LG Volt

Oh funny, I'm so used to installing Skype on older devices I just installed without looking to see if it was already there.

Absolutely amazing battery on the Volt!

Voice Mate is frustrating to use. "I'm sorry but the Voice servers are busy right now please try again later." Genie is no Cortana!

Those who want the notification light to go away it can be turned off in Settings/Display. It was driving me nuts as it was always blinking and I couldn't figure out why.

My goodness this phone has a long battery life! I'm going on 4 days on one charge and it's only at 50%!

Just curious why anyone would want to carry around local FM radio? The reason I bought a tablet and smart phone was to get away from terrestrial radio. (Tune in radio app and Bluetooth speakers).

Because wifi doesn't exist when I'm walking down the street. TuneIn is worthless without wifi. I use FM radio everyday and I'm glad it's in the Volt.

No thanks - I always listen to the radio without headphones.

Two words. Power Outages. Where we live we have them alot. No power, No WiFi so I turn on the radio and wait for Duke to fix it. My SGPs have FM Radio built in and I thinks important for severe weather too. Not to mention you can listen to local sports. Tune In does not have every radio station either. Some radio stations have requested removal plus no buffering issues or poor feed qualities to deal with.

Wow that is some headpiece! Good way to make yourself a target.

My case is here! It's not bad but I wouldn't get it again.

It's two pieces. The rubber part is suppose to black but it looks like black with dust on it. It's also shedding a little. It's too soft and attracts dirt but the second piece is well made hard plastic and I like it. It will protect very well but it adds some weight, maybe too much more than I like.

Well there's one I won't get. Still deciding what I want for protection.

I have a similar one for my Fire Phone and yeah I wont get that one again either. It could be a great case if the rubber part was stiffer and fit more snug.

Thank you! Now I won't have to turn it upside down when I'm not using it.

You can also turn off the Knock on feature which I find buggy. I find the Volt screen flickers when brightness below 25%. I think turning this feature off helps for some reason. It still flickers but not as bad.
