  • Hi...help me please...how can i remove hands free activation symbol....i can't hear any calls, any songs....because hands free mode is on.....how can i stop this

  • You Need to Hard Reset your phone but in this case you will lost your user data. Hard Rest: First turn off your phone then press and hold Volume Up with Volume Down Button and Power button (all three buttons) for 10 seconds and then select Yes you can move to the options with volume up and down key and to choose or select you need to press power button and that's all

  • It doesnt work w/ mine :o

  • I forgot my unlock code and my data is off for me to enter my email to unlock.how do i go about.

  • You need to buy a new batery that is all.. my lasts aroud 6 days +-day

  • Don't have it anymore, but solid phone for the price I bought it (~$60). As a guy, it sure as hell was difficult to say you had an "LG Optimus Chic" without losing a man point here or two.

  • it is a very good phone.but i have a problem with my phone that it's go back arrow sot key is not respondingi.can anybody wt can i do to get it back in use

  • How many hours of on time do most get before you need to recharge? I only have it on for emergency now but, I have no apps, use no internet, screen power is on low and nothing extra is on. I can only keep it on for about 4 hours before my battery is dead. Such a useless thing for a phone in my opinion. I am still owing on this purchase so the option of a trade in is out unfortunately.

  • Minr ix not taking picture ( screen shot ) optimush hub e510

  • Being my first Android phone ever, I loved the LG chic. Considering it was only $70 on a 3 year Bell contract, it did everything I needed it to, from talking to texting to playing really basic games. It's 600mhz processor could have been better, but then again, it was redemption compared to my Samsung Gravity Touch.

  • nothing is wrong with the phone..you probably installed too any apps. mine was freezing but i realize i had too many apps loaded on to it so i uninstall a few and its working fine kind regards Lime Technical support agent Jamaica

  • jes i does :) it supports the most apps, but there´s no frontcam for Skype :/ ääähhhh, only voice communication

  • Got this phone christmas of 2011. Still works fine, but often takes about 50-60 seconds to power on. There seems to be a fair amount of lag when switching between applications. I unlocked my phone and havent had any issues with it so far, besides it being slower than i'd like. Guess you get what you paid for.

  • any android you can take a screen shot by holding the power button and the volume bottom rocker and that takes screen shots

  • I bought one from ibood around may 2011 £129.00. It came unlocked but with T-Mobile Germany software and bookmarks which can't be removed.

  • lg never released it

  • htc one v or htc desire c gte instead comes with 4.0 ics

  • gingerbreak app

  • time to factory reset and delete every thing to rule out hardware as opposed to corrupt software

  • hi, which specific version of flash player? 10.1.? thx

  • which version of flash player specifically do you use, does it stream in the browser or only offline, and where did you get it? thx

  • how to update my lg optimus chic android 2.2.1 version to 2.3?

  • hey, for putting music on your phone, you have to change it from mp3 to mp4, or something like that.

  • go ebay.com and search "LG unlock code", then pay few dollors to get it unlocked.

  • How i can do a Screenshot?

  • go to google site. log in with your email address. and tick the forget password thing and it automatically searches for any gmail account related to that email address so you can retrieve any gmail account you used for your phone. that happened to me before. that's what I did. They gave me my gmail account associated with my email address and asked me to create a new password. Then I just logged in with my gmail username and new password. hope that helps.

  • What you mean by locked??? Bricked or carrier locked...so sign in through your google account

  • Unluckly my LGE720 get blocked it is asking To unlock, sign in with your google account. How can i unlock my set? Plz somebody help me!!!!!!!

  • Hi I am from Indonesia. . . I want to Ask When LG Optimus Chic / LG E720 In Release In Indonesia (I really love this phone). . . Thank You

  • try the CD which u get with the divice

  • Does the camara have flash and also can i watch movies on it? like if i put a movie onto my micro sd card and then in the phone??

  • Considering I picked this thing up for $60 taxes in with my staff discount and it came with $30 in activation credits, it was 100% worth it. No issues at all with it so far. Battery life is just fine (dunno what that other person is doing with theirs to make it die so quickly). If you want a smartphone with no contract or are on a budget it's a fantastic phone.

  • The device was broken when it came, the SD cart unmounted randomly. The low memory is a hugh problem. The battery (its still almost new) does no last even a half day with moderate use

  • Good value for money!

  • beeper phone

  • what is the highest microsd card i can put in a Optimus Chic E720

  • Between 250 and 300 $ with Bell Canada

  • just go to LG service centre and update your phone that's it. your phone need update ok

  • Not working with Wi-Fi, picking up an incorrect IP. How can I release and renew the IP?

  • I want to but this phone. Can anyone tell me the price of this phone. I think it is a good phone for me. The look of this phone really makes me happy. I am waiting to know the price.

  • Great phone but it won't support flash player download. Help.

  • I like the phone so far but im having a problem trying to put music on my phone can someone help me?

