LG KC910 Renoir - User Reviews

  • I got this phone in January 2010 after bricking my Viewty. Music player sounded pretty authentic! Camera was 8MP and man pictures were actually pretty clean!! Video recording was the best! Bad part was it didn’t seem to recognize the memory card.. smh Had a lot of phone with this phone as my assistant. It actually broke when it fell into a second story death after 5 months. I ended up getting a Blackberry at that point.. so I actually felt conflicted. I loved the IM and emails but hated not having the music and camera!!!

  • Living that 8MP life in 2008 must've felt amazing ;) And the video quality was perfectly normal for 2008 and even 2009 YouTube videos.

  • What's App is a Smart Phone app only supported for Windows, Blackberry, Android, and iOS. This phone is NOT a Smart Phone. Sorry :(

  • why can't it take whatsapp application

  • If it still matters, the Renoir, it used to last maybe a day. Depending on how heavy you use it. Using internet browser, games, camera and other apps will drain your phone battery. The battery is very weak like most of the LG feature phones. But if you're just texting, and calling and light use, it lasts fairly well. But this phone it is hard NOT to use the apps because it is designed for fun.. lol

  • Yes I agree a well designed phone camera and lens with very clear slow mo low format maybe but a real lens by Schneider-Kreuznach. Schneider are preparing external lenses for the 6 but the Renoir lens was very well balanced.

  • how many hours its' battery working?

  • it's really good and better then my last phone but i don'tn really know how to use it? :p

  • Came to pay my respect to this amazing phone. I fell in love with it when I first got it. Played movies at full resolution, music player was delicious to my ears. Also the camera was just downright amazing specially for its time! The quality was great and I caught many great moments with this phone! Also featured some neat built in apps and features!! Video editing and picture editing was a breeze and battery lasted pretty decent!! I now own a BlackBerry Z10 but felt I should pay my respects to this amazing phone :) LG Reno it you were an awesome friend mate :)

  • I have this phone now and i have problem. Sometimes, when i play video/music he stuck and freeze... I have to pull battery out to recover him...

  • Had this phone a while but camera freezes on loading plus cant view downloads from youtube it always exits !

  • It iz my best phone . I m user almost 5 year . I have only change touch 2 time. My favrit phone lg kc910

  • This phone is/was amazing! Definitely the strongest phone I've ever owned. After three years of constant drops and two complete water submersion, it is still FULLY functional. The camera is phenomenal for it's time. I like it so much I even gave it a nickname lol xD

  • Been using this phone for around four years..I give him 9 out of 10 still.. He's great,most impressive specs for 2008 year, LG nailed others with this release back then.. I recommend to everyone-you won't regret :)

  • How come there isn't an app store/how can you download apps?/can you download apps?

  • what about hebrew language?

  • If you look after your phone it will look after you. My view is still one of the best on the Market with less added data But for a Mobile compared to a choc ice then your laughing :D

  • Even now this phone is having a wonderful camera.Day light photos are fantastic.

  • omg... u weirdos still messaging about this phone due to still using it,,, whoever is having problems and asking questions bout this phone's capability, GET WITH THE TIMES. Don't expect much from a 2008 phone, it's 2013 now. God.

  • I received my LG KC910 3 weeks ago and over this period of time it has worked for about 4 days. The phone freezes and shuts itself off. Latterly it would look like it was on but nothing would appear on the screen other than a very faint background light then it would fade out. The battery is fully charged and I haven�t had it on or used it enough to use up any of the handset memory. I am very disappointed in the company I bought it from as they are ignoring my messages that I have issues. They did not take so long to take the money from my account. Shame really as sound quality, picture clarity and ease of use was great..if only it would work. Waste of money.

  • my phone lg kc 910 does not support whatsapp and games n also downloaded

  • Lg kc910 superb phone photo quality excellent browsing also good iam using this phone past 3 year there is no problem

  • yes

  • Do it have videocall using skype or yahoo messenger by means of wifi???

  • Yes you can use this phone to tether a laptop/pc very easily and it works like a charm! I have been doing this for a few years on this phone and never had any problems.

  • You just need to install the software on your laptop/pc that came on the cd with the phone.Then all you do is open the lg pc suite software and select "internet kit" (make sure the phones usb option is set to internet) and thats it! your laptop will see the phone as a connection and you just select it!

  • I removed the screen protector of my LG KC910 Renoir and clean the screen with alcohol now i have problem with the keypad its not responding anymore whenever i touch the unlock key it doesnt work anywork i just have to use the right side button to unlock it,and when i type a message it goes to my folder or sometimes it always prompt for insert options, i can no longer type messages,Can somebody help me to fix this or do i need to change the screen or lcd.

  • Hi, Pls let me know whether it is possible to record video calls? Also I need to know whether there is a "beep " sound when starting, ending and continuing voice call recording facility. Thanks

  • yea you can go onto the internet with this phone but you can't connect the internet from your phone onto your laptop

  • Pls tell me whether there is a "beep" sound while starting, ending and continuing call recording. Also I need to know about video call quality of this phone.

  • i have this cell phone.. apart from its camera functions.. it sux!! it cant be updated, slow operating system, slow ram... man please make that kinda cell phone so that people can put in on the table and proudly say!!! hey THIS IS MY CELL PHONE with every thing I want!!

  • had this phone for nearly 2 yrs, just replaced battery for $7, battery life is great. bought for $180 australian originally. not as good as an iphone (of course) is very good as a phone and excellent as a camera. operating system is a little slow and needs a micro sd card that has a fast write speed (at least class 6) for fluent HD video capture. touch screen requires you to press firmly (resistive not capacitive) great to use on wifi however I still havent worked out how to use it as a mobile modem connected to laptop etc.

  • Hey can we connect internet in lg kc 190renoir to laptop please tell me friendzzzz........

  • user friendly camera is too good i think its very good phone

  • how can i install themes for this phone

  • how do i change the phone to english?

  • cons: Annoying menu. It returns to index page instead of previous page. Sometimes shortcuts launch wrong functions. After taking photo camera isnt ready for another shot but still waiting for user action. You cant set filename template. Hidden access to memory card. Not sufficient low battery warning. It doesnt terminate running applications to save energy. pros: great look, big clock and calendar, sd card slot outside of casing, wifi, detachable phones (you can connect phone to car radio easily), nice quality of pictures. If you are going to use camcorder make sure that micro sd card is fast enough. Class 4 cards fall behind.

  • i have my lg renoir i am so very happy with what i´ve got, sound is awesome, it takes almost perfect pictures and the slow motion camera is a very nice and funny way to make a video i totally recommend this phone, it´s the best i ever had, it would be hard for you find a better device extremely happy with my lg renoir!!!

  • efs media bueilder download connect ur set and install firmware

  • he means wlan :)

  • Free internet ? Care to explain please. I'm interested to know.

  • It actually looks and feels less clunky than the pictures. If you can put up with a resistive (not capacitive) touch screen it is excellent. Sometimes you select things when you want to scroll, and sometimes it doesn't scroll as much as you want. You don't have to push too hard, but you do have to be consistent. The camera is AWESOME aside from the fact it has no manual White Balance (I don't think any camera-phone has) And if you pick the right preset you can get excellent (but not perfect) shots (but if you want perfect shots you'd carry a dedicated camera with you wouldn't you?) Customisable Multitasking Key is great - access to your most used functions with one button push, and End All tasks with three. T9 intelligence and touch screen responsiveness is WAY batter than KU990 Viewty. ANY capacitive touch-screen is MUCH nicer to use but the cameras and flashes aren't as good...

  • Does the renoir have conversation view text messaging? like threaded text.. Someone please answer

  • KC910 is so great, unlimited free internet, gud camera. I love it..

  • they are both java apps so there is no problem

  • I've had this phone for a almost a year now and the first few months of having this LG Renoir had been very exciting. But then the phone became frustrating as it is VERY VERY laggy (the lagginess didn't affect my love for it for the first few months cause I was too excited to worry about it :D ). It's touchscreen isn't as responsive as you'd like it to be, but it still does work.. But the most best feature of this phone is its 8 mp camera!

  • euh can someone tell me if i can use ebuddy? opera? and other cool apps that use internet on that? can we change wallpaper and apply themes?

  • i really like this phone. it has good shot, clearer voice cals

  • hi you can easily solve the problem do it again,,,,,

  • i got a this hp in good condition until yesterday....I try to update the firmware, after 5 minutes my pc suddenly restart and the updating process failed... Now the hp still can ON, the LG logo still got but after that the "refreshing" word will appear on the screen (yellow screen).plz let me know if any one know wt need to do..??

  • my friend is selling this kind of phone for only Php 8K still negotiable.

  • Try 3 Store customer services

  • Dont think its made any more, but lots lying around in big chain stores

  • is this phone still available in the market. i went to 2 shops yesterday n they said the production for this model has stopped... if anyone knows please reply fast...

  • LG Fail! LG made one big mistake by hosting an event for a 50% off one hour/one day sale in the Philippines. They made the customers wait for 3hrs only to find out that only few customers can avail the promo. I don�t give a damn if they don�t care about the customers but to give them false hope is more than an insult�It�s a crime that needs to be punished. Please don�t buy LG products.

  • you can force the flash on, off, or auto modes to force it on, you select red eye mode. **correction** it seems to make the flash work better that auto mode, but but it wouldn't work in bright light

  • you can force the flash on, off, or auto modes to force it on, you select red eye mode.

  • Hello I have a problem I have estonian mobile sim(number) but I am right now at finland and I cant call to estonia only can send SMS to estonia ,but I can call to finnish mobile numbers so whats the problem ? I would really be thankful if someone would post a good tip or something to help with this problem.

  • I kindly request the information in the following cases: 1. Is the menu is available in Polish? 2. Is the GPS in your phone: New Unlocked LG KC910 Renoir 8.0MP 3G Phone GPS Wi-Fi you can upload maps of USA and Europe?

  • can i use facebook with this phone? need ur reply plz..planning to buy it tommorow

  • I got Skype working but can only chat, Video chat is not an opption, Any reason why this is...?...

  • Skype...?... can you actually Skype like in face to face ,or is it only Chat...?...

  • I have an LG Renoir and can not recommend them.. As stated.. they are a PITA to use. Texting is a PITA. Ring volume is poor, If you work/are in a mildly noisy area you can not hear it ring.. Mp3 Ringtone no better. Camera takes reasonable pictures but the phone itself is a POS

  • This fone isn't particularly good. Usage is difficult, build quality is cheap and it's full of other gimmicks. It might be high-specification to some degree, but in terms of quality it's down with the worst.

  • camera is a good...very clear...audio its a good...but nit not symbian phone..but greatssss..

  • any one been able to get gps maps on to sd card 4 stand alone(no network)gps?

  • no fm transmitter :-( but still a great phone

  • got 16gb in mine and works great. better to go to the memory card and view/play files as gallery is to slow if you have a lot of files

  • Luis and anonymous they do say you can use 16 gig card, .it may slow the phone down. but worth a try. Handled 8 gig well. and does get FM stations.

  • Can this mobile have upto 16Gb sd memory card or 8gb max??????????? Your specs say 16gb however the LG website says 8gb? CONFUSED!!! Anyone help? thanks

  • Please tell me if the LG KC910 Reinor has FM trasmitter or not? contact me [email protected] Thx...

  • Shayla, had Renoir one yr. this is a classy model with best camera out. software upgrades help ans screen behaves like a capacitive. Well worth the money but the next iphone will be 8 mega pixel and will outclass Renoir every other way. But Renoir does nearly everything. Bluetooth, dolby, and beatiful to hold / look at. photo edit is fun

  • Its an amazing phone you've to try it!

  • amazing

  • i have this since 2years the very good thing in this fon is the camrea only

  • I got this phone few days back and is having good time with it... But am facing issues in connecting to internet.. i'm using Airtel Edge connection and could not set up my profile for browsing. plz help!

  • Its very good. For a smart mobile.

  • how is the battery of renoir? long or what?

  • get a piece of paper, fold it so the fold is sharp. CAREFULLY part screen and metal side with your finger nail. Carefully scrape out gunk in the side of the phone (dead skin, dried sweat, dust) The screen may be blocked by build up of stuff and may be stopping the receptor thingys from working the touch screen. But since your phone is new this shouldn't happen. Take it back to where you bought it or call LG.

  • HELP NEEDED! My LG renoir's touch screen is playing up madly!!! I've had it for nearly a year and just now my touch screen isn't responding to touch selections. Buttons work fine, and screen is ok; no scratches, but the screen is just not responding.. PLEASE HELP!!!!

  • Is this phone worth 179 buks? is it good coz i want to buy it tomoro? HELPPP ME ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS FOR CHEAP,new AND GOOD PHONES? Help wud be very much appreciated :)

  • There are fake LG renoirs depending on the area you live in. The price range from $300 - 350..tax can vary in countries.

  • Im about to buy this phone.But which i dont know is do they have fake lg renoir?How much usually is this phone when u buy them in retail store?

  • LG RENOIR is Good, iam having it for almost 2 years, but those who want apps this is definetly not the phone you should see

  • Call quality is bad,but if you want a phone with good multimedia experience,you are welcome.

  • Call quality is bad, but if you want a phone with good multimedia experience,you are welcome.

  • I've had mine for 6 months now, and totally love it. Had no problems. Easy to use and navigate. Highly recommend it!

  • I have one and i quite like it. i reckon it's pretty good.

  • so is LG RENIOR bad or good ? cause some people say its good and some say its bad, im like confused ?

  • so the flash it works automatic ? cause like if it does, i wont buy it

  • this is available right now? and who much? thanks

  • motorola can not be better than any branded cell phone such as lg, nokia, samsung e.t.c..

  • this phone is my favouriteee!! i have it 2 months about!!

  • Save your money. Looks great on the specs sheet but is a PITA to use. The GUI is very sluggish and inacurate and the flash is fully automatic, i.e., you can't turn it on manually and it needs to be pitch dark for it to fire. Worst phone I've ever used.

  • which is better the LG KC910 or Mororola Zn5?

  • I agree with Sam, I had this phone for about 2 months and there has'nt been any problem yet except a few small ones. Every function works..camera's greatttt..luv the multimedia system..

  • actually i want to buy this phone but i am not sure how it is??????????????//

  • I have this phone now for a week! It's working perfect & no any problem with it. It comes with charger, usb cabal, head phone, manual & software cd. Very good quality photos & flash is doing very good job for dark lighting situations. perfect phone & recommend to buy!

  • please, dont! I have one and the most reputable repairers cant repair!

  • no, but it does come with an adaptor. I got mine for 124 AUD

  • Hi, i'm about to buy this phone, just a question, does it have a 3.5 mm headphone jack? Thanks

  • i got min for 150 Australian dollars. Its really good i love it

  • Yeah same here. It's a great phone!

  • i jst got this phone and its amazing phone

  • you are lucky i have to pay 199 usd to buy it in san diego

  • I've got this phone right now, and I love it.

  • what about the document viwer, i'm very interest on this, but no one talk about it... please tell me, is real the document viwer, special for pdf files?

  • Great phone, but there are a few problems. The phone is sluggish at all most everything it does and it is very slow to get into the camera so its very easy to miss stuff because of it. Otherwise its great.

  • I once had this phone it was the best phone and i wish i had the money to repair

  • I have this mobile and a lg gw520. I had the gw520 at first but I lost it, so started to use Renoir. I lost the gw520 back in April and found it out in the garden today, works perfectly, the same as it did before... I've went back to the gw520 because it's a much better looking phone... I don't care about camera and it has the qwerty keyboard... Also the user interface is much better on the gw520... It's a much runner mobile to play with and looks better too, with good features (just not as good as the Renoir, though). I gave the Renoir to my brother.

  • and yes , it's worth that price if you want to have a very good camera with your phone . but if don't care too much about the camera the LG KM900 Arena is a better choice .

  • Yes , the QWERTY keys will appear on the screen when you hold it horizontally while you're typing .

  • Does this phone have full screen qwerty keyboard? worth to buy if price USD $110?

