LG S5200 - User Reviews

  • Halloween Fever and Action in Life games bring back so much memories and nostalgia for me personally. :)

  • Same games as the LG B2050 but now with a taller screen, they should be interesting ;)

  • where is the sar?

  • hmm i think i like it

  • Can someone please help - I have LG S5200 and cannot get it connected to my blue tooth that is in my car - the phone and car have connected but when I try to use, it will not connect and there is no speaker icon on the incar screen at the side of the phone name - any suggestions please

  • i had this phone before and is stayed with me for about a year, everything works nicely except the battery, u have to charge every day and sometimes twice a day and there is no solution for it

  • I have this mobile for 7 month. Good things: -Its almost never break down for black screen. -Its good to call with -When you think about the mega pixels only are like 1,3 it takes fine pictures. Bad things: -Its slow when you sms's. Not good for people who sms's much. :-/ -When you write a sms everytime you have to spell a word without T9. that is sooo irritating!! It can only spell to i think 200 words. -The calender is bad, and you cant use it for what its really for! Thats what ive noticed..

  • Generally phone is nice, and has good price/quality ratio. But… Huge problem is battery that lasts two days max and the speaker is not very loud, but pictures, especially in high resolutions are great. In addition, it is very easy to connect it to a computer, which “recognizes” it as a flash disk, file managing is easy, and I never had a problem with Bluetooth…. be good

  • hi i have a problem with bluetooth can enybody halp mee thanks

  • I'm Using Handset still last 1Years it's not good handset almost 10 int to 15 mints take to download songs via Bluetooth and also Not getting proper signal, and i given to service. LG Service Engg., Said there is no Complient in your handset LGs5200 In Mumbai-India All over LG Show room & Service centre They Are Not getting Body Cover of LGs5200

  • Am using this mobile since 8 months.it won't provide any battery backup.No clarity in the camera,disavantage is no extendable memory .

  • I had my S5200 for only 3 months. It has a cool, sleek and pocket-size design, but I had problems with reception, battery-life and the MP3 player. My main concern was the volume which was too low, even though it was set to max. The battery also didn't last for more than a day. I would really not recommend this phone to anyone interested in playing games or MP3s. It just looks and feels good, that's the only positive features, in my opinion.

  • Hy !!! I have a problem with my lg s5200. I want to go to File Storage ,but when i go in it says Unformatted! Format multimedia if anybody know how to fix that please contact me at my e-mail [email protected] Thanks ....

  • Are there any battery saving options on the phone?

  • how to adjust the MP3 playing volume ? it's very soft no doubt volume is maximum

  • To put your friends picture when he/she rings... When you take your picture with the camera adjust the size of the picture to 48x48. That's the only format that fits. Then go to the contact - Edit and straight down there it is.. Try it

  • You that had problems with putting your picture as a wallpaper. I had the same problem. The thing is that you have too many pictures already in your phone. Try to delete some of them. After try to put the picture as a wallpaper and I'm sure that it will not be a problem.

  • hi i sent a picture to the handphone via bluetooth and it's saved in the file storage. i want to use this picture as my wallpaper but dont seem to be able to do this......why help......

  • how do i place the friend's picture so that when he/she calls me,the picture appears?.

  • The battery life is quite low. It s fragile too. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

  • how do i place the friend's picture so that when he/she calls me,the picture appears?.

  • The battery drops very fast when the phone's being used to take (over even just to scroll through pictures)

  • (1.)i would like to know if this device has got the mobile tracker,and if it does,how does it works?. (2.)how do i place the friend's picture so that when he/she calls me,the picture appears?.

  • how do u put the pictures u've taken on your phone to a contact?

  • I love the phone LG S5200, it has all phone takes even more than the rest BUT the battery never last fot one (1). please help out.

  • hey...ive had this phone for almost a year now and my battery never lasts for even a day.and i had to get a new battery and new chargeing block twice.so i would say DONT GO FOR THIS PHONE!!!!

  • I have had this phone for just under a year now and i am applaed with it in more ways than one. the sleek look is fab but the phone lacks any distinctive features that would make it stand out with the best of the rest. the battery life is poor and the mp3 is not very loud at all. the reception is sometimes dodgy and it lacks necessities like expandable memory and fm radio. good for younger people who have never had a phone before but for older, experienced phone users this is a no-go. (and the answer the question of "Oliolioli oioioi" no, you can't put a pin on the messages for security.)

  • hay i just got given this phone i found the look quite sleek and the layout ok the styles r ok but can sumone tel me weather there is anyway in this world weather you can get a password on ur messages for privacy please contact me ...

  • Good Looking phone but lack in features like expandeble memory,multitasking & large sound othrwise it is good. Hope LG will Take care of this next time.

  • good looking, nno doubt in it. It also has a good sound quality. but it lacks features like radio and expandable memory,otherwise would have been a great phone. the battery life is average.

  • poor battery pack

  • Hi I bought this phone after seeing its outlook but it is not good phone due to battery time i used three battries but time is not more than 8 hours. now i m in problem. bye

  • put your setting on automatic network searching mode.or there will be problem with your network coverage by your network provider,which they will never admit.I dont think there is any network problem in this handset.

  • hey... person hu had network problems!... i used to have this phone, and contantly had a proble with the network does it give you the notice 'no network coverage' even though u no u should have it?? i got fed up of the phone and got a nu one!

  • hey... person hu had network problems!... i used to have this phone, and contantly had a proble with the network does it give you the notice 'no network coverage' even though u no u should have it?? i got fed up of the phone and got a nu one!

