  • You Are totally right its suddenly a quilte fast phone

  • how to create internal phone memory well....I need extra internal memory becz its have only 139 mb its to small.....plz....help me....

  • There is nothing you can do except reset the the phone into factory setting ...if you don't know how to do it, just go to any mobile phone shop and next time...just don't use this operation. A lot of people got into trouble by doing this. OR if you want to do this make sure you have the record of pattern...at least 3 copies and keep and save them in different places, storage, notebook or where ever you want incase you forgot the pattern again!

  • Mine runs ICS 4.04 now. Works very well and with AOKP_ICS_r2_GT540 it actually runs better than many phones created for ics. I know flashing involves risk and takes a lot of work but in my humble opinion it changes this 80$ phone to a 150$+ phone

The video explains it step by step.

  • i bought this phone 2010 still i useing.this is very nice smart phone,now my phone disply is damaged.but stil i working with my gt540

  • go to option and change it

  • please can anyone help me my lg gt540 optimus?

  • how do i change the language from some foreign language to english

  • how to update my lg gt540 optimus?

  • How do i update my LG GT540 Optimus software

  • How do i update my LG GT540 Optimus software

  • how i update or refresh my LG GT540 on through pc or mob??

  • So good

  • How do i upgrade to 2.1 ? Can't get whatsapp

  • long press on homescreen and select widget then select taskkiller after adding task killer to ur screen kill apps when it becomes red ur phone will run fast. if then too it is slow then try to delete some apps form phone memory.

  • To root go here Then after rooting install "SwiftDroid_v2.0_RC4_fastboot" Fast as! Running lovely on my GT540 @ 825MHz.m I love this phone.

  • For those who have problems with sound please get this. It pumps up the bass and the overall feel of the audio output 10********** in my opinion. MegaBassBeats Mod Install from recovery. Needs to be rooted.

  • great starter-smartphone for kids. its cheap in stores by now, i bought four for the original price of one, sold the two of them, slightly overpriced, and gave one to my youngest (8yrs), and the last one we gave away as a birthday present.

  • how can i get root my mobile.??

  • Shitty for music unless at a high volume/impedance; shittily-shielded soundcard. The 3" screen's a bit too small to draw on, but it works for the most part. The phone doesn't easily detect the edges of the touchscreen when it's being pressed on. The hardware buttons Call/Home/End are becoming a bit shitty; requires pressing a bit more even after it 'click's before it responds. Rooting was easy once I found the correct thing to use. SuperOneClick + ratc worked on the stock 2.1-update1 ROM. Anyway, don't get this one unless you have to, in my opinion. But hey, at least it runs Android.

  • If you want a unresponsive phone that sense to the fist, lack of storage, crappy customer support and a brand name that gives you nothing but grief than go ahead, it's worth your money

  • lol, of course I acknowledge that. Face is, have this crap phone over estimating it. Ohh loooookkkk at my gt540 I upgraded this piece of trash to android 4.0.4! It hogs all my memory and CPU cycles! Look it's 256MB DDR ram is faster than the One X's Dual Channel 1GB DDR2 ram! Since I upgraded my dying optimus gt540 to ICS, the 600MHz ARM11 single processor is faster than a 1.5GHz QuaD core A9 Tegra 3!! The hideously slow adreno 200 is faster than the Tegra 3 ULV GeForce! LOL in your dreams

  • I have a lg,i root and I have works perfectly .. not to brake, a 800Mhz processor.....2.3.7 android...

  • i have an idea of buying this one............wil it worth?

  • i can't download anything from this phone. i tried everything but then i failed.

  • The slowest phone i have ever used. A very long delay in response. From time to time it freezes and nnothing is working. I tried to upgrade but it didn't work.

  • attu phone

  • I hated this phone. Had it with Adnroid 2.1 (almost impossible to upgrade further because you can't find a fastboot rom to put cyanogenmod on it). Gets slow fast after opening 2-3 applications like facebook, whatsapp and gmail. really slow for youtube.

  • i broke mine hahah now to get the words most fastest phone

  • is there whatsapp applicaton for this fone ?

  • had it and now hate it

  • let me guess u own a galaxy s2 and u love it ha they are dated now the one x is fastest phone on market FACT!

  • Yeah, this is very good phone, specially the screen of the phone, I am happily using since 15 months... :)

  • Yeah, this is very good phone, specially the screen of the phone, I am happily using since 15 months... :)

  • Lol nova designed for galaxy s2 you joking? I can't believe there would be fanboys that takes Hell over heaven. Even the original slow 400mhz iphone can handle it. the defender game? full speed, yep has to fps? 5? great one. how on earth are you suppose to enjoy it? swiftdroid is slow, just displays fake benchmark scores. in real world basic non 3d intensive racing games are ranging thunder 2 plays ok, doesn't hang nor run at smooth frame rates which is really a poor excuse for a fast phone. i don't believe a 900mhz arm11 cpu is fast. compared to my SGS underclocked to 800mhz cortex a8... the SGS is way faster. SGS2 is even faster with arm cortex a9 but i wouldnt say it fast anymore... not like "Ohhh the galaxy s2 is faster than the quad core 1.5ghz one x!". Your comment is just unrealistic.

