LG KM900 Arena - User Reviews

  • Had this phone in late 2010. I have had the Viewty and Renoir and switched from a BlackBerry Curve. It felt awesome to be back in team LG!! I remember being so goal oriented and dedicated to my job to save up and get this phone lol Going from the first three phones above to the Arena was a mixed feelings. Hated losing Multitasking, IM and Emails from the BlackBerry as well as the music keys! The Renoir has a fantastic Camera for pictures and video! The arena felt like a downgrade. However the Arena has a music player that sounded heavenly. And the storage was 8GB built in! The Arena also didn’t have issues with memory cards the way Renoir and Viewty did! But I stuck it out for 8 months before I cracked my Arena!!!! Great phone!! My fallen little soldier!! I ended up going with the iPhone 3GS afterwards

  • This has a really high pixel density!

  • i am hav problem with my wifi

  • how can i open my wifi it keep repeating it self no network

  • Writing to pay respect to this phone and I plan to buy LG K10 this week - latest phone by LG. In 2009 I purchased this phone it's still with me intact no damage - unable to get the battery replaced. In 2009 - it had 5 MP camera and a secondary camera as well - there was no selfie term famous but we used to take lot of our pictures using secondary camera. Good memory and it had FM radio / Music player as well. If I remember correctly then it was coined as iPhone killer in 2009.

  • Came back to pay it respect. This phone was pretty rocking, had 8GB or storage, 3.5mm jack, and music sounded sweet with Dolby surround. The camera did feel like a downgrade though but it wasn't bad at all very impressive just a bit grainy compared to the LG Renoir. Also the battery was incredibly weak, it did not last and took a good while to charge. I would recommend this phone however it is obviously outdated now hehe, texting was somewhat painful because of the keyboard at times it would shift and it was a bit slow. The phone itself ran very smooth and it had an impressive amount of third party java apps that would run very good like Facebook, IM+ and eBuddy. Email app was decent, browser was laggy but could get the job done, worked better in Opera Mini. I loved this phone it looked very stylish however the Black Arena was made out of cheap plastic and the Silver Arena was made of some metallic material that felt cool and tougher and looked better. Wish a 2015 version of Arena existed haha, I would totally buy it. This phone became very damaged. After many drops the touchscreen was not responsive one one side. The charger no longer works and the battery is very weak. Great phone overall I really loved it

  • does it have android

  • batery is very weak

  • I've used this phone for a year.. it one of the best phone in the year 2009 and was launched to compete iPhone one.. It's gonna be 2015 soon and this phone cannot complete now even with the low range android phone except for its great display, styling, superb sound quality and camera.. It was a great phone for taking pictures, listening to music and watching movies then. It does not have any OS like android,etc as Android wasn't launched or accepted by phone manufacturers.. This is a Java phone which will only support Java application.. Whatsapp or any other android application is not supported.. Battery is just 1000mah which is less than the basic low range android phones so don't expect this phone to run for too long. Can't stand even for full 12 hours if you continuously keep poking the display for some reason or watch videos for too long.. But seriously it was a great phone then in the year 2009 to use and used to attract everyone's attention when you watch videos while traveling as touch screen phones wasn't too famous then.. Hopes this helps.. Thank you

  • I have a question. can I use it by English version and Korean version? Please answer me!!!

  • This phone is very weak in browsing the internet. It freezes a lot. Very slow, what ever you want to do with it. The alarmclock never works. But 2 things are good. The camera and the desing of the phone.

  • I'm about to buy a smartphone but my uncle is oferring my this phone. Should I get my uncle's phone or should I buy the smartphone?

  • which type of version in this phone, just like symbian,window or android? ????

  • Guys, please realize that this is NOT a smartphone but a feature phone.It can do certain things at its own pace. You can't expect a goat to perform like a bull. You can't also customize it like an Android. Its strengths are: camera,FM transmitter and audio player.Don't use it for calling or internet.Keep a charger handy wherever you go. Then you should be fine. Put your SIM in a basic 1500 rupee phone and it will serve you better.

  • You Need To Upgrade The Firmware. Then You Will Be Able To Use Google,Youtube Or Gmail

  • i love this mobile. I use this. But i can not ply google maps. Any on tell me how i can use it? Plzzz..

  • I had this handset back in 2010, I remember andriods were more expensive than now and this was the best OS I could afford. If I compare it to the affordable androids in the market now this OS is a let down. Hardware is simply the best and it has a great camera, everything except the OS was perfect.

  • in my mobile it will not functioning, lg km 900 to be create a problem. that will be switch on the mobile and it will automatically switch off. then i am go to give my mobile in a lg service centre, they tell that problem cost to be 8000.00Rs IN INDIAN country. i am buy the mobile after 6 months ago. what i do

  • it is very a good smart phone. i have been using this for past 2years. it hangs some time. very easy just restart the phone. good camera. i haven't used it as a modemn. gooles map, games, mp3, mp4 works fine. only thing u need to get used to it. very good battery life. twice i went to LGservice centre to reset to factory setting since the music player didn't work. widge works very fine.

  • This mobils has A-GPS.... the main purpose of A-Gps is when the GPS sensors will not found at the point You, that time it will work via mobile networks only... this is called A-Gps... when your mobile retriving Gps satelite then it'll work via Gps.... Note: ur mobile found morethan 4 satelites means it'll work efficiently or else u have to dowmload some Gps application softwares like digitalspeedometer, navigator, etc.,

  • Specs are wrong! Had this phone for over a year - there's no GPS, just the Google Maps app that requires a data connection to be available (Wi-Fi or 3G).

  • please remove screen guard from sensors ,

  • remove the sticker from surface. i think it will be fine.

  • what os?lg?

  • when i call any mobile disply light off till end the call.that time yes & no battone dnt work.what can i do now?

  • Why can't i play videos from youtube in my LG KM900

  • in all big ups to lg.indeed it is a good product from lg but the streangth of the battery is poor.

  • Awsome fone to use. great features, camera and internal memory. Good Work LG. keep making such things...

  • Look battery talk time - it explains everything . It is 4hours . ONLY . It is bad , it have low ram what makes it hang and work slow ( what was the point giving it 8mb ram ONLY ? Processor speed is about 500-600MHz , what is too much for 8ram . Watching movies on it with brightness will kill battery fast , it have huge resolution and much of functions for that low battery . I do not regret buying this phone , but I bough it only because Samsung Wave 723 was out of stock . That is better phone I think in some way , mostly because battery last about 3x more .

  • I have recently purchased the KM900 which was off for min 5 months with nearly dead battery, I tickle charge the batter with desktop charger, and now its working crazy. I can see continue 3 hours movie with full screen brightness and after that its still has 2 signals left. LG ...............awesome phone, great features

  • Just bought this phone . It hanged one time , but it dont seem to be hanging more . It is not the super fast smartphone / android , but still it is nice . Camera quality is good , video too . Better do not overuse focus change - it hanged my phone . Battery looks fine . Cube design in pretty useless but at normal view menu is ok . qwerty keyboard in pretty small ( for my fingers ) , so there are some mistakes when typing fast , but classic keyboard is fine and responding nice . Have not tested gps , it have PDF viewer what is working fine , screen is responsible , but there are fingerprints on it all the time . At height light screen is not best , but still visible . Design looks solid , currently looks like nice phone .

  • Had this phone about 2yrs now and stil workin' fine! I upgraded the OS to iRena 7 with awesome iPhone icons! Looking at newer phones, this phone sucks in performance i'd rate it 4 out of 10. It had a 32GB microSD with about 90% used space, this phone lags all d time especially opening photos of more than 3000 pictures with all d albums combined! Videos and Music worked fine! Camera works perfectly fine in daylight outdoors but sucks worse in low light especially indoor light! Sometimes file transfer from on-board memory to microSD and vice-versa is troublesome like moving larger video files from phone memory to external memory causes severe file errors! It's a pain in the ass most of the time! Phone speaker has the best audio quality and strength when playing HD multimedia. The bigger downside is that this phone lacks voice dialling and voice commands. LG KM900 cannot be rendered as a quality basic high-end touchscreen S-Class LG flagship.

  • Is battery so bad as it sounds ? So as all smart features are not my priority - good camera , durability and gps make this phone nice for me . Only problem is battery and performance ...

  • This LG KM900 Arena is the worst phone I've ever had. Cannot get hardly any games on it. Its slow and some buttons in the software just stop working. The touch sensitivity is and has been fading fast and another friend had one and said it stopped after 2 years. I wish I'd never gotten this phone. Usability is bad - texting can take ages - and the magnifier often chooses the wrong line so I have to delete parts of messages in order to edit a long text - sooo bad!! Dont anyone get this phone.

  • I'm using this crappy phone for 1year now..., oh man! I don't know how I've stayed with this, may be I'm just ignoring a confusing thing. it crashes time to time and you have to put out battery, no other way. GPS is useless, camera is not what people say in review, really poor quality. Battery has a very short life, It's a record ig you can use the phone for listening music or browsing the web for 4+ hours... TRUST ME, NEVER, NEVER,NEVER BUY A LG PHONE. waste of money :|

  • i want to buy it

  • touchscreen doesn't always work, phone freezes and locks up all the time. very slow response times, always malfunctions, avoid, avoid, avoid!

  • I have this crappy handy since 2 years and my advice is - STAY AWAY from KM900. List with the problems is too long to list it here. - Battery - CPU speed - GPS - Slow camera - missing FW updates (official) - Too many bugs in the FW (hangs, restarts) - Internet browsers - G-Sensor - Media playes (video/audio) and so on...

  • i want to sale my lg arena with 2 gp memory card charger.10/10...on 12000.only serious buyers will contact me.

  • Lg km900arena is better.

  • This phone's down side is the bad OS which in most of the cases it crashes and needs restart. If this had Android, it would have been one of the best ever. Up Sides: Amazing 16M colors display with 311ppi pixel density that never scratches Dolby Mobile 8GB internal + microSD up to 32GB :)) MP4/DivX/XviD/WMV support Wi-Fi GPS, google maps + google street view etc...... If you have a good pair of headphones, this phone is an amazing sound experience. p.s. sorry for my bad english

  • i thinks lg km900 is better, coz this is iphone breaker, great deal for km900.... choice is yours!

  • This phone hang too easy! Sometimes you cannot pickup an incoming call; you have to turn off and on again to resume normal. It cannot play a 3GP video record by itself, is it rediculous? It plays only avi, mp4 but not wmv.

  • mylg km 900 areana was display shivaring this phone please solve this problem

  • a very good phone. I really enjoy with its 8GB memory. Plus with my 16GB memory card. Music + video = entertaintment happiness. I dont see negative with my phone. Just love what you have and youll be happy with it.

  • my lg km900at_v10b started freezing soon after i bought it from dubai. i thought the freezing or hanging or screen was attributed to 100 sms's stored. now it hangs all the time... it does not click where i touch and it is really annoying... i have done my research...and i am yet to find a single positive review.... lg km900at_v10b is a hoax i will never ever in my life time by an lg phone ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am a frustrated, and disgusted user... lg phone never ever again!!!!!

  • the only problem i have with this unit is everytime i insert any kind of headset,, it automatically calls/dial the last contact in my history.. ex.the last person to txt me/or last larson i texted.. any headset same case,, it would stop if i remove the headseet.. so anyone with same dilemma?

  • how to keep LG Arena work fine: -never use low quality memory card, it makes heat problem -never change your usim card with other from different provider (freeze, restart, auto turn off problem) -never download trial version apps -if have freeze, auto turn off, restart problem, try 3X factory reset -if have screen problem while calling mode, recalibrate the proximity sensor more than 2 years since purchased it, still works fine

  • I used to have a good opinion about this phone until the 2nd month after I bought it. Sometimes it freezes, touchscreen problems, it won't open large doc and pdf files, among others.

  • I have a Samsung F 480i.Its work fine.But i want to change my phone. I want to sell LG KM 900 Arena. Is it will be good decision for change Samsung F480i and bring LG KM900 Arena? Which phone is good, Samsung F480i or LG KM900 ARENA? Plz answer me and help me........ Thanks

  • many problem lcd, touch.

  • very nice phone @ cheap price.excellent phone with so many features....

  • the processor inside is really slow... specially when moving from one screen to the next one

  • I used this mobile, hanging problem,battery backup poor

  • I have used it for one year.It is a good phone

  • its totally bullshit...........pls dont uy or get it. it has frequent hanging problem and became so heat.

  • the lg km900 is a very beautiful phone. I have used it for 6 months now. one peculiar problem it has is its frequent hanging and besides that, the battery life is very poor. I need something with a better battery life of about 9hrs talk time.

  • great phone

  • yes good camera,

  • best for ever

  • excellent phone.so many features for low price

  • yeah i know, they are shit as! and mine cost like 7 50! there goooood sometimes. but always freezzze. WASTE OF MONEEEY ae!

  • yup remove the protector frist thn turn it on its tha great phone i have ever seen.

  • been using this crappy mobile for abt 4 months today slammed on the wall..it keeps freezing, going nuts,poor responsiveness,worst firmware..no batt standby time,, nothing good abt it, except display clarity!! dnt buy this stuff!!

  • 1st day i bought it,it freezed,i need to switch it each time to restart.impossible to use,cant even enter pin code

  • Its the screen guard troubling u...remove the screen guard that covers the screen sensor in the left top of the screen....

  • Try youtube using youtube apps....its working...

  • The problem you are facing is due to the screen guard or may be...I'm not sure but I faced the same problem...remove the screen guard and try making calls....if it works then put a new screen guard and make sure the screen guard does't cover the sensors in the screen...

  • It is packed with so many cool features like silent recording, music is awesome and that's the only reason I cant get rid of this phone. Easily heats up on long calls and internet usage so batt drains in 8 hours. LG should seriously consider releasing a better version of this phone KM 900...touch is great but heats up..

  • cant we set picture on the menu backfround

  • I've had this phone for a few months. It is packed with functionality and style, but it's no good at the basic things you would expect from a phone. - it hangs randomly, even if you are not doing anything. - it will randomly indicate "emergency calls only" until you turn it off and remove the battery. - display has excellent definition, but is is completely useless outdoors (and not even in direct sunlight), goes completely black. - battery lasts at most 2 days if you use the phone moderately. - veeery sloooow phone. It is tedious to wait seconds for anything you want to do. Could it be the firmware version? Anyway the software app. or the LG website don't offer any true help on firmware upgrade. - the phone locks when you are holing it next to your ear, which is correct, but if you need to dial an extension, unlocking it is too slow and complicated. - camera is good and with many configuration options, but it will fire the flash even if you tell it not to. It will hang every now and then. Bottom line: really disappointed. I will go for something with less features but more stable, fast and easy to use.

  • how do you make a new bacround

  • change your mobile charger and get the orginal

  • This phone has good hardware spects though the OS could be better. Wish i could port android to my KM900

  • I really love this unit, it's worth of and this Rocks!

  • i cannot use my phone during charging.. it will "hang" has anyone got same problem?

  • I used dis fone 4 a week,no long b4 the fone fell inside the water,immediately i remove the battery n then spread the fone.it took some time b4the fone could switch on back.fortunately i switch it on and it worked but it didnt receive any sim card again,only the lg switch on logo was on it and that bothers me a lot.I decided to visit an engineer to help me repair the fone,Its been 7 months now since the fone as been with the engineer.they said the fone need some software and can been downloaded on their website,till now i have not heard any thing from the engineer concerning my fone.please help me solve my problem.

  • hi, you need to calibrate the proximity sensor to solve the problem.

  • i have been using this phone for 3 months without any problems and now the light goes off when i call someone or someone call me,ihad the phone factory resetted twice but it is not working.any ideas?

  • At first glance, this phone seems very interesting, but when you use go through and use it for a couple of weeks, the faults and weaknesses start to appear. Its camera takes reasonable photos just in a pretty light environment. Its flash is nothing but a flashlight! It runs slowly which is bothersome in finding and calling a contact. However the music and video play quality is good. Totally, I'm not satisfied with this phone and I wish I made a better choice!!

  • worst phone i ever had used in my life. battery back up is very poor, phone hangs most of the times,lot of lagging duirng functionality, doesn't een support 8 gb sd card. overall performance of the phone is worst. i would rate 2/10. never go for any of the lg phones. they are not made to make phones.

  • it was one of the best phone released in its time. it was even called one of the i phone killers .there only a few phones which had an fm transmitter and a 3d cube display this was all 2 years ago when the touch phone lifestyle was emerging . i am a proud owner of this phone although it had its flaws cause its a Java os . it is a beautiful work of machine and had its own elegance.

  • Its a rather poor as a phone and I stopped using it as a my primary phone due to its freezing / hanging / loss of signal.. Now I only use it for its camera and music player which are rather good. 5mp resolution, built-in memory and good video capability. Also like its FM transmitter which feeds into hi-fi and car systems.Reason I picked it was it came very cheap at stock clearance price.

  • I cannot open youtube videos in my km900.. ,how about the other users?

  • When i was getting this phone from the telco, the first two brand-new phones that the staff open up to show me were not working! I shld had change my mind and look for other made/model, but at that time, this phone was a high-end phone with good deal. So i was fooled to get it. The next thing was the battery couldn't last long. :( The phone response was slow. It took about 2 to 3 seconds after selecting the function, to get to the next screen. Many a times, i was wondering whether the phone hang as there was no indication that it was loading the function. For past few months, another problem surfaced. Sometimes, the phone juz cannot b use for calls and sms, although it was not hang. It has to be turned off-on and it worked again. LG KM900 Arena is an old model. Look elsewhere for a better one. If you still seriously considering whether to get this phone, juz ask yourself this: "Is my life miserable?" If the answer is yes, no, or anything in between and beyond, then don't make it worse!

  • I'm only joking! LG is better than x3-02 but nokia x6 is the slightly better!

  • Trust me, this phone is better than iPhone 3GS! I know, hard to believe but once you check out the specs you'll be astonished by it. LG KM900 is better. The pixels on the 3GS is lower. LG KM900 is 480*800. It's got a secondary camera and lot's more!

  • how much did you buy this phone?and where?

  • I just bougt this phone two days ago (I know, it's a 2009 phone and it's not even a smartphone) and to me it's AWESOME. Not good, not excelent. It's AWESOME. But if I have to mention the biggest negative point, it's not in the handset itself but in the bundled software: The "DivX Mobile Converter": The guys at DIVX can't do anything well. They created that piece of crap that would find any excuse to prevent you from using it. First, the missing dpv11.dll. Solved. Then, the missing DivX codec! The help page doesn't help at all. Tried installing the codec, no luck. LG did his part OK, but the guys and gals at DivX are not doing their job. What a piece of crap. It's a good thing we don't have to pay for it, otherwise I would ask my money back!