  • Please i need help! My phone(LG mobile s5200) is losing network connections more often,and sometimes no services especillay when in computer lab(i've confirmed! it's not the sim card nor the network provider)yet not sure abt the battery.Does some1 have the idea... mayb with the network settings or other things!?!

  • People common this phone is great,for a cheap price u get to enjoy somany things a modern phone can right? what's the problem,battery only so if you going to a friends house or what bring along a spare battery.The phone is so light and looks very sexy.I recommend this phone greatly to monay people

  • hey, ive had this phone for a few months, if you dont expect too much its a great phone, you can add pictures to the contacts!!! you have to take the pic in 48*48, set the picture and you can also delete from pics and it will stay in contacts!! im a young female with my own bussiness and the phone works great for me!!!

  • i think it is a very good phone

  • had dis phone ..........was stolen.........can i permanently freeze it or sumthing....wid d imei no...... and also for dat photocall feature..........u have to shoot pictures in d 48 * 48(lowest) resolution mode...........

  • hyy all...i once had LG M4410...U all knew that phone...it sucks...ii see no diference between these 2 phone..only larger internal memory..i personal think all LG are f...up..my advice...don't ever buy an LG...

  • it is bad phone but is better than most phones who have same prise like this phone.I love serbia

  • i have some problems with LG Contents Bank. It cannot upload and download pictures and music. Can some one write me on e-mail what could be the problem.

  • I have this phone, I got it about a year ago. I don't recommend it to anybody because I have had lots of problems with it. The battery runs down after a day which meens I can't stay at friends houses without having my charger which is quite annoying. The camera is absoloutly rubbish, it's only 1.3 mp and it's really slow so if your trying to take a photo of anything it has to be still or the picture goes all blurry. It has an mp2 player but the songs are really quiet.If your thinking of buying it then don't! you won't be happy after a few months of having it and it's quite a waste of money.

  • i have a problem my camera and mp3 i running normal when i buy but now i cant open camere mp3 and my photos .... i dont know what is the problem plz if anyone know how to solve it write to [email protected]

  • My wife had this phone and it is possibly the worst mobile phone we have ever had. The battery was replaced at least twice and still lasted no more than a day for someone who rarely uses the phone. If you are tempted to buy this phone: think again. Choose another one, any one, even an old one because it will be better than this one

  • I have the s5200, and wouldn't really recommend it if you'r looking for a cool camera phone. picture quality sucks, picture taking is indeed slow. Also a small but still anoying problem: if you use your phone as alarmclock you can't put your phone on silence or the alarm will go of in silence. (i'm not joking!) So you have to put your sound on. And the alarm won't work if the phone is off. Good things: it's not an expensive phone and it does all the things required by a modern phone, just a bit.. average.

  • S5200 sucks big time. Crappy 1,3 megapixel cam, no card slot (and therefore no memory expansion) and finally the worst battery time I have ever encountered. Getting rid of that phone was the best thing I've ever done - please don't buy it, do not encourage or condone LG to make even more crappy phones.

  • heey guys, acytually i didn't nuy this cell phone .. but some of urs who wrote their comments said that it's pretty cool & awesome and others said that it's very ugly..... but what about the camera? .. is there any solution for it to get better. dunno:S but i hope anyone write to me telling whether i can but it or not... thnxxx guys..byeeeeee.............

  • the camera is too slow.when you want to take a picture. is there anything i can do?

  • is there any way to load java games into the phone through the USB port? I cant download games because i dont have a wap/grps service.

  • i have this phone n well the batterie life time doesnt even last a day!! as soon as i use it first thing in the morning it dies on me!!.. n e one have n e advice? or know where i can buy a new one? if so please email me

  • i hv ths phone for about a yr now and i simply love it...those who say tht they r hving probs cant use d phone properly....d only - point is battery life...but still it get along 2days if u charge it once...tht 2 after listing to d mp3 for abt 1 hour 15 mins ...d battery does go down fast after u use d camera...but its not tht bad....its a great cell ....it got all d features u would ask 4....and tht too 4 a cool value...

  • I have had this phone for over a year, i think its brill! not had any trouble with it at all! Only thing weakness is the battery life..but you get used to charging it up everyday! lol Overall i love this phone and would reccomend it to anyone.

  • Guys i have some problems with LG Contents Bank. It cannot upload and download pictures and music. Can some one write me on e-mail what could be the problem, is it the phone software locked. Many many thanks

  • Ok so in general this phone is fine the main thing about it is battery.. it goes after like two text messages.. Great memory though.. and the camera isnt too bad..

  • Well,Jesus you have to get the correct website to download a game. I have this phone and so far I have download �150 worth of games

  • Wot a load of rubbish I tried to download a game it said it didnt work but it still charged me for it. Shocking!

  • for all those mentioning about the photobook and picture ID, here's the scoop: your pictures must be taken using the smallest resolution (its pretty ugly). then will you be able to attach it to a contact for those who keep asking for money. just shut up. no where can you find a slot for more memory whatsoever. so stop being a baby and buy a new phone instead.

  • pleaseeeeeeee tell me how to put a picture to a someone calling!!!!!!!!

  • Well, I got this phone for Rs.6000 and man its worth the money. First and Foremost it has a fantastic design undoubtedly one of the best around. When it comes to the camera it aint as bad as some have portrayed it to be, as a matter of fact,it is quite awesome for a 1.3 Megapixel camera. Then we move on to the MP3 player.Lets face it, it aint no loudspeaker but audible enough for a normal listener. It should be fine for you as long as you dont plan to use it to make a thousand people dance in your party.The audio quality is awesome. The phone isnt that heavy so that would be for sure an advantage. 64 MB memory is good enough. The USB comes free with the phone and is very good. The phone has bluetooth. there are other cool features as well like making caller groups,lots of ringtone choices,the display,the themes,the games,the dictionary,world time etc.etc. The most important thing is the first impression which the phone gives.Believe me it looks EXECUTIVE CLASS, it sure does. PS: From my experiences guys believe me CHICKS LOVE IT!