  • GT540 is SLOW?!? Just upgraded to SwiftDroid 2.3.7 last week (check XDA-Developers forum on the topic - this ROM unlock full power of the harware video accelerator) and now my GT540 runs Dungeon Hunter and N.O.V.A. (both games designed for Samsung Galaxy SII !!!) at full speed. With the strong community behind it this phone gives amazing results comparable to high-end 800USD phones at 1/10th the price (for a second-hand unit).

  • normal but very bad clarity in music..battery life normal

  • I heard qwerty keyboard is weary uncomfortable and it is not so durable ... Is that right ?

  • 2 much cost. N gud bt nt best.

  • Best phone ever, real hackers toy, it runs on 1000MHz max and 650MHz min, allsw it has 4.0 Android Ice Cream OS

  • can any one tell me how to connect lg gt540 with laptop....or how to download pc suit for this model...???

  • how do you install android 2.3.7

  • I installed on my gt540 android 2.3.7 CyanogenMod 7 , and it runs faster then official 2.1 . This is a great phone .

  • To play flash video clips on GT540 - Download Skyfire browser from android market. Try the Skyfire video player on free trial. Buy it if it works (it does!). This makes the Optimus worth the hassle, and certain more 'advanced' phones can't play video like this, but don't expect miracles - streaming and the likes of iplayer is imposible.

  • Remarkably, video conversion of embedded flash clips on the GT540 is possible by using the Skyfire browser and its ingenious Skyfire Video Playe (on free trial at Android market). This is a real bonus to the maligned Optimus - some more developed phones can't handle Skyfire video, such as the HTC Wildfire S. * However, you cannot stream BBC i player on the GT540 or watch live football, its simply not up to it...

  • i can not see some video on phone, which required flash player and it is not support on this phone.please help me out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • Me too.

  • I've had this phone for about a year and I can honestly say it's the worse phone I have ever had. I don't want to be a fussy duck but it is just awful. The touch screen has a mind of its own - texting is impossible even though the on screen buttons appear big and I have tiny mouse thumbs. It freezes all the time - often if someone calls me the screen freezes, and I am unable to answer the call. Sometimes I think I've answered and I put the phone to my ear and it carries on ringing. This frightens me and makes me a very sad panda. Sometimes my friends text me and it doesnt receive any of the messages. I spent days thinking that everyone hated me, I was a very lonely woodlouse. In my opinion, this phone has tried to do too much but the operating system is too small to take it. It is a freezy no texty nightmare. And sometimes, as I'm drifting off at night it calls me names like 'fatty doormouse.'

  • Phone is capable of Runing Android 2.3.7, I know it, because i installed it on my LG GT540, some custom version of Cyanogen MOD7, adapted for this phone, and it works really smooth :)

  • This phone isn't capable of running Android 2.3

  • Ihad this phone for about 18 mounths what a nightmare

  • I like this phone coz its handy and has various features,you can download 1000 of applications frm android market,touch screen vry good,3G Browsing vry excellent.worth for the price

  • Hi iam using this phone its quiet nice,stylish and good,camera good clarity and browsing also good ,its worth buying this phone.

  • How to update gt540 os android 2.1 into 2.3?

  • I have this phone, and I am ok with it. Yes it has a low RAM and slow CPU, but otherwise it is ok, it is a mid class phone. It is ok for its price, u can use your navigation perfectly, u can use skype and etc. I like it for its options. U can always buy much expensive phones.

  • Not as good as it looks and now very dated.Low RAM and little storage space for apps on internal memory only. Resistive screen problems worsened until unuseable. However, flash playback possible with Skyfire video player.

  • I hated this phone. not only is the use of it useless but it is also slow at processing. It was a big let down for me as every LG I used prior to this one was great. basically the bottom right button which is where you normally hang up or go to home screen lock the phone, which is really frustrating. When using the phone to send a message the key pad is a pain pressing 8 ends up making a space and pressing 7 activates shift. Any command for example to open contacts it's takes 5 or more seconds to open section. I had never thrown a phone on the floor before this was a first. Worst Phone I have ever owned. very frustrating. Might suit old person who does not need speedy response is good as has Google apps etc but that is it.

  • How much did you pay for this?

  • you need to update it first

  • You gotta make sure your phone is upgraded to 2.1 first or above before skype could work i bought mine upgraded and skype works fine

  • Is your phone upgraded? Because i bought mine from amazon and skype was downloaded without any hiccups i'm also signing into to facebook, google plus etc

  • hey guys.i have a question for you.when i first took this lg the videocamera was eccelent and was mpeg .now it is 3gp.how can i change it?.thank you

  • A fancy piece of crap,all the information is in Dutch.customer service is not help,not way I can find how to change to English,I don,t speak dutch.

  • why we cann't install skype and viber in this phone !!!!!!

  • I have bought this phone at 1/1/12 and from the very next day facing troubles. now i feelwhy i bought this crap

  • lags, doesn't send texts, can'there calls, won't log into facebook. Its just pure and utter crap

  • Wonderful and stable phone. Works excellent for all functionalities and features of Android.

  • Excellent phone! I've been using it for over a year and it's still as good as new. The custom unofficial builds of Android 2.3 really give this old device a boost. Too bad I'm going to replace it in several days with a SGS+. It's been an awesome experience!

