LG KU970 Shine - User Reviews

  • When I had this phone it served me well I don't really have a problem with it except for no memory card slot........

  • I can't access my files while i'm in applications eg face book i can't upload what can i do

  • yeah thus awsome cell phone i have been using this for a year this is amazing .... this phone has dual camera ... inshort this is great

  • is the phone a 3g phone?

  • I had this phone for thre months and seriously I FED UP OF IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The batery does not last long practically 1 day on normal usage,The sound is to low,I gets hot when talking on it,The bluetoth recieves and sends files slow,The camera takes long to start,Poor video and camera quality,It drops my cals and texts i have to re send them sometimes because they dont send sometimes,The keypad buttons are to hard to press,The phone cuts off at certain times and my Important calls are un answered and my girlfrient thinks im cheating because when she calls sometimes the phone has cut off.So i got some kerosine a lighter and lit it ablaze and looked at it and laughed maniacally and then pissed on it,Then i went down to the store and bought a Sony Ericsson W595 Can anyone tell me is this a good buy or should i torch him like i did the other dude.

  • This a poor design.The LCD can get damaged easily due to flexible outer cover.and also not support to windows vista/windows 7

  • LOL ... the phone with card slot under the sim isn't ku970 but ke970 which is identic with ku970 ... ke970 is a bit better

  • There's an error in specs - in this phone memry card slot is avaliable, inside below the battery

  • this is a bullshit mogile from lg

  • in srilanka lg ku970 shine phone rerper center how is ?

  • camera start error

  • The Phone is great it has very good features it future include folder locker and files lockler

  • Ive been using this for 2 year. It was great. The camera was good. The only problem is the sound was too low..

  • yes the front camera works.. try to explore your phone setting so you'll be able to know..

  • i'so sorry that no one can have his windows xp for connecting his phone and find more that that .but it's real a good phone.why?

  • yes this phone have password protect for files and folders.. ;)

  • The display is unreadable when you are outside a building or in the field. The software(menus) is lacking of shortcuts whem compared to European brands.And battery only last for 1 day of usage?

  • The display is unreadable when you are outside a building or in the field. Tge software(menus) is lacking of shortcuts whem compared to European brands.And battery only last for 1 day of usage?

  • where can i get the software and drivers for vista [email protected]

  • excellend phone. good mem. good photo's. good reception. tones,musiek,pick's good. All i need is the software for vista to operate my phone on the computer

  • good phone and perfect camera.....

  • i just bought mine and the buttons next to the scroller and the scroller button it self dont work, the scroller still scrolls up and down but u cant push it so the "ok" button doesnt work so basically the phone is useless without that button, does anybody else have this problem?

  • hi, the "signal problem" is not handset related weakness: it is related to stregth of broad band in am area. the handset can be set to not use 3g broad band and then signal strength doubles from 2bars to 4 or 5 bars. this is a high quality product that can be owned with confidence. (i have owned many, many phones from many brands). chris;

  • hey I just read your message and...I have to ask you, did you write the whole msg and want to go up and down or you just want to go to the line below? Because you can`t do it if your text isn`t written in whole...than you can scrool your wheel and go up an down your text, othervisw NO! I have LG KE970 for a year and I know everything about it...

  • does this phone have blacklist? thank you

  • does tis phone has any problem ??????? is it serious ???? i heard that it has signal problem ?? is that every phone lik that ? o just some nt lucky ??

  • I really like this phone. Although the battery life is only around 2 days for me as I do use my phone a lot. I have one charger at home, one at the office and a car charger. I would highly recommend having more than one charger for this phone then that solves the problem of having crappy battery life.

  • Thank you friend but it just inserts symbol 1 there and it doesn't go to below line.

  • when writing a msg than u have to press the * key and after than press 1 and press ok button now u will onto yhe next line ok Take Care Bye [email protected]

  • Hi every body, can you please tell me how to make an enter and go to next line while typing messages in my shine gold mobile KE 970 phone?

  • does the front camera work?

  • normal phone

  • I love this telephone. All of my friends like my phone. Byt his price is very low naw. Everyone can buy it. I am said about that :(. I pay it 200 $ byt naw it cost 130 $

  • this phone was alright when it came out but later on it will have battery and signal problems

  • No additional memory?

  • I hate this phone so much. I didn't really want it in the beginning but had to get it because that was the upgrade deal so w/e. But it always is losing service in my back pocket. I have to keep it out of areas that it won't get service i.e. back pocket, purse, jacket pocket. Ha even sometimes in my hand it won't get service, and then when I hold it in the air to get service it takes about 5 minutes. It's crazy. Also hate that you can't password lock it or anything in it like messaging, photos, music NOTHING. I could go on and on about how much I hate it.

  • i have one:P

  • ya you cant use thesse in america....

  • i want one sooo badd!! my cousin got one and i'm soo jealous...theyre so pretty

  • yes i know what you mean. i cant even put the ringtones that i want on it because the sound is to low!

  • i love it! it is so pretty! and i love the fact that is has a mirror built in. Mine is coming in the mail and i should be getting it in another day or so. I cant wait!

  • its volume is too low...i can`t haerd it

  • i love this phone", its my present phone my bf gave this to me & i love every features of it. i love the way i can take a picture of myself (internal) & the built in light, im using it as a flashlight so cool", & yeah the mirror", every girl loves a mirror esp. if its on your phone",

  • A very nice phone.If you want ,give it to me.

  • a gorgeus phone.

