LG K7 - User Reviews

  • From top of screen, slide finger down. When box comes with brightness, sound. & icons above that, slide to left to find flashlight! (At least, that's where mine is on same phone.)

  • Where i can find the flash light

  • I have an LG K7 that is locked and can't use GSM sim sim cards, how do I solve that?

  • It has a removable battery so maybe just buy a new battery?

  • Waaaaaaaaoo a smart phone for legends. fast speed while streeming, first internet, big screen, i really love it.

  • My battery went dead and it wont turn on again :( even after charging. I brought it to the repair shop but still not working

  • K7 2017 has 2GB bro. Have you touched it??

  • A best phone, I've ever used. This phone with 1gb plays so heavy games that my 3GB phone couldn't even start. The War & Order and Coverfire (both are more that 1.10 GB games) are my favorite but this phone never left me diappointed. I recommend this phone for any one who can't afford a Flagship.....

  • it's only 1gb ram

  • May I know how's the LG K7 2017 from Sun? I'm planning to change my phone and they are offering the same. Is it 2GB or 1GB RAM?

  • This may be the wrong page for you to look into since i also got the SUN subscription reward and chose to get the LG K7 but the one they usually give away this year (2018) are the LG K7 2017 edition which is a different unit with different specs

  • just got my LTE Sun Sim and a new LG K7 as loyalty award...no ratings yet...

  • Wish it had at least 2 RAM

  • It reserves space for updates, RAM and usually drops in performance of your CPU.

  • my phone is LG K7 LTE.it really gives me a best 4G network.it has a trending eye catching glossy pebble design, and also it gives a fast performens with its snapdragon 210 prossasor and a better comparable cameras.+ best UI and. Good features.I love my K7...thanks to LG

  • only 3g? how awful!

  • The brightness slider just disappeared one day and the brightness on 100% still can't be see the screen even on a cloudy day. If you go out a lot then don't buy this phone

  • Same here. It's obsolete, used to work fine

  • maybe your location

  • i have lg k7 but the Network reads 2G only. I have changed in the Network mode to gsm/wcdma/lte but still i get 2G network..any clues? Thanks you..

  • My K7 is a piece of CRAP! It reboots itself in my holster, my 2 year old grandson knows better English, and it constantly locks up! Done with LG, done with TMobile. I wouldn't use this thing as a boat anchor!

  • It's really in news paper frant adding words 1 phone mosquitoes Riperar

  • My6manth mobile not network problem

  • used for updates

  • Its good phone

  • I got my lg k7 June 1st 2016 it worked great had it maybe 3weeks before my husband rooted both mine and his after reading about rooting on google. He rooted them both sucessfully then a week later he bricked his phone. Mine was perfect til the day before me owning it for a year it just wouldnt turn back on how it keeps booting thru the LG boot loader then says error code 1003 modified anyway to fix this I still have it and want my rooted LG K7 BACK

  • I have K7 white color. Very good phone.

  • Is my LG k7 4g lte comparable?

  • pls i need 3g network on my phone.Its only work on 2g.What du i du?

  • this phone is just f@#k up got 1 that was working fine then it just shuts of and not turning on, got it check out and they say the board is dead. who would build a phone that doesn't work for long kmft I hate it so badly

  • I have been using this same phone for a little over a year and it's got everything to keep me happy. I'm not a gamer and I don't use a phone to watch videos. I take lord of pictures and this phone does an excellent job. Don't be discouraged by the negative reviews. . those people evidently seem to have more needs than a good phone. I only use my phone for actually calling people, pictures and texting. I love my phone.

  • I have an lk7 every time I ask a question it says something different it's not a smartphone it's a f****** stupid phone it's going to be one of the worst phones I've ever used in my entire life I don't know why they call it a smartphone

  • its likely due to the fact that half the storage is used by the system. Similar to a computers storage. The operating system takes half of the available space.

  • this phone displays 8gb internal storage but its actually shows 4gb when i connect it to the PC and i want to know the reason...Can someone help me here...??

  • Abeg my k7 refused to bring out 3G network of, wat should i do

  • I got my k7 just recently in Ghana, I can't get access to data connection on my cell phone even though it shows data connect by does not display on the top right Conner of the screen. what should I do? my email is mathiastettegah@gmail. com

  • I advised my friend to buy this phone, she wanted a cheap but robust phone. I helped her set it up and my first impressions are that this Phone is quite good. The display isn't great but the price is low. The soft edges are very nice and makes it a comfortable phone to hold.

  • My K7 does that with the volume, too sometimes when I have headphones plugged in. Moving the right-angle plug causes the volume to toggle up and down when watching YouTube vids. I try not to bump the headphone plug. Don't know why it does this, but I suspect it has something to do with the automatic volume lowering function when you plug in phones. Moving or turning the plug makes the phone think they're being plugged and unplugged rapidly. I'm guessing a straight headphone plug (less likely to turn than a right-angle one) might make the situation better. I'll try to find a solution to make the volume warning go away and post it here

  • Love my K7. Got two if them for free at the MetroPCS store with 2 lines for $50.00 per month. First battery it had discharged too quickly- store swapped battery from another K7. Good capacity and no problem since. Added a 32gb SD card and carrying around tons of movies and music vids. Rooted my K7 using Kingroot and got rid of all the unnecessary bloatware. Now I have room for my ported PC games and radio apps. Love the speed and pretty good graphics. No lag when playing ported DOS games. Sure I have to be mindful of internal storage space, but I use SD Maid to keep stuff in order. Good phone for the price. Put it in a tough case and it takes a knockin' and keeps on rockin'.

  • Use the phone's file manager (Astro) or any other file manager such as ES. All are available for free on the Google Play store.

  • I also own one and I have not found any problem with it that can not be solved. It's now running a year.most of the problems guys are taking about can be fixed at home.it's not are bad phone.

  • You can only transfer certain things. I have a 32gb SD card and it's almost completely empty while my tiny 8gb onboard constantly runs out of space and I have to delete apps. This phone sucks.

  • Does it supports vr? (eg youtube 360 videos)

  • i have this same phone, LG K7 model LG-AS330, running 5.1.1 Lollipop, does any body know where and how i can get a stock ROM for this device, an earlier version like android version kitkat 4.4. will happy if anyone can help

  • Feeling sad and confused with the rewies, i m using this phone.

  • pros good battery decent camera cons processor resolution old software

  • I've had this phone for almost a year with no problems. Not sure why everyone keeps complaining about the battery. I simply turn off wifi/data/Bluetooth when I'm not using them, and one battery charge lasted a 5-day camping trip, while taking pictures along the way. It does drain pretty fast when using data, etc., but it also charges very fast (like from 5% to 100% in about an hour with airplane mode on). It's storage is a little low, with not much room for apps, but an SD card expansion isn't that expensive. Overall, it's been a nice phone with few problems; and no problems that haven't been fixed by restarting.

  • Obviously you don't really know how to look at specs and buy whatever. The salesperson will always tell you the specs and it's either your not listening or you just don't know how to be a smart buyer.

  • This phone sucks battery blows no storeage does whatever it feels like worst phone ever had throwing in the trash

  • How to transfer internal files to sd card ?

  • I feel battery drains very fast

  • 🔋 not good .not enough for a half day usage ,

  • Lg k7 mobile is very bad quality this battery is 2125 mah verry dirty mobile this mobile have hanging problem also this mobile battery ends very Quickly in 2 minute this battery percentage end 10 to 5 percentage. In one day i charge my mobile 4 and 5 times very bad battery mah

  • My mom has a LG K 7 and she accidently deleted her third page on her home screen how does she get it back?

  • how can I change the font style on lg k7

  • installed apps uses lots of internal memory

  • i like pretty much

  • See with your MNO

  • I think the problem is the microphone

  • My LGK7 phone has problem in recieving in comming calls , sound is very low and not able to hear the voice. In setting, I am. adjusted full volume but problem is continuing. How can solve this problem.

  • Phone sucks man deserves a bad review the typing technology sucks and the reception sucks. You have to update it multiple times for things that should already be on there. If you got sense you would buy another phone you can get cheaper that's better then this. I think they even rummage on your phone. So, be careful with these.