  • I just got the LG Optimus Chic/ LG e720. When I try to connect it to my USB port on my laptop, it tells me that I don't have a driver device installed? I thought all that would be automatic when I first connected my phone to the USB port. I have been to the LG mobile support and I can't even find the correct model.. it says LG e720B. Can anyone help please?

  • i have the optimus one I the optimus chick has a better camera but a poorer battery life but the optimus one did take great pictures with a 3.2 mg px the price was very reasonable i like the android 2.2 but i am tired of touch screens

  • The Phone is great. There is a lot of Android Apps to download. I use it already 2 months and I think the phone works very good.

  • support whatsapp?

  • Just got my new phone yesterday and I am in love. My first android phone after 5 years of dedicated fandom to RIM and I feel like I just went from DOS to Windows7 in one jump. Everything that I could ever want of a phone, WIFI hub, accessability, syncing, personalization, speed, easy to learn and on top of it user friendly with loads of apps to chose from. Only thing I could think of improving is the fact that after a phone call, the screen doesn't come back fast enough to be able to choose want you want to do with the call or end it faster. Oh well, minor issue considering such a great phone.

  • The Phone is great. And there is a lot of Android Apps to download.

  • how to recieve pics on my lg optimus chic e720? i can send but i dont get any...please help

  • Yes, it supports Skype (chat & audio), SIP calls (audio/video) with sipdroid and Fring (Chat, audio & video)

  • Since its a Android phone you can use Skype downloading from Android market if not in the phone.

  • yes

  • Do anyone know that, LG Optimus Chic E720 support skype? Anyone have got this experience? Pls let me know?

  • support for flash 10.1?

  • It is a good for buying. Equipped with Android 2.2, it runs very smooth and powerful for many wonderful apps to use. Except that the screen is small, 3.2", and poor battery, about 8hrs for internet and GPS use, of course you can buy a backup battery for instant exchange. It costs about HK$2300, a bit expansive but you never be put in jail. So it may be better than to use iphone because you don't need to pay for more than HK$6000 and but put you in jail. You need to break jail then before you are happy. Quite funny iphone guys.

  • Because it has Andriod 2.2

  • got this phone for christmas works fairly well, although battery life is poor the camera has no flash, but resolution is good i recommend it

  • lol..release date of december can be discarded as well!

  • increasing cpu to 800mhz or best to 1ghz is the BOTTOM LINE including built-in memory to 1ghz or higher is GREATEST OF ALL. THANKS

  • phone 5 mp camrera an a gps an looking this is diffrent only

  • difference b/w lg opteimus one p500 vs lg optimus chic 720 is Pros: ----- Camera: 5 MP, 2592 x 1944 pixels, autofocus Video: VGA@30fps Cons: ----- Battery: Standard battery, Li-Po 1250 mAh Stand-by Up to 450 h (2G) / Up to 450 h (3G) Talk time Up to 5 h (2G) / Up to 5 h 30 min (3G)

  • I really wish to read the review.

  • I think that chic has lower battery but better camera

  • Whats major difference between LG Optimus 500 and LG Optimus Chic????

  • Actually , i got this phone on hands, and it really looks awesome, i guess the successful point about this phone is being powered by android OS , makes it very usefull, using popular websites(Facebook,Youtube, Twitter,..etc) can't be much easier with the help of an average powered CPU (600 MHZ)which is also very noticable while experiencing the touch sceen with a high response rate , only 1 pain point has, it doesn't have flash light with the 5 megapixel camera, overall i guess that this phone can be great competitor of Iphone in the market, Recommend to buy.

  • I want it RED!!! ;-)

  • it says it's available why is it not available?

  • what's the difference between flash 10.1 and flash lite? i mean i heard it can handle youtube, but not flash based websites, is that true?

  • Avoid a phone with specs like these that packs any less than a 1GHz processor. You WILL run into problems.

  • Can gsmarena post more pictures gallery for this Optimus Chic. I also want to see white color

  • It's already released in Hong Kong. It looks quite good, but I'm not sure how much I can trust an LG phone. > < Don't know what would happen if I dropped it.

  • in which country are u referring to? spec wise it is better than optimus one, hence every chance of marking a higher price!

  • can someone tell when will this phone come out on Philippine market... please....

  • you got a point there.... but this phone has the same price with the optimus one ... or its even cheaper...

  • i feel this model will be a flop compared with optimus one. the main reasons are useless 5 mp camera which only helps to peak the price and a very poor battery. . . . optimus one is the perfect phone as a low end android device. atleast they should have replaced the processor with a one that supports flash 10.1 ! so all together a roomless and scopeless phone !

  • I am now waiting to use

  • Expect it to be launched before x'mas but by the time it comes to India (since you said Croma) it will be mid Jan 2011 when you can buy it.