  • set is very good. i like it

  • ive been using this modl for over a year now... i enjoy its camera, very well appreciated.. it was like an ipod to me, i enjoy its high memory that i can watched movies in high definition and quality sounds.. browsing is a little slow... shuts down whenever a voice call will be made on some areas.... but was ok on some....

  • I don't recommend this phone.. i've used this phone for a years, it make me crazy.. it turn off by itself, slow, and if you open a PDF file, the note "not enough memory" will appear.

  • I give this phone a 5 out of ten. The features to the phone is great. It has its good tendancys but I wouldnt highly recomend. I have had the phone turn off while in use. Sometimes it takes a while to connect with wi-fi internet connections. Cant download many things to the phone. Cant upload pics to my sight. Can only save certain apps to the phone. Cant download music or movies or pics unless its connected to the usb chord onto the comp or bluetooth, and even bluetooth is not recognised to certain phones, comps.

  • im from the philippines i had an LG KM900 phone and it really sucks!the middle and lower part of its touch screen is not working..can anyone help me solve this problem?

  • try to recalibrate the proximity sensor to fix blank screen while calling. use search opinion with keyword proximity to find out how to do it. hope this helps...

  • Hi Sten, reference to your comt' 1-28-11, can you tell me where I can get that "Asian firmware"? Can it be done on line? Thks in advance.

  • i think its not a big problem because am also have this same problem, u just try this,remove screen guard from the sensor,it is in left top of the display

  • I don't recommend this phone... 5/10 score, it does have somethings going for it considering the cost. It's proprietary S-Class 3D interface/OS is unstable and not enough to make the natural resources spent on the build of the phone worth the use, it's not very customizable and you get sick of it quick too. You get what you pay for, and unfortunately this holds true for it has potential but wasted due to many flaws. Not everything is perfect, and this needs to be thought of when reviewing specifications on everything these days, just cause it has a spinning cube don't make it revolutionary or an iPhone 3G with a different look. All touchscreens use lots of battery, but the life on this one is far less than satisfactory. Therefor after all consideration and debate, it is going to a bottom draw. It may re-emerge in the unlikely event that the new HTC Desire S I'm about to get fails me. Sorry LG but your phone sucked, but I did buy one of your TV's a few weeks ago.

  • Hi every one i have a question , please answer me : 1- I have a brochure for arena km900 phone and was written of about the power of processor is (INFINEON 8G3H/AMD259) (I wondering : what does this mean) 2-about the firmware i have (v10j_00) and i would to upgrade it to (v10p_00), do you recommended me at this ...

  • yes it have, this for arab country.

  • Hi, I m from India nd want to know, should i buy l.g arena km 900 or not? If not then what is its prblm please give me detail abt its feature nd prblm.

  • Does this phone have a updated version in the market. If it has then wat's the price of it?

  • This is easily the worst phone i have ever owned... don't buy one!!! if you get given one throw it away. Most user UNfriendly phone... useless.

  • I agree with the opinion of quesobiak. It's very slow :(

  • its one year I'm using arena and I have to say... It's not what you except from hardware and 'multimedia device' ads. If you are a normal user then I'll recommend this phone cuz of adapted price and some good things like screen, camera, int storage, ui... But I'm really dissapointed with km900, I have to accept, it's not a smart phone! You should like sound quality

  • good looks good features and main very good price range......................

  • This phone may be fine but ATT had LG re-do this phone for them and It sucks! Its the LG Arena GT950 from ATT and ATT had them take out the memory (only 2gb and only upgradeable to 16gb with memory card), they removed the 3.5 jack and only has a micro usb port for charging and for headphones except there are no headphones compatible with this version (GT950) and every place I have gone to will has never heard of the LG Arena GT950 or they think that the GT950 and the KM900 are compatible and they are not at all. ATT took out all of the good features and left this phone a crippled mess. The LG Arena KM900 and GT950 aren't even the same size! I found that out the hard way ordering phone covers. The GT 950 de-calibrates itself, sends emails and calls people(even when locked) all by itself, often loses signal especially with ATT TV, and cannot view any flash (so no streaming) and won't even enter certain sites (like Pandora). Large web pages that I can view on other phones, cannot even be viewed fully, they are turned into text files. My LG Arena GT950 is not the exception, it's the rule. My first generation RAZR and KRAZR get much, much better reception and move faster. So, to finish, get the Arena KM900 at your own risk, but DO NOT RISK getting the Arena GT950. I started looking for a new phone after 3 months.

  • Ive been using this phone for 1.5 years and this thing is driving me crazy, the ui is slow the internet is slow and the options are very limited. if i were you i would get a cheap andriod phone in stead of this one.

  • arena has all the features that nokia n8 has....only prob is it doesnt have an OS...but JAVA isnt all bad.i play angry birds and control my laptop from my LG ARENA....it also has an FM TRANSMITTER.....which other handsets has fm transmitter as well as hd video and capacitve screen...just search on gsm arena and u will onely see n8 and km900.... TRUST THIUS PHONE IS AWESOME

  • Is it dual sim dual standby phone?

  • the camera for mine is very bad but its written 5.0 mega pixels. I cant advise anyone to buy that phone.

  • what is the ram of LG km 900 because my phone is too slow

  • Pls let me know how can i watch tv from this phone

  • its strange that is sooo good phone but costs only 120euros hmmmm 5mpix wi fi tv 8gb good touch good sound quality good video recording quality but only 120euros really strange =)

  • lg arena is next generation phone.you can get all amazinig feature from it.3" display and 16Mb colour.120fps video with 750*700 pixel.slow motion video with 30fps.wide screen and 3D interface.lg arena has 8gb internal memori.this phone is so so cool.......

  • i am in brunei.. and i already purchased this phone 2 months ago. overall. its a good phone with good price too.

  • Hello Mirza, in many countries this model is already phase out, why not go for LG Optimus One, its already Android version 2.0 Froyo firmware, Here in the Philippines it cost Php 12,500- more or less.

  • Hello nemesonic, I have this model for almost 1 1/2 years now, its a little buggy but full of features, here in the Philippines this model is consider phase out, my advise is go for the LG Optimus One, it got Android 2.0 Froyo firmware and better command execution than the LG Arena, in moderate use the Optimus One can have battery life of 2 to 3 days, on the Arena probably 1 to 2 days battery life is a weakness on this phone, on camera Arena had 5MP and Optimus One had 3MP but u can't tell the different pics taken on both phones, here the phone price at Php 12,500- I think this is the cheapest Android phone on the market. Cheers.

  • Very good phone

  • I use these phone for 2yr wht any problem

  • hey im from malaysia too and i really want to get this phone. i was wondering if its a good phone and if its worth getting it as im still a student. thanks.

  • that s grate phone best video camera best soun quality wifi and gps and titan body 8 gigs memory 5 mp photocamera hd video recording fm transmeter amazing phone

  • Hi.. I'm from Malaysia too. K.L. area.. Act, I want to know where I can the latest firmware for this phone?? Hope u can help me..

  • Verry bugy phone. Don't buy it!!! It hangs, mp3 player stops working ramdomly, it shuts down randomly... and many many MANY other bugs!!!

  • Where can I download the new software of this phone?

  • this phone really sucks. I used it about a year and couple months. I am totally dissapointed about it. The only feature that was cool was the VIDEO camera and music. Excelent videos. I had encountered problems ever since I bought it. I had start up problems, phone freeze, the phone would turn off in my pocket, and finally it doesn't start up anymore. haha... I'm interested in buying LG Optimus 2X, but I am not sure whether I should trust LG again.

  • VERY crappy phone, freezes all the time!!! Battery drains fast. And the software tools that come with it are a big pile of SHIT. Back to Nokia for me!!!!

  • upgrade the version to v10x its the best version

  • I just got the unlock phone LG KM900 arena ... how can I turn on the 3G Network from AT&T

  • yes it can record phone conversation but only after the line has been picked up. FM recording I don't think so..

  • The Arena is made from good quality material and looks quite stylish. I like the shape and the shiny metal body. But in term of functionality, there are a few drawbacks. 1)Quite often the touchscreen became unresponsive or response in the wrong touch key, quite irritating indeed when you need to make an urgent call eg. you touch no 3 but no 9 that came out. 2)When you want to dial a number, there was a significant lag of response time thus making dialling error more common. 3)The earphones were rather minimalist and one side of it failed to function after few months of usage despite of seldom being used. 4)Photo shooting also not good for moving subject. Your subject have to stay still until the camera is triggered otherwise you will get a blurred photo. 5)If you make a long phone call, the set easily get hot (maybe because of the good heat conductivity of the metal body)making your ear to perspire and wet the phone.

  • can i know the market price of this mobile ?

  • can i know the market price of this mobile ?

  • mobile9.com

  • now i also used lg km900 arena but i have so many problem alweys freezing i cant play the you tube and the battery is not longer but may need somthing to make it easier to use

  • To find your FM transmitter: Press on the Icon Press on . In order to hear the sound, if your FM transmitter is set on 87.5, set the other device radio on 87.5 and then press . You're ready to go.

  • its a good mobail

  • How or from where do you download games and applications for this phone?

  • Are you a Student? If the answer is yes, I would suggest you to get a different type of phone. The LG KM900 is a headache. Don't waste your time spending your money on that particular phone. I already have enough. Enough is enough.

  • Hmm....i use the phone ... Its amazing ..touch response is actually good .. u need to use a scratch guard though..

  • I have my LG KM900 but all working properly. perfect design by LG.

  • this phone is awful !!! the touch doesnt work, it freezes all the time! the battery is dead after 4 or 5 hours since you charged it. Another problem is the camera! the flash led doesnt work neither since when u take a picture in the dark the result is a black screen, the same happens with the video! Absolutely terrible!!!!

  • Worse phone I've ver used. Lags heavily and web browsing is a real issue. Have to render web page by sliding finger hard on screen. Real problem if you're on the go. Freezes often battery life is inadaquate. Another mediocre product poorly designed by LG. S hame on you. Currently stashed away as a spare. I would strongly reccommend any LG Android handset though.

  • tools > FM Transmitter

  • in km900 where is radio transmiter

  • i would suggest u go for km900 arena rather than w995.i have used it both but arena is better with its touch screen and fm transmitter...w995 is really old and slider gets crapped up if u use it a lot....overall arena...just install the latest update and ur good to go

  • hi everyone, KM900 is one of the best phones i ever used, its fast and better than any nokia touchscreen. all u have to need is the latest software version. i am using V10X (T-Mobile)

  • @manan & Sam both cases i do faced before, i think the latest firmware/software update do help you to solve it. IMO, UK latest firmware v10P is a stabled firmware but it maybe still not perfect! but it does not has Chinese language, I'm from Malaysia, so i do flash my firmware to Singapore latest firmware v10H. Still running good but with small bugs that not a big deal for me. hope it helps. Good Lucks!

  • totally the best phone ive ever had. i like tha 8gb mem coz i can store my fav movies n muzik videos. the camera is very clear n video confrencing is fabulous. thx 2lg.

  • better u can buy nokia 5233

  • After less than a year I sold back this phone because the review of GSM arena was not as accurate as it was. I traded it in for a used Nokia E71 and was way happier with it. My arena would hang at least 2x a day where I would have to take the battery out. It would slow down so much that I removed most of my music just so it wouldn't lag. Things I liked: 1. Build quality 2. Camera quality 3. Screen resolution 4. Compact and solid Things I didn't like: 1. Hangs everyday 2. Software updates...nonexistent. I only got ONE update for the whole year that I owned it (june 2009-may 2010) 3. S-Class OS is a disgrace. Very buggy, non-user friendly and no app support! 4. 3D cube...errr ok... the faces of the cube dont even change to what's actually on my home screen. 5. Hard to text - laggy and inconsistent. 6. My arena broke down in less than a year. Motherboard had to be replaced. Good thing it was still under warranty. 7. SLOW SLOW SLOW!!! 8. Resale value sucks. i was only able to trade it in at 1/4 it's brand new cost simply because there was no demand for it and it would be hard to sell at a higher price. I read a post here from someone saying that replacing the arena with the Galaxy S is pointless. ARE YOU KIDDING?! I've gone through the arena, 3GS, iphone4, and galaxy S and whoever said that obviously does not know what he's talking about. It's like comparing a VW beetle to a Porche 911 Turbo! So in a nutshell: AVOID!

  • Never ever use LG Mobile in u r life u r life will be miserable it wont make u r Life's Good it makes worst then before. my advise never think of this product.i buyed LG KM900 in April 2010. one month it was ok untill now i have giving my KM 900 to service center but they are unable to fix there problem they are unable to find the problem.My .... phone get hang while my phone is standby when i check my mobile its hang from how many hours i dont know if somebody calls it gets hang it will keep on vibrating.it get automatically switch off and i dont have time to describe about Km900Arena its makes my life misserable for the first time i choose for LG.now i realise what its is. thanks

  • If u prefer music is KM900 the best choice, but if u choose for the pictures than lg vieuwty smart the right one.

  • which is better arena or gc900 viewty smart?

  • windows 7 is firmware theme.v10h.check the forum

  • hey guys i need pin 2 code.plz help me

  • I completely agree with your argument, LG should at least offer more firmware updates, even an old android port (which is possible because of the similarity in hardware and chips between various other phones running android), but no, nothing. Us customers have to suffer with a phone that always hangs and doesn't have any applications or widgets readily available, I think we should all complain.

  • I had this phone for 2 years and I have to say I am very dissapointed and frustrated. The phone features excellent screen resolution, sound quality (for music and calls) and has a very good camera. However, there are many many things that this phone lacks or needs improvement. 1)the OS is extremely inflexible, useless and hangs constantly 2) the cube-type interface is complete rubish. I never ever ended up using any of the other "sides" of the cube just the shortcut menu. Therefore, the interface is extremely useless. 3)scrolling down contacts is horrible and hard to do 4)the phone lies right in your face when it says that it can play divX videos in high resolution. While the phone has a resolution of 400x800, vidX videos that are higher in resolution than 320x240 will not be played. Absolute rubish! I had to convert my video files to a specific file such as MPEG-4 in order for it to be played. There is no flexibility in regards to which video formats can be played. A complete waste of screen resolution. 5) sound and music are very good, however the interface for the music player is bad and there is no easy way to change a song. One would have to unlock the phone, choose the music player and change the song when all that was needed was a sigle side button to change the song. This phone calls itself a "media power house", however it fails to deliver, maybe except in the music department where the sound is good. The video aspect is rubish. If you are looking for a good looking phone with a decent camera, good music player and a sturdy design then this is the phone for your. If you like smartphones and a phone that has the edge then keep looking.

  • Dont buy its the worst phone ever

  • TMT. How did you get to load Windows 7?

  • I have installed Windows 7 and its awesome.new icons and colorful borders and wifi and bluetoth icon.MY ARENA WAS REBORNED

  • 3X factory reset will help you a lot if your phone has hangs problem. if yours is sim free one you'd better never change with other provider otherwise the hangs problem will be back again. **MERY XMAST EVERY BODY**

  • it's battery last less than 24 hrs. i thought it last 300 hrs.

  • can anyone tell me please how is the quality of the recorded voice in videos recorded by arena?is the recorded sound is weak such as lg kp500?

  • i want to purchase lg km900 areana.let me know how was this?can i purchase it

  • I bought this phone for 5 days. The battery last 30 hours (not 300 hrs. as specified). I made a few calls totally for less than 30 minutes and using wifi less than 10 minutes. Battery is the HEART of a phone, no battery, any fancy features equal none. Besides this phone HANG easily, it hangs a few times within this few days already.

After turn on and connect the wifi then tap youtube in the google menu (in the main menu). my official lastest firmware doesnt need configure setting to get connected with wifi. Its automatic. for more discusion bout wifi you can read this :

  • You can watch youtube movies or any movies,just update your phone to latest firmware

  • no you cann't watch youtube by wifi and i see that this phone is very bad

  • Where can I get the latest firmware?

  • it depends on your unit firmware version. with early firmware version you cant watch youtube videos by wifi, but lastest firmware version supports video streaming by wifi.

  • LG KM900 appears to be failure in high value mobile devices. purchased but not getting satisafactory performance. LG should see hardearned money is not wasted. NO service satisfaction. In 5-months only 1-months use balance 4- month remained defective. LG should look into the issue. [email protected]

  • how is the quality of voice recording in both voice recording and video recording segment?I have a cookie and its voice recording is not as good as se phones.It is obviously poorer than se k770 and k750 in terms of the quality of voice recording.how is the arena?

  • can we upgrade the oS of the phonbe to android 2.2?

  • update: for those who facing problem which music player cant detect any music file, UK latest firmware V10P_00 may solve it. since UK firmware did not come with Chinese word, i flash to Singapore V10H_00 firmware. so far so good.

  • ITS a god phone.i had used n97 for 6 months and trust me this is way better. the only thing u need to do is update the firmware to v10p and ur phone becomes totally awesome

  • it is a problematic phone. the problems begin from auto profile for gprs setting every time the phone turned on. if you choose this phone, you'd better never change your usim card with other provider. after update to lastest firmware, 3X factory resets, and if necessary calibrate the proximity sensor, this phone should be on its best performance.

  • don't buy this phone! >

  • how can i use the divx projection

  • superb phone one must really have..it has great features .. never miss this mobile.....

  • Why does it always say that my phone is disconnected when I download music?

  • battery sucks, its very easy to drain the battery with regular use in one day. lg should have put at 1500mah battery. i have a nokia 5230 and it has a bigger bat like 1300 1400 something but it can still be drained easily after a day but lg arena's bat is far worst. hmm thouchscreen phone should have atleast 1500 mah batteries to survive a day or two with regular use.

  • This phone is the best phone ever i think you guys need to think about it carefully i've got this phone

  • I recommend to upgrade the phone to version V10P_00 (iArena 0.6c), is most stable and fix too many issues, like the play music and movies. The Java and Google Maps are better now. The next phone: IPHONE 3Gs

  • can ant say that there is any software update available 4 ths phone ther means where can i update

  • why the touchpad is hard to touch..?

  • When playing mp3, no sound after about 2 to 3 songs, although it shows the song is still being played. Have to change to another song to solve the problem. But then, the problem re-appeared after another 2 to 3 songs! The problem occurs at the start of a song, not at random during a song. Weird huh?