  • If you're trying to block or reject calls. Go to settings. Go down to calls and press it. Then go from there. Hope I was able to help you.

  • Still finding it difficult to do it Ma network is stuck on 2G

  • If you go to youtube they have all those tricks & tips tutorials. One is how to enter into service mode and gives you the code to do it. I just watched it and believe I saw one that let's you set the LCD

  • My lgk7 mobile supports volte but before two weeks i didnt find that symbol on my phone .even after software update. Its not showing.. I dont knw what is the problem can anyone help me

  • No do not get it

  • I want to buy lg210 isitt good phone guys ?

  • bro use true caller........

  • i have a lg X210 and failing to block numbers. Can't find the reject function or the block function.

  • Yes. As well as aforementioned spell check problem. Also my screen flutters incessantly as if the screen brightness/contrast is too high even tho i have it at lowest setting.

  • I bought a 32 gb at tmobile. I got 8 gigabytes. So I returned it. The same thing happened with the 16 gb version. Seriously?

  • Hey I don't get it i have tried to switch from 2G to atleast 3G but it wount switch and the browsing speed is dam slow can you guys help me out

  • Lmao so essentially you're saying we all should be phone engineers just to operate a cheap phone? Yeah okay. I shouldn't have to be super technology person just to work a damn phone i bought for $70 at Walmart. And furthermore,the phone comes with the freaking hardware installed sooooo its part of the phone. But you go ahead and cash that check LG sends you for writing these bogus comments...

  • Yes it goes to the google app screen and then my volume constantly toggles up and down. Its freaking annoying. It stopped doing it for a while and now its doing it again. This is literally the worst phone I've ever encountered. I had to return the first one I bought because the headphone jack stopped working properly, and worse it ruined a expensive pair of headphones. Unfortunately I decided to replace it with the same model like an idiot. Now its misbehaving again and its past the dates for me to return it and I don't have the money to buy another phone right now so I'm screwed....

  • Lolz. It does not get any better. I've had mine for a few months and the spell check has me wanting to throw my phone. It doesn't ever wanna autocorrect to contractions even though that is the most obvious thing in the world. And unlike iOS, if you accidentally type 2 words together it will never just autocorrect to the two words. The LG k7 has like a 1st grade education.

  • Just download shortcut maker from the Playstore. Then find the settings app. Find the shortcut to network settings. Then change. 😋

  • Just download shortcut maker. Then find the change network under settings. Little difficult at first; but really easy once done

  • I bought a 32 gb at tmobile. I got 8 gigabytes. So I returned it. The same thing happened with the 16 gb version. Seriously?

  • After I downloaded the latest version of android Jellybean my phone keeps disconnecting me from WiFi. I have to turn off data because I ended up using it all not realizing WiFi dropped. Has anyone else have this problem?

  • I got this phone it is located on the bottom left side. hope it helps you cheers

  • This phone just for today it's on offer for 90 euro,is it worth the money? For 110 euro I can get Galaxy J1 Mini for 110 euro!!

  • how is the battery

  • where is the handset or earplugin located

  • hw can I change the network from 2g to 3g or 4g, it does not change.............

  • Compared to my last phone(ZTE Z828) my K7 is awesome accept one thing the battery is the crap.it takes hours to charge and it dies in 3 TO 4 HOURS I Will have to buy after market battery any suggestions?

  • I hear all the lame comments about the LG K7, have any of you thought about just taking it back? 2 members of my family have this phone, with no problems...for 6 months !

  • Take it to your dealer, that is what they are there for !

  • I have 2 people in my family that have the LG K7, both of them love their phone, and have had no problems with theirs! I am considering buying one myself...just need the money...also looking at the LG Stylo 2 plus

  • OMG!! Your experience is literally the exact same as mine. G4 died the same way and in a pinch I bought the K7. It does random signal drops even on WIFI. The chrome barely functions with the keyboard and most of FB posts are hard to do cause the keyboard won't stay or it just disappear. Can't load more than 4 apps, even with SD Card.

  • Pls how can i change the network to 3 or 4G, i tryed changing. It bt it still remains at 2G pls i need ur help

  • OS prevents data usage. WiFi only! SD card is a must have for more than 2 apps. Basically an expensive brick!

  • no 4g slot ,this is so bad

  • Trust me the zte phone is the worst phone ever never by it it can get you killed in case of an emergency ..it doe not work after a month. All the programs are a wreck. Save your money don't by any zte products..nuunununu

  • The camera is not good. Does the spellcheck get better because its pretty stupidafter a week

  • I am having charger issues with this phone. Thr charger doesnt want to stay in the port so makes hard to charge

  • Thank You mmartin0464; for an excellent review of the LG K7. I can tell by the things that you covered and the details of your experiences with the phone; that it is a review by a "Real User"; and not one to either "Hype Up" or "Bad Mouth" a particular brand. Being disabled on a low fixed income myself; I was considering this as one of the phones that Metro PCS is offering in their current Promo; your review has helped me to keep seeking another phone & carrier to consider. Good Luck to you.

  • Thank You Xcaliber501 for an excellent review of the LG K7. I can tell by the things that you covered and the details of your experiences with the phone; that it is a review by a "Real User"; and not one to either "Hype Up" or "Bad Mouth" a particular brand. As having a fairly good camera is the 2nd thing I use the most on a phone; your review has helped me to keep seeking another phone to consider.

  • Yea that happened to me too but it stopped doing it

  • Its the worst my calls are always dropping atleast 3 to 4 times a day. Im always having to reboot by cutting off then back on again. Some times it seems like it has a mind of it's own it play's music goes to google asking for a ccommand without me touching anything. This phone really SUCKS. I been searching for a replacement and I've only had it 4 months. As my Latin friends would say "Basuda"

  • I am on my 3 ofourth lgk7. I plan to buy one more soon. I replace the phone when it is Full of locked in crap ... There is a good chance i will clear Out the crap and reuse the phone. I am enjoying learning how to Clear the phone up.

  • cool

  • I have the same Problem i tried A lot of tings and nothing work The phone sucks i can't believe Lg would make a product this horrible

  • I have had tthe exact same problem what did u do about it?

  • how to make video calls?

  • these phones are pieces of shite I recommend highly against ever getting one the O/S is garbage and the LG has made its worst phone in years # 1 phone goes black when turned horizontal #2 cannot take any pictures in a horizontal position WTF ?? has extremely little settings and adjustments-spend a little more and get something better

  • Get poweramp its a app improves the music player allot

  • So I recently bought the K7 last month after the G4 gave me the defect of the whole boot loop where i can start up the phone but only be shown the start up screen with the mobile carrier logo and LG symbol but then black screen. I have to say this phone does suck and LG should start fixing their little defect problems because i cant seem to stay connected to my mobile carrier service and i get switched from 4g lte , to 4g, then 2g, and then searching for signal and sometimes no signal. My mobile carrier says my coverage is good . Has anyone experience this type of problem? if so what is your solution for this? thank you in advance.

  • I absolutely love this phone I've tried to update with the 3 new phones who did stand up to the quality and all the great things I've been able to do with this phone . I have been able to totally customized my ring tunes,save my music(most important) save my pictures just everything but after 1 1/2 it 's not holding a charge so now I have to either get a new battery or phone and unless the next phone can do all this does I'll stay with my LGK7

  • This phone truly, utterly sucks!!!! My biggest gripe is the lack of audio. The volume with headphones is so low it is practically useless using headphones. Up until this phone I had pleasant experiences with LG, now I just want my Samsung back. Just an overall crap audio experience. Waste of money.

  • I am finding it very difficult to download apps as it keeps coming up within xonnection timed out. I have both data and wireless. Can anyone help as this is driving me nuts. Thank you

  • The k7 is good. Its better than the iphones and KICks g4 and 5's ass.CAmera is good. etc.............

  • I love my LG k7 but when I put my earbuds in the screen goes to the google screen does it happen to anyone else?