  • ty john

  • It is the king of the camera phones. I have it for 8 months now. I have pushed it to the maximum several times. Going on wifi and texting at the same time, opening multiple pages, talking. In offline mode battery lasted couple of days taking pictures and videos. Wifi works great, remembering wifi pass wherever I was before (I was on vacation.) Sounds great, no bugs. I flashed it a month ago and it works fine. Now it is a little bit slower but who gives a damn. I used K800 and N82 before, this one is marvelous.

  • I can't seem to find a way to record phone calls either. It was a handy feature on my last LG phone. I'm disappointed they left out this feature. A pity it would have been an easy addition.

  • Can this phone record conversations? (It's supposed to multitask well so I figgered it could run telephony and voice recorder at same time.)

  • The LG Renoir has wifi

  • Got this phone for my girlfriend. No problems whatsoever. In terms of quality to price, not much beats it. I work in a Vodafone store so I see lots of phones come and go. Here in Australia they just dropped to $199 .... Can't go wrong there. Menu lacks colour, but everythign works quick and without hassles. Good phone overall

  • i have bought this from from UK and want to activate for tigo or claro in Central America Honduras but when i put any of those sim cards it says no network, when i try go pick manually a band it says no PLMN number what can i do to solve this problem?

  • hey please inform me on this which one is the best lg kc910 or c905

  • .........better choose the samsung mong.......it has wifi unlike renoir......

  • 10%1 out of 10 i have this phone for a year. I got it very expensive. It does not worth it's money. The plasticks are cheap. The touchscreen is laggy. You have to press twice some times Some other times it does not respond or you accidentally activate something while scrolling The firmware is very laggy. Nothing downloadable. You can only install java games but you can't play them because the handling is very dificult & laggy. Wifi & browser are very slow & laggy. youtube player quality is bad. YOU CAN'T ACCESS GOOGLE MAPS THROUGH WI-FI!!!!!!!!! AN-BELEVABLE!!!! IT CAN ONLY WORK THROUG 3G ( MONEY CHARGING) You can't use .gif files for wallpaper. No screen saver. The phonecall quality is really bad. All people say to me that i sound distand & funny... You cant' hear clearly the caller. The text messaging is laggy. It's really dificult when you wan't to change language durin texting... No better support from lg. The latest firmware they released was about a 1,5 year ago... The battery last for about 1,5 days... The only good thing in this phone is the 8 mgpixel camera and the vga 30fps sec. reconder. but when videorecording there are some gaps recording... After all this i am thinking of keeping it just as a digital camera and use my old phone ass a Cell phone!!!! ( because i gave a lot of money and ican't buy a similar phone so soon ) Very dissapointed... :( I think i waste my money and i feel like sucker... :(

  • Lg renoir vs samsung monte? what should i choose? monte have low price, but renoir have good camera resolution and camera flash.

  • hahaha.. so stupid! plz read warranty term n condition

  • uhmm iam planning to buy this phone by the end of july, but first i wud like to ask how much this phone will cost me(philippine peso or Us dollar)? I love the specs specially the camera... Ty in advance ^^

  • did you install flash player to the phone???

  • Great phone! Volume during conversation is pretty loud, much louder than Sony w910(which got excellent mark for loudness, and this got average??). Great camera. Saving video into divx format is fantastic thing, which I don't know any other company implements. That saves a lot of time(converting on pc)and space on mobile. Usage is simple, and it got everything I need already installed. I use it as a mobile, video player, music player, e-book reader..it works great for all. Little low resolution for internet usage, flash makes a litte bluish photos, but great phone..more I use it more I like it

  • Ya it does...

  • i wanna ask from somebody who knew the phone if the battery life is really short... it says that talk time is only 3 hrs... is there a way to make it longer??

  • Hi i am very confused if the kc910 renoir supports 16gb micro sd card? please tell me if it does because i am wanting to buy a micro sd card

  • This mobile sold 10 million handsets since release and the guy says failure.......

  • This mobile is a complete failure!

  • I like this unit but want to make sure before buying it, Can I access Skype using LG KC910?

  • how or can i transfer files from the renoir to my ps3, mainly photos?

  • i am lo buy the phone, and i do not know whether it is a good one or not... alot of people are saying it is an excellent phone others are saying its terrible.. hard decision.. is there anything i should be worried about or should know before purchasing the phone?

  • This is an excellent phone ,I have it for almost a year and no problems i use it with a 8GB microsd card. Camera features are awesome; excellent menu , touch screen works very good , never failed.WiFi excellent the browser and operating system way better that Nokia and Motorola (I had those before).All what you see in the adverstised video on LG website works like charm. Down side: I will say a little bulky and the streamming from the internet is a pain. Other else work superb. I will give thsi phone 8.5 out of 10

  • lol , good for you ! But the people with a higher budget know better ;)

  • Is this a good mobile phone or not? I am very interested in buying it but I need the opinion of those that are using it. One of the drawbacks I am seeing is that is a thick mobile phone...

  • can I use skype in this mobile?

  • Not a good phone. The phone charger connections shorts out and the phone turns off then you need to take the battery out then back in, freezes, touch screen plays up all up a 2 out of 10

  • can you browse hotmail and ebay easily on the kc910?

  • no...but you should buy it...it's great

  • I brought this phone today, got it home and was exactly as what i expected all over, BRILLIANT!. I would reccomend to people to buy, because if you compare to the iPhone and their models this phones beats it by a long shot. It has the best camera, loud mp3 player, all over just a really great and easy phone to work and use. So if your looking for a phone this is perfect, only $199, and for its features and use you cant go wrong at all.

  • Does it have the drawing panel? Thinking of buying it.

  • No you do not pay internet time to the celfon company when you are using your home wifi. WiFi is a different frequency and you can run it even without your SIM. Though i am not sure if this phone will open even without a SIM. Happy surfing :)

  • does this phone have 'motion activated games'? im not sure on the technical word but i mean the type of games where you turn the phone to turn a car for instance? anything like that or just touch activated? is the speaker really that bad? is the adapter to use normal headphones easy to use? is it bulky? any main flaws to this phone? will it last 24 months?

  • which k-mart? is the offer still on at 199? is it a good phone? please be honest because i can find it on a 19 cap and im worried its too cheap to be decent.. is the touch screen easy to use? because some reviews say you have to press hard, not simply touch. is there a widget for memos (sticky note type things)? is the music player good? and is the camera easy to use? any complaints about it or things you need to take extra care of? please let me know.

  • if u connect with wifi u dont. thats what i do with my nokia e63

  • No, you don't have to pay to the phone company.

  • if ive got wireless internet at home, will i have to pay the sim card company to use the wirless

  • if ive got wireless internet at home, will i have to pay the sim card company to use the wirless

  • if ive got wireless internet at home, will i have to pay the sim card company to use the wirless

  • Well, this morning I went to K-Mart & saw this phone for $249.00. I thought about it during the day as I am in a contract with Virgin & the Nokia N97 I purchased on the plan has a cracked LCD! Therefore a prepaid phone is just about my only option. Decided to buy it & went back this afternoon, still $249.00 as advertised. Took it to the checkout & VOILA, $199.00 was the price. VERY HAPPY as this was one of my choices of phones.

  • Good phone, awesome camera the speaker for playing music is very quite compared to my old nokia 6121. Touch senetivty is very good 99% of time very good phone

  • I have one of these phones and they are not that great the user interface is messy and confusing. i do not think they had anyone using any HCI guidelines when designing

  • i got a LG Viewty and its so crap, but i got one of these lg renoirs a while ago and it works so good, it deosnt shut off randomly like the Viewty

  • Nice phone I want one.

  • the price for the current model is $249.00 AUD prepaid provided you live in Australia.

  • the touch screen is very responsive but also can be damaged quite easily handle it with care and don't press too hard and it should all be fine good luck with such a excellent phone.

  • I have heard the battery life is fantastic and lasts awhile best to turn of things you don't use such as Bluetooth which will drain the battery quicker, hope this helps you.

  • You may need to take it back with the receipt and they should send it away to be fixed or they will replace the phone with another one.

  • Hey i was just wondering, does this phone have a drawing panel? thanks, x

  • Best to conatct Lg. But also check that ure wifi settings are ok. theres a possiblity a network intenet provider's internet is interfering. a possibilty its 2 to do with packet data interferance

  • Battery life great. if u listen to music and use the internet alot it is still very good. But if you use it for mainly just texts and calls it has fantastic battery life and last for around 4 days. whera's using music and internet last about a couple of days. :)

  • Anyone plz tell me about the battery life?

  • my phone is going off every tym and memory card not reading also camera not working

  • I am already connected to my home network wifi but when i try to browse it shows "the requested host was not found"??? Pls. help.

  • 210 USD..buy from ebay

  • can anyone tell me,how much the latest price of dis unit?tnx..

  • I've got a Renoir. It multitasks brilliantly - there is a dedicated multitask button. It runs j2me 2.0 java apps, so it runs basically anything out there. Apps are normally split screen - a pseudo keyboard is underneath the java window. For apps which are touchscreen, you can get rid of the keys by modifying the jar/jad file on your PC (download an app to do this :)

  • What about programs? Will it support programs or i will have problems with it like my U700 samsung?

  • can it multitask though??

  • how about multi tasking... support multitasking???

  • thank you, lg user! Just bought today.. Wow it is awesome. 8mpixel wth... And yea qwerty and motion sensitive. Gonna love it and thank you again ;)

  • yes it has QWERTY landscape for texts, motion sensitive

  • yes it has QWERTY landscape for texts, motion sensitive

  • Having owned and used both KC910 and KM900, by far the Renoir. (For one, the KM900 software broke after a month and needed upgrading). The widget works better on the 910, the camera is much better (8mega pixels is the best atm) and the screen sensitivity is just more responsive. However, battery wise and internal memory the KM900 was better and bigger. Partly the battery thing tho is i think b/c I find myself wanting to use the renoir/KC910 much more ie take more photos and sms lots...i mean lots. I got one of those little pens and its awesome. KM 900 doesn't have handwriting recog either. I spent one train ride drawing and adding in the emoticons I wanted in my templates sections. That was fun...

  • I have had the Renoir for just over 15 months had a blown speaker on the first one after 6 weeks but the one i got as a replacement has been faultless. The gps on stand alone setting is very accurate, Camera takes perfect pictures (even a professional photographer thought the pics came from a dedicated camera). I find the touch screen is really responsive too.

  • help me guys, im sooo confused, which one of these are better, Lg K910 renoir or Lg Km900 or Lg Gc900 viewty smart? help me guys T_T i love em all , but i want to buy just one of em! help me and thnk you

  • Yes you are right, I am having the same problem, in the middle of the talk, the call get quite and am unable to hear the opponent conversation. I am really frustrated and I don't know what to do?

  • After 10 months of owning this phone it has given me nothing but problems. First the speaker went out, now the touchscreen is malfunctioning constantly. I expected more from a top of the line phone, but apparently LG couldn't even get this phone to perform properly over a year. I am very disappointed.

  • hey,I have a problem with my renoir.it doesn't show digital camera's pictures.what should I do?

  • hi, anyone knows if this phone allowed you to modify an excel or word or offcie archives? thanks

  • i have some text messages that i have saved into a folder, is there any way of saving them onto a the phones memory card , so i dont lose them when it goes in for repair, as it will not hold any charge at all

  • i agree, it makes me so annoyed. we have words and letters for a reason so lets try using them.

  • ok so your phone crashes..that not a good thing. there is obviously something wrong with it..i work for network communications and i reccommend taking your phone back to where you got it and having it sent off to be fixed because there is obviously a problem with it and i have no idea why you didn't do that the first time it happened its just common sense!!

  • Take the stylus out of the holder, it bends enough to then thread through to attach to the phone.

  • First you must bring out the stylus then bend the bag

  • Ok...I've searched THE ENTIRE friggin web and I can't find what I'm looking for. Am I just very dense, or is it like, impossible to attach the stylus to the phone? The little string is like five times shorter than the bag-thingy. Please, it's really got the best of me and I'm sick of it.

  • any good site from where to download full length free mp3 directly from your mobile?

  • Does this have any casing or housing you can change? thanks

  • why lgkp500 does not have security code?

  • of course...it's automaticly turn on QWERTY

  • Does it have a on screen QWERTY Keyboard?

  • no it's not

  • does the LG renoir show text messages as conversations, like the iPhone?

  • First I would like to correct some phrases you used. It is a phone so you should use "it" NOT "he" !!! Anyways, for the restart problem try formating the phone. For data transfer use a memory card reader. I don't remember using any phone cables for data transfer. I already bought this phone :) Currently I am waiting the shippment.

  • I bought this phone recently because I was looking for a replacement. Even though it was cheap at AUD$300, I am somewhat disappointed. The predictive text for messaging is the worst I have experienced for a mobile phone, many common words simply are non-existant in this phones vocabulary. The touchscreen can often be unresponsive. The 8mp camera is also less than I expected based on the rave reviews it got. I took some comparison shots to compare side by side with my Nokia 6220 and the Nokia takes better quality photos even though it's only 5mp, the Nokia photos are less grainy and the colors more lifelike. The autofocus on Renoir is less accurate too because sometimes the results are blurry photos.

  • This phone is amazing just got it yesterday camra great. touch amazing the net is really good and fast wigets are fun.... just having sooo mutch fun the only thing i dodnt like so far is it you touch it to hard it seems to lose some colour it comes bak tho dodnt do it to mutch have a light hand :D

  • Set USB mode mass storage then connect via the cable to your pc. Works for mine.

  • I bought it yesterday, Everything seems fine, but I cant solve two issue.... 1. How can I record Phone conversation? Is it possible or not!! 2. How can I use GPS to know my position (lat & long)?? Please Help. Thanks

  • Hey, so u got identical problem? LG PC Suite worked fine on XP and Vista but not on Win 7. and i don't think Win 8 is out yet, Win 7 just came out. It can still access the phone memory but not the Micro SD. :( i've tried dl latest LG Software but no luck.

  • The best photo!!!!!!!!!1

  • does anyone know how i can change the world clock widget setting?? my renoir set seoul as its home time so where i actually live - vancouver time is different on the widget than the actual time, help pllllzz!

  • dude i have the same problem with windows7.im gonna down load windows8 and see how it goes.ive been with lg for the last 3yrs now and one thing i have to say is although they make great fones there pc suite is poo.better off using mass storage option to transfer

  • First l will compare this Renoir with rival Pixon: -Renoir has xenon flash(much better then Pixons Led); -Renoir has a bit smaller body then Pixon and much better feel in hands; -Renoir has simple but fast interface,so usage is faster.Pixon has better widget and eyelike interface; -Renoir has better sound in video recording it is actually stereo so you can enjoy in PC while watching them; -Renoirs screen is a bit smaller then Pixons so this is not good; -Aps like facebook or twitter are working perfectly on both model, kinetic scrolling has a bit smoother on LG but Pixon is all most same here; -And for last even the most important is that Renoir has WI-FI and it is fast,Pixon does not have it-so no Hot SPots for Samsung here. This is some small but simple compare of kronos1

  • I've had this cell for almost a year now, and i advice everybody considering bying this, not to. When i bought it in Denmark for about 500$, i started out by being happy about it. A month later the screen was totally wrecked, although i had barely used it, and had been very carefull with it. Now the camera is good for a cellphone, when used properly. The blitz doesn't really work, since it's way to strong so take pictures when theres a good light. The touch screen is also a little "slacky". If you're in a hurry, you might tend to press twice since the it sometimes react 0,5 or 1 second after you've touched it. A half-decent cell, but DEFINETELY not worth the money.

