LG Motion 4G MS770 - User Reviews

  • One of the best budget phones of it's time. One of the few phones that exceeded expectations. Had a faster CPU than advertised, and more features than were listed on the box. More memory than any other phone in its class at the time. Had a FFC (Selfie Camera) before they were popular. Got occasional updates. No longer works because it is CDMA only. I still have this phone, used as an alarm clock and web browser/media player.

  • my motion is going on 4 years old and 2 years with a crack screen but every once in a while if you touch it wrong its spasm out and you have to turn it off/on but then its fine still a great phone its my firsts phone and 10 out of 10 will phone again

  • I love my LG Motion. I have had it for about 3 years or so. However, I am not happy, though, that it has only a small amount of internal memory for Apps, and I can't even download anything new, or upgrade the existing ones. I have already deleted "non-essential" stuff, and it did not help. And, the camera and video quality are not that great. Camera is "ok" for up-close things as long as your hand is steady, but video is always very grainy no matter what. I hate to have to replace it, but the lack of internal memory is a sore spot for me.

  • I have this phone but i switch on phone then error desplay on screen use geniun bettry how can i do remove this error

  • Is it CDMA supported device?

  • I love this phone. This has been my phone for the past 3 years, all throughout high school. The phone is durable and has taking so many falls. Small enough to fit in pockets but the screen is big enough to play games and watch youtube videos, atleast for my tastes. The phone has its issues but rarely ever messed up. The battery life is really bad, just keep it on airplane mode. If I dont leave it on airplane mode or bring my charger by the end of a 6 hour school day it would be almost dead. But this phone was my first smartphone and was a really great introduction into smartphones.

  • This is a great phone. A lot of bang for the buck. I have had this phone for 3yrs. It was better & cheaper than the 2012 & 2013 Samsung phones. This phone can out perform the LG Optimus 60, Lg Optimus 70 & Samsung Galaxy II. It contained some bloatware and the camera could be better. Good investment. Calls are clear. Connectivity good. 4G Mobile Hotspot worked like a champ. Used phone to record lectures in college classes: sound quality superb. Durable phone. Dropped several times; popped battery in & back on, worked like new. Takes a Lickin' and keeps on Tickin'. Buy Again: YES. Recommend: YES.

  • FYI, you don't 'jailbreak' android phones, you root them. I-crap is 'jailbroken'.

  • For a cheapish mid-range device, this is probably as good as it gets for a Metro phone. I've had this thing for over a year, and sure it lags from time-to-time and every once in awhile an app will go full retard, but it's also pretty out-of-date and was never a tip top phone on the market. This phone really gave bang for the buck and I'm a little sad that it's reaching the end of its lifespan, but it sure did give me a good run. Sadly, I'm not too sure that this phone can even work with Metro anymore since they changed their radio thingy. However, this still makes for a nifty portable media device and works pretty smoothly, so if you just want an mp3/wifi surfing device I've seen this on ebay for $25 and that's a steal for all this baby has to offer.

  • You can also buy it on Ebay for around 50 buck but it id a metropcs phone so you can't jailbreak it

  • My LG Motion (LG MS770) shows that the CPU is at 1512MHz max frequency. I'm really wondering this.

  • Ive dropped this phone more times than I can count. It got buried in the snow while it was on during a snow storm and took me 40 mins to find it and I wiped the snow off and dried it and no problem. Finally after two years of abuse my 4 years old son was able to crack the screen by stomping on it while it was face down on the concrete but after 4 months of a cracked screen, its still going strong. About as reliable and indestructible as a phone can get.

  • Is your phone rooted? It's even better rooted! Also, you can put jellybean on it, and it runs smoother.

  • If intetested in selling ph. Plse FB mssngr me...i could use as a parts ph. may e...Thanks!

  • Best phone, indestructible, fast, reliable.. ive dropped this phone from 6 feet on concrete floor several times, and fell out of mt coat going 23 mph, stepped on it a dozen times, gotten wet twice, and it still works..

  • I've gotten mine out of emergency mode... It is possible

  • best metro phone interms of cheap good and never turns off fast coo batery utube always works gps and only $40 a month $35 with family plan

  • Phone uses to much battery, gets to hot, 4g works when it wants to. Only takes good pictures and video

  • this is happenin to me also ..