  • I ave used the K7 for a little over a year now, I did not purchase it, but when this one craps out like all phones do, I would 100% buy another one. Great sound, great price (love that $300 range), great camera, better than most iPhones which are acclaimed for their cameras even though the LG G-series kicks their tails, and best of all, it just works. It has great battery life, and you can always buy an upgraded battery from LG that fits the phone if you want. Brilliant. 10/10

  • it was never ment to be for gaming

  • left side of the phone

  • it didn't show equalizer optn, when connecting headphone in LG K7..

  • Its not good for gaming

  • whrere is the memory card slot i did'nt find it plz tell me

  • I just bought today and thw screen doesn't light up. Only sound that I hear. Any suggestions guys?

  • This phone actually surprised me its cheap $89.99 works perfectly fine especially if you know how to understand this particular type of technology this cheap little phone works better than my iPhone 6+ the OS on LG k7 is very smooth especially if you are operating on a stable network WiFi ok battery ok photos ok I see everyone complaining about this phone like has everyone lost common sense lol if you don't clear your catch files delete your browser history cookies files etc it causes a loud on the ram flowers the proccesor speed think of it like pulling a moterhome with a mini cooper its too big of a load you have to be consistent with closing applications clearing browsing history etc clearing catch files and keeping up on updates I don't even care for androids and this cheap phone has changed that the lollipop OS isn't too bad I've noticed many of problems with the iPhone 6+ and that's loaded with a ton of Samsung parts and the iohone 7 even the screen is made by Samsung so don't always believe what some people say because they get paid to talk sht disinformation even YouTube is flawless on this cheepo phone its cool .

  • My sentiments exactly. This phone is really only good for someone trying to replace a flip phone with a touch phone. It does "phone" well. Everything else is best left up to another device.

  • Video calls freeze after just a couple seconds

  • I bought this phone as a temporary hold over til the Note 7 came out. (Yeah I know what a disaster that was...) As a temp phone it worked fine, but it has major issues. 1. Very small internal storage and most of what it does have is taken up by the operating system. I had no pictures, no music and no games on this phone and I still was constantly running out of storage. To the point I could not even update my banking apps. I thought I could get around this by using a Micro SD card, but most apps would not load onto the external storage card. Not sure if this is a security thing with the apps or the fault of the phone. Either way it made the phone basically useless. 2. The camera is one of the worst I've ever used. It was very slow hard to manipulate and the pictures were so blurry to be pointless. It might as well not have a camera at all. Everything else about the phone was generally good. The screen was large and reasonably bright. I was able to surf the internet pretty well with it. But given how bad the camera is and how little storage space there is I would not recommend this phone for anyone unless it is only for temporary use and only if you get it very cheap. I would not even spent $50 for this phone.

  • so you get good video on your phone are you using metro pcs im just tryuing to see if its the phone or the service.Mine worked ok for a week and now it freezes up 2 to 3 sec. into the video

  • This phone is among the worst I have ever had. It started out working fine; however, as each day passes, my experience with this phone has only worsened. I now compare it to the Samsung Note 7, and we all know what's happening with that model. The most angering thing that has happened is that it was necessary for me to turn on the Lock Screen Feature so I could temporarily download an app for a research project I was involved with. Now, the phone absolutely refuses to permit me to turn off the Lock Screen Feature. I do not currently have any need whatsoever to lock my phone at any time. Having to enter a pass code every time I use the phone for something. To be clear, I am NOT willing to perform a "hard reset" on my phone, for I would lose everything currently stored on the phone. Another major problem I am having is with the storage settings. I am using a SD Card, and have transferred all the apps I possibly could to the SD Card. However, for no apparent reason, apps will move from the SD Card back to the phone WITHOUT my having taken any action whatsoever. Furthermore, there are many apps that cannot be transferred to the SD Card. No one has yet been able to provide me with a sufficient reason as to why this fact exists. To me, this is unacceptable. This has created another problem, in that the phone memory daily sinks below 300kb. This is mostly due to Cached Data needing to be cleared. Worse still, on my phone, there is 3.18GB of Miscellaneous Data, that, so far, no one knows what to do with. Updating apps has become extremely problematic and honestly, as each day passes without gaining some ground on these issues, I literally hate this phone more and more every day. Before I bought this phone, I had the LG Leon, an equally bad phone. LG has long had a reputation for making quality merchandise that can be relied on for many years to come. However, with the K-7 and the Leon, LG completely missed the boat, making two of the worst phone models I have ever encountered. I am disabled and on an extremely fixed income. I cannot afford to buy a new phone, so I am stuck with what I consider to be a very bad phone. Metro PCS is juaat as ba, if not worse than the phone. When I am able to purchase another phone, I can promise two things, 1 I will NOT even consider LG phones, and 2 I will definitely be changing service providers.

  • This phone is not a phone this is a disaster of my life .I will take revenge if I meet the manufacturer of this phone not enough memory very slow and camera is not very good. So this phone wasted my valuable money don't buy this

  • I agree. This phone is horrible. I have bad for 3 months and the battery is horrible. Takes forever to charge. Its like its possessed. It does its own thing. I woke up one day and could not make calls. Kept saying that it was on airplane mode and it was not. Sucks

  • Great phone. Might upgrade to 802.11n router. Why I'll never know. Not a gamer.

  • LG has always been good to me. Much better phone than Samsung's in the the same price range. This phone never locks up or gives me any problems. Nice speed for average everyday user. This is my second LG and would still have my first if I didn't drop it down 4 flights of stairs. My last two Samsung phones gave me nothing but problems. Slow to respond and always locking up causing me to restart the phone. Go with LG phone, much better quality.

  • Volume keeps going down by itself...media then ringtone and even notifications..sometimes it will sit there for several minutes trying to lower even though its silenced itself already..only about a week old. LG BLOWS at making phones. Should've known

  • You can find an app that does it for you.

  • Is there a way I can set my led light for calls and messaging?

  • I've had this phone for 1 month and I can press the bottom in the back 20 times and the phone screen won't come on so i can use it. I get phone calls and the screen wont light up so i can answer it. I'm in a domestic violence situation and i have my own apt now and my ex is trying to break in. I'm afraid to stay there because I could be in a serious emergency situation and I can't even call for help because the screen wont come on. If that wasn't an issue the phone seems great.

  • All comments are going to confuse you only I want to clear ur confusion This phone is simply very good Good battery backup Good processing Good internet speed All apps support unless they are of large megabytes(>350mb) My advice - buy this phone if u want a phone in cheap price this is very Nice.

  • Love the phone for the price! never freezed up on me, always reliable, easy to use.

  • The LGk7 is a horrible phone dies fast charges slow freezes gets over heated All the time for no reason. Screen flickers on and off turns off by its self and back on speaker goes out have real hard time hearing people or them hearing me. This phone is not recommended to buy.

  • awesome look and nice features. all features are good

  • My LG k7 phone is always messing up every day. It will take a spell not coming on or off and then I have to take the battery out. I would like to know what the problem is. Has anyone else had this problem.

  • My k7 don't want to work on 3G only on 2G why?

  • This phone sucks. Low storage overheats has major wifi issues doesnt recieve all calls but will get voicemails later plus other things. I dont recommend this phone.

  • Its very nice phone to use for official purpose....

  • its a good phone with 4g, camera result superb,speed good good phone @ 9k

  • I have the same issue with not being able to hear or be heard by someone.

  • My boyfriends new K7 does the same, fades in & out when we talk. He claims it's my phone or connection as his face is next to the phone the entire time we are speaking. I never had a problem hearing him until he got this effing phone. K7 sucks !!

  • Lol

  • Are you can disable all the junk apps and download the ones that are actually better such as Yahoo search yahoo messenger mapquest 360 security any file folder rated 4.5 are higher disable anything google they dont let you move them to the sd card. Hope this helps

  • Disable google play music google+ google news google maps drive etc.download yahoo search mapquest yahoo news etc because you can move these to your sd card which makes them a whole lot better. You can keep your phone apps and be limited are you can disable simple as that.