  • i got this phone for my birthday last month and i love it. great design and great features, camera is not too bad although i don't think it is 1.3 megapixels. looks more like 640x480. the only bad things about this phone is how quick the battery runs out. i have to charge it everyday. also the bluetooth could be a bit faster and the mp3 player could be a bit louder. other than that, a very good buy, would recommend to people who want a cheap phone just to make calls and send text messages.

  • I thinked to bought this phone but after that i bought Panasonic VS6. Now i know that i made very good choose .

  • I am satisfied. But battery could remain longer...

  • It's the best ever phone any one can have love it to death.

  • I must have this phone, it is beautiful

  • Man...this phone is seriously lacking

  • excellent style but fragile to external

  • ugly!!!

  • ugly!!!!!!

  • Excellent stuff

  • ok after reading much about it now i have it any mobile have some good and some bad, that one have 4 good things 1)good 1.3 mp cam 2)64 mb in mem 3)charge by pc conection and pc see it as USB 4)very small size light weight and bad about it is 1)u can't add photo of people to call no. 2)u can't make special ring to some one or group 3)u can't add program to it if any one have that mobile can he tel how can i do these last three things

  • hi im deciding wether or not to buy this phone i need to knw if it supports mxit if any one knws please get back to me asap thanks

  • This phone is shocking i have had it for about a year and getting a new one soon i cant wait. the mp3 is too quiet the battery runs out too quick and when i use my video recorder i can only see what i have recorded i cant hear any sound you cant set your own message or alarm tones which is annoying overall this phone is a failure. If you are having a problem with signal, you need to change your band from pcs to dcs you do this by going to the menu and pressing 7521 but if you lose signal again you will probably have to repeat this to call out again.

  • gud luk..that's why i bought it and it's ok for me but the problem is the voice recorder can't heard the sounds you can hear only if you use the headset but it's not clear.

  • bloody crap phone, had it 4 3 days and it f****ng died, i dont know wat hapend, but i dont recommend it to teenagers who talk a lot!!!!!!!!!

  • good looking phone, but battery life is up to crap. ringtones very soft. cannot choose my own message- or alarm tone from my mp3 playlist.

  • I boughtMY LG S5200 phone from Carphone Warehouse and i only had it a week the so took it back they reset settings worked 2 days so took it back again got another phone now had phone 7 months and again had no signal for the last 4 days rubbish phone wouldent buy LG again, and as for adding pictures to phone book doesnt work.

  • it is the perfect phone for busines women

  • well, i bought this phone a week ago end i'm not very proud of it because, like the others guys said, battery sucks;when i use the camera for 5-10 minutes my phone almost turns off or if i listen to music ( in my case, 12 songs) the battery apears to have no more lines...

  • just bought this phone a few days ago.....it sucks, its battery sucks more than mosquitoes, poor sound , no memory.....m thinking that i made a bad dicission in buying this phone......n can anyone tell me how can i increase my ringtone...

  • Well its a pretty cool mobile excpet every time you listen to songs or use the camera the battery is used up like water..

  • I bought this phone 3 months back and right from day one, the signal strength is very weak. Not sure if others have the same issue.........Any suggestions?

  • the battery sucks!!! but the phome is real cool... a mystery about the fone is the photo that can b linked to the number only if it stored in "48 by 48" resolution

  • A very decent cell. i would recommend it if any body can compromise living with - A short battery life - It eats up the battery if u open camera or record a video. - The alarm is akword.. u can define 5 different alarm times but there is no option for snooze. - Blue tooth is a bit slow... - It wont play amr file if its size exceeds some limit (i tried a 272 KB file which it refused to play). - you cannot create a new profile or customize silent or vibrating profile. and i guess one can find many more... but still i would say that it is a good choice for the amount i spent....

  • i both the phone a week ago.thought i have the same problem with Tyana.to store a picture in phonebook.1st,save all in handset or phone.not in the sim card.2nd,u can only save pictures,by using the size 48x48.a small frame will appear.and that is were u aim ur photos.then,youll see when u add names to contacts.picture will appear below.u cant stored big photos,just 48x48 size only.ok,try it again.

  • to jen... i think... u wrote a message further down... JOIN THE CLUB... i bought this phone at the beginin of the year and the reception doesnt work... and also when i took it back to carphonewarehouse they were very un-helpful!! sorry ...just had to say that!!

  • i thought I was the only one with photocall problem Im seeing adding a picture to the phone number as a option but im unable to find exactly how to do it. If any one finds how to plz let me know. LG this is a major downfall

  • how i can to copy my photo from telephone in the computer with bluetooth...........plzzzzzzzzzz somebody can help me?????????........when i search with bluetooth dont show me my picture....??????????????????

  • Bought one , connects to internet when it feels like but refuses to browse pages. Always getting PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED yet internet is connected. Any ideas ? Hey LG why dont you come to the rescue - I dare you or do you know that it is not upto to scratch !!!

  • I find this to be a fantastic little handset. However, I also cannot get the PHOTOCALL to work. When I try to add a picture to a contact name, it says "phonebook picture empty", and I cannot find a specific PHONEBOOK PICTURE GALLERY anywhere. This is frustrating! Any suggestions, anyone???

  • how to send games from computer to mobile lg5200.

