  • FOR LGU310 Can upload music or photos on bluetooth dongle (looks like a USB hard drive), or usb T flash (looks like a USB too and have space on the outher side where you can put micro SD )

  • Hi everyone. I have LG U310 about year And it is great :) *you have to know that phone is not comming with memo card and usb cabal and you have to bay it seperate,but when you bay it you wont have any regrets I bought just microsd and have had USB (Sd mini RS&4.0, Micro SD T flash) before that I am useing for my digital camera card and it was really easy to put my microsd in it and get on phone photos and music (I have about 40 photos and 80 mp3 songs on my phone right now, and I can put more)I am not useing radio in my car anymore.Because of two sreen I put my phone on lightsave metod. When phone is closed without handsets you can listen music but just from my sounds file...your "play list" . But when you open phone you can listen all music from your memo card (that I do in car, just put open phone in car holder hand and turn my music everyone to hear) - but there is option to listen all music from microSD on handsets when phone is closed) 1. turn handsets on 2. go menu-my staff-my memory card-my music-play. 3. than close phone and continue to listen all music like me :) I am really addicted on my little elegant black LG U310 :) -come on people you just need to bay microsd and there will be space for everything.- PS. sorry about my english :(

  • heyy.. i just got this phone a couple of days ago im loving it so far and ive had no problems .. its realy light weight and i can take it anywhere the only real downside i have seen is the lack of memoy .. i mean i could have at least gotten a memory card with it and the fact that i didnt get a usb cable .. i love my phone but i have one question for anyone out there who can answer me and that is how do i get my phone to play songs off my memory card while it is closed i can get it to play sngs saved on the internal memory but i have found no way of getting the songs on my memory card to play this way also .. if anyone can help me with this it would be much appreciated??

  • Does this fone have the 3 symbol on the front of the screen like the U8360??????

  • [Sarah said] basically this handset is only through Three "3". It works as a 3G UMTS 2100 handset but also works as a GSM 900/1800/1900 handset and offers GPRS as the internet signal when in that mode. These handset are firmware locked to work with "3" USIM's only. There is an international version of this handset that is the LG U3111 (similar but does not have the 3 firmware.

  • hi im about to buy this phone from hong kong, can someone please tell me if they have any screen shots? i really dont want a poor res screen. what to the earphones look like? are they good? you can email me on my gmail address if thats ok ... thanks! Sam

  • i'm surprised that this phone doesn't have a 2mp camera. among the other phones released at approx the same time (in Aus), this is the only non-2mp one!

  • can anybody tell me where I can find operating manuel in English for LG U310 model? Any link?

  • Hey, Can someone please tell me: 1.) What the sound is like. 2.) What the screen is like (in size). and 2.) What the memory is like. Thanks! x

  • I am a college student and was going to buy Motorola RAZR maxx V6 but I kinda like this phone also but I read few of the opinions and it seems like without the memory card, this phone doesn't really hold lot of pictures... =[ I'm not really big on MP3 but how many pictures can this phone hold WITHOUT the memory slot?? I don't really want to buy a sepearate memory card... please respond as soon as possible.. THANKS!!

  • This LG U310 Phone is International based and GSM Phone. ? Kindly answer me Quickly.

  • i just got this phone, and i have songs and pictures on my laptop. i am wodering, is there any way that i can transfer these files to my phone?

  • You can take pics when the phone is closed. Just press second button on the left, the "camera button" hard for a couple seconds and a screen should pop up showing you a camera or video camera option. If your front screen pops up just press it again. ps i LOVE the phoneee. Yeahhs :D

  • what network should i have my phone on? AUTOMATIC 3G ONLY 3G/GSM GSM1900

  • Having trouble with profiles. Thinks headset is inserted when it is not. Phone keeps turning self on and off.

  • ok i got this phone, but i have no idea how to take the memory card out of the phone (the lady who sold it to me put it in for me) can sumone tell me how to take out the memory card??

  • No, the memry card slot does not act as a USB Mass stortage device. Using the USB Cable (provided you can find one) or using Bluetooth dongle with the LG Sync software is timemwasting as its a very slow process to upload files to the microSD card slot via that method. Best off buying a Memorry Card reader that acts as a Mass Storage device the Windows will pick up as a removable drive. I use my spare mobile (which is the LG TU500) which makes the microSD card into a removable mass storge device and simply drag and drop filesd to and from Windows. Much faster since you can transfer at USB2.0 speeds.

  • Does anyone know if you can directly access the microSD from PC and store files to it via phone connected through USB? I've looked up the manual and it doesn't even mention anything about microSD. A simple yes/no answer will be really appreciated please asap ty

  • Im Ganna get this phone but now reading these comments i dont no about it How many pictures can u store on it

  • Well that wasn't very nice was it? Anyways, awesome phone, i love its screens, menu layout and keypad style. I have a beautiful white one that i love to bits. I got my Lg U310 it the first day it came out, and had it for a few months and still love it! You should buy it! Tata xx

  • hey trevor this poem is 4 u. shut ur f...ing face ass rooter!