  • THE Best Phone...this is what i can say

  • check this out

  • Iam using this phone for more than a year already upto now. I don't experience poor battery performance. Just simply turn off applications which you are not using or after using it turn it off. The following applications which can eat up your battery are WIFI, turn it OFF after using it, GPS applications, bluetooth, I used 2G instead of 3G when Iam not using my phone for internet surfing, brightness I just put into the middle. Do these things and you will not experience battery performance. We all know Android OS have a lot of applications ongoing while your phone is ON, just turn OFF those applications when you are not using it.

  • Really nice phone and good battery life. If you know how to handle all the applications of this phone, you will not experience low battery performance. Just turn off the following applications bluetooth, 3G network, GPS, WIFI, always remeber to turn off your WIFI after using it, put the light brightness to the middle, then everything will be fine. My phone is having 2 to 3 days battery life. Android phones have a lot of applications that is draining my battery and I only use them when I need to.

  • Had this phone before, poor resistive touchscreen, no android 2.2 , sluggish processor and GPU, low ram, buggy firmware, random reboots, crashes with SD card, drop calls etc... Not recommended

  • Excellent phone for a basis Android version with lots of applications from Marketplace but the main problem is the battery drains very quickly and often automatically reboots and also hangs several times. Currently on Android 2.1

  • The battery is easily drained maybe 15 minutes after full charging.

  • Hello, Now I use this phone and I have some problem with it,I want to update its version to android 2.2 but I don't know how to do so please help me! Thank a lot befor

  • Never buy this phone. Although the features are amazing but the battery is very poor. If you are running any application for 1/2 hrs, the battery gets totally discharged.

  • ...unfortunately is not possible to save anything on your SD card if you have version 1.6, because version 1.6 has not this feature,only from versions 2.1 and the versions after this version you will be able to save on your SD card...

  • Finally flashed my phone with 'android-2.3.5-gingerbread-cyanogenmod-7' . Works like a charm. was very easy. Hardly took 30 mins. Voids the warrenty but its worth it. Very fast, I have almost 60 apps installed. No touch calibration option and DIVx support though. But Divx vid players are available in the Market. will have to wait for next release for touch calibration. Also, it gives the option of moving apps to the SD card...gives a lot of extra memory for the phone.. Overall...it rocks..

  • I could related to that

  • or perhaps its because you have jailbroken your phone - and made it better, however, the base model is laggy and slow and does not come with App2SD and runs Android 1.6 its just not worth it. Im using the phone in the correct way, the updated 2.1 model. I cannot tell you how wrong you are, madam.

  • im having a problem with my phone...my phone is locked and i can't open it...it's asking me to enter my google acount but i don't have one...help pls...=(

  • For the price, phone is really great... And with some software from android market it works kinda fast too... so I really recomend this phone ;)

  • The phone is not that bad as a lot of users wrote in comments. If you want better, then there are better phones in the market. For the price, GT540 is perfect. The battery is good for an android & recharges pretty fast, like in 45 minutes. Upgraded it to 2.1 via Rom installer. Working all smoothly now. Only problem is that the applications get installed on the phone memory. I think that will be resolved in future official upgrades or even 2.2/2.3 custom Rom. The camera is good for daytime shots. A lot of free apps on LG world & a simple data plan is enough. If anyone wants to try out android for the first time, this is the phone for you.

  • Battery life SUCKS. One day , two days at the most with little or no talking

  • The phone is good, battery life is good, toch is ok and the price is very good

  • This is absolutely the worst phone I have ever owned. If I hadn't been given it for free, I would not be using it. I have owned it for about 8 months now. It is so slow and cumbersome. The battery life is just the worst. Texting on this piece of crap is an exercise in futility. It takes for ever just to get a few words out of it. The camera, while taking decent pictures, takes around 6 years for the shutter to activate. In that time most of the people that were meant to be in the photo had grown up, got married and had children. The wifi works well, as does the GPS. If it wasn't for the GPS working this phone would've been thrown against a wall a long time ago. For the love of god please don't buy this phone, it just encourages them to produce even more rubbish.

  • wht cost

  • Hi..why it's phased out?is it becoz the phone is not good?planning to buy this...

  • Bought one year back in Hyderabad. Now I came back to Colombo and touch is not working properly :( when u click at someplace it recognise it as some other place as the result when u try to lauch some application it'll lanch other application. How sad! Gonna go for Samsung Ace.

  • How do i upgrade it? Mine 1.61

  • You need to update to Andoid 2.1, before you can save applications to memory cards. Previous versions could only use phone memory.

  • delet the applications or go to settings and then select mobile networks and disable it. and one more thing i didnt get any idea about what u have said

  • i dont know what u r tring to say:-

  • does the application can be save in the memory card? coz it automatically saves in phone memory?

  • can you do screenshots on it?

  • How can i block an application from GPRS use? I am trying to use a crkd SPB shell. Can anyone help me.

  • Scroll down the top bar

  • I completely agree with the first user. Apart from it's nice looks the LG GT540 is hopeless. The phone is slow, touch screen is very very poor and it continuously crashes. It's not worth the money.

  • DO NOT buy this phone. Ive had it for a year now and I am really dissapointed. The Memory is slow - it keeps crashing and I keep having to reset it every week. It holds up to 5 Apps MAX at any one time. Please, PLEASE save yourself the money and do not buy this terrible, terrible phone.