  • If someone knows something about how the sound gets louder, please let me know. It's a real emergency, since I still don't know how it works, the songs are very low. Please help...... :'(

  • i love the phone its great i think some people expect to much from a phone i had it for two weeks now and its great chow (k.c)

  • the worst phone ive had battery crap have2 charge it up every day it keeps frezing so u hav 2 take battery out and start again the phone is just S***

  • Bought this phone last weekend. I am less than pleased. The screen is way too bright, there seems to be no way to reduce the brightness. The T9 typing-assist intelligence seems to be inferior to my ancient Panasonic GD35 phone. The phone gives a couple of vibration alerts whenever it is switched on, doesnt seem to be a way to turn off that either. Also, it doesn't seem to have any facility to automatically switch off and switch on at preset times. If I am mistaken about these and there indeed is a way to do these settings, could someone kindly let me know the same?

  • I bought this phone in April this 06. since then I have taken it back to the shop 3 times!!!!!!! There have been 2 faults - one, it sometimes does not recognise the network ! which is a real pain! the other is deleting messages - sometimes it says it has, and then they come back !....... then it takes time thinking about what to do nxt and tells you to wait ! then I cannot do anymore ! I am at the stage where I feel sooooooooo frustrated and I want to scream !!!!!!!!!! the carphone warehouse have not been very supportive and I am going to write to their head office about a refund ! I keep being told that the phone has to be fixed 3 times before they will offer me another ! and each time it goes away for at least 6 weeks !!!!!!!!!!!

  • i think this phone is great..got it for �80 brand new and for that kind of price you cant fault it..looks fantasitc the colour screen is awsome and the tones are out of this world..havent tryed linking it up too the pc yet so im not sure what the software is like that comes with the phone?but too be honest im not really into that anyway...if your after a sleek sexy looking phone that works well and isnt going to burn a hole in your pocket then this is the phone for you..BUY IT!!!i guarantee you wont regret it...

  • hi every1 i just brought the phone 2day looks gud bt how can i extend the memory card...

  • i am thinking of buying this fone but i dnt no weather 2 pic the Samsung X680 instead. can anybody tell me how gd this fone is and what r the bad points. dus it hav an mp3 player on it? plz help i cnt decide xx

  • once again ... the phone timesout probbly b'coz the keypads on autolock. try transfering when ur on the menu screen. and firstly make sure ur doing the other things right. turn the phone modem on, make sure u choose the the LG USB PORT(highest baud rate) on the PC, make sure the phone keypad is'nt locked. click connect n u're done.

  • i 2 hav a prob with d software...i cant transfer pic through it...mp3 and videos can b transferred..as it doesnt depend on d software...but d software shows timeout...each time i try connecting it..does any 1 hv a software thts works properly....?

  • Hi evry1 ive had this phone 4 a week now, and i think that it is worth evry penny. I didn't want to spend too much and so had a budget, but i wanted bluetooth, mp3 player, video and video playback, as I didn't have any of thse features on my old phone. I looked around evrywhere for a new phone and was tempted to but the Motorola V3, but when i saw this phone and saw how much better it was I was pleased with the decision I made. So far I havent had any problems with the phone, so I would suggest if you are planing on buying this phone go ahead, it's well worth it!

  • The LG software works just fine... jus need to make sure the modems on, choose the right port n the keypad aint locked while connecting. The sound files need to be amplified on ur pc with a sound editing tool (like audacity) n then transfered onto the phone. transfering games wit the USB, not sure thats possible unless messin with the firmware. changing wallpapers has always been simple for me. either upload it with the LG software onto the phone memory or transfer it onto the STORAGE folder in USB(multimedia) drive.

  • just got the phone.works beautifully for me. if anybody got answers for following questions plz mail me. 1.i heard u can increase mp3 volume by editing songs on pc.anybody know how? 2.how do download new games via the usb cable? 3.is there any way to increase the internal memory of this phone?

  • hi everyone, it is a very good phone, by style and function. but it has a major problem, the ringtone and mp3 voloume is relatively low,even very low. my mom has this phone and the only way to make it ring loud is by editing the mp3's and boosting the volume on the computer and then sending it to the phone, otherwise its shame how it rings. one other thing, the blue-tooth speed is SLOW which is another minus! thanks

  • Its a great inexpensive phone which looks like its very expensive.The build quality is very good.The photos are good,mp3 is good.The only problem is memory. Also the screen saver is completely blank,is there any way to change it,u know maybe to show time date etc?

  • Please,does anyone know how to increase the internal memory without using a memory card. I heard about a site which does that but im not sure.e-mail me if u have the answer.thanks

  • n Sarah u could download the Software from lgmobile.com

  • just got it. have'nt tried all its features yet. For the price, its definately good. downsides- low screen pixel (yet quite good), no expandable memory (64mb enough for few like me), battery life towards the lower side (still would say average). Camera's pretty decent. Sound Quality Gr8. UI quite fast. PC to Phone transfer hassle free. have'nt tried Bluetooth yet but hoping to have no problem.

  • hi, i read in some magazine that you can increase sound by double on LG s5200 with "sound forge". if anyone know how plz, tell me.

  • When i bought this phone it was great and i still think it is, but i have one problem i've lost the cd to put pictures etc onto my comp and phone, so i was wondering if anyone could possibly email me and tell me the name of the cd that you get with the phone! Thanks

  • Hey Daniel, you only can put pictures in your contacts if the size of the photo is 48x48! It's a bit awful isn't it? And the installation of the CD does not work so I cannot put any pictures from PC to mobile phone and I have gone to the LG delegation and ask for my money back and they said that I should go to the mobile store I bought this LG, and so I did. But the mobile store said that I should go to the delegation because it's not their fault. Okay, I won't never buy an LG again.