  • hmm.. i have been using it for a year now. and everything worked fine except for my screen =.= i slid my phone up and de screens go distorted with big pixels. i nid to keep sliding it back and up to get my wallpaper seen perfectly . and over de time, the plastic covering de numpads begin to tear. for me, it doesn't look that good to me as this phone is for the looks .and the lights on de numpads are not shining as beautiful as the time the numpad is perfectly fine. BUT this is because im a heavy message user. thats why there is this problem. the battery life is seriously little. i had a call after fulling charging and de battery went 1/2 after talking abt 10-20mins, it also went seriously hot. when the phone is exposed under the sun, i can hardly see any thing displayed. the screen that is acting as a mirror is quite distorted too.you wont be able to do make up and stuffs with the distorted looks of you. the mp3 is seriously soft but i think it produces a nice sound .the interface for the phone doesn't really satisfy me.it acts like a visualization that does not interacts with the songs. so it just goes repeating itself again and again. to find music in the Sounds file, you must scroll down slowly to find it. you cant type anything to make ur search easier. the right arrow keys did help to speed up the scrolling speed but it isnt as fast as keywords to find your songs. the scroller works like a charm though (: i had no troubles scrolling for my messages quickly. although it gets a little dirty as there are stripes of holes that could accumulate dirts. i don realli like the icons in the phone. it doesnt seemed as nice as the menu interface which is to my liking. the camera is working just fine (: the video recording isn't nice when it was being played in the phone.. the quality isn't that nice although u can watch it landscape . one thing that realli irritates me is the reception =.= i went underground and they completely unable to find for a network. in some parts of my house also had the same problem which is very fustrating . i dunno if it was just me but when i opened up my battery cover, there are lots of dust accumulated on it. i got no idea how it got in as i don open my battery cover to charge my phone. it seemed to be fitted perfectly with the camera etc. the side buttons are losing their paint or whatever they did to the buttons. it now becomes a matt button that doesnt really look good. the aluminium back can easily get scratched and be seen obviously. this phone cant see pictures that are of a big size, for example, my father sends me a pic from his sony ericson phone that he has taken. he can view it but i cant. the phone keeps saying the "file has exceeded the size" or something like that. and lastly, the charging of the phone and the headphone for the phone shouldnt share the same port. i cant listen to my songs while charging. or talking on the headphone and charging at the same time. other than all these comments, this phone works just fine as a good texting machine, with a nice menu interface, capability of blinding dogs, a user-friendly camera and eye catcher for passer-bys (:

  • Does anyone know why you can't use MP4 ringtones as a ringtone on this phone???

  • Hi ni phone ya wasenge. i hope Prity gave dis phone 2 her watchman.

  • Well i have had this phone for about 3 months now and i must admit that i am i love with its look in general as well as most of it's features. The only thing i dislike about this phone is that i can't lock specific applications (eg. messages). The memory on the phone is good enough so u don't need a memory card. Oh... i should warn that u should b careful when putting the phone to charge, i have noticed that it has the tendency to shock because of it's 'metal make' i guess. All in all i highly recommend this phone=)

  • hi, i have a Question...how do u dl games etc to the phone...also i can't seem to get anything on my phone from the pc or vice versa...had i seen some of these comments before i purchased this phone i would have gotten something else...bummer...someone help please....~LadyFunk~

  • I really love this phone and am going crazy have to buy it,butam desturb by comments am reading... Anywayz how much does it cost??? Never the less am gettting 1 4 my sweet self.

  • where would i got to get the software for my computer? because i want to unload and upload my items from my computer to my phone and my phone to my computer. plesae help

  • I saw in the video of this phone there is a Mobile TV feature in it's menue.May I know Do we can watch TV through this phone?

  • I hope the people at LG read this! LG really needs to make this phone compatible with Vista OS. I have read on so many forums the same problem experienced by others. There are more and more people using Vista. I think it's so stupid that LG has not made the software compatible with Vista yet. It's ridiculous.

  • I have Windows Vista on my laptop and I can't load the LG-KU970 software, its not compatiable with it. But it should work fine on XP. I have just bluetoothed music to my phone from my laptop, maybe try that.

  • i have lg shine that is no use to anyone,as no one can hear it ring,its so low,i cant use it, but pay every month for,nice phone pity about the sound

  • I use to have the LG KU800 chocolate & loved it but unfortunately got water on it and stuffed it so I got the LGKE970 which looks awesome but I hated the way it ran with only a few options for text tones, the T9 texting was stupid & just the general way it ran compared to my LG KU800 chocolate. The LG KE970 was faulty after a few days so got it "fixed" and still faulty, so I took it back and demanded a new phone and got the LG KU970 and really really like it. It runs exactly like my last LG KU800 chocolate, good amount of internal memory being 512mbs, nice big screen, good camera & easy to use texts. A really nice phone! Battery lasts me around 3 days. All and all very happy with this phone.

  • got all good features. just find it doesn't have good signal strength. My last phone was motorola V3. signal was always there, while the shine was always no service. Then in a blink of an eye, 4 bars will appear, then no service again. Other than that, good fetures and large memory. Phone software won't work with vista.

  • i soooo luv it ..... i am soon going to get one like it but instead its going to be PINk ... however unfortuntely , with all these negativ comments , it is not making me any courage to buy it , but hey wtf .... u can always go to the shop from where you bought it and ask them to rearrange it . sooooo cant just wait 4 it ^.^... tnx

  • can you put your own music, in it? should i buy one?

  • I Think this phone is a very good phone... The phone has good features and its memory is large enough... i would recommend this phone to any other buyers.. and its really fun to play with..

  • Dont chane your opinion, this is a great and complete celphone :D

  • It looks quite good not bad features but LG could have done way better at this one. i'm disapointed .very low volume!!!!!!!! and lacking a few features.

  • I wanted to buy this phone soon, as it looks good and features are good enough too, But I'm felling worried after reading all comments about the Phone. :-( Should I change my decision?

  • This is a crappy phone, i never thought LG will be like this. looks good, very girlish, but its only the look. sound quality is very bad. and just one place to put the charger and the hands free. I will not recommend this phone to any one.

  • Totally agree, rubbish phone - even the mirror doesn't do its job properly unless you want to look distorted! not a large memory either ...

  • this phone is just nice looking it is crap the volume is very low and i agree with ayana

  • i hate this phone this is the first lg i bought i will not buy another one again

  • no and do not buy it is just nice looking but the features normal

  • i can get my txt message/voice mail icons to go away. I have no new text messages and no voice mails at all, but the icons are still there. Can anyone please help?

  • I have a message PLMN not assigned can anyone help

  • I am reading the features on this phone and I am wondering if it has FM radio cuz I am not seeing that. Thanks

  • is the shine able to run a QR reader?

  • people complaining about the battery lifetime. well you should charge it FULLY before yu turn it on, the same with digital cameras and other phones because if you turn it on when its only half charged, the phone will think that the full potential of the battery is only half!

  • good yessssssssssssssssss

  • I have recently purchase the shine,what is the way to insert your sim card & is there another battery that can replace the present one.