  • hi can u wach youtube video's on the lggt540 ?????

  • Can this phone use the GPS without a data plan? Or does it have to be online to work?

  • I had this phone for over 4 months now and I have a lot of problems so Im planning on changing it to Iphone4 or HTC: Major problems I encountered was and still is : The stand by button or the power button is not responding properly since I bought it, touch is terrible, battery is terrible, always lagging/logging (whatever the correct term or spelling is). Too Bad for those people who are trying to buy this phone... Although it's cheap but not worthed...

  • I had this phone for over a year, and although I would no longer recommend it, unless speed isn't a massive deal breaker for you, it is a brilliant phone, I found it would generally last two days with medium usage (the battery is odd though 2% to 1% life lasts 5 mins, while 100% to 90% lasts 30 secs). The resistive screen is great, I wish more phones had them. It's cheap, strong, makes a great developer test phone especially if left with 1.6. Basically, the only fault this phone has is it's old. The LG interface included is vastly superior to the default android one.

  • hi all, need some help with this phone. bought it second hand with an upgraded fw half of which was in russian. so i decided to do the official fw upgrade and surprisingly the phone died. It stops at the LG logo and that's it. I can still connect to it thru the Pc but the upgrade software says it's up to date. Any suggestions would be welcome. I'm a bit disappointed as i frequently fw upgraded my Windows mobiles without any issues. Never bricked a phone before.

  • This phone is already phased out in LG stores at the Philippines.

  • I got this phone yesterday and I absolutely love it! screen is slightly resistive but not bad for the price. It runs amazingly on android 2.1, I highly recommend updating it to 2.1! update it before you start downloading, as it wipes everything you download from the android market. Also, invest in a good SD card if you wish to download a lot of games, the 2GB fits barely nothing!

  • major drawback of this phone is its resistive screen..thts why i bought lg optimus me p350.....

  • you Dummies how could you compare a iphone 4 with Gt540,come on think....DAAAA

  • Got this model today. But the instructions given are in French. Clueless about changing the language?

  • You can buy same product from taggle with 1 year LG warranty.

  • $169.99 LG GT540 for now anyways

  • did not provide price... But I wish I could buy this phone.. Records&Thanks Srikanth Gunda

Batery will come only one day if u use the facebook whererver u r. I´d lik a other battery when I cn use 4 more days. See ya =D

  • Very nice phone. Good features. Looks very nice at a cheap price. Lags sometimes, battery is very strange [says 15% left and i plug in the charger and it says 80%. etc.] PHONE SLIPS OUT OF MY HAND A LOT. or maybe im just clumsy. Overall, its a great phone and i recommend it. :D

  • Phone has many features..but the battery is really bad....its not so user friendly

  • Step by step instruction for upgrading LG GT540 to Android 2.1

  • I agree, i had it and the touch was awful, found it really hard to send a message which is one of the main things on a phone. I now have a iphone 4, which is amazing. It can play music, games, send messages easily and many more things. I recommend the iphone 4 but not the GT540.

  • i loved this phone,,touch is very responsive.. too bad it was stolen from me

  • stop saying that it is good phone where in fact its not and the battery is very poor. when charging it produces heat and the touch is not so good. sorry but im just telling the truth about this phone for the benefit of those people who is planning to buy this phone.

  • Cool. i have it.

  • the screen is pretty good but it isnt as sensitive as an iphone or an ipod touch. most stylyses would work if anything

  • Very Nice Handset Is Gt 540 Loock is Very Sexy

  • can som1 pls tell how's d touch..pls i want to no in a day's tym

  • how is the touch..pls tell me i hv only a day's time

  • its gd enough.considerin the price its a gadget which wil satisfy anyone..except battry its really good.

  • Lookwise and weightwise great, features gud, had lg launched it with more internal memory and better camera it could have become best

  • I have to ask something about this phone... Does he have active GPS without a buying an extra hardware,or instaling some od aplication is needed?(I GO or something like that) Regards

  • Those links are not working...

  • Its really a nice handset,using it from last 9 months. I recommend the Lg guys to just facilitate this piece with call recording facility.

  • i enjoy with my lg with 2.1 android...for that money it is great...

  • hey Rishi...i also have a gt540 and i think its the coolest phone there when it was released. i have also updated it to 2.1 and everything got even better.... if u r having a prob with downloads from android markket..you can try this:- on your phone,go to settings->applications->manage applications... make sure that the filter is set to 'All', now press 'Market' and then press 'Uninstall updates' dont worry-this will not erase any data or apps or media from phone or mmc. now restart your phone and i hope that the prob is gone:-) if this works do let me know please, GOOD LUCK.

  • Hey guys i have got this phone it is really good got i have had it for 6 months now , and still not borred of it but 1 thing that might annoy you is the old 1.6 software but it ok cause there is the android update 2.1 just click this but on overall i'd suggest you get this phone because it is truly awsome cameras definetly great !!!!!!

  • not a gud impression on me... its battery....not understanding...some time 100% suddenly its go down to 40- 50 %... and word "Hang" is always with it... means comp'tly unsatisfied..