  • I've had phone for bout 2 months, great phone, much better than KU990. I've had no problem transfering files(photos, videos) to PC when i used Widnows XP. I installed Windows 7 yesterday but not i'm having problem. I'm using LG PC Suite that came wtih the phone, V 4.G.3.77.090206. In Windows 7 it detect and connects the phone without any problem, but it WON'T let me allow the memory card, only the phone memory. ??? Is this known problem on Win 7? do i need new software or something? any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

  • pls help. i tried to copy some files from the external to the internal memory. while copying i got a screen saying that there wasn't enough memory and it blocked on that screen. i tried to remove the battery, but not when i try to switch on, the phone gets stuck on the logo screen. it keeps rebooting itself but i can switch on totally to be able to delete some files from the internal memory. i tried several combinations. no sd car, no sim, pluged to charger but nothing seems to work. pls give me some advise

  • i have one and i will say its the best phone i ever used

  • this renoir is rocker of sound and camera

  • I think you need to do the touch screen calibration.

  • The phone doesn't come with an internal 8GB memory but there are available phone package that come with 8GB MicroSDcard. i got mine with 8GB a year ago and i am happy with it. As a phone it is okay, the same ol' primary functions. But as a Camera this phone is Awesome. I compared the pictures with my friend's Sony cyberShot 8.1 mp camera, but the quality of this phone camera is untouched due to the Schneider Kreuznach. The Slo-mo recording is a Plus in my opinion. As far the GARMIN Capability i do not know but it does have A-GPS. A word of caution if you are going to buy this phone is that it does LAG and it does occasionally crash for no apparent reason for which only thing to do is to take the battery out, put it back in and then turn it back on. Sometimes it might happen even twice a week. It is very annoying when that happens.

  • is this phone built in 8GB internal memory? somebody can help me to confirm it? n really this phone can support GARMIN or A-GPS??

  • yes and i've got mine, so crazy I am haha

  • can this phone support garmin??

  • Help pleaseee!!!

  • hey i just got this phone and i started it up and when i opened up the camera it always gets stuck on loading... can anyone help me out??? :(

  • this phone seems nice if u take good care of it i don't think you will have problems in it :)

  • It takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. When the battery is fully charged, the screen will give a notification to unplug the charger.

  • i'm going to buy this mobile for Christmas....wish me luck...

  • This phone is nice..i got this last year as a gift for myself..it has a nice features..and im still using this phone..the headset is nice..the touch sensitivity is nice also..also the camera..awesome..clear like a digital camera..so yeah..this is good for people who wants like all in one phone..

  • im thinking about buying this phone. but im not exactly sure if i should or not. ive heard some great reviews and vidoes on it but ive also heard shiit reviews is this phone worth getting or should i consider another phone?

  • Have you ever tried to use it for a call when the recorded voice says put in a certain number such as a menu selection and you try to but because the key pad has locked again you miss what they say trying to unlock the stupid thing again? Surely theres a setting to turn off somewhere?

  • erm...becoz if it doesn't...ur face will touch the screen...causing it to navigate some place else...or cancel the call...o.O :D

  • Can anyone tell me why my KC910 goes to keypad lock every time I get a call? Having to unlock the keypad every time is annoying to say the least. Then after you unlock it low and behold about 20 seconds later it's locked again and again..... Please some one

  • Just bought this phone (big mistake). Anyone know how I can hear the music louder? Even at full volume it is pretty faint. Appart from the camera, the rest of the phone is crap: bad audio quality, slughish interface and poor calendar.

  • I am using a KC 910,It is very good for normal phone calls. But internet usere it will not be suitable. youtube video playing is not easy like other phones. Not supporting useful mobile applications. Sip call not supporting Not supporting Nimbuzz and Fring. We can take photos that is the only use of this phone.Dont think about the purchasing of this phone.This is my advise.

  • One of the waste creation of this era is kc 910. Because it is rubbish. we can use it as paper weight. not possible to use sip calls. not supporting any good applications. you tube not easy to play like other mobles. only we can take some photos. For photos we can buy a cam. There is no need of LG KC 910 in this world- rubbish.Don't think about it. Not supporting Nimbuzz, Not supporting Fring.. Then what it support....I am becoming a mad by using KC910. I have to throw it in waste bin.

  • it is so good phone everything u want it has wifi gps and.... battery life is good for 3.0 inch and touch 16gb support memory camera is excellent

  • Have you read the review? It says "xvid player" :)

  • do you have to use your finger to control it or is there a pen that you use

  • i have had this phone for 4 months it is absolute rubbish the only good thing about it is the camera it is a dual band phone and does not work in u.s.a.

  • Can it play xvid? How the battery live? Can it play flash video?please replay..

  • this phone is great for voyeuristic purposes! upskirts! breastshots! stolen shots! woohyeah!

  • this phone is so crap, the softwear is soooo slow there was a big oil mark in the middle of my screen right from when i brought it it started stuffing up straight away i have ownded it now for 7mnths sent it away at least 6 times

  • Hi everyone! I could use some thoughts from the owners. I'm planning to buy a touchscreen phone with closed type OS and Wi-Fi, and since thw newest generation of DivX Mobile certified handsets arrived, I'm thrilled to get one. Best possible AVI playback became my decisive feature, because I travel a lot every day, and I don't have time for conversions. Tests helped me a lot, so I could narrow it down to 2 cellies: the Samsung Jet and the LG Renoir. According to tests, the 2 phones are said to be even with AVIs. Personally I favour Renoir because of it's lower price:) So, in your opinion, how reliable is the DivX/XviD playback support of this phone? I mean is the phone capable of playing the most common size (near VGA) and bitrate (~1000kbps) AVIs? Thank you for your answers in advance..

  • has anybody used the gps for tracking if so what maps did you use.. cheers

  • hi, i can watch videos through wifi. what i did was create another profiles in MENU/Connectivity/Internet profiles/ add profile, then service name- wifi(any) Use proxy= off, access point= Wifi. its working for me

  • You can not watch Youtube Videos throught WiFi. You will have to suscribe to internet through your phone service provider. I know it sucks but that is the only way to watch Youtube videos on the LG KC901 Renoir. :(

  • I really want to buy this phone and I was wondering: Is the kinetic scrolling smooth even if you have lots of files or lots of contacts? because one of my friends has the lg viewty and I must say that the scrolling is really sluggish(excuse my english, I'm form romania)

  • Hi, Anybody can say that how i can watch youtube videos in my mobile, it does not work in my mobile

  • i find that the dolby switched on with my sony erricson headphones plugged into the 3.5mm adapter in the head phones that it comes with is quite good.could be louder though

  • Hi Peter Excuse my possible ignorance - I used google maps preinstalled on the phone - used it quite successfully a few times to navigate and track progress across town. Did your handset not come w it? Or are you thinking of a higher-end gps solution?

  • anybody can tell me if the bass on the phone is strong enough with dolby mobile on? thanks alot

  • I updated to v2.3.2 but it doesn't support touch navigation. my touch screen has no function while in maps... how can i roll back to previous version?

  • Can someone tell me whether I can update google maps. When I tried downloading google maps.... it says that my phone does not support google maps... that's bulll 'cause i already have the previous version preinstalled.

  • goto MENU (bottom right hand icon) then goto the third icon from top on your right side. then goto google -> Maps Google maps should load up and give your lacation. if not try resetting google maps MENU -> HELP -> Reset Google Maps

  • Why is it that there was no shortcut to music via handsfree... I cannot forward to next song using handsfree sets, I have to unlock the keypad again and again Dolby is good but why is it that there was no equalizer, I cannot customized the sound i want,just dolby is not enough for me. really im not contented.

  • I have just changed from sony ericsson w910i to LG kc910 renoir..and its great..the camera is very very good..sound is not so loud but of good quality..dolby is great..touch screen not very very sensitive but its great..Browsing is very good..Hmmmm..The xenon flash is very good..ITS NOT UNDERPOWERED as mentioned in the review..

  • Gordon, Hi, how did you manage to get your gps working? Did you downlaod maps if so which ones? And any other apps? Appreciate your help, Best Regards, Peter

  • i have got this model last month.everything is ok but i can't download skype to my phone.phone not support to skype or fring.

  • Hi, Zach. I'm sure your school is happy for you. Why don't you go and show off there ;). Here many people are not even native speakers, so speaking SOME english is already a good effort.

Is it a good phone?Is there any annoying problem in this phone? please reply.

  • go to m.youtube.com from fone browser don't use google bookmark in your fone.Then youtube works over wifi too.

  • It looks pretty cool, I heard that the camera was pretty dodgy though, Oh well. . .and i think i posted something from myspace. :S

  • It looks pretty cool, but you all need to get better grammar skills, honestly, you all suck at typing. Half of them don't make sense! By the way, I'm 16 and i write better than you people. Thats sad.

  • hey does anyone know if the virgin plan is good or not, because im so confused if i shoulld get this in virgin cap plan or get another phone altogether. -.- is this phone lag ? if it is then please tell me (: thanks .

  • Ok after 8 months of using this phone (and once having to take it into 3 to get it completely reset because the firmware was terrible and it wasn't letting me do Anything), can say: 1) Call quality is good 2) Amazing camera for daytime, flash is quite weak in low light 3) Media play 5/10 - it has to "load" all your tracks each time you play it - the more songs you've got, the longer the wait whilst it loads. Dolby makes a difference to sound, but volume tops out quite low. Movie player ok but there's lip sync issues 4)Battery life pretty good 5) WiFi handy 6) Touchscreen can be a delight sometimes, and then sometimes really tempermental and refusing to acknowledge your key taps...Texting can be a bit of a nightmare if you don't focus 100% on the screen, for punctuation etc you get pop-up boxes that really require the use of the stylus to get it right first time, and when you're in a rush, or walking, or bouncing in a bus or train and trying to hit the right keys, well forget it. 7) Browser pretty irritating, download operamini as soon as you can 8) GPS quite fun and proved itself quite useful a few times

  • does this phone offer kinnetic scrolling???

  • bale az c905 behtare. yes it's much more better than se c905

  • I am an se user but im interested in renoir and want to buy it. IS its camera reliable ?I mean can it compete with c905 in terms of clarity/ how about battery life and quickness of the phone?

  • Yes it does have a cover over camera lens!

  • how to perform hard reset on lg kc910?

  • no

  • does this phone have a cover over the camera lense????

  • the lg kc910i inter memory is 1gb but kc910 only300mb

  • hi gayan! yah! it's true that LG mobile got only few customers especially in Asia (excluding SKorea & Japan). But i do believe that innovation in LG phones are really amazing. Other people got stick on the brand that they used since before, that's one of the reasons why there are lots of customers in Nokia and Sony Ericsson. As I remember, Samsung before wasn't a competitive brand of phones here in the Philippines, but as they improved their phones and lots of customers discovered its satisfying features, they guaranteed to get this brand as one of the competiive brands. Likewise in LG, it is still starting to get a big BOOM! In Europe and other Western Countries do really appreciate LG's product as compare to the other brands. It's features are really amazing. If u know how to experiment in LG mobiles, i guess u've gonna love it. Just don't stick with other people's opinion, try to buy one of it. It doesn't really matter if there are only few people who are using LG, the important is the quality, economy, features and the facts about it.

  • i was going to buy lg viewty or the renoir but later found out that lg products are very low on customer satisfaction , even in here i dont find many ppl helpful in lg pages which means lg users are a holes lol , im better off getting my self the nokia 5800 xpress music , this is why nokia have always been promising . emailed the lg asking few questions its been weeks never got a single reply from em . too bad .

  • It says right there fm radio.... a quick google search confirms

  • I have the same problem. I checked out the LG KP500 Cookie which had had preloaded Thai language and keyboard - but then I wanted Wi-Fi and I was surprised that the KP910 Renoir didn't. I would also appreciate an answer.

  • hey i want to now how is the battery stamina. i'm using nokia n73 and i have to charge it every day. please answer thanks

  • No it does not offer free internet, but using this phone u can energise yourself (like in Star Trek) to the mental institution u hav escapped from.

  • I just bought for a week, maybe it's little bit late for buying this phone. Some times its hanged like somebody said, but its back to normal when I took off and put it back the battery. Generally I feel satisfied for the whole specification and its function, but unfortunetly, Sony Erricson has a better sound than this found, I expected it could be louder.... but The Camera sure its awesome!! Thanks

  • I have had my phone for over 6 months now, and I love it! I've had every sort of mobile phone you can imagine over the years, from Nokia to Motorola to Sony Ericcson and I have to say this LG is the BEST! My other half has the previous LG (KU990 I think) model and I wasn't very happy with using that at all, but then the Renoir came out, and despite the crappy name, I took the plunge. I haven't looked back. My whole mobile phone experience has changed for the better and even the way I use my phone has improved. I've even been able to use it when I've had long acrylic finger nails without any problems. Now that I don't have long acrylic nails, I find I can use my fingers to operate the LG very easily and don't have the sensitivity issues that I've noticed when fiddling with other touch models. The interface is very self explanatory and simple to use. If you want to use the camera, just open the lens cover and shoot away. The video camera is just awesome and the longest continuous video I shot was still over 40 minutes. The only thing I would have to gripe about (it's a struggle to find something wrong with this great little unit though) is that the volume isn't very loud on hands free or for listening to music without headphones. I told you it was hard to find something I didn't like. I have been watching the iPhone slowly improve and although the iPhone interface would have to be the smoothest and most fluid, the features of the Renoir and the camera just craps all over the iPhone - sorry I don't mean to offend any iPhone users out there. I really wanted to like the iPhone, and I really wanted to get one and nearly did, but the specifications still just don't measure up to the Renoir. So there you have it. Shame about the name, who calls a phone a Renoir?? But it's a great phone and would have to be the BEST phone I have ever owned. Good luck to all, and keep up the great work gsmarena, I still rely on you guys and gals to keep me up to date with what is going on out there ;) Cheers, Kitty in Australia :)

  • Does this phone have free internettt ? :)

  • DUDES and CHICKS!! something happened to my renoir earlier today..while i was browsing through the 'software menu' (3845#*910#) my phone suddenly hanged..so i took out the batt..put it back in n tried to on the phone back..but then the phone can't be switched on again T_T wth HAPPENED!!! how to fix it...?

Use the red button (hang up) to exit test.

  • how did you alter the ring tone volume on the phone on max setting i have problems hearing it

  • ha, the iphone is a piece of junk, moreover the iphone does not stand a chance against my renoir save all the apps; the iphone still does not have a flash, the 3GS only has a 3.x MP camera; all touch screen phones are hard to use just like the iphones . . . the screen can only be so big before the whole idea is inconvienent

  • it is a good telephone, with enough applications and good design, but it has two problems. One of the problems is that ringtone almost is not listened to, that is solutionable altering ringtone in the computer. The other problem if he is more serious. Telephones LG are not compatible with iSync in the Apple computers, I understand that by an own protocol of LG. If you have a Mac you will have difficulties to enjoy the telephone.

  • I downloaded some themes and now how can I instal them to my phone?

  • hi I'm using the Renoir for 2 days counting yesterday I say dat the only bad bout d fone is indeed d unresponsive touch screen the 8 mp camera is excellent but zooming it to the max output is horrible..the stylus should've been attached too and themes are scarce u cannot find any on the web...but my rate for style is 10 it stands out I got dis for a bargain so I say dis one is a great phone people who made commnts here earlier are not informative about their opinion likewise I think they didn't even used it or owned it at all...an opinion is supposedly have a positive and negative feed...so yeah definitely a money's worth and uhm also its d cheapest 8 mp touch screen phone ive ever seen..

  • bin usin lg renoir 4 som tym now,nt dat bad but keeps freezing,gets easily scratched,the metallic part is wearing off,weak battery,is dis wat i get 4 wastin so much money

  • I owned this mobile for 2 weeks, & i'am not impressed at all, touch screen is unresponsive, slow & Frustating, battery is not good, camera is rubbish for a 8 mega pixel, more pixels does'nt mean better pictures. i've sold my Lg Renoir, & Bought the iphone, iphone is way better than This, believe me.

  • hi, go to mygreatphone.com for firmware change procedures and themes

  • it can take photos and shoot videos using secondary camera

  • Where can i find some games for this phone?