  • Agree wit so R RS. TRULY A TOUCH OF CLASS. Nex mayb SGH Vibrant or i9000. Goim Android now. Sum1 recommend LG froyo then mayb. Waitn

  • LGKM900 Arena is so far the worst phone from LG. Its been giving software prblems again and again and somehow the LG people dont seem to release new firmwares with the bugs sorted out. Its like they launched the phone and forgot about it. I am never going for an LG phone again. I have now switched to a blackberry and life couldnot have been better i must say.

  • this phone is a good one.. though i faced problmz at the start with software n all jus like u guyz did but i got an upgraded firmware on it and the thingz went smooth from that day.. its worth every penny i paid

  • Its a good phone. I have no problem with this unit. In two years 2 or 3 time turn off. It worth

  • i think you need to take back what you said about this phone, should i buy it or not ?

  • on my unit auto profile is the biggest problem. after several time changimg usim card with other from different provider which has different gprs setting parameter my unit will have bugs like freeze, auto restart, etc need reset setting from phone setting menu before insert other provider usim card in the worst case, may need 3X factory reset sory for my bad english

  • If your screen freezes when phone rings, just remove the protection cover. I's because most covers becomes yellowish after a few months, then inferferes with the proximity sensor.

  • This is the worst phone i have EVER bought...It hangs ALL the time...during a call the phone will suddenly switch itself off....horrible phone. I will never buy an LG ever again (whether it be mobile or any other electronic device)

  • gprs setting should be done automatically by auto profile on ur arena except ur service provider doesnt exist in auto profile database list on ur unit. if it doesnt, u can set by urself if you know ur provider setting parameter. All is in the connectifity setting menu. Browser setting >> Profile = to activate ur selected parameter setting also check the Network Selection Access Point + Internet Profile = to fill ur service provider parameter setting

  • This model is still a good phone. I have been using for a couple of years now, and I have had a single problem with it. I have choosen it after a long research and it is and it was the most reliable phone on the market. It is slim and fast. The price droped really fast. It was the best value for the money. Omnia was something similar, but about the same features cost 50% more. Now, after so much time, I have still hard time to replace it. Samsung Galaxy is the only one I can think of but I still do not see the huge difference to pay 600-700USD for it. I am thinking to get a 7 inch tablet: Archos 70 (new), or Samsung. The Samsung I think overpriced. SE, Motorola, and Nokia just so much behind in everything. Frankly, I can not understand why people still buy brick with limited features and very flacky performance.

  • how to activate my gprs... itried somany times to activate,but still its notworking on my opera mini software

  • Don�t buy this LG ARENA is suck, lack of support, lots of problems aftersale. Much better To Buy Samsung Jet or Samsung Wave it has good quality sound,Good resolution,good camera,nhd video & videolights,high processor,dowloadable application. Jet and wave is highend phone Worldwide.

  • I got one of these phones when they first came out with the promise that it was fantstic. Needless to say it wasnt. I had problem after problem. The screen freezes or switches itself off. I cant answer calls when it rings or it just doesnt ring. I have the very latest software and it still desnt work! Not ammused and definatly wouldnt recommend to anyone. Its just one huge pain in the bum!

  • What operating system used on this mobile? how to install application or appz in this mobile?

  • you can have this for only 15k on a discounted amountin Robinsons Galleria... most of cellphone stores there has a weekend sale..

  • Just dont buy it.... been using it for a year or so.. nice in the beginning but problem after problem show up after few month of use... now it freeze five times a day, not to mention the capacitive screen is so error now sometimes i tap the upper side of screen it register as if i tap the lowest side, freaking error

Then try to download boltbrowser again from :

  • does the LG arena have emoticons pre-installed inside for text messaging? like the sony ericsson it shows a smiley when u type '':)'' so is there any smiley for arena or will it just appear as :) only?

  • it's no good,i have it one week and it stucks,smal touch buttons,no good battery life

  • Yes of course! It's works just perfectly fine since I owned this phone just last Feb. 3, 2010 and upgraded the firmware to V10p. Although there are occassional hang-ups and reboots, just don't let ur KM900 overworked! It's so amazing I just bought a 16GB memory card and it worked so perfectly fine especially with mp3 music w/c I can segregate 'em by genre, w/c d previous firmware version failed to catch up. The only downside of this phone is that it has no voice command/dialling feature w/c most symbian phone like Nokia brags about, and worse enough you cannot customize ur homescreen wallpapers and there are no themes. U can only place a wallpaper on its Lockscreen! Damn!

  • will this phone work better when software is updated? :)ccc

  • I have this phone for almost a year now, fortunately I don't have any regrets buying the phone. I have had not encountered any problems (stated in this forum) since I bought it and changed the version to V10p... I don't know if I am just fortunate to have a very dependable unit unlike what others claim which is far opposite to what I experienced using this phone... NO REGRETS BUYING THIS PHONE... EVER!

  • hey guys .anybody can help me wanna buy it but you scary me plz help fast

  • best thing is , back-up ur data & do factory resetting by 1809#*900# then see the response of ur accelerometer (u will feel the difference). And to cope up with the battery issue , i have brought a 2nd battery & i keep it fully charged so that just in-case if urgently required ......

  • I've used this phone. lookwise it is stunning & feature rich. But, in due course of time, I'm feeling many problems related to its touch sensivilty & also the rolling of Menu screen in Horizontal and Vertical direction. Pls suggest some online support centre for Service of my device.

  • My phone has to be charged daily, if not it will totally shut down whether I talk or not. Even bought a new battery and have the same problem.

  • Arena default browser is suck and slugish in my opinion. I like to use a signatured opera mini 4.2 for browsing. with mini my arena can browse almost all kind of website. It is superb, best browser for mobile phone, you can download it by yourself from arena.

  • hey guys, need to know ur KM900 talk-time , well mine is max to max 3:50 hrs, my battery drains after that. what is urs Talk-time ? & need some good apps site to make my Arena more Productive.

  • Hi, my black arena never get hot so far. Just make sure that your phone use a good quality memory card only. because poor quality memory card can make LG phone get hot.

  • hi i also interested in this phone but just have some doubt whether wanna buy it or not? cuz i'm looking for those which can browse almost all kind of website even like those bank web. but i'm not sure whether this phone can browse it or not. hope u could check it for me. thank you for your kind assistant.

  • This phone is a featured phone , not a Smart phone . so ....expect a bit less from it (as compared to smart-phone), but believe me it leaves me sometimes wondering if its a smart-phone or what ?, bcoz it works so fine ..... I Am using it for Past 2 month ,its a Grate Phone , but has problems like all phone has some or the other issues :- 1)Battery ....yes its a big issue ,it needs constant charging ,if u r going to use ur phone to its limit. My advise switch off the LED Flash , to save some Power. 2)My Phone Restarts when battery is down . 3)Its back-cover gets Hot when its going to Restart. -------------------------------------------- other than that this phone is a gem, i have seen some good endurance Test videos On youtube Under "Lg_Arena_crash_ready.flv " its link is:-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2--gpXns-s

  • The phone is superb,i just got one recently!

  • well u have to go to a service center and have it double check..i believed you have a deffective lcd screen...

  • this phn is not worth its cost....hving internal 8gb memory it cannot store mr than 500 sms....it does nt work while operating bluetooth.....n u cannot attend any call while using bluetooth...its battery shut after 4 hrs...

  • Curious question regarding your overwhelming post regarding Jet II... Since you have mentioned "superb" specifications etc. Why it doesn't come with "capacitive touch screen"? FYI: LG Arena have upgraded version of firmware/software/UI... Guess you overlooked the "other" facts about the LG KM900 Arena... Well, just to be fair enough with two phones (Samsung Jet and LG KM900 Arena), try to research "very well" and do not compare the units based on a single handed item. PEACE.

  • samsung jet II is a big differences to LG ARENA. Jet It Has higher "800" Processor" Jet Has A good Camera quality than LG Arena. Jet Has Videolights nhd. Jet is friendly user than LG ARENA. Jet has touchwiz UI 2.0 upgrable to 3.0 and LG Arena has touch UI no version updated. Jet has Ultra Amoled resolution and LG Arena only TFT Normal LCD. Jet Run Samsung Operating System, and Android 2.1 eclair is coming updated at the end of this year 2010 and LG ARENA no operating system,no updated firmware,not upgradble to android. Jet has Near Field Communication. Jet support third party application,widgets. Jet is very responsive touch UI than ARENA. Jet it has 5.1 dolby sorround. Jet has more landscape and motion games free downloads than LG ARENA is very limited games.. Jet and LG has both 3D menu, but Jet has run good than LG arena, because Jet has seperated 3D MENU, and LG ARENA no separate menu for 3d menu thats why arena is always hang,laggy,auto shut off. Jet has a good webkit samsung dolpin browser v1.0 upgradable to v2.0 100% tested super fast search one click the web shown in 1 second. LG ARENA no browser support thats why hang,laggy,auto shut off again. People choose samsung mobile phone? 1.) it has a good resolution. 2.) It has high processor cpu speed 3.) It has embedded webkit sofware samsung dolpin browser 100% tested and easy to zoom in and out. 4.) It has Near Field Communication. 5.) Touchwiz 2.0 and 3.0 is very responsive. 6.) It is friendly user like nokia. 7.) it has support mp4,divx,avi,wmv,wma,mp3, 8.) It has document viewer, photo editor, video maker, video editor.. So i recommend SAMSUNG JET is 100% nice performance Multimedia and Music Phone than LG ARENA...

  • Just got the phone back from the service centre and the internal memory is all gone! Have to send it back again. Had the phone for 11 months and have regretted it since. Should have gotten an Iphone. Do not buy LG!!

  • this phone is like u already have an iphone because there are similarities in their features... i love this phone,,, but my question is, will this phone last for years????

  • Display is too small for touchphone...

  • i have had the phone for 5 months now, the KM900 has a lot of features, but it is too slow, touch screen is very good but it acts funny sometimes, the software sucks, whether it's the mobile OS or the PC suit software, both are very bad, the camera is not that good too, even though it is 5 mega pixels, battery life is not very good, and it has a lot of bugs, i would not recommend it for anyone.

  • i have the Lg Arena and I really recomend it to you....and the touch screen is very very sensitive!

  • thank sapphire for letting me know what this phone is capable of... um i am in west africa-ghana and i really want to own this phone i mean everything about this phone sound great and superb. those own this must follow the instruction manaul before using it and they ought to stop making false review about this phone because it discourage people from buying it. if they are ignorance then you will alway have problem with this phone. this phone worth the price and it's truly amazing phone and i love everything about this phone.

  • hi salma i recommend you to buy this awesome phone it has facebook application and you can download app from internet through wifi if u want and you can have websites that help u toooo its very good the only thing that bothers me in is streaming ....thus you cant watch you tube but you can download them and watch them ok its cheaper now almost 300 us dollars

  • I have had one for a year, it is the worst phone I have ever had and I have had mobile phone since 1987 when I had an early car phone which was great. Constantly freezes, turns itself off, self dials the last number in your history if you dont use the phone for about 6 hours (my phone once dialed one of my customers 32 time from 3 am one morning. It has poor reception capabilities. The touch screen is not very responsive - watch the LG promo videos, the operator giving the demo never attempts quick dialing or similar because it does not work. The phone may have lots of features but if you cant make or receive a call and you have to constantly delete your history it becomes hard work. The phone has been back for repair 3 time but each time it comes back to me it is no better.

  • I just bought the phone..i was trying to use wap but there is no easy way to set the GPRS settings..when i tried to open the Google maps it switches the wifi automatically on and says no network..forced switch-off is overridden to switch-on. the network provider also could not provide GPRS setting for this mobile..Could somebody help me out on this issue please?

  • Hey Guys! Can I surf the internet from itt?! Does it have a facebook application?! Would u recommend me to buy it?!

  • i got a lg lollipop currently, but feel like want to change to a touchscreen phone that was not expensive like iphone, so this phone is it ok?

  • my arena lost its speaker sounds.. its never been dropped or anything. i already did the factory reset but it didnt worked.. what could be the problem? or do i need to bring it to the repair shop? please help..

  • my arena lost its speaker sounds.. its never been dropped or anything. i already did the factory reset but it didnt worked.. what could be the problem? or do i need to bring it to the repair shop? please help..

  • Not happy with the KM900 Arena model.frequently mobile is hanging and some times touch sreen is behaving abnormally. Not able to open Youtube too.Request you people(LG progromers) to fix all the bugs before releasing the cell.

  • i have same phone l.g km900 and when i download video from YouTube its not working what i have to do? thanks alot........

  • i love this phone the only problem is the battery life,it doesn't even stay up to 24hours.it's very disappointing,but its nice though! could someone help me??thank you! :)

  • A pretty adiquate phone is all I can say about it. And its well worth the price you pay for it. If Iphone wants to outclass this device apple needs to come up with FM radio and a higher resolution camera.

  • TO Varry>>> i still use my LG KM900 Arena for 1 year, 7 months and 25 days to be exact.... Fortunately, there are no issue or problems at all... By the way, i changed my firmware to V1010p (so valled iRena firmware, icons and start up is the same as iPhone original firmware released in UK, since the Arena was first released and announced in UK) very much stable and no problems at all... the only thing that bothers, or should i say i can not remove is the D-Pad(arrows left, right, up, down and OK button below the screen to control the games) when playing games (but not all games) there are some sites who offers full touch screen games without the D-Pad navigator.... after updating the firmware everything seems more responsive and effective as the LG claimed... Hope this will help you decide.... Enjoy and PEACE.

  • hey, is there anyone who has this phone longer than 1year and everything still works normal???? Cause i'd love to buy this phone but I won't be able to ask for another1 if it doesn't last LOnGER than 1year......do you think I should buy it??? what are the cons??

  • hey guys,i have had the Arena for about a week now,and am loving it!how can i download flash player and winzip for the phone?

  • TO lim... Go to Connectivity Settings of your phone then USB settngs, set it to "Mass Storage Device"... Return to idle mode (meaning home screen).... Connect your LG arena to your PC or Laptop via USB Cable... Two (2) new window will appear on your PC... Select Open folder for both (1 for your phone memory and 1 for your external memory [if it is available])... drag or copy paste the songs from your computer to the "Music folder" of your Phone memory or creat a "Music Folder" to your external memory.... Once it is done nor transffered, touch the "exit" tab on your phone and remove your phone from the PC.... wait for a second to identify the music with your phone (3-5seconds) depends on how many bytes you've transferred... Once you click the "Music" menu all the songs you've had transferred will appear to the mentioned "Music" menu. Hope these procedure would help you... Enjoy!

  • then can i ask, hw can i put my song in the phone to music?

  • Going on 8 months with this phone! I live in the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago specifically. I'm in the young adult user category. It's been working so perfectly. I am so happy I chose this one, I have no regrets. The screen is big and the display is crisp with vibrant colors, my videos look perfect in 16:9 and I can put HD quality vids on it (although the dimension must be 720x480 or less, but the phone allows you to stretch it back to 16:9). It's not for people who know nothing about video codecs and conversion. This phone is not "easy to use" for people who don't know anything about technology, ok, so please buy a cheaper phone with few features if you don't know your stuff, and please don't come and leave discouraging reviews for others, when your only problem was ignorance. Remember this phone is from South Korea, where youths know about their technology and how to manipulate it. The sound is incredible, whether you use the normal sound or dolby, the experience with videos and music on this phone is almost as good as on my computer. WiFi works great, I can also stream youtube videos if I use Bolt browser. The download manager for the browser is very efficient, I have downloaded files 300mb+ on this phone from Megaupload etc with no problem. The battery lasts me a long time. I would play a bunch of my videos in full 16:9 with Dolby sound as well and loud volume, and listen to music afterwards, and only one bar would go down. People who have battery problems probably did not follow the instructions when they just got the phone. When you buy the phone, the first thing you must do is charge it for at least 16 hours. What else...you can view your text files and PDFs comfortably on the Arena. Your pictures will look perfect as well and you can zoom in and out using the pinch gesture. CAMERA: It takes very decent pictures and there are quite a few options including turning off auto-focus, which is very helpful. You can also record videos with the flash--as in, it turns on and stays on until you've finished recording the video. The S-class interface is stylish while being efficient, and it makes it easy to organise everything. That's all for now, I hope this helped someone.

  • y dont u try custom firmware.. it far better den the orginal firmware.. try watch dis n follow the intruction

  • sansung jet is good than LG arena... LG ARENA has lot more problem.. the major problem is restarting the phone...

  • my phone was ok before i upgrade the software. the problem only arises after i have installed the new software of ARENA >>> V10h firmware... but i guess the others who has updated their software to V10h software in Malaysia might have the same problem :(

  • battery power is ok until i start to use camera and video. it takes a lot of energy to run the camera. do you guys have any solution.

  • How can i run large JAR application (more than 4Mb) on km900?

  • it seems like my arena when I got it in my hand for the very first time. And the problems will increase if I change usim card with other from different provider my suggestion is visit LG repair centre to update firmware with the lastest which available to your country. Then do yourself 3X factory reset. if your screen always off on calling mode, try to calibrate the proximity sensor. hope this can help... cheers...

  • Hi guys. I bought this phone 4 months ago....to say I have had enough of the nonsense is an understatement. This is truly the most useless/problematic phone that I have ever used. IPhone clone my foot!!! The problems: It losses network so you have to keep rebooting it, it drops SMS's, you really cannot hang up after a call as the buttons lock, it wont stream any videos, it goes off, the screen goes blank while you are speaking...it just all goes black!!, the battery life is a joke, the software is appaling and though it is said to have a linux based software, it will not open any attachments, it will self erase your data...go figure.....this phone isnt worth your money or time....enough said!!!!

  • hey chinaeyes... just wannna ask regarding the file storage issue... my father also have lg phone (GT505) and when his phone stored tracks and put it in the external memory some of the apps and games is unable to open and it says memory is full... so you mean every time this problem happen he will have to reset his phone?... tnx

  • TO Dominigue... First try a soft reset, if you put your music at phone memory and still you can not view it after a soft reset then, a hard reset is advise, thus, you have to back up your data first before doing the hard reset... Second, if you put your songs/music at your external storage (MICRO SD) try to switch off your phone and remove your baterry for about 3 to 5 minutes then put it back again and restart your phone, your memory card might not been identified by your unit. For matting the memory card is another optio. But make sure you have your music/songs saved at your computer before doing the format. Make sure to format the memory card at your LG Arena and not at your computer... hope these would help... if something happen, inform me.

  • cdpj my >>>> im having the same prob too with the music player! what do you do then? plus i can not save any new contact...

