LG Phone Reviews & Rankings

I had this issue with when I plugged it into my computer it would just charge. Thanks to the helpful info on here I was able to put the micro sd card from my husbands phone into this phone. then plug into the computer and choose the "mass storage" option that came up. Then it pretty much was acting like it was a flash drive and I was able to get the pics onto my computer very quickly and easily. it is too bad they don't tell you that when you purchase the phone, I also couldn't find anything about retrieving pics in the user manual. oh well, I will be getting a new phone soon, hopefully I wont have any issue with this in the future. getting a smart phone now. :)

There is a way to do this even if you no longer have cell service or bluetooth. First, you must install a memory card. Then go into Pictures and open the drop down menu on the upper right corner. From that menu select copy and select what pics you're trying to get. Then copy to the Memory card (there'll be a tab for phone memory or memory card). Indicate that your directing the save to Pictures (and then Paste). It'll let you know it copied. Now using an USB cable connect your phone to a computer (your computer should recognize a connection has been made). An "Auto Play" menu appeared for me. From that menu I selected "open folder to view files" from there you can save pics onto your computer.

Bluetooth: your PC needs a Bluetooth adapter. Most newer laptops (since about 2010) have Bluetooth built in; tower/desktop PCs generally do not have built in Bluetooth (a few do, check the "device manager" for Bluetooth devices on your laptop or desktop). If the PC does not have a built in BT adapater, you need to buy a USB Bluetooth adapter, usually about $20-$30 US. Once it's installed CORRECTLY with all drivers and software, make sure your C395 phone has BT enabled, and "My Visibility" is on. Then use the PC BT software to scan for the phone, you may also have to use the "Search New Device" feature in your phone's BT menu. Eventually, the PC and phone will (hopefully) communicate and you can then transfer your pics, etc. You'll need to install the LG USB Mobile Driver before doing ANYTHING. Use this link for LG support & downloads: http://www.lg.com/us/support/software-manuals Then locate the c395 on the menu and download the USB driver; it may not be needed but I got nothing accomplished until I installed this driver; I think the USB driver should be installed, it won't hurt anything... be sure the phone is connected before installing the USB driver or else the PC will appear to lock up at the end of the driver install. Oh... one other thing that may not matter, but I installed the Microsoft MPT driver too. Search it out, it's free from Microsoft, I don't know if it made a difference in the whole scheme of things, but it didn't hurt anything either. All this was done on Windows7 Home Premium 64bit. Good luck, I hope this helps someone, somewhere.

Connect your phone to your computer using a USB data cable. Once connected, you should see a notification on your computer, something like "Found new hardwre LG USB modem. Go to My Computer and you should see your phone's memory card listed as a Removable storage device. Click on that drive and you can now access the content of your memory card. You can now move or copy files to your computer.

I am transferring to a smart phone soon, but I don't want to lose the four years worth of pictures I have stored. I don't want to just carry around the practically lifeless phone. Is there anyway I can transfer my photos without a memory card? I never got one when I bought this phone at my local Walmart. I also tried an app called "Wondershare Tunesgo." It wont connect because I cant usb debug. Does anyone know how to do that? 

I also have this phone, and I have found that, unless you have a memory card in your phone (or even if you do have one) you cannot get pictures off of the phone. Using a USB cable, you can transfer pictures from the phone that were taken after the point that you aquired a memory card, as these pictures are, from then on, saved to the memory card. Any pictures that are stored to the phone's internal memory cannot be transferred from the phone excepting by text message or bluetooth.

Insert a memory card into your Xpressions phone.  Open settings, pictures.  Look in right upper corner, select "Move," select all, move, tap memory card, paste.  Two quick ways to look and transfer to computer.  1. take the memory card out and insert into computer.  2. plug USB from phone to computer, select mass storage.  Whatever way you choose, Start, Computer, open your file.

I do not see any message like "Found new hardware..." when I connect my LG Xpression to computer. It rather shows USB connection mode or something like that with 3 options : "Mass storage", "Music sync", "Data storage". When I choose "Mass storage" it says that I need to insert a memory card.
So, I am confused about how to transfer pictures I have in my LG Xpression to my computer. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I don't have an answer to this question, but have another question...how do I save my text message conversations from this phone to my memory card? i am in need of doing so for legal purposes and I cannot seem to figure out how to do it like I did with the pictures. Any help???? Advice????

I have the LG Xpression phone and I have the memory card installed. I downloaded the driver for this device to my computer. The drivers installed correctly. When I plug the phone into the USB port, the computer does not recognize the device. I don't get a "new device detected" or new "drive" on the computer. It simply charges the battery. What am I doing wrong?

Go into the phones settings, click on connection and chose USB connection mode as "mass storage". This will allow you access to the SD card, but not the internal memory. You can transfer pics from the phone to the card and then to the computer but so far this is the only way I have found to do it without doing bluetooth.

thxs jo for the tip. I was able to plug the LG Xpression into my PC with the USB cord and was able to access my memory card on my PC. The question is: how do I transfer the pictures from my phone memory to my memory card?? help help pls

if you transfer the pictures from your phone to the memory card you can do it that way, you do that by going to the picture and press on the 3 lines at the top, you should see something like 'move picture'

The memory card port can be found by taking the back plate off the phone. The card slot is just below the shutter button for the camera on the side of the phone. Remember, this phone takes a micro sd card, not a standard.