  • Do u get a USB cord with it so u can put ringtones on iT?????

  • Using abt a year now. Cam is good, 3G modem is good, best slider feel among most sliders I encountered. Easier to use than my samsung D900, SE W880. Batt is not so good. Sound not loud enough.

  • ...260 hours standby, my hat! It's a typical LG battery, lasts 3 or 4 days at most, and you can expect that battery life to go within a year. Text messaging speed is also pretty lamentable. ...Lucky for me I only bought this on aesthetic value, so no disappointments there. :)

  • depends who your network provider is. if you have 3 network configurations and are on the 3 network, it's easy. :D

  • mobango.com

  • sir/ma'am, how can i download games for my KU970 LG phone? or can you give me specific sites to download from.. thanks..more power.. mabuhay..

  • Sir, how can i download MP3 to my LGku 970?

  • It is a good phone so anybody who wants to by a stylidh phone with good features this is the one.Though it does scratch easily but dont let this put you off.

  • Is it just me or does this phone crush ur fingers when u close it. It has happened to me several times... well maybe if crazy :) Besides the pain its a nice phone :)

  • the battery for this piece of metal is crap. this phone only looks good seriously. i guess it is ok but its features are reli crap and its battery is IS SO CRAP. the only good points are: its cheap and it looks good and it matches my style.

  • hmmm, i didnt get it yet, but i want it!

  • The LG shine just keeps shutting off by itself and the Mp3 is not loud enough. Battery life is less than average. This phone only looks good.

  • For all of you having mp3 issues, if you use the program "Yahoo! Music Jukebox" transfering all of your mp3's is a piece of cake. I too am starting to have problems with my Shine, the darn thing keeps turning off on its own...:-(

  • Have had this phone for one month now and I can safely say that it is a mediocre phone. Average battery life, average mp3-player which does not play loud enough. The phone looks great though with it's clean, sleek mirrored coating...

  • Within the first month my Shine wouldn't hold a charge and the second month it won't turn on after charging. Afraid this phone has problems!

  • This piece of crap phone keeps giving me problems!!! I've had it for not even 2 months yet! These are all of the problems w/ the LG Shine SLider: phone turns off by itself, att logo gets stalled, split and inverted screen of screensaver (not even downloaded), no calls coming through, my voice messages and texts will be received only after i turned off the phone and back on, texts wouldnt go through, when people call me i would get a blank txt message..... ahh mustve left some out.. but this is soooooooooo frustrating! i had 2 replacements already!!! tomorrow a new one will be sent.. and the rule for getting a new make and model is if they find a defect on the last replacement then they will go ahead and let me choose a new phone!!!

  • i'm sorry, i meant at Danny!!

  • at John: No, you cannot type enter to change the row.

  • We bought the LG Shine for our daughter only two months ago and it is now a paperweight. The screen went black, there are lines through it and the phone just won't work. She says it would turn itself off at random before the screen problem. We took it to the store where it was purchased and they claim they can't replace it. Guess we'll be trying to contact the manufacturer tomorrow.

  • I've just bought my LG KU970, wondering that this phone is compatible for the window XP? becuase i've been trying to install the software, but it seems error. Anyone know what is going on? How can I install the software in order to drag my mp3 songs to the phone? Thanks so much.

  • Can this phone type "enter" so we can change the row when we type sms? KE770 doesn't have it..

  • i got the same problem w/ john, i can't figure out the MP3. pls. can somebody help me to find the MP3?

  • Its me, who was wondering about the screen problem - I got my brother to take it in, who just happens to be quite Buff and they took it, didn't make me pay $110 and didn't argue at all. If there isn't a physical crack oh the glass, obviously its not personal damage, coz then where is the 'crack' so to speak. And apparently its a common problem with LCD screens to sort of die. Take it back to them or call the manufacturer.

  • Hi, I love this phone and its style..but the fact that the battery life is soo bad really gets to me. Can anyone tell me if there is an extended battery for this phone?????? Thanks.

  • Yes, I got the same problem. I didn't do anything to my phone, and the screen cracked. I've only had the phone for 3 months, and they want me to pay over $300 to replace it. That is just insane. They keep saying it is physical damage and not a defect, so though luck for me. I am really angry about this.

  • Just wondering if anyone has had problems with their screen of their LGKU970? I've had mine about 5 months and out of hte blue, the screen has got black lines all over it. The store I bought it from say it is not a manufacturing problem and has been 'damaged', but i know that this is not the case. Any info would be appreciated :)

  • Yes,but KU model has 512 Mb's of integrated memory

  • how to see MMs for Lg Ku970.

  • I have all the software on my computer for this phone but can't figure out how to put music from the computer onto my phone, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Been using few months now. All features excellent. Only 2 cons. Sound is not loud enough. Battery life is not long enough. I dont have other problems like other peoples here have. Everything is working fine. Text msg is fine. Bluetooth, 3G modem, Video call etc etc are all working perfectly.

  • the difference between this and the ke model is in australia you can be with the "3" network and it works fine with this ku model, but cant with the ke model. also the ke model has a micro memory card slot and the ku doesn't. i also agree that it does not provide a shortcut to the inbox to read the msg recieved is crappy. other then that good phone

  • I've recently bought this phone but something about it really bugs me and I can't seem to find my solution even in the manual. When I receive an sms, my phone is usually in its 'closed' position, it show up in the form of an envelope and in order to read it, you must go into your Inbox and read it from there. It doesn't actually show a box that reads, "New Message. Open now?" like it does with other mobile phones and you can read it straight away. However, just then I got an sms whilst my phone was in its 'open' position and I could read my message straight away by clicking on the 'yes' option for reading it now. Does that mean my phone needs to be UNLOCKED in the 'closed' position in order to do this? Does anyone else have this problem?

  • hi everyone...can anyone tell me: does this phone have animations ie. animated icons to put into ur text messages? i have only ben able to find basic symbols..pathetic really...the kg 800 chocolate has animated icons so why doesnt the shine? phone looks great and has enough memory on the upside...

  • Ive had problems with text messages failing going straight to outbox and staying there it usually happens when you hit reply. My screen also cracked when the phone vibrated on the table. Other then that its a fantastic phone!

