LG Optimus Sol E730 - User Reviews

  • there is no option for screen shot u have to download it in Play store

  • How to take a screenshot on lg-E730

  • Its a good quality will khnow mobail

  • I used this phone for a few years and I wouldn't buy it again though I bought it with the service and got a discount for it. I mainly wanted a phone, nothing more, and as a phone it is doing its job fair, but... 1. After a while (not sure if software updates are to blame of poor hardware assembly), it started to crash during calls and failed to start, showing an yellow screen and the "Emergency only" message. I had to let the phone rest a few minutes before starting it again in order to boot properly. 2. I wanted to use it as a GPS when I really needed it and it was a nightmare. As it doesn't have GLONASS satellites, it takes forever to get a fix and it looses the fix often. As a conclusion, don't buy it, unless you want to take the components out of it. probably an lcd and a battery for $20 worth the price.

  • Good phone, used it for 3 years. Very good screen, good response times. Dropped a few times. Light, good shock absorber. You can not brick it. Softed many times, all kinds of ROMs. Upgraded now to LG G2...

  • I used this phone. It's worst phone, don't go for it. Nothing is good in this phone. camera :(. speed :(

  • its one of the worst phones i hav used ..it lags and stops at many times...just 1 year purchased bt its vry painfull .many times hav to restart the phone cause it hangs alot...imagine ur making a. urgent call and d phone hangs dead...it annoying...sometimes it doesnot detect the sim. plz if u purchasing it with ur hard earnd money ..sont think if going for it.

  • Screenshot: Vol Down + Power at the same time

  • Clear every app cache it will improve speed. Tested! Also format your SD card it one of the reasons why phone is slow. And the last what you can do is to reset to factory default settings.

  • i am using this model past 1.5 years,and working very bad,very very dead slow,tell me how to solve my problem,,thank you.....

  • after restore , wifi nt supported.. y? pls helpme

  • This I would consider the worst mobile phone I have ever come across. I have used it for almost 2 years and I am commenting based on that long experience. This mobile sometimes fail to even provide the basic functionalities like saving numbers or searching saved numbers. This is a huge risk when you are in an emergency situation. Another risk is that sometimes photos captured by camera are not auto saved, and sometimes photos saved simply disappear. Simply put, avoid this mobile phone at all cost, and the best decision is to avoid LG altogether when it comes to mobile.

  • The camera looks like a 1.3 megapixels because you are too smart to entert settings and set the maximum resolutio ..i hate people that just want to show their fake intelligence

  • Hi can I use Samsung headset, travel charger and microsd for this phone or not as need to know only so please reply it.

  • hi, how can i check how much ram this phone has/or works? thanks!

  • hmm quite a good phone but it say 512mb ram but my LG sol only like has 375mb total ram stated my phone :( which puzzle me

  • How to screenshot with this phone?

  • You can flah ICS official with KDZ....i dont know if can be updated OTA in Italy, im from other country.

  • Thanks. How will I update my LG OPTIMUS SOL E730? IS IT via wi-fi?

  • Hi! ICS official is available for LGE 730 (LG Optimus Sol). LG Italia has released V20C version, is ICS android 4.0.4 with new kernel. You can flash this rom with KDZ installer. Good luck!

  • its a ood phone with good features , but unfortunately my phones display broke down , but its not available in market , kindly requesting for the display my email id is 65 [email protected]

  • worst phone dont buy cheapest quality phone from cheapest manufacturer.it not even open browser smoothly or gallery

  • Its a overall good phone which has most of the features of high end phones but it lags and crashes enough for it to be annoying. Besides that and the fact that it body of phone dents and scratches easily Its a good phone.

  • Nice handset however, built quality is not good. Back scraches easily. Unfortunately, the software is stuck to android 2.3.4. they should release an update because the hardware is good. Picture quality, so so. Goodbuy anyway

  • Now it has new android version ;]

  • NO the phone sucks, it wont charge anymore.

  • This phone is brilliant I am using it for last 1 year and it has never given me any problem runs great on all android softwares gaming internet. Its really an asset to have one.

  • Even after use of 1year itz still awsm,it works jst as new mobile... i feel lucky 2 hav dis mobile wid me :)

  • this is the best phone ever made by LG, because it has ultra amoled display only in thos model...and good software and hardware combination.unbelivale battery back up in this catagory phone.very slim body� you cannot belive it with out holding it in your hand..a dedicated microphone for noce cancell..and it has 16millon colour..........i love it verry much.