  • A You stop being a cry baby, and stop bashing Lg Probably something is wrong with the phone it self these things happen nothin is 100% espically when it comes to smart-phone these days no matter what brand it may be, just return the phone if it is still under warranty and have it replace and then(LG-life would be Good ).

  • awesome mobile. includes all feature. battery backup it quite good . . . compare to other android.

  • y is it gettin so hot wen charged?

  • i bought lg gt540 last October 2010 the after 3 days of using it i changed it with a new lg gt540 because the phone becomes very hot even im not using it. lately i am experiencing the same problem!!! the battery will only last for 5 hours (standby mode). The system is very slow too... i hate LG, i will not buy this brand again and i will discourage my family and friends with this!

  • im apologized for what i had been posted recently. rather i would say, "I'm waiting for this phone to be legally upgraded to 2.2 or 2.3" but the worst thing is, im afraid to upgrade this phone into a higher OS from the 2.1. cause you'll never know what gonna happened and may cause damage the whole phone,and that LGE warranty can no longer responsible for that BIG damage caused by the user itself. i know that some user had upgraded it to 2.2/2.3 but im not an expert to do it. SOMEONE HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES CAN HELP ME UPGRADE IT?

  • hiz, i got the phone has a birthday gift from my sister in d UK. Fortunately, she'd upgraded the OS to a 2.2 before she gave it to me in Nigeria.

  • i want to know abt the battery performance and head phone speck.....

  • Does this phone has really the following 3G Network specs: HSDPA 900 / 2100 HSDPA 850 / 2100? On the box is mentioned only 900/2100 and I can not connect it in 3G with 850/1900. Thx

  • Try with a different SD-card, it might be faulty. If not, take the phone back to where you bought it/contact LG. I have this phone and have never experienced this problem (neither on android 1.6 nor 2.1). It is a rather slow/low spec phone, so depending on how many apps you have installed, you might get better performance by using ATK to kill running apps that you are not using.

  • this is link for that you looking for

  • Anyone know of a reliable update from anywhere to take the Optimus GT-540 to Android 2.2 and also if anyone knows of a supplier of replacement housing as my partner has one and it has been dropped and the corner chipped and I would like to put it back to original condition.

  • Update of Android OS from 1.6-2.1 is very simple,download LG PC SUITE IV and there you have update phone software,just click there,plug your usb in to the computer,(I have Windows 7)it works automatic.Take your SIM card out and do the backup of your important informations and GO!

  • how do u go about upgrading frm 1.6 to 2.1 with this phone?

  • I proud to own this phone (LG GT540)

  • yes that happens with android phones, factory reset your phone first and reboot it. Give google account credentials first time it asks for after reboot.

  • even if it has to take 1 hour leave it, go for a coffee smoke. the thing withit is that you have to be patient.it stopeed at 4% and I was like. ..wtf. kept waiting and surfing and it jumped to 56%. you phone will auto boot and it takes about 5 more minutes.Good Luck ;)

  • I had this phone for a month and I swapped it. The thing is, it's great that you can buy an Android phone for that amount of money but (after reading a bunch of forum posts) I believe I am the only person on this planet that doesn't like Android OS. 2 main reasons: first, it has a huge ring lag and you can't fix the ascending ringtone...second, it's like those apps have a mind of their own, you just can't f*cking control when they connect to the internet via data connection which in turn will be charged for (if you don't have a data plan).

  • 1. Bluetooth not working 2. Battary Poor 3. Alarm not ringing

  • is this 3g capable? Hows the performance? Planning to buy this summer pls help.

  • how i wish LG GT540 upgraded with 3g.. :)

  • just go to setting count 9 from the list of square of checklist then enter the first one is the language ok

  • The GT540 is far better than the overhyped i-Phone IMHO (Ive owned both) Mine is a refurb from Carphone warehouse and lo and behold it had 2.1 already loaded and running a dream straight out of the box The apps Market is superb - if you dont get anything else get google Sky Maps, and Kindle for Android whick makes this device even more brilliant and being a skinflint in my late 50s I can read so many free books its fantastic In summary - easy to use, unbeleivably versatile, zillions of apps, integrated GPS, Wifi and 3G, and looks nice too - well reccomended!

  • Please tell me any LG GT540 user about battry back-up & Document Viewer.

  • i have chhanged the language to hungarian, how can i go back to englsh?

  • sorry,no and impossibble to do so...because adobe flash need higher cpu meaning more that 6++mhz and must be on android 2.2 and above

  • U have to make a notifications folder in sdcard media folder means go sdcard and u will see media folder make a notifications folder in media folder . put ur ringtone in notifications folder.now go to main menu then touch setting then touch sound & display then touch notification ringtone now select ur ringtone.

  • I just bought the phone recently. I wanna know whether i can download adobe flash player??

  • Im facing problem to use it as modem. Installed LG USB modem driver, still not working :-(. And how can I update it's OS?

  • Seems I didn't post the full link to the T-Mobile/Orange network sharing info ...this should work ...

  • Found the answer, regarding an Orange signal on a T-Mobile GT540, here ... ...seems T-Mobile and Orange now share their networks. Hmmm....I'm not sure if I really want anything to do with Orange :-(

  • I had that problem as well with another phone, Then I found out that orange and tmoblie have merged so sometimes you will get "ORANGE T-MOBILE" as you network and sometimes just t-mobile

  • My UK T-Mobile PAYG GT540 with Android 2.1 has started to show a letter 'R'(for Roaming) in the signal strength icon and also will occasionally list 'Orange' and 'T-Mobile as the available networks. Any ideas how I stop Orange (or any non T-Mobile network) intruding? I'm running my GT540 only on 2G and have all Wi-Fi, Data Roaming etc switched off. Thanks in advance, Ricky.