  • Great phone

  • Over the summer, the phone was accidentally washed in the clothes washer. Took cover off and blew it dry with an air can. Then I turned on a portable fan, and left the phone under the fan for 24 hours. Then I turned the phone on, and IT WORKED ! ! ! And has worked ever since. Even before the washer incident, people complained that my voice was fading out, when I was using a bluetooth, at home. Don't know if that's the phone or the bluetooth. I do wish the On/Off button was recessed and harder to accidentally engage, when holstered and bend down to pick something up.

  • you don't. it's a cdma phone

  • So i have a 1.2 Dual Core. I need a 1.4 DC and that is why i can't use this app. Really....Wow Unbelievable.

  • how do you put storage on sd card

  • the cell is great,best phone i have ever had,very quick ,holds lots of info,great camrea,4g again very fast ,you dont have to wait,it can do more than three things at atime

  • Yeah do a hard reset,hold down ,power,up,down volume keys all at same time,then you should feel a vibration. when you do let go,or look it up on youtube.

  • yeah there is a way to take it out of emergency mode,look it up on youtube.

  • i have some problem with wifi conections i dont know what to do, and i dont whant to factory reset my phone. someone have the problem?

  • I've had this phone for two months. It went into Emergency Mode and there is no way to reset it back. I've followed all the instructions available to no avail. It's going to be an expensive paperweight. Piece of garbage.

  • Some how my phone got off a regular keyboard and I can't get it off t9 can someone please help me get it back to a regular keyboard?

  • The phone is very very good but still don't know why they are not Gsm

  • Ive had this phone for over a year now and its been awsome i love the cpu. It says its a 1.2ghtz but it runs at 1.5 its basicly a mini s3. I've been wanting to upgrade just because of screen size but i cant find a comprable device with a bigger screen at a reasonable price.

  • I have this phone and I agree with a lot of the comments and I have had nothing but good luck until the other day when all of a sudden the screen froze up on me ....I tried what I think is everything to regain access ie....hard reset...taking the battery out...turning it on and off...etc. but it still is frozen...Should I consider it cooked or is it fixable. If it is savable can SOMEONE TELL ME HOW!!!

  • all it means is that you have too much you data and need to either get rid of some stuff or restart I recommending u to clear all of your running apps hope it helps u :)

  • I having a problem with my phone heating up. I mean it gets HOT! I take the battery out and replace it, but still it will get hot. and of course it is locked,/frozen up. But other then that, it works fine! good phone. Plz help

  • When this pattern appears in Lithuania?

  • I luv that phone well made great future the browser on the net so fast because its duel core.i abuse this phone and he never give up on me.great battery life .LG did great job hope they come with GSM copy so I can use it over seas.

  • whaT if your 4g doesnt turn on at all?

  • $49.00 for new customers/great phone

  • an gsm version would be nice

  • an international version would be nice

  • They're on sale at metro for $49

  • Had this phone bout 2 months.. great value at 49 after rebate. Screen res is its biggest drawback but other than that this is a top notch device. Compare specs with phones that cost 3-4 hundred and see for yourself. After getting screwed by metro when buying the samsung galaxy indulge for 200.00, the motion rocks and for less than 50 ! I highly recommend the motion.

  • where can i get a cheaper one, but in good quality, coz i reviewed a sale on this before but i didn't have a chance to get one.

  • the best phone so far i wanted to have

  • Its amazing but i was sold a refurbished one i have to replace it because the camera won't work or gallery or anything

  • What's the point of your comment if you're not gonna share where you got it?

  • i got mine from (wont tell because there is a bunch of followers in the world) for $9 dollars and i have to pay $40 dollars each month.i have insurance so if i loose,break,or the phone acts up i can get another one for free.

  • Can u watch live TV on this phone like hulu

  • Awesome phone so far. Cant figure out how to get it to mount on ubuntu linux

  • I bought mine @ Walmart and the reason why I purchased their is they offer a two year parts and labor full warrenty for on the phone for only $15.00 and as long as u have the phone and don't loose it they will replace it if any damage is done no matter what caused it.

  • The phone itself can be purchased online through MetroPCS, amazon, or ebay. It is CDMA, so it will only work through Metro. I do not think they have coverage in Indonesia, sorry. You can look through LG smartphones and find one that is unlocked to use with an Indonesian carrier. You can also browse other 4G LTE phones. Good luck.

