          AnonD-6535, 10 May 2013Guys... Anybody has problems with signal reception, network... moreYes, sometimes my 3G signal is getting lost... This smartphone is weak on 3G networks, it's proved.

          But, ok, it's not a serious issue, the problem is that my hard keys don't work after the official update :(

          I will never buy a LG ! That's for sure !!!

            sun, 02 May 2013whether it has slowed down your phone or game speed or not.... moreThanks for reply, Sun!

            I keep my smartphone very clean. I have the default applications...

            I have no lag or delay or whatsoever...

            I have 800 MB free on my internal storage and 16 GB on my MicroSD Card... So space shouldn't be a problem...

            My RAM has 150 MB free space... So this isn't a problem, too...
            I wrote a post on xda developers, nobody even answered me, but I found a guy with the same problem as mine (so I'm not alone ith this)

            Today I called LG Support and they requested a huge price for a reperation (almost half of the value of the phone itself !!! thieves !!! )

            The hard keys still don't work / work very hard ( I must push push push many times until they work, sometimes not even them..)

            Well, I'm kinda desperate...

            I did many Factory Resets, not working...

            I was thinking at a Hard Reset... How to do that?

                I m using it from last 15 months. Its a cool phone, best fit in hands. I m satisfy with it bcoz i bought it in 12K. Rest it has drawbacks too... its quiet slow. u have to lil patient to use it. I do it restart everyday in morning.. then it run fine.
                I like it but not recommend to buy it if you like performance.

                    I purchased this phone through Wal-Mart's StrightTalk plan. Overall I like it. A good, inexpensive alternative to the more expensive phones out there. The money you save with prepaid makes up for the discount you'd get for signing a two year contract with one of the big carriers on the Galaxy 4 or something similar. I pay about half of what they charge per month for unlimited data. The phone's performance isn't bad either. Obviously the battery life could be a little better, but for the price it gets the job done.

                          I had Android 2.3.4. I saw on LG's site that I can upgrade to their official Android 4.0.4. I just installed LG Support Tool and click, next, click, next, very easy setup... In 10 minutes, I had Android 4.0.4 ICS on my LG P970 - pretty impressive :) Everything was working sweet, except my hard keys / hardware buttons which were / are very unresponsive... Later I've read that ICS doesn't support anymore hard keys / hardware buttons... But LG forgot to tell me that :) And this is their official ICS, no custom ROM which could brick my phone... Ok, I've said... Let's try to install Button Saviour - but, oh, wait, it doesn't work because my mobile phone isn't root / rooted :( I tried Factory Reset, battery out, SIM and Micro SD out, but all for nothing. I don't use any strange apps, just the basic ones and all verified from Google Play. I like keeping my phone very simple... Now, is there any solution out there? Anyway, I will try to go to a private store and ask the guys to install a custom ROM, maybe Android Jelly Bean. I won't do it at home - takes time and I patience and I don't have them these days :) But, LG sucks. I'll never a phone from them anymore ! I will try a Windows Phone in the future. I'm sick of Android, too. Maybe an Ubuntu mobile phone, Linux has been always great...