Any correct(rght info about it greatly appreciated.) thanks [email protected]

  • Has anyone ever seen the quad-band version of this phone? I've searched every where and can only find the tri-band version. People have been advertising that it's quad-band, but eventually find out the box says tri-band on it. thanks... bjl

  • LG Renior for sale in lahore.only set and charger came from abroad price 20000 with 8gb card contact 03218437331

  • Just got this phone, it is pretty good exept the internet is sort of slow. but everything thing else is is good. the case that it comes with is sort of tight so it opens your lense sometimes and your lends gets scratched. So apart form everythings else it is pretty good. i just hope that the speakers on this phone is louder. but is comes with pretty good stuff

  • hey jus wanna ask, hmm the camera in front can use for taking pics? I m still decding on which phone to buy samsung f480 or lg renoir.

  • Been using this handset for around a year. is not too bad, just a few major issues; its a little bit slow, the touch isn't as responsive as id like it to be, it is by far the QUIETEST handset on the planet, even after following a procedure to increase the volume. The worst thing is i filmed my band during a prac with my Renoir and when i went to play the footage back, it destroyed my speaker and needed to be sent back to service. What a joke!! if you film something that is loud, it seems the dumb-ass trys to play it back at full volume, intern, self-destructing!! I miss my Nokia :( :( oh ps.. since buying this handset a bit less than a year ago, battery life is now terrible. im now roughly getting 2 days if im not using apps. if im using audio player, wifi or Bluetooth, half that.

  • can sm1 tell me how can i change firmwire in this set? the whole procedure?

  • The battery life says its only 3 hours.. for some one who has this phone, how good is the battery life with camera usage and mp3? casual use. The battery life is a let down.. and also would you get 5800 xpressmusic or LG Renoir?

  • m in bangladesh. how can i watch youtube video in kc910? i cant unable it to use it for youtube.

  • Visit mygreatphone.com, there iis a tut there on how to change themes.

  • Do u have to install new firmware to install themes.If not where can i download themes

  • This model has only 100mb,but there is LG KC910i which has 1GB internal memory.

  • lg kc910!!!its a total waste of money!!!there is no available theme download!!!can play limited videos!!!crap!!....

  • u've said that there is only 100mb internal mermory but most other websites have it as 1gb internal mermory. Do you know whether its different or if either websites are wrong?

  • Any other software can do sms backup? pls... ^^

  • how does it work as internet modem? what is its edge class? really need to know... pls help..

  • Its not window os.

  • G'day, Does the Renoir have a volume balance control? Thanks in advance.

  • Try looking at your pic's through 'my stuff' it's really quick to load and you can still see images in thumb nail form.

  • The sound quality is fantastic, very clear.

  • I've had this hanset for a while now, and I must say it is an un utter pleasure to use. I work within a phone dealership and this is one of the best handsets out there, it's just a shame that no one really gives it a chance. It has an amazing camera and video quality is second to non. It's easy to use and is one of the only handsets that hasn't crashed.

  • how is it's sound quality?

  • Is this a windows mobile phone?

  • checkout virgin mobiles online deals they have it for 29 a month for 24 months online only!

  • May i ask, does renoir has korean language?

  • Hey! How could you get it for $29 per month. It was best deal man. If you could tell me, I am thank you. I am also want one of this too.

  • Cant deny that this is a real good camera phone with 8mp...but it is so slow...need secs even minutes to load pictures, music or videos...never experienced that on nokia or SE phone...kinda weird

  • G'day, Does the Renoir have a volume balance control? Thanks in advance.

  • Hi - Do you know if there is Hebrew language, or if there is firmware with Hebrew?

  • Heyy guyss, I'm 13 years old and I'm gonna get one of these on a $29 a month plan and i was wondering if you can get msn and myspace and stuff on them? please reply.

  • Can anyone tell me how what i do here? I first got my phone and recieved 3 sms with my browser settings and when i click install i get a notice saying: application has too many settings, delete some items

  • G'day, Does the Renoir have a volume balance control? Thanks in advance.

  • I like this phone,I think its Better than my Nokia 5800, which i also Own. Internet Browsing is Fast, Camera/Video quality is Good, Built Quality is also Good. This is what the LG Viewty Should have been. If you own a LG Viewty you'll love this one.

  • please,where can i find themes for lg renoir,that are unziped?PLEASE

  • can we use this fone as modem?

  • this phone can`t support H 263/H 264 vedio ?

  • @prodigal bro.. im home!! ahehe i can flash my renoir now!! so are the latest regarding to renoir? thanks !! ^^,

  • it is illegal to sell a phone that u can turn off the shutter sound but you may be able to hack it

  • I have this phone and I`m really really satisfied.

  • Hey guys jusy wondering a few things, can i install or use msn on the phone, what is firmware, does it have motion sensor games and also where would i find some good games for it.

  • try "WeTravel" navigation system it's an offline navigator but still under development

  • @Dizay Yes there are firmware updates for the renoir you can find them at and the sound can be made louder within the secret menu of the phone and some peoples speakers have blown but mine hasnt, i believe its to do with people playing something too loud for extended periods of time, use the link i have posted above to find out all the information you need

  • Hey im planing on buying the ren0ir,is it true that there are firmware updates for it and how difficult is it to install them if they exist. Also is the s0und very sound 0n ths ph0ne and is it true thet s0me speakers blow out

  • This is quite simply one of the best phones we've seen in ages. Its camera tops the i8510, though it isn't quite up to what you'd get from a 8-megapixel dedicated digicam and is not itself a reason to buy. But the range of additional features is excellent, and very importantly, overall user ergonomics are excellent. LG just nosed in front in a very competitive race.

  • how do you delete all that stuff saved on your phone like default sound files?

  • Hi people Does renoir support the fring software? Advise please.

  • Hey guys! I read at another page that this phone has not simple calls but only video calls. Is it true?

  • very bad for your brain:))) how can you put the phone in the microwave? its logical that LG doesnt repair it.

  • the phone speed ....very slow >_< so bad... any 1 can send me the software for pc suite ?

  • 1 Bad thing about this phone ... its GPS runs on Google which requires you to be on a wifi or 3g It dosent run on Garmin or any other GPS except AmazeGPS (which is pretty crappy) Anyone who can hack it, it would be a pleasure for me to learn from u ... =)

  • There is only one problem with this phone, i accidenntly went diving in a pool with the phone in my pocket and now there is no screen display!! can any one help so i can touch the screen again? i put it in the microwave to dry it out and now the screen has funny colours and the store i bought it from wont return it!! very bad for LG

  • Is the Songs in MP3 format ? or even u can try to locate all the previous songs which already exist when u bought the phone... and add the new songs into it ... ?

  • it only has receiver so you can not start your own radiostation from the phone. you can tune in to your favourite stations though. it even has rds

  • I personally think LG KC910 Renoir is better for you. LG Cookie is good and cheap, but it does not have 3g and wifi. The connection to the internet is very slow. If you have the money, LG Renoir is surely it.

  • hmmmm guys pls help!!! should i buy this phone or not??? im having second thoughts right now... coz of what i've read (negative opinions) - hmmm some says its vid quality is not so good, some says the sound is not so loud, others says the memory card has defect... all those gives me 2nd thoughts. i really need a nice phone i need your opinions should i or should not i buy it??? thanks xoxo

  • how do you turn off shutter sound and the video recording sound? and can you turn off that red light when taking pictures?

  • Can anyone help me with my music files? I have placed a large amount of music files on an external memory card and the phone does not seem to recognise the individual albums. The music is all jumbled up together. Some music is grouped into genre but I don't know where the rest is because the albums just don't work. It's so frustrating :-(

  • very good phone in all specifications, but, I�m a little disappointed with the sounds loud, and I Think big with dolby but turned out to be something simple

  • Just a quick question guys and gals as i am not very good with mobiles... whats a better phone? lg cookie or lg renoir? and also to use you tube and so on do i need to buy anything extra or does it all work straight from the phone? thanks for your time :D

  • thx for the help i bought the phone but i got a problem the screen froze on please wait... i tried takin the bat out but when i turn back on it still say please wait. plz help

  • i have this phon for some time. camera is great, but fails in darker places. bad thing is that is dummy phone. butr camera is great and thats all to it.

  • This is definately the iPhone killer...

  • thx buddy, but i got another question. can you use the video call camera to take pictures? and where can you get more themes for the phone?

  • it costs about 25 to 30k maybe.

  • Just got it today,it is really amaizing,few friends got iPhone but i can say this phone is 3 times better, the touch screen is great,i hardly miss something with my fingers plus there is a pen,cammera is great even tought vide isnt that good,my other phone nokia navigator records better quality videos....but all the things u need with a phone are just great and it is really simple to use...it supports 25-6 languages,there is 22 that i know and 3 that im not sure what they are,those funny letters im sure one of them is chinese :)

  • hey guys its a great fone. I had it for 4 months now and i love it.The only thing is the sounds not so loud and the battery is not so long. you can take pix with the second cam and you just have to move it horizontally it will automatically change. You can also watch you tube thru wifi you can do anything you normally do in the net. but can i ask if we there's available accessories for this fone?

  • Ray, don't worry it supports traditonal and simplified Chinese. cheers!

  • does this have 3.5mm jack or any headphone jack

  • is the battery life of the KC910 nice? i'm having second thoughts about buying this phone because of that. but the specs. are simply great. i wish the battery's phone doesnt get drained easily.

  • come on, could someone at least tell me what the supported languages are coz im getting it on monday but i dont know if it supports chinese. could someone plz check their phone if chinese is supported plz. thx in advance

  • there's 1 bad thing, its battery life is kinda short n doesnt last long on standby

  • Renoir fans... phonearena.com is killing our baby..everything in their review says Renoir is a looser. We can't let this mockery continue. I love this phone...

  • 14a beta firmware from kc910i is already available, and john have you tried krams windows theme? it looks good

  • hi prodigal.. I think its just the command line problem. I am hoping they'll fix it.

  • hey guyz.. here's the link on how to watch youtube using WI-FI. I tried it and it works perfect.. www.mygreatphone.com/forum/lg-renoir/13108-solvi­ng-youtube-problem.html

  • hi got to mygreatphone.com/forums/ there you will find how to stream videos using wifi

  • hei guys... im planning to get one. but when i read all the opinions and suggestions in this kind of phone... im having second thought if i will buy this phone or i will try to look for other phone... but based on the sepcs of this phone i easily fell in love with it... but the only problem i saw was the span of the battery... why is that so?... i think that was the only problem? i guess? is that true?

  • i cant use the wifi to watch youtube, y is tat so?

  • I have the same problem, even the card is not working in my laptop, so I just puchase a new card.

  • er...how do we play fullscreen games...? there are some games i got tht asked me to rotate my phone horizontally...but..how do u do tht?

  • sorry about this guys but i got another question 9. what are the supported languages? plz reply to all my questions asap, thanks in advance

  • hi, what to download there? particular file i mean

  • Hi John, its not me who modifies the firmware, let us just wait for it in the forums hope G.lewarne will cosider that.

  • TO all that search for good and free stand alone GPS software here it is:http://we-travel.co.cc/joomla/ It works with Renoir (U also have youtube instalation movie) and I'm driving with it for 2 months allready. Maps aren't 100% finished and some streets are still missing but for the first Java free GPS navigation software with voice navigation and all other stuffs that don't require WiFi or any GSM connection it's GREAT!!! Just to let U know :) cause I've been waiting a long time for navigation for Renoir cause it was only thing that he was missing, now I can say that this is perfect phone :)

  • I had same problem with card, it was new and it was allready formated for use but only after I've formated it in Renoir the problem vanished. Hope this helps.

  • Please Help!!!I have problem with saving pictures to microSD on Renoir. even though i set it up as save on external memory it won't. And is it just me whos having problem with watching youtube on Wi-Fi? mine the player pops up and disappears Please Help!

  • Prodigal.. Is there any way to fix the bug of the firmware v13e? For the maker of the firmware..please fix this bug "When exiting the camera mode by using the red button, the screen will say "Add Contact" instead of "Please Close The Lens" for me its big deal..its quite annoying. It would be perfect if this will be fixed... tnx...

  • If you are not in hurry better wait and buy the GC 900 Viewty... it's better and I guess it shouldn't be much more expensive. It looks prettier as well.

  • i agree with you

  • iPhone is NO match for Renoir! iPhone's only ace is touchscreen rapidity and a fluidity not that different from Renoir.But if you compare the features.... Apple lovers >(

  • If iphone Sucks then why is it the Best Selling Touch screen Phone, & you can record video witha app Software.

  • The biggest and ugliest letdown for this great phone is its loudspeaker. Just look up the web about its loudspeaker and you will get the answer. most people either cant hear any ringtone or they blew their loud speaker by trying to play enhanced ringtones. Many of you might think loudspeaker is not so important but think again. Additionally its very sad that gsmarena did not even comment on the loudspeaker, and so let us down.

  • iphone sucks! u can record a video. stupid phone!

  • No, im dumb, just sharing what ive learned from other sites, credits to them.

  • i just bought this phone today and its okay, not the best phone but not the worst. if anyone out there want touch screen, iphone is the one u should get.

  • guys guys... every time we visit here at gsmarena renoir.. lets vote triple 10 for it!!! ^^ be proud of our renoir!!! thanks

  • ei bro.. were did you download opera mini for LG ? ^^txt me ^^

  • prodigal.. ur a genius huh? ahehe how did you know those engineered key? ^^ what more can we do with our RENOIR ^^ speaker loudness? can we adjust it? i really want to update my firmware.. maybe after board exam ill do it ^^

  • Got to settings/ phone settings/memory manager/ handset reserved memory.. It shows there that you can store up to 1000 sms! Or dial 3845#*910# then go to aging test,sms aging.. You can force your inbox there to have 1000sms.

  • hi prodigal.. pls tell me if how much sms can save in ur renoir.. i think its not defend on the fone memory.. bec i have a friend and he got LH viewty and its only 300 sms.. that worse.. w8ing ur reply.. ty in advance

  • I bought it for 25500 pesos without memory card in Greenhills a week ago.

  • im sorry, i keep on deleting my messages. But i think it depends on the phone's common memory. Or can you give me two days? Or try to dial this 3845#*910# to enter engineering menu. Explore there.

  • LG kc910 is the best phone 4ever. i have this phone and is very beautiful and good work

  • I really like this phone.. but I wanna know the disadvantages and advantages, the negative side and the positive side of this phone. please tell me. thank you.

  • dude try this good hack, internet for free

  • I have KC910i - I cannot get Google maps to work correctly with the gps, it very rarely finds your position. Other gps apps like amAze, Mobile Gmaps and Sideralis work fine with the phones gps. Has anyone got google maps to work on this phone, I'd love to have it working.

  • i see this in SM city, in cebu ^_^.. its 27k only.. cool ha.. quick ask!! how many sms u can save?!?!?

  • Just type in "lg renoir" then begin search, all items in relation with renoir will appear.

  • ok thanks.. ill just text you... bro.. i cant find silicon case at ebay.. all from other country ^^

  • of course you can use card reader. I have a scratch note application and UCWEB for web browsing for free and all widgets including in the custom firmware. hehehe. Yes i have my 3.5mm jack adapter and you can check ebay for silicon casing and other renoir stuffs.

  • got another question for you ^^ got your adapter? for 3.5mm headset? where can i buy one? and silicon or crystal case cover for renoir?

  • can i use card reader? to put those downloaded apps? give me list of some apps or games that you enjoyed and are useful

  • im from tarlac... but im doing my review for the board exam at espana manila... i really want my renoir to be flash

  • Yap, especially the response.. If you can only visit here i will do it for you, and i can change theme to look like iphone. Where are you from ?

  • Connect your phone to pc then, touch mass storage in your phone, navigate where you wanna place your downloaded applications and place there, then disconnect phone. Go to memory card using your phone, touch the applications u copied from pc. Application extension normally ends with .jar

  • whoow! that impressed me! ^^ (did really observed those improvements?) if only i can visit you there at laguna... i want my phone to be flash... grrr....