  • hi, i was wondering if i got the microSD card are there any limitations on how that phone uses that memory? i'm thinking cause 10mb isent enough i will get a micro card but im not sure. if someone could tell me? Thanks. Pete

  • isnt the phone also available in pink?

  • just wondering before i get this phone does it have lots of memory? enough to have videos songs and pictures on it? please let me no sum1???

  • Can some one please tell me why with a dongle my phone will not send info to the computer, is there a certain type of dongle or software that i need as 3 dont give you much info Thanks Trevor

  • 10MB is not enough. That said best off getting a microSD card as the primary memory storage and use the 10MB for bluetooth, then save those bluetooth files into the microSD card. You just about save anything you want on the microSD card.

  • heyy um i havent got this phone yet but i am really looking at getting it.. i was fine with it at the start then i started to read these comments and now i am pretty unsure.. the main thing i am worried about now is the 10MB internal memory coz i was looking at putting heaps of songs on there;; i noe that i can get the microSD card but can someone plz plz plz tell me how long it would take for the 10MB to run out if i take lots of pikz and put about 3 songs on there?

  • Ok here are most of the answered you need for the LG U310. 1: USB Cable The LG USB Cable you need for this handset is the Product Code: SGDY-0011503 Basically this USB cable is the same one for the LG KG800 (GSM Chocolate Slider) If you can't be bothered trying to track down a USB Data Cable for this handset, Bluetooth dongle will work. I use the ASUS Bluetooth Dongle and it does everything including using the LG Internet kit to get wireless broadband modem connection going. Buy it from UMART (Austalian Computer supermarket - really cheap and good quality products) 2: The LG U310 will work with a Sandisk MicroSD 1GB memory card. Memory cards are pretty cheap now with 512MB MicroSD costing around $19.95 Australian $$$ 1GB MicroSD for $29.95 Australian $$$ 3: In order to get the front screen on more than 15 seconds, you can't in idle mode, only when you have the music playing (with or without ear phones) and when your playing video on the front screen (you need ear phones connected for front screen video playback) The LG U310 is data locked in terms of MMS, Access point and Browser profile (but not JAVA account profile). So even if you want to change the Browser profile to point to a different Planet 3 page like My 3 everythime you press the Planet 3 (top rightsoft key) button it will still load up the main Planet 3 HOME) page. The LG U310 is of course firmware locked to 3 networks only. That said, any world wide 3 USIM will work in this phone as its firmware locked to 3 networks. If you put i a non 3 USIM of course it will be SIM LOCKED. There is no bypass method around this as there was with the LG U880 that the end user and not an unlocker could do. I don't think the unlocking boxes like Furios Gold ect can unlock this handset just yet, but its being worked on. Just note: in the basic package it only comes wit the standard 800mAh slim line battery which will not do more than 2 days of real world use and will probably kill itself after 8 months like al LG slim line standard batteries do. Overall its a great cheap way to get into 3G at the Australian prepaid price of $229. Others? Only plays QCIF 176x144 15fps 3GPP video and of course QCIF MP4 Video with AMR audio. Audio wise it will play MP3 (even with 22.05khz sample rate which is great if you want to make the Mp3 a small as possiable without loosing audio quality, just encode at 128kbps which gives you 80kbps playback, so basicaly a 4MB MP3 at full rate will be 2MB at half rate) Overall, I'll give this LG U310 at 7.5 out of 10. Its not perfect but for the price its very good cheap entry point in into the world of 3G.

  • Regard to the Data cable. It doesn't come with the box BUT u can buy them vai order and there is a Bluetooth Dougle USB to support all model

  • to ivan the memory card is calles microSD and it would cost around $30aud for 1gb of memory so its

  • nice phone until we realised that although they provide pc sync software 3 do not provide a usb data cable, they dont offer a cable you can buy and the phone is not listed on the LG site so you dont know what cable to order!!!!!

  • i jst got da phone and da memory isnt very gd they should mayb give u morre 2 start of wif coz i dnt wanna buy a memory thing but everything else is prett gd but u cnt tske pictures when its closed and how much is da memory thing plzz tell me if u bought 1?

  • phone=good i guess

  • i have this phone in pink... it is pretty dam strong even tho it looks like it would break i dropped off the leathal weapon at movie world and altho it is a little scratched it still works fine... it is cool and all but i need a memory card coz at the moment it only holds 3 songs[if they r small] and like 8 pictures but other than that its great...

  • Hello i was thinking about buying the LG U310 and i was thinking insted of having a 3sim card can i put my optus sim card in it?

  • I want to get this phone but dont know if it's any good. I also wanted to know what the camera is like. Thanks.

