I just have to let calls go to voicemail & I call them back. Rotation has never worked on my phone. I didn't realize my phone was exceptio...
Had this phone for about 3 years now and have been very happy wih it. It has been the most reliable phone I have owned to date with the only real issue being the battery life and it gets a little sluggish from time to time but nothing that a reboot doesn't cure. As for the review complaining abou...

It takes a minute or more to pull up the phone, messaging or any other app. This makes using it for GPS difficult and terrible if you need to call someone in a hurry. I have already rese...
In Depth
The LG Optimus Showtime offers the amenities of a smartphone without the need for a contract.
This prepaid phone offers mediocre specs: a 1GHz processor, 2GB of storage, 4.3” screen and comes with 4GB in the microSD slot. There are no notable expert reviews on this product, however many users are impressed with the overall quality and speed of the phone. According to many users, the UI of the phone is incredibly responsive as is the speed of the Wi-Fi network and processor.
While there are generally positive reviews from users on the Showtime, one drawback of the phone is its battery life. The LG page mentions it has just 6 hours of actual talk time. With various apps running in the background, the battery drains much faster.
Despite this, most users are happy with the quality and price of the phone.
The Good: Good processing speed, excellent phone coverage.
The Bad: Poor battery life.

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!