  • Actually that is and was the problem a lot of roots are not compatible like they claim. Examples 5.1 lolipop kitkat are a couple

  • First of all disable the apps you don't need. Believe me there are a lot i disabled and it freed a quit bit of memory.

  • Get app manager 3 its the only way to mobe thing to sd card

  • Tried to replace the screen but it has gone white... Help?

  • i have the same problems , dian. no memory,32 gig sd card almost empty and i cant transfer my apps either. did anyone respond with some good advice? please let me know. it doesnt look like anyone has responded at all!!

  • I have a LGK7 like you all know the memory is poor. I put in a 32GB SD card but I can only put a handful of apps on it even though there is space, I don't know why. So can please tell me how to make the SD card my primary storage. on

  • Those were the two longest sentences that make no sense I've ever read. I feel about 99% dumber just trying to decipher what you attempted to make a readable review. Smh.

  • Very true good sir! I believe if websites would add the word "Hardware" to review it would go a long way, given, of course, that the reviewers aren't completely illiterate. I'm sure there will still be these same review issued but I think you would see a decline in such comments. Maybe after a while it will catch on and decline even further. Just thought I'd add that.

  • The LG K7 is a fair phone. It does have many glitches though. I did root my LG K7 so that may also be the problem.

  • I like the phone a lot, but it won't recognize the sd card I bought (and this is the second card).

  • I can't find led notification under hearing options...

  • Dear sir , i am shaiful azad my phone model LGSM330. it doesn't. work 3g/wcdm network. but my mobile oparetor network is 3g.

  • call recorder not working

  • Ok phone but has like no space

  • My daughter in law just got a k7 and loves it i have a tmobile lg stylo and love it

  • There actually IS a notification light. In your 'settings', under 'accessibility', click on the 'hearing' option. You'll see it there. =) hope it helps

  • exactly. We mustn't conflate software issues with phone issues. Most complaints I've read so far are not phone issues. LG doesn't control Google. And your keyboard and voice recognition software are changeable and adjustable. It's sad to see review averages to down due to end users owning a device that's essentially over their heads.

  • I do believe you are having problems with the button configuration on the back of the phone. Also comma when things tend to just "pop up", it's usually the end user. This is why cell manufacturers don't allow purchasers to be administrative users the way that computer manufacturers do. These devices are well beyond the comprehension of the average flip phone or iPhone user. an Android is a device whose "parents" don't protect their purchasers from their own technology the way that Apple does.

  • Done believe the hype about iPhones. This device, properly handled, beats your average, boring, proprietary iPhone in almost t every way!

  • This device works as well as any android I've used. But then, I know what I'm doing. Rule of thumb: the staff of a cell phone shop is generally clueless about cell phones. Car salesman are not mechanics. If you want to know about known issues with a phone, look up android forums dot com and find your phone. This device unfortunately is like many cell phones that members of the general public purchase, while never knowing anything about how they work; they are little computers that people mostly break themselves.

  • Had it for about a month now and its a fairly good phone for the price, I recommend buying the unlocked version as the tmobile version has no internal fm receiver. The display quality isnt very detailed with its resolution but its very bright and colours are well saturated which compensates. Expect smaller picture to distance ratio with its mere 5mp rear camera, picture quality isnt that sharp, it tends more to the soft side and colors are again saturated. Internal space isnt enough, mine ran out in about a week. I rate 6.5 out of 10

  • This is the best phone ever in fact all that BS about it not working tip buy the real deal from like your carrier I have T-Mobile and its great and it even has auto check that works 99% accurate. It even gas the screen where you can see in the sun and everybody else looks like wow it has lots of space I can stream and take pictures I could say the quality is as good as I phone battery life is long charges fast with the charger that domes with it also the wall charger smooth gameplay no freezing enhanced screen my old LG drains fast in at least a half of our dead this thing can last hours and charges fast there is so much to see.

  • Ive had this phone for about 5 days. Battery life so far is pretty great. I use it heavily streaming videos, text, and use browser. Let's see how well the battery life does in one month.

  • Is it that bad hows thee featuresb

  • Do you have any recommended NEWBIE-friendly, step-by-step how-to pages/info for *QUICKLY* learning (like in less than a week) how to fix all the bugs with this phone and make it usable and awesome like you seem to have?? I need a decent phone asap for under $300 and I can't afford to spend more than like 5 days of learning curve time to "hack" all the bugs and BS out :(

  • I absolutely HATE this phone! This is the second one because the first one went out the same day I bought it. They didn't want to give me another one but they finally did and this one freezes up constantly and calls drop EVERYTIME I talk on it. It's a waste of time and money.

  • I've owned my LG K7 for the last 3 months and i love it. True it's smaller and not as fast as Good as a LG G4. or an Galaxy or IPhone but it does everything I need only a fraction of time slower. Pound for Pound it's the best phone I ever owned TMOBILE!

  • My handset also has this issue as well as my wife's.

  • This phone sucks the volume keeps decreasing by its self google search pops up when i dont want it to and it turns off out of nowhere

  • I have had the worst experience with this phone. I just bought it a week ago and all it does is freeze constantly, especially when i'm on snap chat. It blurs my pictures all the time or freezes and just goes blue after i take a picture.Snap chat use on this phone is terrible so whoever uses that app a lot i'd stay away from this phone.

  • not really......i bought this 2months ago......the first 2-3 weeks a full charge would last all day.....now i have to charge it 2-3 times a day. i am a HEAVY internet user though.

  • Is the battery life good

  • The files are likely in .wmv format which most phones don't recognize. Try downloading vlc player from the store.

  • I can't get music to play from my library I load a disc in my computer upload the album and all the info is in my K7 but as soon as I hit play it says CAN'T PLAY SONG in about to smash this 135$ turd to pieces unless some 1 can help me ASAP

  • I have had mine for 5 days and now when I text it just sends and sends messages up to forty before I had to stop the message manual I'm taking it back in the morning worst phone I've ever had

  • LG good mobile all function and future is good but no facility redlining call

  • I have not yet have a problem with this phone. Everything is great for the price. I got this phone from Metro Pcs.

  • If your looking for a pinhole that's affordable and has a nice camera and screen and lg feel and design style this is the phone for u the speaker is good but has no bass a little distorted but over all good

  • Lucky I get nothing on mine no 2g 3g 4g let went over with T-Mobile they were no help

  • Agree totally had LG in past no problem from T-Mobile suck city I have had vibration in speaker bad customer service only been 2 months tried to swap out phone but they gave me such a run around I said I will give u no more money

  • Complete frustration! This phone constantly freezes sometimes I can't even unlock it I have to take the battery out completely for it to start working again. Screen rotation randomly works. And talk to text is horrible it makes up words that sound nothing like what I'm saying. Predictive text completely sucks. And very low storage which I find extremely annoying. I will never buy an LG again they make crappy phones. I'm completely disappointed I've only had my phone for 3 months. I got mine through T-Mobile which was suggested to me by one of the customer service reps. I will definitely be going back to my Samsung. Also what the hell is up with the Google app slow and annoying. I'll try not to smash my phone before the next 3 months is up. Complete waste of money.

  • I bought my LG K in March 2016. The first day I had to bring it back .I went through 2 phones in the first 30 days. Now its July and another issue with phone. The button on the back is broken.My screen stays black. I was on the phone and screen went black and also was getting a call and screen still black . I went back and got another one. I had to pay $15.99 this time. The first 2 phones I had to get were in the first 30 days so I didn't have to pay anything. I do like the phone but this is the last time. If something happens again I will be getting a different phone. The service is good. My boyfriend and my friend both have the LG K7 and have not had any issues. Also the employees a Metro PCS are great!

  • The lg g2 is better. It has more features and the pictures are better. I hate this phone as well and wish i never gotten it.

  • this phone is absolutely horrible. Ive only had it for about four to five months and it no longer can read my sd card or sim card! It is ridiculously overpriced for something that barely works.

  • To stop it from keep on going to Google speak or whatever u hv to disable the Google app not the chrome.

  • I have had this phone for 3 months and it happens to be the worst. When I turn the phone horizontal for full screen it stays small. The rotation is on. Sometimes it rings and sometimes it doesn't.