  • Do you now SAR specification for this model

  • This phone is great, i've had it nearly a year. The screen is still in pretty good condition and everything, considering i just throw it in my handbag with keys and everything. one thing that i find happens alot is when u receive a txt message n go to reply it goes back into main screen and i cant reply. it sometimes fixes when i turn my phone off and back on. otherwise sometimes i have to just wait it out. does anyone else have this problem?

  • the battery life on this phone is SHIIIIIIIITTTT, and the ringing volume is very soft, on the upside the camera is fantastic.

  • Hey everyone ive had this phone for over a year now and at first it was great and fast but ova the time ive had it, its got a few scratches on the screen and yes it i s very hard to see the screen when the suns shinning. Also i still havent been able to use the modem on it so if you know hw pleeeeasee let me know. Howeva this phone takes great pikz and has alot of memory ive also dropped mine on the ground alot and its still in perfect condition. it has also been dropped in our pool thanks to my nephew and i gave it time to dry out and its perfect...

  • Love the metal finishing on this Shine, great sleek style, I was really wanting this until I looked closer at Owners Opinions. { Complaints included: Metal scratching, not being able to see the screen in the sunlight, very soft ring volume, and the mirrored screen scratching easily.} Also, some people said it was a Guy-ish phone, which I don't see, I can see a girl carrying this around, Especially since it has a mirror on it =)

  • The differences between this Handy and the KE version isn�t very much it is just that this one has UMTS built in and you can phone on video telephony you have the front kamera and the back kamera an otherwise there is no great difference between this one an the KE version

  • I wanna buy this phone but I don't now is this a good phone.To me this is almoust the same phone as LG KE970.So can anyone please tell me diferences betwen these two models....

  • its great, no problems 4 me, d metal body is great and makes ur other plastic phones feel cheap. Sexy and well designed, d camera is also very very impressive- d german manufacturer knows his thing. I think people who complain mix it up with the other version. Buy it if u like it or wait 4 d lighting phone( kf 510).

  • This is by far the worst phone I have ever bought. Ive had it for 3 months and it's already been sent away for repairs. Do not buy!!

  • Fantastic phone! However my screen cracked when it vibrated. Same thing happened to another person also.

  • yo man can't u see? the KU model is an HSDPA and the KE is a nice cheap and low function phone

  • Rem. u can use d compare botton. Basically d ke970 has a document viewer and a micro sd card slot. 50mb internal memory. Ku970( i have dis 1): No doc. viewer, has flash viewer, 576MB internal mem. no sd slot, hspda( very very quick)- used 4 web browsing. Handsfree. 3G. None of d ku970 features i listed are included in ke970. oh yeah camera 2 d back is d same. only ku970 has a camera 2 d front. They are d same size and weight! The front camera on ku970 is flat and bearly noticable. Price: ke970 �85.00 on dial a phone ku970- 3 network only in uk. Pay monthly only. If u wish 2 break contract �450.00 (unlocking included).

  • So I tried getting tmobile to send me configurations from their site like mentioned in the previous thread, but it doesn't seem to text me the information. Any ideas? I checked to make sure the code and my phone number were correct... so I'm not sure why I'm not recieving it.

  • Its been a year since this phone announced.. So will there be replacement for this phone sooner?

  • Hi, I ran across something things about not being able to multi-task while listening to music on the mp3 player. Well, here's what I've found out. I've had my phone for about a week and with just playing around with it and looking at other forums, the phone capable of multi-tasking while listening to music. Just do the following. 1. Slide open the phone. 2. On the side of the phone, press the mp3 button. 3. Select the song that you wish to listen to. 4. Here's the cool part. On the side of the phone, press the mp3 button again and it'll take you back to your home screen while the music continues to play. So there you go. :-) This next thing is to help set up the browser for the phone. I had trouble trying to set mine up, so what I did was went the website of my service provider (T-Mobile) and in the question box, I typed in "MMS". It brought up some choices to choose from. I selected the one that had T-Mobile and nothing else in the title. It then took me to a new page that had the option of "Configure You Device" and "Connect Your Device to a Laptop or PDA". I chose the configuration on. After that, on the next page, select "Click Here To Begin". On the next screen it brings up drop down boxes to choose the phone model. Although the LG KE970 wasn't on the list, I chose LG>F9100>t-zone (wap). Then you put in your phone number on the next page. It then will give you a pin code and send a message to your phone. The rest is simple. Also, you can do the same for MMS setup. Just follow the same steps. But yeah, it worked for me. Give it a try and see if it works you. E-mail me if you have any other questions. I do on the other hand have a question of my own, how do you change the message alert tone? Can't seem to figure that out for some reason. Please send response to my e-mail addy. Thanks!

  • hi! i m hitesh can u pls tell me about da sound quality

  • i bought this phone 6 months ago have recently had to take it back with manufacturing problems. was really unhappy with this product. and the services it provided.

  • I just got the KU970 today and i was wondering if other owners have camera frames? cos when you use the camera there is an option for frames but i can't seem to see any.

  • diffrent between ku970 and ke970 is ku970 have 3G, but dont have memory card

  • Whats the difference between this phone and LG KE970??

  • you cannot see the phone in direct sunlight as the screen brightness is far too low even on %100 it's completely stupid!

  • ohh I mean on PLEMIX.com

  • Uhh, when you get to the page to buy the KU970 shine, it says your language choices are Chinese.. or Japanese (both), does this include english, is there another website that has the english phone? I just want the original KU970 Silver shine/ the cheapest phone. Thanks

  • can i ask a Q? can i charge this phone whilst it's on or whilst in call? email / reply back pwease! xxoo

  • Is this phone has FM ...

  • I luv lg shine with video calling...dis is d bess pone eber. i luv lg shine...

  • Best looking phone in d world:)

  • Hold down d menu botton at d side until d multi tasking menu comes up, close any java apps. then try again, it should work now:)

  • I have the LG shine but when i go to checkout the ringtones on the phone it says i have to turn off java first. can someone show me a quick way to do that. thnx

  • The U.S. AT&T version (CU720) and the Canada Rogers version (TU720) have replaced the roller navigation with the joystick/scrollwhell due to complaints with the original roller. The newer navigation is a small circle that spins 360 degrees. Also, they made a bit more space for the Call, clear, and end buttom for more space. Both of the North American versions have HSDPA and include microSD card slots, but only the Canada-Rogers version supports Video Calling.

