  • Jst goto menu and selet memory settng so that ur download app wl b savd to memory

  • This happened to me once too.. The only way to make it work is by reinstalling the firmware. Something like firmware upgrading. I used a tool that does that job (a program) but i can't remember it's name, it was long time ago. I only remember that after you install the program, you must find the specific firmware for your phone (mine is GT505-V10b) and then follow the instructions to "flash" it. Just google it, maybe it's worth a try.. You can also try the LG support tool, but I doubt it can get the job done

  • My touch screen aint working anymore. Please someone help.

  • me too...i have the same problem in turning my WIFI on.. i have so many hot spot here in my location but when i started turning it on,it took me approx 30 mins but still waiting for my WIFI turns on..if you can provide me the steps/procedures how to make my WIFI turns on fast,i'll be very thankful for that...

  • I have got this phone since December of 2009. It still works fine, I use it everyday as my primary phone. I can say I am impressed by the sound quality on the earpiece while in call, reception is fine, battery life is average (lasts for 2 or 3 days, while on the first year it lasted 5 days), it is well built, nothing has broken off, it survived a lot of drops and water spills. It fell in a water pond once and still works. The 5Mp camera is fine, I am satisfied by picture quality. however, some issues are getting me nervous.. camera shutter sound CANNOT be turned off, while on call, 2nd line calling sometimes fails accepting, sometimes even if my signal is full, line is unreachable. battery status is not correct, stays full for 2 days and the 3rd it runs out of battery in a few minutes. the sound of low battery warning is really frustrating and can't be turned off also. there's no 3.5mm headphone jack, and typing a message with qwerty mode is like eating a soup with a shovel.. anyway, it was one of the best buys I did, I got it for 240� 27 months before and it's still "on duty"

  • hii can u tell me how 2 set tracker if we change the sim.already my brother had used it presently im using it.as the tracker is set 2 other numbr often when i switch on the mobile my balance is cutting and totally becoming 0.can u plz suggest me wat shiould i do?

  • you can't

  • I had this phone for 2 years. My conclusion: very poor quality, don't buy it. The phone lags, GPS works well only if you use AGPS, you will not find support for this phone, no specific widgets only java apps. If you want to run facebook you cand install the java version. After 2 years the phone started to drop my calls and sometimes when somebody tried to call me it acted as if it were closed. Don't buy it, for the same price you cold get a decent android

  • can android be installed on it

  • How can i make that when i change the view option in messages to "Threaded View", to stay like that . On my phone after i change that it will only stay just in that moment , if i exite "recived" it will turn it back to normal view , and if i'm in threaded view and i recive a message it will still show that i haven't read it . Thks a lot !

  • can anyone tell me bout the themes n installation of facebook for gt505?

  • can you turn off the annoying camera shutter sound?

  • Go to "Communication - Messages - Received" and then go to Options button, select "Change View" and then select the only option that will appear, that will be something like "Threaded View". After that, open a received message and you will see that the View mode has changed.

  • Yes, GT505 is Quad-Band. It supports 850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequency bands. The 850/1900 MHz bands are mainly used in the US, while the 900/1800 MHz are available in most other countries.

  • where can i find the settings for threaded view of sms messages?..mine doesnt have one.

  • Is this phone quadband??

  • cam is ok, browsin is damn slow, and the phone is a little slow but can b managed. a heavy phone, totally, its O.K.

  • My GT505 never had any of these problems, I bought my phone unlocked. Until today, never gave me problems and passed two years and one month that I bought it. I'm happy with the purchase I made two years ago, the GT505 that I have on hands, has been very reliable, therefore, I think that was a good purchase.

  • I had one of these to date,but lost it and i miss it.However it had problems like auto-restart(randomly),Wifi turn on/off issues and quite some lag...dunno if it was mine who had these issues or others as well....

  • Administrators and Moderators, I would like to correct and add some specs about the phone LG GT505, they are: 1 - Total amount of internal memory of LG GT505 is 154MB and not 60MB. 2 - In addition to the options already mentioned in the GsmArena specifications, the primary camera of LG GT505 also has the following options: Manual Focus, Macro Mode, Timer, Image Stabilization, Zoom. 3 - Primary Video Camera, records 320x240(QVGA) video size at 24frame/sec, also have the option Zoom, up to x2.0 4 - In Video Camera mode, there is the option to keep the LED flash always on, which means that can also be used as a Torch. 5 - The FM Radio of LG GT505, also includes the option RDS. 6 - In video call mode, there is the option to record video calling. 7 - The features of LG GT505 internal GPS also includes QuickGPS, and position location via Google Maps app with function "My Location". 8 - In messages (sms), LG GT505 have the option "Threaded View". 9 - Has a built-in Feed Reader. 10 - Has Flight Mode. 11 - In call features, has the option to automatically reject calls from anonymous numbers and numbers not registered in the phonebook. 12 - Has the option to sending a predefined text message to the caller, when we can`t or don`t want to answer a call. 13 - Has a built-in Image Editor. 14 - Supports MultiTasking ...Greetings ;)

  • Let me explain how to solve the problem of the phone memory full on GT505. A few days ago, I came across the first time with this problem of the phone memory full, I deleted the call history, messages, some notes, browsing history of the browser, but the percentage remained with the same internal memory, so I had to find another solution. I tested on my GT505 and the percentage of internal memory which before was almost full, dropped considerably, so do not need to reset or flash the phone. what I did was this: - I entered in menu "Entertainment - My Files" and I checked that some apps and games did not have the memory card icon over the icon of the app or game, so what I did was click on the apps and games options, and choose "move", then marked with a tick all apps and games that did not have the memory card icon over the icon of the app or game, and moved them all to the external memory. Only not moved to external memory, apps and games that came pre-installed, eg Google Maps, Wisepilot, Sudoku Cafe, Thomsons and Touch, in addition, also uninstalled a few more games and apps that did not make much use and so got more internal memory, to be more concrete, I recovered 22268 kilobytes(KB), which means 21.74 megabytes(MB). I verified this information through the summary state bar and also through the menu "management of common memory of the phone". The trick is move the apps and games for the external memory and also eliminate some games and apps that are installed.