  • i like this phone bcoz its look good and its working properly its depend on u r use of mobile

  • this phone is so perfect look nice and working so perfectly

  • I thought that Im the only one facing problems with this phone but now that I read the comments I see Im not so.... The built-in quality its very poor, Im using it for one year and now its squeeks and creeks all over the body, its very slow, it lags and freezes all the time no matter what task it would perform. It reboots everyday for several times when playing games and sometimes it won't recognize the SD card or the Sim Card or other times starts up with different glitches. The camera its supposed to be 5 MP but it looks like a 1.3 one. To top it all, the sleep-wake button ( on/off ) won't work anymore. I don't recommend this phone ( in fact,I dont recommend any LG smartphone ) Its just the worst smartphone I've ever heard or seen...

  • I have been using this phone for over a year now Highly disappointed with the performance. Phone is dead slow and hangs quite often though I have not installed any additional softwares. Some times unable to make calls and need to restart the phone .ALso having some problems with camera. When checked the resale value is also very less for LG phones.Any tips on how to improve the performance and also to add reminders

  • Hey guys, i was doing firmware update for my phone as it prompted that software update is available while connected with my com. However, while updating the program, the program stopped responding and my phone got stuck at emergency mode. It does not respond to any button. Anyone has experience and solutions for this. Thanks a million

  • Dear all plz help to me in my LG optimus sol E730. in my mobile downloading is slow very slow what will do plz help me.....

  • lg optimus e730 have 3g video calling how to connect it

  • i'm sorry but i wanna ask how to take screen photo if it available ..!!

  • The Worst Camera i have ever experienced of a mobile.Worst than a VGA camera. I guess i just wasted my money on it.its worthless.

  • the camera just stop responding and gives a message that forces it to close

  • 16 milions color,no 256!

  • while no official firmware. is informal, but of course, that stability can be expected. and lose your warranty.

  • Can I upgrade the OS to Android 4 or above ?

  • Open applications - settings - applications - manage applications - all. Then choose any application like facebook browser skype google search google play store google maps social google talk twitter voice search etc. Next step is to clear data cache for all those applications. Next what you have to do is format your memory card! This will improve performance and phone will run fast again!

  • my phone is very slow and even the os reset then after 2 dayes its working slow.please solve the problem.

  • have the phone in mobile tracker

  • awesome phone !! only thing missing is a flash!! else its a great phone

  • This is a great little smartphone. Minor problems in terms of overheating when it is "abused", but I would recommend it to everyone. Its elegant and capable.

  • direct answer from lg for optimus sol users

  • try hard reset the phone download advanced task killer which ll let your phone kill unnecessary apps in background. these ll improv d performan of phone. uninstall apps not in use

  • it will be solved if u hard reset to factory settings... as the delays may be due to memory clogging

  • what are the reasons u say so.... any particular areas which u find problematic

  • just reset the os..

  • LG E730 - it's auto switch off 1 time/day min., worst - 3 times a day. How to sort it out? Please help.

  • It's unbelievable that this great phone doesn't have a review!

  • Everything's nice the display, the sound quality, internet speed is also good, a large big display, Good picture quality, every thing is superb except 2 things-- 1. It does not have led flash.. :( 2. The phone gets slow most of the times and even gets hang.. :(

  • I liked this series of LG mobile,what a picture quality.

  • it is very good handset.attractive colors.good camera.very thin.very good screen and picture quality.

  • Worst smart phone ever

  • the rest is for the GPU

  • The phone looks really great. But yes one big disappointment that i am facing ever since i have bought this phone is that it has a huge delay in respone. worst thing one could experience is while making calls. It takes me forever to make a call as i click on call option it responds only after 30-40 secs. I have nothing additional apps installed to what comes along with the phone. Still it hangs......I would never recommend this phone to anyone who is looking in for some thing with the same features. Sad but True :(

  • i find my phone to be working really slow.... Can you post me some tips to get it run faster. The worst part is that even when i need to make a call, the Phone apps hangs forever and it gets irritating to use this phone :( Any help would be must appreciated

  • Manju see nxt time good luck

  • I'm using this phone form 9 months and I had only one problem with it. It didn't has a flashlight. But I have only good things to say about it I jumped with it in the swimming pool and is still working. In my opinion is the best smart phone on the market.

  • It's a fast and good looking phone. The only thing it's missing it's a software update.

