LG KG800 Chocolate – review
I’ve been using the LG KG800 Chocolate for over 8 weeks now, and I have never ever had a phone that people seem to be so interested in. It simply looks stunning with it’s glossy black finish and touchpad with the cool glowing red symbols. Here’s my full review of the LG KG800 Chocolate.
Inside the (nice) box you’ll find a small bag for the phone, a small phone cleaner, battery, instruction books, charger, head set with remote, USB cable, CD with some software and earplugs. One really good thing with the head set is that you can plug in any 3.5 mm headphone. Everything is black and glossy and looks great. Getting the SIM-card and battery in place is done in a few seconds, and you’re soon ready to start using the phone.
When you boot up the phone you get to hear a small intro theme song (only 1-2 seconds) and a short LG animation. After another second the touchpad gets lit (cool!).
As a phone the LG KG800 Chocolate is really good. You can easily transfer your address book from and to the SIM card, it’s also very straight forward to create groups and add new contacts. Very good – nothing to complain about here. Sound quality is also excellent and all phone book functionality is easy to understand and to use.
Usually when I get a new phone I try to learn the phone by simply start using it. That’s usually no problem but the LG KG800 Chocolate would have benefited from a few more weeks in the usability lab. It’s not really bad – but you actually have to learn how to cancel menus, how to quit the web browser etc. After a couple of days you can navigate through all menus easily – but my point is that you have to learn a few tricks through the manual (or by trial and error) before everything is fluent.
The LG KG800 Chocolate has a built-in 1.3 megapixel camera which is capable of taking pictures with a maximum resolution of 1280×960. The first thing you notice when you enter the camera mode and take your first picture is that the camera is quite slow to use. You have to hold the camera very steady for a couple of seconds to be sure that your picture ain’t just a blurry mess. The LG KG800 Chocolate is quite good in night mode thanks to a small built-in light and low noise level.
Here you can see a couple of examples from the camera, and they simply can’t be compared to even the simplest regular digital cameras but under good conditions the quality is ok. But as I said earlier it takes quite a long time before you can take a picture (around 10 seconds).
All three example photo are shot with the highest 1.3 megapixel resolution:
Example photo 1
Example photo 2
Example photo 3
The music player in the LG KG800 Chocolate looks great at a quicklook; several different equalizer modes, random play, different skinsetc. But since the phone doesn’t support any form of memory card youare stuck with a total storage of 128Mb, which basically means that you can store approximately 25 songs.
Most of the MP3-files in my music collection are stored using the variable bit rate codec, and that one isn’t supported by the LG KG800Chocolate so I had to convert the songs to constant bit rate before I could play them in the phone.
Sound quality is good but since the total storage is low, you can’t do playlists and it doesn’t support ID3-tags I wouldn’t say that the music part of the phone is anything to cheer. Unless you just want to carry around 20-25 of your favorite songs.
The included browser is very basic and can browse pages that aren’t that complex. You can store bookmarks and choose how to handle cookies and cache. Most of the time I used the Opera Mini – a java based browser which is way better.
Here’s where the LG KG800 Chocolate really shines. It’s quite simplyone of the most beautiful phones ever made and even after 8-9 weeksheavy use the phone looks like brand new – great scratch freematerial. Apple! listen and learn, hehe). The touch panel takes acouple of days before it feels natural and you’ll probably end upcalling some of your friends by mistake before you get the hang of it.But the LG KG800 Chocolate is beautiful and will get you attention ifthat’s what you’re looking for.
If you’re looking for a stylish, beautiful phone and your primarilyinterested in having the phone to call your friends with, rather thanplaying music or taking beautiful photos – this one is definitelyworth looking into. It’s hard to find a phone with better looks.
If I have to choose a couple of things I would like to see fixed I would choose:
* 3G-compability
* Higher resolution on screen
* Memory card support
* Improve usability & menus

