Two bugs/issues I have found:

1. After the phone has been turned off, you may sometimes need to take the battery out to turn it back on.

2. If you delete a ringtone from the MP3 playlist it will no longer function properly as a ringtone. You can play it and it is still located on the phone but when assigned as a ringtone the phone will use one of the alarm melodies instead. (I have contacted LG Mobile UK about this problem and have yet to get a response)

For people in Canada, how do you find the reception of the phone since the LG shine is only triband?

i'd say expansys is a good place to get the phone from. i'm getting it through their HK website (i live in HK), should arrive in the next few days

question: where can i download games and how do i install them? worms is my fav game to play (short, easy, takes up time

) and i've had it on my RAZR and sammy E900, now i want it on the shine too. any help pls? thanks!

There is a guy selling an LG shine for $430 on ebay. Seems like the cheapest one. Anyone know where to get it cheaper?

LAST NOTE - vidoes must be 15fps, or they wont play at all, irritating I know.

Hi i've got a lg shine and have put animated wallpapers on it but it says they are too large even though they are 64kb in file size and 240x320. any ideas how i can use these. Also i did'nt transfer them using the software just by bluetooth on my old phone. Cheers

another question...
for those who has it, how is the ringtone volume? because I heard there is no speaker?

is it loud enough?

**anonyjjang** · 03-01-2007, 12:52 PM

Is there any tweak software that works with this one?
I want to put my own 30-sec mp3 ringtone. It doesn't support custom mp3 ringtone, does it?
Also, the only GSM version that is out is europe version, I believe. Is there any problem with UK English menu? Why ppl ask for US English?