  • You can not compare the Samsung Jet S8003 and Nokia 5800 to LG KM900 when it comes to touch response.... WHY? Both Samsung Jet and Nokia 5800 have resistive touch screen, unlike the LG KM900 Arena have capacitive touch screen. I have nothing againts the Samsung Jet and Nokia 5800, I used to have both units before and quite okay for me. Since you were asking the touch sensitivity and good user interface then, I would suggest you choose LG KM900, user friendly also. Enjoy! Peace!

  • yes it works on AT&T plan...

  • I preferred LG KM900 Arena, nice GUI, listen to music really easy and can be transferred to car speaker using built-in FM Transmitter. Large internal storage of 8 GB. Smaller than iphone, easy to put in my pocket.

  • Try Samsung S8003 Jet. Don't buy 5800 I had it for a year

  • Hello! I want to buy a good reliable touch screen phone and i have two choices Lg arena km 900 or nokia 5800 music express edition but i really dont know which one of them is more reliable? please please help me..

  • Dous the LG KM900 work on AT&T plan?

  • Dous the LG KM900 work on AT&T plan?

  • I have one, this is the simplest phone that i have... It was very useful and friendly user... For my opinion, the sound was very loud and won't spoiled you what ever kind of song that i heard.

  • TO Anon... Sad to hear it WAS your worst phone ever... Perhaps, you are not that fortunate to have this phone... I am very sorry for you, but don't get me wrong, I respect your opinion. Maybe, you just don't have the chance to see and to experience the good and impressive features of this phone. But then, as I had said, I respect your opinion. PEACE.

  • TO anonymous... You are always welcome... just keep on coming, it would be an honor answering all your concerns and giving you updated feedback as far as LG KM900 Arena is concern.

  • Has to be one of the worst phones I've ever had.. Its an absolute nightmare, an extreme fail on LG's behalf. Has put me off LG phones, won't ever get another one

  • Not bad for 1st impression... user friendly as well..

  • tnx china eyes for your comment... really appreciate it. my purpose is to have a survey which handset is better than the other one... and your opinion is very helpful for me.. please keep sending more comments and opinions to determine which is better... PEACE

  • I'll stick with LG Arena... why? * capacitive touch screen is very much responsive than resistive touch screen... * both units have had almost the same features, except that Samsung Jet has AMOLED screen (for more vivid display) but that doesn't mean LG Arena ain't no good with the display... * remember that LG Arena has 7.2 Mbps in 3G while Samsung Jet has 3.6 Mbps only... * Arena is 5g lighter than the Jet... Both unit is competitive with each other.

  • lg km900 arena vs. samsung s8003 jet who r u picking?

  • TO kelvis00... LG Arena has capacitive touch screen (soft touch like iPhone), N97 has resistive touch screen. LG Arena has Dolby sound, HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps unlike N97 has 3.6 Mbps, camera functions are more effective than N97, LG Arena has slow motion video capture, it also comes with DivX player. N97 was released in 2008 while LG Arena was 2009.... hope these would help you kelvis00... good luck!

  • You should keep your N97, i got a LG Arena and i love it, but i still think that N97 is better.N97 is a Smarthphone, LG Arena is not.

  • even with my love on LG Arena i wont trade n97 for Arena just look at the specifications etc.

  • what is more good phone,,n97 or arena?coz someone wants to swap his phone to my n97,,should I take the risk?thank you

  • what OS does this ... thing have

  • i just bought this set, and its seems cool ... hope it will work well ...

  • no, not a smart phone, not a windows mobile neither android.

  • This is an android phone, isnt it?

  • This site is worldwide. Meaning, anybody can post their concerns and opinions as far as LG KM900 Arena is concern... Perhaps, you could tell us where you from? So, we could tell you where in this world can you buy LG KM900 Arena nor where it is available for purchase.

  • Yes, hello people, i need your help on something, errrm my previous phone i had has been broken (well the touch screen), and my phone keeps switching off and on by its self, you could of known ....... Hm I have the lg kp500, that phone has been beneficial to me for about (estimation - 2 years), but the phone has just worn out, anyways, i need some help, I�m trying to find the lg arena, i heard it's such a good phone, and i would like to purchase this phone, (buying a brand new one),if anyone knows where to get this phone, then please inform me right away on this web. Thank you for reading. Much appreciation.

  • it is one of the best touch screen phones

  • i have my phone KM900 for almost a year now and fortunately i have never encountered the problem you stated in this forum.... how come??? am i lucky or what??? remember, cellphone is an electronic device with semiconductive material, thus, you have to take care of it accordingly. do not just buy the unit, you also have to read the manual and understand for proper care and to maximize the usage so, you won't be able to encounter such discrepancies.

  • its easy to configure email on arena. Just need to fill email adress n password in the email setting. here is how to configure my gmail on V10h firmware : From main menu tap message settings>>email>>email accounts>>add account>> yes >>others and then there'll be a page where you need to fill your email adress and your email password.

  • It's been a year since I bought this cell phone , and i'm really disappointed. - It shuts down when you don't expect it to - when you come out of the shower or if you have sweaty hands...don't even try to use it...you can't even touch the correct numbers or letters... - the screen turns blank when you call or when you receive a call sometimes... - and other timesyour screen lights up because someone's calling you but nothing shows up so you can't even answer - i never knew how to configure the e-mail these aren't problems with my phone, those are really common problems, you can see a lot of people on forums talking about these stuff don't buy it

  • KM 900 - the touch functions does the not work. Any reason why

  • Samsung S8000/S8003 or known as Jet/Jet2 is a close counter part of the Phone LG KM900 Arena... Thus, if you will use the "Compare" option here at the GSM Arena Site, you can see both unit, KM900 Arena and S8000/S8003 Jet/Jet2 have had almost the same features.... except that.... Jet has AMOLED screen and dual LED flash.... LG KM900 Arena has CAPACITIVE touchscreen and 8GB internal memory, S-Class UI.... etc.

  • TO Luciano Angel... there is no OPTION at the phone that states "calibration", since LG Arena is a capacitive touch screen then. If you encounter difficulties regarding your touch screen sensitivity or accurateness then, there must be something wrong with your unit. try to contact LG service center near you and install an upgraded firmware (if it still under warranty)

  • there is nothing wrong with the model KM900 Arena, there must be something wrong with your unit itself, if you bought it as new unit then, unfortunately you bought a defective unit.... friendly advise, try to reflash your unit and install a new firmware.

  • 2 mnths bak i bought LG arena. I never satisfied with this mobile,daily atleast 1 problem arising like restarting ,freezing. Present i am having the problem with the battery,evein the charge is full,it shows low battery....Worest worest mobile which i have nevr seen.

  • Hi I would like to know how to calibrate a LG Arena (KM900) Since I find no option for it If I can send some information to my mail Would be most grateful I leave my mail [email protected] Thank you very much!

  • Hare i use lg arena its very nice stile and setup i know its real price because i get it gift of my big brother. thanks brother. its so good looking hand set.

  • default is 00000.

  • LG security code 0000

  • TO zj.... From the number keypad, type 1809#*900#. This brings you to the phone "Test Mode", one of the options on the first menu is "Factory Reset", select that option and your phone will reset to factory setting and your security code will back to 0000....

  • try 0000 on my km900 is that

  • im using LG arena. but this is 2nd hand only. how can i reset the security code.. because the owner also dont know the code.. any one can help me pls

  • hi, may I know if your jet2 has hotswapable memory card slot? and how about the app, can you download app from net to your jet2 by yourself? thanx.. --- --- if anyone of you live in indonesia n has V10p firmware please email me at firstwoody at google mail I need help to update my fhrmware to V10p. thanx.

  • LG KM900 very suck restarting and restarting, i dont why lg custmer service cannot find the problem, im decided to replace my lg arena to samsung jet2 is great phone than lg arena, samsung jet2 ultra amoled resolution with 5mp,dual led flash,video lghts very brgth and clear camera,jet2 have a 5.1 dolby sorround,8gb internal memory,external up to 16gb,mp4,divx,avi,wmv,wma,mp3,gps,3G,wifi dolphin browser very fast one click in 2 second will appear very fast and watch youtube no buffer. samsung jet2 is nice.

  • LG iRena mware or the V10p from UK... search and download the firmware, driver and procedure here >>>> be careful in flashing your LG KM900 Arena, make sure you know what you're doing before flashing... enjoy!

  • ...... otherwise all your phone data will be lost. -scroll down the page, then tap PROXIMITY. -Tap Start calibration. -once completed, tap back till you get the homescreen. I didnt observed so much on this test mode n I didnt do this in dark room. You can try it out by yourshelf. But it really work on my black arena with V10h firmware. My proximity sensor works great so far. good luck...

  • firstly I hope your phone doesnt have freeze n restart problem. that because the proximity sensor (above the screen beside LG icon) doesnt work well. If it does, on calling mode, the screen should turn on or off if you open or close the sensor with your finger. Follow steps below to calibrate the sensor : -Turn on the phone without usim n memory card inserted -go to dialpad then type 1809#*900# -Scroll up Test mode page, then tap Others. Never tap factory reset, .......

  • Could you please tell me from where I can get the newest firmware V10p for my Arena phone? I am currently running on V10h...

  • I have a LG Arena and it does not display incoming calls. I have tried to get it repaired and have spent numberous phone calls with LG and no on can help. It is sending me insane. I cannot tell who is calling or whose call I have missed. HELP!

  • Listen, this phone not g250 or etc cutted stuff doesn't even worth camparing with this pohone. I have soft blablabla km900at- 10v i think. The camera- I never had phone with such a good video camera, i was drived about 120kmp/h and recorded, the wideo didn't lag at all! But some times phone a little bit lag, specialy when lots of shourtcuts are on the desktop.

  • LG KM900 Arena V10p firmware or so called iRena... improved: camera (flash sound with silent shutter) touch sensitivity sounds Dolby iPhone icons you tube connectivity new version upgraded browser and google new version.... better than htc... htc cam does not cam with flash

  • htc is a computer phone but the lg km900 is pretty good and my mate said htc is rubbish

  • i can't decide which phone should i buy htc touch dual or lg arena km900, money is not the problem but i want good phone for music and without bugs. please help

  • i can't decide which phone should i buy htc touch dual or lg arena km900, money is not the problem but i want good phone for music and without bugs

  • Hi, for several last days I set on the power save mode and the auto brightness. There's no "sleep to death bug", no freeze when unlock the phone either so far. Everything seems fine like usual. I think you'd better visit LG repair centre to reflash your firmware.

  • V10h / V10h_01: Firware released From Germany * stable firmware with O2 start up and shutdown animation * No operator screen

  • thank you very much for your explaination.

  • do anyone who using V10h firmware have the problem of unable to receive .Jar/.Jad files via bluetooth that transfer from computer?

  • About the "running applications" for V10p firmware.... everything runs well for me,it's just that there are some applications that "still" does not support the full screen mode (meaning you still have the D-PAD buttons below), but if you search the net, you'll find some applications that supports full screen without the D-PAD. Connectivity is good (not that impressive or not so fast compared to WM phone) but then competitive, no problem at all. The only thing that I want to resolve is "how to remove the D-PAD so I can play games in full touch screen mode or landscape mode?" (since most of the games for LG Arena are portrait supported and with D-PAD buttons below. Most of the time I got confused, the Arena comes in a high resolution screen which is 400x800 but then when I download a game with the same screen resolution, and play it, it always cut the screen half in portrait mode or the screen orientation is not supported(game should be play in landscape mode) where as the LG Arena has no game settings for it to set landscape mode and/or disable the D-PAD =(

  • how about the applications on your V10p ? did you notice any bug when runing application? thanx..

  • My friend used to encounter same problem regarding the touch screen of her LG Arena, she found out that this is not a bug nor glitch, it is a defect after she accidentally fell her phone (too bad)... try to flash(not hard reset) your phone nor apply a new firmware, it will probably solve the problem. Trust me! I would suggest the KM900AT_V10p firmware.

  • My LG Arena has V10p firmware, I am not sure if this firmware is officially released by the LC Company. But as far as am concern the firmware is great and doing well! all stable. The only thing that I noticed from the said firmware, the "hand writing recognition" or option was removed. Anyhow, i don't mind using it since the LG Arena has a capacitive touch screen and i don't mind using it with my thumb. Another thing is, in camera option it already has a "silent" or "no tone" for shutter, the original firmware of the Arena doesn't have a silent shutter... Best part, icons are similar to iPhone.. Cool though! THE BEST PHONE EVER HAD!!!

  • this is new for me. I've never set power save n auto brightness on before. I also minimize all display n touch setting. my V10h works great so far except minor bug in the music player. from now on, I set the power save on to know weather mine has same bug like yours. I tell you the result later. thanx..

  • i agree 101%.the worst phone ever

  • Well, I had done my reset almost 20x before but the problem is still occur. However i found the possible solution is to turn off my power save mode and switch on auto brightness mode. Suprisingly, the problem did not trigger anymore, usually the problem will happen in about after every 5hrs a day. But now im still observing. If this is the right solution, I would assume if the phone with "power save mode" on might actually cause auto switch off("Sleep to death bugs") and the freeze on unlock screen mode.

  • I Quote this : "another interesting thing is when u use earphone, it will recall for the latest contact AUTOMATICALLY once you twist the connector." Its exactly what happened to my Arena... I thought its only me who experienced this problem... Moreover, my touchscreen is behaved so strange, its always misplaced the icon i touch... for example, when i touch the icon 'contact' form the upper row it will open 'profile' menu instead of contact. (icon 'profile' is 3 row below 'contact') I dont know what happened, for as far as i know, capacitive screen need no calibration, and Arena dont have any calibration menu too...

  • V10h is the lastest official firmware version for asia region. I got it for free from my nearest LG repair centre in indonesia. if your arena often has freeze and restart problem, try to do 3X factory reset. Read my post on 2010-06-06 to know how to do it. hope this can help..

  • may i know your V10h firmware is from which country? because mine V10h firmware had problem that cause my phone constant auto off itself and sometimes get freeze when unlock screen.

  • bad bad phone.

  • Hi, I've never noticed thoose problems on my V10h so far. I think thoose might because of 1 of theese, but I hope yours has no hardware defect esp the earphone connector : -multimedia memory is full -poor quality memory card -often change usim card with other from different provider if you dont mind try "reset settings" in the phone setting menu without usim & memory card inserted. it will set all phone setting to default, but you'll loose your email data.

  • did u upgrade its software version? update to latest will improve hang & restart problem.. good luck :)

  • I have had this phone for a month now. Except for its disappointing battery performance (can drain in a day depending on usage) and very poor sunlight legibility, I highly recommend KM 900 Arena. Also note that, occasionally, the phone may hang and restart!

  • hi... i want to buy this mobile... can u tell me weather it is gud or not? and how much it's cost

  • i just noticed, now my km900 with V10h unable to link to the mp3 song. mean if i click the music, there is no song detected! how to solve this?? another interesting thing is when u use earphone, it will recall for the latest contact AUTOMATICALLY once you twist the connector.

  • I have bought the LG KM900 Arena about 4 months ago. I love the phone and its feature. The only problem that I encounter is with the phone feature itself. When I have to hit digits while on the phone, it is very long to unlock and get to the dialer pad. Sometimes too long and I lose contact. Also, When I put the phone to my hear, its hits digits all the time. Anybody could help me on this one?

  • it is good in battery timing its a superb set also can be called iphone it touch is like iphone batter time on movie is 3 hours otherwise 2 days

  • Hi ido have this fone but not upgraded it.you should better visit lg care center near your location.

  • i bought this phone about 2 months ago.it`s good response 2 touch has more function about NET and music transmitter by FM radio and large internal memory about 8 mgb ..it`s very nice and i called it MINI iPhone .

  • I m Frm India. Recently I made a software upgradation for my Arena from V10c to V10e. After upgradation Divx movies are not supporting. The movies which was playing before stopped playing. Error Msg - Not Supported. Anyone faced the same issue. Any resolution guys ?

  • can someone tell me the battery strength or battery durability of LG Arena.

  • this phone breaks iPhone(3gs 2009)in pieces,the only iphone advantage is the operating system, but elsewhere km900 has way better camera with many functions, radio transmitter, microSD up to 32gb, very clear sound, java and gps working offline. So damn the iphone, it's just a branding euphoria!

  • its phone,its not china phone?and any location branch in negros oriental?

  • this phone is simply awesome true !! it im itates each and every trait of an i phone ... perfect phone with a scratchproof metallic body my grade-A1 !! highly recomended

  • guys, im planning to buy my very first touchscreen phone on my birthday. can you please help me by letting me know the pros and cons of KM900 arena? thanks a lot guys, im so concerned about the sound and video quality, the touch screen sensitivity, GPS, and bugs/lags. please help me, i barely saved money for this so i need to know if my money worths it or not. THANKS A LOT PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.

  • it is not only fantastic its amazing but than samsung s800

  • yes hey better window mobile too,you forgot! it has many applications same android, symbian. better buy phone with OS its more fun and you can customize your phone as you like! right?

  • i am using the phone from 30 days i feel its good phone i called the name mini i phone.

  • This device is a crap, a total waste of money. Stay away from arena and from lg phones in general. Despite all upgrades and the glamorous specifications, nothing actually works at all. I have this device for 3 months now and i am totally disappointed

  • Hi,LG KM900 Arena good points: 1. 480X800, almost close to IPhone 4 2.5MP camera, auto focus, same as Iphone 4 3. Wifi only 802.11b/g (not lastest n), a bit slow 4. Sound nice, video nice. Bad: 1. Applications!!! only support Java, not like Iphone can download a lot 2. Settings: Msg only can save 1000 or 2000, can't create folder. And other settings that already fixed memory for different application. So 8GB it's not true for message and some others. Because maybe just few Mbytes for message or others. 3. Can't select all to delete or edit or do other things. If you have thousands of msg,emails to delete, then need delete 20 each time, need spend few hours for it. So this phone it's quite nice for the those not so interested about download applications. If you need more applications, then consider Iphone or Android phones, or Sybiam phones.

  • when you said "Mac support" you mean snow leopard support? where?

  • its sooo worth it, i got it for 90 euros here in spain

  • What kind of apps does this phone support? Java only?

  • I'm going to buy this phone tomorrow...is it worth it?I need any respond ASAP..Thanks

  • You can watch all kind of videos on the LG Arena, .divx,.xvid,.mp4...etc, all you need to do is use a resolution of 720*576 or lower, if the resolution is higher than that, the phone wont support it.