  • I ended up disabling Google search because it kept popping up constantly.

  • This is one of the worst phones ever when you go to turn it on it doesn't want to turn on it barely charges it takes a long time to charge when it does charge overall on a scale from 1 to 10 this Falls to zero worst phone ever had Metro needs to get rid of this phone I do not recommend this phone to anyone

  • You are sad, measuring your happiness with ppi.. lol

  • Me too and iy realy annoying

  • Me too

  • My lg k7 is acting up a went to sleep and when i woke up i and no sound comes out i missed so many calls i already checked setting to see if something was wrong there but no im so mad i want a refund.

  • Second day I bought this phone first time it went dead the screen flipped out and died and wouldn't charge anymore had to get a new battery, about a week later I woke up to my volume button steadly decreasing on it's own. Its very irritating and I do not recommend this phone, I've kept my old LG phones for years and they still work with no cracks but this one is not up to par by far and LG is slipping on there ability to bring a decent phone.

  • No problems after I got this phone but 3 months after...this phone is garbage. I think I should stop using LG entirely and get an iphone. Does anyone else have that problem where youtube videos buffer...on wifi?

  • The phone over all is a good phone if u looking for a phone with enough features for 149 bucks the processor is decent but if u looking for a phone that is able to play games like black ops this isn't it. The bad about this device is that the screen craks easy

  • Im having the same problem with google. My screen freezes up and the screen starts scrollong by itself. I have rig my charger because it wont charge properly and i just got this phone may 2016....i do not recommend this phone to anyone.

  • This phone is pretty shit be honest. too many problems. Also my phone randomly keeps going to Google speaker by itself. Does anyone else have this problem? If so how do I fix it? And the funny thing is I haven't even had this phone for even 3 months and it's acting up. Take my advice don't buy this phone especially if it's from metro.

  • Not worth buying The set is very poor in performance within 15 days of purchase it has it has stopped qoeking

  • takes forever to charge

  • I have a LG K7 as well but mine has T-Mobile service and it takes an hour to charge!

  • I like the K7, especially with the hotspot app and video email already on it. Sound quality isn't the best. The camera is okay for what I need. But my wife and both got K7's through Metro PCS and we're both having trouble charging the phones. We'll hook them up at night, then hold our breath the next morning to see if they've charged or not. Very frustrating when they don't charge.

  • Great phone compared to the ZTE Obsidian I had...talk about a piece of shit! The volume issue is a minor one! Most of us text anyway compared to how many calls we make!

  • ive really only had a few phones and I actually love my k7 so far but I've only had it a couple weeks. Only things I think could be better is the sound could be a little louder, pics quality could be clearer. and the letters on the keyboard could be a Tad bigger or something, I'm constantly pushing letters that I don't want to hit....overall it's the best phone I've had

  • cell phone wont ask for code to unlock it.

  • k7 lte has what type of dusplay resistance ......... uf any one know post msg

  • Is your mobile data on for me it didnt work till I turned It on even when I had wifi after I did I was able to send and receive content that it would allow me to veiw well help this works good luck also this phone does suck mine shut off and won't turn on no matter what I do factory reset nothing so good luck hope u don't have the same issue

  • Fine phone, my only issue is that it doesn't download fast. Can this be fixed?

  • 2 weeks after buying my LGK7 the mic went out so I could only use speaker phe. It does take great pictures though i didn't need a camera.

  • Honestly its a very good phone. Charges quickly and it doesnt lag like other phones in the same price range.

  • People keep complaining that i fade in and out no matter where i am. I only had it for 3 werks when it started doing that. Anyone else having that problem or know how to fix it?

  • Does anybody know why I cannot download attachments sent in messaging? I receive them but cannot open. Help.

  • we have been with tmobile for over 13 yrs, my g flex not working tmobile failed to tell me that once it goes out they will not replace it,so tmobile sends me a cheap lg k7 phone that freezing up every time i try to daily out this really sucks tmobile, i went from a 600 dollar phone to a 80.phone, t-mobile please don't pee on me and tell. me it's raining, i'm looking for another carrier, like right now t-mobile

  • Your reply to a question about the camera is a ridiculous complaint? Your issue isn't even real. I would say that you're being idiotic, but you're obviously actually thinking about what you're typing. Please stop smearing your mental feces onto the internet, especially as a completely unrelated, insubstantial series of desperate words that are arguably false. My k7 charges very quickly. There doesn't appear to be an option to turn the camera sound off. Honestly, the settings options on almost every modern device I have operated are horribly designed and lacking. Maybe someone with a college degree could address that among so so many other mistakes.

  • Did you charge it with a 3.3v charger or a 5v charger?

  • Only one thing i hate about this phone.... It TAKES FOREVER TO CHARGE OMG! !!!!! Its annoying

  • I bought new LG K7 mobile phone recently and i feel no worth of money on this phone. Camera_such a worst VGA Internet _ not up to the level Over all not satisfactory on this. No worth on money.

  • So i need help, everytime my phone turns off. And i turn it on my 4g is on and stuff but nothing works outta wifi still. I tryed airplane mode. And turnin off my data and nothin works any help?

  • I hate this phone. The only reason I have it is because it was free at Metro PCS. The camera and its software is worthless and the sound quality of the speaker is even worse. If the phone isn't centered on your ear in the right spot, you can't hear a thing.

  • I love this phone. I use it only as a phone (& camera...which is fine for me; I majored in photography for years so not having to be in a darkroom is a breeze; also hint hint: want a good photo...take many many and one will be a winner; most photographers know that)

  • Hey I want in on the law suit on metro pcs they sold me a lg leon 2.5mos later it turned off and hasnt been back on since. When I took it buck I was told add Rory nothing I can do about it and then asked me for a payment

  • Was thinking about getting one but some of u love it and some hate it I expected that but where did u find one for fifty dollars this one is 150.00 plus 20.00 more for the SIM card to go in it plus it month payment

  • Does anyone know how to fix the sound on lg k7 no sound at all

  • always put very close attention not to put your phone by any kind of magnetic field that can wipe your micro sd card my advice is to go to google and you will find a way to recover those files on the memory card

  • I mean my phone numbers and all my pictures on my new phone

  • If you can remember your gmail and password you should get all your info and pictures. I got a New phone and used my gmail and ow and I got all my I do and pictures back

  • My phone froze and it wont let u turn it off

  • Just don't ever even bump your screen they shatter very easily

  • Hello Im trying to find out where did my pictures disappear to overnight leaving me one pic, also I just purchased phone two days ago, I'm so upset all my children pictures were on that phone and SD card, now it just says SD card is blank or unsupported, when I never deleted or removed anything.

  • My first and last LG phone ever, bought it in the morning and returned it in the afternoon, Did they ask me what I wanted in a smartphone, no they just made it for themselves, it's an electronic engineers phone and they can keep it for themselves too. Smartphones should be simple and user friendly as an I phone but most company firms wait for complaints as opposed to customer feedback before production, proof of this is a massive amount of production phones that just don't fulfill the customers expectations, never again an LG phone.

  • just received mine. coming to enjoy itttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.

  • Does anyone know how to turn off thr ringing when your on the phone on hold ?

  • For led light go to accessibilty/hearing and you'll see the option there to turn on. I searched the word lighting under settings and it popped up hope this helps :)

  • Go to setting then mobile data then right corner menu then mobile netwoks

  • I don't believe there is a notification light, you can only set the flash to strobe when a call or new message is received, but not a missed call/message reminder.

  • Please hold your fingure Network symbol for 3 Seconds you will see the Network Option

  • Does anybody know how to turn on the led notification light and how to set the reminder for text messages?

  • lg k7, great phone for $50. it feels like a steal! i've had the phone for 2 weeks and no problems. no lag. you can move apps to sd card. it will take an sd card of 64g or 128g. the camera is good. the video is good. the phone has alot of extras. the phone can hold its own against most phones. for $50 you cant lose! don't expect a honda to be a vette! thank you lg for a great phone!!!!!