  • Tutorial to remove the sounds of photo-camera, video-camera, low battery and others on LG GT505 Let's start by downloading the software Bluesoleil Link: This software tends to give problems to install and most users can not get it to install without making some changes in Windows before. 1º In Windows go to Start - Control Panel - System - Hardware tab - Signature of Controlling - and here you select "Prompt" 2º Then install the Bluesoleil, when appear the windows asking if you still want to continue with the installation, always choose "Yes" 3º If for any reason during the installation of BlueSoleil appears the warning "Do not passed the Windows Logo testing and can not proceed with the installation" you have to rename the CatRoot2 folder which is in C: / Windows / System32 to CatRoot2a and then return to try to install BlueSoleil. 4º If perhaps they have even rename and can not do that because a window appears saying that the files are being used you have to end/terminate the processes that are in that folder and to do that I used Unlocker tool. Link: Is a very useful and easy application to use, after installation is accessible by clicking the right mouse button on any file or folder and in this case will serve to terminate the process and also to rename this folder, this application does both. 5º When BlueSoleil is already installed begin by removing the memory card from the GT505 and then have to pair via bluetooth the GT505 with the BlueSoleil software, begin by selecting the mode visible on the phone in the options of bluetooth and in BlueSoleil go to the tab "My bluetooth" and click on "Bluetooth Device Discovery" for the software to search for devices, when to find your GT505 wait that the search for devices ending, and click right mouse button on top of it (GT505) and choose "Pair" or "Connect" something like that and then just put a code will be your choice to pair both on your PC / Laptop as the GT505. 6º After that will go back to Tab "My bluetooth" and now choose "bluetooth service discovery" and supported services will pop up in more prominent relief, when that happens you have to click with the right mouse button on the "File transfer service bluetooth" is the 5th symbol from the left and do connect, accept on the phone and when they do this will appear a window of BlueSoleil and on top in the address bar of this window write the following " \ .. \" without the quotes, the first bar will already be there so you just have to add that "..\ " without the quotes of course and click on Enter on your keyboard, will appear all the hidden folders from GT505. 7º Standing in front of our eyes all these folders will double-click the folder "Midis" and then double-click in the folder "EffectSnd", and it this folder that you will eliminate the sounds you want, I just eliminated the sounds (01 Shutter 1.wav, 03 Camcoder Start.wav, 03 Camcoder Stop.wav). If you remove the same I eliminated you can take photos without making the noise of the camera to selecting the sound of a "shutter 1" in the camera options, I cut off the sound 1, but you can delete the 2 or 3 if you like, the sound of Start, Stop and Pause the video camera also were deleted from the mine.

  • Try to uninstall/delete some java apps and/or java games, and then, access the summary status bar on GT505, making sliding finger on top of the screen, to check if the amount of phone memory got more space.

  • ***Tutorial*** How to send videos to YouTube directly from LG GT505 ------------------------------------------------­----- For those who like Youtube or better, for those who wishing to submit some videos directly from GT505 to Youtube, I will explain how to do this, without any browser or other application. To begin, you must have an email Gmail account set up Gmail on the LG, and then register themselves on Youtube with the same e-mail, the Google account will be associated to the Youtube account. Done that, go into your YouTube account from your PC and then account settings, on the left choose the option "Configuration of mobile" and then create a contact in the phonebook of the GT505 with the same e-mail that appears on page "Configuration of mobile", you can give the name that you want to the contact, but the contact email address must be the same as been assigned by YouTube. whenever you want to upload a video directly from the GT505 to YouTube, just go to the contact that you created in the phone book and click on "Message - Email - Google Mail" and then insert the video into email and fill out the fields that you wish eg. Subject, Cc, Message body.

  • I think it is highly user-unfriendly phone.It looks like its high tech state of the art wow-factor must have phone ,but it is the opposite.I am so disappointed with this phone and it makes LG look very poorly in my eye's.It has a very nice camera but is hard to operate at any rate.In short I will never ever get another phone from LG.

  • Pls change ur udp port 06970-32000

  • this phone does not support youtube live play.

  • this is not a problem, can solve easily. but acccept the truth is the LG is not great touch mobile

  • I bought this phone from cellular 2 buy and I LOVED it until in eight weeks it broke. Now it freezes every time I start it up and the touch screen and buttons do not work. LG would not support because it was not a US model and would not help me to find someone who could, and the vendor just said I needed to talk to LG. Complete waste of money and time. Would not buy from that vendor or most likely another LG product again. If it says LG on the front of the phone, LG should be able to help you figure out how to get it fixed. What a huge disappointment.

  • Voice recording i.e. recording of any conversation was available in Imate that I had some few yrs. back. Currently if they hav it, I m not aware, just check

  • It says call "records" Not call "recorder" it keeps a record of of calls received, it does not record voice conversations, don't know any phone that does.

  • This file is inside of all .jar files and to have access to it is necessary to open the .jar file with the program WinRar. After you open the .jar file you can see the META-INF folder, and it is inside this folder that is the file MANIFEST.MF

  • I usually just watch YouTube videos when I'm connected via WiFi and in this situation I have the UDP ports configured in this way: "1024 - 65535" If I want to watch videos from Youtube using the internet from my provider (Vodafone) I have the UDP ports configured in this way: "6971 - 32000" The videos run better and have better quality if we use a WiFi connection or a 3G/3,5G connection.

  • mottoman where do i find that.....MANIFEST.MF file.....tnx!

  • i mean,my youtube videos are not running clear so what udp port number should i use between 1024-65535 thanks in advance

  • UDP ports are one type of data transmission protocol that contains 65000 ports. Streaming is used to make download and execution of video and audio on the web more smooth and faster. In this case for example might serve to watch YouTube videos.

  • what is exact udp port no. in streaming setting..

  • thanks motoman

  • what button bar? ...the keyboard/arrows (left/right/up/down arrows) that appear in apps/games? If this is, yes, you can remove these arrows adding this code to MANIFEST.MF file: MIDlet-Touch-Support: True UseNativeTextButtons: false ReverseSoftkeys: true UseNativeCommands: false LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Height: 400 LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Width: 240

  • The internal memory of GT505 consists in text messages, contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, alarm, call log, favorites and divers. If you want empty some volume of internal memory to gain some space, you have to eliminate some of the options that I wrote back (call log, tasks, notes...)

  • mototman that doesnt work......higher the quality of video more square boxes i get.....i changed some random number in UDP port of the streaming setting and now its much better in normal video but its still crappy in HQ.....have u changed the UDP port number in streaming setting? if yes what????

  • In whatever format that is (MP4, 3GP, AVC-H264), to see videos/movies on GT505 the most recommended resolution is in fullscreen (320x200).

  • To watch YouTube videos with better quality: 1 - Enter on Youtube site (the mobile version) and choose the video you want to see. 2 - Then click on the name of the video, not in the image of video. 3 - Clicking on the name of the video will open a new page, and on this page below the video will be shown two options, one of both is "Normal" and the name of another option that will be next to "Normal" depends on the language we are using, something like with "HQ", is that option we have to click and then click on the image to start video. ...see this pictures to better understand...

  • oh yes, the installed 3gp is above 320x240, probably one of the problem, but i'll try to lower it later. thanks dude.. what about suggested resolution for mp4 formats?

  • my gt505 can play youtube videos but it cant play videos of other similar sites like m.pornhub.com...why is that????

  • I need help with youtube videos.....i usse WiFi for connection and youtube videos plays in very bad quality....i get square patches in the video and is not viewable....are others having the same problem?????i heard that adjusting streaming setting can fix it but dnt know what to adjust in it.......plz help me to fix it........