  • Thanks Sasha.

  • Hello friends i have read somewhere that there is a bluetooth problem while sending files in official android 2.1 update. Is it true? pls friends help me.

  • I did what Brijesh Praveen suggested on this forum by creating a folder in the root directory of my sd card and calling it Media and inside this folder i placed another folder and called it notifications, i did insert around six of my favourite mp3 into this new notifications folder, and later when i touched settings on my GT540 and went into music and sound and then touched on notifications i did find these mp3 ring tones to choose as notification ring tone and i did choose one from the list and later i did send a text from my Motorola Defy to the GT540 and my previously chosen ringtone did play on the GT540 when it received the text message notification, therefore if it works for me then it is easy to do, as i am an old man. ( i actualy put the new media folder into the DCIM folder as i did not know which folder is root directory )

  • still i dont get it.. who can teach me how to use my mp3 ringtone in text message? :) tnx....

  • Yeah i have one of these units the GT540 and its not too bad at all especially when its low cost is taken into consideration. Regarding the up grade to 2.1 well um er i am around 60 and yep im a man and some would say that i am no more intelligent than a mushroom growing on a dollop of cow dung well i have had the GT540 for a nearly two days and after reading posts on this forum regarding the upgrade to 2.1 i decided to go for it and just did a google search of LG mobile sync and wham pow zammy within 10 minutes my update had started. Now i sorta got a little freaked out and despondent when the download got stuck on 4 percent for around 5 minutes and when it stopped and some instructions just popped up for me to disconnect my handset and do a reset by removing my battery and then plug the USB back in and restart the phone and at the same time hold the volume switch in the down position until some some notifications did appear on the screen and then i let it go and put the battery back in restarted it and resumed the download phew, well by this stage i had some doubts, yes i am a bad boy, anyways the download soon took of like a led zeppelhin and it seemed more stationary than moving and after a long time ( i went and washed and dried the dishes and toasted two slices then whacked on some real butter and penut paste ) anywys it all ended in success which had me grinning and wondering what my next big adventure will consist of. I have had a motorola quench and i have now a motorola Defy and the Defy certainly well outperforms the quench in all aspects of touch and handeling and i can say that this GT540 is a great phone and most certainly good value when you consider how inexpensive it is.... Yes i have been playing with it and its quite nice, the GT540 i mean, grin

  • i m not so excited with this phone.. it is too big and not comfortable.. lack of flash in camera DOES matter .. although it has better touch screen than i expected.. i still have an issue with seeing new events like message and missed calls.. i think anyone who wants to buy an android phone should go for SE x10 mini. much more comfortable device with 5 megapixels camera with flash.. and with much better touch screen (it has a capacitive one)

  • In the root directory of your SD card, create a folder called "Media", and inside that folder, create another folder called "Notifications" (you can also add folders called Wallpaper, UI, Ringtones, for their own stuff). Place your desired tones in the newly made Notifications folder, and in your main settings screen, you can select the Notifications sounds you want, for everything other than texts. - this screen lets you select notifications for everything bar texts/MMS. If you want to use a different text tone, than the normal ones, enter your text window(green icon on main home screen, and press menu, then settings, scroll down to ringtone, and it will show all the ones you have added. This lets you use a ringtone for calls, in the main phone settings, a notification for everything(bar texts), and in the text menu, a seperate ringtone for texts/MMS, etc.

  • alguem pode me indicar onde comprar bateria para o GT540f?

  • please tell me how to upgrade to 2.1

  • Its very cool and sexy ...Go for it...

  • u can buy optimus r optimus one

  • If your not using them, try turning off Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS. Also, If you have any weather or social applications, try slowing the update rate, say, lets say your facebook updates every 15 minutes, try make it every hour. Also, download a task manager and quit some applications you never go on. Although I wouldnt recommend task managers for day to day use. The brightness on the phone is excellent as well, when I'm inside, I keep the brightness on 14 percent. With all of this, my phone lasts about 3 days on stanby and the occasional text. With medium to heavy use, (Music, app store, changing around widgets etc) I've seen it last 2 days.

  • my battery in gt540 doest last a day.. it drains too fast.. what is the best that I can do?

  • try disabling the modem driver in the hardware tree after you have connected the phone and have started the update program, do not do it before as the update program will not recognise your phone and before the update is installing. This worked for me. It seems L.G do not know about this flaw.

  • this phone is good. as an android phone provides u various features... but one big backlog with LG is that they are not able to upgrade the OS. whenever i tried to upgrade it checks my PC and phone but dont download the software... its very irritating

  • no hun they dont charge you

  • I only used LG Mobile Support Tool, you can't download the driver or stuck when update?

  • Does anyone know when you use andriod market they charge you?