  • how much memory this phone can support up to?and does this have a front camera?thanks :D

  • The Canada Version TU720-- THe camera doesnt come with auto focus I suppose... Anyone?

  • does anyone know why at&t lg shine doesnt have the roller on the wront of it

  • i have the LG shine and fell in love with it completely! it's really beautiful! i dropped it on my laminate floor (3 feet) by accident with a case and it still works good. the metal is really tough and durable. whew,i hope i don't drop it again! get this phone..it's cool if you like the looks of it.. :) ENJOY!

  • no words to describe the shine !!! glitter like silver!!!

  • I don't have the c.d software for my lg ku970 where can I download it from?? noone seems to know

  • OK - first off I was wondering if anyone can tell me if you can use your own mp3 to set as an option for an alarm tone and a message tone! I tried with many many unsucessful attempts and I was wondering if there were any sites with any downloadable games and wall paper templates!!! Cheers. Feel free to email me.

  • Hi there, whenever i set my message tone to be a mp3 ringtone, it stops at 5 sec, is there any solution to make it play out the whole song?

  • preety cool but not so good keypads. and this thing is not that hard not that shiny it looks

  • yes i have downloaded the software from the cd but i dont tink it works for some unknown reason and i have it on mass storage but still doesnt work :(. Could you give me the website where i can download that software and see if it will work from there

  • U can use your own music such as mp3, etc for text message alerts, and to multi task just use the menu button at the side. :)

  • To Txt Junkie: U can download the software from the cd at the lg website or if your lazy like myself just switch the connection type to mass storage device; this would make the phone act like a pen drive. And after u have uploaded your stuff just move it to the pictures and or video sections. :)

  • For some reason i m unable to install my USB modem even though it says that it installed succefully and i tried to put my photos etc on my phone by dragging and dropping it in the folders but a message comes up and tell me to insert a disc in drive E. What does that mean and why is it happening?????????

  • oh, i forgot to add, can u set your own music for SMS and ringtone? or do u have to use the default ones?

  • ok, so you can't multi-task with this phone? oh, that's a bit sad. hmmm. ok well thanks^^

  • plz can u tell me how many sms can the LG KU970 Shine save. e-mail me plz :)

  • i had some problem with my shine...it seems like i cant receive sms that consist of 2 pages or more...am wondering if anyone out there is facing the same problem =)

  • "3. If it drops out calls...it's not the phones fault but your service provider." No dude, if the phone is dropping calls, its not always the provider, normally it is the phone, unless in a low coverage area.

  • how can i call without opening it

  • Hi can someone please tell me if I can set the alarm to go off on specific days and not have to keep turning the alarm on every day. Thx

  • to lui: yeah the thing that happened 2 ur friend is exatly wat happened 2 me is was quite hard 2 fix aswell and also i agree I charge my phone everynight and its NOT difficult at ALL!!!!

  • i personally really liked this phone but it broke quite easily, i ended up losing it though and the browser didnt work properly at all im now getting the lg viewty which i LOVE and btw yes i am 'i love this phone' and im also 'i adore this phone' (i left comments on the lg viewty site aswell)

  • Dis phone cant multi-task while you are listening to the MP3 songs... Quite Sad abt it...

  • im planning to buy this phone but can anyone tell me if you can put music as the background? as in, you can do other stuff while listening to music because at the moment i have a samsung d600 and you can't do it with that phone, well i don't think you can please reply. many thanks

  • the software doesn't work on vista =( not a real prob tho u can still transfer things.. theres usb & bluetooth.

  • I've got this phone n I LOVE IT!

  • TO ALL THE PEOPLE that said..."i'm stuck with this phone for 2 years..." you are NOT stuck with the phone for 2 years UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO...common sense? go buy a new phone, that you don't have to unlock with your service provider...you can do it...it's just that you DONT...or you CANT AFFORD ONE...then just use it??? If you're with 3...change the LG shine to another 3 phone...you can...who says you can't change to another phone??? the contract is e.g...$30...on two years...your paying the phone off for 2 years...getting $30 worth of calls included each month...So stop complaining and change your phone if you don't like it...

  • "The battery life sucks, it lasts 1.5 days!!! I want to chuck mine already and I am stuck for 2 years. It also drops lots of calls .... just cuts out." Reply to this... 1. how hard is it to charge a mobile phone every single day? you're not alone with the mobile phone in the desert are you? 2. If you want to chuck it...chuck it...and Yes you are stuck ON A PLAN for 2 years...NOT WITH THE PHONE...go buy a new phone IF YOU CAN AFFORD ONE. 3. If it drops out calls...it's not the phones fault but your service provider. GEEZ

  • Great phone and very stylish to some questions asked heres the asnwers, you can set mp3 as ringtones and to different callers too and also set mp3 as sms,mms tones BUT only about 15 sec. Yes the front cam can be use to self potrait. The scroll u got to get use to its slowness or it will skip and the ringtones vol max is 7 which is still not loud enough. Compared to U700 I read global complains about the faceplate colour fade and chip off but my shine still shine as new :P and the U700 is also not any louder as KU970 but the have memory slot tho. Ive been using it for more then a week battery issue not a problem yet tho it doesnt last very long but I love to xfer files to my shine from my pc so that could be why the batt doesnt last long. And yes the have speakerphone to but the other party voice is not loud when in open space. Last but not least learn to enjoy it and wait for the hack software, there ought to be 1 soon :)

  • my friend got this phone, and she had it 4 about 6 months, and she put it in her bag, and it had a huge crack in it. It is gorgeous though

  • The best LG

  • i agree with you rosey. battery life dies less than 2 days! i have to charge it everynight.

  • I had the phone for three months and suddenly the battery life went from 5 days to 1. I have to charge it every single day now. Overall it�s a cool phone with nice features. The bad thing is that you can not use downloaded photos as a Ringtone ID.

  • I have this phone less than a month. The battery life sucks, it lasts 1.5 days!!! I want to chuck mine already and I am stuck for 2 years. It also drops lots of calls .... just cuts out. I've taken it in and they say the battery is fine ... it is not. Any suggestions on a phone with a better battery life. I have always had Nokia.

