LG VX-8300

Do you need the music essential kit?? What does it do??

Some ppl need to understand the 8300 is only 250 full retail!!!!!!, come on now ppl this is amazing phone for that $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


What was full retail on the 8000, 8100 four hundred what 😁

I kant wait till i get mine 2morrow!!!

but can u listen 2 your mp3 player with the phone closed and can u access them with the phone closed?????

please respond 🙂

What's the deal w/ the memory cards??

can you transfer ringtones from the memory card to the phone without having to mail them you your phone ... Also if anyone knows the amount of reserved memory for ringtones, pix and flix that would also be a big help for me ... Thanks.

I guess enough people liked the 8300 that verizon decided to double the price from $50 to $100 tonight. 🤣

if you go to the card memory in the phone, and then to options, there is an option for formatting, and also you can format when the card is in the computer, what does this do???

Can anyone tell me what type of video you can put on the lg8300. Or is there any web site to get them. Or can you put your own on? I have a 1 gig memory card and would be fun to do.

Thanks, Steven in California

I talked with lg yesterday and they did confirm the phone supports a2dp for those of you still wondering.looking at the sony hbh-ds970 headphones myself anyone know about them?

Anxious to play with the 8300 as I did the 7000, I filed down my USB cable and connected it to BitPIM. So far so good, phone recognized (a little downward pressure needed as the cable filing wasn't perfect.) I was able to copy pics/music/rings. At some point I filled up the phone with junk. I start to erase a lot of stuff both via the phone and through BITpim and uh-oh, my memory on the phone still reads 100%. No matter how much I erase, it's stuck there. Now I can't get the computer to recognize the phone any more. I tried a reset (under security) and when it reboots, no changes occurred except it seems that my sound, theme and wallpaper preferences have been reset to factory. All my remaining data is still there. It sounds like th...

Has anyone else had problems accessing their MP3's from the front buttons? A friend of mine has the 8300 and when he holds down on the play button it just says "no songs found". We know that there are MP3's on the card because we can access them thru the menus.
Could he possibly have a bum phone? Or does the 8300 not have this feature?

My wife and I just got 2 8300s to replace our 3200s. We live in a strong signal area and our 3200s always got the maximum number of signal bars. With the 8300s, my wife's phone still gets 4 bars at our house, but mine consistantly only gets 2 bars. We spend a lot of time at a campground where there is a weak signal and I am concerned that I will not be able to get a connection with my phone. We will not be there for another week or 2. Does this difference in signal strength seem strange and should I return my phone for a replacement?

Is there a way to put the songs i have on my SD card as ringtones? or anyway to get songs that i have downloaded on my computer to my phone as ringtones? thanks

Anybody using a Mac to make and send ringtones?

I've tried converting MP3s from iTunes to AIFF and importing them to Garageband. Once there I cut them down to less than 30 seconds and then send them back to iTunes, convert them back to MP3, and then send them as an attachment to my phone.

It works, but the sound is pretty bad.

Suggestions?

Any other Mac related help for the 8300 would be good, too.

Thanks!

How does playing/listening to MP3 songs from the 8300 affect the battery? Would it be the same effect as talking on the phone?

How about using the speakerphone? Does that use more battery? I can't tell from my own use so far.

I can't tell if I should trade this phone in (battery doesn't seem to last like my 6000) and get another 8300. I love all the features but I am reducing my use (e.g., the animated features, customized UI) because I have already recharged my phone 4 times in this period with normal use. I have been accustomed to having it on 24/7. My other 6100 battery was great for the two years but of course, no speakerphone, songs, etc.

I have reviewed the battery comments others have made and I am not sure how I sho...

I just got my new LG VX8300 phone from Verizon on Saturday. I was wondering if anyone else has had a problem with crackly reception. My husband bought the Motorola e815 and he called me on my phone and the reception was pretty fuzzy. I called from my cell to our home phone and it was just as fuzzy. Has anyone else had this problem? Or could it just be that particular phone that I received?

Thank you! 🙂

thanks

I have been told VZW Tones Deluxe or w/e its called is a good app for ringtones but i can't find it on this phone. Does anyone else know a good app where i can get real music ringtones? It doesn't need to be full length either, i just don't want it to be polyphonic or w/e its called.

Anybody know if there's an EQ in this phone? i read a reference to it in a review, but can't find it in the menu....

Since spekaerphone doesnt work with flip closed like i am used to on my e815, does it work with flip closed while on bluetooth headset? can i close the phone and not loe the call?
