought for it. When I took it off,it didn't get stuck no matter how much it was hot. So, if you can, buy a ventilated cover (if possible to find), or buy a cover and take it off when you need heady use/hot day. Not using a cover at all? Generally I don't recommend it, but for your consideration. Oh, and I bought it a glass-screen protector - works OK, and doesn't affect visuals or other issues.

  • How can i hard reset my LG AKA?? Please help me. Thank you

  • Where to order the new battery cover? Any ideas ? Cant find it even on ebay etc

  • Is the phone available for use in the USA, it so what companies will take it.

  • Hello Vikky! Which OS version is running on your AKA

  • Superb phone.. Simply lovin it.. Awesome battery timing, soft touch, camera is excellent... Better than most popular phones..

  • when i call using my country code (+880) to anybody residing here (Bangladesh) .... call doesn't reach... but after omission of country code that is. +880 .... it works.... whats the prob???? I imported this phone from KOREA... pls help me ... my email [email protected]

  • As I know now in Cambodia, it is only199 USD.

  • i got this phone in cambodia,very limited,i think the spec still good using in 2016

  • got one last december.bought it from my korean supplier. was happy with the unit. cute UI.

  • Wow! You are a little too late there buddy. That person commented half a year ago. The phone might not be available anymore this year. I read a few previous comment. They said it was imported from S.Korea to Philipines. Maybe it got sold out last year.

  • Where specifically? I checked the LG store in SM Annex but the employees there said that LG AKA is only available in Korea.

  • Did you figure this one out already? I also encountered the same problem and not yet found the right fix on this. Thanks

  • Regular clear the cache

  • Hey Jeff.. Can you explain its disadvantages?? I'm already planning to buy this phone but i'm doubting now because of this comment.. :) hope you'll reply to this

  • Actually I can't uninstall it. There is no cross button for Come In widget.

  • I've done that but it's still won't let click Snapshoot on the menu. I bought mine from overseas website. It's unlocked without HK warranty. The phone works but Snapshoot doesn't work. Only AKA Space and Toons are working fine.

  • Uninstall and reinstall it using wifi network.

  • Does anyone know how to fix the Come In widget where I was trying to click Snapshoot on the menu but it tells me "Download app: Apps must be downloaded to perform this action. Additional charges may be apply to connect via mobile networks. Download?.".. But it's already downloaded the apps but the Snapshoot doesn't let me click or take a picture.

  • I a using this phone for the last 2 months. It has many problems. The phone feezes and stalls frequently especially the message app. The response is very slow. Also the corporate gmail can't be used with this phone. There is something very wrong with this phone

  • does this phone have OTG ?

  • Does the camera supports palm gesture?I so love this feature from lg and I'm considering buying this fone..

  • Can i be your best friend too kangaroo ahaha

  • It is available in ebay.i brought from ebay.phone is excellent.

  • Is it good?

  • May I know who?

  • where????? lelx. :)

  • Hey kangaroo_kyl69! i knew someone who's importing this phone here in the philippines and i'm using it now.

  • thanks dude.

  • I think this is available in Kimstore. Go check and inquire.

  • is there any chance to have it here in the phippines? It's really an interesting smartphone. My bestfriend would love to have one of those types of phones. It will be a great present for her. LOL....

  • is there a chance releasing LG AKA here in the philippines?

  • What about battery system and camera.

  • is it already released in the philippines?

  • it is great what i ever see in lg smartphones.

  • this is avlablel ,in dual sim

  • this section is for review/opinions. Not for stupid questions and funny notes. OK?

  • its expensive right - but cute ..i like the white one :)

  • This years may or next yrs ...

  • can somebody tell me how is the phone speed,for the browser? when you have more that one action being ajecuted at the same time is the speed on the phone's operation system reduced? and how much is it to buy one of those?

  • I got mine today ❤️❤️­❤️ its so cute and it works totally fine~

  • can any tell mi ibout screen and browsing it work find or nt

  • Thats what they called pre-promotion. Even galaxy s6 does it. Its too weird for me to see everyone using the same phone in a single drama.

  • Well, i've saw this phone in kdrama on february, strange...

  • Yes, you can by changing the case.If you have all 4 you'll have all 4 characters.I tried on my phone and it worked.Now i have 4 phones in 1 and it isn't slow.

  • I just had a look at the phone just now. The phone has personality and fun to use. No boring like Samsung and iPhone

  • Released. Not bad. Very limited.

  • Waiting for this phone releasing this month. I just cant wait.

  • This is the cutest smartphone ever invented by LG. LG design language is more on the creative side rather than innovative like Samsung. Well, at least they are not boring like iphone. The white one is so funny.

  • No. I don't think so. Each one of them have different programme in software. Loading all four personalities into one phone gonna make your phone slow and low on memory. It is not advisible to do so.

  • I know now that each one of the 4 LG AKA has and comes with it's own different name, color, character and personality. So is it possible to have Eggy, Wooky, YoYo and Soul characters and personalities (meaning the eye styles and themes) on one same device?

  • ^^ its so cute i like the design

  • S3 back? Looks nothing like it. The back of lg aka have a volume rocker. A design unique to all lg phones.

  • looks like lg g2 mini's front and galaxy s3' back

  • I also saw this in Birth of a beauty drama

  • Totally saw it on Healer drama. What weird me out is that the drama ends on February but the phone released on April.

  • Is it just me or I saw this phone before. Does LG have similar phones to this?

  • No radio? Seriously?

  • its just lg's moto g n nothing

  • Cool device.i love it.

  • Excellent Specifications

  • I couldnt find this phone on your website. I hope its still manufactured...if yes, where do i get it from..? Plz help with the website & current price tag.

  • They are just joking with this price

  • Looks like the spec sheet is somewhat incorrect. In the review of this phone here on GSMArena, it is given a ~23.20 hours of talk time on 3G, which is plenty enough.

  • True. I've got a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo for �180 with 1GB RAM and a lot more talke time for this. With all those accesoires it can maybe increase to �230 but �340 is too much. And does this phone will get an update to android 5 cuz almost every brand is getting Android 5 to its phone and this phone is launched with Android 4.4.2. A STUPID 4.4.2 MY S3 NEO HAS 4.4.4!

  • Specs are disappointing for a $340 price tag. I know your selling a girly phone which is cool but this phone should cost $180 at the most.

  • Wow, LG you still do not want to fight in the market. You are giving below 7 hours talk time in year 2015. Either Change your engineers or close your business

  • is it support 3.5G network

  • WTF snapdragon 400 on march 2015!!!

  • wheres the compass?

  • can you tell me the web where you buy it?

  • So the case does not protect the top of the phone ?

  • Is it a dual sim phone,kindly advise

  • Got this phone via internet. Nice and fast, fun with the small toy that come with it. Standard come with 2 batteries, ear piece, charger and cable.

  • nice phone many students will buy this

  • Nice phone

  • Hope this phone will also release for indonesia market.

  • fm radio plss and use li-po instead of li-ion, great spec though