The black of the GUI is so beautiful !
August 2nd, 2006 09:54
That is the worst phone I have ever seen. its so ugly!! The keypad looks like an afterthought, the buttons without edges are horrible to use and its ugly. UGLY UGLY UGLY
August 2nd, 2006 15:18
Buzzmarketing or? You got the phone for free? Or?
Is this an productplacement or an actual review?
August 2nd, 2006 15:26
Pickupjobo, yes, the black gui is awesome.
Bengt, this is of course an actual review.
August 2nd, 2006 16:29
Good to know. Since i actually has harder and harder to take reviews serious since Buzzmarketing entered the arena…
I can take ads and directed ads i think is good. But i draw the line definitly at product placement where people that are supposed to be neutral actual is paid of by the companies either directly or through buzzmarketing firms…
Honesty is the best…now i am much more aware that people are bought of…
August 2nd, 2006 16:48
Phone: ok
usability: just ok but not intutive
Camera: slow (10 sec to take a pic??)
MP3: Crap (1. only 128M ram, 2nd you need to convert the songs to constant bit rate)
Where’s the hype? Author is saying that phone part is good, camera and MP3 is less than OK. I won’t buy after this review!!

only one thing sits very uncomfortably with me, which is something someone would/should have thought about somewhere along the design process. if you are going to go along with the anology of chocolate why was the phone not made a glossy chocolate brown instead of black. it just seems so very obvious. nothing about this phone intuitively communicates “chocolate” to me.
August 3rd, 2006 06:05
This phone is awesome.
Commercial-low quality chocolate is brown. High-profile chocolate looks more black than brown.
August 4th, 2006 01:13
exactly, looks more black but still brown. mass-marketed products in a commercial market cater to the least common denominator not an elitist few. it is still a well designed phone.
August 9th, 2006 14:02
chocolate as in smooth as chocolate more than the color-wise i think.
the phone is beautiful! i just purchased it yesterday and having a blast exploring all the features in it.
August 9th, 2006 21:24
The name “chocolate” came about because when the phone was originally released in Korea, the keypad had a chocolate scent.
August 10th, 2006 02:02

I have had this phone for about two months now and the two things that I am not too keen on are the lack of a snooze button for the alarm and the relatively poor battery length. It is a good phone though and I would recommend it
August 22nd, 2006 21:11
I just got Chocolate on Friday and something must have changed about the phone since everyone else here had it/commented.
The battery life is great, I have a media card for extra memory (holds 200+ songs and transfers media files), there IS a snooze for the alarm (I’ve used it!), I’ve had no problems with the camera and it definitely hasn’t taken me 10 seconds to take a picture, the red-lit key pad looks very different from these pictures, and the screen menu/icons are so much easier to use.
If anyone is debating whether or not to get this phone, please do not listen to all the complaints. It’s the slickest LG and Verizon phone I’ve ever had! And I’ve been a Verizon customer for almost seven years!

I was hesitant when buying this phone because of all the hype. However, this phone rocks! All of the worst things that you have read so far are so small and easy to get over. Sounds great and the screen is crystal clear! Nevermind how sweet the phone looks itself. All eyes WILL be on your new chocolate. Great buy even after six weeks!

I bought the choclate 2 weeks ago, what is the pin 2 and how do you get photos into the phonebook and where is the phonebook
October 26th, 2006 15:48
I have had this phone for a month and it is literally the worst phone I have ever had. The face scratches within a day, texting is a nightmare with it. The touch keys are over sensitive and too close together, the battery life is very very low, little MP3 space, the slider feels flmisy and mine is already wobbling. It’s also very easy to press the end call button as it is on the side of the phone, reception is poor, few devices recognise it with bluetooth and when you set an alarm on it, you can’t turn the phone off as it wont turn on to wake you. 2 of my friends have the same phone, one has already sold his and the otehr is on e-bay selling his. Avoid this at all costs, utter crap.

They have totally changed the chocolate all the complaints this guy had have been pretty much taken care of except for the camera. But it’s on a phone so quit thinking it’s going to be a great camera. Songs changing to wma, quit whining people, its not that hard to do waaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But you can put a memory card in it now and the keys look great. The whole phone looks great, and if you don’t like the style you can bite it!!!!!!!!

November 28th, 2006 16:04
I have had my Chocolate for about 6 weeks and have already had multiple issues.
1. I can only spend so much time in any part of my phone before it goes “CRAZY”. What happens is the phone will jump around to other settings. Ex: I am ATTEMPTING TO TEXT and it will go to the phonebook and jump back to the text screen and it will not stop! Texting from my phone is almost impossible! It does the same thing while I am attempting to take pictures the phone will jump around as if I am manually scrolling through the phone. I have not found a solution to this problem as soon as I do I will post it.
2. The antenna is very poor
3. The number keypad does not light up.
Other than that I Love the phone looks great sounds great. However, it seems to have some major issues. From looking at the other reviews looks like I bought a lemon. If someone has a solution please let me know.
Thank You!.