  • This is the ultimate phone but there is one problem with this phone. the softwares in this mob doesnt work in vista as far as i know.

  • the software for this phone doesn't work on vista, does it?

  • Is this phone can install java games from internal memory easily???

  • Can any of you give me the link to download the damn frikkin right PC sync software for the KU970 cuz i tried alot but none have worked so far this is killin me LOL wtf

  • NIce phone, especially for fashionable people

  • as u know ,it is shining like a sun !!!but it has problem on battery.terrible

  • well this is a stunning phone for us ladies,the only problem iv experienced is the battery life and the volume is a bit low,otherwise its advanced and im never bored.

  • Ha ha ha! this phone is really a head turner. My brother has this phone and it is just very irresistable. Features are average. Ok not as featured rich as Nokia which is a smart phone but my neighbor wants to throw his nokia phones while watching the elegant LG shine compared to his nokia. We cannot see the features but people can always see the magnificent and elegant design of LG shine,knowing that it has the average and one of a kind feature.

  • Where can you get .swf files to download, its the bloody hardest thing to find on net, please someone help me.

  • Please, everyone do not buy this phone.It has poor battery life, its not compatiable with widows vista? the volume is weak. i'm stuck with this phone for the next 2 years.

  • bought the phone, really looks good, however,for the looks and price ,pretty standard nothing special

  • ive dropped it like several times thank god its still working perfectly though its got sratches and theyre visible!!!. camera is good crispy clear its got autofocus. its got a mirror, convenient for me. speaker is not as good as sony ericsson and the key pad is just is sensitive its a nuisance. this is why im looking for another phone. im going back to flip phones. slide phones suck!

  • ive had this phone for 3 months and one month after buying it.. got sick of it already. rolly scroll bar is not a good idea it kinda tires my thumb.

  • this phone.. hahaha sucks... ive had it for (until someone STOLE it) a month and already thinking about changing it.. yeah its nice etc but i want a phone that can function well.. good battery, crap camera... software freezes and reloads itself when it wishes to.. sometimes when i receive a message and i press 'reply' it will go out of the message? like ummm what is that? crazy!!! i say get the Samsung U700 if you're looking at getting a phone similiar to this.. I tested one out today and lovvvvvvvvvved it!

  • I got this fone for 2 months. What i can say about dis fone when i was online sometimes its automatically shut down.

  • i really love the shine and its features, however i think that manufacturers should carve the screen inward a bit to prevent too many scratches. this is aproblem associated with all the shine and chocolate series.

  • Correction KU970 & KE970 are same model in different countries. OOPSE, oh well. A phone like this is great to peacock with. Hehe, girls like shinny things. LOL.

  • Name is incorrect. LG KE970 is correct model number for the GSM model. U970 is the model number for the 3G model with an extra front camera. . Look on e.bay if you don't believe. . Enjoy.

  • i havent gotten this fone yet.....im plannin to an tell me anything bad about this fone..please....and does anyone knows if this fone have a place for cell phone charms??....answer...rply to my e-mail!!!

  • does anyone know how to put personalized ringtone and images for the contacts for the LG Shine on 3G??

  • and i was also wondering if anyone knows how to change the background theme in the menu.. i've got the 3 sign in the back and was wondering if you can get something else on it

  • i was just wondering if anyone knows how to set the setting for the LG U970 on the 3G where when you get a sms its displays it like the miss call does.. thanks

  • i'll definitely be getting one next week...

  • If u want to raise the volume of the ring tone just edit your current profile( normal, outdoor, ect). There's an option as to how high u wish the volume to be, however if u have done this and still find the volume low just change your ring tone.

  • i really love my shine.... it is perfect....just born to shine!!!!!!!!

  • nice phone but no memory expansion,haiz...

  • Is the key pad sposed to light up??

  • Anyone that can help me regarding the volume of my phone.1 can hardly hear it

  • Yes it can use mp3 for text and ringtones. And no it looks just fine in direct sunlight, people who write that u cant see the sreen in direct sunlight dont own the phone oviously.

  • can you set mp3s as ringtones? and message tones?

  • ive heard that you cannot see the screen and whats on it under lights is this true?

  • i find that this lg phone is crap just like the other lg phones i am finding problems with the softwear swithing off and freezing DO NOT GET THIS PHONE

  • I absolutely love my SHINE!! It has everything i need. A stylish look, great camera, loud ringing, great display and enough memory! I have NO problems with my phone! My battery life is great. Im a real heavy user and i get close to a week out of my battery! WELL DONE LG!!

  • If you are wondering about the PIN number, it can be any number(s). The other person just has to type in the same number(s).

  • love it!!!!!!!!

  • U970** not U400 my mistake

  • Download a working USB driver (choose the one for the U400) to transfer files under Windows XP) link -

  • Hey I'm trying to get this USB thingy to work for me and I heard you have to download some software for it.Is this is true?If so where will I be able to get it from?

  • Hey, Ive just recently bought this phone. So far i think its great.. however the pc sync/phone manager software that was supplied with the phone is not compatible with windows vista. This poses a small problem. Anyone else had this problem or any idea how to get around it. Are there any 3rd party programs I could use. The USB driver appears to install just fine, its just the software that isn't compatible

  • just got this phone, very stylish, but the volume is not that great miss a few calls already. selling after using it for 5 hours...

  • the pass code is 123

  • Concerning you problem with bluetooth, i think its just a pin number that both parties agree on, ie u input some random number, and the other party has to input the same number to connect with ur phone. most bluetooth phones should have this feature

  • Just got phone having probs with bluetooth, After you search paired devises, then add it then searches for devices. When it has located someone it asks for a pin number. What number is that. Is that a special number i should have or a number from the person it has picked up. Pleae Help Freddy76

  • I think that this phone is the absolute best meaning its so the best phone that could have been made.

  • No hanyu pinyin input mode for sms/mms!

  • Just got my shiny new phone for a week now. Very impressed, downloaded videos etc. Run out of battery very quick, but I suppose it is because of playing with the phone the whole time.

  • its about $550-600 - the non 3G version is about $400-450. Its a great phone-ive dropped it 2 times on the street and nothing happened-i only put screen protector from 'shieldzone'. I recommend it-only get this one if you need 3G. It has 3.5 g with HSDPA so extremley fast connecting to internet.

