LG Thrive P506 - User Reviews

  • How can i update to 2.3 Version. Lg-p506go. Plze answer to my question

  • How can i update to 2.3 Version

  • I would like to know how to upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 or higher on this phone ... does anyone have/know the instructions on how to do this? You can email me at: texasjim75 at gmail dot com! Thanks

  • u can charge it up to 5hrs

  • Does This phone get problems from old age? Like if i got one second hand will it still be okay?

  • I absolutely loved this phone when I had it, I was very sad when it broke. Despite the 600mhz processor, this cell could compete with my friend's 800MHz Motorola Bravo. Any smartphone-newbie needs to look into buying this phone, or one of its duplicates based on his/her network (like the Optimus S for Sprint users or someone on CDMA Network)!

  • can i update my version from 2.2 to 4.1----jellybean pls reply to my Qstn

  • how do I upgrade to a higher vision

  • Thrive is limited to 2.2.

  • Yes, you can install skype. But there is no front-facing cam. So voice and chat only.

  • Can I install Skype on this phone?

  • How can I download file manager to open my software.

  • can the lg thrive b connected in central america

  • how long do i have to charge my LG thrive to be full

  • Mine hasn't given any problems yet. But I can't figure how to share my music and videofiles via bluetooth. I'm able to share pictures anyway.

  • can lg thrive be ugdated to android 2.3 or higher versions...

  • This phone certainly does have GPS. I use it all the time. I don't know why you say it doesn't. You are very wrong. The navigation app is factory loaded and so is the on/off button for the GPS.

  • Ebay for 100 refurbished or bestbuy o att for pay as you go for 140

  • from where the phone can be ordered.plz smone help me

  • from where i can order this phone and how? Plz smone help me

  • from where i can order this phone and how? Plz smone help me

  • a good fone.....its good that it provides u more features at a less price.....

  • to tether ur device as a hot spot dail 3845#*506# and search for connective test and deactivate the entitlement then go back and setup ur hotspot

  • The lg thrive is a good phone for the money, it does most of what expensive androids do, albiet slowely.the speaker and battery life is beyter than a samsung I trefd. Just put your att go phone, 3G sim card in ans you're good to go. I loved this phone for a couple of months then it began to malfunction. First space bar wouldn't stop spacing, then it couldn't always locate my sd card, one day it went into head phone mode by itself.

  • any body have this in india

  • I love it!!! Its kinda like the iphone because the on off button can be used to put the black screen on.

  • lg thrive is a good phone jux dat am having problems with the tethering

  • hey i've ordered this phone!! i want to ask whether this phone will work with my existing non data plan sim card or do you need to have something specific?? please answer my question someone!!!!!!

  • It has GPS you need to disable the use of Wifi for location and enable the GPS. It's simple.

  • Mine has GPS. BTW you can turn it on and off so look for that setting maybe it's there. An odd thing it does with the star map app is the map gets jittery when pointed north but stable while pointing south. I don't know if it's using a compass or GPS or combination. There's some settings for the program and I'll look at them later but still the jittery thing is annoying.

  • yes

  • am enjoying the fone soo badly,its gud get one and try it

  • This phone does NOT have GPS. No idea why all these online sites are claiming it does. I own one and it does NOT have GPS. YOU must be next to a WIFI for it to determine your location which is dumb if you are lost on the highway.

  • It is better to have optimus Net than this.

  • If you have a prepaid phone, you can only used the purchased data plan not the one that comes with the $50 a month rate plan

  • radio shaq

  • could i put my current sim card that does not have a data plan in the phone and still text? and even though i dont have the data package, could i still use the wifi?

  • Awesome phone! It has great apps and you can download as many as needed from the Android Market. I give this phone an A+!

  • I had a galaxy s and broke the screen so I'm "renting" this phone from best buy. Tiny screen. No internal hard drive. 2 gig SD card. Only thing going for it is that it has froyo. Yea And don't use the default LG keyboard because it is horrendous! Waiting on galaxy s2...

  • where i can get LG phone in Malaysia?

  • very cheap phone.......with all features those i use so grab it friends.............

  • if all the info is correct ,., then this handset is ossam .,

  • looking good ...........should i buy it or not?????

  • how abt touch experiance of ths phone?????????

  • Hw much fr dis phone???????????????????????????????????????????­?????????????

  • verry good phone

  • This phone is the best i have ever had! Its worth every penny. At first i thought it was going to be a laggy touchscreen considering its a GoPhone but it seemed to prove me wrong. I recommend this phone for anybody!

  • hi.........it's good mobile......i m useing....

  • wow.... best phone! i missed it ...... god help me to change my phone, plz

  • Wow ....this is the best phone I have ever used ! A phone worth using and the price is so cheap...

  • Can we use sim-card of other service provider in this phone without unlocking it? (Like Airtel, DOCOMO etc) Or, dose we have to unlock the phone for using other sim-card? If we have to unlock then, dose unlocking the phone hampers warranty?

  • U're obsessed by ur own succesful Optimus One LG.

  • nice phone hope price $150 so can kill galaxy mini market :)

  • i would say - bring 3,5'' WVGA SLCD screen, slightly faster CPU and sell it in price just 5% over samsung galaxy gio and it would be bestseller

  • among its pricing category it has a very good design.

  • The Difference between the LG Thrive and the LG Phoenix is the Phoenix has Mobile Hotspot and Data Tethering Enabled while the Thrive has those features disabled or just not there.

  • Why bring out 2 versions of an at&t (telstra nextg) compatible optimus one. It just seems pointless.

  • if u want to win against samsung so u must give unique fetures and make a lot of color option make use big box for smart phone plz......coprate

  • Its a prepaid phone what do you expect

  • I really don't like its design. Just like PDA 5 years ago. What's on LG's mind?

  • As this mobile is still not launched but as per the specification this mobile is looking best to buy but i am more concern about the Price...as mentioned that this will be launch on 17th April so waiting for this mobile price to declare...

  • neat phone... however pricing is important !!!!!
