  • To bypass the page, press volume up, volume down, home and back. For more information go to google and search how to bypass activation on LG VS 920. U can whatch it on youtube

  • I was trying to reset my LG Verizon vs920 4g lte and it wouldn't reset. So o ended up hard resetting it After that it's always at the language selection aide and reads "waiting for activation". It never leaves that page, but the phone works perfectly. Please how do I bypass that message and continue enjoying my phone. I need your help. Thanks.

  • that de lg uses GSM i hv one is showing no signal n searching no service

  • I think you need to check your eyesight. Despite the specs, it's extremely laggy and and LG's UI is horrible compared to Motorola...

  • I've got to tell you, this is the best phone I've ever owned. LG has upgraded the OS to Android 4.0.4 The graphics are awesome, the battery life could be better, but its sufficient. The HD display is very good for movies, and I've got better eyesight that anyone you'll ever meet, so I can see the differences. The GPS works very well with the Copilot mapping software, which requires no internet connection so it doesn't burn up your data. The 4G LTE speeds can be off the chart. I was in Fargo, ND, did a speed test and got 48mbps download, and 24 mbps upload. I routinely get download speeds of 20 to 24mbps using the Wi-Fi hotspot to my laptop and Ipad. For a two year old phone, I couldn't be happier. I wish LG would take this phone, upgrade the CPU, memory, battery, and release it as the Spectrum 3. A quad core processer with 16gigs of internal memory, and a 128 gig SD card could replace my Ipad. A bigger display would be nice as long as they don't reduce the resolution. 5.5 inches like the new IPhone 6 plus would give Apple and Samsung a run for there money.

  • Love this phone trade in my 4s for it best phone ive had yet

  • Frankie, yes this is a CDMA phone, but it also has respectable LTE speeds (as noted above). The phone is sturdy and quick enough for casual use as long as the on-board storage isn't crammed full. I highly recommend an SD card. As for software, the Verizon version (not sure if there's another) is currently: -OS: Android 4.0.4 -Firmware: VS92OZV9 -Kernel: 3.0.8-perf (lge@android-buld#1) The official website for the Verizon version is: www.verizonwireless.com/spectrumsupport

  • its only a cdma phone works on cricket or verizon

  • How it's work.When android 4.1.2 is upgrad on it...???

  • How it's work when android 4.1.2 is upgrade on this phone...???

  • can someone tell me is this phone works with MTS CDMA Network in Karnataka india...please reply i want to buy this phone..

  • The price is almost 700 but free with a new 2yr contract. Hope that helps.

  • Great phone very user friendly great specs, my only complaint is the battery life can be a lot better but i ordered an extended OEM battery from Ebay that spits out 3000 mAh and problem solved, charging port can be tricky if frequently used daily just make sure you plug/unplug slowly and gently and it will last you longer theres no need to shove the chord into the charger dock nor no need to snatch it out quickly, be gentle!

  • Great. phone have dropped a few times an still running like a Champ . an ffolks if u plug trouble try different plug mine is lose but, I haven't had any issues.

  • Has someone helped u yet?

  • had this spectrum phone for 8 months it'll quit charging, the charging port in the phone becomes loose after so many uses.

  • I have been using this phone for almost 1 year. CONS: Yes I concur with another user: when I hit the number 1 on the keypad the screen goes to black--beyond irritating,as I cannot enter my voicemail password ;no solution from Verizon tech. The battery is TERRIBLE--only get 4 -5 hours at a time; every time I ask Verizon for an extended battery they say they are out. Voice quality not great. LG please listen and improve because the screen size and graphics are great. Would I buy again? Doubt it--but my husband has an iphone and I prefer this phone to that.

  • How to unlock this to use outside of us. Mine is left for already 20 days. Awesome phone with good features. i love it.Can someone call verizon for unlocking code on behalf of me. Plz reply.

  • I just got one for $19.99 with my new every two upgrade. I love it!

  • Had mine for three months, it is nice and fast but battery does not last half a day and the mic/talking quality is horrible. These companies are forgetting the main detail when they design phones these days. Do not recommend.

  • i love lg phones and would like to buy the lg spectrum.can someone tell me its price please?

  • 100.00$

  • This mobile I'll Purchase...buy or not..? rply plz...

  • plz some1 tell me vt iz d real price of lg spectrum i want 2 buy this cell but i didn't knw the real price of lg spectrum Can some1 knw d real price?

  • fyi - it says 326 ppi right on the apple website.

  • I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and I love this device. Screen is huge and looks amazing, i do a lot of browsing on my device and this is a big step up from my old incredible 2. Battery life is pretty bad but i have chargers everywhere i go so its not a deal breaker for me. I don't have the issue of losing 4G signal like others have stated and the speeds are very fast.

  • I hate this phone. It does not allow me to use the number pad. It flickers on and off when using the keypad. Did the factory reset and now people can not understand when talking on the phone. Wish I had bought something else. I am stuck with this phone. Only purchased it in April and can't afford to buy a new one. Should have went with the galaxy nexxus or iPhone. Customer support is useless. They want to send me a used phone.