  • Use following application: This converter has settings for Lg gt505. Just choose the mobile model and it will covert any video into mp4 that can be played in GT505.......

  • Then maybe the problem is the resolution you used or else the video codec, if the resolution is higher than 320x240 will show as unsupported file. If the video codec used is none of these (mpeg4, h264 and h263) then it will show as unsupported file. I don`t see what more can be.

  • @ motoman thanks for the info sir,what am trying to say is, i have already installed movies in 3gp and mp4 formats in my 8gb memory card,yet the unit commented "unsupported files"..any advice on what wrong with this? i do have .avi movies and i converted them to 3gp or mp4 yet nothing happens.. but videos which are recorded via the main unit still able to play. something's wrong..

  • For those interested in the document "service manual/schematics" of models GT500 and GT505, can download through this link This document gives us to know all the hardware that the GT505 has, and also has many other information.

  • You can not play .avi files directly on GT505, what you can do is to convert .avi files to .MP4 format. To watch videos in Fullscreen you can convert at resolution 320x200. The video formats that GT505 can play are: 3GP, 3G2, MP4 and AVC. The video codecs that GT505 support are: mpeg4, .h264 and .h263 The best choice to view videos on this LG is: Resolution: 320x200 (Fullscreen) Video Format: MP4 Video Codec: .mpeg4 or .h264 (I prefer mpeg4) Frame Rate: 15fps Audio Codec: mpeg4aac Audio Quality: 128kbps Audio Channel: 2 Channels Stereo Sample Rate: 44100 Hz

  • what's wrong with phone? i cannot play converted mp4 or even 3gp movies from an .avi file. any advice pls?

  • Thanks! I am looking for a phone that has full flash support. Too bad this phone can't do that very well. It does look like an awesome phone.

  • It can support some flash content, but are very basic and the phone is too slow in these situations, basically the same thing that does not support flash. For this purpose does not recommend this phone.

  • The GT505 recognizes and reads the MP4 format, the problem is that it can only do this if you are within the maximum resolution it supports is 320x240, if you exceed this resolution will give error. If you want to see videos in Fullscreen the video you can configure the resolution to 320x200. Your GT505 don`t have an analog clock widget and a widget with the time zones for cities around the world? ...you can use one of these two widgets, install other clocks in the homescreen I think it`s not possible.

  • Even if you find a place to download these widgets will not accomplish much, because up to now, still can not add more widgets to the GT505. what you can do is to install applications to that effect, now install widgets for this purpose, I think it`s not possible, at least for now. On the site "Getjar" you will find many free applications :)

  • Nikhiiil, the link is ON, I tested it now and works ;)

  • You can`t play avi files directly on GT505.

  • Probably you have the internal phone's memory almost full, if you a have a memory card select the external memory as main storage memory. If you don`t need, delete / empty the call log and some messages.

  • when you take a picture or recording a video the phone automatically saves files in the root directory, what you can do is create a folder on your memory card for photos and another for videos, and after you take a photo or record video, move files to the respective folder. Maybe even this will not solve anything because all the files that you place on your memory card are automatically shared in common memory of the phone.

  • Does this phone's browser have flash support? I wonder why GSMARENA didn't give this one a review? :(

  • So,I have this phone for months...but i still have 2 questions..I-Why isn't recongnising mp4 format II-why can't i put on a screen a swf clock??

  • No! This phone has a proprietary Operating System from LG, their software is very fast.

  • To add new widgets to the GT505 is necessary to create them, in this link has available the necessary software to create widgets as well as documents explaining how to do, unfortunately I have no knowledge to create widgets.

  • You can not zoom if you have selected a resolution of 5Mpx bacause the zoom is digital but if you reduce the resolution is already able to zoom. Geotagging is the process of adding geographical coordinates, usually the data added are latitude and longitude coordinates, LG GT505 has this feature in the options of the camera, when this option is enabled, when you take a photo the phone will add to the details of photo the latitude and longitude coordinates.

  • You can not play .avi files directly on GT505, what you can do is to convert .avi files to .MP4 format. To watch videos in Fullscreen you can convert at resolution 320x200.

  • Mark this code 3845#*505# to acess the Teste Menu and then click in "Factory Reset"

  • Test Menu: 3845#*505# (very careful what you change in this menu) Unlock Menu: 2945#*505# 1. Power phone ON without a SIM card 2. Type 2945#*505# to enter unlock menu 3. Enter unlock code

  • I have not tried using an 8GB memory card but for sure it works well and should not shows any lag, probably than any phone we have the more files stored on the memory card it always takes a little more to access its content. LG GT505 does not have any lag in normal operation, software has very fast, the only situations in which they note any lag when using this LG is in multitasking at the maximum or near maximum, it allows for 7 or 8 simultaneous operations and as such in these conditions can we noted some lag, but in my opinion behaves well.

  • These numbers (1, 2, 3) let you add 6 contacts in each of these numbers from your phonebook. After adding the contacts and if you click on top of one of them allows you to quickly make a voice call, video call, send a message and you can also edit the contact.

  • First star Wisepilot or navigator. Then click on SHOW MAPS. You will see the dialog box then select option yes/ok. The main phone browser stars automatically wait for few second. And follow the instruction written in web page. But you have to buy license to start wisepilot.

  • 3845#*505# is test code for LG GT505. Just dial this code in dial pad and wait for a second.

  • [Tutorial] Applications in Fullscreen, How to? ------------------------------------------------­­ 1 - Open the .jar file with software winrar for example. 2 - Then open the META-INF folder, within this will be only one file, the MANIFEST.MF 3 - Unpack the MANIFEST.MF file to your desktop and open it with notepad of windows. 4 - Now we add at the end of that file these lines and save the changes. MIDlet-Touch-Support: True UseNativeTextButtons: false ReverseSoftkeys: true UseNativeCommands: false LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Height: 400 LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Width: 240 5 - Then, copy the META-INF folder that is on the desktop and it contains the MANIFEST.MF file that we just change into the .jar file, we confirmed the replacement and is already.

  • Wrong, I can see videos/movies in MP4 format with GT505 in fullscreen and with subtitles. To see videos in fullscreen you have to convert the video with a resolution 320x200 and to see in MP4 format you have to choose mp4 format and most importantly is to choose one of the following codecs (mpeg4 or h264) and convert at 15fps, this way the video is more fluid and does not present any kind of lag.

  • really?

  • guys. just want to ask, hows the video in this phone? and can i watch videos from youtube using this? thanks in advance.

  • Hi! ...and you, are you Portuguese? ...you know zwame forum? Thank you for your support :) As I can and I know about GT505, I`m always ready to help. Regard ;)

  • well thank you moto.... i only have XP.. but thank god you are portuguese...i will follow your very good job in zwame forumm ;) it has been always the best :P

  • Mr. Motoman, thanks for answering my questions because i have planned to buy this phone for my parties and taking pictures at night and also for academic reasons thank u very much!