  • if you have read the threads you should know what are the improvements,but anyways here they are. v13d highlights: -Supports EU and eastern european languages. Limited russian support. NO CHINESE -various theme modifications. 100% compatible with renoir-NextGen from dkk314 -Colour coded Java buttons -Removed java nag screens -5 full screen java apps, Google Maps, G-Maps, Opera Mini (updated), EBuddy (updated) and Amaze GPS (updated) -5 extra widgets compared to standard firmware: Renoir Portal, Direct Java access, Amaze GPS,Google News, Operator WAP page -Unique widget icons -Renoir Portal used as the google widget link. this gives you 1 click access to facebook, MGP, myspace, bebo and LG mobile, as well as a google search. -Improved media browser -Improved image and video performance -PXO modifications for speed and response -MGP themed startup & sound -Inclusion of all artwork contributions to date -Flex files for EU, Asian, Australian and misc providers -Improvement of accelerometer response -Reduction of power consumptoin compared to 11x releases -Auto rotate of video playback -Play by album working in "Music" whats best is, fast UI response.

  • ahh.. thats the firmware you are using?? ok ba siya as in?? whats new with that firmware? complited eh.. i cant understand... im only familiar with s60 ^^, former nokia user kasi...

  • here is the link

  • i can flash yours but i,m from laguna..

  • ei bro... i think flashing is too complicated ^^ can you flash mine? ahahaha ^^ cge na bro... ^^ were do you reside in manila?

  • where will i go at mygreatphone? ahehe.. cant find something about renoir... how to install apps ? thanks

  • Visit mobile9.com, my renoir's firmware is a custom one, more faster than official firmware. Read forums from mygreatphone.com and you will know how to update yours.

  • Thanks for comment on Renoir - very helpful and I used to a Psion in 2002 which started Symbian S/W so love that s/w - will now take a look at 5800 - ta

  • ahh it should be stand alone? i set it to assisted.. hmmm were can i find apps? games? etc? and what was your phones firmware now? can we update it? thanks...

  • Free i think, but it will take time to load maps, better connect thru wifi then try it. Gps setting should be standalone. .Cheers

  • Open video recorder then touch settings, duration, normal. And touch others tab, then memory, touch external if you have sd card. Video recording duration is somewhat relative to the memory left on your phone, so the less memory you have, the less time you can shoot video.

  • google map? i tried it once... but it is not free right? ^^, what settings do you use when using ur GPS? java? wait.. how can i install those? using lg pc suite? thanksss

  • How do you change the length of the video recording time.....i can only get about 20 seconds at the moment?

  • you can install applications as long as those applications are java-base ones. Have you tried google maps? It is cool

  • @everyone renoir users ^^ so cant we install any applications with our renoir? garmin XT ? and other useful stuff? hmm,,, thanks just enjoy our renoir guys.. ^^,

  • the fons features is one of the best in the latest fon...i could say cuz i have one...the cons with this fon is that the battery life is nt that sumthing to be proud of...i was comparing the fon with nokia 5800 express music ang for me they are close enough when it cums with features...the advantage of 5800 is that it has a very long battery life(8hrs talking time ang 35hrs for playing music) but it lacks the camera having 3.5mp. the renoir on the other hand lack battery power(3hrs talktime)you need to charge everyday and 4 a busy person like me it a big hassle.one tip is to turn off the vibration and sound when pressing the screen to save energy.you could also lessen the brightness of the lcd while your at it.i bought the fon because of the camera feature and that is the main dish with this fon(8mp plus all the features of recent digital cameras). Lg's downfall is that they forgot to focus on the battery of the fone...it could have been the best fon if it had equald 5800. another badside of the fone is that its a fon that once you own it after a month or so the owner will alredy be bored with it...the fon lack software upgrades and even the most basics like themes and outlay design of the program could not be change or improve...

  • fyi. . It can be flashed now! Visit mygreatphone.com.

  • Sorry didnt check when i bought mine, but those memory usage, those are default files in the phone, like ringtones, wallpapers etc. So you dont need to worry about it. . If you already have a memory card, set your primary storage in external memory. 09283803015

  • Great phone upgraded from Viewty Camera & Video are awesome Drawback - cant flash the theme as Viewty :( - OMG Viewty Smart really smart!!!

  • ei bro ^^, ok ok.. how about the phone memory? how much is already eaten with your phone? im talking about when you purchased a renoir.. (ilan ung kaagad na ginagamit na phone memory?) thnx.. txt me kabayan 09167031679

  • for the camera whic one is best pixon ot LG reonir

  • tooooooooooo niceeeeeeeee

  • Does anyone know if the Renior from o2 UK online is the KC910 or KC910i? Thanks

  • Arlo, What exactly happened before the speaker breaks?did you max the sound output always or simply playin music under normal condition?

  • hey guyz, Im planning to buy this phone it really looks good and the features are incredible...I just wanna know the sound output w/o the headphone? Is it loud enough to play music or watch movie? answer pls.....

  • Let me try to answer, sound quality of stock headset is good, and also you can replace it with your favorite headset with a 3.5mm standard jack. Then, alm0st all java applications are working but you have to choose screen resolution to fit renoir's.. Stylus is not embedded, it is dongle type. . And choosing from renoir to pixon? Get renoir! Pix0n has no wifi..

  • i have this phone. it's really great and worth it! but be careful with it's speakers, it easily breaks (about a month or two). too bad i can no more appreciate the Dolby feature that much.. :(

  • hi all.. how many sms you can save?? like inbox or all in one?? i heard that viewty its only 300 all messages can save.. tnx ^_^

  • hi shady.. can i ask how many you can save messages in your phone? wait your reply..

  • hi shady.. can i ask how many you can save messages in your phone? wait your reply..

  • Hi all! Can i know whether the quality of sound output from the supplied earpiece/own earpiece is good? N is the stylus inserted into the phone or hanging onto it like a keychain? Can you install java software/games onto it too? N lastly, i'm deciding between samsung pixon & lg kc910, which is better? Thx alot to you all in advance:)))

  • from phils also, averaging from 1.5 to 2 days i think.

  • Tonga yes this support chinese fonts. I got this is Hong Kong. It also encodes Japanese fonts, amazing.

  • Speaker is too weak,can't hear the ring tone of incoming call without vibration. Can anybody tell me how is the touchpad calibration feature? Anyway,LG KC 910 Renoir make me happy until now.

  • i think so cuz den how can it have fm radio without a tranmitter duh

  • Can someone tell me where I can find the American version? the one with the 850/1900 UMTS bands for 3G in North America....cause I cannot find it anywhere. I can find the tri-band and quad-band versions, along with the Europe/Asia 3G version....but i cannot find the North American 3G version of the phone, and it makes me wonder if theyve even made it? Or is it coming later on in the year?

  • yes

  • yes it does great phone just got it and well pleased even got it unlocked straight away

  • Does this phone have FM transmitter?

  • hey i wonder does this phone support chinese fonts? i mean does it reads chinese?

  • its google maps

  • I got the Renoir yesterday but can not find how to use the GPS!! Can anyone help me out please?

  • Hi colin, Im using normal mode to cam video. my external memory still left 80% useage. Regards

  • That is suppose to happen when u take stuff in slow mo. Light is darken to capture stuff in slow mo. Just like sports mode when takin a photo where light is also darken when sports mode is on.

  • video cam will have slow detect while using external memory to save the video. bought it 3 mths ago and it give me 4 hangs that I need to take out the battery and put it back to restart!

  • Had this phone for 5 months. Handsfree loudspeaker is very poor and inaudable. The bluetooth keeps dropping handsfree device which i bought to compensate (parrot) for an on the go talker this is not the phone for you. Internet browsing is good with good reception but suffers more than other phones SE's Nokia's when signal is weak. Camera is very good. Overall, wish I'd gone for N96 or waited for N97.

  • I just bought this phone today and have been having a good play around with it for a few hours and when I went in today I was looking for a phone easy to use not to high tech and flashy nothing too confusing. For someone who just wants a a decent phone with up to date technology for a decent budget this phone is absolutely fantastic. Camera Quality is amazing considering it is a MOBILE PHONE!! Touch screen is easy to use havent had any problems when I tap on a number it does come up the same doesnt start clicking something else. I will give this phone an overall 10/10. A phone that is Easy to use, Easy to understand and Im very happy with my purchase. I think alot of people expect a little too much when it comes to technology I mean I picked this over the Samsung Omnia only because Windows takes sometime to get used to..To much playing around with. So when people state their opinions dont go to the point where you make the phone sound like it was made by cavemen. =]

  • I jus had a feel of this Renoir todae in Singapore... It was utterly sucky...and the bad points are as follows: 1) Poor focus at high zoom factor (lines can be seen) 2) very laggy screen 3) Dragging the widgets is fast...BUT u nid to apply tonnes of strength!!!...(its a PRESSS fone, mind u!) 4) white balance is overly done..the entire pic is so diff from the origanal landscape that u see... othwrwise, a perfect fone!

  • hiii i just bought this phone can i chatting using this phone? like in msn or yahoo messenger or skype and to use the top camera, every time i have toopen the back lense and find for setting? Its abit difficult Is it posible for me to download program and games for this Renoir? Because there only 2 games from LG for this phones Please help me. thaknks alot.

  • whatta camera clarity yaar and sound is tooooo buy itgood

  • Does anyone know when a driver on Goosynch will be available for this phone? I use Google Calendar and will probably opt for the more expensive Samsung i900 since it's currently supported by Goosynch. I like the idea of being able to synch my phone calendar when within wireless range.

  • Speaker is weak, and putting the volume into maximum will destroy the speaker, I had mine, destroyed within 40 days only

  • I bought this phone by having a contract with Optus Australia, and I would say this handphone is great! Especially for multimedia (excellent photo quality, clear video recording, great quality sound of music). The design is very good. Not too big, but you can still use ur finger to tap on. But dont use QWERTY keyboard if you have big finger, it is very difficult. This is worth the price, and the feature.

  • im looking for a hand phone with Secondary VGA videocall camera , except KC910 , is there any better one?

  • is LG KC910 good? im thinking of buying it ... anyone have any idea?

  • ****PLEASE HELP**** COULD SOMEONE please please record in SLOW MOTION and tell me whether the LIGHTING changes when you press record??? WHY does this happen? Why does it go so dark and how do i fix it??

  • This phone is horrible! i wish i went for Samsung Pixon. It just feels so cheap!

  • Samsung PIXON M8800 much better.....

  • hey, i read your comment already.. search through the they wrote inside tt you cant watch youtube through the Wi-Fi but there is another way to watch it using your phone.. check it out yea? cheers!

  • ****PLEASE HELP**** COULD SOMEONE please please record in SLOW MOTION and tell me whether the LIGHTING changes when you press record??? WHY does this happen? Why does it go so dark and how do i fix it??

  • is this phone have korean language? if not, is there any firmware with korean?

  • pro: touchscreen fast and responsive, fast and easy message editing ( it's a really pleasure). intuitive software. Good and fast 8mpx camera with concrete and efficent setting and effects. Good video recording in Divx. Good audio in conversation. Light weight and ergonomic case. Zoom on gallery is fast and responsive. contro: no good web surfing, wifi limitated, no personalizations for theme (only two are possible). bad audio on conversation when using speakers. on a max volume level you notice distorsion. Only nice screen resolution, not so brilliant. payed 529 euro in italy. vote: 8+

  • themes are available on mygreatphone.com but u have to use file explorer to modify theme.

  • how can i increase the length of time for the message tone? my renoir message tone only play 8 seconds of 30 seconds mp3..why is that?

  • yes it does have the mark/unmark feature in SMS

  • Does it have Mark/Unmark feature in SMS?

  • How did you get fring to work on Renoir? Thanks!

  • renoir used a fixed type of user interface,,, so you can't change its appearance,,,

  • is this phone is good?

  • Can i have real player on this phone? Do i have to install it from somewhere? Kindly reply asap, thank u

  • how many hour striht working music

  • i dont have n95, but have a Renoir and my experience so far is a mix-bag. touch-screen is erratic, especially on the web page, still havent figured out the navigation... OS is a bit sluggish.... and if you like chatting, if you run an IM app (ebuddy, yamee, or fring) in the back-ground, the phone won't give you a message alert. the message alert works only when you're chatting not when the phone is at the home-screen (stand-by mode). battery is not great either. am thinking of trading in my Renoir...

  • جهاز حلو من ال جى

  • I would...

  • hey.thanks a lot:)))))

  • does anyone know where can i download for free themes for lg renoir?tnx

  • Anyone who says that this phone is bad is simply lying! Call quality is great,camera works great, both pictures and video, software is good, it looks great, feels great. Compared to the other phones with similar performances, it has about 1/3 lower price, and great price/performances ratio. So, thumbs up, and after using this phone for some time, i can only recomend it wholeheartly!

  • use mmail application to read Japanese mail. However, input is impposible. Also opera mini also works in this phone.

  • Is it worth it to swap my Nokia N95 8G to LG Renoir? Your insights will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Had Mine now for 6 months. Have noticed a few things latley. The camera lens is hard to be cleaned and gets a glare through it no matter what the surrounding light is. Touch Screen has been great. No lag or anything. Wifi and web browsing is fast and smooth with great download speeds. Browsing through photo's makes the iphone look like crap. Sure u can't pinch but in the end who cares. The ringtone could be a little louder and the dolby does jack S*&T. Capable video playback is awsome. Its good to be able to play so many formats. All in all its the longest i've hung onto the same phone. I'm impressed and haven't seen anything worth swapping for yet.

  • 1. I've installed Opera Mini and can't figure out how to save web pages for off line reading. 2. How can I load HTML files on the phone using Opera Mini since I don't want to use the file viewer? By the way. The camera is great. Sadly the pics are stored in jpg format only. I'm not using the digital zoom. Real snapshots are out of the question. I haven't used the phone feature yet.

  • Does it have real player?

  • well so far all seems to be workin fine.dont have any problems with low ring tone sound,cam. is fantastic,wifi works fine,music player with dolbe switched on does the trick and i dont seem to have any probs with it being slow.could be faster but for me it works fine.i guess i got lucky and bought a good one.the only thing that bums me is he phones music capacity.i have an 8gb card and all is good until i load more than 4gb of music.i know its a lot of music and shouldnt complain but any songs loaded on the card over 4gb appear on the card when i put it in the computer so i know theyre there but they dont appear on the phone.it seems that the phone cant recognise more than 4gb in the music player.if im wrong could someone please let me know cos ive got shit loads of songs that i would like to have on it.

  • Buying mobile phones or cars isn't business ! When you buy them , you should think this way : "MY MONEY HAS JUST ESCAPED !!!!!" and then enjoy them . :-))

  • Not recomemded, I have this phone, the speaker blew off already not working for 40 days only in my hand, DO NOT BUY !!!!...

  • As far as can be told the OS on the Renoir is a custom built OS for LG and a name has not really been given

  • There's no problem with WI-FI you just have to set up the correct Access Points and the Internet Profile under Connectivity and it works perfectly. I have no issues streaming Youtube videos directly from the built-in app or via Youtube mobile. You just have to use the correct settings for your network, I'm using my phone on ATT with T-Mobile settings (I have two SIM cards and switch them often) and have had no issues.

  • I bought the LG Renoir a couple of weeks ago, and when it comes to video and photos it is absolutely amazing, excelent pics and video for a camera phone, definitely one of the best out there. Music is OK, not great just average and it has some issues recognizing ID tags, minor but annoying. NOW, as a PHONE this thing totally sucks. I have no other words to better describe it... dropped calls, the quality of the sound is awful, "less bars in more places" should be it's motto. If you want a camera that also makes phone calls, buy this... on the other hand if you need a phone that can also take the occasional picture and video, then look somewhere else. Really....!

  • I'm buying this phone in singapore..Can this phone enable me to watch youtube or videos from other websites?..if not...wat should i do to watch it on th phone? thanks

  • does anybody have the quad-band version of this phone or is there no such thing? And if you have it can you tell me how you got it

  • Can any body tell me as per your experience, What exactly WI fi problems other than video streaming. How is telephone speed, especially handling photos, when compared to N 95 or similar. Has anybody used GPS without network support? What kind of map is used, and efficieny? Can map database be uptdated on the net? Thanks

  • What is the OS of this phone?