  • @Zaidy you have to enable "Only Massive storage" option, from settings/storage menu, otherwise, your pc only will detect your smartphone as a modem. i had the same problem :)

  • Right, on the SD card, create a folder called "Media" - without the quotes obviously.. Then inside that "Media" folder, create folders called, "Notifications", "Ringtones", "Alarms". - again, without quotes. Now, if you want to change your message tone, chuck your .mp3's in the "Notifications" folder, then open your message client(the little green icon on the home screen), press the menu touch sensitive button(lower left under the screen), select "Settings" then scroll down to Ringtones, and just change it there.

  • Can anyone help me to download app2sd application for Android 2.1 from Android market or internet?

  • Android 2.1 upgrade

  • I had just bought this during Christmas... It's gonna be a wordy post... be prepared. By the way, I have upgraded to Optimus from my super old Sony Ericsson W810i. :) -------------------------------- This phone is great. -Not much lags (except when playing some games like Angry Bird. It gets a little(minor) laggy at some maps but it's alright. It will get back on its track after a few seconds.) The scrolling of menu is smooth... (not sure if this applies to all touchscreen phones...) Well, almost everything about Optimus is good. Sensitivity is great. Just that after pasting screen protector over it, you might have to use a bit more force. Don't worry, you will get used to it. When I bought the phone, it's already in Android 2.1. It comes with OI file manager, Taskiller and some other apps (like Cardio Trainer, Shop Savy...which can also be found in the Android market ) I think it's nice of them to put OI file manager in because it can help you to install apps in the SD card instead of the phone's memory. [I'm not sure if it's the LG who added the apps in or what, but it's really nice to have them installed in your new phone.] As for the camera, it's just average as some had mentioned. If I would to compare, SE w810i 's camera is way way way much better... The quality and the sharpness of the photo taken by w810i is better... No light/flash?/torchlight?? for the camera. Overall, Camera: Average. How about music? As for playing music out loud, I don't find it loud enough. Comparing to w810i, (I know it's a "music" phone but it's been made for-who-knows-how-long ago, so I think it's okay to compare an old phone with a new phone yeah.) I'll need to adjust the volume to about 3/4 to feel that it's loud. (And no, my ears are working fine. ^^;) LG- 3/4 = Loud SE- 1/2 = Loud Then again, for those music lovers, you may want to use headphones... It's better... Market- It's a pity that I couldn't manage to install Apps using Wifi. The problem doesn't lie in LG but in Google. It seems that it's some kind of a bug... :l Another way to download apps to your phone is to download them to your PC and transfer them to your phone. :) Open them in your OI file manager and you'll have your app installed. Surfing net: It loads pretty fast though it lacks of multi touch. Then again, I'm still a newbie to this so I guess I don't need it for now. :) Battery Life: Great. It can last me for quite a few days... it depends on how you use it. Great phone at a low price. \('v')/

It happened with X6, because the limitation of android 1.6 the colour was limited (I forgot how much it limited) but once wou upgrade it to android 2.1 the colour become it supposed to be 16M.

  • @ Sandy, Bluetooth works just fine, for sending and receiving files. Either you aren't doing something, or there's a problem with your phone. Have you even paired the device up with another?

  • In the root of your SD card, create a folder called Media, and inside that folder, create another folder called Notifications(you can also add folders called Wallpaper, UI, Ringtones, for their own stuff). Place your desired tones in the newly made Notifications folder, and in your main settings screen, you can select the Notifications sounds you want, for everything other than texts. - this screen lets you select notifications for everything bar texts/MMS. @ Brijesh Praveen, If you want to use a different text tone, than the normal ones, enter your text window(green icon on main home screen, and press menu, then settings, scroll down to ringtone, and it will show all the ones you have added. This lets you use a ringtone for calls, in the main phone settings, a notification for everything(bar texts), and in the text menu, a seperate ringtone for texts/MMS, etc.

I wanted to ask how I can install applications to my micro sd card, is it possible?Please can you reply to this post. Thank you. I love this site!

  • I'm running 2.1, and here's what u can do: I've installed 28 applications and some of them are: AdvacedTaskKiller, AngelPiano, AngryBirds, ApkManager, Astrid, Astro, BeoGsp, BluetoothFileTransfer, Compass, ConvertPad, DolphinBrowser, DungeonHunter, iGo, LauncerPro, PhotoshopExpress, PowerAmp, QuickSettings, RealCalc, RingDroid, RunKeeper, SettingProfiles, StopWatch&Timer, UninstallerPro.. And there's only about 20 MB left available. Glad if I was helpful..

  • For it's money is a great smartphone. If you keep in mind that "you get what you pay for" you will be fine with the phone and can live with some little problems, like the low response sometimes (decreased greatly however after I installed android 2.1) and the hard to press back and options buttons. The touch screen need somewhat "strong touching" to work but this is because of the type of the screen and not software problem. It's not the iPhone, but hey, you can get this for less than 200� so it is a good value for money!

  • hi, thanks for your suggestion.. one more question.. is there any application available to "mark many, select and transfer" the files thro bluetooth..??

  • You can upgrade to v2.1 officially using the official LG update tool.

  • I just bought it some 5 hours ago, and all this time I've been on the net, with BT and GPS on, and it drained the entire battery which was at 20%, which is indeed very good for a smartphone. The interface is nice, although I still haven't done the upgrade, but will soon. The screen is well responsive and typing on it takes a while to get used to, but it's great afterwards. Browser and apps work great, multitasking is nice and witout any delay. It had cost me 130� sans contract, and I'm more than happy with it.