The easiest way is to set up bluetooth and transfer. It doesn't matter if you have a memory card or not and saves a lot of time compared to texting pics.

I have the same phone and had the same problem you cant transfer ur pics to ur computer if you dont have a memory card in ur phone.

I had the same problem with this phone, but i solved it! I sent my pictures via Bluetooth to my computer. Just that easy!

So, where does the memory card go in the phone ? I don't see any space for it.

What do they cost ?

how to set up bluetooth to transfer photos fr the phone to computer? may anyone pls help?

How do you set up Bluetooth between your pc and your phone?

I also have the same problem? Please help me.

Hi Joe. The LG Revere was not designed to transfer media to your PC via a USB connection, but there is a way to do it. I found this technique for you to be able to transfer your photos to your computer.

Download and install BitPim, you can find it free yourself or click this link.

Plug your VN150 into your PC with the USB cable and make sure it is turned on.

Launch BitPim

In BitPim, go to the View in the top menu bar and click on View File System.

Go to the Edit drop down in the top menu bar and click on Settings
Change the phone type to LG-VX5500 and click Ok.

In the left screen click on Filesystem

In the middle screen click on +Folder
Then click on the +Synched folder
Then the my_pictures folder

Your picture files will be displayed in the right screen and you can right click on each one and save them to your PC.

Hope it works for you!

I tried this and the program BitPim would not find this phone but it fount my phone by letting it search for other. After the pics were downloaded I could not open them until I saved the in my documents and then double clicked on the number that was assigned to that particular picture.

I even chatted with a representative of LG products and he said that you could not transfer the pictures to a computer. I guess you have proved him wrong.

Thank you so very much for your info.

The LG Revere is NOT designed to work with USB, whether You use Bitpim or not. Tried it countless times and it never works. I worked for Verizon and they have went out of their way to block Media Transfer from This and other phones.

Thank you!!

I got bitpim working just as you said. It's a little time comsuming because I didn't see any way to batch save but works great for a hack around!

Thanks again>>>>Dana

I am trying to send things from my phone to my lab top and I'm having problem trying to find where I go to do it and I need other things as well but if I can get t o the beginning I should be okay

Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable. Once connected, your phone's memory card will shop up in "My Computer" as a removable storage. You can then move files from and to your phone.

How do i transfer pix from lg motion 4g phone to my computer?

how do i transfer music contacts & games to my laptop

Hi Nancy, when you say main screen, are you referring to the home screen of the phone or just the lock screen? If it's the former, just swipe down from the notifications bar on the top of the screen and then tap on the button near the top right corner that looks like three parallel bars. If it's the latter, go to Settings > Display and remove the check mark on the box next to "Lock screen notifications." Let us know if either of these tips help take care of the issue!

David,

I got rid of it finally by hitting every feature i could find but will keep your answer for if it happens again. I was referring to the lock screen.

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Nancy

How do you remove old voicemail from LG L41C

I found out that it is only when someone with an I phone sends a text. They will need to go into their settings and turn off "I message" then after they send you a text they can turn it back on. They should do it... I have no problems now...

Hope this helps..

Hey gary. Contact your service provider to report your problem. This could be an issue on their end. Also consider checking your phone signal. Make sure you have signal or call and text messages won't come in.

My phone is doing the exact same thing.. If you get this figured out please E-Mail me.

Thanks.

It has a very rudimentary form that only works well for sending messages. Open the address book application and on the top of the screen click on All Contacts and then select groups. them title your desired group and add the numbers you wish.

Unfortunately I think there's none, 'cause I can't find any information about it.

Hi Bob! You can download a copy of the manual in LG Revere's Product Page found here in Cell phones etc. You can find the download link on the right side of the page.

Need LG/Revere UV150 user manuel

Try this:

1. Dial *#61# from your phone. Tap Send.

2. You should see a new screen that displays a bunch of information about what's getting forwarded. You should see a line under "Voice Call Forwarding" that says "Forwards to +11234567890" (where 11234567890 is an eleven digit phone number, likely different from your phone number). Write down this number and tap Dismiss.

3. Now, dial **61*+11234567890*11*XX# and hit Send, where 11234567890 is the number that you found in step two and XX is the number of seconds you want to wait until voicemail picks up. You can set it in increments of 5, where 30 seconds is the maximum.

Alternatively, you should be able to call AT&T or T-Mobile customer service and have them change it from their end, if you're uncomfortable doing it yourself. source

Let me know which carrier you're with as instructions may differ from each carrier.

If you have ringtones saved in your memory card, your phone should be able to detect them and include them in your list of ringtones.

Based on the user manual, the only way to transfer photos is through picture messaging and Bluetooth transfer. For instructions on sending picture messages, click here. For sending through Bluetooth, click here.

It is used for connecting the headset and charger to your phone.