  • Just to clear the iphone spectrum problem , i have the optimus 3D and it has a 4.3inch screen with 480x800 resolution with ppi of 217 , and its crystal clear , the problem is i find the screen to small , (i watch alot of anime on my phone) , so iphone guys have no bragging rights in my opinion , that screen is just to small , and its like my TVs , both lcd flatscreens one is 32inch 720x1280 , other is 46inch 1080x2??? (Full HD) but the 32inch looks better even though its not as good , but with the phones the spectrum is both bigger and has almost the same quality 326(LG) vs 330(apple) but it generally better and bigger=better and the speed of the 1.5ghz dual s4 A15 snapdragon , vs iphones weak a9 dual 1.0ghz and lack of memory card slot , im not siding just pointing out the obvious

  • i just got mine today, it is awesome, pic is vivid , best ever got, big screen , fast cpu , good pricing , it is a steel:]]

  • It is over for it. 4X HD takes over. Look in the bargain bin, or for second hand set. Robert Lichota

  • Horrible phone... I would have to agree. Battery life sucks, the phone cuts off every other time I toggle on/off the Bluetooth. Also hot to the ear after long talks. Replaced twice at store and I rue the day I replaced an iPhone for this piece of CRAP. DO NOT GET.......... 4G works half of the time.

  • This phone SUCKS!!! Can't connect to internet half the time, battery life is TERRIBLE, doesn't send or receive texts part of the time, and now - - i can't hear people on the other end of the phone. Verizon won't do anything about it because we've had it 3 months. It SUCKS!!!!

  • Battery life stinks

  • the iphone 4s does not have a 330 ppi it has a 326 ppi like the spectrum.apple adds on more for it to sound better.android vs. apple easy choice...android

  • why did u shock that much? :D LG lately was using IPS displays a lot actually..started with 2x, then optimus black, 3D and so on :)and they are all quiet impressive btw!

  • wrong..iphone 4s screen has 330 ppi..and spectrum has 326..but I still prefer LG, that's another story :D

  • wrong the spectrum has 329 ppi the iphone 326

  • How Can the specifications of the 'Optimus Sketch(= Optimus Note)' model?

  • proboly bacause when this phone went iinto production ICS build wasnt released yet, now the software designers are building a ICS build for the phone so its functional u would want a faulty operating system

  • Getting my delivered Thursday

  • Love my new spectrum!! Highly reccommend you get one. :)

  • Just bought mine the other day! The display on this phone is awesome! Definitly better than the Razr! Colors are more vibrant and realistic and sharper images! UI take a little getting use to but it was not a deal breaker for me! Overall LG put out a nice phone!

  • hi wats the xact price of it?plz tell me.............

  • Actually the spectrum. has 329 ppi and the iphone 4s has 326.

  • Both wrong. iPhone has 326 ppi with the smaller screen and resolution, and LG Spectrum has 329 ppi with the bigger screen and bigger resolution. = Better

  • Best display quality with corning gorilla glass. Everything is excellent in this device. But it is a CDMA phone so it can't be use with gsm networks.

  • Great looking phone. Im deffinatley getting it! Nice big display. Oh, and about this device not having Ice Cream Sandwich, LG announced that there will be an update for the phone mid 2012 for ICS :)

  • I was thinking the same thing iPhone is way different why not compare with skyrocket HD or Nexus , just my 2c

  • I was thinking the same thing iPhone is way different why not compare with skyrocket HD or Nexus

  • wow ips display

  • No, the Galaxy S2 was first released in Europe.

  • Yeah, like the Samsung Galaxy S 2

  • It's funny that the high-end devices comes first to America.

  • My friend i think you are an apple fanboy But when we go to multimedia bigger scree and more screen resolution really matters And if we talk that apple is best in ppi case then i not agree as optimus lte have same screen resolution and less screen size

  • why people always compare other phone with IPHONE????????!!! fyi, apple "retina" is MADE MY LG a.k.a IPS display. 3.5 inch with 960x540 resolution that make the display very crisp (indeed, it's only 3.5" wide) LG spectrum has newest IPS tech with 720p resolution. minus 4 pixel per inch a bet you can't see the difference.

  • Why does LG keeps low end platform of android; why not use Ice Cream Sandwich? Is there some problem against Google and LG? (I've just thought of it)

  • Do you know how do compare ppi? if you want to post ppi compare, read about it first before you post to here! don't let other peoples though u as iFan noob! You need to compare screen size first! Your iPhone 4s only have 3.5" screen with (640 x 960 pixels 330ppi) and LG Spectrum have 4.5" with (720 x 1280 pixels 326ppi) decide yourself which one better! Cheer!!!

  • Iphone 4s Has 330ppi and Lg Has 326ppi

  • brilliant display best in class

  • Firstly....its a Nice and Very powerful Phone !