  • I have the phone for almost 9 months now and i very pleased with it. I can say that Corning Gorilla Glass is worth every penny. Droped it a few times, once on gravel from high and smashed the plastic around the screen, but the screen is without a scratch. Android works pretty well, but u can overload it. If there are too many programs (i had many) running simultaneously it will restart itself. Considering the money i paid for it, 60 Euro at a Vodafone 2 year subscription, (230 Euro to buy) it is excelent

  • hey guyz using dis thing from past 2 weeks.... itz realy sec_c.... but i m facing problem with its lock/unlock button....as it is taking 5 out of 10 response...nd further it takes click only from extreme left side.... r u all also facing dis or only mah phn has dis problem.....plzz rply...:(

  • This one is much better, i've had it for quite some time and i'm very please with it. Excellent camera and video rec, brilliant screen, decent battery back-up, very thin. The only thing missing is an LED flash. Otherwise, the phone is brilliant.

  • this or huawei g300?

  • uc browser is in google play,man,im using it and beside the huge cache it run quite well.

  • oh it has flash don't worry,gorilla glass i don't know but i slso really don't care because after 8 months of usage without any protection the screen is still flawless.and with 512 mb memory the ICS should run good on the phone

  • 16million colours should have been provided with this phone

  • Install juice defender ultimate 3.9.4 It will increase battery backup to 18-20 hours

  • I don't have gps signal on my lg sol, could i do something with?

  • this phone is so good. its look like i phone. perfect internet speed. good display like a 3d phone. all samsung phone are failed in this phone lg optimus s0le e730.

  • Yes you can make video call with front camera

  • I purchase e730 and it has all the function i like the finishing of this phn ...and i am satisfied with this phn....

  • It has gorilla glass...as well as it as screen captur as well

  • Do not buy it. It was looking good at first but then I realised it is.. . Every app lags even angry birds our fruit ninja. GPS didn't work. It takes forever to launch and then it loss location. .. touchscreen Is crap. It touches somewhere else than where I tap and the list can continue

  • This phone has evry thing you want, realy its nice phone who wanna really satisfaction

  • Is this phone is a good purchase??? please suggest me Thanks to all!!!

  • Plz tell me that it have gorilla glass or not???

  • This phone is very nice, the battery lasts long, the performance is satisfactory, if you don't plan to play games like Skyrim on it... I installed Cyanogenmod with difficulty, but out of the box I was impressed, I guess it depends with the retailer, but I got a free backup battery, screen cover, and 8GB external, and it was still quite cheap. I've got a couple of crashes since I've got it, but that's not surprising with Androids...

  • Please tell me what games did you tested?

  • same specs as the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, except the size of the screen, 90 % of the games for xperia play works on lg sol, tested myself

  • Can we connect pendrive as a external memory to optimus sol via otg cable

  • if you are a hardcore gamer you want to play hd games please dont buy this phones because i dosent support any and gamelofts games are incompatible for this phone

  • The Spects are correct have gorrilla glas and onli 265k colours.. in italian

  • Inbuild memory of opt sol is 1 gb only and only for app. it cant click a single picture without memory card.

  • You can do whatever you want with that internal memory, but phone's box includes a 2GB micro SD.

  • what do u think?? of course

  • hey guys can any one tell me about inbuilt memory of optimus sol it shows 0.94gb but can we use it to store videos & images. or it is for adding software only

  • yes

  • Does this phone support videocall on skype with front camera?

  • ya it s really nine 1 compare with any smart phones this price point i feel good thnk for lg..

  • LG Optimus Sol runs prety well. It's no S2 but for it's price it's good. I only experienced some problems with it when I was playing a free game from the app store but it never dropped a call or turned off suddenly. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.

  • 1.The phone has 16mil colors. 2.The phone doesn't have Gorilla Glass :(( So be careful)

  • My battery can hold up to 3 days with wi-fi allways on usualy I recharge it every 2 days (ex: Mo morning-> We - afternoon) I use the 3G Internet only when I really need IT (when I`m downtown and I have to receive some e-mails etc.). I am verry satisfied by the Quality/Price ballance and I recommand this defice for the ones who need a medium-height performance and for a low cost.

  • i bought lg e730 (optimus sol) only a few days back and i'm quite happy with its performance. yes, i'm using skype on this phone almost everyday to talk to my friends abroad.

  • Hi, can anyone tell me how often you charge the battery. can be used at least 3 days (used as a phone 1 hour /day)without recharge? Thank you.

  • Firefox on most platforms is quite wasteful of memory; it will run out no matter how much ram you have.

  • Try it. supprting all these with great resulution

  • The real RAM capacity is 375 MB and Firefox Mobile, withch requires 512 MB, often crashes, sometimes even the phone suddenly restarting.