  • you know what is location? go check dictionary pls.. TIE7 is just my location.. maybe somewhere around my bulding there's somebody also surfing gsmarena? stop argueing, go check on dictionary what is Encoded Location.. newbie

  • then why EVERY time u write something that series number comes up and when I write something my own number comes every time? Give me a break man. U're a nooby. Try to climb down from the tree that u've been born and raised and try to do things that don't make u're hed so transparent.

  • is this ur 1st time in gsmarena? TIE7 is just the location.. This 'TIE7' can be other ppl, why must u be so sure its me? and why should i reply my own question? u think im so dumb? hey dont act like some genius kid..

  • Dear Haw try this link (Iam not sure that it will work)

  • Then why the heck did u post a comment that the phone ''is good,not that laggy'' then u post another(with a different name) that says the phone sucks,''it takes 30 to drag widgets''.Give me a break. And what do you mean by I don't know nothing but act like I know everything? Does it bothers u that I have the phone and works fine for me?That I am ''promoting it''? If I were u I wouldn't even posted something else.

  • Hell, I have 2 litle arrows on the top of the screen, does anyone knows what are they mean? Please help! :((

  • Hi there, Is this phone able to install the garmin and Skype? Is yes, please kindly give me the link so that i able to download it. thanks

  • fyi, i didnt said this phone is very good or not laggy.. pls read properly with ur specs.. i did try out the phone and it really disappoint me, not only by the start up of the phone but also it lags when u drag the widgets.. sad and disappointed.. ppl like u who want dont know anything yet u act like u know everything..

  • thank u man for awaring us from TIE7.

  • Using WiFi, I can log into the Youtube webpage, but once I click on certain a video, it just doesn't allow me to watch it, saying that is not an authorized Internet profile!!

  • No comment to this phone . But hor, heard from my friend that you buy LG phone in a high price then sell very low price woorrr. LOL!!!! ^^

  • I haven't had my Renoir for long so still getting to know it after using Nokia for several years. The Renoir sounded great and everything I wanted in a phone - most of all I wanted a great camera. I used it at a wedding last night but disappointed to find the flash doesn't have an "always on" mode. The auto flash mode didn;t cut in for semi-light situations so a lot of people photos silouetted. My only major gripe about the phone is the inability to have an "flash on" mode. :-) Oh yeah, and no emoticons except the one like I just typed in but I gues I can download them.

  • I can confirm everything Jordan said. It is also not true that the phone is very slow, unlike many people here comment. So, I also would recommend it to everyone who wants a nice touch phone with reasonable price tag.

  • i have 2 littel phones with 2 arrows on the top of the screen,i dont know what it is. can anyone advise please?

  • I have also downloaded skype and I can recieve and send messages, but i cant do a skype call but i think that is more to do with it being with orange and not the phone itself.

  • I have got this phone and hav no problems with lag at all in fact is very quick. But then I have the latest firmware.

  • hey people stay away from this phone its so bad not worth it at all the slowest phone ever!! It absolutely sucks dont buy it. i exchanged it 3days later!!!

  • Can you instal messenger,nimbuzz,fring or skype on this phone?Please need answers,want to get this phone.

  • There is a lot of diffrences between this model and i900 MONIA. and the most important thing is that i900 has Windows Mobile operating system while this model has not. This model is very poor in comparison with i900. Regards

  • I'm working in the sales of mobile phones. I think this mobile is very good in design and it is competitive to other brands like Nokia ( 5800) and Samsung( i900 OMINA) and Apple ( Iphone). But there are a lot of disadvantages of this Model which is that touchscreen is not successful idea in LG because it is very slow in responding to the touch clicks. I suggest another models working with touch screen such as HTC or iPhone. THanks Mahmoud

  • Nice mobile, clear & soft voice, wi-fi connectivity is good. MP3 & ring tone maximum volume is low. UI is bit slow. 100 mb internal memory is a disadvantage, should be at least min. 512 mb. Camera clarity is good - still & video both. Wide screen video @ 640x384 in superfine mode is impressive. Still shot in all modes (beauty, art, backlight compesation) are good.

  • hello, there are rumors saying you can not youtube video stream using wi-fi on this phone? is this ture? does this phone let you go on youtube and watch videos using WI-FI? and could you download themes for this phone? and in addition is the sound quality clear and loud? someone please let me know soon. thanks.

  • can we change the theme of the phone?

  • Everyone, this phone is totally sucks.. reason being.. the phone is too lag i regretted having this phone and i just sent back for exchange, the phone is too laggy, i got to wait for like 30second to drag the widgets Oh man..!

  • its awesome, when i bought this phone it was not available in dubai, i got it from UK, man its superb, when u press the send button, all icons (dialed, received and missed) comes along with the call list, so u don't have to press buttons to go to call history, its such a nice phone..camera is very nice

  • i guess i'll go for wifi phone :) But there are lots of reviews about the speaker burst or some get missed call even the phone is just beside.. Im so afraid that i made a wrong decision :(

  • I would choose the Renoir instead of the Pixon. Reasons: -the user interface is nicer,prettier than Pixon(although a ''little'' slower); -better design; -where I live,Romania,it has a smaller price tag than Pixon; -this is not such a significant add but: the manual camera protection opener(it gives me the impresion that I am more conected with the handset;this is probably just me:) ); -more camera features that come in handy some times(e.g. the beauty shot); -wifi(I don't use it but some may consider it important); Pixon advantages over Renoir: -slight bigger screen; -better sound quality (look,why is everyone complaining about the sound quality of renoir?OK is not as loud as other devices but why do u need such a loud device anyway? It is not enough that u have a device that can do a whole lot of things and still be able to play music throught the speaker with reasonable quality? Think about it people!);

  • This killer camera and low price. good stuff i think

  • Hey there.. im now currently dont know which phone to choose, Samsun Pixon or LG Renoir.. Samsung dont have much problem but no Wifi LG has problem with speaker but with Wifi.. not sure which phone to pick..?

  • yes the value is low, but i still get it. get a phone u like and not the vaule.. is not really that lag (:

  • Just got the KC 910, very good phone, specially the wifi connects very fast and easy to use, incoming call voice is very clear, even using the local sim card in Africa. Camera is perfect, touch contol is very responsive but not as soft as others. First time use is very confusing, just need time to learn, as when the unit came it does not have an english instruction manual.

  • from what i've heard, this phone is very lag.. and many ppl say LG phones have no value when selling.. is it true?

  • well the phone has resistive touchscreen which mean u can use a stylus with it,which should be able to recognise handwriting. I personally like capacitive touchscreens that require only a soft touch rather than presure(but with capacitive u can't use anything but u're fingers but that's OK with me). I hope I helped some people understand the diferences between these 2 tipes of touchscreen tipes. Cheers:)

  • Does this phone have handwritting recognition, if no.. then is it easy to type when writting message?

  • Hello everybody I need an English User's Manual (PDF file)for LG KC910. Please send through my email add ([email protected]). Your held would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

  • it is a nice phone

  • This phone,in my opinion is very stylish although it was never ment to be strong on looks. And even if it a tad thicker than the pixon,holding the 2 phones makes u believe that the LG is thinner.And i simply love the user interface,I think it is better than the touchwiz(not apple MacOS of course). This will surely be my next phone;I'll wait until the price drops a little. Go 4 it people!

  • this mobile features up price down thinks to LG

  • what is DivX/Xvid? how does it help?

  • why is the music so soft, although there is dolby * the ringtone too! gosh..

  • I seriously doubt the credibility of your story as it sounds made up anyway. Yes the Iphone's usablity is second to none, but I doubt also that you even own an Iphone. This wasn't meant to be compared to the Iphone, for a start it has MMS that actually works and stereo bluetooth, does the IPhone have that? It took Apple 2 long years to finally implement these features on what my Nokia 3650 could do from 2003. The LG has videocall and FM Radio which the Iphone lacks, plus dolby mobile and DIVX. I'm sure the Iphone doesn't need DIVX but the fact you can't play music through the speakers when you want is plain stupid.

  • www.getjar.com u go this web site and type your mobile model number and search

  • Hey no problem my pleasure and enjoy your fone :)

  • Thank u very much Jordan,u have made me decide which phone should I buy next :) I hate when people post bad comments about this phone,even though they don't have it,they just wanna stop people from buying LG phones that are keep getting better. Thanx again!

  • Hi there...i got this phone around a month ago...before i purchased the fone i read the reviews left by people everyday about this fone...the reviews that people left i found to be misleading and untrue for eg. people critisied the volume of the ringtone saying it was very low which is so untrue...also people commented on the mp3 player volume being very low through the headphones which is once again untrue as there are 2 volume buttons 1. On the Phone 2. On the headphones............After reading these comments over a period of a few weeks i felt i no longer wanted the fone but when i tested it in a shop i found that all the negative comments where untrue....THE ONLY CRITICISM I HAVE FOR THIS FONE IS THAT WHEN RECORDING A VIDEO IN A DARK ENVIRONMENT IT CAN BE A BIT GLOOMY OTHER THAN THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS FONE TO ANYONE AND ITS IS FAR BETTER THAN THE OTHER 8MP FONES THAT ARE OUT THERE.THANKS...JORDAN. BELFAST. n.ireland

  • how can i use microsoft word or excel in my kc910... pls reply thanks

  • how this mobile i want purchase

  • A master-piece. One outstanding mobile.

  • I bought this fone a few days back n its simply awesome ... i have read all the POOR reviews about this fone and do not agree... Its very user-friendly and the camera is xcellent... I would happily recommend it to anyone... dont think... just buy !!!

  • Hy, I have this beautiful phone.contact me AT :

  • noceeee

  • the lg Renoir is an ok phone . lg make better fridges than phones, i would recomend a c905 if ur looking for a quality phone

  • Hi, I have the same problem as you and I cannot switch my phone on. It give me the same message...So frustrating coz I only bought it a week ago. Anyways, have you been able to repair your phone since...my e-mail address is [email protected] Please let me know as I need help too. The phone repair shop say its a software problem (phew!!)

  • Is there an antivirus for this phone? Where can I download it? Also need to have an answer for I have this phone since December and now I experienced having my phone calls cut everytime I use it. The call will end up most probably after a few seconds. It's like I'm experiencing a drop call. I tried to use other simcard from other network, I experience the same scenario. Did someone experience this too? Is this common to all LG renoir or my phone has a defect?

  • For nearly 5months i couldnt decide between the renoir and the iphone! I tried the renoir in the stores and few times and something just wasnt right! In the end i opted for the iphone and OH MY GOD!!! I SO DO NOT REGRET MY DECISION!! Sorry but the renoir to me was rubbish. Yes 8mp camera but to be honest the iphones camera is really ALOT better than i had expected! Im one happy customer who seriously made the RIGHT decision. Especially with all the bad reviews ive read over time with the renoir!

  • Take out the sim card and sd card and then plug the cable back in to update it. this should work if you havent fixed it already. same thing happened to me, but that seemed to work.

  • this phone is alright i suppose i baught it a week ago and to me i dont think it was worth the money ok it has a 8mp cam which is gd but the rest of the features are rather not worth it in my opinion to all that want to buy this phone try it first

  • ist time to have pda phone, regret to have this phone, basic phone to have only wifi,hcus....they say dobly sound, i play my movies dnwload, then not yet finish the speaker of the phone, spoil, rekcuf...... not cant used the phone wd out headset,no quality one...now wasting my time to go service center...

  • I spent weeks checking on gsm arena reading others reviews and what not. I test the N96 in store and the pixon whihc seemed okay. I was sold this phone envutally over the phone by 02 by a retentions person via a geek to geek conversation on it specs ect.ect OMG!!! I could have opened a kinder surprise and got a better build quality than this CRAP!!! Screen, Apart from being a slow as george Bush to make an apology it was not intuitive or nice to look at. Lg have seemed to try to create the S60 look with MS paint. It took me 20 min to realise that if I had to face instant death whilst having my eyes poked out or have this phone for 12 months. I would take the death thanks. I am an IT engineer so get pretty exited about technology , not that you have to work in IT to be interested. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE who ever you are try this in a shop before you buy it. On paper it sounds good but it looks cheap (in real life) the functions seem cheap and overall LG have only produced a few handsets so bless them at least there trying. Peolple do like to go on on this web site when reviewing but this phone is scrap. N.B. There are no software updates, extra widgets or proper support for this device so if you buy then start praying for a miracle...

  • send your phone to an authorized repair station, you cant do anything about it. some nokia models has the same problem when their firmware is being updated.

  • can yu use ur nails to press

  • I need help, i tried to update my renoir firmmweare but something went wrong, now when i try to turn renoir on it just said "lg please wait" and that mesage wont change, i cant use my phone at all, any sugestions how to fix this... plzzzz

  • Can anybody tell me if this phone allows to easily record the conversations (so that my voice and the voice of my caller is well heard)? What I want is having the ability to record the conversation without browsing through tons of menus- 2-3 clicks and recording to a file when needed... I have this option in my old W910i, but I've heard its not possible in windows mobile systems anymore... Thank you very much in advance for help.

  • tryed that...and 2 weeks later its still no better!!!

  • Not sure if you've already figure it out or not. And also not sure if you are referring to 3G or Wi-Fi. In any case, please note that in order to connect to the internet you need to be sure that: 1) your plan allows for receiving over the air data; 2) you are in a 3G area; 3) your settings are not in GSM mode only. If you're on a GPRS or EDGE connection the phone will not connect to the internet.

  • the write-up says it has gps with an a-gps reciever but in no phone doctor and dont know exactly wat that means.i know wat gps is and how it works in other phones like the omnia but can someone please explain to me wat a-gps is and how it is different as ive never had a gps or a-gps phone before and would like to know how it works.cheers

  • I had the phone for 3 months and still 'live' with these issues despite calling on LG Singapore for help on 2 occassions: 1) Very soft ring tones, for incoming calls 2) Unable to view jpg photos, taken with SLR digital camera !

  • Hi i got this phone yesturday and im not sure why it wont connect to the web. I have read the booklet that comes with it and i have followed the instuctions but it doesnt seem to work. Do i need to activate something to make it work? Can any1 help please? Thanks

  • i heard that v10j is faster than v10g. Is it true?

  • if price is not a factor go for renoir. 5800XM is only good at music & larger screen & being symbian. Else renoir is simply awesome.

  • The best thing you can do is a MASTER RESET call this code 3845#*910# first time it will say data then put in again,then you are in the reset menu many things to do to phone here ,I did a factory reset and it fixed everything with my kc910

  • Hi...where can i find a firmware upgrade for my Renoir

  • the phone supports divx & xvid.. but not all videos... its better to encode the videos to divx before we copy it to the phone software is available in cd which we get with the pack :)

  • even i also found the same problem.. :( the ringtone is very low even when oompared to my nokia N72 !! thought the music playback is superb with the head set.. Can anybody fix this ?? :(

  • slow motion video sucks compared to predecessor, lg viewty. phone is nice but made with ALL plastic parts!

  • LG Viewty II GC900 - Quadband GSM, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, HSUPA 1.4 Mbps - 3" Touchscreen WVGA(800x480 pixels) - S-Class 3D User Interface - Accelerometer sensor - 8 Megapixel camera with Xenon Flash, manual and auto focus, image stabilizer, face detection, burst mode, high speed video recording, ISO 1600, Geotagging, etc - MicroSD support up to 32GB - WiFi - DivX and Xvid video playback - GPS and A-GPS support

  • I have installed Java apps bigger than 3MG so not sure if that is a problem. In regards to the GPS I assume you mean dedicated software (like a tom tom for example) - not that I know of yet. However the GPS on my phone works with Google Maps which I installed (it gets my position) and also the geo-tagging photo feature and the jogging buddy (which this fat b#$st@rd probably won't use :-) Apparently I burnt 147 Kj walking to the shops to pick up a packet of chips and a soft drink)

  • OMG!!!! I juz got it babay!!!it's super sexy!! luv it to da max!!! yippeee!!! it's super nice!! u won't regret! juz grab it!!