  • There are a lot of BS reviews out here on this lgk7.I have a whole slew of different cell phones and. I'll put this one up against any one of them the only thing that might make this phone a little better is when they upgraded from lollipop to marshmallow. Learn how to root your phone and it'll be as good as any 500 or 600 dollar phone out there guaranteed.

  • Next time, read the reviews first. Then decide whether you'll be victimized or xxxxxx.

  • This phone is Garbage . every day for the last 3 months a service has failed visual voicemail , voicemail and my network keeps getting deleted from the device disabling my service so i am leaving metro pcs and sueing them for the cost of the phone and the lost 150.00 in service for breach of contract and sellling me 4 faulty lg k7's

  • my k7 switches to only 2g. I can't get 3g or 4g. Any help please?

  • Is it a Chinese clone? Definitely a fake.

  • I have the LG K7-and i can not get the voice command to work. Anyone have any idea's how to fix this

  • did you figure it out? I cant get mine to blink. I just got this phone yesterday.

  • did you find out to get it to blink? I cant figure it out.

  • Its not the worst phone in the world but it is very limited. I got it free from metro pcs so not complaining at all about price lol. I am just used to a better type of phone so I unlocked my Lg V10 and placed it in the drawer for a back up if need be.

  • I believe is a really nice phone for the price!!! got it for under a hundred dollars... and so far I like it... yes quality of pictures can be better but again... it's a bargain phone so.... I'll update my opinion once I have more time with it... so far so good...

  • you may need to root your phone... after that download a file explorer for rooted phone s(root browser is really good) then go to system folder wherever the sounds are located and rename the shutter sound file from .ogg to .bak that way you don't lose the file in case you need it back. I don't have the phone handy right now but will provide specific instructions once I have it... thanks

  • there's a way to eliminate the shutter sound, but it needs to be rooted... once rooted you can download root browser then go to system folder wherever the sounds are located in the phone and rename the camerashutter.ogg (or shutter.ogg) camerashutter.bak or shutter.bak (so that you don't lose it in case you want it back)... I'm sorry I don't have the phone with me now... will post further instructions when I have the phone handy...but it can be muted!! :)

  • Thats not true my samsung has no shutter sound

  • Long press the downloaded song youwant to install then you will get a table press select as ringtone.

  • You have installed a corrupt application somewhere. Don't panic.Do a factory reset and please download from authentic sites only.

  • Very bad phone i have ever used its been only 3 dys i bought ds phone nd its hanging like hell evn its not turning on, to turn on i hav 2 open d back paneel nd remove the bettry dn agn hv 2 instrt dn only it turns on.... Its very bad. Waste of my 9500 rs

  • Open phone settings then tap sounds and notifications then tap Ringtone.

  • The shutter sound is a security feature in every mobile. Live with it.

  • its an awsome phone and the special 2600mah battery i got is amazing plus it takes the best photos.

  • Can anyone please tell me how to turn off the camera shutter sound in LG k7... Its very annoying whatevr the sound mode is the shutter sound is alwys comes even there is no option for turning it off in camera mode

  • This phone was a big mistake to get. It freezes up constantly. Im always having to take my batterty out to hang up the phone. The texting sucks its always adding words when i half to erase things its addes other words and dont spell them correctly. Ive called the service provider conxerning this issue and they keep ordering me the same phone i even offered to pay the cost of a phone if they payed half. My husband hs ths same phone and he hates it more than do i do. But his job has alot to do with bia phone

  • Hold the down button and middle button on the back at the same time

  • Hold the volume up/down button & the power button on the back of the phone.

  • Does anyone know how to screen shot on the phone??

  • I got this phone free for signing up with MetroPCS. So far it's great. I am amazed at the speed of the phone considering it has a low and processor. I can't tell much difference between its performance and the performance of my Galaxy S4 Mini. Haven't tried the camera yet but I cannot argue with the price. It seems to run all my apps and charges fine as far as I can tell. You can always buy an extra battery since these are user-replaceable.

  • does anyone knows how i can put a song for the ringtone? thank you

  • LG K7 LTE (LG-K332) - Back (Rear) camera image quality is worst for LG K7 LTE smart phone Rear camera image quality is not good as compare to 5.0 mega pixel camera. Camera Image quality is not goodÂ… And charging is not faster as compare to other phone In Rs.9500 other are better options.

  • This phone sucks because when video chatting the phone dies 2 times faster. Don't charge fast enough and the camera quality suck ass. This phone was a wadte of moeny!!!

  • Don't buy this phone bcoz low resolution n camera is pathetic

  • Does anyone know how to make this damn phone louder because I have a bluetooth speaker and i used to have the lg tribune2 and it was twice as loud then this thang and before that I had the Nokia Lumia 635 and it was twice as loud as the LG tribune2 help me please this thang is pitiful

  • Battery back up nice

  • agreed too heavy. i should have got the samsung core prime as my freebie

  • got got from metro pcs. distorted 7 staticky sounding voice when turned up past 2/3 volume most of the the time. didn't do it when i went back to metro 2 times to get another one so they say they cant replace unless the experience the problem themselves. it was free so i didn't expect much but am frustrated with all the time & gas money already spent trying to resolve this. should have gotten the samsung core prime for my fee phone. i know this samsung is not great either but a friend of mine got it & has had no problems for the past month. sales lady at metro said lg k7 was better so i got it. said it has a better processor. i think they just push the one that costs them the least for the free phones.

  • I don't know why these kind of craps are released despite selling for 9500rs and having snapdragon 210 chipset which is insane. Atleast should have 2500mah battery and should have snapdragon 410 or 415 chipset...

  • can i buy this phon....tell me friend it is peform good

  • I LOVE this phone. I am amazed at the quality of this phone for the price!! I paid $250 for my LG Optimus in 2013..no storage space..this phone was only $80 and is outperforming my other LG in leaps and bounds! Battery life is amazing, it is VERY fast, easy to use, gives me 4x more storage than my $250 phone. If you want an inexpensive phone that works well, I highly suggest the K7. Camera does not perform well in low light, but use the flash and all is good! Actually "Live is Good" with this LG!!

  • When you very first buy a new phone it comes with half a battery about, Yes.. You are supposed to then let the phone completely die so it powers of then charge it for the first time .. WHY?? PHONE BATTERIES ARE RE_CHARGEABLE Batteries. I Have no problems when charging my phone it charged in no time flat..

  • According to me the wieght of this phone is too much.

  • This phone sucks the battery life is bad and when charging the phone it take's over 2 hours to charge and i got it like a week ago and its already a piece of junk. I recommend you not to buy or advest in buying this phone. there are so many phones way better than this phone.

  • Bought k7 3-11-16. Died on 4-10-16. Replaced 3 days later. 2 weeks later sim card slot went bad. Getting new phone in 3 days again to sell on Craigs list.me tropics should stop offering this phone. Worst phone I ever owned

  • This phone is o.k. if you don't want to spend a lot of money. I HATE the battery life on it. I can barely get through a day sometimes without having to charge it, and I'm not a heavy user. Also, it does not have an indicator light, which is trivial to some, but a must have for me. Everything else works fine for an entry level phone, but if you're looking for the latest and greatest, skip this.

  • True That! Agree on the superior capabilities of RAM Management in Windows phone inspite of hundreds of apps installed (on phone or on SD Card). LG seems to be really desperate to enter into the budget phones segment. Poor choice of screen resolution for a 5inch, poor chipset which is SD210 available in sub INR 10000/- price point; poor battery(2125mAh - others in its category have a min of 2500mAh); bad coice of Primary Camera @least 10MP would have been good. Overall I think K7 should have had the specs of K10 in following departments : Screen resolution1280*720 @5"), Camera(Primary 10MP), Battery >2500, INternal 16GB (this is an android phone - it doesn't allow us to install apps in the SD Card like Windows Phone8.1/10) K10 specs at INR 13500/ is way behind the same prices Lenovo P1/K4Note or Samsung J5 (2016) @ less than that price gives more value with a higher RAM. LG you are the best phone manufacturer when it comes to premium flagships (G3/G4, etc), however please exit from this small entry/mid-variant. You fail to understand this game...