  • I think because it has a capacitive touchscreen and the QWERTY keyboard keys are small , your finger will hit the wrong keys ! Am i right ?

  • Dear All,.. some videos not support, Any one can give me media player link for install my Arena,..

  • thanks Sandy!!! :)

  • use the "search opinion" from this page. Fill the text field with : canada I think you can consider the result page. hope this can help.

  • hi guys... hi girls... please if anyone of you have V10i firmware version, could you tell me if that version can download a signature opera mini 4.2. ? If it can I would like to try to get it bcoz I need virtual d-pad on my browser. I always have opera mini n bolt browser on my black arena. I like my recent V10h but sometime I change the usim card with other from different provider n that may bring the bug back. Thanx...

  • This goes to the all he people who has problems with mass storage mode. I also thought it didnt work, but all i had to do is wait 30 to 2 minutes and a half after connecting it, that solved my problem.

  • Unlocked version of any where can be used any where.

  • Looks like teh set yourecieved is faulty. Go to LG Service Centre in yur Country and get it repaired.

  • LG KM900 Arena - Shokes And Surprises I bought this phone in a liquidation sale due to its high end features at low cost of INR 12000 (Against 20000 regular price) from the mobile store in Lucknow and then started the chain of shocks and surprises. Here are those Shocks 1. Poor s/w with bug in all available firmwares 2. Different features work with different firmwere 3. Indian firmware 10E has Music Player not working 4. Need more then expert to get Arena working properly 5. Pretty ordanary GPS with poor 1 km selectivity 6. Poor sunlight readablity 7. Poor battery life. Exhausts in a day 8. Mono FM Radio (Even LG KP 106b has stereo) 9. iTunes M4A not played unless corrected 10. Music Player can't sort tracks by Album only 11. Issues with Windows 7 PC Connectivity Surprises 1. Extraordanary 3D S-Class UI 2. Dedicated 3D Grapics Accelerator 3. Stunning Multimedia and Gaming Performance 4. Capable 5 MP Camera and D1 Camcoder 5. Inbuilt good Image Editor 6. Preinstalled Movie Maker 7. Excellant Audio Quality 8. Very Nice Ergonomics like iPod Touch 9. Just 105g 10. Good Earplugs 11. Mac support Suggestions Use UK Firmware 10P for most stable arena. Do not upgrade firmware your own unless you are trained. Is difficult, need many drivers and settings before doing. 3X Factory reset is rubbish thing. Actually the problem is when factory reset is done, Arena cant erase everything properly hence sometimes manual erases and multiple factory resets may be needed to correct problems. To play M4A, use dBpoweramp M4A utilities to first extract AAC out and then convert it back to M4A. This is a lossless process and takes a second for a song. Arena sounds excellant but do not compare it with N91 or i450. Still better then most of XMs. Use large cone headphones with elevated bass responce to get best possible output. Nokia HS62 worked best for me.

  • Is it possible LG KM900 purchase & used in Singapore can be used in the Philippines then bring to Canada if it was brought there... does it have to unlock the unit as per area code or simply upgrade the unit & insert SIM ... Need immediate feedback......

  • hi, can anyone help me, coz im hving trouble wth my arena, i ordered my phone from other country, and when i received it, i only used it for an hours, when the battery drains and charged it, its only display the start up screen and did not run, i reinstalled the battery and usim, then its appear that way, again and again, pls anyone can help me,. tnx.

  • but 3X factory reset I always did by myself. Could you please tell me if V10i can download a signature opera mini 4.2? N how about the fm transmitter quality? Thanx...

  • since last 3 days bug rise again. If I tap "acces point" in the connectivity menu, the phone goes to restart. It because sometimes I changed usim card from different provider as you can see my posts came from some different IP. I always post to this forum from my arena. it need 2nd 3X fact reset since I got V10h to fix the bug. I've never upgraded the firmware by myself, LG repair centre did it all, officially n free of charge. But now I have to do it by myself. .....

  • Dear just try www.xchanger.mobi

  • thank you very much Woody! :)

  • Im majid asadolahpoor.i like lg phones because they are relatively cheap and reliable.

  • You can install the firmware 10i by changing country option in LG PC suit III and set it to midddle east then you can download and install firmware into yours phone directly. But i am living in france and even i install 10i and really it is much better than 10h

  • hi guys! got my Arena few days ago... before that, I had Nokia E52 so the batt backup on Arena seems preety poor. how long your batt lasts? mine is good for about 12 hrs with heavy usage... :( do you know any site where I can download apps? ...beside mobile 9 and getjar... ;) thanx!

  • I bought my KM00 from T-mobile ( UK ) and I'm now in a long vacation in Egypt , How can i unlock it to use it in Egypt. Thank you

  • My black arena cant get V10i version as the version is for midle east region. My recent V10h isnt perfect, but it is good 1. Since I got it couple month ago, till now still works great. I like to play around with my phone a few hour every day. - - there's a mistake on my previous post about search option on music player. just tap the down arrow on the keypad after typing search word. It works well. thank to someone at wtc building sby to let me know it.

  • Thank you for the informations.

  • yeah, V10h is much better thn V10e which i upgraded from. recently it do restart by itself, so i try to find new version of firmware, anyway, i just tried 3X factory reset, so far so good, it look better now.. :)

  • Here in the Philippines, LG Arena KM900 is around P20T...

  • my friend has had one. But she's miles miles away from me. Yesterday she said, her crystal performance is excelent since she purchased n the factory reset code is the same with arena's. both phones are S-Class UI. 3X factory reset might solve crystal problem too, but I cant guarantee it. good luck

  • There is not to much activity on crystal forum i haven't received eny answer in regard to my question. I though here are some lg fans who may have had this phone. Going to buy it enyway despite the negative opinions, it's beautiful.

  • oh, I dont try to get V10i version yet. Hope to try to get it this week, then I'll tell you the result later. if that version doesnt support your country, you'd better not to get it, otherwise your phone may not work properly. Just wait for LG release that version which support your country. V10h is good enough, isnt it?

  • hi woody, may i know which country should we chose for getting the latest V10i? as my firmware was V10h Malaysia version. when i check with the software updater, it shown me it was the latest version, so i don't need to update?

  • when ever you close it down completely or runs out of power, all the words in the t9 dictionary are not saved. also if you try to add a new city in the world clock it crashes the phone, then my first problem occurs.

  • really sory, I dont have any hand on experience with crystal, dont know the factory reset code for crystal, but if you own one already, you can try by yourself. I just want all arena user to be happy with the phone when people at LG repair centre dont know about 3X factory reset to make arena on its best performance. with lastest firmware n 3X factory reset, arena can be awesome phone.

  • I'd like to get V10i version, I hope it can make my black arena on better more performance. I'll try to get it as soon as possible. My recent V10h version has minor bug in music player, the search option has no function, but it isnt a big deal. Thanx for your information.

  • Could you tell me if the problems on the arena also are happining to lg crystal as well? I've read many negative opinions on both arena and crystal forums. Do the firmwares released by lg solve the problemes? And the method with 3 factory reset you think it applies to crystal? Thanks

  • I suggest to install LG PC suit 3.2. It also detect the version of firmware. I update firmware through it. It detect firmware version directly and update previously installed 10h to 10i. I am feeling that 10i is responding better than 10h in every function. No problem i find with 10i.

  • google it with opera mini 4.2 from your arena

  • how do I download skype tolg arena 900

  • LG ARENA 900 ,it can be operated only via internet,or is there any other option??? ps.my previous question about BTconection was solved 3Xreset as recommended here & it works perfectly.

  • yeah, no phone is perfect. Every phone has its own pros n cons. It depend on which you like to suit your need.

  • lg ar�na 900.hav� it for 2 month. want to conn�ct to BT SP�AK�R IN CAR.it is conn�cting to d�vic� but will not op�nincomming call.dailing out is ok. pl�as� your advic�

  • planning to buy me one o' these LG Arena, but as im reading the opinions of some who already owns it, kinda havin second thoughts.hmm..

  • how can i off permanently dictionary when typing a message?

  • proximity sensor dosnt shut offs th screen jus to save battery but to prevent undesired actions during a phone call coz its a touchscreen ....

  • ""Samsung Jet is a crap....very low sound in earphone..not gud touchscreen senstivity...."" you must be deaf as f##k and have shovel hands you numpty

  • Samsung Jet is a crap....very low sound in earphone..not gud touchscreen senstivity....

  • a proximity sensor on a phone shuts off the screen when it recognizes the phone's against your face when you're on a call. which will help to save battery life.

  • what is "Proximity sensor for auto turn-off"

  • 3X factory reset will wipe the hanset memory data out (contact, mesage, images, videos, etc) without any confirm, do back up first if necessary. here is way to do : *Turn on the phone without any usim n memory card inserted. *Go to dialpad then type 1809#*900# *Some factory set up will appear, n then tap factory reset. *Wait the process till finish n then the phone will restart by itself. *Once whole steps completed, then repeat it twice again. -- hope this can make your arena on its best prform

  • thanx 4 ur advice can u explain about 3X factory set up? i ve bought this phone, recently i found slow processing can u help me to overcome

  • both phones have almost similar specs n features, n have their own pros n cons. you can read the reviews of both phones from this site to compare. the main disadvantage of jet is that you cant download any apps by yourself. There is no any 3rd party apps for jet. and also the memory card slot isnt hotswapable.

  • which is much better? LG KM900 Arena or the samsung S8000 jet?

  • I think you dont need to update the firmware by yourself. Bout a year since LG released arena, the lastest firmware should be available at LG repair centre nearest you. It's officially, wont void your phone waranty n should be free of charge too. Visit them to clarify. Anyway, whether you update the firmware, if your phone lags, has a lot of bugs, freeze n restart often, no mater what the firmware version is, just do 3X factory reset.

  • okay.. thanks! mine phone is KM900AT_V10e now.. dont think i can update it now if not i'll lose the warranty..maybe i'll update the firmware after the warranty expires..

  • its sleek but not userfriendly it hangs up and gets switched offf and on oce in a while also the google maps do not work ..........not the one if u lookin for heavy usage too sensitive

  • this phone is the best!i love the features of it and it only cost 200 euro(P 11k)...it's capacitive touch screen is cool!!it's the cheapest touch screen phone that will satisfy your needs..i've never regret buying this phone

  • I have had my LG arena for a couple of months and already it has a lot of problems, it is very slow to respond, and the biggest problem is recently my phone thinks that i have my earphones plugged into the phone all the time therefore i cannot make calls or nobody can phone me because it is just a blank sound.

  • I think the main problem is 3X factory reset. people at LG repair centre even dont know about this, usually they do it once only. That's why a lot of new users are dissapointed, bcoz the phone still has a lot of bug although LG repair centre said that it was fixed. So do 3X factory reset by yourself. but you may dislike with batt performance, a large 3 inches screen with 1000 mah only. anyway, most highend mobiles nowadays has its own problem, nothing is perfect.

  • i am very confused by reading opinions, i selected bcoz of its looks;;;;;;;; i need good phone with looks and battery backup i can not tolerate any technical problems like hanging etc. so plz suggest shall i go for km900?

  • did you do 3X factory reset on your arena yet?

  • just a money wasting! few months ago i bought 2 lg phones : "kf755 secret" and "km900 arena". and now both of them have problems and i can't use them! serious problems whit OS. sometimes , some parts of touch screen doesn't work and it hangs and more more problems! and the biggest problem is about kf755! the os is too slow! it hangs even when i write sms! you want a good phone? never try LG! try sonyericsson, samsung or nokia!

  • ..... for camera performance the lastest firmware is the best. bout 1 year now since LG released Arena, the lastest firmware should be available at LG repair centre nearest you. I got it for free. hope this helps you to make your arena to be an ARENA.

  • whenever your phone lags, has a lot of bugs, freeze n restart often, 3X factory reset may fix it, so far your phone has no hardware defect, no mater what the firmware version is. but for best result on all feature performance you'd better get the lastest version. In my experience with some previous version, bugs will increase if I often change usim card with other from different service provider. Some previous version also has poor fm transmitter n movie maker performance. ......

  • woody, if my km900 lags i just follow your steps and do the 3x factory reset? does it need any prerequisitions? like having the lastest firm ware etc? thanks.

  • I am regretting my purchase of this phone. :( I did do a lot of research before deciding to gamble and buy this phone, despite a lot of negative reviews. I have to say that the main reason is the price. It's very cheap for all the functions offered. Well, I guess the old saying applies here..."You get what you pay for". After 1 week, the phone just starts shutting itself off for no reason. When I send SMS, sometimes the message just stay in the outbound folder and not get sent. I miss messages from other people...they just never get to the phone. The interface is mostly eye candy. You can't customize a lot of things. The performance is laggy. I've sent the phone back to LG for service for the imtermitten shut off problem. It's been 2 weeks, no word from them yet. This experience has turned me off to LG mobile products forever.

  • After my first LG fone(KM900) i swear i would nvr buy another LG phone ever again. Reason: its so lag,always off for no reason, always hang and lastly always wen i click on something it has no response!

  • thanks heaps, ill take all that into consideration. hopefully i do pick the better device. thnx

  • read carefully phones spec & review from this site. 9530 has no WLAN, but if you really need BB service go for it. Ask your provider for detail if necessary. Arena isnt a smartphone, it's a multimedia phone. It has some more features & at cheap price now. but it is a problematic phone & some user may dislike its battery performance. You have to treat it right to get its awesome performance. hope this help you spending your money for the right phone that you need.

  • hi everyone, i need some help. im trying to decide between the arena, or a blackberry storm 9530. pls which one shld i buy?

  • hi scolars hey frnds i am planing to buy L.G. km900 this phone , what you suggest should i go for it or not if yes thewhy & no then why plzzplzzzzz guide & plzz mail me if possible at [email protected]

  • I try to upload the facebook on my Km900 but it always go to application I want it like the others in front go to shortcut list(homescreen), how to do it??

  • the phones great in its 3d greatness.

  • i had my LG arena for a week now,the battery life is soooo DAMN!i hate it.don't buy this phone! >:|

  • you're welcome cleopatra.

  • thanks woody

  • If you have a choice between a Nokia N97 and the Arena, definitely go with the Nokia N97. The N97 is in a different class than the Arena. It's no contest. Plus Nokias are much more reliable with better service than LG. But price wise, the N97 should still be more expensive than the Arena though.

  • ........ once updating firmware complete, do 3X factory reset. it's a must, to make arena on its best performance, otherwise the phone may have a lot of bug, freeze & restart problem. read my post on 2010-03-23 to know how to do it. 1 more thing, if you need a memory card inserted on your arena, use one which has good quality only, otherwise your phone will get hot. hope this can help you to enjoy your arena.....

  • actually, the camera isnt so great, but good enough esp with the lastest firmware. the touch UI is cool, kinda iphone. ask LG repair centre nearest you to update the firmware to the lastest, V10h for asia, V10P for rest (europe version). But if it isnt available there, you can update the firmware via internet. Follow the tutorial from the link below : .......... (to be continued)

  • woody i will buy this phone i like taking photos is that okay with lg arena and the touch is okay and what i can do to make it work Perfect and firmware V10h version good and Available in my Country pls woody answer me i am Confused

  • CMK is legit, i bought 2 arena's there. But my problem is the phone it sself it lags Ive got ver 10e firmware. woody? any suggestions to make this Arena worth for an ARENA?

  • do you have any memory card inserted on your arena? if you do remove it. memory card brand which has poor quality is forbiden for LG phones, coz it will make the phone gets hot. if you live in asia, try to change your firmware to V10h version, then do by yourself 3X factory reset, it may make yours on it's best performance. hope this voids you become a regretfull arena user.

  • CMK is legit, i bought 2 arena's there Arena needs new Firmware i guess to make it faster

  • my name is akshat and i am using this phone from 1 month this phone battery is worst and this phone have 2 problem that it become hotter very soon and the camera work like 2 megapixel insted of 5....this is ever badly money wasted towards phone so be careful and dont think about this phone

  • You can download several messengers for this phone using java applications. Just search in google for palringo, nimbuzz, ebuddy. You can use different kinds of messaging networks such as msn.

  • however battery performance will not great bcoz this phone has large screen, but you can minimize the screen brightnes setting to increase the battery duration a litle bit more. LG should make this battery with flat surface at both side instead of concave to increase it's capacity.

  • dear friends ,iam sulthan from india,i use arena for last 5 days, and i have a one problem.the problem is it is phone is working fine but battery is standing only for one day .but battery is 1000mah ,so i what i do for increase a battery life.

  • LG, never more...

  • Seems a lot of arena user is dissapointed with the phone performance. I think they should ask LG repair centre to examine the phone. about 1 year since it released, now the lastest firmware should also be availabe at LG repair centre, I got it free of charge. I spent a lot of money for this phone n I dont want it to let me down, till now still work fine

  • hey guys I want to buy this phone what do u advise me , this phone or the samsung jet ????? thank u in advance

  • How can i get messenger for this mobile ?? Anybody Know ??

  • I hate this phone can not connect to pc after 3 months rubbish email setting can not set up i will never get anoth lg phnone ever. Very hard to use

  • I've had this phone for 7 months now and I'm happy with it. It may be damn laggy at times but the features are enough to satisfy me

  • Pathetic phone.I hate it so much that i am forced to comment. Screen blackouts,Screen blinkings,Bad photos, Pathetic Video,low Battery, SMS going to wrong numbers, Dial one number and the call goes to another number.Now i am waiting for N8. Anything would be better after this. Only good points attractive screen,spectacular colours and utube videos play dazzling.But as a phone it is junk.

  • I would go with any of the Nokias. The Arena is a rubbish phone. Why do you think it's so cheap now? Many people are unhappy and have returned their phones. The Arena has serious quality problems. If you decide to get one, make sure the shop has good reputation and will exchange the phone if you need. Because chances are good that you will need service on this phone. Just do some basic search on the internet and you will see what I mean. So many bad reviews and comments on this phone.

  • if u're stupid enaugh to disturb the original software of your phone it's for certain that u'll have problems runing it! the phone is fine has no factory issues the soft works great. don't mess whit haked P,G,H, or other letters firmware that are uncertefied

  • for better browsing, use a signature opera mini 4.2, its superb. but if you cant download a signature one, change your arena firmware version to the lastest firmware version which available for your country, then do 3X factory reset. hope this can help...