  • I've got the phone ... just regarding the connectivity (to upload songs, etc). You need to get a bluetooth dongle (looks like a USB hard drive). You then need to go into the bluetooth menu on the phone and try to connect to your PC. Depending on the software that comes with your Bluetooth PC dongle you should be told what COM port the connection is ... which is required when you start the LG PC Synch software - go to the connection details and tell it to use BlueTooth (rather that the default of USB!) & the COM port to use. Hope that helps someone ...

  • anyone know what size memory card this phon supports?

  • i just recently got this phone and i like it, but the downfall is it dosent come with a USB and i would realy like to but songs on it.

  • Does anyone know how to extend the "text message alert" duration - it's cutting off my alert tune after about 4 seconds even tho the tune itse;f os about 15 seconds long.

  • does anyone know if you can get the front screen displaying permanently? and also did you know that these handsets arnt game compatible!

  • Doesn't let me load the information of names & address from my sim card which is used in another lg phone ,no usb cable .Very dissappointing .Give it big zero

  • hi there. I bought this phone just three weeks ago and I am pretty dissapointed with the reliability on this phone. The screens generally turn white or flash different colours which is a pain because you cant answer calls properly. umm, the features are great though such as the multimedia side of it, although this is hardly any space and cant hold many photos. It doesnt come with a memory card or a USB which is a bit of a downfall but if you just want this phone for contacting this phone then it is perfect. But it really isnt a reliable multimedia phone. from a customer...

  • can anyone say if its anyhting like the motorola V3x when it comes to applying a wallpaper because the V3x can only apply one wallpaper for both internal and external screens. can you apply seperate ones for this? also whats the video calling quality like.

  • u buy the usb cable from the three store u got it from all from a mobile phone store like allphones or etc i think

  • I bought the LGU310, and the packaging is pretty disappointing. No USB cable for my computer, but it did come with a CD. Which is pretty much useless, since you can't connect to the computer. Also, when other mobiles come with a external memory card, this one doesn't come with one. Only has the 12MB memory on the handset. But the design seems alright. Can someone alswer my question? How am I going to put songs on my phone without a USB cable? Where do I get the right one for my phone, if they don't give me one?

  • I am thinking of purchasing this phone, but was wondering if users of it can let me know if the outside screen shows anything when the phone is not in use, eg the time clock. Also when a message has come through, does it show up on the outside screen. I have been told that it doesn't show up - someone pls get back to me before i purchase. thanks

  • Does anyone know what the micro sd card capacity of this phone is? Can it take 2gb? I have looked everywhere but can't find the information. Can't even find the phone listed on the LG website!

  • Its basically a refined U880/U890 form factor LG handset. Also there is no USB cable in the Australian 3 prepaid/post paid package which is a bad effort from LG and Three Australia. The USB cable for u310 is the same one as the LG KG800 slider in case anyone is wondering. Its cheap on 3 prepaid at $259 AUD, but again this handset from LG has a lot of negatives against it like only 10MB internal memory, no USB cable in the retail package and the all pink colour looks shocking. Also no HSDPA X-Series, its only UMTS 384kbps ... Again the U880/U890 is a better handset if old in terms of design and function but I would still take the U880 and U890 over this U310 from LG.

  • This mobile is deffinatley in my want list!!

  • i have just brought one and it comes with nothing on the phone. theis are no pictures nothing

  • I actually haven't got an LGU310, but I will be getting one for my 21st, the white one to be exact, and yes it is as nice as it looks online :) The LG U310 is very lightweight, the colours are nice and the phone is able to fit in your hand. I want the phone I get to be good and not have a lot of stuff wrong with it, so I always come online and research first, thanks to the user who has one and says it's really good, that made it certain I'm getting one! :) Anuwaus if you're thinking about gettign this phone like me, I would as I said this phone is awesome!

  • Well, I've got LG U900, but i also had these problems with the instant viewer, in my case i turned it off by going to the menu, settings, screen, screen theme, home screen, and then the instant viewer was on, i turned it off, and that's it. I think it should be the same, because both phones ar LG's, so, it should be at the same place, i hope i helped you...

  • how do you remove all the chinese stuff on the main screen?

  • i love this phone .. both pictures and texts msg are good. camera pretty clear. light and plain. i am so in love with this phone. you guys should get this phone. worths every penny :)

  • has anyone used this phone on t-mobile? does the browser function properly? How about picture messaging and sms?

  • I have it. It has a plastic shell but quite strong, it is so thin and light I fear I will let it fall often. The color is pearl white (cameleon). Software is very fast.

  • this phone look like another phone also from LG, um, wonder if this phone also have "FM transmitter" like the other phone. Love to store music on phone and then transmitt the sound over car radio during trip here, ­

  • feature list is very short isnt it and what colour is that because i dont see white under colours maybe its chamelion what bollox.

  • That looks pretty weak yo!