  • Try a windows phone. Unlike Android, which I have also, you can store 99% of your apps on the sd card. For example, my Lumia 640 has 1gb ram, and 64gb sd card. I have over 300 apps installed, with over 600 mb still left on the phone ram. even with all those apps, the Lumia starts up fast, and runs fast. my Moto phone, I lucky to get 40-50 apps on it because Android has decided the majority of your apps has to be in ram. So unless you have tons of ram, you're out of luck.

  • This mobile has become my favorite mobile, it is not much expansive as well as having multiclass functions. it works very fast & smoothly (this is really faster than faster). I like this mobile LG K7.

  • I love this phone...AND i have none of the problems people r complaining about. I agree with whoever said they r IDIOTS...and agree with non smartphone users. I was unsure of sd card slot (dual) but i found located on top of sim card, again, why its called "dual". Heads up though, depending on brand of yur headphones, my cheaper skull candies n a cheapy $5 earpiece both soundef better then my BOSE headset, yaugh right, crazy but true. Try a variety. afa ev thg else works great. Could be an issue w/ your service, not phone. Also its not a computer, watch what u download and back up, dont store a ton of stuff on phone..

  • This phone is terrible, I had it for one month and it was running slowly and would not save anything to the sd card I had to manually move everything and even then I could not open my file manager. I took it to the store and they could not even figure out what was going on with it, I was in there for an hour while they were trying to fix it. The guy in the store actually said to me that this phone is a piece of crap and that I need to buy a different one he even suggested that I buy a phone from eBay because this phone is terrible

  • I totally agree, have the core prime but went back to my f60 because it was just bad software all around it was a pain to use.

  • I agree with you. I just visited a T-Mobile store today, and this phone is plenty good for the price. And, I was impressed with the display in spite of the low ppi.

  • Got the LGK7 on April 6 2016 after metro employee talked me out of buying a ZTE version that was cheaper. I wished i listened to my gut and bought the ZTE. The LGK7 looks sleeker and expensive but its volume level is terrible when using it with headphones or outside speakers. Also the sound quality when speaking on the phone is not crystal clear but is scatchy and crackly. I had to contantly ask callers to repeat themselves or speak louder. I will never make this mistake again. NEVER

  • I agree gd phn gr8 price what else do u want.

  • Wow, I just read through all the user reviews and i have to say, quite a lot of idiots. The LG K7 is a prime phone for the price range. You can't buy this phone or any phone at the low price range and expect the best phone on the market. Phone slowing down is due to people who have no idea about a phone and how it works. Basically, put too much on the phone it slows it down, not clearing out the cache also slows the phone down. If you power cycle your phone every other day that helps as well. Oh and using the phone like a computer and then complaining about the phone? Really? This phone is amazing to say the least. Here is what i have owned ok....HTC one mini, HTC M8, just to name 2 cause these are great phones. Now in comparing all 3 phones the LG K7 darn near rivals the HTC one mini and even keeps up with the HTC M8. HTC M8 was a great top of the line phone so yeah, yall saying negative things about the LG K7 are in need of a smartphone class, seriously. If you have something to say then you better have proof or be ready to be put to shame.

  • Sd card slot is on top of sim card slot. Slide face up right above.

  • this shape of phone is not interesting

  • I got one a little over a month all,,and watching a video in YouTube the phone turned off,, and now it won't go on AT ALL, try reseting it and still won't go on,,,went to the store and they can't figure out what happened with it. now I got to buy a new one I have no idea what to do now..cause they told me it would take from 2 to 3 weeks to get a new one..this phone really sucks bad bad phone..

  • Where the heck is the sd card slot??

  • Ok listen to me please. If you are coming to metropcs GET THIS PHONE. DO NOT GET THE CORE PRIME. THIS IS WAY BETTER. The ppi is not as good as the prime but trust me. If you want a good phone get this. Its amazing for the price.just get a sd card and dont use up all the phones space or else it will slow down.Thats the same for all phones though. GET THIS PHONE.

  • The screen resolution is pretty low but surprisingly usable if you don't care about detailed photos. phone is brand new and every other day the screen freezes and I have to restart. The only deal breaker for me is the GPS. It almost never gives me a useable position.

  • Well lets see where i start, first of all i read all the reviews and most of them are crap, second you have to review this phone for what it is, a budget phone and since is a budget phone you can't compare it with the s7 obviously for me is do the job for what is designed and then some is a good little phone and i like it

  • Since i had the lgk7 its greeat fell a couple times didn't crack its fast battery last like o jolly rancher maybe it's location, or maybe u guys like criticizing.

  • The k7 is a great phone it isnt an s6 but its great its a lil dull and no led light makes it a deal breaker but i fell in love with this phone

  • Switched to metro yesterday and got the LG k7 for free...the phone is pretty laggy if you multi task, the vibration feedback on the keyboard is really weak, camera sucks besides the front cam (front cam is actually descent) takes long to charge. Can't figure out how to turn on the notification blinker, over all feel of the phone in my hand feels kinda cheap, I won't complain because it was free , however I will be calling today to try and get the service switched back on to my old galaxy s4... The S4 is 3 years older and runs 10x better in all aspects !!

  • Howd u get it th blink at all??

  • y would you not take it free.My samsumg prim is broke in stead of paying $20 for replacement i was going to pay $50 and get the LGk7 should i noy and if not Y? I mis my LGoptomus 90 I really loved that phone

  • Have you figured this out yet?

  • Anyone who can share the stocm wallpapers of the K7 please?

  • I agree I paid $100 for it and it is the worst phone ever it constantly freezes up and its super slowthe light is always dimming the voice recognition stinks and thepictures look like total crap,. The list goes on I wish I kept my old phone

  • Worse phone ever the screen always goes dim for no reason at all it always freezes up it's always loadingand when I go to take a picture there is nothing to click to take the pictureand the pictures look like crap anywayin the voice recognition is so far off

  • The T-Mobile US version use a Nano sim not a micro sim.

  • So you get what you pay for. This phone for was 100 out the door with no contract. So do I miss my Apple phone yes I do was Android a system I like no not really but I'm getting used to it. At least this phones screen didn't break in my coat pocket in the otter case like my Iphone 5s did within the 1st month of having it. So all the carriers suck in my opinion but I didn't have to pay 400 for the phone and my bill is 30 a month compared to 110 with Sprint. So those of you who just say the phone is crap your entitled to your opinion but how about give us reasons why you feel that way. Is this a great phone NO but it is a good phone for the cost. Thats only my opinion.

  • Mine was free.

  • desperate or not a free phone is a free phone, dont like the phone, give it to someone wholl appreciate. frrreeee... and theyre both crap-ish

  • Thats what I have and it lasts forever. Maybe its newer thats why its not on Amazon yet?

  • Can you tell me what the battery # you have? I tried to get a back up on ebay and they say the BL-46ZH doesn't exsist.

  • How do I get the notifications light to blink on the front instead of the strobe in the back???

  • If you paid $100 through Metro PCS yer a moron. It's only $50 after the rebates. BTW, my battery lasts forever. With Heavy use starting at 7AM, I still have over half my battery life left. HD Voice calling, video calling, Hospot, expandable memory, etc.... The res could be better, but overall is on par with my S5 from work. $50 vs $500....I will take that.

  • Terrible ppi. Anything below 225 or so, today, is sad.

  • Paid $100 bucks cash for this phone. It is garbage in comparison to High end devices. Less sensors. (No ambient light sensor.) ?? The battery is terrible. Dies quick charges show. Processor is fast, ram could be better. For free its not bad. I paid for it and feel ripped off. No auto brightness because no light sensor.

  • I got the lg k7 shipped to my house last night. So far it's a good phone, maybe

  • LG K7 Is Way Better the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. I Had Nothing but problems with My Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. I'm glad I switched to the LG K7. Just My Opinion. Not Everyone Might have problems with their Samsung Galaxy Core Prime.