  • I don't think the specs are good the display has 16Mil colors not 256K (or so it mentioned on LG's site) also not sure about Corning Gorilla Glass, I have red on different sites that it does not have it

  • got this phone sometime in January 2012, 8 days later I've sent it to the repair shop due to a failure in video recording mode; it was changed with another new one but this one had even more problems: randomly restarting, either in stand-by mode or while speaking, lost signal when normally this shouldn't happen (open space), the processor doesn't carry all the applications I was running even when I've tried to stop some tasks on RAM... I do not recommend this phone; try Optimus 2X or some other brand instead. Apparently Android 2.3.4 has some bugs, be carefull.

  • the phone doesn't have gorilla glass

  • it's an awsome phone!i got it last week and i love it! one thing i am not happy about: i phoned to LG and the phone does not have gorilla glass display so watch out!you can check it on their homepage!

  • Feel is good i love it

  • A very good phone!

  • If your phone needs to be restored to its original condition, use hard reset to reboot your phone. 1. When the phone is switched off, press and hold the Volume down key + Power key with your left hand. 2. When the LED on the bottom of the phone lights up, touch and hold the Menu key + Back key with your right hand. You need to do this immediately, before the screen displays the LG logo. Make sure your lefthand is still holding the Volume down and Power keys. 3. When the LG logo is displayed on the screen, continue to hold the keys for around 2 seconds, and then release all them at the same time, before the LG logo disappears. Leave your phone for at least a minute while the hard reset is carried out. You will then be able to switch your phone back on.

  • Brilliant for little money!!!!! Best of smarthphones

  • reported to give money is incredible device. display is excellent

  • anyone knows how to perform factory/hard reset without using the Menu? I mean, using only the external buttons. Thanks!

  • lg is a good brand this phone is good lking 1gb user memory is good

  • How can I record a call with this phone?

  • lg is much much better than sony ericson ... be it the features or the price .. so i'd reckon u go for lg ..

  • On lg.com it says that the screen has 16M colors.

  • What is the releasing date. Looks very good

  • I would take the SOL, cos it has a larger screen. However, you might want to consider SE Neo V and Xperia play.

  • hi guys!:) i have a question:-? right now i have a dilemma..i wanna buy a new phone and i have 2 choose between sony ericsson xperia mini pro and lg optimus sol.i'm looking for a smartphone with a long usage period fast and pretty...so watcha say? reply fast! thx

  • take a look at the processor, the optimus 2x has got a dual-core processor, where this has a singlecore also the screen is a difference

  • This is my first smartphone and the only thing that dissapoints me face to my older phone is the battery. When you activate 3G internet and use it moderate (about 2-3 hours a day) the battery is gone in about 12 hours. When you stop Internet, the battery lasts about 72 hours with moderate using (about one hour speaking in a day). Another disadvantage is the lack of a speed button for the camera. A good screen, a good camera for pictures as well as movie. I think it is comparable with LG Optimus 2X, it doesn't worth to pay more 100 EUR for it.

  • whats it like in comparison to lg optimus 2x? cant seem to find much differences apart from the 5mp and 8 mp camera

  • The internal memory is 1GB, not 150 MB as stated in the specifications from gsmarena. So, don't worry, there's plenty of space for applications.

  • In Romania is 170 euro.http://www.okazii.ro/catalog/60378623/lg-op­timus-sol-e730-sigilate-garantie-2-ani-24h-gsm-.­html

  • Screen goes off/on because it has proximity sensor near to speaker, u can test while in call just cover the upper part near to speaker, then screen will go blank and uncover screen will be on. It is designed such a way that wen u keep it ears, then proximity will be covered, u dont need screen to be on at that time, screen off during this will save power.

  • Does anyone know if the LG Optimus Sol will be upgraded to Android 4.0?

  • have 16 mil colors!!!

  • hey guys its a nice phone indeed gud one but iam worried a bit abotu optimus black coz this might beat lgs one of the best smart phone and a toughf compitation for samsungs galaxi SL and other series...

  • In Romania is about 260-270 Euros

  • one day max 36 hours

  • the adobe flash player didn't work, i can't see videos in flash player....,otherwise the screen is better then iphon 4 ,he move smooth and promt,the speaker is not so very powerfull...anyway the price is more than good

  • one day max 36 hours

  • Can someone tell me what is their average battery life with this smartphone? Can i at least get 2 days with moderate use?

  • it has 1GB user available memory !! It's a mistake!

  • Can someone tell me how much user available internal memory it has? (i can't believe the specs, from 2 gb ROM only 150 mb left for the user, it must be a mistake).

  • this is nice i have already bl 20

  • Just bought one, it looks and feels pretty nice although it's lighter than other phones, I guess due to the fact it's plastic made all over; for that it feels (but doesn't look ;-))a bit like a cheap toy. The ultra Amoled screen looks fabulous, the 1GHz CPU's doing its job. As cons, there are two things that still bothers me, the lack of any physical button(a No/Yes or just one button somewhere in the middle would've been nice)and the second thing, during any voice-call the screen randomly goes on and off. Other than that, it seems like a great phone for its price, we'll see in the future, overall, I'll recommend it.