December 15th, 2006 17:46
if the power saver mode is set to off and the keypad lights still dont work, it is most likly you have drop the phone from a little too high or someone has for you. to check if this is the case you can slide the phone open and between 5 6 2 and 3 keys push down not to hard but fairly firm
if the keys light up you now know whats wrong.
make sure you push down right in the middle of those four keys, my guess is that is where the conn for the lights to power are.
December 16th, 2006 15:01

from the one above i meant how to put it on my phone from the pc
January 4th, 2007 04:39
everybody keeps thinking this phone is an MP3 phone the mp3 feature is just an addition and its not a digital camera but it still has camera capability if you want to take a nice picture get a camera if you want lots of music get an ipod its only a phone and its not very expensive so it great for the price so this phone is great
January 4th, 2007 18:00
heya ppl can u put the fone on silent so i can have it swiched on at skool? x
pleez sum1 tel me if it duz cuz i rli want it but ppl say its bad then its gud
apparently da battery is bad is this true?
January 4th, 2007 18:07
whoever wants to know how 2 put music on then listen up. plug the usb in the computer then there should be a popup. get the song u want then left click then ‘add to sync list’ then syncronise it then it shud be done. if there are any problems let me no on here.
January 4th, 2007 20:46
as ive been reading people comments ive noticed that there are several cases where the keypad lights do not work… and it has happened to me aswell. I do love the phone but this seems to be a mojor issue so i suggest you get them repaired of demand refund on amount of manufacture faults!!
January 5th, 2007 01:11
hi guys, severiano- you fiddle with the sound settings untill it gets to silent or just turn it off in lessons and on at break! id tell you exactly if i could, but im out of battery. and tammy, connect via blutooth and send music
I just want to say that this is a great site and i completely agree with everything they say!
This phone is amazing but problems occour easily!my friend Nicole went through 35 in 2 months! (evan tho sum of the time it was becase the screen was scratched!)

dis phone is shit
sure when yu first get it, it seems great, but i got it in pink and it gets scratched so easily, chipped screen after 2 days and i didnt even handle it without care! the mp3 speakers break and come out so the music plays really loudly- embarassing.. and it freezes, randomly deletes pictures and genually ruins any quick useage of the phone. its crap and not worth the money at all.

This is the worst phone ever, I rushed off to buy it without checking the review, it is beautiful to the eye, but has the worst functionality ever. Here are a few
Alarm does not go off if the phone is switched off,
It does not have a loudspeaker function
The camera is slow
Reception is low regardless of network
No memory card slot
No FM radio
No airplane mode
Slow and inconvenient camera interface
No MP3 playlist and ID3 tag support

bullshit!!!!..this fone is amazing and this fone is crap..the camera is slow and fast..the keypad have half lites half not..the music works well but only on one speaker not 2…if the top breaks off as it is flimsy u could still be able to use it..
February 24th, 2007 09:16
I went from the KG320 to this Chocolate… and both phone are identical. Menu/capability wise that is…
Beautiful is the only thing on this phone to me…
Else… LG makes bad phones. Best design to LG means good looking, period. I though a “phone design” also included how the menu looks/work and it’s capability. The menus are ok… typing text sucks, because it seems slow to respond… this phone’s mp3 player capability is worst than the worst stand alone mp3 player… 128MB only? and shared memory too? WTF? nuff said… now watch this…

I just got this phone, it’s very cool! and i can answer at least one question on this site!
I had some trouble putting mp3’s onto the phone, but it turns out you can’t put music that you’ve bought from the itunes store onto the phone because you can’t convert it to the “simpler” format (because they’re protected)… but you can use CD music and *cough* illegal purchases (not that i would know!)…
i only know how to convert the music using itunes, but here goes!
1. Select the music you want to put onto your phone in your itunes library
2. In the menus, select “Advanced”
3. File down to “Convert to ACC”
4. Re-select your chosen music once they’ve converted, and just copy and paste into your phone’s music folder!
Simple!
Overall thoughts on the LG KG800? Slick design, funky themes and profile sounds, and i don’t think the touchpad is tricky at all!
Enjoy!

