LG KF300 - User Reviews

  • I used this model before, quite nice! especially speaker.

  • Great phone although I can't find any were in the manual that says it is hearing aid compatible I find it works perfectly well when my aids are set to the T setting also gives best clarity. A real bonus for me.

  • the KF 300 dose have one, i've had mine for one year and there is alot wrong with it but i descovered the parsword about three days into having it the original pasword is 0000 but you can chang it.

  • I have this phone. I bought 2 units. One for me and one for my dad. It's been 2 years now. Wow! It is a great phone!!

  • i want to buy one since i had look its design... but when i read all the comments... erm.... i feel like i don't want to buy it since its have many problems... but ilove this phone although i didn't have it yet.... can anybody give me a suggestion.... if u support not to buy give me a reason, sam eto the yes answer...

  • Have used this phone for nearly 2 years now, its the best phone I ever had. However I don't do any fancy things with it. Just calls, sms, and maybe photos. Dont need any glasses nor a brain to work it.

  • Never ever buy this phone

  • I have been using this phone for last 7months. It has got lot of software issues. My phone goes off frequently, even if there is enough battery charge. Since I am loosing lot of calls.

  • ok, my lg is purple in colour, but don't be fooled by it's nice screen and keypad and stuff... but it doesnt support themes!!! and it uses the battery so much.. I have to charge almost every night! and the keypad is sooo heavy!

  • Hey ive had this phone for quite some time but have never ever been able to send a picture/image message to my friends because it keeps saying 'Communication Error' can anyone help me resolve this please...

  • not a very good one. been using it carefully for about 8 months and last 2 months it hangs and there is no reaction at all. the worst is that i don't even now when it hangs and cannot receive the calls. the performance in general has been also very slow (even before it broke down). what i like is stylish clock on the front panel and big bright screen.

  • i'd like the model n ths phone and its so stylistic design but not so perfect...u cnt view the video from youtube...its supports only 3gp file and non downloadable themes...i have ths kind of phone but it will not last longer....but its stylistic phone

  • Can someone post the Directory Structure that the LG KF300 uses? For Blackberry its like: \video \ringtones \music . . But does anyone know it for the LG KF300

  • wat should i do if cant play a video on my lg kf 300 phone wen im logging in to youtube by my phone it says( scheme not supported) pols help i need an answer pls send your answer to this number 09068476647... tnx a lot and God bless.....

  • i jz bought it few days ago and there r pros and cons... the theme cannot be downloaded (2 themes only, black and white), the sound quality is not good (got cracking sound some more), the keypad is too big and cannot texting fast enuf, the battery life is poor (new but yet need to charge quite often), cannot put any picture on external display, no screensaver??? (weird), blocks some java applications, not user friendly, lagging..... the only thing i like about it are the design, colour, crispy LCD, camera is ok.. but its my second phone. for the price (Rm400~USD100), i think its just fine since i dont like texting, i dont listen to its mp3 player, nor using the camera. so, its good for second phone if u like the design. by the way, sony ericsson is the best for me...

  • I picked one up at a phone shop in the bottom of the QVB in Sydney...cost $35 with the CD

  • I am considering to buy this phone, but i am worried about the battery life and dropped calls i read about. Is it worthit to get?

  • How can I transfer my phonebook database from my KF300 to my pc, my screen is not working I have a USB datacable but no software please help

  • can you replace the LG symbol on the external lcd screen? i hate looking at it everytime i open it and it suddenly appears lol [this phones just a replacement till 2 weeks time when my new phone arrives]

  • Cheap looking, many spelling mistakes in my language, too big in every way and it's made from cheap plastic. Not wort 100 euros, not even close.

  • Don't laugh but it did took me a while and I couldn't figure out how to use the speaker phone until I read the response here (press OK after making the call). And yes, pressing it again does switch the call back and forth.

  • read specs of phones before you buy them

  • Speaker Phone: Make the call, push the 'ok' button (the one in middle of navagation)cheers!

  • How do you use the speakerphone on the LG KF300?? Thanks.

  • Yes, but wont work. you need 3g (2100mhz) to work

  • The problem with KF300 is it hangs quite often for no apparent reasons. LG should recall these phones and offer a system update to rectify this problem.

  • > I listened music or radio thru the factory earphone. Then someone called in. After answering the call, it could not switch back to the music player or radio. Do you experience the same problem? or just my KF300? Thanks in advance!

