Poor charging and battery life.
on February 28, 2013
Posted by: Anonymous
Save yourself the time and frustration. Buy a better phone. Picture and speed are great, but the battery life is horrible. You basically have to keep it plugged into the computer or car to maintain a charge. We have 2 and problems began within 48 hours of owning the phones.
Pros: Performance
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Approaching 2 years

I am approaching the two year mark with this phone. For the price it has served its purpose well. For storage issues, I have switched to a cloud drive, for the battery issues I use the built in widget that turns off all running apps. After these minor adjustments, the phone has been great. There are times and certain apps where it out performs my husbands Iphone 4S purchased near the same time and has definitely surpassed the two bionics on our plan.
Pros: easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great price for the power

all and all after owning this phone for about a week im quite happy with this phone. and with a battery saving app the battery life isnt as bad as i was expecting tho still not great. the daily need to recharge so far has been my only complaint. i did have one lock up but after installing 50+ apps in a day not surprising no hang ups since tho. as i was writing this i thought about the camera and tho not a complaint i defiantly wish they had added some more or any at all stutter stabilization, i shake and when taking pictures it makes for a lot of "opps its blurry lets try that again" also poorer WiFi reception then i was expecting range wise speed wise if your on 4g or a fast wifi connection you cruise. now idk if i would recomend this phone for a first timer, being a techie i was surprised how long it took me to find some of the functions and settings i wanted but if your patients this is a unbelievable phone for the price
so short recap
mediocre battery life
slightly above average camera
good call quality
slightly below average WiFi antennae
fast OS response
great graphics

Battery life improved with Android updates
on February 16, 2013

I've had this phone for several months. At first, the battery life was terrible, as many other reviews have noted. But the newer Android versions (I'm currently using 4.0.4) seem to have fixed the problem almost completely. I still charge the phone each night, but I think that's typical for most smart phones, and if I were to skip a night, I'd still have enough battery life for at least part of the next day. So for the most part, this phone is fine for me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good phone for the money

Very nice phone, great weight and size..Touchscreen is nice with excellent visability. Only problem I have is that there is no LED light for notifications. Nice to have when the screen is off and you may want to install Light Flow app.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice product, TERRIBLE battery life!!!

Love the features of this phone. But the battery barely lasts until noon. We just switched from a different smart phone and the battery would last all day long. With this phone, going to the same places and doing the same things, it is drained in 4 hours.
Pros: Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Confused and Spiteful
on February 14, 2014

I have had this phone for a little over a year and a half and have been having issues with it for the last several months. Not a single day goes by without it completely freezing up during the simplest tasks, forcing me to restart it. However, it doesn't just require a simple restart - no, I usually end up having to actually remove and replace the battery. I have to do this because if I just try a simple restart, the phone will hover on the LG turn-on screen forever. Seriously, I've timed it - I got impatient after waiting over 20 minutes with it hovering in limbo, plus it drains the battery more than any app I've ever used. It gets especially cranky when it's trying to update the apps, and for the life of me I cannot find a way to prevent it from doing these updates automatically, even after opting for manual updates on my apps.
I get missed texts and missed calls almost as much as I actually receive them, as well as calls and texts not ever getting successfully sent from my end. And I sincerely believe that this has absolutely nothing to do with service availability - it just either just doesn't notify me that a call is coming in, resulting in a missed call notification with no record of it ever ringing, or it just never comes in despite it being shown as sent on the senders' phones.
If a day goes by where I haven't had to talk myself down from throwing this phone against a brick/stone/concrete wall, running it over with my car, dropping it off my balcony, or drowning it in the toilet, it's been a very good and very rare day.
One thing I will credit to this phone: durability. I have dropped it countless times, both accidentally and "accidentally," with only a clear screen protector on it and it doesn't even have the slightest crack on it. Which is great, except that I have the date for when I can get a new phone circled on my calendar and I would love have a reason make that sooner. It's probably only so durable just to mock me.
I doubt I will ever purchase another LG phone after having to deal with this one. Which is a shame, because I really don't know whether it's an LG issue or a general Android issue (though I do have an Android tablet and have had no such problems with it) or even just isolated to a Lucid issue, but I'm not taking any chances.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