  • It's hot hot hot! I love it

  • I purchased that phone on 29.05.07 it looked very good but when i connected the phone to the pc i had a surprise.The pc did not recognise a new software and by the way the cd that came with the phone was not working properly.So the next day i sent it to be repaired and since than it did not come back for 22 days.The phone is pretty but it doesn't worth the money that you pay for it.

  • ive had this phone for a month now and wat do all you people mean by bad battery life i only use it abot 2-3hours a day and the battry can last me up to a week

  • This phone looks just as beatiful as the ke970, if your into browsing the net this is almost a must have phone it connects faster to the net than my dell laptop- yeah really, texting and no document viewer makes it fall a little behind perfect. However it has a flash viewer and even comes with an animation built in, so you can download and watch really beautiful animations. The battery life is far better than i expected it really takes alot for it to get drained down this is a step up from lg. It can act as a pen drive if u select that option from the phone menu, no drivers or software is needed. There is 575MB of free space, but no memory card slot, thats enough memory for me. Pictures are clear and when one is taken it sounds just like the real thing. It also even looks the same size as ke970, highly highly highly recommended.

  • Some1 who has the LG KU970, can you please advise me as to weather or not to get this phone as i really like it. Can u tell me what problems to xpect if i do get it...

  • I've had the phone for a week now and am terribly disappointed by the ridiculous battery life.

  • sorry my previous message is about KE970. sorry

  • Hello, I have problem change ringtone. I change ringtone in profile and i change ringtone to contacts, (group too), but phone ringing always "Above the Sky"... please help me.. thanx as

  • Hey. Just wondering. The difference between The KE970 and KU970 is what?? :)

  • the difference between them is the 3G network

  • why is it bad? does it break easy or is it hard to use? I'd say a reliable phone is important.

  • Missed call alert function does not include in KU970?? Missing many calls, no alert given by the phone, always need to flip the phone and do a frequent check, very dissapointed.

  • Does anyone know is there a missed call alert function for KU970? And also a function to set the right and left soft key, where can i find them?

  • which looks better? lg ku970 or samsung u700? they both have mirror like finishings in their front panel..... which is which..... just curious

  • Wow Im reading all the Complaints about the ( LG KE970 Shine ) Everyone that bought it complaining Big Time!!! Whats the Difference between that one and this one LG KU970 Shine they look the same. And to think i was going to buy a Shine phone but so so many Depressed people out there buying (LG KE970 Shine) just read the complaints on this site. Scary!!

  • no it's not available yet in the islands. better get it in hk. you might want to look at the samsung u700 though. the specs look better and the price difference isn't that far off.

  • The phone is blazeing, the best stylish looking phone in a long time...

  • Ok, i was reading some comments on this phone, and most people said it wasn't worth the money, too many problems with it. Well i was wanting to get the LG KE770 Shine, but I'm worried about getting it thinking it might have some of the same problems. I dont want to pay for a phone and be stuck with it for 18 months and it suck. does any1 know if the LG KE770 Shine has the same problem, or other problems?

  • yoyo anyone know how i can keep the player on and do other things at the same time? someone mention the menu key for multi tasking but it doesnt work leh on the 3.5G model. & also does the LG software allows editing of songs i wan use as ring tone? dun seems to find it.

  • i like ittttt. smashing

  • problem fone avoid ........

  • anyone knows if there is a missed call alert function on the 3.5G LG Shine? am desperately looking for this function

  • hey im from sa too!! yeah u can set any tune as ringtone or msg but msg only go for 5 sec doesnt play whole song. what i hate is when u play music u cant use the menu or msg it stops playing once you wana use other functions

  • Go to the sound file in "sounds" or "external memory" depending on where you saved it then slick"options" and then "sound theme" from there you select voice ringtone, msg tone etc...

  • can anyone tell me? with the metal body.. does it screw up the reception, while you're on the phone and stuff. can you hear the other person on the other side clearly. also is this phone a vodafone only, or can u get the normal version.

  • Hey guys can neone please tell me if you can set an Mp3 as a ringtone/Messagetone im from S.A Cape town and here we have the Vodafone LG Please help!!!!

  • no it doesnt support document thingys... i ckecked. overall its ok fone.

  • I have a question about this phone ku970. It has Document Viewer(.pdf, .doc, .xls) like ke970?, because on the site it doesn't sayz. pls answer if you know. thx alot!!!

  • please read this!!!!!!!!!!!!! overall it's ok. i like the shiny bit but negatives: 1. texting. its so hard and gay as its hard to find keys cos the surface is flat 2. scroll can be annoying 3. message tone only lasts for 5 sec. not like moto goes for whole song. 4. battery. battery is shit. very bad. thats all!!! other than that its pretty good positives; 1. i like the avata thing where u can create ur own picture to set up caller id 2. u can put any picture as when u call out (i put this hot pic of keeley) 3. fun games :)

  • Got this phone for 3 weeks now, definately not a feature packed phone for its price. However, I do enjoy the "bling bling" effects, any friends who saw this phone would say "oh~ is that the 'shine'?" lols :P OK, a couple of thoughts on it (much of which corrolated with the reviews) 1. battery life is adequate(2 days with average use), tho no where near SE's. eg K610, K750, T610. 2. Response was slow, tho faster than Motorola's Eg. V3, E389. 3. I hate to say, 488MBs effective memory does suck. I do have a dedicated mp3 player tho, so not too much of a prob for me. Finally, as of today, prob the best looking phone you can get. Be prepared to fork out quite a bit of cash for it tho, hehe. kthxbye =)

  • hi! can anyone tell whether the screen is hard to view in normal daylight? because someone said that in the the sun the screen if quite difficult to view. thanks!

  • i think chocolate looks better :D this one is just too grey...hmn... i should know:)) i have the choco white one it's soo cool!!! this one is kinda plain

  • I just got this phone from Vodafone in Australia. Once you get used to it it is really great. It's a nice looking phone too. But how do I get pics onto the phone from my PC? Can you even do that?

  • i am so interested in that lg ku970 shine, i like that phone . i am so in need of it. thanks

  • I've purchased the phone from Vodafone Romania yesterday and i like the design very much,the menu is very simple and also very poor.the phone doesn't have themes and i don.t know if and how to change the softkeys.Is there someone who can help me with the softkeys problem??