Got an LG chocolate… had some liquid spill in my bag and now the phone has real trouble charging and if/when you eventually get a charge small enough to turn it on it seems to think it’s constantly charging (even when the powers pulled out) and won’t last for more than a couple of hours with an over night charge.
Anyone got any suggestions, I really like the phone. It’s basic but it does all i need for now.
P.s, tried a new battery! Didn’t help.

I Have the LG and all my mates love it.i have got the red wine colour and its sick. the mp3 player works 100% the Camera looks like a 2.0 instead of a 1.3 megapixel camera. the overall mark is 9/10 it would have got 10/10 but the internet will not work unless it connects through WAP so it cost more.i can not access the internet from the games&app menu i got 3 msn’s for it 5 different browser 1 i have made my self and it looks fine but no proformance at all.

I’ve had this phone for about a month and a half and I HATE IT. Its really easy to hang up on someone mid-conversation because of where the “hang up” button is placed (exactly where you’re meant to hold it). Generally its just an extrememly annoying phone to use, especially with some of the most basic features left out. I agree with gemma. This phone sucks, don’t buy it. Would you rather a phone that works properly or a phone that looks good?
April 27th, 2007 01:36
I have posted here before about liking this phone… Now iv had it for a month or so and its started to playup on me, And Yes moister seems to really screw the touch pad up. I love the phone but iv had to send it back to be fixed once… and thats once to many for my liking
April 30th, 2007 00:10
This phone looks beautiful, but it’s garbage.
The shape sucks to talk on, it picks up tons of background noise, the battery life is weak, and there’s no speakerphone.

I hate the phone. It is not user friendly at all. Just after i got the phone my friends told i made a mistake. I could have returned the phone but i was suppose to use it only for 15 mins of air time…and that was not possible to know if i want to keep the phone or not. I wish i returned LG Chocolate..i serioulsy hate the phone and looking to replace it with my own money now.

May 26th, 2007 11:59
Hi! Im from Australia.. I bought the pink model of this phone about 5 months ago… I love it, it is absolutely gorgeous.. BUT never have i had so much trouble with a phone!! I had to send it back (and didnt get it back for 4 weeks) after the speaker and microphone in it just completely died.. making or receiving phone calls were just out of the question.. LG replaced the whole top section of the phone..I have now had my phone back for two weeks.. it has done it again!! When people call me I can hear ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! And when I try to call people.. exactly the same.. I cant even hear a dial tone… very disappointing and inconvenient. It is a beautiful phone… but I guess this is what we get in such a consumerist society when we choose ‘fashionable’ over ‘necessity’…

Seems noone is answering any questions here… But I’ll try anyway…
How do you transfer your Pics on the LG 800 Chocolate to your PC (windows XP)? – and NO, this phone does not wokk like the older models – where the phone shows up as a hard drive. I can transfer MP3’s using the Bell software – but not pics.
How do you set MP3’s as ringers on this phone? Above there was an explanation – but for another model. I tried to follow the steps but theoptions were simply not avainable on my phone.

June 1st, 2007 17:03
This phone is absolute pap, please please please do not waste your money on it. I had mine for 5 months before it started working up, so i give it to my boyfriend for him to get fixed. i loved the phone so much that my dad bought me another one, and its doing the same now. white screen, turning off when im tryin to send a message. my boyfriend has had his fixed 3 times now, i cant even ring him on it anymore cos he cant hear me!!!! im not even gonna bother trying to get mine fixed its a complete waste of time and money even though i love everything about it, the hassle is way not worth it.

this fone is not atht good seriusly. me nd friend got on same day nd the same day 1 nd a half months later, the same thing started to happen to them and they stoped working. talk about coincidence? i could recieve calls, buti couldnt hear a thing. the keypad is really shocking it picks up hardly anything when you type a text message especially if ur a fast txter. otehr things about it r cool liek design but thats relli it to be honest. lg fones are really unrealiable, believe me.

Thankyou soni (mar 18th), I have been trying, along with all of my friends, to work out how to link pictures with your contacts-I couldnt even find it in the manual.
It seems that there maybe a couple of different batches of these phones…some being excellent, and others being rubbish and having lots of problems (like mine!!)-ie, alarm not waking you when switched off, scrolling its way thru the menu by itself, cancelling calls while you are talking, poor battery life etc etc. I have had this phone for 9 months, and have hated every day of it! If you are thinking of buying one of these phones my advice would be to only get it as pay-as-you-go….that way you can try out the phone, see how you get on with it, and if you dont like it then you can sell it again without being tied into a contract (unfortunately for me, a whole bloody 18 months of it!!-pants!)