  • I Have the LG K7, and I'm Totally Happy With My Phone. I Love It!! I Have No Problems With My Phone. It's a Great Phone. I Love everything on it. I would Recommend this phone. I Have NO issues with it. I'm one Very Happy Person with My LG K7. I Think It's a Great Phone. I Paid For My Phone. I Seen a comment about it being free. Mine wasn't Free. =)

  • got 2 today for free and metro pcs ...great for the price...lol

  • Both phones are junk... What kind of phone companies give away "free 4g LTE smartphones"? Oh yeah, desperate ones. Core prime is garbage compared to the Grand Prime

  • Okay. We'll see how long your LG lasts compared to the iPhone

  • really man? you probably still have a feature phone...

  • is there geo tagging? thinking of buying this

  • There really is 1.5 i went into metro pcs today and got the phone

  • What's better from metro Samsung Galaxy core prime or lg k7

  • The phone was free from Metro PCS with port in, and even for 100, put up against my wife's iPhone 6,and my best friend's Galaxy S 5, it keeps up just fine, so I am very satisfied, and kept a bunch of money in my pocket, because I went in to buy the S5 549.99 +tax.

  • I have the Metro version, it is 1.5 GB RAM. It's a nice little phone overall, if they would have given it the 8MP camera instead of the 5,I'd have no complaints at all

  • Poor Screen Resolution... But hey, nice design!!

  • No it's small enough where you can hold it in one hand and still press the buttons

  • you got that right an I think it was waterproof to but wasnt supposed to be lol as I had an accident with a mud puddle lol

  • You can turn the sound on or off by goin to general settings,accessibilities and go to vision and youll see volume cut off.

  • You can turn the notification light on or off by goin to general settings,accessibilities and go to hearing and youll see notification light.

  • Reviews* and i meant 1/1.5 ram. Sorry!

  • So... Is the 8gb rom version 1 or 1.5.? MetroPCS specs says 1.5 but blig reviews says 1... So is MetroPCS giving special versions or lying?

  • is the phone big?

  • it sure can ive already have that set up

  • I just got this phone as an early valentines day gift. I had the LG F60 prior and I actually really liked that phone. Switching tobthis phone I actually really love this one now. The downside is that there is no silent and you can't customize your texts like you could on the F60. Overall though the K7 has very good clear quality and takes pictures very well. I've always stuck to LG brands when it comes to androids. So the k7 is way better than the other LG brands I have had before. i.e The spirit, the LG Optimus, the LG l7 the motion, and yes even the fF60.

  • Have u figured out how to cut on the notification light???

  • I just got this phone through Metro PCS. I LOVE IT!! I had another LG model before this one and it was much smaller and fell apart super fast. This phone keeps up with my demands and has a larger screen for easier viewing and larger keyboard for easier typing...LOVE IT. I would recommend everyone getting this phone I paid $90 for it and it has been well worth it.

  • For the past 3 yrs I have been an iPhone owner, but the battery is dying, I thought of replacing it, but my boyfriend thought it was better to just get me a new phone. We decided on the LG K7 because of its appearance & cost. Getting reacquainted with a smartphone was a bit of a struggle, but I got the hang of it again. My boyfriend didn't have to do this! He was really sweet for doing it!!!

  • I downgraded to this from a Samsung Galaxy S6. Very nice phone I must say, and for me it was free through Metro since I switched from another provider. The keyboard sucks, I replaced it with Google keyboard. The battery life is amazing once the launcher is replaced with Nano. Overall the battery life even stock is way better than my S6 with two battery savers running. The screen is very comfortable and natural due to tinted glass. Ram isn't much but it's sufficient with wise usage. Already dropped this phone a few times and not a scratch on it - it's tough. OS is close to defaults with some LG specific tweaks to the UI. Not really any bloat. The overall feel is similar to an HTC after the bloat has been stripped off. Great feedback function. Camera hates low light but otherwise sufficient. Speakers are all good. Actually sound overall outperforms my S6. I like this phone - it's the first $50 winner I've ever seen. We're finally seeing decent low end phones, that's great! Let's hope it keeps growing!

  • However, the "Brick" could last for more than 10 years, but this LG, I believe it won't.

  • Actually at Metro PCS it is $50 after all the instant rebates

  • Can the LG K7 pair up with the iHome bluetooth portable speaker

  • For $100 this is a fantastic phone. A little light on RAM and processing power but it only cost one Benjamin Franklin... I cannot complain. Back in my day the Nokia brick (3310) cost almost 200 lol

  • It was free when I transferred from another service to MetroPCS.

  • LG K7 from MetroPCS tethers, too.

  • MetroPCS 8GB phone has 1.5GB RAM. Android 5.1. Calls over WiFi, which for overseas travel will be awesome.

  • How much is the handset? under 100 what can you expect?

  • I just picked up 2 of these from Metro PCS for $50/ea. (Replaced Samsung Galaxy Light) I went in the store ready to get the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime. But after seeing this and comparing everything, this won out. Yes the rear camera and screen have better specs on the SGGP, but they were not a big enough difference for me to spend twice the price. Now if you are gonna compare to high end, yes, it will lose. BUT even tho the screen res is low, it is more than acceptable for my eyes. Which is all that should matter, ignore specs and go see and try out for yourself. I watched a movie on Vudu, looked fine...for a 5" screen. I like the bigger size vs my previous device which had a 4" screen. So far it is nice and smooth, no issues downloading a bunch of apps. Wish the WiFi was dual band as I have a dual band router, but still worked with no lag and pretty fast download speeds. Our old devices would stutter and lag at times and seemingly all the time whenever an app was updating or downloading. I have a Galaxy S5 for my job through my employer and this LG stands up pretty well against it. Let's be honest tho, at $50 there is really no risk involved in comparison to the $500+ phones. If I drop it, run over it, take it for a swim...big deal, it's $50. Try saying that with an iPhone or S6. So in closing, it has been great and I really do not regret the purchase.

  • Got it for free baby! Serving it's purpose for now. Does what I need it to. Camera not great but is not that serious!

  • Disrepectful as phones are phones my rent 550 i aint buying a phone. Worth my rent and i work at a hospital and assisted living place i refuse to waste money this phone works for me

  • Have you used it? People who go off specs make me laugh. I sat this down next to my friends galaxy s6. Load times, boot times, sound quality, app performance were almost indistinguishable. People go on and about retina. From the distance people use their phones at, barely distinguishable. Pics suck but I have a DV, and I'm only taken drunken selfies with a phone anyway. Keep letting people tell you you need a octo core. The software is governed! That's right Android OS even when rooted is governed! Which is why even rooted, over clocking a mobile device is a thing of the past and only causes masivee instability. Don't get me wrong this is a temp until I decide my next permanent phone but I'm impressed for $50. And I build custom gaming computers regularly. And my lady friend with a s6 who paid 350 with deposit and deductible was a bit bitter ha-ha.

  • MetroPCS has this phone for free when you switch from your current carrier an 8 gigabyte an 8 gigabyte hotspot best deal right now anywhere

  • Does anybody know if it has stage fright 1 and 2 patches?

  • Just purchased today and must say I love it!!!! Decent size phone, decent display. For the price not bad at all.

  • That resolution..hmm. Standard today is something like at least 720p on 5", 2gb ram and 3000 battery..

  • people! you would rather spend 6-700 dollar phones for your teenage kids who will break or loose the phone in a month? this is only $50 with metropcs.

  • me too

  • hahahaaaaaa.... quad core 1.1 ghz or 1.3 ghz and just 1/1.5 g of ram. it is really laughable. lg we are in 2016 not 2006.please make phones with day specification. these specs are to old and out of date

  • Even its free i dont want it...lol

  • with k7 display LG going back to 2010-12

  • Well... most women don't really know what pixel density is.. As long as the phone looks good, they don't care what is inside it.. Same goes for men who are totally ignorant about smartphones

  • $50 on metropcs

  • 2016 and releasing < 200 PPI phones?.. Who will even buy this?

  • 2016 and releasing

  • as compare disply ppi is very low

  • Poor pixel density.

  • Nice Phone ...

  • Hope the price is right