  • guys who win Nokia E75 or nokia E66 or Nokia N96 or Lg Km900? i want to buy one of them so confuse @___@

  • is anyone can help me ??? when l go to a web page on my arena the first page come normally but if you want to open another one the page will come totally blank and cant open another one cheers

  • could someone urgently tell me if updating my firmware to another version like v10p_00 void the warranty? thank you very much

  • well u should go for samsung omnia hd i8910

  • Howdy! Regarding the LG KM900, how much would be its market value right now here in the Philippines? I means it's been a year now after its release, the price should drop by now. Before it was sold for P24,000(pesos)...I have searched in other online sites, it has now dropped down to P13,250. BUT how come when I go to retail stores it is has a relatively high price of P22,000????? It's been a year, it should have depreciated by a very low price now. Or it might even be phased out due to its date of release, that others might be selling it now but secretly hiding the truth that it's not brand new anymore.... how much is it please??? i am thinking of buying this model or other touch screens i suppose if the price is really that high. My budget is only P10,000-P13,000... I have the SAMSUNG CORBY with WIFi that costs P8,000, BUT i don't like its touch screen response....and from the review, it says the LG KM900 is more like the iPod Touch specially its touch screen response-very smooth. I've tried my cousin's iPod touch & yes I do love its touch screen function/response. BTW, is it safe to buy at CMK CELLPHONES? Kindly check their site, they are selling the LG KM900 at only P13,250.. Go to .... A reply from you guys will really be appreciated. Thanks lots. :)

  • Its A good Phone But Will The Sony ericsson X10 Beat That phone And the samsung jet

  • jet has a few more feature than arena, and jet's price is more expensive. we are all can read their specs and reviews from this site to compare. no phone is perfect and every phone has it's own problem. it's depend on buyer's like to suit their need. by the way, can you capture an image with your jet's front camera?

  • samsung jet is a lot better than lg arena,,,,it has better camera,,better screen,,better touch support,,better processor..(and according to me,better looks 2)///

  • can someone please teach me how to register my divx vod?

  • my km900 has a screen touch problem how do i go about it pls reply me.

  • This phone would be exelent if the added Android OS.

  • i say you get an n97 first of all because its stylish you can add themes unlike arena 2nd nokia is from europe so better than arena which is from korea. so i say n97

  • Guys, I am plannning to go for touch screen with WIFI and GPS..I am confused whether to go with LG KM900 or Nokia N97 Mini. Please advice... Denzel

  • unfortunely, LG Repair centre told me that LG stop making new firmware for Arena, that means Arena will have bug forever. Fortunely, mine with V10h firmware version only has minor bug in music player, after 3X factory reset. it's not a big deal. For me it's a real touch screen phone. Mean while I like to call Samsung Jet & Nokia 5800 as a press screen phone rather than touch screen. Arena UI is user friendly. It's pleasure to operate it.

  • but Jet and LG specs are exact same.......infact I liked the UI and Looks of Arena better.... even Jet is costly at 14k.....so arena brings tht prce advantage... so u bought this phone...how is the performance....i read in the forum...many performance issues.....you faced any? i m confused to buy Samsung Spica...Android ph...3MP(no flash)...200 mb.......or...Arena with alot more on offering........i m tilted towards spica..oly bcs of Android OS...wch is future...and because..of performance issue with Arena and now discontinuty of the phone........ I will be buying in this week only....pls give advices.....it will be of imense help..

  • Affirmative...they say it is a special scheme from LG and it is retailing at INR 11,500/- in Jaipur 'till stocks last'...got one on Saturday....yes it IS a bargain at this price....especially for those looking for media capabilities wit huge in built memory(8GB in this case + micro SD extension claimed up to 32GB) However Samsung Jet is still much better...

  • I came to know...the ph is availble around 13k inr..bt the news in the market is ...tht...its been discontinued by LG...is it true?...else...its a steal but at 13k ....

  • Hi guys...I am searching fr a phone about 10k-15k INR......wch one is beter....Samsung 5700/7500/jet or LG arena........... my preference wil be Androd OS....but overall....ROI matters as well....

  • HI.i have lgkm900 I am facing problem that the camera icon is missing? how can i get it back?? It is in communication but its just label and no icon so i can not click/touch it...but it used to be in multimedia before... please anybody help me in it...

  • Can anyone tell me how much is the price of this phone LG KM900 in the Philippines?or is there any touch screen LG phones with three rotating screens at low prices.whats the uniot...thanks in advance

  • to make LG Arena on it's best performance 3X factory reset is a must. Otherwise you'll be a regretfull Arena owner, bcoz it may seem like a rubish phone. Do that after updating the firmware or whenever yours has a lot freeze n restart problem. But afterall, your phone may stiil have minor bug depend on the firmware version, so try lastest firmware. Read my post on 2010-03-23 to know how to do it. Hope this can help you to enjoy your Arena.

  • Hey, i have the same problem with the calling and recieving cals. i cant work out how to show the keypad either when calling #101# or something like that. is there an easier way to fix this or should i send it away?

  • to make LG Arena on it's best performance, 3X factory reset is a must. Without it you'll be come a regretfully owner, bcoz it may seem a rubish phone. You may need to do it after updating the firmware or when yours has a lot freeze n restart problem. But your phone might still have minimal bug after 3X factory reset, depend on the firmware version.

  • What do you mean with 3x factory reset?

  • If you have a LG Arena that's working properly without problems, consider yourself lucky. A lot, and I mean a lot of us are not as fortunate. I have to call it as it is, this phone is terrible, quality wise. If you are considering buying this phone, ask yourself first, "Do I feel lucky?"

  • I have just send my LG KM9000 Arena for repair for the 2 time first time it was just starting and then dead and then starting again. this time SMS and internet are fine but try to recive a call the screen goes black and i cant recive and same thing happents when I try to call my answering machine

  • hi all, i bought my km900 2 months ago. i tried to update without concerning which firmware was on it. after updating its firmware was V10j (Turkey). there were some bug while playing mp3. i decided to update a new firmware but it did not find it by itself (lg update tool). so i flashed it to V10P_00 and the same problem continues. i have a nokia E65 too. its java benchmark is less than km900 but i can play games more fluently on E65. KM900's performance is dissappointed me.

  • I would love to update my firmware if not for the fear of voiding my warranty. So, what i would like to ask is that would updating my firmware void the warranty? thanks much

  • I've had my LG arena for almost a month now, my original firmware(v10g_00) only had some minor bugs(T9 and id3 tags for my mp3's) and only froze once. I then updated my firmware to v10p_00(UK) and did a 3 times factory reset and now everything works perfectly, the only downside is the battery life(rated at only 1000mah) yeah it sucks and i need to charge it every other day. I do not know why many people complain about this phone but mine works like a charm, I suggest you upgrade to v10p as it is the best firmware out there as of now, haven't experienced any bugs yet. Hope this helps. Good day everyone

  • Hii...is this phone worth 260$(price in my country)

  • the main disavantage of this phone are batery duration n there's no free bug firmware. if you choose it to suit your need, try several firmware version to select which bug you may live with. You can ask LG repair centre to update the firware version or do it by yourself from internet. Dont forget 3X factory reset. Actually S Class UI is cool. Video streaming on WLAN, sms, etc are fine on my unlock black Arena (read my last post).

  • Hello dudes, i want to ask you some quoestions about this telephone(the LG Arena).Firstly, i want to begin with the price.Here, in Romania, the price is about 200 EUROs, i think it's acceptable, from a romanian website.I want to ask the owners of the Arena which are the main disadvantages in buying it.I know the Operatin System is bad, it can't support so many applications than others.But, how are the calls, messages, the touchscreen itself,how it is working? Are there problems with the Internet(WLAN)? I heard that you can't watch YouTube videos, because it doesn't have the Flash platform, how I could fix it? Please answer my question, i'll be grateful:D. Thanks for your future answers:). Bye

  • Regarding Win7, software installs but all is get is "Entry Point Errors" when I try to do anything at all. All the DLL's seem to be missing somewhere or not registered. Steve

  • Seems there's still no perfect firmware for Arena. My unlock black Arena with V10h (unspecified) version still has bug in music player. Sometimes It gets mute by itself after playing several songs. Have to stop n play again to fix it. Fortunely, 3X factory reset make it free from freeze n restart problem (my post on 2010-03-23). If you try it, it may give different result depends on firmware version, unlock/locked. Hope LG release a free trouble firmware.

  • its really good and nice shape.......we hope its gud for girls.because LG all in touch.so easy for operating and touch flow is very gud forgirls. i really like to gift Arena to girls.i already gifted to my Girl friend. so guys.......keeep it up. and after that see the difference between you and your Girl Friend.

  • I too have the same issue under windows 7. I cannot get the damn USB driver to install and I have changed the privalige type to run as admin as suggested with no change. I have also changed the compatibility mode to Vista SP2 which also failed to help. What gives? Help someone, please.

  • could someone explain to me what does tag-it do and how do i use it? thank you very much.

  • I have Win7 and have installed PC Suite III + drivers fine. If you have downloaded and installed the program, go to the Properties/Compatibility. Check the 'Run as Administrator'.

  • How can I get the KM900 to sync with Windows 7. Major install issues and cannot get it to work despite many many efforts with website downloads etc. USB LG Driver simply will not install. Steve

  • +Software +Video Camera +3g calling +internet wifi( very easy to acess) +Memory 40gb! +Fm Transmiter +Dolby Mobile +i throw this phone for 15 feet and didn't break -UNITOUCH -LESS APPLICATIONSTORE -LED FLASH -GPS I CAN'T USE! -FEW GAMES(NICE GAMES)

  • i have this phone since last september and i can't acess gps. Anyone know how i can acess gps

  • without a doubt the samsung. anything is better than this.

  • hello all i want to buy phone but i compare between this phone and samsung jet could you please advice me which one is the best regards

  • How do you set the touchscreen sensitivity? It keeps going online while it's in my pocket?

  • How do you set the touchscreen sensitivity? It keeps going online while it's in my pocket?

  • do you have the lg PC SUITE installed? along with the phone's driver? if you do you should be offered the oppurtunity to 'update your phone'when your phone is connected to your pc and you have the PC suite open. if you dont have the driver or pc suite you can download them all from here... www.lg.com/.../support-product-profile-mobile-re­dux.jsp?...

  • I've had my KM900 for over a year now, i found the memory quality good, but the firmware was definitely not up to scratch, even the updates aren't that good. for example if i try to add a contact my phone simply turns off. i hate to say it but i wish I'd just payed that extra bit more abd got an iphone, this is NOT an alternative smart phone. can't say i'd recommend it or any other LG's. if you decide to get one, good luck!

  • I did that alot of times but still did not turn on...

  • You need to open the phone and remove the battery, then re-install it. Then switch on the phone again. There's no other solution. It's a fault with the LG Arena. It switches off or freezes for no reason. Battery removal and re-installation is the only solution. Mine does this about once a week.

  • how do i update my firmware? what is the best updted firmware suitable for this phone(lg km900)? thanks for the help.

  • You can follow the instructions to upgrade the firmware @ LG support site:

  • ppl can anyone tell me wats wrong wit my phone...it just shuts itself off and its not turning back on...can someone tell me a solution to this problem or tell me wat might be wrong thanks in advance i really need to know wats going on...

  • Been using this phone for 3 days now.. well so far so good. except for the battery.. lasts only for about 24hours if you're using 2G most the time. features are excellent. video play backs just insane.. cameras very good.. musics good.. touch sensitivity is fine.. screen is very good.. fits to hand very easily.. so if u wanna buy it then i think you should go for it

  • Hi guys,I cant sent out emails from my phone,and im not sure about the SMTP port number and server number.Please advise..Thanks

  • You can find all of the information at this forum: www.mylgarena.com go to the trouble shooting / firmware area.

  • Hi All, Where and how can I update the firmware on this phone? What is this 3 x factory reset, in the comments?

  • I have to laugh @ your comment Joel. Why shouldn't the readers believe the bad comments? They're not lies. Maybe your comment about how great the phone is the lie... My honest take on this phone is that it does have lots of problems. Only some of them are fixed with the latest firmware...BUT not all. And most of all, the phone still freezes very frequently, especially if you are trying to multi-task with it. I have the latest firmware (V10P_00) and have factory reset 3x already... If you do some research on the web, you will come to find that about half the people likes the phone the other half absolutely hate it. Now I ask, is this the mark of a great, RELIABLE phone? (not to mention service) I think not. Unfortunately, I am stuck with mine for the next 12 months. :(

  • Don't believe these types of comments. Phone is great with the firmware update and 3x factory reset.

  • Most complain about this phone cz they haven't upgraded to new firmware. I have T mobile version and i upgraded to latest v10x and phone is doing fine nw. I also did the 3x factory reset and no more hiccups. Believe me this is a great phone that you can buy. You kinda get addicted to it. The features you get is far more valuable. The great S class OS is amazing. My friends are kinds shocked to see it effects. If you compare with Nokia X6 build quality is far superior. It has all metal body. Audio quality is on par with iPOD and excellent with Dolby enhancement.Do you know that X6 Symbian is also sluggish? I wish LG could focus more with immediate bug fixes. Don't feel down by others comments. I love this phone. It feels prestige to carry around.

  • I totally agree. I've owned this phone for about 1 month. I've had nothing but frustrations with it. Rebooting the phone is a daily activity for me. It freezes and lose signal constantly... Going to swap it with another brand next week.

  • yep. it freeezes on me to soemtimes i wan to take pictures and i have to turn phone off and on to get it going..I like it it takes great pictures but it can get you on your last nerbs

  • Hi can anybody tell wats the message & contacts capacity of this LG Arena mobile. I am planning to buy this mobile...

  • Had phone for a bit, recently started sending multiple sms, ( same text many people) as soon as you cc. it changes the SMS to MMS even with short 60 character texts. cost me loads. be careful. apat from that phone really good.

  • Worst phone iv ever had... Very slow and non responsive.Freezes and very hard to hang up after a phone call. DONT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i heard it plays FLash. videos omg this is so important for me guys plzzz answer

  • i heard it plays FLash. videos omg this is so important for me guys plzzz answer

  • well put it this way,i am on it with orange network and thank god for insurance as i am now on my 4th since september,this one now has also gone so am actually able to change it :( same probs as listed with other posts,but it was good while it lasted

  • No phone is perfect and every phone has it's own problem, it depends on which you like. If you have a new LG Arena my suggestion is, do 3X factory reset to make it free from bugs, freeze & restart problems, before you enjoy this phone. S-Class UI is cool. If necessary, update the firmware to lastest vrsion. hope this can help...

  • Seriously, I will only pay 100 euro for this phone. (Even that is too much, I think) The phone has many bugs including those which affect the basic functionality like sending SMS, receiving calls etc. Sometimes, it would just hang and gets no signal...

  • Hello.I want to know if this phone is as good as they say in the specification, not only to give ~200 euros on it.So does this telephone deserve the money ?Does the touchscreen resist to crashes like ~1 meter? thx dudes, please answer my questions:D

  • You should have no problem finding this phone in China. I am in Shanghai and just bought one for 1250rmb...(just under 200USD) In a big city, you can find it in most shops. If you are in a smaller city, just get it from taobao. (make sure the seller is trustworthy) It is somewhat a problematic phone and deserves all of the bad reviews/comments. But that's why it's so cheap now. If you can live with the phone's shortcomings, then it's worth it.

  • If you want to avoid using TOUCH to UNLOCK button, then press START button (on the top/head of the phone) Twice. That will automatically unlock your phone too. Hope this helps you :-) !!

  • Clear your browser cache once and restart phone, that should resolve this issue.

  • Thanks! This solar charger doesn't exist in Brasil yet, but i've bought a car charger to help with this problem. I'll try to find some solar charger here.

  • go to menu, fm radio and u find transmitter. when playin music press on options top left and pres transmit. that shud do.

  • sory, I dont have any experience with that brand. But if you have one already, you can try by yourself. If it makes your arena gets hot, surely it has poor quality. The poor quality brands ussualy have cheaper enough price than the good brands.

  • i mean "Lexar" brand memory sry

  • what about "Lexus"?

  • i love my LG ARENA,it is evrithing ok

  • nathing hepend with my phone

  • lots of bad opinions about this cell phone, but i still love it and wants to buy it, but cant find it in market now, is it discontinued in china, i m in china, studying medicine, i really wants to buy this cell phone guys, suggest me something......

  • after flash the firmware or call software to the version of V10h from V10e for around 2 weeks, the 1st bug here are the phone are ring n vibrate non-stop when received call. so end up i have to remove the battery to stop it. anyway so far it only happen for once. hopefully it wont happen again. or say we are waiting for more perfect firmware version. ^^

  • to woody....now i know that's why my LG arena often gets hot when i surf the net in LG arena...:D

  • try looking for a portable solar charger... it could be just big and slim as the iphone... :D

  • the phone always lags that's why it sucks and if someone is going to say that i don't have one infact i do have one and it always make me irritated everytime it lags when i play music

  • guyz im selling my LGkm900 arena for only 17k 99% smooth and no hidden defects for info just txt me at 09161349468 reason for selling: nid money ^^

  • The battery is the worst! 2 days in stand by! Someone can help me?

  • in my experience, brands below are compatible with LG phones : -ATP -Sandisk -Kingston hope this can help..

  • hi woody, so any recommended brand of memory card for it? thanks.

  • lg never more�.it stopped excessively, and slow

  • yup. mine phone's battery cover also creaks. the review said that the phone was of solid build, but it doesnt seem to be. but never mind. As long as the phone works perfectly, its fine to me.

  • I bought my Arena a month ago. The dolby makes the music sound excellent. It has very sharp clear pictures. The phone is very light. What I do not like about it is its WIFI. It is very slow and it keeps on locking up. I cannot get to some of my email. I do not use my phone anymore for surfing the internet. It needs a battery with longer life too.

  • does anyone notice that the casing around the camera is actually quite loose and causes irritating creaks?

  • I didnt mean for all the time. As LG Repair Centre told me, some memory card brand which has poor quality is forbiden for Arena, it will make Arena gets hot. So use one with good quality only.

  • yup cdpj...gudluck...hakim...as woody said...dont use memory card all the time. removed it n used only for saving the file

  • Do you have any memory card inserted on your arena? If you do, remove it and then try to charge it again.