I got the phone in March of this year. After a month the problem started happening. People call me and they can hear me and I will have to reset the battery for it to stop happening. Sometimes its the other way around. Also, cannot find how to match pictures with contacts it says phone book empty? I need help and emailed LG but, with no response. I wouldn’t buy another one unless they fix this software problem.

i understand the whole plugging in your usb cord and looking at the 5 folders with music, photos, others, etc and all, but how come when i drag and drop a song into the folder it says “cannot copy – the path is too deep.” what does that mean by path is too deep? and how do i change it so that it works?

this phone is great,i was unsure about getting it because of what people said about it but i decided to get it anyway and im glad i did because this is a great phone,i got the pink one,and i love the touch buttons they are very easy to get used to,the camera doesnt take that long to take a picture,5 seconds tops,you get get more memory for the phone.Most of the stuff people have said on here arnt true the phone does not stuff up,most of the people who have said this have probably droped their phone or just got a faulty one.i love having this phone because everyone wants to see it i love to walk around with it in my hand just so they can see what they are missing out on.i recommend this phone to everyone

July 4th, 2007 16:40
Can I just say tammy to your comment “Most of the stuff people have said on here arnt true the phone does not stuff up,most of the people who have said this have probably droped their phone or just got a faulty one”.
I certainly have not dropped my phone, cos people tend to be careful about this when they have spent alot of money on a phone! And regarding “just got a faulty one”, thats exactly what most of the people are complaining about on this site is that they have been given faulty ones, the odd faulty one you can understand, but to this degree i can only put it down to the phone being absolute sh*t!!!!! I have had 2 of the same phones and they have went the same way, along with 2 other friends!!!!
Lets see if your that optimistic in a couple of months when yours starts working up, like many other people have come to realise about this phone.
July 11th, 2007 07:13
if you want to use photos for a contact picture, the size has to be set to 72 x 72, photos of this size will appear in the contacts album.
the phone looks great, but has SHIT battery life. and for some reson mine only came with the actual phone, the charger and the hand book.

I disagree with the review… I had one since november, and is now in the trash. Literally! after going back to the factory to fix a common failure of the screem, the sensitive keyboard came malfuncioning again. without touching it, it just scrolled down. Its the worst piece of shit I haver had in my hands! No quality, despite the good looking. I have a nokia E65 now, and I am much happier.
If you need parts for it, I have many of them from myown…

THAT IS A DISHY PHONE
August 3rd, 2007 22:11
yeah, i really like this phone. i bought it a week ago and so far everything has been fine but recently i tried downloading a song which im guessing is an mp3. the problem im having along with some of the other people that have posted is i cant figure out how to convert that song into my ringtone. is there anyone that knows how to do that for this specific model? thanks.

August 6th, 2007 14:04
I love LG KU800. This mobile is very business…
August 11th, 2007 07:10
I bought this LG 800 near 2 month ago. it couldn’t receive signal sometimes, so, I sent it for repairation, waited for 5 weeks; the problem is there still. This is my whole 7 weeks experience with it: 2 weeks usage without signal reception frequently, and 5 weeks’ for reparing nothing; Since I have a 3 years contract with Bell and I exceeded the minutes for return and exchange, the seller told me the best thing they can do is to send it for reparation again… so, I have to wait for another 5 weeks again… maybe again and again… for 3 years…….
August 11th, 2007 19:00
it is shit
August 17th, 2007 10:46
I have bought this phone on ebay it has come 2 hours ago through the postand it is an absouloutly fantastic phone, I really love it.
August 18th, 2007 00:27
Hey I have the KG800. The pink one. So far I’ve been really happy with it but the only thing I can’t figure out is the video. I can upload them on my computer but they won’t play on my computer. Is there a way to send the videos to another phone besides via bluetooth? Other than that this seems to be a great phone. The touch screen pad is really sensitive but after you get used to it it’s not bad. And mine doesn’t scratch easily like some other people have said. I dropped it accidentally and it was fine. I usually carry it in my pocket by itself so that nothing in my purse can scratch it.
August 21st, 2007 19:58
i think the LG chocolate KG800 is a great phone i am hoping i will will get one soon i just need a bit money i really want the black one it is reallt nice but then again i like the pink to so i don’t now yet i think i am going for the black one.
August 22nd, 2007 13:11
I’ve had many problems with the LG chocolate phone.
1) Sometimes when I call people, they can’t hear me but I can hear them. I have to hang up and call again.
2) The touchscreen is nice, but you can’t use it in the winter when it’s cold and you have gloves on. I am now an expert at using my nose to activate the touchscreen.
3) The logic of the buttons is not inuitive. Sometimes, you have to press the center “ok” button, sometimes you have to touch the upper touchbuttons. I can never get it right. For instance, you can’t save an alarm without actually pushing “ok.” I’ve lost many alarms (and been late to critical meetings) because of this.
4) After 9 months, I’m beginning to have severe problems. It stems from a faulty “Call/Send” button. This is really bad. When I open to phone to call someone, it will automatically call the last person that talked to me (ie the first person on my list of ‘all calls’).
5) Randomly, none of the touchpad buttons will work. It sometimes freezes when I first open the phone, sometimes it’ll happen in the middle of a txtmsg. It’s incredibly annoying. Sometimes, it won’t let me press “send/call” so I can’t call anyone.
I’ve always had LG phones, but this one is the first one I would dump, if I could. I’d rather go back to the older model from 2-3 years ago than deal with a poorly thought-through design such as the LG chocolate.