  • I used the memory card adapter, popped it in my computer and transfered mps rngtones and pictures with ease....You MUST format the memory card prior to any of this. the phone is nice, I have pink. It's ringer is loud, the buttons on the subscreen inside are convenient. The texting does SEEM slow but just type as you would, it catches up, really not that much slower than you type. I have had it for 3 days. Battery is good...and I open and close ALOT, plus lots of texting....I love it so far ONLY THING is I wish photocall would show on the outside screen =/ but its not a big deal Good phone for basics...checkin a few emails, texting and some music....I REALLY wanted the LOLLIPOP but its not comin to the US soooo this is good for now!

  • I am planning to get this phone, but is it true that it sucks when it comes with the keypad? Oh, then Im turned off to this phone. I am texter, i text all the time.

  • can this phone work in China?

  • can you put a chinese sim in this phone???

  • how do you put music on the KF300 im using a KU990 usb cable it says its commpatable but i cant connect to the computer with it

  • as an advice from a KF300 user... don't buy the phone, its very bad txting in its keypad is irratating plus its not good for heavy txting because i feel my fingers are faster than the phone response .. this is my First and Last LG ... people don't be fooled by the nice flip design.. waste of money ..

  • does this support mp4 video formats??

  • yes, u can send as many as u want . when u wan tot send ur text messages there will be options for u to send to many recepients.

  • Please can anybody tell me how to download music from my PC to my phone.When I plug in the USB cable a window pops up on the PC which,as far as I can see relates to pictures only.The pictures uploaded to my PC easily.

  • OMG!!i seriously hv the same probs like u..i've been using LG KF300 for only 3 mths and in this very moment the screen broke down~the battery is full but i can't see anything on the screen..just lights on the keypad~i'm going to take it for repair tonight..hopfully it'll be ok!!

  • after only 3 months of use, the LCD screen of my kf300 broke down. when i took it for repair, i saw the service guy holding a LG SLIDER phone and with the same problem as mine. by the way, there is only one LG mobile phone service center in the whole philippines and its very far. all i can say is this is my last LG phone.

  • I can lock my phone.

  • I just got this phone yesterday and i have to say... i am sooooo disappointed from LG !!! The phone looks great and style and all mine is a black colour but the main thing i am angry about is that the phone Doesn't have a lock password !!! which means any one could just dig in ur phone reading your messages and photos.. well there might be some idiots out there saying it does have but it doesn't really the only way to put a password is when u turn on ur phone and thats it other wise people will dig in ur photo's read ur messages use your phone which is not good!!! no sense of privacy LG :( the phone is nice but with no phone locks.. i give it 0/10

  • Hi, I'm In Qld. I got mine posted from this ebay seller in Hong Kong.'XellMore' Search this seller for the KF300 data cable on ebay au. BTW- ( I have no affiliation with this seller )

  • Can anyone help me find a USB data cable for the KF300.? Ebay shows some, but all in Hong Kong and some negative feedback noted. I live in NSW Australia

  • Yes it has voice recording.

  • this phone have a voice recorder?

  • i just buy it yesterday[pink]..i think it quiet good.. but i worried about the '2hours talk time..ohh gosh!'..anyway i love this phone..i hope its not going to hang..but,it looks like easy to scratch especially pink colour..i hope its not..

  • I have occasionally experienced this. I simply removed the usb cable and reinsert it a second time, then the connection between phone and computer is detected as removable disk F. Make sure you have an SD micro-card installed next to the battery as you cannot access the built in internal phone memory. (Well not as far as I know) BTW- Format the SD card in the phone before connecting it to your PC for the first time. This is what creates the needed folders you can't find. Hope that helps.

  • I have a problem in connecting the phone to the pc with the USB cable. I plug it in and it says connecting. But I couldn't find the phone folders from the pc. A few sec later the phone auto restarts. Help T__T

  • just wondering, can this phone be set to korean language or type in korean language like that lg kf350?

  • the phone has a very low battery life using mp3 player and playing games and using the camera the average time is just from 12 to 14 hours if you don't use the phone then it will hold battery for 2.5 days

  • im going to buy the lgkf300 but i dont know does it very good or no many comments i had seen it some of them say that it is very bad and some of them say that it is very good so if any body can tell me if it is good or not but he have to be very perfect in using mobile lg

  • there is no way to bypass the java security.... so many application cannot be used... in particular internet messaging is not allowed... gprs for wut??