  • hey renior owners, does this cell support podcasts? Plz answer back

  • Hi guys , I've got 2 questions : 1- I've heard it has some problems installing java applications bigger than 3 MBs , is that right? 2- Considering the problem above , is there any GPS application that we can install on Renoir ? (since one can only install java software on this phone). I mean not this GPS softwares which need wi-fi connections to get worked . thx

  • I think it is crap give me a motorola v3 anyday

  • I was never a fan of lg until i saw this bad boy. I love it. I have had no problems with it at all. Would highly recommend it.

  • how much does LG kc910 worth (in Philippines)? does anyone of you have an Idea? and compared to 5800 XM, which is better? based on Functionality, response, speed, camera, etc Thanks

  • has anyone noticed that the msg tone and ringtone are so low in volume!these are from my laptop tho but my n95 doesnt turn the volume doen on it!i cant even hear my msg in my bag or practially right beside me!fixable?and theres no downloadable themes for this ph...hmmm great ph but disapointing!

  • is there a way to alter the format the vids are recorded in? When i try to send a vid to a friend the file is unsupported. Want to go back to my faithful Nokia!

  • do you know how can i play and set up divx?

  • what is the highest bitrate and highest resolution video that this phone can playback? (NOT record)

  • i hate dis fone!!!! its not responded quickly if i touch the screen very slow! and one more thing the accessories its hard to find.its seems i carry a cheap fone!

  • the latest firmware (V10_g ARAB) 16-01-09 has definitely improved the picture quality. i believe there is something with the flash also. It seems LG has taken renoir seriously. i found they didnt have much support for their previous phones. but they have given renoir a go. i just love my renoir. oh one thing, the shutter sound can be turned off in this latest firmware.

  • change your memory card or full format it with sdformatter. i believe its damaged as it was in my case. if you take out the memory card your renoir should work fine.

  • ALSO the keypad isnt as responsive, you tap one side of the screen and another options comes up! and i know this is nit picking a bit but the camera comes open everytime you put it in your pocket because of the direction of the mechanisim to open it, surly this should have been looked at when they built the phone!

  • went from a viewty to the renoir!!! massive diffrence! NOT IN A GOOD WAY! fone freezes and crashes to the point where you have to take the battrey out! dosnt matter how many replacements you have! the viewty i had for 20months before deciding on the renoir and i never had the viewty replaced once!!! wish id never upgraded!!!

  • A great phone. Whoooooooooooooooo It is sooooooooooooooooooooooo good. I absloutely love it.an Please get it. It is soooooooooooooooo good because it has got sooooooooooooooo much stuff in it and u can put in it too.

  • you tried hard but it was clear that you wrote it being emotional. think with a clear head, i think you will do a lot better.

  • standby:3days sounds,video,wifi,gps,etc:1day

  • and lgtorturado 1,also

  • lg renoir torturado2,watch this video at youtube,i was schocked

  • Europian version 3days

  • Where can we find an english manual of the phone?

  • Where can I find motion sensored games? I found some touchscreen ones at . No luck with motion sensored ones.

  • I see on youtube that on this phone touch screen lag very much.What is your experience with this phone?I want to buy it but i'm afraid of this.Thank you.

  • Is touch screen on this phone lag too much?

  • Hi everyone.. can someone please tell me what the battery life is like on this phone. Of course it says 246 hours but i want to know from someone who actually owns the phone... because i also know that it's not always correct. Thanks :)

  • please,can anyone tell me how to watch divx?what should i do?

  • Does anyone know the link or how to configure this phone for picture messaging with T-mobile server? Thanks

  • The review about the flash being poor is NOT TRUE!! I had a Sony Ericsson K810i with xenon flash prior to the Renoir. My K810i could light up a dark room and take a decent photo - AND the Renoir CAN do this too!!!!!! I've just done it!! When the camera is active select Camera settings (top left icon) then Preview tab>Back light compensation. This seems to force the flash (I'd tried red-eye reduction before to force the flash but doesnt seem to work) No wonder professional photographers are using this camera! It has *loads* of nifty features. Being picky, the menus overall could be a bit quicker - but that's so far, there may be other stuff I've not discovered/read in the manual yet to subdue any minor niggles I have. Best all rounder on the market at the moment! :D *bounce*

  • I have used every brand phone Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Sharp, Motorolla, Sagem, iMATE, Samsung and LG. I have to say the LG Renoir is a fantastic phone with rich features including the amazing 8 Megapixel Camera with Xenon Flash so if you need a good phone with good specs that do what you want honestly get yourself the Renoir...

  • hi all,, if the phone is in silent mode and i taked a picture did any sound goes up ?

  • Does this phone support Java application?

  • I beg your pardon for Post 1days ago. correct Link:

  • the price?

  • the price?

  • After synchronizing the phone with my outlook express contacts the phone can not start

  • Amazing phone! Installed some touchscreen games from Still searching for some accelerometer games.

  • 4 Video in night of Renoir

  • please,i need help.what should i do too watch divx?i mean,i dont understand the procedure,should i download some program,or what?can someone please help me,i want too use divx,bit i dont know how,because i dont know so much about computers.THANKS A LOT!

  • hi guys .. i want to buy LG KC910 Renoir but i have two questions .. does it run a messenger or something like that(via wifi)????? and how much does it cost now??? please answer me...

  • there is a sound when you take a photo, but you can turn sound off. But sound is always on at start and end of video recording. I Believe its meant to stop privacy issues.

  • here's the link for google maps that work with touchscreen although google maps won't work with my renoirs gps. I use mobile gmaps which does work with the gps even inside the house!!! (tested on fresh install with network off) the camera has a choice of two sounds or none robert.

  • the renoir is a great phone. tbh i am blown away by the quality of the camera and the video camera for the size of the product. I copied a dvd to divx and can play it on my 42inch plasma tv even my 17year old son was amazed. It does everything it says it does if you cannot connect by wifi or whatever your doing it wrong! Only problem is speaker has bust but a quick phone call to lg support and they are exchanging it.

  • You can turn camera sound off. My biggest problem with the KC910..is ... no one seems to know what it is. My first one on T-Mobile had the full touch screen Google map, but had to go back because of network problem, second one were with Orange, better reception but the Google map on it is half-baked when come to google map, you cant use full touch screen, there are numeric keys you need to use to zoom in/out etc. Try to find TomTom or Garmin is hopeless, no one knows, the internet is half baked also, I were hoping to use it for remoteserver access, it connects, but then no more input allow, making it pointless. On the plus size, size is small, camera is good, battery is ok (normally 2 days, to make sure, I got a car charger, USB charger just in case), Orange interface is crap, I had to debrand it to get a decent UI, I also unlocked it so I can carry on with O2, so far its fine for the basic needs of phones, camera, calendars etc.

  • i have also same problem in activating the gps, the google maps does not work properly

  • yes it has sound when taking a picture

  • yes its xenon flash i got 1 last week its great!

  • Is its xenon flash more powerfull that one in the SE K850i or C905 with the latest firmware update? Please reply. Thanks in advance.

  • I have had nokia before and believe me Nokia buil quailty are not the best compare to the price that you paid for a phone, N95 does not even have good qulaity picture its horrible and capture button lag and theres no divx player. Honestly i think up until todya my two favorite mobile brand are SAMSUNG AND LG. by the way what you had mentioned about the REnoir is a total biased review, In my opinion an Lg renoir are a very good phone

  • My one connects fine on WPA2, maybe your router is incorrectly setup? or won't allow the device to connect, I suggest you check your router settings to make sure it is correctly setup

  • urgent is it a sound when i take a picture ?

  • Mine doesn't (on orange uk software), but overall, it's a much better handset than viewty/prada

  • some of ur comments are true like the music player and the touch screen compared to I-phone but not Nokia N95. All others are exaggerated and not true based on your experience. Anyway thanks for the scam.

  • Hiii i just thought about reviewing my new lg Renoir phone I've been using since some days-and believe me guys what I'm to tell u won't be pleasing-It is not a good phone-basically if u used lg viewty-then this is just an upgrade with only wifi and 3g added-the rest it is basically similar-Ill state the cons and won't state about the benefits as the cons are far more important-The bad things about this phone im summarizing below: 1.There is a lag whenever u press touch screen-apple iphone has the best touch screen and this one actually its just a bit more sensitive than lg viewty 2.The 8mp camera i don't think it is 8mp at all-The photos are not stunning as people say mind u-I have compared them to my old nokia n95 and i should say the n95 has better pictures believe me.the 8 mp i think its just a cover to attract people besides its not even a good recorder-it records 30fps but damn it-my n95 records at 30 frs also and the image quality is simply outstanding in my n95-The 30 fps in the renoir when i recorded and played in my pc-its sadly the worst believe me-Lg claims its dvd quality--my foot it is not dvd, not even vcd quality-its just a bit more than seeing a 3gp movie playing well full screen than playing in a small screen-So why is this dvd quality video claim not good? 3.You can't find much about java apps-Forget about fring/forget about opera mini-you got a browser that is fast but is not the best-its just like an unknown browser and hopelessly you will never get support for a better browser- 4.the music playback claims to be dolby-well i agree but why the hell it is playing so low?If u r in a bus listening to mp3-forget this damn thing the sound quality is good but very low the bus sound will disturb u-Also i noticed the playback is alway in alphabetical order-Well this is something awkard-No equalizer-why the hell??? The lg phone also has a very bad support-its very very bad also i mean if u r getting a problem with the lg-then too bad you will get problems looking for help online Last of all-why this divx phone?Why it says divx and when i put some divx videos it says unsupported format?Isn't divx able to play any movie?In my n95 i would install corecodec player this plays dat also!then why this divx specified phone doesn't support many divx videos?? Guys beware-it may appear its a cool phone but like im warning u-its expensive but it will not meet u nor satisfy you-Like you might be seeing so many apps and games in an iphone and might be wondering why you won't be able to install in ur lg renoir?I was sad myself when a friend of mine was watching streaming videos like from youtube from his iphone or n95-This one doesn't support youtube via wifi...The screen support widgets and lg claim you can put as many as u want but how much?Basically there are only some 8 widgets only and you can't put what you really require-they put a list and you choose from the list and sadly it is lagging-it freeze ur mob sometimes- 5-i also noticed something wrong in the phone-when somebody phones you and you pick the call-i notice the screen going in locked mode!why is this?say this person calling u just give you a valuable info you want to note it while u r in hands free-the hell you have to bring the screen out from standby then unlock it then you can add the note-The multitasking thing also sucks man-damn lg for such a worst thing-you can be playing an mp3 when u get a message-it might not open saying error message-probably some bugs still in the latest firmware well that's all--sorry for my english im not so good i should agree but this renoir sucks-if you want to buy a phone then choose to buy one who is a full multimedia device-Like an iphone for example-You will say its camera is poor but buy a digital camera the picture is best than any phone--Buy a phone which has a good video recording capability-decent picture-decent battery-decent support-support many apps-plays movie-plays youtube-and has a great music playing capability just like ipod-a larger screen also!thanks and bye

  • Where are the speakers? Cant seem to find them in the 360 degree turn...

  • Renoir users Is it that you were talking about issues with the new FW? The events in a wide-screen 640x384 @ 30fps, right? So when you record video at this resolution problem has occurred. Right?

  • Use amazegps, works fine.

  • Just put my hands on it.I`ve change my k850i becouse i like touch screen it`s nice for internet and only internet.Phone itself is nice solid and easy to use packed with latest tech gadget,but yes there are few buts.Don`t know why samsung and lg still blocking java apps not provided or certyfied by them so gps so far is useles(nav4all,wayfinder not working)even games from lg website does not support renoir yet.Camera is realy nice but flash is to weak even for closeups.I realy like it.

  • Does the LG Renoir work with AT&T in US?

  • Hi has anyone been able to upgrade the software on the V10a as i'm not having any luck. Thanks

  • i have this phone for about 3 weeks now i dont mind other then very very major issues such as speaker is broker while watching a movie now i cant make phone calls either as i cant hear people from other end (it sounds like they are shreaking!) alarm is CRAP in the morning to turn of the alarm or put on snooze IF phone is locked which most likely will be you have to unlock it FIRST then press snooze and GUESS what suprise suprise snooze wont pause the alarm it will carry on BUT you will see pause sign on the top bar and it will carry on again AND THIS TIME NO PROMPT either to SNOOZE OR STOP (i hate this FULLY ITS GAY!) now picture part camera is good PROVIDED you are in LIT area otherwise ITS NOT AS GOOD as SE 8MP camera picture. finally touchy touch screen its by far the best i used (it doesnt have flicker movement as iPhone) provided you calibre the Touch screen with your thumb and once that is set bobs your uncle. overall its a good phone but few annoyances will drive you up the wall as broken speaker and alarm stuff (i have 12 months guarantee SO SWAPPED IT when it was broken!) LG please fix your firmware and software ISSUE! Also whats the point have amazing DOLBY MOBILE when your speaker cant even stand movie action sounds......jeezzzz

  • tried the phone for over 10 mins. 1. ringtone is soft 2. touchscreen is not laggy but VERY laggy will not go for it.

  • You need to go into the connectivity menu and select the USB function. its a bit of an anitiquated way to comm with the pc, but you gotta tell it you wanna connect via USB or BLUETOOTH before you can connect. RTFM

  • I have 2 questions: I have my TMobile LG KC910 unlocked. Now I want to update the firmware. Would the phone be locked again if I update the firmwire? & My Google Maps Application doesnt run because in settings TMobile Data Settings are in default. I cannot remove them and also in Google Maps there is no option for selecting any Profile. What should I do? I dont use TMobile anymore.

  • Well the speaker is Dolby digital, it's one of the best speakers in the market...

  • I have installed gmaps and amaze on my phone bur I can't get a gps signal. It can't get gps on jogging buddy either.Is this a faulty phone or just a poor reception?

  • anywhere i can download the firmware for kc910 (Tmobile UK) except through the LG software and USB, as there is no way I can connect my mobile to the computer using USB, therefore I need to install via bluetooth. Help! this is driving me crazy :-)

  • Anybody know where to find info about the different firmwares?

  • Firmware version for EU open changed from v10j_02 to v10j_05 now.

  • hello everyone! - could you download themes for this phone? - is it true you can not watch youtube videos during wi-fi connectivity? - i heared that this phone is not a quadband, and that it is a triband because it does not support 850 frequency, is this true? - how is the sound quality on this phone?, is it loud and clear? please someone let me know soon, thanks

  • i read that so far only 1 lg renoir won't work in the usa. Anyone else out there that is experienceing that problem? If it doesn't work i'll just stick with the viewty.

  • can you install new themes on the RENOIR??in the preview they told that there are only two colour shemes!!!what about themes?and does speaker really sucks??is it quiet??two guys said that their speaker has broken!!exept this questions the phone is ok for me.and thanks for the answers

  • Hmmm... Your fault mate. Really it's common knowledge and I guarantee you were on the American website. The phone is quality, as is LG's phone build quality nowadays, so enjoy people... Because your Nokia's, Se, Samsungs won't be enjoyable

  • ordinary JAVA based os.

  • What operating system does this device use? They only say that it has a Flash-based touch user interface

  • KC910 EU Open v10j 02 KC910 Orange UK v10e 02 KC910 Tmobile v10e 01(updated from v10e 00) KC910 Vodafone v10d 01 firmware available at here

  • Any1 know how to get rid of the default demo games? (I'm with 02)

  • Is there anyway to stop the ringtone at the start and end of recording movies? It does this even when the phone is in silent mode.

  • I think it will only attach to contacts stored on the phone and not the sim

  • yes you can

  • whats the difference between KC910 T-MOBILE and KC910 Europe Open??

  • Buyer beware. Lg seems to have no problem falsely advertising this phone. It does not support the GSM 850 network as they claim. It is not a true Quad Band as defined by the honest sellers in the industry. Since I live in the US Lg will not even speak to my question as to why the phone is falsely described in their own specs. Why do you advertise this as a quad band when it ill not function on the the 850 network? Answer; " we are sorry, but Lg..Canada, Uk, Australia...etc.. Does not support this Model in the US." Real nice... If you like being lied to then brushed off, then this phone is for you.

