I find it exasperating that there seems to be no fix to keep the backlight on in the callscreen and keep the keypad on. Once I got a menu and pressed speaker and the callpad disappeared and when I could enter no number it said no response received and hung up on me! Exasperating. I don't want to have to turn the phone back on every 10 seconds to see the callscreen keypad! How do you fix it?!!!
It's been a year since the last post. Hope you are still available. I have the LG Premier Pro LTE. And I wondered is this one you reviewed is lesser or an upgrade from mine? There is an Android app called "64" that will tell everything you thought you didn't need to know. Through that app I know I have Snapdragon, 64-bit, ARMv8. Here's the rip. It's actually a 64-bit arch but since it was sold in the time that there were still a lot of applications coming out in 32-bit it was sold in 32-bit mode. I suspect the salesperson went like , "Yes, it's 64-bit, but in 32-bit mode now so you can run all the current apps. But you can switch it when everything it 64-bit." It's takes a rocket scientist to switch it to 64-bit, EVEN, if it truly has all the native programs present it needs to go from 32>64. So the screen is cracked. I just found out it could take conservatively $70 for a repair. I can get this one you have for $39 refurbished. Even that seems a little high for a 2 year old, and old technology. But I didn't necessarily want to buy down. Apologies for the length here. So is it more than what I have?
Just bought this phone for my mom. Hopefully I can adjust it enough to work for her. This is her first phone so I’m sure it’ll do just fine for her usage. It will mostly be used for phone calls anyway.
Any ideas why when I hit the start button to turn on the phone it opens a screen with a toolbar down the left side and an emergency call icon that has to be swiped to "unlock" position, then you swipe screen again to unlock and enter your password.
I made an unboxing video on a phone called the TCL A2X. I think I showed how to disable that feature. If you want just check out that unboxing and hopefully that'll help. Please let me know.
@@cvtechreview after some searching, it came to be some sort of app installed called "start". I deleted it and now it's all good! Thanks for you're videos and responses!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 that my battery is dying is on it's last legs. I don't want to spend a lot on another phone. I mainly use it for Facebook and RUclips. I was wondering how this phone compares to my Samsung Galaxy S6. Thank you in advance, I'm not tech savvy in fact I don't know half the things you were talking about :)
@@dawntest5776 It's been a while since I used a Galaxy S6, but if you want a phone just mainly for social media then I would say this is a good choice. RAM is rather low, but it does have stereo speakers, a nice display, and good battery life. And yes you can add an SD card for more storage.
I like the phone a lot. But I don't play games. RUclips - Google Email etc...buy a screen protector and decent case plus keep it clean. Make sure you keep the apps from running in the background and it works fluid. I do most " big things " on my Windows PC so I'm happy with this phone. For the price it's extremely nice. The screen and size are perfect for me.
I'm with you. Have you checked the Android version on your phone recently ? My phone suddenly has Android 10 on it now and I don't know how that could happen.
When I go to my regular messenger, not facebook messages, how do I get back to home screen, I can't figure out how without turning it off and restarting the phone?
Interesting that you mentioned the LG L455DL phone comes with Android 9 ie Pie I could have sworn that is what came with my phone but I noticed earlier tonight it has Android 10 on it now (?) Is that possible ?
I've had this phone for about a year and a half, 2 days after I got it my front camera stopped working and I cant seem to find anything to fix it. I don't want to do a hard reset if I don't have to, I'd rather just get a new phone if that is my only option. Any suggestions would be so appreciated. Please?! Thanks in advance! ❤️
I probably should have bought this over the moto g7 play because this has stereo speakers dual camera and bigger battery but the g7 play probably would be better with performance
The Helio p22 is on par with the snapdragon 625. Swapping it out for a 450 would hurt the performance. At least it's a p22 and not an a22. Also it's not metal, the giveaway is it's back doesn't get cold. IDK why it says metal in the descriptions. It's also decent for gaming. I've got WOT blitz running at 40fps with everything on high.
I have to disagree with the P22 being on par with the SD625. I have a few phones with the 625 that, in my opinion, would blow away the P22, but I do agree that the A22 would be much worse. I have an unboxing coming out tomorrow or Tuesday that runs the A22, so I'm kinda interested to see how it does. Yeah I think that "all metal build" is a bit deceiving. I was just going by what the specs said.
@@cvtechreview IDK I had a phone with a snapdragon 425 in it which is sorta 1 step bellow the 450 and that thing was very slow and couldn't game at all. And at least according to notebook check the p22 keeps up with the 625 in a few tests.
Also this charging cord is way too short! They could give at least 5 feet, but this looks more like barely 3 feet and hardly reaches from the floor to the desk. It pulls up stuff constantly which I don't want to see when just handling it. I want a phone that only pulls up stuff when I command it to.
"Stereo Speakers for $79." Now we need NFC for under $140. I'm watching this on the K51 in bed and BOY the Stereo Speakers are immersive - I'm a sound guy at heart... My Mom gave me it, etc.