  • I think the only way to eliminate successfully these sounds is via BlueSoleil, but from what I've seen in several forums, this tutorial has more rate success when done in Windows XP. It seems that anyone who tries to do this in Windows Vista or Windows 7 has had problems with BlueSoleil and therefore can not do what is described in the tutorial, that means they can not access the internal files of GT505 and can not eliminate the sounds. Therefore to do this is better in Windows XP.

  • Go 4 it !

  • hi there motoman....thank god you're here..about YOUR TUTORIAL and delete shutter camera sound.... i just can´t make bluesolei works...is there any other software to do the same ?????? i will try to do it in other computer but in meantime if u see this i apreciate your help

  • jade, see for yourself some photos taken by LG GT505, see these links please. And some in Macro mode Photos taken at night or in places with low light are not very clear but this is normal in a mobile-phone, but I think the photos taken in these conditions are acceptable.

  • hello. im planning to buy this kind of phone maybe next month. anyone who can advice/tell me if the money i will spend in buying this phone will be useful or will have a good result? thanks. :)

  • is the camera clear and crisp?

  • If you use the flash to photograph something that reflects light or if you take a photo near of that object, the photo probably will get burned/damaged. Now if you take a photo of something that does not reflect light or take the photo a bit away from the object, generally the photo in this situation will be fine.

  • does the flash of the camera works good at night?

  • any recommendation for this phone? because i want to buy it this week..i came from malaysia..

  • I am the author of this tutorial but just only today saw that they shared that link here. I even post the entire tutorial here, but is still waiting to be approved by a moderator, otherwise if it is approved, here is posted a full tutorial with links to download updated by me, and at the same time this link that you placed here.

  • What am I going to explain that when taken seriously do not run any risk of damaging your phone is not hard to do, but have to be careful not to remove what should not, because if they do,it only returns to normal flashing the phone. The process is to eliminate some sound files corresponding to the sounds that you want remove, you can eliminate all sounds of the phone but I do not advise doing that. Tutorial to remove the sounds of photo-camera, video-camera, low battery and others on LG GT505 Let's start by downloading the software Bluesoleil Link: This software tends to give problems to install and most users can not get it to install without making some changes in Windows before. 1º In Windows go to Start - Control Panel - System - Hardware tab - Signature of Controlling - and here you select "Prompt" 2º Then install the Bluesoleil, when appear the windows asking if you still want to continue with the installation, always choose "Yes" 3º If for any reason during the installation of BlueSoleil appears the warning "Do not passed the Windows Logo testing and can not proceed with the installation" you have to rename the CatRoot2 folder which is in C: / Windows / System32 to CatRoot2a and then return to try to install BlueSoleil. 4º If perhaps they have even rename and can not do that because a window appears saying that the files are being used you have to end/terminate the processes that are in that folder and to do that I used Unlocker tool. Link: Is a very useful and easy application to use, after installation is accessible by clicking the right mouse button on any file or folder and in this case will serve to terminate the process and also to rename this folder, this application does both. 5º When BlueSoleil is already installed begin by removing the memory card from the GT505 and then have to pair via bluetooth the GT505 with the BlueSoleil software, begin by selecting the mode visible on the phone in the options of bluetooth and in BlueSoleil go to the tab "My bluetooth" and click on "Bluetooth Device Discovery" for the software to search for devices, when to find your GT505 wait that the search for devices ending, and click right mouse button on top of it (GT505) and choose "Pair" or "Connect" something like that and then just put a code will be your choice to pair both on your PC / Laptop as the GT505. 6º After that will go back to Tab "My bluetooth" and now choose "bluetooth service discovery" and supported services will pop up in more prominent relief, when that happens you have to click with the right mouse button on the "File transfer service bluetooth" is the 5th symbol from the left and do connect, accept on the phone and when they do this will appear a window of BlueSoleil and on top in the address bar of this window write the following " \ .. \" without the quotes, the first bar will already be there so you just have to add that "..\ " without the quotes of course and click on Enter on your keyboard, will appear all the hidden folders from GT505. 7º Standing in front of our eyes all these folders will double-click the folder "Midis" and then double-click in the folder "EffectSnd", and it this folder that you will eliminate the sounds you want, I just eliminated the sounds (01 Shutter 1.wav, 03 Camcoder Start.wav, 03 Camcoder Stop.wav). If you remove the same I eliminated you can take photos without making the noise of the camera to selecting the sound of a "shutter 1" in the camera options, I cut off the sound 1, but you can delete the 2 or 3 if you like, the sound of Start, Stop and Pause the video camera also were deleted from the mine.

PROS: >nice touchscreen phone >high sensitive quality >multi gesture >wi-fi >5mp cam >and the best part is a VGA quality 600x480 size secondary cam! CONS: >camera shutter sound! very scandalous... ^^, >wi-fi (depends on the net speed) >not a business phone I haven't tried adding some applications yet, but as for me am not that type who indulge more for that applications.. If you want to have a touchscreen wi-fi camera phone I think this is it.

  • been using the phone for almost a week i have not experience any problems with it but i was a bit dissappointed as the GPS is too weak. And i could not also find software/applications for the phone. And also themes would be great. But all in all I could safely say I give the phone an 8/10 for functionality, stability and user friendly.

  • LG GT505 is a great device, despite having a screen resistive, touch response is swift and sure enough, it takes even where we clicked. In terms of appearance seems to be somewhat fragile but it is sometimes appearances can be deceiving, it is a device with good resistance. The autonomy of it depends on the use we give you, with very little use the battery can last 6 / 7 days, with a moderate use can last for 3/4/5 days, with an intensive lasts 2 / 2, 5 days. About the characteristics and performance of it I have to say that in general is well equipped and phone with good performance, software has a very fast and generally tends to do everything quickly without major lags. Until today and already I've had for eight months I have not encountered a single bug in this phone, it only proves the reliability of equipment, usually everyone has the idea that LG phones have weak and low quality but this is a different model for the better. Despite the camera lens are not branded as known Carl-Zeiss and Schneider-Kreuznach still be able to take good pictures in outdoor or indoor, but I have to make a brief comment here about this: when taking pictures outside we have try adjusting the white balance correctly in the options because the camera from time to time depending on the intensity of the light, photos can backfire because the white photography is so intense that eventually burned the picture. The same applies if we use the internal LED Flash camera, if we take photos with the help of Flash very close to object, the photo will go out the fire, now if we take a picture with the help of Flash, but more distant the object the picture already will be better. One weakness of this phone is the image quality of video recording, the image appears very pixelated and smudged, but while recording video does not present any lag, the recorded video is streamed without pause, the phone records videos at 24fps in format 3GP using the codec h263, resolution is only QVGA (320x240). The experiences I've ever done I can say that recording video is much better when filmed indoors and also filmed very well in low light, do the test shooting a video in ourdoors, another in interior under normal light and another in the interior but in low light, transfer the videos to your PC and see the difference. Only one thing I forgot to mention above, can you take pictures without the shutter sound, I can but I had to remove one of shutter sounds, it also gives to mute the Auto-Focus, timer, etc., all other sounds the phone also give to delete if they wish. On the GPS I have to say that unfortunately there is not a navigation software quality that is not necessary to always be connected to the Internet to function and thus the function of LG GPS for navigation is practically useless. For other purposes without the navigation is still some software to make use of GPS, such as software to indicate our location by coordinates and also some software can show us a map to our location, there is also software for tracking and Geo-Caching running this equipment, be noted that this phone has very good reception of GPS signal, it also has some additional services like GPS: A-GPS, QuickGPS and Geo-Tagging. With the help of extra software you can see movies with subtitles in this phone, although he can read only formats 3GP, MP4 and AVC-H264, the image quality of movies is good, very good quality and excellent is for most expensive other equipments. The sound quality is pretty good on call and without interference, although no audio-jack 3.5 mm gives to buy an adapter, the sound when listening to MP3 with the phones is also quite good. This phone has a document reader, PDF, Txt, Word, Excel, Power Point.