This phone lasted about 8 months before it died with a white screen.. you can dial out but there is no picture.
From all of the “white screen of death”s reported on the internet.. it’s pretty obvious that this phone is poor quality.

Whoever was complaining about the fact that the phone is black and not brown to match the chocolate name…The original phone was made a rich brown color and looked like a chocolate bar..that’s how it first got its name. I have the white chocolate phone. Like other phones they have the alternate colors (black, green, pink..etc.) to please the consumer and their color preference. Obviously the marketers aren’t idiots and realize chocolate is brown not black. More consumers want black phones than brown..thats why its used as the default picture usually.
October 23rd, 2007 22:30

ive just stuck it on charge and im hoping for the best haha
November 16th, 2007 07:20
My boyfriend and I just got a “couples talk free” type plan from Bell and I got the phone for free for signing up. All I had to pay was the activation fee. However, the CD for mp3 software/installation or whatever is not in the box. My boyfriend said that companies sometimes take them out so that you have to buy them from them…but I’m not so sure. Are they even allowed to do that?
November 16th, 2007 07:27
Ah p.s. I love the little cleaner thing it comes with. I’m reeeeaaallly bad when it comes to putting fingerprints on nice things. I’ve only had the phone for a couple days and my only problem with it has been this software deal and how sensitive the touch pad is. But I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
November 16th, 2007 14:20

Why are people still buying this phone???
EVERYWHERE people are having flex cable problems leading to the screen display messing up (white screen of death being the worse).
Just search the internet quickly and you’ll find so many forums talking about it.
It is ridiculous that people (especially incoherent kids that are posting comments here) are still buying the Chocolate.

I purchase a new LG chocolate kg800 and the first day i got it it did not work properly. I was able to make calls but no one could hear me at all…i dont mean it was low i mean i COULDNT BE HEARD AT ALL PERIOD…I could hear them but they couldnt hear me. Also the signal on the phone is horrible, in place i would have service with other phones i have none with this one…and its hella fickle about keeping service so my calls are constally being disconnected or im missing out on what people are saying because the in call volume is low…and i still havent figured out how to turn the incall volume up…the buttons on the side just made that dam beep of pressing the keys louder which makes no sense. Dont get me wrong it looks nice but thats like having a beautiful woman with no brain…at first you want it so bad but then when u get 2 know it you wonder why you bothered…I give the phone a 4 out of 10
March 3rd, 2008 01:41
HORRIBLE phone. I swear. I have to get yet another phone. My third one! Since what? August. Fucking ridiculous. And I can’t get another phone because of the contract.

I can’t see them. Pisses me off so bad. BAD PHONE. I got it because it was pretty. Big fucknig mistake.

I’ve read through the instructions but all they seem to say under ‘media storage’ isn’t all that important and nothing in ‘My computer’ is showing up either.
Please help.

I bought this phone 3 months ago and tried to get the USB to work for uploading music and pic’s, it didn’t work, i lost it and had to go back to my old phone for a while but now i bought another new one from futureshop and was determine to get it to work now after much searching i’m finding out my service provider blocked it so all you can do is upload music and you have to download crazy devices just to make that work, i’m super pissed and taking it back tomorrow!!!

