Great phone except one thing

....The LED is poor at best. If you wall mount this phone it is almost impossible to read the screen.
As a desk phone it is adequate. The light needs to be improved without question.
Other than that flaw, everything else about this phone is outstanding.
For the price, it's hard to complain.
I believe AT&T is aware of this LED problem and will correct it....their service is excellent!!!

I like this phone. Good range, good features, comfortable against my head, simple to use, good battery life, etc. But I can only give it four stars because it has two small problems.

Every once in a while when I'm speaking into it, the sound of my voice quits being transmitted through the speaker at my ear, making it seem as though the phone might have gone dead. The first time this happened, I was afraid my voice had been cut off completely, but, no, the other party could still hear me just fine. I've pretty much gotten used to that problem, and just ignore it when it happens since the conversation isn't really interrupted, but it's distracting and annoying.

Secondly, the redial list -- the listing of numbers I've recently called -- only holds the most recent six calls I've made, and doesn't record the date/time I made them. That seems odd to me since the phone keeps a listing of the 50 most recent *incoming* calls and their associated date/time. It seems to me that outgoing calls are as important as inbound calls, and should be recorded in similar fashion.

BTW, if you buy the phone, I recommend also getting the $6.00 Panasonic headset to use with it. Just plug that in, clip the phone on your pocket, and wander about the house hands-free. Very convenient and the headset works well.

Great phone,  love the form factor,  those super slim bezels are fantastic. After 3 weeks of usage my only two complaints  are the phone gets really hot really easily I'm guessing they didn't find a way to optimize the QHD  screen with the battery. And 2 while the phone looks great,  it's  super light plastic so any drop and it dents and scratches really easily so you def need a case or skin on it. Camera  is basic coming from a Samsung,  not alot of options or extras but photos are generally very nice, overall UI is  good no large amounts of bloatware,  I absolutely love knock code all phones should have this, especially to go straight into guest mode, simply brilliant. Samsung has more apps available for split screen and it does seem on the whole like LG has been copying Samsung in terms of its multitasking and UI features and lagging alittle behind in the implementation.  Overall I give this phone 4 starts for the gorgeous QHD screen  (though I still miss amoled)  brilliant form factor and solid battery life

This is an awesome phone.  I've never had any problems with it.  It's super fast and responsive.  The screen resolution is excellent and it takes better pictures than my FIL's $1,900 Sony camera.

I do have one gripe about what I consider to be an internal design flaw.  In the event of a relatively low drop from about 3 ft directly on it's front my friend had the S5 screen go blank.  It wouldn't respond to touch and was completely blank.  He asked me to look at it since it already had a small crack in in the corner of the screen and he couldn't get it warrantied.  You cannot access the display connectors on these phones from the back.  You have to remove the screen.  Using a hotplate, I warmed the display and gently separated the screen from the body.  I found that the display connector had come unplugged from the drop.  I plugged it back in and the display was working again.

Why in the world would Samsung make a phone where the connector is inaccessible like this and where there's enough space for it to pop free!!!  A simple piece of foam on the connector or the back of the screen would completely solve this issue.

A quick search shows several others having this same issue.  Some were able to get warranty coverage while others had to pay almost $200 to get them fixed.  It's really a simple repair that took 10 minutes.

Anyway...It's an awesome phone and I recommend it to everyone but don't drop it on its face!!!

Pretty good phone overall, great picture and both keyboards are easy to type on. The camera is really good, Windows Office is GREAT and really comes in handy,and never freezes or crashes on me. The only negatives I have are that there aren't many cool apps for the phone, the battery life is very short if your on it all day texting and on the web, and if the phone dies on its own, it resets your whole phone, deleting all of your pics and downloads.

I've been very happy with this phone. I got it because it has a headphone port and I need that for my work. The only complaint I have about this is that the port is covered by a rubber strip that is VERY difficult to move out of the way to plug in the headphones. It's a bit of a pain, but really a minor issue. Everything works well and the phone is rich with features. Good value.

Really great phone, nice menu options for answering machine, easy to set up and use. Excellent sound quality and cool look. My only request for ANY phone is the ability to BLOCK numbers, but those phones are few and far between. I do have that feature on another phone, just wish they ALL came that way! Don't you?

This phone is great. The screen is large and crisp, making movies and photos look amazing. The processor is fast, making the 4G on Verizon load as quickly as my home wifi. For it to be so large, the phone is quite thin and light. So far, the phone has been able to handle anything I throw at it. I use it as my portable sketchbook.

The only con I have is Samsung's My Magazine feature that keeps popping up when I accidentally hold the home screen too long or swipe from the bottom of the screen. It's very annoying as I do not use it.

These are great phones.  One problem can occur.  The screen may be too sensitive.  If so you need to return it.  There's no fix.

The memory is small and too many apps makes it buggy.

Great phone for the price, sensor is OOOOOOOON point, one thing though, when registering your finger, also do your left finger because you might pick it up with either hand.

This is great phone but has its disadvantages.  I've noticed the software has gliches from time to time.  I usually have to reset it once a day, and it freezes when I'm trying to make a call.

The phone works great...but BEWARE!!! It uses a weird charger. If I had realized I would've bought extra when I ordered it. Other than that it's a good solid phone and my daughter loves the color.

I am sorry to see such bad reviews for this phone because I bought it over a month ago and it has been great so far. However, the service i'm using is not T-Mobile so maybe it's the wireless provider.

The things I love about this phone are the relatively good picture quality, ability to download stuff,animations for text messaging and the recall feature when your call doesn't get through. I like all the features though. Plus it's real easy to find the applications you want to use. So far I haven't had a problem with the screen or ring tones.

The bad thing about is that it's hard to change the face when you're tired of seeing blue all the time. Plus, so many people are buying this phone I'm seeing it everywhere I go!

I've had a lot of fun with this phone so far.  I get all sorts of comments on it which is always a fun conversation starter and I love the bluetooth technology (although I have yet to figure out how to use it to the best of its capacity!)  For a high end phone though it does have a couple of problems.  First off, it is a little hard to hear people through this handset even when you have the volume adjusted to its highest (7).  I find this the most irritating.  I heard people alot better on my old crapy Nokia.  The second thing, also volume related, is the speakerphone.  It is not loud enough for you to actally put down the phone, so you are stuck holding the phone close to your face anyways just to hear the person and then close to your mouth when you speak so the other person can hear you.  Kind of a waste of "speakerphone" right?

Other than that I can't complain about this phone.  It takes great pictures, has really fun ringtones, and is just oh so cool to look at!

it's in perfect condition but the only bad thing is that whatever country this phone was from had it so that there's no way to turn the camera sound off and it's so frustrating. Other than that perfect phone! Delivered early.

Great phone for the price, had an LG optimus, which I loved the 3G network. LG Volt has 3G, 4G, LTD technology, really great for being out and about and being able to surf the web whenever the urge hits you, great navigation app that I downloaded and use often. The only con, which I should say 2 cons are: yes it is a phone with 8 GB internal memory, what they don't tell you is when you get the phone in your hands, and after all the pre loaded apps and operating system you only have 3.93 GB internal memory for your personal use. The second thing is, you can add at least a 64 GB micro sd card, I keep my audiobooks and pictures on the sd card, but the apps that are preloaded can't be moved to the sd card, and some of the apps you download can't be moved either. Fix this and I would give it 10 stars.
