Questions about LX5550

[coadman]

My sons bought my wife a new phone for mothers day, a LG LX5550, but they lost the users manual before they got the phone sent to her :-(. I have done some reading on the internet, and have her up and running, but she has a few questions, that I cannot answer, and dont know if she is having a problem with her phone, or not? First off, she says the phone switches off on her, if it is left "untouched" for long periods of time. She works in a school and leaves the phone in her car, and when she comes out after work, it has been switched off. Her old "dinosaur" phone would stay on all day, and I guess she liked that aspect, as she says she forgets to turn her new one back on, and misses several calls. Is there a energy savings type setting on her new phone, that I can change, to keep her phone on at all times, and her happy? Also, she doesnt like the fact she has to flip the lid to see who is calling her, is there a setting that will display the number who is calling her on the outside of the phone? Thanks for any "help" you may be able to render!

Coadman,

I have not personally used the phone, but I'll try to offer some advice.

The phone might turn-off due to several reason.
First - its battery might be defective or too old to hold adequate charge. If you purchased the phone new, please contact your carrier and see what warranty you have on the battery.
Second - the phone does have an automatic power save mode, which is activated if the phone goes into an area where there is no service available. Once the power save mode is activated, the phone periodically searches for service. So, check is she has service where she leaves her car.

About the caller ID on the external screen - what does the display now when someone is calling?
