Not a bad phone. I have had it fpr nearly a year now. Have a few problems but not anything major.Battery life is quite impressive. Good synlight readability if you turn brightness setting up. Thinking of getting the Volt 2 for bigger screen size.

      It's alright so far, but a problem I am having is that it takes forever to download apps. I have been trying to download one app for close to 3 days now. It should take maybe 20 mins. I don't understand why it is taking so long.

              AnonD-405129, 11 Jun 2015My phone has those same exact problems minus the updating. ... moreMy volt was doing the same thing after about a year of heavy use. I did a hard reset and everything is running like a champ. Like any other computer it just accumulates little pieces of data garbage that build up over time and affects your processing power. Nothing a good house cleaning shouldn't fix.

                I have had my LG Volt for three weeks. Initially I loved it. It worked great! However, for the last five days the keyboard (I use the google keyboard) comes up when I start to type in the search, it pops back down. I have to repeatedly tap the search box to bring it back up. Sometimes (

                      Battery life decays rapidly.
                      touchscreen regularly stops working.
                      clock randomly sets itself back occasionally.
                      regularly fails to notify of incoming messages and calls.
                      sometimes, the power button doesn't work.

                      I will be getting a flip phone to replace this paperweight of a phone. I recommend you do the same.

                      Note: this happened twice. I sent my original Volt in for a new one, and this one is failing too. It has been about a year since I got the first one, and that one lasted about six months.

                          9 out of 10
                          I absolutely LOVE the LG Volt - Boost Mobile 4gb rom/ 1gb ram Black version.
                          I would have loved to had the 8gb version, but i suspect it has the update that ruined the available internal memory inside the LG Tribute. So they doubled the internal memory, since the newer software uses about 50 percent of the internal storage.
                          The reason i like my Volt so much is I was looking for a reliable full featured replacement for my Motorola Droid Razr.
                          The Razr is an older device now, running Android 4.1, but the features are very close on this device.
                          Sadly for android and LG alike, i purchased the LG Tribute (knowing the specs were identical to my volt), and the user can only install around ONE program, then the internal storage is full!
                          thank god the LS740 4gb version dont have this newer bloatware filling the internal storage with random cache that cant be cleared.
                          Make no mistake, i have spoken with LG, Google Android Techs, and all the phone hackers i know, this is the problem.
                          The cache is stored in the system root area, so tethering to a pc or any other option will not lead you to the cache storage to even see it.
                          I recommend the LG Volt to anyone and everyone.
                          The absolute BEST Budget smartphone on the market as of today.
                          stay away from the newest 4.4.2 Android if you know whats best for your daily anger management.
                          I'm not sure if 5.1 carries this issue over, if it does, this is an intentional problem to use 50 percent of internal storage.
                          This issue causes users to think they need a higher internal storage than 4 or 8 or 16 GB.
                          Users will then assume the Android OS somehow "uses" this massive amount of internal storage, so they need to upgrade. This is simply not true, but buyer beware.

All 8gb smartphone would have only 5gb or 4gb left. They are filled with features, softwares, and program. Even 500gb laptop does not have 500gb free internal storage. Over 30gb of 500gb is filled with computer program and software.