  • sometimes screen blanks out and you don't see anything on screen though you can receive and make calls. looks like software problem.

  • hi...maby can help me...i don.t no what me doing my cd no good working or maby i don.t undestant how to put inside mp3 music...whritte error...maby bad cd or ...please writte about mp3 music how my self to put music in the lg s 5200. thank.s

  • Hello, I bought that phone but the installation of the CD does not work. What about your mobile phone? Does the installation of the CD work? Please response, it's really emergency.

  • I had this phone for five months. My first opinion was just great.But after I use it, it changed.Because the battery is awful. I takes only 1 or 1.5 days.Moreover I dont listen to music or take photos most of the times. Stand by time is not 200h,they should put one zero less.It is only 20h. Also I could not figure out how to assign pics to my phonebook. Is there anybody?

  • Very good phone. Low cost, high performance. But incomplete manual. Please tell me how to put pictures from camera in to phonebook. And can I upload java games without WAP?

  • What a awesome little handset!!! Not much can beat this handset for value and quality. Love it! Had mine for 6months now and still very happy and had not a single problem! If anything- an external memory slot would be a huge bonus to this great little handset.

  • Thanks in advanice!

  • Please somebady tell me how to put pictures from camera in to phonebook.My phone is S5200

  • heya... the lgs5200 is a great phone but i think i just got the wrong hand set... it tells me i have no reception... when i have... but no one else has had the same probalem so it must just be mine! so yeah, its great!!

  • Great fone great price value for money

  • The LG S5200 is Lush, the MP3 player is great although you can only store about 15 songs on it. Not too bad if you just want to listen to songs on the way to work etc. Camera and video really good, video has sound aswell. You are able to put pics and videos on your comp by simply putting the USB into phone and comp and they are under Media - Pictures - Videos. Phone is really east to text on and is a really cool design. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes the sound of it. xXx

  • was jus wondering, is the sound really bad? cos i wanna buy it, but if the souns bad, then im not gonna bother?

  • Thanks paparazzi but can you tell me how can i put a photo in the phonebook because one of my friends has the P7200 and she doesn't know how to put a photo in the phonebook!!!!??

  • Hi It been three months now using LG S5200. evry thing is working perfectly beside MMS. I activate them since I got a phone but I never be able to send and recieve them. and also battery it last 1 day.

  • This phone is existing calculator

  • It is quite good.The only thing that bothers me is that the sound of the Mp3 HASN"T god a louder option!The volume is pretty low even on the fifth step.Otherwise it's good.

  • i bought lg s5200 4 days ago...i think i made a good decision the camera is nice it plays mp3...and is cheaper about 100 CYP($120) than d500i and the only differences is that lg has no infrared,d500 has a bit bigger screen and that d500 has 22 mb more memory.the only bad about this phone is the battery but i dont think anyone of you will go around all day and take photos or videos so the battery will need recharge all time...the battery lasts 1.5 day if u use the camera etc.another good thing about this phone is that the battery charges as you have it on the usb cable...u can put or get things on the mobile while it charges!To connect ur mobile phone with ur pc just instal the lg usb DRIVER not the other programs cause are rubbish then just plug it and a new icon will be created in your my computer in there are 4 folders storage,my photos,mp3 and my videos, in mp3 put ur songs, in my photos dont put ur photos cause it wont appear on the mobile phone put them in storage(photos must be jpg) ,in storage u can put whatever u want and in my videos put ur videos (3gp). i hope i helped thnx

  • hi can anyone tell me how i put my photos onto my computer cos i dont have a clue and i would really like them on there! write back xx

  • Hello guys here in cyprus this phone is about 350 euros and i like it this phone very much but if you think that other mobiles have more than 64 mb and they are good in design, is more prefered to buy another mobile but the most mobiles don't play WMA so think it about that phone is great!!!

  • LG is wicked i tried everything camera mp3 bluetooth all features working perfectly i recommended even battery last 1day and a half its a good phone

  • I bought that phone yesterday. I like it very much. It has a great design...but I don't know how to set a picture to my contacts. Can somebody help me? :blush: PLease write me to my e-mail: [email protected]

  • Isn't this the phone contracted on Helio for $250 that is so advertised on Mysapce?

  • I really want to get this phone, but do you think its worth buying?

  • if i were you i wouldn't buy this phone, i've owned this phone for about 5 months and it's been the worst phone i ever spent my money on, the battery is rubbish i'm now charging it almost every day as when you use the video player or mp3 player it zaps the energy within like 10 minuets, after that it wont let you delete anything or take any pictures, also the predictive text is crap, if you wanna put you own words into the phone, it will delete them when you charge the battery!!! what's the point in that. overall this phone is not good, wont be getting any lg phones again even the new lg chocolate!!!

  • it will last 3 days on low usage. 1.5 days max if you use the multimedia functions. But good thing is you can charge it thrugh the accompanying USB Data Cable. - One thing to note is the battery indicator is inaccurate and sometimes drop to 1/4 bar and jump back to 3/4 etc...

  • I've been all over Europe and North Africa with this phone, taking over 800 photos. I have to say that in general this phone is really good, however there are 2 points i have to fault this great phone on, that is; 1. When i try to download ringtones from a company, the network settings dont work whenever i try to change them etc. 2. There is no way of downloading my photos to the computer, which is really annoying after having over 800 photos!!! If you have any idea on these or can help me, please post aa comment, thanks.