  • oh my god, this phone really sucks!!! i regret getting it...dont bother, i brought it in for repair one time, i thought the problem was fixed, but now there are other problems but i dont think i would bother bringing it in for repair, waste my time.....ok no more LG phones, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • just got the LG KM900 this evening and put the phone on with the existing batt charge and after that phone hanged (copying the sim memory to phone memo) and I put it on charge and after 10 mints of charge while I took the phone in my hand found the set very hot ???????? Also hanged again ???????????? what a set ???????? suggest no one to buy this and I am going to return the set tomo morning

  • hi zul, i had update my s/w version from V10e to V10h, so now still under testing, hopefully everything be alright. :)

  • I just found a preety nice trick on my LG Arena but I'm sure yours can do the trick too: 1.Go to phone settings and after that go to touch settings 2.Go to sound in the touch setting menu 3. After that, play any of the sounds(but I recommend sound 3). 4.touch the back button after that. you should hear a weird but interesting sound.(The sound doesnt last long. it stops once you touch the back buttton) PS. Remember not to put on sient mode!

  • I just got this phone on Saturday and aside from using it for a couple of minutes, the batt life has died on me by Monday. That aside, I'm having problems viewing my PDF files. One moment it allows me to the next I have to restart my phone and "Not enough memory" keeps flashing every time I try to accessed the file. Does anyone else have this problem? Am I suppose to update my firmware? I'm unable to download the LG Mobile Support Tool from their site though ):

  • what must i do to change the firmware

  • hello umm which is the latest firmware...is it the v10h version? If not which one? plz reply...thnx

  • Hi, i used to have the same problem. You just have to change the firmware version. you can find a lot of tutorials in the web. Good luck, i have the V10b version of firmware now and its working perfect.

  • Hi guys.. im planing to buy this phone but after reading comments such as 'poor battery, slow cpu, it freezes frequently etc..' i was wondering if the Renoir would be a better choice than the Arena? PS - its on a 2 yrs contract and i dnt want to have a 2 yrs trouble with a new phone...

  • You can change that in the conections menu

  • Yes, the calululator is missing this convenience function. I advise not to use [%] on any calculator because there is no standard how it will be treaded. Remenber: 1 = 100/100 = 100 % So: 25 + 10% 25 + (25*10%) 25*(1 + 10/100) 25 * 1.1

  • One month owner of the LG KM900 - still working my way through customising the screens. Tried to use the calculator for a percentage calculation, eg; 25+ 10%=25.1 ???. Am I configuring my calc incorrectly? Or is the calc function in error? Can someone please help?

  • hey can someone help...everytime i go on the internet browser the phone automatically turns on the wifi and it does not use the normal gsm network any solution?plz reply...

  • Does your arena have any freeze or restart problem? If your phone hasnt any hardware defect, usually 3X factory reset may fix it, but it will wipe the handset memory data off (sms, contact, song file, etc) without any confirm. Here's the way to do : Turn on your phone without USIM & memory card inserted. Go to dialpad and type 1809#*900# and then choose factory reset. Once the process completed, do it twice again. As all completed, your fone should be free from freeze and restart problem.

  • OMG help! my phone cant lock anymore. i do not know why, however it maybe because i fell with my phone in my pocket at a very wet puddle while raining and i fell towards my pocket with my phone. any help here? very urgent. thanks

  • Does anyone know how to solve the timeout error issue on youtube? and also why does the video appear pixelated and blur and boxy when the scene changes. this happens for both high quality and normal.

  • does anyone have these problems too?: I can't view videoes on youtube and other mobile sites. Sometimes the phone just restart or just freeze when i am writing a sms or recording a video. Anyone know this and can help me?????

  • forgot to add on to the typing part. i cant seem to type fast or i would mis type due to lag.

  • could someone tell me how do i improve the overall speed of the phone like changing from home screen to menu or the typing of letters as when i compare it to phones like iphone or even samsung f480i it just seems to load things so much slower. thank you

  • sori cdpj i'm not sure. Helo! Nytes will u tell us, cdpj n me about the software to solve the hanging pb.

  • Go inside Tools menu, there you'll find the fm transmiter. Or while playing a song in the music player, tap the drop down menu at top left of the screen, there you'll find it too. hope this can help

  • Hallo Beh, many thanx for your advice. Actually my fone is unlock since I purchased, that's why when I type 2945#*71001# it only confirm "already unlock". Then I upgraded the firmware to V10h from the previous V10g and did 3X factory reset. Everything seems fine now, no more USIM changing problem, better fm transmiter, but still inaccurate gps. Its the best firmware I ever have. Want to know if you know which the best firmware for asia. Thanx a lot...

  • Follow my below step by step procedure to activate the "FM Transmitter" in your Arena: Utilities > Tools > FM Transmitter > Tuning to a free frequency in your phone which is NOT used by any radio station > tap "Transmit" > tap the "back" arrow key at top screen and go to your phone's music player to play some music > Simply tuning into the SAME frequency in your car radio receiver > Now, your Arena will act like a radio tower, it will transmit your music played in you Arena into your car radio receiver. Note: FM transmitter in some firmwares does not work properly, e.g. no base or poor sound quality... try it out yourself.

  • Hi Woody, Glad to hear from you. Below is my suggestion to you: 1) Flashing to an open/unbranded firmware to unlock your phone like V10p, V10f & .... 2) Unlock USIM as stated in below procedure: i) Insert original sim card and turn phone on. ii) Tap the "Dialling" icon with 3 dots at bottom screen to bring up the phone keypad. iii) Enter 2945#*modelnumber# or modelnumber1# (i.e. 2945#*900# or 2945#*9001#) iv) A menu will pop up, select Unlock USIM. v) Then select Network Lock. vi) Enter your "Unlock Code" and press ok. vii) The phone will then reboot and the Unlock USIM procedure is completed. IMPORTANT NOTE: You need to go to a professional unlocker or network provider to retrieve the CORRECT CODE, as each unlock code is specific to a different IMEI number. Please DO NOT attempt to enter too many incorrect unlock codes as you will block the code counter.

  • Are you the same person using the different name for your post here like "Beh", "Amy17", & "kiv"? as I noticed that your post is came from the same IP address.

  • How a shame that LG didnt make a good fm transmiter but then they sale it. There's a post in this forum which sent on 2010-01-31 that explain how to improve the fm transmiter signal transmission power. hope this can help...

  • This phone is so good... I'm really crying now..

  • Has anyone tried the battery trick? Mine battery seem to be a little better after i tried the trick, it last about a day longer. Thanks Batt man..!! Cheeeers

  • Hi everyone, Is there a way to activate a umts 850 band on a KM900? I mean not the 850 American version.

  • haha same, even whem im listening to music in my pocket, is just shuts off. but ever since i wedged a paper between the battery and the cover shutting off has been minimal. hope that solves ur problem

  • i luv my arena but now its always hanging, why? anybody can tell me...

  • this phone just turns off by itself. anyone know how to fix it? or can i get warranty on this device? its only been 2 month since i bought one.

  • Wow.... that is amazing 4 me, I just happen to know that KM 900 has FM trasmiter. It's really awesome eperience for me.

  • hello Beh, do you have any sugestion about my sim card changing problem? thanx

  • Have any tried using the FM transmitter..? Mine doesn't seem to be working. Wondering if its only me or the hardware problem...

  • "R" = Random Play Mode. "A" = Normal Play Mode (i.e. track play in order). "1" = "Single-track Mode". "Half loop" = track play and stops at the end of the playlist. "Full loop" = track will restarts playing again from its beginning after end of the playlist. Hope the above can clarify you.

  • could some1 tell me what the 5 signs at the bottom left of the screen when playing music is? the 1,r and so on...

  • To those who are having problem with battery life. I know of a little trick u can try: (batt not older than 6mths) 1st discharge your batt fully (meaning use the batt till its dead) Then take it out and put under direct sun light for 10mins (not any longer) Straight back to phone and make sure its fully charge. (repeat cycle 3 or 4 times) U should be able to see some improvement after that. (Remember this only works with Li-lon battery)

  • Yes and yes and no...

  • any1 can answer me the lg arena can install icon or software?

  • on my fone movie maker and favourite images dont have any problem, all work well. You may try another firmware version. Be carefull if you want to change the sim card with another which has different browser setting (APN, proxy addres,etc), because in my fone it causes restart n freeze problem. There's another forum dedicated for arena user, but I rare access it, because I dont have much time for browsing: there maybe another opinion about your fone problem.

  • Regarding alarms:- 1. When setting alarms, use only pre-installed ringtones in Arena (and not downloaded ringtones). 2. When setting multiple alarms, the widget alarm must be used first. Regarding auto redial when headset is used:- 1. There is a button on the headset (behind the tiny mic hole). Pressing the button twice will dial the last number on the phone call history list. Check if it is press accidentally or the button is stuck.

  • Anyone knows what the roaming icon means? I'm trying to remove it, but don't know how? Thanks!

  • Software can cause that....you need to email LG with the symptom hope that(if they care)they will come up with a new patch file..

  • the only problem i experience in arena was, even i turn off the auto redial and when the headset on its always dialng sa last number in your dialled calls

  • do we have dictionary on it preinstalled ?? if no then can we install it and from where?

  • It looks like Alarm problems are common in Arena. I have these problems 1) Some times while setting the alarm, it rings continuously, so you cant save the changes. 2) Alarm wont ring even if it is set and active (not always). Any idea if it is a bug ?

  • It's not solved.... My Auto redial is already turned off and it kept dial the last number whenever the headset is put on...maybe a firmware bug or what?

  • Hi Ahmed, No other voices during the call my trouble with my arena is the quality of the voice which may be affected by the quality of the calling phone or the network. check this with customer service. Try to decrease the volume from the side key during the call, it may solve the problem.

  • Hi Woody, there are 2 problems not responding to 3X factory reset: i can't use movie maker, not working because i can insert photos and then couldn't complete the other steps. other trouble is my favorite photos which appear blank but they appear after touching one of them, Many thanks. By the way your English is very good

  • Hello , i just purshased a new arena and i always hear the voice of the mobile waves during any call . is that normal or it is a defect . knowing that it is not loudy but i can hear it . thanks

  • hey im thinkin about gettin this phone. does anyone know if it gets good apps.

  • Hi, does anyone know how can i made my phone able to read/type Japanese words? have some japan song but it is name as " .mp3"

  • Yes, it can. I transfered few office files and pdf files and Arena opet it without problems.

  • m planning to buy arena ...tell me can it really open office and PDF documents? and how clear are they?

  • And can u buy two battery and replace it whenever you want on iPhone? I have two battery for Arena and when one is emtpy I simply use my secondary battery.

  • I got this brand new phone yesterday and its great(black version). Amazing high quality video record and very good camera. Sound is fabulous with headphones. Before Arena I had iphone 2G and I sold it becouse it is annoying to sync music with iTunes all the time. With my arena it is more easier just connect to usb and use mass storage mode then transfer. I pay for it 170�, more cheaper then iPhone(without contract). I strongly recommand this phone.

  • Can someone have the solution how can we solve the battery problem. With this set LG is providing only 1000 mah battery, but if we see the same rank set of other company are providing 1500 mah battery. Like IPhone... So is it possible to replace this battery with the batter one? Please someone suggest.

  • hey guys, i was wondering if im the only one with the problem of my alarm ringing late for example, an alarm that was supposed to ring at 6:04am ringed at 6:12am instead. thanks

  • Hi all, just found an issue on my arena (v10g). I had ever change my sim card with another from different provider. Seemed so far so good. Then I changed the sim card back with the previous one. All features are still fine, but everytime I access browser setting menu the fone always restart. Had to do 3X factory reset to fix it. I want to know can we make arena be free from that sim card changing issues? (sory for my bad english) Thanx...

  • Can this phone install the garmin phone software seen it do not has symbian or window mobile OS.

  • lg arena is better than nokia x6

  • it is very beautiful. it is where the place to play. its cute

  • forgot something in my last post. I also minimize all display setting to increase battery life. Its still good enough for video watching. But however, I'm not satisfied with battery life afterall. Its really need a beter battery. You are welcome Dr. Sherif. cheer...

  • The battery experience is not well as I thought before buy the phone. Hopes LG will find out the battery solution for KM900 Arena soon.

  • The battery experience is not well as I thought before buy the phone. Hopes LG will find out the battery solution for KM900 Arena soon.

  • Many thanks for your reply. I will try your advices and soon i will tell you the result. Thanks for your great help which made me start to enjoy my arena.

  • I set my arena conection to 850/900/1800 network mode, which it means 3G/HSDPA isnt activated. That can make the battery life a bit longer. I also recomend 3X factory reset to arena owner if their fone has : blank screen, hang, restart issues. hope LG soon release a beter battery for arena. cheer....

  • ur battery is lose wedge it with a peice of paper

  • till nowadays I still sigh with battery life n the useless fm transmitr. Usually I get my fone on charging while I'm browsing. A friend of mind has bought a new battery for reserved, so he can use his fone heavily while traveling where charging is unavailable. I knew the secret menu from this forum too, which is now has 138 pages. On my fone, on calling sound is good enough. If yours doesnt, it might be a hardware problm. I often use speaker phone mode while on calling.

  • Many thanks to woody, all you told about fixing problems of the arena happened. After the change of firmware the phone troubles return again.Then i did 3X factory resetting from secret menu and till now (about 2 weeks) the phone performance is excellent and i am now satisfied with arena. I want ask you how did you know about this secret menu? and if you have any tips about arena, any advices about battery life because is short specially during browsing and video playing. Are we able to change the quality of speaker voice of received calls. Many thanks and best wishes to you.

  • Turn off your handset "Auto Redial" function and not to press the earphone button accidently, as it will automatically call your last dial number. Problem solved.

  • No such thing found fin my set.

  • Below the yellow message note area you have options of "Reply", "Quick Reply" and "Delete" just scroll on the left and rest of the options in which "Forward" is also there. Its absolutely a high class phone. what I found lacking is touch screen softwares.

  • opps... i just discover we can drag to left for the tabs "reply" "quick reply", thn we will see the forward button is there.. :D

  • hi all, i just bought my KM900. satisfied with it. anyway, i just realize that it can not used to forward SMS??? thanks.

  • Could someone telk me why does my phone plays music without sound after second or third song when hearimg througj the head phone and what i can do to stop it. It is really irritating. My version is v10e ty.

  • I've been using this phone for half year,... and I never use the supplied earphone before... one day I use it and forget to unplug it after use and I left my Arena in my room. When I get back my phone is dialling the last number from recent list about 85 times.....and will it keep on redialling if the earphone is keep plugged... So I noticed, if I had one (just one) call using the earphone, it will kept redialling the last number untill i got it unplugged..and its annoying. anyone using arena with this same problem or its just my arena?

  • hi xman which philips battery model is suitable for using in lg km900 arena

  • dear all, can any of u give me a very good opinion & advise about sonyericsson AINO & lg km900 arena. which is better. planning to get either 1 today. thanks.

  • i have tried the battery method and the usb charge method and the battery method merely increases the bench by 10-20 while the usb charge method made mine worse by around 20. so what do i do now

  • You may try the below trick to speed up your Arena as it works for V10e firmware: Remove battery while phone is turned on (locking CPU), insert battery and turn on (Unlocking CPU), phone is again in full speed. (JBenchmark: before 342, after this trick 534) The following are JBenchmark scores for others firmware after turn ON the phone in charging mode: V10.f_00 JBenchmark: Battery startup: 333/326/329/331 USB startup: 509/497/490/498 Charging mode startup: 542/526/539/542 V10.t JBenchmark: before restart 332 after restart in charging mode 537. V10P JBenchmark: before restart 425 after restart in charging mode 549. Hope it can helps.

  • can anyone please tell me if he/she encountered any problem with document viewer as when i try to read a doc. it says low memory when the memory is almost empty and yeah any idea of how to take a pic for what is being played on the screen using the built in cam or whatever ........ thanks

  • thx so much for the info. btw my benchmark was only 42x before and after i have tried out your method and i saw other people's benchmark of about 500~700 at mylgarena.com. how do i get that much. my firmware is km900AT_v10e and i have 900 mb free space and my java memory is full if that helps. do reply please. many thx

  • does arena able to run facebook in full version instead of mobile version? thanks :)

  • you have WiFi, so you can download it from the Internet, and it will be in your map Applications. Also, you can go to Facebook, normally, via your computer, and somewhere at the Facebook page will be a link that says: (paraphrase) If you want to use Fb on your phone smth smht smht, but basically, you write your phone number there and they'll send you the link as a text message to your phone.

  • i have this phone and it is amazing and everything but how do you put applications such as facebook on your widget page?

  • I really like the phone, but I have the feeling that I'm not really capable of using all the possibilities of the Arena; I've heard it has so many options, but I haven't discovered all yet. Could you tell me what the best options are, maybe some options that Arena has and other phones don't. Also, I'm having huge problems with the battery, I have to charge it every second day. I haven't charged it fully when I first got it. Is that the reason? If I buy a new battery will it help and will it affect the phones quality? I would like to get some answers, cause I'm a fresh Arena fan so I'd like to hear some advice from the experienced ones :) Thank's in advance!

  • km900 arena come with std battery li-ion 1000mAh, so can we change to higher mAh battery so it can last longer for the next charge?

  • How to check your Arena speed? 1. Go to below link and download the JBenchmark 2.0 jar file to your PC. 2. Copy the jar file from your PC to your Arena's "Others" folder. 3. Open the jar file in "Others" folder and install it under the "Applications" folder. 4. Go to "Applications" folder, tap launch and choose "Start" from the "Options" menu to run the test and check your JBenchmark 2.0 score (your Arena speed). How to speed up your Arena if you fell your Arena is laggy? 1. Turn off your phone. 2. Plug in the charger to your Arena and turn on the power supply, then wait for few seconds until the battery icon appear. 3. Now, turn on your Arena in charging mode(with power supply). 4. Turn off the power supply and unplug the charger. 4. Launch the JBenchmark 2.0 again and check the score. And you will notice that your Arena's speed or JBenchmark score will increase by turning on your phone in charging mode. Hope it can helps.

  • cannot change wallpaper u can change only lonck mode

  • can u change the back ground image even if its unlocked?pls reply...please tell something about LG arena wallpaper or screen saver..does it has the capacity to be change???pls reply...tnx...

  • Its A really good feature phone i will use from 5-Months I Feel LUCKY this Is really good phone In comparision of Lg-Km900 arena , N-97 , and APPLE I-PHONE .... I CHOSE LG-KM900 ARENA first Bcoz itz FEATURES like camera., sound., vedio., and Most important its Pro. SPEED . / it is really good and VALUABLE PHONE ,.,,,. i LOVE IT

  • hey ppl good day...can this phone be updated?if it can give me the link plz n does it supports themes?...umm... n does it have a firmware? THANX

  • how do i solve the time out error for the you tube client?