  • Got the KF300 for 3 mths now. Luv it. But after a mth notice problems: 1. Hangs for no reason (good thing i can switch off phone n restart) and I have only three photos and 1 song in the phone! 2. Some saved tel contacts disappears fr contacts list. Currently using only 350 out of the 1000 possible. 3. Hard to sync w PC (using XP) 4. Lots of dropped calls of late 5. Pix are ok but not sharp if enlarged. Exposure is v good. 5. T9 - when I type "I've, You're, We'll" I get "I'Ve, You'Re, We'Ll". NB. I delete all my calls and appointment lists regularly for fear that it may overload system. In spite of all this, still love the phone. Hoping a trip to the repairman (under warranty) will solve some of these. Will update later.

  • I already bought this phone, has a standard features and stylish at low price, RM599...this is my first time buy the LG's product for mobile phone... Pros: Look nice (laser cut) and 9.5/10 for my rating. Cons: The button big that's ok, but not very comfortable Other thought: I love LG's mobile phone better than nokia(ex-nokia user), I definitely will not buy nokia mobile phone anymore...

  • To download photos to PC, Insert MicroSD card.. Buy it, and you can download photos.

  • lol, move the images/photos to memory card/micro SD, and connect the phone in the PC with the USB cable, or use a bluetooth conection with the pc. :)

  • Hey guyz! I'm thinking of buying this phone and I was thinking if u can lock the messages with a password.

  • wow, you're after a G400 too! its really hard to get stock yeah, and pretty pricey too

  • can't download photos to PC . told problem with software ?? hopeless !

  • I'm transfering (music, photo, sound and from flash memory vise-versa)files with bluetooth. Easier for me, but if I want to play with the phonebook I think I need the usb data cable...I will try to find a way for it if I can...I'll post the results here...don't wory...

  • The best way to upload your music and pics is through a data cable available off ebay. It takes around 10 days to arrive from Hong Kong, but is cheap as chips. Also you will need to buy a sd mirco card (2 gig about $15 Au dollars) which inserts next to the battery. Then format the card in the phone before you use it or connect it to your computer. Then connect the cable to your pc, then copy and paste your music into the sounds folder, photos into the photo folder ect. It is quite a good phone for the money they all have issues some more than others! Enjoy..

  • this phone is actually is nice to use coz the fonts is big enough and the ring tone quite loud.. is actually consider very good for this basic phone. Just i dont understands why this phone when u wanna transfer pictures or songs u must use data cable..i try using memory card adaptor it doesn't works. =) any comment abt this?

  • i have been a samsung user before and decide to buy this one coz samsung seems to be concentrating more on slider phone than fold type phone which i prefer. but after just using this phone for about 2 weeks, i would say that samsung is really better both in features and workmanship. there is no loudspeaker in this phone, the battery sucks and the games also, there is no simple black colord font for dialing style, and sometimes the answering mode malfunction so when you set it at flip open and someone calls, it won't function and i have just been using this for barely 2 weeks. this is my last LG phone. Going back to samsung if they can only lower the price of their G400! :)

  • the battery life of this phone is not good becoz u cannot turn off the animated wallpaper which you can do with samsung and nokia phone. Anyway, does anyone know where i can download free games for this phone? tnx.

  • Hi zapatazuparta, please update me the phone standby time for this phone as I may be buying also.

  • I received the phone today and I think this is the best phone I ever had and the futures are more than enough for me. Text sizes are adjustable, very clear and big . Easy to use phone and the phone is really fast. I just use the phone for calling and sending messages rearly. It has more futures than I need. The 2 MP camera is more than enough for emergencies.Anyway all cameras in phones are just a nice to have futures (I'm a photographer).I recommend this phone to everybody and specially for oldies like me. I'm gonna buy one for my wife next month. Battery life... I will see while I use it. I think I'm gonna keep this phone till it dies....

  • the name and number of caller doesnt appear on the surface of the phone, instead the time? aiks that's a waste! =(

  • I just ordered this baby...As a oldie, I liked the large text option. Looks like easy to use...

  • this phone is for girls only coz the dialing display have all this sorts of designs but not a simple black color display. Anyway, i think the camera does not have zoom feature.

  • How is the standby and talk time ??? WEB and catalog has diffrence infomation!!! Please feedback.

  • how much does the handphone charger costs?

