dude, dun worry about the flash ok. its really powerful enough to blind someone....

firmware was already stable when it released...so nothing to worry about

spore set.... im not sure if LG msia will service spore set...so that could be an issue.

i wannabe viewty user..but still looking for the right price n seller too..want to buy da spore set..but worried bout da warranty..but nowadays everybody is selling fon from spore..wut shud i do..huuu...

buying zitron local set will be easier for u since warranty is an important issue for a phone.

used phone price for a lg is around RM800-900..

try to notice garage sales..

yup bro..u r rite..still looking for da viewty...

I am using Singapore set.

The problems you might faced when using Singaporean set is that you might not be able to send something for repair to Malaysia LG (even if you are still under warranty). You will need to send it back to Singapore to do the servicing and repair.

I bought my Viewty in June and has been using it till now. Everything is superb, no sudden restart, no problems at all. About your message tone, yes it only plays for 5 seconds before it cut the mp3 out. Anyway if you adjust the volume you would notice incoming message.

Just go for Zitron set if you want to avoid the inconveniences. There is no difference between version a or b or c. It's just a difference in the operator settings.

bro, may i know which firmware you're using? coz im using a Singapore set also, i do face twice which when i connect the phone via USB cable to the pc, when open the LG contents manager in PC Suite, the phone will auto restart. First time was auto restart, second time was restart and hang at the LG screen.

I am using firmware version 10b. Apparently people from the Europe told me that there is not much difference between version a or b or c. It's just a difference in operator settings. However, I have people from Singapore telling me different otherwise instead. So I guess if you made a visit to Singapore, why don't try flashing the firmware, no harm done right?

I don't faced the same problem as stated by you. Why don't you use mass storage settings? The software bundled is craps. Most of the time I am using mass storage settings under USB connectivity. It's faster and easier, like plugging in thumbdrive. If you are still facing the problem, try hard reset. Before that, you should back up all contacts and calendars or whatever there is to backup. You will need to reassign groups once after the reset. You can do it through accessing the secret hidden menu.



Unfortunately no in this case. Hopefully the next software release will fix the common problems found in Viewty, although very unlikely LG is going to release new software.



There have been some problems with the few batches of production on Viewty, as referred to few pages back in this thread. You can get it done through replacement of the phone's board for free of charge, and that's if your phone is under warranty. It has completely nothing to do with the firmware.

Well I'll say it's valuable for the price tag. You get pretty good features from the phone. Since Viewty is my straight jump from my old school Nokia phone, I am sorry that I cannot provide comparisons between Nokia and SE phones to Viewty. However, I can tell you that I will prefer Viewty anytime to any Nokia and SE phones that I have come across, including N95. This is my self preference.


1. For problem 1, as mentioned, you can get it fixed through replacement of the PCB board. If you bought Viewty that was recently produced, there shouldn't be a problem with Viewty.
2. Unfortunately, that is the case. 5 seconds cut off. Please beware that there is no fix for this at the moment.
3. Screen respond? It's fantastic. I have nothing to complain against the touchscreen of the phone. It's just at the right spot.
4. Yep, unfortunately there is nothing you can do about this. Hopefully the next software release can fix things up a bit here.
5. Yes, it takes a long time to load the photo. For me, I just capture and view all these in computers later.
6. Haha, this is a very subjective matter. For people who have the skills, you can get very good pictures. For people like me, can't say anything la. If you want to view some samples, reply me. I will quote you some of the superb shots from this Viewty.
7. Camera protector? The KU990 comes with a plastic to cover the lens. It's a built in stock len. The ku990R comes with lens cover. However, the KU990R does not fix the already common problem on Viewty.

Nice n good feedback from Icehart here,,,make me feel once b4 buy..hehe..thanx a lot Icehart..but i got a few qstion too..huuuuu..



for problem 1 to 3,i think i got my answer..4,5..dis is disturbing me a lil bit..huuuu...6..yayaaya..dat required some individual skill..

7.

Is it true?cos i'm thinking of buying dis R version..wut common problem?firmware problem?screen respond?aiyakkk~!!



so how is other viewty users?can u help me?

thx for the details reply....im using v10b as well, will try the mass storage way to do a transfer, but im not visiting to Singapore lah, just bought from the forumer here which selling singapore set

Well loading videos is fast but loading pictures is totally disappointing compared to the SE and Nokia phone. I am not sure what is the problem, probably the picture size is too big? For a Super Fine quality picture, it easily reach 1mb per picture. Perhaps this could be the culprit. Anyway I am not too sure if buying SDHC memory card will solve this problem.

Anyway that shouldn't be a problem because the LCD is too small to see the picture because what you see from phone and what you see in LCD is a different story. The picture in the LCD may be sharp but in actual LCD it may be blur. That's the thing that has been playing in mind

I suggest you take the R version. What am I trying to explain that even though the R version come out later than the original 990 series, it does not fix the common problems faced by Viewty owners. In order to give you a clearer picture, you can try visiting the 990 forums.

Let me know your feedback when you are done.
I hope this will solve your problem.

well icehart..erm,can viewty being used with 8gb memory card?i'm goin to take the R version..but now ah..i really confused..huaaa...

According to the manual, you can't. But there are ways.

In order for the phone to support 8GB external memory, you will need to load up the memory with 6.1GB worth of files, movies, sounds and other files in order for the phone be able to read it. The phone can only detect your memory if it's less than 2GB. Hope this helps.
