Can you zoom in when viewing websites to read fine print and enlarge images?

Can you type data into websites or just look at website content? I need local weather radar and have to type in my current zip code.

Can you enter data into websites? I often go to the weather channel’s website and enter my zip code. Can the LG800G do this?

can you download java script without hooking up to a computer if not where can i get a cable?

Can anyone tell me where to get an actual manual for this phone. The one supplied with it barely scratches the surface. Am going to try the LG website and maybe they’ll be of some help.
Thanks to all…..

I just got this phone and so far, I like it…need a manual, but any who…I DO NOT have the phone locked,BUT – when I receive a call, I have to unlock the phone. Any advice for me?

@Glen
have had my LG800G for about 2 months and have never had a problem with the text. I am wondering if anyone knows how to turn on the speaker phone?

Also when I text— it shows the telephone number—I would like it show my name. Any way to change that

When sending messages to an e-mail address—how to you change who it is from.
Mine shows the telephone number, I want it to show my name.

Yes, but not a physical keyboard. It’s an electronic keyboard where you tap the keys on your phones screen.

Have had this phone 2 months and touchscreen has never frozen. The virtual keyboard letters are a bit small so sometimes I press the wrong one, but overall it’s o.k,

I had problems receiving text messages. After several calls to customer service, I was told it’s a software problem with LG 800G phones. They sent me a replacement LG 800 GSM phone with a new SIM card and the problem was resolved. Note: your contact information will not be saved to your new phone so make a written or typed copy of contact information before your “software problem” phone is deactivated).

How do you turn on the speaker phone function when making a call on the LG800G?

PS…..

To all of you who are still experiencing issues with your incoming and outgoing text messages I would strongly recommend you contact CS and have them program you a new sim card which just might alleviate the problem.

I recently spoke to Tracfone tech help and LG headquarters. I wanted to confirm that there wasn’t a lingering text glitch on my LG800g.
Apparently both sources confirmed that this model has been programmed ( Tracfone) not to identify the sender of an incoming text. It is only after you open it that the sender’s identity is revealed. I have never experienced this ” lack of a feature” with any of my previous owned Tracfones.

This seems to be a ” forced money making scheme” even though the cost of a regular text message is relatively low. I do not agree with this tactic and will more than likely not purchase any Trac- LG mobile models in the future.

Definitely something to consider…

I have been a TF customer for 11 years. Everytime a newer model became available I would upgrade. I never had any problems before aquiring the lg800g. Text, Voice Mail, Incoming Calls, etc. were severe enough problems to render the phone virtually useless. I called the main headquarters where I spoke to a lovely person I could easily communicate with and a few sim cards later I seem to be fine.Perhaps by the time I called they had some of the kinks worked out?

The only issue that seems to be lingering is I have no clue as to who sent the text message until after I open it. To be continued….

ok so im in victorville, ca (92394) and iwant this and it wont let me…. I NEED MAJOR HELP can someone help ?

Will net10 send a new lg800g out for exchange if technical support can’t get the texting to work?

Myself and a family member have bought an lg800g net10 tracfone and loved it until we discovered that it isn’t recieving or sending picture text from the lovely big screen. After talking to technical support, I don’t get msg text either.

Does this have speakerphone and how do i use it?

@Glen
Same problem here. called support and they said 24 hrs. still waiting. will send it back if issues arent resolved..too bad. i like the little phone.

@Cletus Decker
just got the phone that part havent figured out yet and how to put ringtones with the caller who is calling

I ordered this phone on tracphone site then later that night I was watching HSN anyone knows what that is. They had a today special for 99.00 u got this lg800 with home, car charger and 1200 mins and get this instead of the usual double mins for life it come with triple mins for life. Needless to say what i had order just hours before for 50.00 i canceled and got this one. Hell the mins alone u would pay that much for but the triple mins for life i had to go for it. We got the phones and luv it but will take some getting use to

IS THERE A MANUAL TO DOWNLOAD?
How do i put songs on the mp3 player part of the phone?

After setting up lg800 I had apps located at bottem that u could move to quick access, how do u get them back.

I just got my phone today and I love it. I hated my old tracfone I only rarely used it. This one seems great but I don’t seem to be able to find any accessories for it. No having any other issues with my new phone so far.

@Glen Perkinson
I can’t receive text messages either.