  • can someone plsss tell me if it is true that the battery life is short? and, exactly, how many days can u use the lg s5200 before charging it again??? i`m thinking of buying this phone and i really need to know! pls

  • i have this one, is a fantastic phone but the video recording have a problem: there are a desfase between audio and video when play recorded video 3gp... im expecting to get the new software version.

  • it is a very nice fone and i like it alot and im getting it for �110 quid which is pretty cheap for me but what accessories does in come in

  • Hello, I would like to know where you got the phone form, please?? And what accessories did you get with it?? Thankyou

  • OK, since no one replied, I just went and bought the phone :p to answer MY question, no, you cant use external sounds as message tones (sme happens with Samsung D500). and the picture quality is quite good also, better than I expected. I still have to take more pictures under different kinds of light. I use bluetooth to pass the photos to the computer, but you can use the USB cable supplied with the phone. bye

  • Hi, i've just been on holiday and i've taken many photos on this phone, does anyone know how to download them onto the computer? Post if you know thanks...

  • BTW can anyone post sample photos from the camera? whats the quality? thanks!

  • hadset is design is quite similar to samsung d500 but featurs are not same..where is the option of voice and call recorder?

  • Can anyone please tell me if this phone accepts customization of the message tones? ie: can I use midi or mp3 sounds as message tones? thanks!!

  • above all, i've been interested in its design and just bought it. many people indicates how long its battery lasts, but there is no problem if you wouldn't use multimedia functions the whole days.

  • This Phone is Excellent. This Phone is Booming in KOREA.

  • the battery lasts about 3 days on standby but wen u use it it lasts about a day so if u user it alot you'll have to charge it every night. And its availble in the carphone warehouse for �99.99

  • Yaltreet people, ive been considering buying this fone, i have been looking at many reviews, the only dwnside people have said is the battery life, how many hours do u get if u txt instead of phone, its mainly on stand by al the time anyways, jus bout 20 txts a day, nd roughly, if i out a bout 7 mp3 files on it, will there still be space for video clips nd photos? plz e-mail with an answer sum one

  • its not good. please change the color

  • please please please do not buy thid phone! do yourself a favour! this is what the phone is really like: sure the picture quality is good but it takes about 10 seconds 2 take the picture after pressing the button. Its slow, the memory is appauling!! and as for the battery life...OH MY GOD!!! it lasts about 3 hours before it goes off. do not buy this phone! xxx

  • All those who have bad-mouthed the S5200 needs to get a life!!!! I paid �99 (CPW) for mine yesterday but have used the phone a few weeks before buying it. It comes supplied with the USB cable and the software CD - the sound quality is good the phone's looks are g8. I have had about seven phones in the past few weeks all faulty or over-priced. The LG S500 is excellent value for money. If you want a bigger memory capacity for you music files buy a MP3 player! If you want a better camera - buy a digital camera! Keep things in perspective - for the price you pay this is an excellent. There are more important things in life than moaning on about a mobile phone.

  • owww :( im having difficulty puttin pics onto my comp will someone please explain to me how you do it? fankuuuu!!! xxx

  • can someone tell me how to put java games on this phone without having to pay for them, ive got like 300 java games on my comp and i want to put a couple on this phone using the usb cable, is this possible?

  • ive had this phone for a few weeks now and i think its great . the picture quality is great and its so easy to transfer photos and songs from the phone on to ur computer and vice versa. couldnt work out why i didnt have caller id but after reading these comments its helped me allot. re : the battery life is like any other phone - it totally depends on how much u use it . i use mine quite allot and i charge up my phonr every other day . very sleek phone. easy to use and looks nice too .

  • Bought S5200 despite some poor comments. For under 100 quid this phone is good value. Were talking bluetooth, 1.3 mp camera, video, 262k screen, ok smaller than d500 but enough for phone size, call quality is clean and crisp. Games a bit boring but downloads available. No mmc slot, but if you wanted a mp3 you would buy a higher spec phone anyway, saying that there is onboard memory enough for a cd or 2. I know the battery isnt wonderful compared to others but I still get 2.5-3 hours talk time. All in all a nice handset that looks the part and tries in all areas to please, most importantly for just under 100 quid. Ask for a demo before you buy, you will be pleasantly surprised and I am sure will buy one.

  • please send details of user manual

  • Hiya please will someone tell me if you can pu pictures onto your computer from this fone via the usb cable? thankyou xxxxxx

  • I have had this phone for three days and i LOVE it!!! It has excellent Mp3, Bluetooth, Camera (Unlimited Video and Pictures). FANTASTIC A* PHONE! No problems (battery life is the same on any other phone)

  • hi Jo Han, After i took the photo by 48x48, then shud I go to "edit the contact" to add it to the contact?

  • I have had this phone now for almost three months. It is GREAT and I would not change it for anything! Everything just work on it and it is easy to use... just read the manual. Only thing bad is the battery life. about 3 hours talk time and have to charge it every night but it is worth it!!! To save your pics with the contacts: First take the pic in 48X48 res then save the contact on the phone (Not the SIM) and add the pic to the contact. eezy peezy! Well done LG!

  • i just brought this phoen and im in love with it, its perfect, mp3,bluetooth,camera, video and of course all the obvious phone calls and messaging services, i think the battery life is fun.. mine keeps chanign one min it will be on the last one the next it will be full and i diidnt even charge it :D i only paid one hundred for mine rband new and i think its amazin... only thing is i cant work out how to put mp3 songs on coz i left the leafet at my friends house haha... xxx

  • how long does the battery last 4 and be serious!