  • this phone is great....

  • i'm planning to buy a phone and i have narrowed it down to lg gt505, samsung monte,samsung star samsung corby pro and nokia 5530? what i'm looking for in a phone is screen clarity, effective accelerometer and touchscreen (where it takes a millisecond for the screen to respond), camera with flash that takes clear photos (not necessarily high pixel), with java and can install jar files, with document viewer (especially pdf and word coz i install ebooks), and the wifi is not so sluggish, and can install maps whether google, ovimaps or etc. i hope someone can help me decide which is the best. I'm not really particular whether the phone is 3g or not as long as the above are there. thanks

  • What is the video capture resolution of this phone? thanks.

  • which is better? gt505 or samsung jet?

  • where can i download themes for GT505. it seems like there is no themes in mobile9.net

  • This is not the km555e section sir.

  • I don't like this phone. The software is so buggy. Plus the 5mp camera is not a 5mp camera at all. I'll compare to some phone like C510 of SE and 5800 of nokia which is 3.2mp only. The phones that i said performs better when it comes to camera quality. Plus the boring UI. I don't really like the UI of this phone. Laggy browser. It's not worth it to buy this phone trust. I'll go with LG KM555 better UI with the small touch of S-class interface. Good battery life. Good camera quality. No buggy software. Plus wifi for only 7990. That's worth buying for.

  • I am alone here.. :(

  • Is there a way to use thd full scree when using opera mini? I hate the dpad..

  • for me LG GT505 is better than samsung monte. monte may be lghter but GT is slimmer. GT comes with a flash, monte does not have one. 5MP vs. 3.15MP.

  • I think LG company has to hire better experts to write a friendly manual. The way they direct you to set up an email account is junk and i do not want to add another poor progammers group writing the PC SUITE. If you guys try to make your manual more friendlier, I am pretty sure your sale is better.

  • camera won't be a matter to me but what i'm asking is which is better between those units..... my question actually pertains to resolution, internal features, etc. coz there are cameras' that has very low pixel but has the good quality than the high ones.

  • in monte there is 3.2 mp camera nd in gt505 5mp camera.........so you decide which one u want nd chck 4 all other details whch u want to have

  • this lg gt 505 is the best

  • I have wetravel installed on my phone, but I did not have time to try it. To install it correctly I need to download the phoneUploader? The only software that I've tried is GoogleMaps which I good only if you have internet on your phone(with low costs). Gmaps does not include the map, but I downloads the part of map where you are positioned. Trying to us this software in roaming will cost you a lot!

  • i tried the WeTravel program on mine and it worked fine with voice navigation and everything here in spain and its free.if you go to the WeTravel site you can find all you need and if you search in google you can find the install guide too.pretty easy to set up.there are also GMaps which i think is also free but i havent used that one.i know WeTravel is free cos i used it with-out the sim card inserted and all went fine.

  • This phone is OK. Good reception good sound. Battery life around 3-4 days normal use. For the price this mobile phone is very good. Can anyone tell me where I can find a Navigation software for this phone with the maps included. I want to use it when I will travel abroad and to download the maps abroad will cast a fortune. Thank you

  • Yes I thought so. My battery is a Li-ion 1100 and hers is a 1000. She charged it all night Tues night, it was full weds morning, she did 4 texts, no calls, so on standby all day. She forgot to charge it weds night and by this 8.00am morning (Thurs) it was flat and turned itself off. 18 hours again. Unfortunately we have no option but to have the wifi on to get a signal. I think that this phone or network was a wrong decision!

  • dude id have to say that its obviously cos its conected to wi-fi all day.the gt505 has a li-lon 1000 mAh battery and depending on what type of blackberry you have its possible that your phone could have up to a li-lon 1400 mAh battery like in the storm models for example.your blackberry is a more capable phone for that type of thing but check the gsm.arena specs on you battery size to make sure anyway.my gt505 with the same usage(without using wi-fi) lasts 4 days.

  • Does anyone know why the wife's Brand New GT505 is flat in 18 hours. It's charged over night to show full battery in the morning, she uses it very lightly, maybee 2/3 calls and 10 texts a day, yet within 18 hours its flat! Orange already replaced the battery. It is continuously connected to wifi (uma) in the office and house as the orange signal is poor inside, yet my Blackberry is also continuously connected and I'm on it all day and my charge will last for 3-4 days.....any ideas anyone?

  • How about battery? How much does it last in real life conditions? Is the touchscreen responsive?

  • How about battery? How much does it last in real life conditions?

  • Please download GoogleMaps software or else go to LG website for navigational point, available for temporary period.

  • I couldn't find Document Viewer in my Phone, Where could i download this ? Hope you see my text here kindly tell me. Thanks Phyrom

  • Nothing can describe how much I like GT505. But i do not know money. So there's one advice for someone who want to buy one phone for himself/herself: "you should buy GT505".

  • i have it very good phone this is almost the best phone i haved.. "in my life the phones i have was ..Nokia 5800.5230.6120 Samsung omnia 1,Samsung s5230.Lg chocolate shine.Lg 2g.3G.." LG GT505 is no 2..After Omnia!!!

  • i have error while sending message. Do anyone have this problem ??

  • Thanks Steven!

  • oh yeah i forget i hear some rumor that the slider on se c905 is very2 poor hope that can help you

  • i think you better take lg gt505 because: 1.the price is cheaper than se c905 2.the screen is bigger than se c905 3.this phone have a accelerometer on home screen and main menu and se c905 only at media that's are my opinion i hope that can help you choose between lg gt505 and se c905

  • so... to all user of gt505... any problem with ur phone? are u satisfied with it? and how long have u had it?.