Hey @CV Tech does it have smartview or screen mirroring?

I only need it to fly my HS120 Drone. Which is a budget drone. My phone is a Galaxy s8+

Hello. I know it's been a while since your comment, but just wondering how the phone was working out?
My data network is not working...what should I do?
Red light blinks on my phone, is that normal? Thanks for sharing.
Does this phone have a removable battery?
No. The battery is not removable.
Does this phone use verizon towers?? and does it have a blinking notification light to let you know you have a missed text of call???
Yes it does work on the Verizon network.
I can't remember if it had a notification light. I would check, but I no longer have that phone.
@@cvtechreview Thanks for answering so quickly... I always check your videos before I get a new phone. I appreciate your reviews :-)

Thank you so much for your quick reply and your help.
Do they have Android 10 for this phone

I'm with you.

My phone suddenly has Android 10 on it now
and I don't know how that could happen.
I'm having problems opening the sim tray how do I fix this?
Hello. I haven't upgraded for a couple years. I am rocking the an old Galaxy J7 Crown. Do you think the LG would be a decent replacement?
Yesssss
I recommend the LG Stylo 5
If it's on the Verizon network, why does it have at&t symbol on back of phone. Can the SIM card be switched out? CDMA or GSM Please reply. thank you
That symbol under the fingerprint scanner is the TracFone Logo.
@@cvtechreview I'm very sorry. It looked like AT&T. Can the SIM card be switched out? CDMA or GSM Thank you
@@sherryleeperdue9576 TracFone is one of, if not the biggest phone carriers
Is it better than galaxy a11?
Does the phone have hotspot?
You have to purchase a plan with a hotspot. My plan is $55 with unlimited text call data...and a 10gbits hotspot.
When I go to my regular messenger, not facebook messages, how do I get back to home screen, I can't figure out how without turning it off and restarting the phone?
I upgraded from 3G to this.. Waiting for the phone to arrive. Sure hope I can learn all this. Thank you so much.
Is this a 4G phone ?
Interesting that you mentioned the LG L455DL phone comes with Android 9 ie Pie
I could have sworn that is what came with my phone but
I noticed earlier tonight it has Android 10 on it now (?)
Is that possible ?
Thanks for this...bought one brand of LG fone for brother, been 2 yrs, speakers going out...will look into this one for Xmas...
i got this phone from someone and as a frp lock and i cant get passed it
Would it be worth the money to choose to reflect instead?
Unless you want a bigger display and 1 extra gig of ram. I definitely don't think spending nearly double the money would be worth it.
@@cvtechreview I may just get the a20. Probably a much better phone
@@jltcdm369 Yeah the A20 is $149 for Straight Talk on the Walmart website. Same as the Reflect and the A20 is much better from what I can remember.

Budget phone will gimp the OS due to the internal specs. Android 10 will require a little more horsepower under the hood
I probably should have bought this over the moto g7 play because this has stereo speakers dual camera and bigger battery but the g7 play probably would be better with performance
I just got this phone. Thanks for the positive review. Im simple so its fine for me

Nice
That’s a long a$$ name lol 😂
Lol yeah I know right.
Like an iPhone 11 Pro Max
This phone should have been $49.99 at that $80.00 price Samsung A01 is much better.