  • Totally amazing phone. The no regrets. Performance for dollar, you can't beat this phone!

  • Can i buy this out of metropcs?? Or this phone only provided at metropcs?? Coz im in indonesia, hard to find metropcs center here. Please anyone help me, thanks :-)

  • In metro pcs....i have one...is so good

  • Best buy carries this phone, themplus side of buying at best buy is reward points (if you are a member) and a 30 day return policy :)

  • it's a really cool phone, if you are looking for a good one, go, buy it, and you'll be grateful...

  • You get it from metro pcs

  • how do you get that phone, i've searched every where, but i just can't find it

  • where can i get in Kenya.plssss assist me to get it i seriously need this phone

  • if you root ur phone, the battery can last a hella long time, i changed the CPU of my phone and lowered it, enabling my battery to last pretty much 2x as long.

  • my lg motion came overclocked, my father also bought his when i got mine and were both at 1.5GHZ

  • It is a strong well put together phone. my got thrown against the wall, hard, and it still works and hardly a scratch.

  • great phone only down side is the battery

  • I looked it up with LG, u cant, thats 1 of the phones biggest dwn falls.

  • Great phone, switched from virgin mobiles l g optimus and big diff. I am a Miami beach native and recently moved to northeast Oklahoma but ordered this phone for great plan from metro pcs hoping that the merger shall make possible 4g lte service early 2013, anyone hear anything?

  • How tranfer aps to sd??????????????????????????????????????????????­??????????????????????

  • How tranfer aps to sd??????????????????????????????????????????????­??????????????????????

  • Really great phone.. EXCEPT Bluetooth 4.0 not fully compatible with many devices and automobile hands free. Not just an LG problem, Apple, Samsung and Motorola users are also reporting phones with BT 4.0 not connecting or intermittently loosing Bluetooth connection even with a call in progress.

  • Best phone for Metro PCS,but i can't unlocked...someone can help me???? [email protected] .thank you.

  • ive had mine for a month, and let me tell you, this phone is strong! it comes with gorilla glass istalled, so no cracking and hard to scratch, and tis one time i was leaning down next to my pond, it slipped out of my pocket landed on the bottom of the pond for 30 seconds and i pulled it out took it apart stuck it in rice for five hours and it works completely fine!!!!

  • This is the best phone from metro pcs for the price. It has everything and with android you can download whats missing. Super fast 4g and awsome apps.best of all itruns apps and answers phones with no interruptions.

  • AWESOME ... this phone its really good .... i got one 5 days ago .... really good ... the features are nice

  • Where do u vget the battery at

  • These are now shipping with a 1.5GHz processor not the 1.2GHz. Antutu benchmark grades mine as running at 1512MHz.

  • this phone is exceptionally good.super fast,very responsive.4g on mtetro pcs is very fast,like all androids,need better battery,am getting the extended battery tis week,i had blackberry before.i love this phone

  • You should make it through the day; that's about how I use this phone!

  • Great phone can't beat the price for it either!

  • I absolutely LOVE this phone, someone stole my admirer phone which i thought was nice but this is the best hands down. It has all of the features I will need for a long time to come.

  • I have this phone it awesome in every way!! Best for gaming, pictures, video recored, and its really fast and theres so much more! freaking love this phone!

  • Thinking about getting this phone, who is the battery life? im usually always texint and make a few calls a day im usually on faceboook too

  • U$ 149 @ metro pcs it's good the phone is good, fast and reliable .. i got mine 5 days ago ... its a good device .... for 149 ... really good

  • Looks like a very smart smartphone, must be in the same range as the One V. And with its LTE compatibility, it sure is a killer. LG needs to launch its GSM variant in India to tap the mid-range smartphone segment.

  • 100 bucks cheaper than the Huawei Activa at full retail (as per MetroPCS website) and it's specs when compared are either the exact same or superior than the Activa. By far a superior value for the price.

  • im geting this LG Motion� 4G this friday cant wait

  • MetroPCS in Los Angeles, CA. Previous device: HTC wildfire s. It's night and day between this phone and my wildfire. Over 5 gigs of internal memory vs 105 megs, Dual core vs single, and LG apps let you turn off or even uninstall bloatware! It's a $20 difference between this and the wildfire...

  • Not bad.
