Ringtone Producer

Looking for a robust mobile phone that will outlast oblivious abuse by it’s owners? Seems the LG Renoir can take it rough. It seems to be the upgrade from my LG KU990, which I’m still enjoying apart from the fact that it has some limitations (with new tech seemingly around the corner at all times). 5 Megapixels on the KU-990 is replaced with 8 megapixels and some trick functionality on the photography, sound (no Dolby branded) and GPS side.

Wish I could upgrade now! GPS functionality makes a huge difference as I’ve tried it out recently on a friend’s Samsung Omnia (with add-on Garmin GPS).

It seems everybody is jumping on the Widgets bandwagon, it’ll be interesting to see how LG opens up development for widgets so that LG users can also have access to the interesting types of apps that the iPhone developers community has come up with…

For the past 2 weeks my LG Chocolate phone has started giving me trouble in that the screen goes white when I open it up. Everything else works, it just seems to lose the connection to the screen or something. Obviously this is extremely frustrating and I’m looking for a software upgrade since my service provider said something about a software problem. Could it be because of a software bug, or is it a mechanical failure? If anyone knows anything about it, please comment over here!! Would love to solve this mystery!

I’ve had the phone now for a few weeks and have noticed a few things. The battery life is not good at all. I get 2 days max out of it. Maybe because there are so many cool features on it that use power!! Further I’ve started noticing that when I’m on the phone with someone it sometimes mutes the other person so I can’t hear what they’re saying. All in all still happy with the phone and have gotten some good compliments. That’s what funky cell phones are about right? A fashion accessory…

Ok, so I’d figured it out. MP3, WMA etc files are to be loaded into the music folder and MIDI, MMF etc are to be loaded into the ‘other’ folder for access on the cell phone. All these sound files can be loaded as ringtones but you can’t change the message tone, which is still incomprehensible, but anyway… I can’t browse the cell phone through bluetooth in windows explorer, but I could ‘send a file’ to the phone with my onboard bluetooth functionality, which automatically puts the file in the right directory on the cell phone, which is pretty nice. I also successfully transferred some JPG files to the phone and you can also set them as wallpapers. Nice…

At last, the long awaited upgrade for my cell phone. I decided on the LG KG800 for the simple reason that it’s so damn sexy and packs a mean punch.