  • to use inner cam;first open camera then go into settings.touch the arrow to go from 1/2 to 2/2 and yourll see "swap cam".do the same to go back to main cam again.if youre still not sure let me know so i can help

  • Dear Sir, I want to know about GPS. How i can used GPS ? Can you tell me about that ? Thanks & regards Kabir

  • yes

  • Does it support MicroSDHC ?

  • sir i need to know about this product plz

  • thank you topy007.

  • i have BSNL 3G support.presently LG GT-505 is not supporting for mobile TV application.may i know how/when i can get mobile TV support in my set?

  • dear sir Please provide the process of using navigation in gt505. how can we search any place in mobile. Please provide any ppt.

  • I didn't managed to do that, and I'm kind of ok with my phone... so my best guess is you can't record your conversation.

  • well, you can seem the "threaded" if that's what you mean... but that option changes to default view every time, like the music player forgets about shuffle and repeat setting every time...

  • ad?

  • May I know does the SMS shown as a conversation format?

  • can you record a voicecall on this phone?

  • You get (or at least I did) the phone, the stylus, the charger + data cable (they work together), the hands-free and the screen protection. Sort of all you need..

  • Thank you coozo for your imfors but what is in the package??? Thanks in advance

  • i like this phone.it is best to campare 5800nokia touch sensitive is ok.and high speed access net.agps is ok.

  • Samsung Galaxy 2

  • dude ive just got this phone and also have the renoir,arena and the gc900.the truth is this phone is 99.5% the same as the kc910 renoir.it has the same boring interface but with a weaker cam and cheaper feeling plastic body.pretty much the only diff is the wiseplot app.dont get me wrong,wat it does it does well but between the arena and this one the cam is better in the arena(km900).it has the same music player as the km900 and the gc900 but i cant test how good it is because the headphone adapter in the gt505 is completely different.its a type of mini usb thing so none of my headphones fit and here in spain there is no adapter available yet.if yourve ever had the renoir it wont be a big change but if your comin from somethin like the km900 its a real let down.id go for the km900 for the cam,captive screen and 3.5mm jack with good in-built memory.just my opinion but hope it helps as im going back the km.the best cam ive ever had in an lg is the kc910 though.anyway,my opinion may differ to others but like i said,to me its the km900 if you have to choose.

  • Which one is better KM900 Arena or GT505? Can someone comment? Thanks

  • How is music and camera of this phone? Also what is in the pakage box? Can user please comment thanks in advance.

  • i am weary of different phones if i cannot see them online so i was dubious of this 1 but i can trufully say as a piky mobile person it is the best phone yet even beating the new mega 12 pixel

  • I have this phone. Sound quality is good, don't know about setting up e-mail, can hold up to about 400 ish sms (both inbox and outbox together) and it can use Opera mini. The PC/phone application is pretty cruddy though. But overall, a very good phone.

  • what about sound is it ordinary or highly stereo what about the sound in the handsfree? i consider buying that phone so please reply me

  • I am considering this phone will some tell 1. how the comfortable is setting up email and 2.is it compatible with opera mini browser? 3. How many sms can you store? 4. How good is the PC-Phone s/w. 5.Can you download appliations from PC to phone. 6. Does it sync well with Outlook ? 7. How long does the power last between charges?

  • Its a good phone with affordable price. if u use it properly all the features work fine.

  • ok, my bad, the headset doesn't work either... we're stuck with camera sounds it seems

  • Hey there, you have a zoom for both cameras, and for video, but the zoom function is not available in 5MP mode, you have to choose a lower resolution to activate the zoom. And as to my knowledge, the only way to stop the camera sound, is by plugging in the headset :) (silent mode doesn't silence the camera sound :P)

  • Hey there, I've used the GPS a little myself, and it worked great, from the first try... too bad you gotta pay 4 it after a while :( (but then again, nothing's free :D )

  • yes.........easy and free

  • the phone is sometimes freezing, when you are listening to the music, you can set any programs, and you should restart the handset if the phone has error, but if you see the face of the body, its really nice for us using, thanks for watching.

  • not for free

  • no

  • gps is goood but after 60 days you must payd for license. 79 euro for 365 days and again and again that means is bubu

  • i think that this fone is amazin!! it is good for a normal non worker and also really good for a buissness man or sum1 that has a job. it has great features on it and works great!! :) it's alot better than the lg tocco lite and lgg cookie kp500!! BUY NOW!! :)

  • hmmmm

  • excuse me guys .i am going to purchase this mobile.please tell me some one about this mobile, in this mobile good or bad. and battery life,camera,video,and all specialization, please some one tell me.

  • Hi people . i am going to buy this lg gt 505 . its very interesting , it has good specifications , it isnt expensive . But i have 1 question ! Is audio port on this phone for standard 3,5 mm audio jack ? And is Wi-Fi and GPS works GOOD? Please answer Thanks

  • No, you can't install Garmin etc because the phone has an proprietary software from LG, but you can install WeTravel - a java application that is now not so advanced but it works.

  • I have that phone and it's very good for the money. There is some problems with WiFi connection but it still works, the GPS is good because you can use WeTravel (a java gps application), the touchscreen is very sensitive (better than KU990), battery is very nice - it stays on for ~5-6 days with moderate use but it appears full for ~5days and after first battery line is gone you need to charge it.

  • superb go for it ok

  • How is the battery life?

  • It has proprietary LG UI (No Win. Mobile etc) All in all en excellent value for your money. The white color is amazing...!!!!

  • hello peoaple this mobile phone have windows mobile? can i install garmin, or sygic on it? please response, thx

  • To get rid of the numbers, slide a finger across the screen,quite hard and several times; the numbers will then disappear.

  • Thanks Tom, would never have worked that out!

  • facing your cellphone, slide your finger touching the screen from left to right or vice versa, hope it will work

  • I have accidently turned on something that is giving me the numbers 1, 2 and 3 on the home screen. There is also a small plus sign thats appeared down the bottom right of the screen. Any 1 no how to get rid of this?

  • i ment shutter sound in previous query

  • hi all, i bought this phone a few days back and just getting familiarized with. 2 questions: 1. is there a zoom wth still camera (zoom is working with movie) 2. any chance to mute the sgutter sound regards

  • I Savin wat is "we Travel"? It,s a software or program free? U have purchase or a free download? Tanks

  • I bought dis phone for fun... bt as it turns out 2 be pretty good one. yeah it lacks some speed on the GPS stuffs and the sound is a bit low,... it was a bit hard, gettin used 2 dis fone... Still it has almost all the features. Stylish... Real value 4 money. pretty awsome cam..... All around its an awsome phone. bst of luck 2 ya!!!!