HOW TO ADD PHOTOS ONTO CONTACTS
>>>> if you want to add photos onto contacts, you have to choose photo size 72×72
and after that just go to that contact in edit mode and choose photo which you’ve made and save it…..after all this you can simply delete that photo from your photo album – don’t worry, it won’t disappear from your contact’s profile
that’s it
enjoy your LG KG800

is there a way 2 change the mobile themes???
August 18th, 2008 16:44
HOW TO CHANGE MENU COLOUR and DISPLAY WALLPAPER
to change menu colour:
settings>display>menu colour>choose black or silver {imno, black looks nicer, especially when your LG is black}
to change display wallpaper:
settings>display>wallpaper>
1.default – here you’ll find 4 default wallpapers
2. my folder – here you’ll find 4 default images
you can also plug usb cable into your LG KG800 and use LG contents bank to add pictures or just make some photos by yourself – every your picture.jpg can be a wallpaper – just make a photo>album>options>set as wallpaper
enjoy your LG KG800

thnx emi for replying
plz do you know how to change the contacts photo in the contacts information?…whenever i try to change it it tells me that the phonebook picture empty!!!
August 25th, 2008 05:50
WOW !! i lovee this phone, ive had it for about 7wks. it’s sorta confusing coz some comments are good and some bad, but i guess if you want this phone, you have to think of whats best for YOU and not what happened with other ppl eg. if you arent a gentle person dont get it or if you want to be able to store hundreds of songs and photo’s onto it dont get this phone, get a camera or an ipod !! and btw everything takes time to get used to, spen some time searching through your phone and see whats in it, coz you can light up your key pad and you can get songs off the comp ect. xo eliza

WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH
If your screen changes to white or blank, also if the device turns itself off, the problem is probably the flex cable, You can get one from EBay for a few dollars and instructions on how to replace it are here, http://diymobilerepair.co.uk/LGChocolate.html or you there are how to fix on YOUTUBE, USE GOOGLE.
Good Luck

hi friends,
does anybody know that where to insert the SD memory card in LG KG800???? PLz leave me reply soon…..
December 8th, 2008 23:51
don’t know where to insert memory card but lots of people having trouble uploading songs cos it conveniently doesn’t tell you in the manual how to do it.
So, after a lot of swearing and cursing I’ve found that it’s really easy.
Open the file on your pc where your music is stored. Leave it open.
Plug one end of your phone USB into the side of your phone first and then plug the other end into a USB port in your computer. A USB icon will be showing on your phone screen. If a screen comes up on your pc where Windows asks you what you want to do eg View files, Copy etc, just click it out of the way as you can’t transfer music to your phone using that.
Do this:
Click Start,
Click My Computer,
Then click Removable Disk (eg: D, E or F) whichever is showing.
Click on the Removable Disk.
Click on My Media.
Click on My Music.
Any tracks you have stored on your phone will show (if you have any on your phone already, otherwise it will just be blank). Leave this file open also. Drag it over to one side of your screen so you’ve got room to look at this and the file you opened earlier where your music is stored on your pc.
Go back to the file you opened where your music is stored on your pc. Drag your cursor over the track you want on your phone and drag it over to the My Music phone folder. The track then transfers over to your phone and you should see the ‘file transferring’ icon come up after a few seconds. If it doesn’t work it means that you didn’t drag it properly so drag the file over again until you see it transferring. If you look at your phone screen you will also see a message saying ‘transferring’ Once you get the hang of this it’s a doddle.
The phone stores about 20-30 songs. If you run out of room on your phone you can transfer some of the songs that you’re bored with from your phone to your pc and store them in your music library on your pc if you still want to keep them. You do this by dragging the file from your phone to the library.
Then delete the song or songs that you want to remove from your phone by right clicking with your mouse and then clicking Delete.
Unplug your phone from the cable and the new songs will be on your phone’s mp3 player.

LG 800 is good in looks only. you cannot use the phone in dark as there are no lights in keys. It is very difficult to use or send a msg .

September 19th, 2009 11:55
> Mrs khity, maybe power saving option is turn on in your phone? (in this case, lights in keys are turned off). If so, turn off power saving option
> karishma, can you connect your LG KG800 to pc? If yes, then simply do so and scan it by clicking right mouse button>scan… (dunno what antivirus you’re using) or go to your antivirus program and scan your phone drive from there