  • hi i am frm india.bght s5200 one week back.am so impressed wth this mobile.it's excellent in all the aspects be it looks,mp3,camera.i am surprised why many people in this forum r for no reason bashing this mobile.the bad part is that it does not have fm.but the price at which it is available here makes it worth buying.so i recommend this mobile. wont regret.bye

  • I' ve had this phone a few days, and already i love it. Ignore all the bad comments because this phone is brilliant in every way. The only dissapointment is the battery life, which sadly isn't very good, but other than that i can't fault anything. I would recommend this phone to anyone wanting something different and stylish. It is better than most slide phones, and beats them in many ways technically. Buy it, you won't regret it!

  • Looks pretty similar to the Samsung Z320i

  • I've had this phone for 2 months now, and i love it, the camera is brilliant, I recently went to a concert, and I got some amazingly clear pictures and videos on it! Apart from the battery, I love this phone, it's a great design (and better then the samsung d500, because on the LG, the 'slide' operation is alot smoother)and it's brilliant as LG gives you a data cable to connect your phone to your computer, and the software, more then any other phone company!

  • their is nothink wrong with this phone. my m8s d500 hasn't got a lot of battery life. and what do you expect for something small and which has to work a 1.3 mega pixel camera a video flash and mp3. and has 64mb of memory! its a great phone which is working fine for me! give it a chance its a great little mobile

  • fantastic phone extremely good look slim design better priced. video recording without external memory slot upto 2 hours. for better battery back up keep your bluetooth searching off. nice phone

  • I had a 6 year old Nokia before the s5200 and there were better functions on it, like standard everyday ringtones, especially for messages, and I could hear it better. Currently, their WOW LG site doesn't even acknowledge this phone. Battery life is shorter than my old Nokia. Other features of the phone are fine so far, but why did LG bring out a reasonably high profile phone that doesn't perform the simple functions I mentioned? I feel as tho LG has stung me and probably won't buy again. But why do people here make so much criticism of its similarity with Samsung. Big deal!!

  • I was planning on buying this phone but I don't know now. From this forum Everybody is posting almost all negative opinions against the LG S5200. I think I will buy the Samsung Z140 instead. What do you guys think? Samsung Z140 or LG S5200.

  • I really un happy and dissapointed to buy this phone.i bought this phone few days ago.the battery life sooooo short. i cant edit photo to caller photo ID as well.PLS HELP!!!!!

  • well guys i 2 have the same phone(s5200) n i tryed to put a picture which i saved thrue the data line; but the phone kept on saying no pictures saved. i dont know Y trully.and the ringing tones!!they sucks.i felt like im in a stupid carnival.but thanks for the slipknot mp3. well! vote gos for 50/50.

  • i also have the s5200 and it's not that great, the problem wich get's me is when i add a word to the predictive text dictionary and save it, it says it's saved but after i charge it up i find that the word/words i enterd are not there any more, why cain't it just save it like it's supposed to!!!!! don't get this phone if you like things that work !

  • I hate this damn phone its the most anoying sack of untechnilogical crap i have ever whitnessed, it won't even let me change the damn ringtone, it's drivin' me mad i have had the same frigin' ringtone for the past 3 months , and to make matters worse its the same as my alarm clock so i never liked it in the first place, reminds me of having to get out of bed. If you are considering buying a this phone i would suggest also buying a lemon you'd probly get as much use out of that as you would this phone, so to be straight me + Lg S5200 = pain

  • where can I get a ringtone that sound like a phone ringing ?

  • hi all, i am holding a LG mobile and i believe that you would have to take picture using the 48 x 48 picture frame when in the camera mode. cheers

  • i wonder can some one plz explain in details how actually can we save the pic to da contact..?

  • LG S5200 is disgraceful, this phone is really crap to be honnest. I just bought 1 and it crashes all the time, never mind the battery life, i have to charge it like everyday or it just cuts out.

  • t68e whas the first phone with color display... not t68i...

  • rob, save your contacts to the phone memory and then you add your picture id to your contacts

  • Hi - anyone know how to put the time or a screen saver on the screen when it blacks out?

  • actually 'gary' the 1st ever colour fone was the ericsson t68i

  • HELP !!! Got LG S5200 and am trying to add a photo to a contact (person in phonebook). I go into CONTACTS, EDIT the person in question, go down to the bit where it says Picture and then it comes up 'Phonebook Picture Empty' !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I Have pictures on the phone but it doesn't pick them up - WHY ? Also, Battery life crap on this.

  • can i password protect my videos and pictures, if so how. how do set peoples pics 4 wen they ring me

  • it should also in CDMA with same facilities. So we can enjoy this phone in INDIA with Reliance CDMA Network.

  • To Diane Grewal You Asked where to get this for �150 Sim Free got mine at The Car Phone Warehouse But I wouldent bother gettin it it the worst phone on the market. Crap bat life Crap camera. Crap cheap feel. Had mine for about 3 weeks then gave it away. Got a D600 insted Now thats a Brill Phone. And at the mo it �199 on Orange Pay as you go at Phones4U

  • LG own samsung so its no copy... however i think the battery life is v.poor. i only make 4 x 10min calls a day(APPROX) and i have to charge it every night !!!!!and i dont use the mp3 player or games ,im sure it would die after 2 tracks any way ! compared to nokia's which are the only phones ive ever used i was sadly shocked...

  • Jim sorry - Your question How to put a photo to a contact - 1. go to contact 2. Edit 3. scroll down to image and attach picture (thats if you have the photo)

  • jim - go into the photo you want to send, look on the screen (left side) OPTIONS scroll down to send a message and there you have it. This phone is out to compete with D800 samsung phone a good 1, LG are still trying to improve there internal functions and they seem to be getting there. LG remember us businessmen need the currency converter to be simple (go back to the old way of converting currency) like your U8110 that was great. Over all your phones are great! ill stick with you as im on the 4th LG phone.