  • wow.....damn nice phone..........actually i wanted to buy SE X8.......but now.........I gonna crazy for this phone...........android 2.2.................can somebody tell me how much price is it............

  • Only two things missing in this phone.. LED Flash and music equalizer as no android phone have music equalizer. WTH

  • @RJTechPro, my misunderstanding - post should not be in reply to yours. Sorry.

  • If you know (or have any idea) about the launch date, price, availability or additional details of the kind for India concerning this phone, then let us know.

  • Croma ppl havent heard of d phone god knows wen exactly r dey going 2 launch it.m waiting 2 buy d phone if anyone has an idea do let me know

  • You have no idea of what you are talking about!!

  • I just phoned LG India Customer Service Call Centre today about this phone but they hadn't even heard about it ! "Sorry Sir, no idea," was the response to whether they knew the launch date of this phone. If ANYONE from LG sees these posts, please give us an update.

  • Well, here we are guys, the first of December. The release date of Nov 2010 can be thrown out the window.

  • seems better than optimus one.. almost the same specs but this has a 5 megapixel camera while optimus one has only 3 megapixel.. and style wise this is better lookin than the optimus one.. so I'll definitely wait for this one.. cheers :D

  • 600 Mhz means no flash support?

  • hey it not yet released... .what's happening... it already the first of november... LG com'on... you should keep us from waiting... weve waited for this a long time already... maybe its time for it to be released. I'll buy this phone for sure...

  • I want it too.

  • I want this phone

  • Mind telling us why this phone sucks? Do you even have one? It's better looking and has better specs than the optimus one.

  • This phone sux dont buy the phone buy its brother Optimus one its best

  • does this have led that blinks when message arrives?

  • i nooed this phone so badly

  • I hear that LG can't keep up with production.

  • Is T9 the only way to to write? or is it an option to change it to QWERTY?

  • I think it will never be relased...

  • when will they release this?? where in the third week of novembr already..

  • @Mfyc from where country u are? how much did you get it? Im from Philippines this phone is not available in the market yet, pls advised

  • Why is it not java?

  • When will this phone be available in Philippines? how much is the introductory price? I wasn't able to grab the optimus one as it has a limited time only. Hope this time I can have it already. Pls advised LG

  • no way !

  • Apple phones has even less features than SE handsets, however, they are still considered a Premium brand! It's about quality and experience. Not everything is about specs.. For example look at moto, their phones have really good specs but the fact is that they are the worst performer now and the less profitable company as well! This means that specs are important but what's more important is the quality of the brand and the great experience and let's not forget the good customer support. Be real and wake up, stop bashing a leading company like Sony.

  • how can you use it? it can't be buy yet..

  • i luv this phone im using it its a good phone

  • One word, Fancy ;)

  • it doesn't have video call camera shenoyjoseph

  • it's awsomwe...i'll probably get it for my birthday :)

  • It's not "Chic", why LG didn't release its own UI like Samsung's TouchWiz UI?

  • OMG!?!?! what you think china phone?? lol

  • Come on guys give the detailed review of this phone and LG optimus one plzzzzzzzz

  • Is this Dual Sim ?

  • I just can't wait for the review. :D

  • - Multi-touch input method - Accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate - Proximity sensor for auto turn-off - Ambient-light sensor

  • Why does LG always comes with poor battery support..??

  • there is multi touch.

  • No multitouch??

  • I didn't understand a lot of things from your post, but if you say samsung is a whole lot better, wich model? i5800 has low resolution and galaxy S is from a totaly different price range.

  • lg is competing with samsung but it is much backward den samsung samsung is becoming more advance den nokia but nokia is nokia no one can compete with nokia in lg everything limited

  • Oh, and I forgot to ask when do you think the review of this phone will apear? the 360 degrees already appeared.

  • Maybe, but it has ANDROID!!! Not LG's non-OS.

  • lg phones have always software issues/....poor software poor interface..lg is good for cool aircondincen or refregaretors..or tv or music systems..not for mobiles...

  • If samsung has hummingbird processor, LG has hangingbird processor. Lol,

  • Looks pretty cool phone. Thank god there isn't useless front camera, which only would give additional price. Looks like HTC aria. Good resolution. Definitely better than Wildfire. The only question - is there multi-touch?

  • this set is very nice but secondry camera needed

  • wow ambient light sensor

  • look like htc aria

  • no video call camera again very poor

  • You are SUCH a fanboy.. All the iPhones until the iPhone4 had the same HVGA resolution, this being on a small screen would give slightly higher ppi too. And this phone is targetted towards the lower end of the market, unlike iPhone4.

  • very low resolution

  • i think so this time LG Give good ph,but why there is no front camera.why there is good ph in Lg an there is one think is missing but any how peoples like this ph and style i like the design looks like i phone bt a differnt shape.. advance congrs LG

  • not a bad little fone at all

  • you should verify screen resolution, it is not 240x400 but 320x480 thanks in advance ;)