  • you should keep it close to window, my gps wisepilot and also we travel works quite ok

  • It's a quite good phone, value for money.Camera is great, but only in sunshine. In darkness, flash didn't help too much. I install "we travel" applicatiopns in order to have a free gps. wi-fi works ok, youtube also works. radio fm works very bad no sensitivity, but it is the only bad point of gt505

  • i did(romania). turned it on for a 10 km car trip. after 9 km it finally started working. my best guess is that it has difficulty connecting to a gps sattelite.

  • Hi. Its a good phone and value for money. Need to try out apps that are available over the net for free. If your budget is this and your interest is towards installing more apps to your phone, go for 5800. Camera is great but video recording and playback is not so great(below avg). 5800 camera is not up to the mark but video recording is good. Overall its fast and simple.

  • Hey. can anyone get back to me on how do i get the GPS to work? I can't seem to make it work. I'm frm Singapore

  • very good

  • Wad file muz i convert my video to, so that gt 505 can read it ?? Coz currently it cant read any... And can i off the camera shutter sound ?? O.o

  • Of course...

  • do gt505 support mp3/wma/acc?????

  • i dont think is has any OS as it is not any OS based & is a simple cell with all normal features. email to the company

  • it's a great phone.i have just recived it.we had no "fights" by now;-))

  • so... the camera is 5mp.... my question is... can you switch off the shutter sound or silent it?.... can you used opera mini with wi-fi?... and sound... is it good?.... tq.....

  • is it a good phone? is it has a fastly speed when using wifi? how about qualyti of camera? i want to buy it but i dont know how about it? please tell me about it

  • its a gr8 phone.... the camera is kewl.... applications r way 2 gud... its a gr8 phone overall!!! love it muahz

  • This phone is "best deal", meaning it has the most features at the lowest price.Only cost 70 euro, dont think u can get all those features cheaper.If you dont have cash and are in search of best deal, this is the phone.

  • Which OS (Operating Software) is used for this divice? Pleae, any1 response.

  • i have 5800 a worst phone i to have samsung star 3g which is much smarter thn this phone samsung with good quality thn nokia phones

  • iPhone rulz.10+ then nokia in my opinion..the most expensive from the 2 brand is best

  • No you should buy 5800 XpressMusic Phone It is lot better than any phone in this range. M.D. Bashir

  • 5530 is a better alternative even he is a little bit more expensive .W902 camera sucks big time compared to other SE's.

  • is this phone any good ? cuz i am about to buy it and i don't know much about it and... can it play youtube videos ? how is th gps ?

  • anybody can plz suggest me which brands phone is best in today's market?? my budget is up to 14k, i want touch screen...good video and audio out put...and best camera.

  • This is a Great Phone. My phone reboots when I choose input method for handwriting recognition. Has anybody faced similar issue. S/W version is GT505-V10b.

  • Can you download any application for this phone that makes it capable of playing youtube videos (and all flash based sites) ??

  • I'm using W902 for 2 months now and I'm very happy with it even if it doesn't have wi-fi like GT 505. My opinion: go for W902 and you won't regret it :) It's a great phone!

  • is avi files running softwares applicable in this?

  • What a style this phone have... Brushed steel for the rear part?!?!?! Awesome!!

  • Arena its better than gt 505, gt 505 is cheaper but Arena its way better.

  • there are Wisepilot and Google Maps.. Wisepilot is only a trial version.. 30 days if i still recall..

  • It's sell at RM1100 in Malaysia.

  • 69 euro

  • I want to know if the GPS feature is really a GPS and it's able to take you to a specified location or it only shows maps... Thank you!

  • Both are great phones, lg is more compact, thinner and more beautiful (in my opinion) Nokia has the advantage of s60 v5 software but both are great:-)

  • In Romania you can have it for 60 euro!!

  • i'm also trying to turn the camera sound off, but to no avail. :( it's so annoying. grrRrrr.. would appreciate if anyone else could help.. ^_^

  • i want to purchase mobile phone nokia 5800 or lg gt505 plz tell me which one is best and very good features..

  • Hi:-) I have both 5800 and gt505 and i can say that they are excelent cell phones. Gt 505's battery lasts for 3 days with moderate use, lots of sms, some calls, low usage of wi-fi and gps Nokia's the same... I find Lg's phone more beautiful and compact but 5800 is better for games and films.. Both are perfect for me:-) Peace

  • mum bought the phone yesterday..i recommended her this phone..good value for money.. so, i've tried it..and i still stand to my point.. for the price, it offers a great spec list.. the WiFi thought aint that good..laggy sometimes..but u cant expect a cheap phone to have a good WiFi right..and the landscape qwerty is kidda small..but lucky there is a stylus attached to the handset..other than that, it works great.. overall, i would give this phone a rating of 8/10 :)

  • There are 3 diferent screens, and the numbers are comands for them. You can put diferent icons on each screen

  • thankyou for answering. is there anyway to take the numbers off the top of the screen or not?

  • which is better?this or the gt500 puccini?pls answer....

  • it's for quick dial.... click on one number, then click the "+" sign on the bottom to add a contact to the quick dial..

  • gt505 is best

  • can anyone tell me what the numbers in boxes across the top of the main screen do?? i have 1 2 or 3 ... i can highlight them but i am unsure what their actual function is???

  • Clearly the Nokia 5800 is better because : -better display resolution (lg touchscreen sensitivity might be better because Nokia was on it's first touch phone) -better battery -symbian OS, the lack of a usual OS is a major drawback on the LG, java aplication are limited. The LG doesn't support themes, GPS has a trial version software and afterwards is quite expensive (about 70$/year)

  • lg gt 505 is best or nokia 5800 is best kindly replay

  • its good phone.; its good perfamence agps& wifibut camara resolusion is simply dull

  • It is good value for the money, however it is not clear that this phone is better than the Nokia 5800: * Size & weight: GT505 is smaller and lighter. * Screen size: 5800 is bigger (3.2" vs 3"). * Resolution: 5800 is better (360 x 640 vs. 240 x 400). * Internal memory: 5800 is better (81MV vs. 60MB). * Camera: GT505 is better (5MP vs. 3MP). * OS: 5800 is better because you have apps (Symbian). * Battery life: 5800 is better (400h vs. 260h in standby 2G). * Price: similar (in Portugal): GT505=180eur, 5800=190eur So the decision is not clear at all. I would go for the 5800 because of the Symbian OS.

  • can any one share the battery experience? nokia 5800 have strong battery life between charges. 5800 lasts for days continuously.what about gt505...?any one share the hands on experience....

  • i have this phone for 7 weeks always charging it last night i charged it at 9 o clock it was full left phone off all night turned on at work 8 o clock and by 2 o clock this afternoon it was flat and i had only used it for a ten min talk and a few texts .orange are sending me a new phone so see how it goes i wish i never got it and stuck to nokias .these lg s must be no good for my carbon footprint as its always on charge is there any way to get out of my contrct that i never signed i was due a upgrde so stck with this for 2 years

  • Very true - although I have noticed that Wisepilot as condierably faster at getting a GPS fix than Orange Maps (which I no longer use).