  • I think that it's generally a good phone. It does lag quite a bit, and sometimes it freezes, so u have to take out the battery, and put it in again. Also, u can't change the backround image. (U can change the image, but it's for when it's locked. When it's unlocked, the backround is boring. Also, the battery dies very quickly, after like 1 hour of videos, the battery dies. The same thing 4 if ur using the browser. Generally it's an ok phone, but I got quite disapointed about a few things: 1. the battery life. 2.The youtube quality (it sucks!) and 3. the camera quality. Sometimes the pictures r good, and other times the pictures look like they have been taken with a 2 megapixel camera. I recomend the phone 4 people that don't mind taking their battery out, every now and then, and for people that wan't a cheap iphone. (It's kinda the same as an Iphone)

  • its defend on your firmwre you use.. you can change your firmware to the new one to make your phone fast.. for the filipino user on this phone.. please visit thanks..

  • It's good phone. But, it is slow! I mean Slow, really slow response.

  • my phone has been fine for few months had to send it off to repair last week as screen died and only way to use it was keep conecting it to mains. They upgraded the software i got it back yesterday and today it has same problem and are now going to change phone for me. Hopefully for something completely different. so if ur screan goes phone is kaput.

  • hey everi1 :) can some1 tell is this a good phone ? cuz i want to buy it ?

  • hi. could some1 tell me how to get better youtube video quality,enlarge it and download it when using bolt browser 1.7. thx =D

  • no mater what your firmware vrsion is, you might need factory resets if your phone still have bugs after firmware update/refill. But if you're not satisfied with Arena perfomance afterall, try to look for another phone. Btw, Arena UI is more userfriendly than Jet. Now I'm satisfied enough with my Arena perfomance. Factory reset is very usefull for me. cheers...

  • "this phone is awesome. i bought it and i almost cried." haha miq luna, i like what you said! you just made me laugh!:D im planning to buy also, i guess i will cry too :)

  • Thank for your reply, i'll try this after i get the phone back from customer service as they told me that it need a new soft ware, by the way soft ware of my arena is V10f. I'm thinking nowadays to replace it with samsung jet what do you think is that a good change or not. Thanks in advance

  • can any one say is there apps available for arena like msn, yahoo messenger etc ???

  • There is no specific ringtone menu on LG Arena. If you wanna change a ringtone just tap a sound file (but not the play icon) n there'll several option menu appear. And then choose "Use as" option menu. There you can make your selected sound file as a ringtone. hope this can help...

  • this phone is awesome. i bought it and i almost cried.

  • for me it's the samsung jet

  • in my experience (with v10g firmware vrsion) doing sequential 3X factory reset (without sim & memory card inserted) from secret menu (1809#*900# from dialpad) may fix that kind problems. But it will wipe handset memory data off (sms, contact, images, etc) without any confirm. Even though after firmware update, you might need to do so, if that kind problems still appear. Try it, if you think its necessary.

  • Hi, I was considering to buy either this model or the GM750, although this model looks months older, seems its still better than the GM750 since it got a better video quality, screen & also supports DIVX...the problem is that I've read so many negative feed backs especially for this model & also the other one that left me completely blinded...poor battery life, software problems, screen etc... I have the MDA WinMo & New battery lasts only for a day if used lightly, which is truly a drawback.. The Arena is gd priced if purchased from ebay Unlocked however the GM 750 retails for �329.00 from Vodafone & LOCKED! but 2yrs warranty... Would really appreciate if those who own one can give me the last verdict.. :) Thanks

  • How do i go about in stalling ring tones can,t find any thing relating to them. Many thanks.

  • Stupid that some other guy need American version 850/1900,while the phone is UMTS 2100,however I though this phone is really suck,I got one,tired.

  • stop buying china phones.

  • Many thanks for your concern, but i was describing the quality of sound during receiving a call. What are your suggestions about my other problems is it a virus or i need to update software, by the way the soft ware in my arena is KM900AT_V10f.

  • you said "Quality of the sound in speaker is below average." i don't think so. do u turn the dolby mobile thing? it's superb.

  • disadvantages: - can't turn off the sound of the camera - can't send or receive business card - can't fast forward while watching the video - slow operation when opening gallery but generally, i love this phone!

  • how do i set up streaming for youtube when i use the bolt browser as whenever i click to play a video, it makes me download it instead and when i do download it, it only downloads around 1min+ and not the whole video. many thx!

  • Dear Beh, many thanks for your help. I have more problems with my arena: 1- It turn off and restart by itself when i try to edit a photo. 2- Movie maker is not working. 3- In capturing a photo there is a delay after hearing the sound of the shutter. 4- Quality of the sound in speaker is below average. Can you help with any of those problems.

  • please no one buy this piece of crap, mine restarts few times a day without any cause, the accelometer is total crap. Switches back and forth without any reason.. if you really want to buy one.. buy mine so i can get a proper phone.

  • Thanks for the answer man ... I appreciate it.

  • 14 hours charge - no problem. Cheers.

  • when i browse on the bolt browser on my phone, the panning is extremely slow and delayish. when i use the original browser, the same thing happens except there is extreme lag especially when i pinch zoom. whats wrong? help meh thx

  • could anyone tell me if there is any way to make the slow km900 faster? it is very sluggish

  • a signed vrsion allow you to use boltbrowser with fewer permission prompt during file or network acces on your phone. you can learn more about boltbrowser from the link below : hope this can help...

  • whats the difference between signed and unsigned?

  • Can you help ? I see it is rotate screen is to slow, and some software that was install in the phone is can not rotated Please guide for software support

  • hey does anyone knows how many times can it zoom with it's camera?. . .

  • use Arena native browser or a SIGNATURED opera mini to open the link below : follow the onscreen instructions n get a signed version (dualsign, verysign, or thawte) but if you cant get a signed vrsion, get an unsigned. btw, about 2 month ago I had trouble to get a signed vrsion. All I got just unsigned vrsion. I could fix this by doing 3x factory reset from secret menu. But I hope you can get a signed vrsion from the link above without any trouble. good luck...

  • some1 help me pls.. bolt browser cannot be installed on my phone. i have oprea mini inside if that helps

  • I had a question ... I have recently asked the LG people about the 14 hours first charge of the Arena, and they replied positively, i.e. that is, it has to be charged for 14 hours for the first time ... so there ... I am more confused because I read that for this specific kind of batteries one should nor overcharge ... ! So my question to anyone who has an Arena ... how did you charge it for the first time? Do you think now that your first charge or overcharge had an effect on the subsequent battery performance? Thanks in advance for your reply 3^

  • got my 3G Iphone stashed away somewhere.never regretted picking up after the Arena.does the job and delivers even more than the iphone.btw, im'a go ahead and pick up the 64gb ipod touch to complement my wifi browsing.doesnt even begin to compare the Iphone class UI with the arena - or with any other phone for that matter.

  • If ur on a tight budget and an iPhone is out of reach, this fone may be ur 2nd option

  • cannot use a stylus or pen or anything like that as touch is heat sensitive not touch like the KU990

  • you can not use a stylus on Arena screen anyway. Its a capasitive screen (not a resistive) which only detect skin electricity everytime you touch the screen. If you think its necessery to protect your screen with a screen guard, go for it. The touchscreen will still work fine. I have it on my Arena too.

  • IF the Seventh & Eighth digits of IMEI are 00 this means the cell phone is original ... does this apply to only LG phones ? if no whats the method to find out in case of other brands.

  • hands-on experience with this unit: >pros: -excellent music player, audio output on dolby surround easily tops the iphone experience, given you're using a quality headset,im using one with a 40mm driver -UI rivals the iphone,same capacitive screen...iphone is the most fluid,nonetheless -very easy access on all application and useful phone contents -camera flash, though non-xenon and non-dual, is good enough to not produce artificial enviro-lighting... -has expansion slot for a micro SD,8gb of flash mem is good enough for standard users,those on the music and video side will find it useful in upgrading to 32gb more -pocket friendly -front camera even takes quality photo and video -3.5mm standard audio/video port -classy and sleek body design -good battery life...will need to recharge though at the end of the day... -alpha numeric kb is spacious enough even for a big guy like me -easily plays most mpeg4 videos -full icon menu access -security can be enabled for most applications >cons -qwerty pad is kinda difficult for thumb typing -using the web browser proves difficult due to the limited screen size,iphone still rocks..big time... -sim card slot lies underneath the battery and is not hot-swappable,compared to iphone... -memory card is hot swappable but still needs to take out the backplate to do so... these are first hand experience... over-all,i'd rate the arena with an 8.5 user-friendliness is a big boost,iphone on the other hand rates at 6,big time useless without an itune installed on you -

  • Hi all! How does affect the touching capabilities of the Arena if you use a screen protector foil? Would be actually a necessary step? Do i need to get a stylus afterward? Pro & cons. Thanks for the comments :-)

  • Has anybody ever witnessed the american version of this celly anywhere?

  • i just want to know what OS they are using for KM900

  • Always use "Mass storage" USB Connection Mode to transfer your multimedia files (i.e. video, photo & etc) from your PC to Arena. You will benefit for the below mentioned: 1. EXPEDITE your file transfer processing time by 2 to 3X faster if compared to LG PC Suite. How it works? ANSWER: Open the multimedia files in your PC > select & mark all the files you wish to transfer > once done, point your mouse's cursor to your selected files and right click the mouse, use "Copy" & "Paste" function from the shortcut menu to transfer your files from your PC to Arena. Note: Typically, G drive is for handset memory, while F drive is for External memory, which show in your PC "My Computer". 2. Transfer VIRUS FREE multimedia files from your PC to your Arena. How it works? ANSWER: Open & mark your multimedia files in your PC prior to transfer the files to your Arena > right click the mouse & click on "Scan with XXXX" (e.g. scan with AVG Free") > Now, your PC will start to scan your multimedia file you selected and once completed it will show you scan results. If the scan results show no infection, then you are save to transfer your multimedia files from your PC to Arena. Hope it will helps.

  • Many thanks Beh, thanks for your help. Can you plz tell me if anti-virus is needed because i download files (pictures & videos specially from Zedge.net)and if you know any useful and safe sites in the net. Thanks a lot.

  • Thanx alot! I called and they gave me all the codes and steps to take. Now i can receive them and send them too :)

  • its because its not set-up right.you need to call your provider (vodafone,orange or who-ever)so they can send you a txt with the mms configuration.if yourve already done that then you need to go into mms settings and change the settings manually.better that they help you themselves cos i dont want to tell you how to do it and screw-up your phone.anyway i had to go into main menu-message-settings-mms-mms profile-and then choose orangeMMS even after they sent me the config..its happened to me with my last 2 previous phones too.hope it helps but call them first cos i dont wanna bum-up your fone but try it if you like.hope it helps

  • I am considering to get a screen protector foil. Is it actually a necessary step? Will it affect the touching capabilities? Do i need to get a stylus afterward? Pro & cons please Thanks

  • hey does this phone now supports flash for internet browsing? the review here in GSMarena said that it doesnt, but an article about the phone in wikipedia said it does. im considering getting this or the samsung marvel mainy because i wanted a portable internet browser. a little help pls?

  • Below is the step by step procedure for you how to move your photos to a designated folder: Go to "My Stuff" > "My Images" > tap the option button at top left corner > tap "New folder", for example name it as "Family" or any others name as you like for easier differentiate > Now, go to "My Stuff" and open "My images" folder > tap the option button at top left corner > tap "Move" > marked or select the photos you want to move to your designated folder you create before (i.e Family) > tap "Move files" at the middle of the top screen > tap the phone icon at top screen for handset memory > tap "Select" for "Family" folder and this will complete the photos moving procedure from "My images" folder to your designated folder (i.e "Family"). Btw, you can PRIVACY your multimedia files such as videos, pictures, sound and others application as well, which saved in "Handset memory" by turning "On" the "Application lock" in "Phone settings" menu.

  • plz tell me if i can put my photos in different albums e.g. nature, family ...etc

  • I'm having trouble with the MMS retrieving. I get the text but it never gets to open, and it says "retrieving" for hours..Could anybody help me out with this issue? THe firmware is v10D and the phone is unlocked..what should i do!

  • which navigation software that you recommended? I've tried mgmaps 1.42.01, but I cant get the signed version. The message said "autentification failed". the unsigned vrsion seems cant use gps receiver, it shows map only. But now I still check it out,,,

  • hey does this phone now supports flash for internet browsing? the review here in GSMarena said that it doesnt, but an article about the phone in wikipedia said it does. im considering getting this or the samsung marvel mainy because i wanted a portable internet browser. a little help pls?

  • For free GPS map, use Mobile GMaps ver 142. Use Mapcacher to download map. Google it, and read from lgarena forum how to set up. PS: when using " 1809#*900# " to access the GPS settings, DO NOT PRESS " Factory Reset", it WILL NOT confirm a second time, and you will lose all data you copied or installed in your KM900. My Piesel Viewer won't function again, i can't read pdf files, after i accidentally press the factory reset but otherwise the phone is normal. The GPS function in Arena is accurate and fast.

  • Google maps is a crappy navigation software for mobile phone, it still beta version and not every region is supported yet. You may try to change to another navigation software as link stated below: My navigation software (*maps) worked very well with the settings I posted here before. It can track and shows very accurate position even I'm located at underground station.

  • in my experience, do 3X factory reset by typing 1809#*900# (without sim & memory card inserted) from dialpad may fix that issue. But it will wipe your phone memory data off. No more blank screen on my phone when receive a call. (I like to use speaker phone mode) but if the issue still persist, try to redownload again, either visit LG customer support to refill your firmware although with previous vrsion. Good Luck...

  • I've check the gps setting in the secret menu as you mentioned. But all parameters setting are just the same with the list you've written. Then I try to run google maps, and still shows the wrong potition. What are next steps Beh? So many thanx.....

  • Guys...i reli need some help here...my phone hang/stucked whenever i'm receiving call even after i upgraded my firmware..what can i do about it? this reli annoyed me badly esp when expectin sum important calls....help me plz...

  • Anybody knows where we can get the american version of this phone with HSDPA850/1900? All I see is the version with HSDPA2100. Thanx

  • Hi woody, Now, go to "Connectivity" to set your GPS type to "Assisted GPS" (WAP) and follow my below step by step procedure for GPS settings in secret/service menu: Go to service menu (i.e. type 1809#*900#) > "Others" > "A-GPS Test" > "Settings": Please follow the below settings code in my Arena: GPS Type - SUPL A-GPS Fix type � Tracking Operation mode - MS Based QoS Setting: H-Accuracy � 50 V-Accuracy � 100 Timeout � 150 SLP Mode � Auto SUPL Setting: SPL Address - lge.glpals.com SPL Port � 7275 P.S. Please follow the above setting procedures CAREFULLY in secret menu to avoid mis-tap others setting parameters, particularly the "Factory reset", it will wipe off everything in your phone without any warning or prompt when you tap on it. Remember to use the "Back" button to exit after each individual setting and to your homescreen as well once completed. Please try again your GPS performance functionality once completed the above settings. If problem persist, I will guide you to the next steps in other post. Hope it will helps and able to fix the issue you encountered.

  • try getjar.com or mobileheart.com

  • Hi Beh, I've tried all gps type setting, they locate me on different potition, but both still show wrong potition. I remember first time I got my Arena hand on. They could locate my phone accurately. could this issue due to hardware defect? should I visit LG customer support? Thanx...

  • my dad has had this phone for quite some time and really likes it but would now like to start downloading apps, so are there any decent sites anyone could recommend to download them from?

  • Oh yeah I forgot my third question. How can I make video calls? Anytime that I put video call with a contact it says "video call unavailable"...with all my numbers..is this normal?

  • I'm having trouble with the MMS retrieving. I get the text but it never gets to open, and it says "retrieving" for hours..what should I do? THe firmware is v10D and the phone is unlocked..should I update it? Thanks for ur help!

  • I also encountered the same with you. But, you may try change the network setting for your GPS type to "Assisted GPS", instead of "Stand alone". It works for me after I change the setting as follows: SETTINGS > Connectivity > GPS type > "Assisted GPS".

  • Thanx for your usefull explaination. I have tried that, and can increase fm signal transmision on my phone although only up to 2 meters. Its a lot beter than before. Arena seems need an extra antena for its fm transmiter. Wish I could make a fixed one. btw, seems I have another problm, GPS. It locates my phone 2 km away from the real potition. Is there a way to fix it? thanx again...

  • poor battery like all lg phones. no wonder though

  • Hi Woody, Below is the simple trick for you to improve or increase the frequency signal transmission distance from 1 foot up to 6 meters. 1. Find a small metal (i.e triangle paper clip) and bend it by hand to a straight line. 2. Gently place & paste it on the metal frame of your Arena's camera lens at the back (battery cover no need to remove). Now, you will find something amazing will happen. NOTE: Be careful not to scratch the camera lens when you put a small metal on the frame. Hope it will helps.

  • give it time, it will disappoint you more: 1. lock up 2. one day it frooze, took me 3 hrs to get it back on, when it did no audio on the phone, only when making a call, so no alarms, ringtones, mp3. they really got us in an arena.

  • Hi Beh, how long distance your Arena fm transmitr can send music to a fm radio? I've already update my phone firmware to V10h from previous V10b, but sadly the fm transmitr is very very weak. I have to put my phone INSIDE fm radio box to transmit music. any (>"'"

  • I bought this phone earlier on in the week and thought it was AMAZING!! Then it started flickering and screen kept burning in, it is a FABULOUS phone but I am so sad it is faulty :(

  • If the phone is very laggy etc. Just download an new Firwmare. Here are the reviews pros/cons about each firmware: And here is the list of latest firmwares:

  • Great phone!!! realy nice and user friendly interface, although it somtimes freezes in message box... great camera for a phone!Good for phone fanatics with limited budget.

  • Hey i got problem.. How to know what version/recent software is my arena?

  • Type *#06# on your mobile and the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI)number appears. Then check the 7th and 8th numbers as shown below: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7th 8th 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 IMEI# x x x x x x ? ? x x x x x x x

  • Its very slow and laggy for a phone with such a quick processor and if you can type on the qwerty keyboard you have baby hands. The dictionary is frustrating to use and if they put as much effort into the default browser as they did making stupid cubes spin around then it might be an ok phone. But its not. Period. It is so unresponsive while typing an sms quickly and so prone to mistakes that I cant believe it got released. This is NOT a phone for people who text a lot. I knew I should have got an e71/e72 Nokia over LG's garbage. Its a mistake I wont make again. Screw touch screen phones, they have a long way to go.

  • how can i find my 7th and 8th digit is 02-08-10.....