  • is there like a MessageTone time limit? i know how it is on Nokia phones for SMS tones that it plays the entire .mp3 file instead of some chopped off 5 secs of the file .. So does tis phone allow you to play the ENTIRE .mp3 file when you recieve messages, or does it CUT YOU OFF after 5-10secs?

  • Its flash based operating system suck very much...

  • I bought an LG renoir, a week ago, but didnt have the chance to use it. I charged it, however, when i wanted to use it the next day, it freezes and states "please Wait" up till today.. I've tried many things from taking the battery out and run the battery out, but it still prompt the samething.. how do i reset my phone... Please mail me of the precedure at [email protected]

  • Found some games after a long wait on

  • Still having problems with this one!

  • eu cn onli move e picture or songs into handset memory so tat it cn be move into wad ever folder eu had created

  • i am waiting this phone in my country, I want ask? Do the widget or flash UI can be d/l ? Do the drag system still get lag or delay like in cookie?

  • Does this phone has msn messenger on it?

  • you can use your finger by drag and drop.

  • Hi guys! Has anyone already intstalled the the vesion of the firmware V10j-2? Please shere your impressions.

  • just had mine today, i am happy with the handset but am unsure how you move photos into a particular foldert once it has been created. How do you do this?

  • what a great fone! renwa! 8Megapix, digital Dolby sound, with wi-f, and most affordable.

  • You can drag and drop files to your fone via your C:\ computer. I find this method way easier than using the PC suite. (I eventually deleted it). The renoir will convert your video files automatically via this method. Renoir also supports .3gp files. Transferring an avg movie (1.5hrs) to the memory card (via adapter) takes approx 3/4 mins. I was impressed. The data cable slightly longer. Hope this helps. (No probs with WIFI either).

  • i have the same problem,i cant find the mac adress, i think i wil go to the store and ask for it, i want to download many things on it(games,apps,music...) THE LG RENOIR HAS A GREAT CAMERA AND SOUNDS GREAT!!

  • I wonder when it comes in different colours, e.g. in white.

  • i use all my phones via ps3.... on others you can do it through control pad charger but you must use mem stick and adaptor with renoir. more messaging about for 1 or 2 pic/vids but for alot the speed is phenominal. it took me over 4 hours to put files on PS3 from my old phone but only 25 minutes to retrieve and put on renoir.... must've been 300+ songs, 2000 pics and loads of video. MAKE SURE YOU DELETE ALL GROUPS IN CONTACTS OTHERWISE YOU CANNOT COPY FROM SIM STOPPING YOU FROM SELECTING WHEN TEXTING OR SETTING SPEED DIAL ect ect

  • i can do all that on mine but i just can't get over the fact that they boast dolby speakers but they are really quiet.... if you want to listen to music you MUST have headphones.

  • Hey how do you view pics on the TV via ur ps3? can u just tell me how that actually works??! and what about this dust under the screen?! Mine works fine, only problem is that the battery life is really poor. 3 hours is crap!! but ovearll im really happy i got this phone!!

  • How/Can you set a sound to go on once the call has ended???

  • Well ive had my lg kc910 since last thursday, my phone is on the T- Mobile network, to some users who say google maps does'nt work, google maps works fine on my device an im not kidding, also camera is great photo's look great viewed on my laptop an Tv via my ps3, only complaints i have, 1) the volume of the speaker should be louder , 2) dust collects under the screen protecter an ive since removed it, other than that phone is great an battery life is good.

  • Looks like an excellent device for its money, but 3 hours of talk time ? Would have been an excellent phone if it had a decent battery life, but I suppose they have to cut back somewhere.

  • i just looked the specifications and i looks great but coment about it are hopeless so should i buy it or not ????????

  • I sure hope that it does work!! Il try later today and tell youa all what happens. Errm in reference to the picture attaching to contact. I think that the photo wil be saved to your phone memory if it was on you rmemory card it will be moved to the phone memory. Just search around for it. i FOund mine!!

  • Maybe EU Open because your phone is unlocked.

  • Just got the Renoir for my wife but struggling to attach an image to a contact number, after going to the image and selecting use as contact it then can't find the contact number in the directory. Does anybody have any idea?

  • How/Can you set a sound to go on once the phone call is hanged up??????????

  • no msn, but have managed to read emails from hot mail, i like teh phone but the speaker broke today, only had it 5 days so far :s hope its a one off

  • Are you sure ? I have heard many bad reviews that say the GPS with Google maps does not work?

  • I bought my phone on the 3 Network in UK, and now ive unlocked it and im using a T-Mobile SIM card.. Will i be able to update to the new available softwares. If yes which one, the T-Mobile one or the EU open?!

  • it improves the speed of your speed on menu screen, etc.

  • LG is keep upgrading their software. KC910 v10j_02 now.

  • How/Can you set a sound to go on once the phone call is hanged up??????????

  • Had my phone a couple of months and I am impressed with all the features. The only thing is it doesn't recognise the memory card that came with it? The little icon at the top only appears when I turn the wi-fi on. Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone help me? Orange are useless when I ask them! Thanks.

  • has anyone in the whole wide world got theGPS function & google maps to work......no? Big let down

  • it says that cannot doing video streaming during wi-fi is it mean that we can't watching you tube when we open the internet using wi fi?

  • hi alex , r u in uk ?? i checked out the pics they look very much from a magazine or something, the pics r really nice .The pic of the red sports car is that also taken by this lg phone ??? i have to make a decision btwn samsung innov8 ,pixon n lg - its a tough 1

  • can someone please tell me does this cell phone have msn messeger?? thanks

  • This phone is by far the best phone i have ever had.Its camera is superb...It takes better pictures than my 7.2 samsung digital camera. The video is of high quality and the user interface is just fantastic.I m waiting for the next software update that hopefully will make the phone even better than it is(if thats possible)!!! NO FLAWS !!! PERFECT HIGH END PHONE.. check my photos on flickr with the lg renoir.... user name is alex cleary and i think the website is www.flickr.com/alexclearysphotos. ofc the photos are cropped and downsampled so i can upload them faster but still enjoy.!!!! and also it has a better video editor than windows..../

  • Change your phone setting to mass storage. then your pc will recognize your phone.

  • having trouble with lg pc suite, it doesn't recognize my phone. Need help on this matter

  • Anonymous, What do you mean for wide screen video recording, you need the right type of memory card. Else it will have the "pause and continue" effect? What type of memory card do i need?

  • can someone help me?when i`m trying to make move studio,pics are teriblle!they are not in normal size,it looks like my face has 100 pounds,and it is just unreall.can enyone help me?=!

  • Had this phone for a grand total of 5 mins before I realised it was absolutely terrible, the menu looks like it took a minute to design the screen is too bright and the touchscreen display is a knoghtmare for texting with reverted back to my 8600 luna straightaway. Phone is now on Ebay!!!

  • My reservation has always been the inability of LG phones to have long battery life. Even for the highly rated LG phones. A talk time of 3 hours? That to me is insufficient

  • then ask LG that how much renoir can read. i think that's the only way

  • 10 mega pixel. it is not true that anything above 8mp not "detectable". As an illustrations, i have 100 jpg files in the Renoir, let's say about 20 or so of them having problems viewing. However, these same 100 pix would have no problem on my N95 or other models ! Trust LG is reading this thread and they should give an appropriate response accordingly.

  • hi, i live in uk & i am in search of good 8 mp camera phone .camera is priority. Are the comments here from uk or somewhere else ??? i have heard that samsung innov8 n pixon i have tried gave v nice pics n video images.Have not tried Renoir yet. Is renoir better than samsung n SE c905 ?? SE c905 also has xenon flash like renoir ,but the pics on mobile were not looking v promising to put on computer.Samsung pixon pics looked much better - dont know if it was bcoz of its screen. can any1 tell if using xenon flash is really better with renoir or is it better to go for samsung pixon n innov8. are all countries mobile different ?? has any1 used these mobiles in uk ??? this site does compare pics of all 4 - 8mp mobile n we can see samsung innov8 r better,but still it does not have xenon flash - so not v sure . please need some commments

  • pure greatnees

  • what is the resolution of your canon Dslr? if that's over 8mp, maybe your Renoir can't depict that on the screen.

  • There are many of my jpeg files (taken with my Canon SLR), all readable on my N95 and Sony Ericson, but not on this Renoir. Error message are "Sorry the file is invalid or corrupt". Went to LG Service Centre in Singapore twice and they were NOT able to help except to say that the phone cannot support ".. above certain mega pixel". Can anyone help? tks LN

  • LG flat out lies in their specs by saying this is a Quad BAnd... This Phone does not work in the GSM 850 band. I even called LG direct and asked them if this phone was a quad band or a tri band and they assred me they only make the quad, I had seen numerous tri bands for sale and asked them about it and they played dumb. So I baought it on their word.. While the camera feature is awesome. The rest of the features...especially he keypad suck. The touch is either too sensitive or not sensitive enough during the same text message.. Anyway since I was lied to by LG twice.. once in their specs and again in person. This will be the last LG I ever purchase...

  • another great BAD handset made by LG! They make them look all great and the best thing since sliced cheese but they suck so much when you use it! This was LG's last as far as Im concerned. will not be getting another one in the future!

  • I wish Renoir phone were in different colours not only in black or grey... it's boring.

  • I hope this phone will be in a good release in the philippines. :D can't wait for it!

  • iS quite nice after all .but is a bit sad nothing is perfect. 1. the music software come with pc suite 2 is difficult to use and after they rip the music always failed to transfer to the phone , it never success! 2. also the music software after i upgrade my phone through i cant rip any cd anymore.it show"something relevant to decoder". 3. thw worst is when i put 5 mp4 movie in , the phone can only play two of them.i go through google no answer for that. plus i call service center in Singapore they cant answer my question and ask me to go to their HQ to speak with their technician! Any of u know the questions i mentioned pls send me a reply to>> [email protected] thunsand thanks!

  • I am not happy with the phone. I got it because I wanted to have caller photo ID to avoid putting glasses on everytime I get a call. But when you attach a photo to a contact it appears in a tiny little box in the left hand corner of the screen. It should be in the middle of the screen and bigger. does anyone know how to fix this problem or is this just the way the phone is.

  • Anyone upgraded to the V10j_01 without any problems? What is the difference? So far I find this phone great. Have hearing problem but find if using 'Outdoor' setting for phone this is OK to hear. Yeah themes could have been better. LG need to listen to their users, but still a great phone anyway.

  • not only the rinng is low,but my speaker was broken after...4 incoming calls. maybe the mp3 i have setted have high dynamic signal,i don't know,but this is innacepable!!! and the 2nd big probleb: i used 2 giga microsd in it. i filled 80% with divx clips,mp3 and stuff. from that moment,when i opened the lens cover to take a picture,all system was blocked!!!! i formatted the microsd,and it works good after that,but...

  • Anybody knows the different with the new firmware V10j01 comparing to the older ones?

  • why what is wrong with it

  • worst phone i have ever had!

  • This is my next phone :) Love it! Thanx LG!

  • If you're going to buy this phone. You should buy from either fizi.com or selectgsm.com This phone is amazing! The manual came with I think chinese and english. The sound is incredible. When I put the headphones on.. I feel like I'm floating. The sound in like a surround sound in your head. It beats the iphone or the itouch. :) Dolby mobile is badass.

  • renoir is a great toy...but??? the stylus has nowhere to go so you have this tagg hanging off the side of the phone if your like me and have fat fingers it could prove tricky.also gps software for the phone is almost not to be found with no information on the operating system ie symbian windows mobile ect is almost non exsitant,apart from this some fab gadgets the screen is very clear when playing movies, but really need to find gps software for this phone and lg certainly dont seem to give you any clues either...can anyone help here as i have just upgraded from my trusted nokia n95 so left feeling a bit fustrated as they seem to have released this phone without any software for the man on the move yet arrrrgggghhhh

  • I want the upgrade for UK version!!!

  • I loooooveee this phone :) It has great features and think its user friendly. All the other opinions that I read on here. Don't apply to my phone. My phone acts just fine. I looooooveeee it :) I don't know why so much people think the iphone is like the best touchscreen phone in the world. I think it's only good for the music. The iphone camera sucks though and its not really user friendly. But I loovee mac computers :) Hahahahaha I don't know what that had anything to do with my opinion but whatever. If you're thinking about getting this phone. You definitely should!

  • I due for an upgrade and therefore thinking about buying this phone. Does it have the same problem as the viewty that is not able to send long sms (over 2 msgs) as an sms. It converts the message to mms.

  • hello! could you please give me a link or a source where from i can download the user guide for this phone? please help me find it ,in order to decide to buy it i ned to read the manual. thank you for your time , and i'm aspecting an answer [email protected]

  • I think you already know that :) V10a

  • How can i know wich is my version? I have the 10a now

  • And now V10j 01.

  • European open version firmware came out on this site. There is v10j 00 version now.

  • Has anyone tried using the 16gb card in this phone

  • I've had this phone for a few days, slight lag sometimes but it is a touchphone. I must say the camera/video recording is great. I've yet to work out how to convert a video. Only (major) problem is the speaker. Through the headset its fine, but the actual ringtones even your own mp3 are VERY low even at its highest setting. Forget everything else, this should be priority no1 for all phones, as i'm sure nobody wants a phone to miss their calls! According to GSM's audio test - Iphone ringing is worse.

  • i luv this phone!!!!chumpy!!!!

  • Im getting my Renoir unlocked tomorrow.. i called the 3 Network and i can get my phone unlocked for only �15. So now im happy, i get poor cell coverage with 3!!

  • thanks:)

  • if anyone is having problems connecting to your computer all you need to do is go into Settings-connectivity-usb connection and then select "Mass storage" the pc then just reads it as a usb pen so its really easy to upload pics and music and visa versa

  • Does any one else have issues with recording videos on this phone? I can not believe that LG would release a phone that records video with the sound out of sync.

  • so I said it is for tmobile version. :)

  • There isn't the new firmware for no brand version yet. Here the models:

  • maybe for Tmobile version

  • there is a firmware update website by LG.

  • Thanks for the reply jonesdude But is the video out of sync with all the video settings? Is anyone else having this issue?

  • Did anyone try the Flash content. I just tried to run a 354kb flash file and it says file limit exceeded. Has anyone else also experienced this? What is the max file size allowed?

  • Duhhh!!!! What makes Apple IPHONE better? it doesn't even have a good camera.. you can just use you iphone as your ipod... :)

  • You can use the camera flash light as a torch

  • There is v10e version now.

  • there is a LG KC910 firmware update website.

  • There's also supposed to be a colour theme that comes with the phone. See under the heading 'All the basics are covered' -

  • this phone good for kids under 12 only.!!!

  • Is this phone any better than the Viewty and is it worth upgrading to the Renoir?????

  • Yes, We have been misleaded. This Phone's Sound is Very Very Very Poor!!!

  • Difficult to configure for Internet Service. Very poor at choosing which network to use every time you use an application with Internet needs. Giroscope detection doesn't work everytime. The sound isn't very lound and you can loose many calls if you are sleeping.

  • yeah i had that problem and so did this tv review, and i had sync problem on 2 replacements. No more LG for me.

  • i have had my renoir about 5 weeks my 2 colleagues at work both have LG phones 1 has a cookie and the other is a viewty they had them for crimbo. it wasn't until there phones rang that made me realise why i had missed all calls i can't hear the phone ring (i haven't an hearing problem) especially when the ringtone is an mp3 i have it on outside mode full volume its terrible.i transferred some music to there phone and it is quiet on thiers. they transferred music between thier phones very load. i have taken it back but and are sending it for repair has anyone had this problem. i feel i have bought a phone that is not fit for the purpose i have bought it for. please reply

  • I am from UK, so might be different from where you live. Does anybody know where to download themes for this phone?

  • I was hoping that someone can answer my question. I have heard that in video mode the audio is out of sync with the video on some settings, is this true?

  • I have recently received my phone and so far quite happy with it but want to know is there anywhere I can download some more themes as its only got black or white. I have downloaded loads of wallpaper so if anyone can advise me where to look it would be most appreciated.