  • i would also like to know how to assign a photo to a contact.

  • Hi Guys This seems like a fab fone for the price! I've seen some of you (Darren I think) have stated that you can get hold of this for �150 sim free?! Could you please let me know where I can get it for that price? Many thanks for your help. Happy new year! Luv Diane

  • Does any one know how to assign a photo to a contact

  • just got mine even after all your banter about it being a copy of the d500 but its miles better..the screen is phenominal and the camera and sound quality rather good..i had a k700 before and im impressed with the lg and if i recall didnt u need some stupid external speaker on teh d500..this has it built in and pretty damn good too the qulity given the size of the speaker... the only thing that bugs me about this phone is the fact i dont know how to take the time and date off the front of the wallpaper anyone know how? (and thats only a tiny niggle btw) i also got it sim free �150 and its brilliant value!

  • I/ve had this phone for about 3 weeks now. It's not the worst phone i've had but it's not the best eather. The Bat is dire had ti charge it twice in one day And didnt use it that much. Only cost me �150 sim free though so it's worth it's money. There is much better out there...

  • Finally a bigger phonebook memory on LG's product! But what is it with the battery? only 2 hrs talktime? what a shame!

  • er.. i was going to buy this phone... but i need opinions from people who have this phone.. but you lot are too busy going on about the samsung d500.... so i think im just going to get a nice simple nokia.

  • It was Red,Green and Blue, Not yellow sorry,

  • You guys are funny going on about copys the 1st ever slide phone was released in 2000 maybe even lat 1999 it was by Siemens (SL10) And was alsot the 1st phone to have a colour screen. Although it was red,yellow and blue pixels. So if anyone of these "Slide Phones" are original designs its Siemens.

  • I don't know why people think this is an exact copy of Samsung's D500, If you see the model name, it's obvious that this is part of the 'S' series; you can see some similarities with the S5100. Turn S5200 upside down, the shape becomes S5100. Just because its a slider and its black doens't mean its a rip off. If you see the Korean market, companies have quite the same size with similar form factors. Plus, these days, phone specs and capabilities are pretty much similar among companies, which results to identical size. I think this is a great design and definitely different from Samsung's D500.

  • You can hardly call Samsung innovators in design. The D500 was a direct copy of the Siemens SL55. Check out the Samsung D730 - it's so obviously influenced by the Motorola V600, V620 and V635. Just look at the keypad! Weren't Motorola the first to do the flip? I do like Samsung & LG but they are the phone equivalent of a Lexus - a lookalike packed with features to make up for the lack of design originality.

  • I suggest if your like me (you like being blue-toothed mp3s, pics, etc.) then is suugestcyou search hard for the fone you want. this has evrything i need.. but the storage space is rubbish its about 20 full songs! thats total b.s

  • good but design looks like samsung D600

  • This phone IS almost identical to a D500. People on here are saying that it's better than a D500, that may be so, but if you think about it the D500 has been out for ages now and at that time it was released the D500 was the best. Now the D600 has been released with improved features which is 100 times better than this LG phone. If you have ever used an LG phone you would know that LG's and Samsung are very similar to use. I don't think this is a copy, but i do believe that the Samsungs are so much better.

  • Ok,so it's looks a bit like a samsung slider- and?Weren't siemens one of the first to pioneer the sliding form factor in the sl55,so samsung must have copied them huh?The same with the first clamshell phone,every manufacturer started churning them out,then the first camera phone,i could go on forever here,it's inevitable that other companies start bringing out phones that look and act like others...what's the bloody fuss about?

  • this is the best one i have seen so far but i am a bit confused does it take 3network sims

  • i think this phone is gr8, looks smart and has got good things on it, with a MP3 player, i think i mite just get this :)

  • This is real good phone guys. all specs of high end phone at very competetive price . this is first shot it seems from LG in pursuit of excellence to get in the top league. i am using this phone and very satisfed with its performance / features. This will be available in middle east shortly

  • NOW I HAVE THIS MOBILE BECAUSE I WORK in LGE,so not because iam there but that is true the most fantastic mobile i have seen in all my year of experience in this field

  • guys, it's a very common design in Korea! They don't consider this design as a copy.

  • I have a D500 Samsung and this LG phone, what can I say? LG phone is much better: the quality , the sound, the MP3 player, Bluetooth... every thing is better. Even if the shape is quite the same, the design is definetly different. LG design is smart!

  • yo guys, is this for real from the LG or they are just making fun of themselves. so many functions and so bad functions they are, to bad. now none will buy this peace of c... and it is so sh.... that is so dum and so much f... plastic was spend to make many peaces of it.m...f... dorks came with this stupid f... idea for nothing.

  • Specifications are much better than D, but design ... eah ...

  • has the site mistaken to have put a samsung mobile in LG slot???? Not a bad COPY i must say

  • emmm i work for lg and samsung is lg and sharp it loooks like there comeing out with copys

  • Every mobile "LG" release is a exact copy of SAMSUNG there designers must grow up an bring there own model so the others might copy them,

  • it looks nice and i dont really think it looks like samsungD500.. the functions looks fine to me. and the functions are nifty too..

  • What is the karaoke for?? Use the phone as a mic and sing?? It almost has the same spec and look as D500, so what's the point of waiting for this one? The D series look much better than this phone!!! Stop copying from other companies and be creative!!!!!

  • look its a d series copy fest i mean instead of waiting for this one go and buy a d600 this is a waste of waiting and money