@Glen
I am having the same problems with them. I have been dealing with tracfone for 2 weeks over this and it has cost me over 60 mins in time from them telling to send myself texts and picture messages ect. Is getting a replacement phone the answer? I am getting very angry with this. It is the first time I have had a bad LG phone from tracfone in 9 years!

No. I called customer service and am sending the phone back. They couldn’t resolve problem.

@Glen
Have you resolved the text problem? I’m having the same problem and called customer service and they said wait 4 hours and call them back if it isn’t working. I’m doubtful that it will work.

@Tony
where do you find the deal on the minutes, thanks

I just got this phone a few days ago and the only problem is I’ve received the same message from my daughter about 15 times this evening. Probably not the phone’s fault, but is irritating nevertheless. Otherwise I am really liking this phone. I had a Motorola W376 and I liked it until I started texting, so I really needed a phone with a Qwerty keyboard and I really like this touchscreen phone. The touchscreen isn’t the same as an ipod touch, you have to tap, not touch, but I would certainly recommend getting this phone. Tracfone has a great deal going right now.

i tryed a poolgame app using LG GW300 phone listing as noted above and i did get it transfer to phone but it said data connection unavailable
any other phone types i should try ?

Still not able to receive text messages! Is anyone else having this problem with the LG 800g?

Does this phone have a full qwerty keyboard or not

I read on another site that you couldn’t get on the internet with this phone outside of your home area. Is that true?

getjar.com doesn’t recognize lg 800g.

Is anyone having a problem receiving text message on LG 800g?

Another question, does anybody know if you can watch videos on youtube (or anywhere else) with this phone?

Which phone is better, LG500g or LG800g? I want to get a new phone soon and I’m having a hard time picking one. One more question, do you need Itunes to put music on the LG800g? or is it just like putting music on a mp3 player?

I am getting this phone soon but I wanted to know for this phone how much is it for receiving and sending texts? Some of them are diff.

How do I transfer apps to my phone?

which phone r u talking about exactly?

Hey! Listen up. I have this phone and it is excellent, a steal at 49.95! And it comes with Double minutes fo the life of the phone. Hooked up Bluetooth to my car and laptop…works great! Tell my car to call names in my phone’s phonebook…perfect. Sent .mp3 tunes to my phone from my laptop…play great. Camera is tops. QWERTY keyboard works perfectly…and I have big fingers. You’re not gonna beat this phone for the price…no way. Web service works though is nothing to write home about…but I don’t care about that. This phone is great, period! When you compare this phone’s cost and features, and only $8.00 a month for double minutes, which gets you a minimum of 800 minutes…can’t beat it no way.

I kid you not!! Buy one…you’ll be glad you did.

thank you very much but i do have one more quick question…when u activated ur lg500 did u have any problems with the txting feature??? o i guess i have another queston…how much does each txt cost to send???

for a person who uses all their airtime to txt which new tracfone is better??? like for txting???

hey im have an old “dumb” flip tracfone and hate how loud it is when i txt. and i txt alot! i love the tracfone plan but again they do have horrable phone fashion sense untill these 2 new awesome phones! one thing though that im wondering is that on all the websites they dont put txting as an automatic feature 4 either of the phones!?!?!?! what the……????

Hey, nice fone and all, but be careful about what you think is an “mp3 player”. You will NOT be able to organize any music on the fone. No matter how they are listed in your computer they WILL be alphabetical on the fone. So good luck trying to “listen to a favorite album on the NEW mp3 feature.” ALL tracks are scrambled and jumbled together, so maybe LG should have included a “Sort by” feature. Bottom line, you want an mp3 player, get an mp3 player. You want phone, get a phone. LG screwed up this one up. Good Luck.

Thanks. Is there a directional ap available for the 900? @dwight

Hi: Is this a more recent or older phone than the LG900G that Net 10 has? Also, I am an old dude that has some eyesight problems. I found the 900G hard to use because of its very small number/letter buttons. Do you think the 800G would be any easier? How do the two phones compare otherwise? I would like to use a GPS directional function if possible.
Thanks.

What’s the mobile web cost to use? My tracfone charges by the minute as much as a phone call, is this model any different?

I just got one Friday, and you DO have the option to switch to a virtual qwerty keyboard when texting. But, when on the web, or saving contacts, it will only let you choose between a traditional keyboard or “handwriting” mode, where you write on the screen with your fingertip.

How is the touchscreen on this phone? I heard it’s a great phone, but you know how some touchscreen phones freeze up or are harder to use. What do you think?