  • And i'll too probably buy this phone, and price for this phone is about 300e, but here in Serebia is 320e, little more expensive than in rest of the Europe.

  • i am waiting for this phone. looks great...

  • hi everybody i just want to know that what is the price of this phone plz somebody tell me i want to buy this one thnx

  • Yes, this phone have Andreno 205 GPU! :)

  • Check LGs italian website And you'll find that this phone have 720p video resolution and Gorilla Glass.

  • LG please tell whether this phone has a dedicated GPU like adreno 205, this phone xcept for its built quality looks good, if it comes with a good radio and nice call quality this phone has the potential to compete with the xperia neo and much awaited samsung galaxyW

  • in romania its already launched .. it costs 1200 lei=276 euro=380 dollars, sim-unlocked

  • Please let know the price of LG OPTIMUS E730

  • i have one (i am Lg tester). the phone has 720p HD recording, gorilla glass display, flash 10.3, android 2.3.4. Gsmarena must modify this specs !!!

  • I think LG is forgot to release this fone........hehehehehe

  • But on Site they provide only VGA recording??

  • The max. video recording res. is 720p not 480p

  • Good specs for a midrange phone it should have a flash improve signal reception call quality music quality and ultimately built quality..

  • Well , they said Mid-September 2011 ... No Sol ... it's nearly the end of September ( it's the 29th today ) ... No Sol ... LG = Ah ***

  • Mobile Lover is correct..its amazing but its not a new feature..

  • Multitouch means that you can touch the screen with more than one finger! It's of course an amazing feature!

  • Anybody, please put a hand on experience about this with price level...thanx.

  • is it don't hav gorilla glass disply?

  • what's mulch-touch? is that a new feature? sorry newbie

  • If this phone have flash light means then this phones dominate the all other budget phone like aceS5830....

  • jst check the screen resolution.. its same as galaxy s II bt its 0.5" smaller.. so better u guess the clarity of the screen it will be awesome.. optimus rocks.. :)

  • dnt cry friends its obvious that it has a 2GB of rom.. bcoz it cant have 2gb as well as 512mb ram :) n its multi-touch these guys r in much hurry these days i think :P

  • Weak point of lg costly phones against samsung no advertise no branding late lounching no color option no scheme for delar if u want to stable in market so notice

  • please somebody in d gsmarena fix or make clear a few specs of this phone such as 'mulch touch' n '2gb ram', is it true or is it false!

  • please somebody in d gsmarena fix or make clear a few specs of this phone such as 'mulch touch' n '2gb ram', is it true or is it false!

  • Please verify that the 2GB of RAM are really ROM, because a phone dosen't have 2 separate RAM Memories.

  • .you can fit a 4.3" display with the dimensions like this phone. Or you can make a smaller phone with the display size like this phone.

  • what is ultra amoled ?

  • Ever seen the Galaxy lineup of Samsung? Search button is integrated with their Home button just perform a long press. LG's design solution may be similar to Samsung.

  • My next phone

  • does it have hdmi out.... or another Optimus black?????

  • y VGA camera in front @ maximum mobiles including this one.... ? Expecting Megapixelsin front camera

  • When it will released in Asian market?

  • Yes, it would be ROM. Spelling mistake.

  • technically very strong phone 9.5/10

  • search button is missing, where tat is must in every android device

  • one more good fone from LG

  • wow what a huge border for such a small screen

  • 2 GB RAM (150 MB user-available), 512 MB RAM

  • 2gb ram looooololololollollo!!!! it should be rom, not ram!!

  • What the heck? No LED flash and no HD recording for an "Ultra AMOLED" phone? Pass, LG, pass.

  • When available in india? ( As OPTIMUS NET still not availble!) SOL E730 Aprox. price ? If some one distinguish compare wtih OPTIMUS BLACK ! Pls Help !

  • Why did LG put capable Hardware but kept it out of the HD train? Is it that expensive to feature HD video on a phone? And also no LED flash. Disappointed.

  • 2GB RAM? Seriously? Do you mean ROM?

  • 2 GB RAM (150 MB user-available), 512 MB RAM ???

  • No Led Flash?? We are in 2003 lol??

  • Comparable to the Huawei Ideos X5 (http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_u8800_ideos_x5-3­596.php) As it's OLED it should be better than a regular LCD but cheaper than super-AMOLED's.