  • upgrade to 2.1 here,

  • this is one of the bekar android phone.just say kalank to it is not wrong. bad sensivity, low ram, bad display, bad graphics,low sound, old version blu tooth. so never buy this phone.thanx

  • Hi.. Can i buy this mobile. I need to know about the usages andthe battery backup. What abou the clarity.

  • discharge within 08hr when it is full charge wery bad batery life

  • People...stop complaining about battery. It all depends on your usage and what you have running.

  • Yes It has :)

  • sound s very low and battery pakkage also low....no charging capacity.....

  • @ deejvidd, Saves battery during the night..what that miniscule tiny amount..and what else, the possibility of ignoring a potential important emergency call...why have a phone if you don't have it on, and another thing, why not leave it plugged in to charge overnight!?!?!

  • it costs about 24500 nrs in nepal guys not so expensive i love it

  • until now i have all phones that alarm work, when the phone was turn off...another advantages is that you saves battery through the night!

  • yes it does turn the phone sideways and switches on automatically

  • i dont think the alarm works with the phone off in android 1.6 but may in 2.1. Virtually all phones these days have alarms which start up with the phone off for the owner to have privacy from people phoning at funny hours. I can only suggest if anyone wants to use the alarm but not hear the phone ringing to set the call and text tones to silent at night.

  • @ deejvidd, Jeez...maybe you should sell your phone, as asking a question like that, leads me to think you shouldnt own a phone...YOU NEED TO HAVE IT SWITCHED ON TO WORK, WHAT IS THE POINT IN HAVING A PHONE, IF IT'S NOT ON!!!!!!

  • my alarm clock doesnt work, if my lg is off! solution?

  • It's a touch screen device...of course it has a virtual qwerty keypad.

  • Does this phone have a qwerty keypad??

  • The price just hit $170, you can get it on meritline. No Epic 4G but great price for an unlocked Android phone.

  • You cannot compare this phone with Galaxy, or for that matter with any other Android phone which is highly priced. Please compare Apple to Apple.

  • i think u should go wid samsung galaxy 3 or optimus one,,,,,,,,,,,bud if u want strong batter and good camera then nokia c6 is the one.

  • i think u should go wid samsung galaxy 3 or optimus one,,,,,,,,,,,bud if u want strong batter and good camera then nokia c6 is the one.

  • Nokia x6 8GB will b best for u

  • Multitasking is better with Android v2.1.

  • Just go to nearest LG MOBILE SERVICE CENTER and give your mobile's purchase bill XEROX,Within half an hour your updation for andro 2.1 will over. BUT IF YOU DONT KNO WHERE THIS LG SERVICE CENTER IS THAN Just open the user guide manual of lg gt540 in which you will find out a toll free customer care no. started with 1800.. then ask them that you want to upgrade your gt540 they will give you all detail of lg mobile service center near your area.

  • Can google voice actions be downloaded & run on 1.6 version of optimus gt540?

  • just google it...

  • @ Andro, That'll be the A60, aka, the ZTE Penguin, and navigation isn't voice, but uses the voice from the programme, like all others, a 2.8" screen, and QVGA resolution.

  • well, it kinda does, because this phone (and android alltogether) are still not good at multitasking. so, it does multitask, but not very good

  • Guys micromax has launched an android phone which will be less than 8k. So go for that it has accelerometer and g sensor for playing racing games. It will be released within one or two weeks. It is the real value for money it has gps with voice guided navigation ,wifi , google maps, 3g with 7.2 mbps hsdpa and 5.7 mbps hsupa.

  • @ Anonymous, Does that question really need an answer?!!?

  • can this fone multi-task ?

  • @ claire, Yes, you can use Yahoo, it's on the market.

  • @ Help, Depending on how long you set the screen off setting on the phone, is how long after you press play, the screen will switch off, and you can select between a few seconds, to a minute or so, so yes, the screen will be off(locked essentially) when you are playing music.

  • I am going to buy this phone, but before i buy it I want to know can I lock the touchscreen when listening music.

  • can y0u use yahoo messenger with this phone?

  • this is very good fone in its price range... i think the built quality and the feature of this phone is reaally goood..5 times accidentally i drop my phone on the floor, and the fone is still working goood without no error or craking in its body... the only bad thing about this phone is its battery life (but if i turn off internet connection it can last for four days) and not upgradable to froyo, altough its hardware can support froyo...

  • Yes.

  • Get this phone. Quite reliable. At least no antenna issues lol. Its truly good value at 99 pounds unlocked here in the UK.

  • This phone just got even more special with 2.1 update. More apps faster and improved battery life. Most valuable android phone yet. To upgrade make sure usb storage mode is not restricted to mass storage only as this is the default setting. Do this in sd card storage settings. Good stuff.

  • Oh man,lots of mid range android phones out in market. I kept on researching from past 2months but not yet decided which phone 2 buy, optimus one or optimus gt540, samsung galaxy 5 or 3, or htc wildfire or x10 mini. I become insane thinking about it. When i stick to lg phones , the reliability issue pops out of my mind, wen i decide 2 go 4 htc its slightly over my budget. So jus stuck up here. Any suggestions?