  • eh tell me leh.. can the phone cam in the front be used as self portrait? psps

  • just asking you'll, as an overall... is this phone ok, good? i dont need a lot of things though... i'm currently using 9300 Nokia, rather a great phone though... but i kinda like this lg black label series, but...a lot of people sayin that this is bad phone... i'm from indonesia by the way..

  • Purchased this phone on the 11/05/07 at All Phones Sydney QVB and had to return it on 14/05/07 as it would not accept calls. The phone would also randomly shut itself down and I am still waiting to recieve my replacement... even with LG's immediate replacement policy. My advice, forget this phone. Yeah looks good but thats about it. Battery life is also poor, 1.5 days max. LG thanks for nothing.

  • dope looking phone - poor battery life tho! mantzo~kraktit.

  • I have this phone. One word... Bad.

  • so they added the 3g n took out the card slot. y do they do that? that completely suck. wth are you going to do with 512mb. weakkkkkkk. great design though i must say.

  • is this phone 3G enabled?

  • is there any loudspeaker ???? P.S. sorry for my english...

  • I've been told by a supplier that the battery life is poor. Approximately about a day. It would be a great phone if it had a card slot availability.

  • thsi phone looks damn sexy ,.am i right??

  • hi, i would like to ask if this phone can do a self portrait in the front cam? Meaning not turning on the 3G and saving the picture using front cam.

  • I am going to buy one, so I asked LG mobile service ctr, they said this phone support Chinese characters.

  • how long does the battery last for the ku970 or is it the same as the ke970?

  • Does it support chinese wording ? anyone, pls replay, thks.

  • For playing the music in background u can use the multitasking key (side Menu key). It's a long key (keep it pressed for sometime). This would enable you to see all running applications on the phone. You can go to Main Menu, spawn the player and then go to Main Menu again. This would keep the player in background. Enjoy!!

  • TO the person who asked about playing music in the background: I'm not sure if this works with KU970, but it works with my KE970. When your phone ins in mp3 mode, try pressing the mp3 button on the side. Your phone will put the mp3 into the background and ou can message and do almost anyhting else. Except make a call or use the camera etc.

  • This phone is brill!!! I love the fact I can put my lipstick on and no longer have to carry an extra mirror around ;-)

  • i love the look of the phone, but having a memory card would definitey tip the scales in favor of this phone. its annoying having to plug your phone into a pc just to download music and/or pics onto it. at least with a memory card you dont hav 2 install the LG software onto multiple PCs.

  • does anybody know how to play the music player in the background ?it says you can on the review but i cant find this feature anywhere thanks.

  • this fone has been ouit on the 3 network in the UK for " weeks already, so not exclusive to voda!!!

  • very nice looking phone,poor camera,very low on features and an over complex scroll bar.

  • when will it arrive at europe (malta)???????????... pls pls send back.. i need to know....pls..

  • Just ot make it clear the difference between this and the 2G one is: HSDPA No Card Slot 575mb internal memory QVGA video recording X series (3 service) you can set any sound as a ringtone/ message tone Better PC software VGA front camera Louder speaker phone Over all I think this is way better than the KE970.

  • it is available on the 3uk network already

  • will this phone work on the 3 uk network i need to no asap please cheers..

  • i think this is a good mobile,the only thing is that it does not have a card slot,its style is very well made....pls send me back your comment?? because i am planing to buy this mobile....pls sameone send back!!!!?????????

  • this is a very nice phone but very stupid from lg no slut card

  • The navigation is terrible, it's easy to go up and down but not left and right. It gets hot quickly when making calls (after 10 minutes)

  • there r 64 ringtones and it does support mp3 and other video files.it's a good phone but i think the price tage is kind of expansive around 550-700us

  • I'm having difficulty deciding whether I prefer this or the KE970. This phone is better in every way except no card slot which is a big issue for me. I don't really care about the video calling camera - I'd rather have a card slot instead.

  • can sum1 please tell me how many ringtones/messagetones this phone have? and can i put mp3's as message or ring tones?

  • i like the phone but i really want one with video ringtoes does this have it if not what are some equivilent phones that do.

  • after lotsa advancement....still no card slot?

  • LG KU970 Shine has UMTS Broadband, which helps a lot if you browse the internet, download a ringtone or game or so, much better than KE970!

  • 40 or 64 etc channels on poly ring tones means that the mobile can play a sound combination of more musical organs simultaneously so the sound is more melodic like an orchestra.

  • Can anyone please explain to me what is the difference between ringtones polyphonic 40 channels and 64 or 70 channells??? thanx

  • i think this is not a nice phone because of its colour

  • 3 MAIN DIFFERENCES 1. KU790 has 3G and Dual Cameras(ke790 doesn't have 3g and frontal cam) 2. KU790 has QVGA video (ke790 only has QCIF video format=loe resolution) 3 Internal memory varies

  • This one has HSDPA, 3g...the other doesnt...

  • this phone can video call and has 3g.

  • LG shine

  • the difference is this one has a front camera..not the other

  • what is the difference between this and the KE970???

  • no this fone is never gona come in the uk if u wnat it go and get it off holiday byweeeeeeeeeee

  • yeh this fone is reallly nice very nice to lloooki at i love it i havnt really got it

  • yeh thisphone is reallllly nice wot do u think

  • this phone should be available on the '3' network later this month.

  • Andrew, You are commenting the wrong phone, KE970 is another Shine phone.

  • this is the 3G version from the KE970 from what i heard that it will be in the UK ,Asia and oz later this year.

  • Is this phone coming to the UK?? Please reply as I want the Shine but really want a 3G version...lovely phone

  • Nigel, you can use the T9, however when using this function to text just use the scroll to view other text options. It's easy!

  • A fantastically stylish phone! There is a typo here, the phone has 50Mb internal and it is expandable using a MicroSD (TransFlash). The proper code for this phone is KE970.

  • Sound is great in this Model

  • No card slot:(((((((( and only 512 MB internal memory:((( but I think that design make this phone so magic:))) meaby I will buy one:P we will see:)

  • i like the style and shape and it has some wonderfull features although the T9 option only allows one word and does not give you a list of other words

  • weak battery, scratches all to hell and you can hardly see the screen in the sunlight .. other than that .. its ok