  • I found the biggest drain on the battery to be the GPS (true on every GPS phone I have come across). Since I use the GPS mostly in the car with a power cord this is not an issue. One thing I have noticed is that battery life has improved since I flashed the phone with original LG firmware to replace the Orange branded stuff.

  • is this phone compatible with apple OSX ??

  • Hi... Could anyone advice what/how i can install any S/W to use the MSN with my friend..?

  • Thanks John B.

  • I'll e-mail it tonight when I get home.

  • Wy GSMarena do not haves a review from this fone? Please send a revue about lg gt505. Thanks

  • A 3-G phone with a host of features must have a 1300mAh battery for longer battery life.A normal phone like KP199 has 1350 mAh battery. LG some times goes very mad. GM200 has 1100mAh battery. But a premium and the most advanced phone like GT505 has 1000mAh battery. A mindless decision by LG in choosing battery.

  • Please send me the manual on pdf for [email protected]. Tanks

  • Gerry - did you post on AV Forums? I have a copy of the english manual in pdf format. PM me your e-mail address and I'll send it to you. John.B

  • Regarding SAR, the low value published online is apparently not correct, at least when you get the phone from T-mobile UK. The included manual states that the SAR values are 1.14w/KG at the ear and 1.67w/KG at the body, which is extremely high compared to most other phones. As the jury is still technically out on the health effects of mobile phones, I'm returning this and going for the Nokia E72 - a very different phone but with some nice features and a substantially lower SAR value.

  • The thing about GPS is that you have to in the open air and let the phone completely still (place it on a table for instance) for a few minutes. After it first connects to the satellite, you may move. This works for me at least. Good luck

  • This is not a smartphone. Though the hardware is decent enough, it could only do with a slightly more sensitive touch screen, the software is a huge frustrating drawback on this phone. Major annoyances: Does not remember if you have predictive text on. The typing keyboard is far too small. Unless you have tiny thumbs it will be a nuisance to type accurately. Most smartphones have the sense to space out the keys I've found. The 3G capability claimed is locked off to only work through Orange Maps, which is an extra charge every month. No other application is able to access it. The MP3 player will ALWAYS sort songs in alphabetical title order with no option to change this. The joke being it uses the Tag3 information to find the title so you can't even trick it easily by including numbers on the file names. The auto focus takes too long and doesn't work well. The keypad locking is a complete nuisance and always seems to make keypad operated phonelines a journey through frustration. Java permissions cannot be set, so java applications are forced to ALWAYS ask whether you want to give them permission. Very little ability to customise the interface, the few widgets on offers are pointless or useless. They can't be augmented with other java apps. Can't even change the order or colour of menus. It losses signal often, and takes along time on "emergency call only" when trying to go between 3G or 3G+. There is very little to recommend the software on this phone, and as it is LG proprietary stuff it is unlikely to ever see any major revision or improvement during the 2 years I'm stuck with it. Throw in very poor customer service from Orange and this is easily the most annoying phone I've ever owned. That all said it is probably fine for someone who just wants to make a few calls and doesn't really want a smartphone or decently designed software. It could have all been solved by installing Windows Mobile/Google Android or Symbian.

  • Hi, I've got this phone for 3 weeks. I like it a lot but can't use the gps. I'm wondering whether it's an internal problem... the gps never gets connected when I use the jogging buddy or we-travel and the geo-tagging seems not to be workings. Does anyone know how to make it work? Thanks in advance!

  • Specific absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the body when exposed to a radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic field. It is defined as the power absorbed per mass of tissue and has units of watts per kilogram [1]. SAR is usually averaged either over the whole body, or over a small sample volume (typically 1g or 10g of tissue). The value cited is then the maximum level measured in the body part studied over the stated volume or mass. It can be calculated from the electric field within the tissue as

  • do you suffer from headaches with this phone due to the SAR ?

  • I have had this phone now for a few days and I must say it is a good phone. Bit cheap and plastic but the functioality is spot on. I hav not made too many calls on it so far but when I do I have to have the phone away from my ear due to the high SAR output. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem ?

  • Try Orange UK website for the user guide/manual Just type "Lg GT505" in the search engine of help and support section - I hope this helps!

  • Hi I live in Spain, ex UK. Bought a GT505 phone, looks good but can only download the user manual in Spanish. The LG site asks for the IME number of the phone, realises it was bought in Spain and only gives me the option of downloading a manual in Spanish. can anybody let me have a copy of the manual in English? Cheers Gerry

  • SAR:

  • Hey! I've just bought this phone. Very glad of my purchase so far! I just wanted to know if anyone of you tried to put 16Go memory SDHC. In the manual, LG precise that you can extend memory up to 8Go but on some websites, you can read that this phone is compatible with 16Go SDHC Card? So, I don't know if I can believe them... Thanks!

  • I've never used this phone, but I know that it can take Java apps,so if the programme you have is in Java (the file you download must have the tag "Jar" at the end) I hope this helps!

  • can it be activated on metro pcs?

  • LOVE this phone & highly recommend it! Beats my previous Nokia hands down. Lovely interface and VERY intuitive. Only phone that even comes close to touching Apples I-Phone. PROS: 1. Picture quality is superb 2. FM radio and MP3 playback fantastic. 3. MAPS & GPS brill. 4. Love the touch screen for both emails and txts. 5. Other feature that rocks is setting any MP3 to serve as the phones ring. CONS: 1. Not MAC compatible - you can only sync to a PC - would be great if LG would work on Mac compatibilty (Bluetooth works fine). 2. Answering Machine hardest thing to find (but we're there now)!

  • Just got this phone on Orange in the UK (as an upgrade). Only had it a day so still playing around with it but very impressed. On my plan the 'Orange Maps' which works with GPS are free even after the month 'trial' is up. This phone DOES have a flash for the camera - its an LED flash and very effective. The only phone I had with a Xenon flash the flash failed so I'm glad to go back to the LED type.

  • how much this cost?

  • good quality

  • they didn't supply wisepilot for free,, just a month free trial,,

  • easy operating lg good

  • Great phone! LG's reliability is better than Samsung.

  • they seemed to have just slapped on a 5mp camera and called it a success.

  • LG never makes a perfet phone line nokia and others...

  • All these things, 2 cameras and no flash, my rating:- 0

  • this phone does have FM radio function.

  • Does this phone supports skype?

  • Coming soon. Exp. release 2009, June OU YEAAA

  • the radio is one of the most important things on any handheld device which this doesn't have and i don't think by adding a radio will make the function of the phone operate slower shame on you LG i thought u were to make Life Good and meet our demands as paying customer,well this is one customer who won't be buying this phone

  • Coming soon. Exp. release 2009, June. liarrrrrrrrrrrr

  • The same look www.gsmarena.com/samsung_m8910_pixon12-pictures-­2813.php