  • sleek looking phone but it hangs at times

  • specs stated able to play wma files but thats not true....

  • I am tinking of buying this phone for my mother x mas present. is the incomming ring tone loud and is it easy to use??

  • I wonder why the LG KF300 only has a 2.2" screen and the NTT DoCoMo version (L706ie) has a 2.4" screen.

  • good phone... but shouldnt there b install disc and cable or do i have 2 pay 4 things like ...?just tryn 2 put my music and pics... please obi 1 help me

  • um where s the usb cable? is it supposed to come with it?

  • Bought this phone today, a few days after I saw it in the shop. Been doing a some research before buying it. I strongly recommend KF300 to anyone who wishes to get a phone with big, clear letters, plenty of features like voice recorder, video, camera, MP3 and so on. My verdict - Excellent phone, marvellous investment.

  • yes,it support chinese lang.

  • its very good da colour i choose is black,it have got various controllers .its very easy to use than nokia,it have got different functions

  • does this phone support chinese?

  • We use this phone in my store. Its the best LG Ive used yet. The camera is good, so I would definitely suggest it. However you can not take photos with it when it is shut like the Motorolas.

  • how's the video quality and the picture quality? is it good? cause i'm thinking of wanna buy it at the end of this month...can u gv me some advise bout this phone? thankx ya :>

  • Do you guys know how to upload other swf wallpaper? Thanks for your concern and help.

  • Do you guys know how to upload other swf wallpaper? Thanks for your concern and help.

  • How is the call quality? Can the person on the other end hear you clearly and crisp?

  • The one that I bought did not come with a memory card but this is not a very big issue since micro SD cards are quite affordable nowsadays. The phone flips open very smoothly, no problem at all :)

  • does this phone come with a memory card? if so, how much? also, i like the look of this handset but the flip looks a little flimsy since it is such a skinny phone. is this so? are there any issues with the flip?

  • wow this is like the new V3 razor from LG.. :P

  • The box comes with a USB cable to transfer files like pics and music from computer to phone and vice versa. To turn the loudspeaker on during a call, press the central 'OK' button during a call and the loudspeaker will spring into action. Pressing the same button again switches the loudspeaker off :)

  • i bought this lg today ,it has data cable and tehe headset is cool,cause you can change it,,,,,,,

  • I have been using this phone for about a month. Got a pink one and found it really beautiful. Very satisfied with its performance. It has many shortcut keys so going to the often-used functions is very quick and easy. The music quality is good too.

  • It have autofocus camera or not??

  • I have an LG shine before and I still have the USB cable for transferring photos and music it works with LG KF300 as well. As for the phone volume, you can simply go to profiles and you will see the option to turn on the volume or you can also use the side buttons on the left.

  • Battery: Stand-by Up to 450 h Talk time Up to 5 h 45 min.

  • is this the phone used in IRONMAN by Terrence Howard?

  • Hi guys! I'd like to know how many events I can save to calendar. I read somewhere that there can be only 100:-/ I hope it's mistake...And I have same question as many of you: What about battery? How long it stand? And last question: Has it EDGE? Cause I found somewhere it has only GPRS... Ok..that is all;-) Thank's for replies

  • Hi Guys, Just to clear your doubt, 2 hours talk time is nonsense, I have used it for a day with some messaging and music, battery still remain full bar.Cable, software cd and head set all included in the set. Price here in Singapore is at SGD 268 with a bottle of wine. Transfer data from phone to pc could be done by USB cable or Bluetooth. Go for the manual to understand more.

  • How do you transfer data eg photos from the phone to the computer?? Does LG have a usb cable for this phone? How do you turn on the speaker part of the phone? Thanking you in advance

  • Hello to all! - I want to know how many days lasts in standby this phone (is the battery good?) - Who bought it? - Did you receive data cable, software cd and head set? - How much did you pay for it? EUROS or US DOLLARS. Thank you for your answers in advance.

  • Can you please make this phone available sooner than later in the U.S.A. I can't waite for it.

  • I have bought this phone 3 days ago and I am vquiet happy so far. Mine is of brown color, so looks really good and stylish. +very user friendly +very good sound, +good quality of pictures The only minus I have noticed so far is that you there are a lot of finger tips on external screen - you must clean it quiet often.. but that's not such a big minus, is it? :) well after using it for longer time I promise to put here more coments... If any questions, you can write me to [email protected]
