LG Venus Review

The Venus by LG is Verizon Wireless’s latest music phone and is the successor to the Chocolate lineup. It is a slider, and moves beyond the heat sensitive buttons of 8500 series by adding a pressure-sensitive dynamic LCD display. The camera has been upgraded to 2.0 megapixels, but otherwise the features remain similar to the Chocolates. The Venus has a QVGA display, EV-DO data, microSD expansion and a heavy focus on music.

Disable Missed Call Sound Alert
Can someone please let me know how to disable the missed call alert sound. It's driving me crazy and is rather loud. I changed almost every setting I could find to "no ring" and it still alerts me when I missed a call. Please help

Voice mail issues
I have had my venus for about a month and i really like it. I can make custom rigntones on my mac and then but them straight to my phone. My previous phone Moto E815 couldn't do much with bluetooth so this phone is great. The pictures are clear but slow to load and and lag when zooming in. The speaker phone is great really loud and clear but i have a problem with the voicemail. The touch pad locks up when using speaker phone to and your voicemail. I set my voice mail # up as *86pp(my password) so that it will automatically input your password when calling. But the touch pad locks after my voice mail asks for my password and I can't hear anything. You then have to press any side button to unlock the touch pad and then you get audio again. The problem is that the audio never stops so when you unlock the phone you are in the middle of your voicemail session.

Missed call Alert?
My Venus does not have a missed call alert (with or without sound). How do I get it? Is there a software upgrade somewhere?

I have had my Venus (PINK!) for going on 3 months and it worked perfectly until last night. I am
having the same problem as Stephanie. The phone freezes up when i hit the space button when I text,
add a contact or add a note. I have to send one word texts to people which is driving both me and
the other people NUTS! I am off to the Verizon store tomorrow to see what can be done about this.
It is rediculous. And annoying as can be! My phone is pretty much useless now. man oh man!

I am having the same problem as Jen. What did the Verizon store say? I went to the local one here and he says he hasnt a clue why its doin it. He says he can send off for me to get a new one, but why would I want a new one that will do the same thing as the other one?

I've only had the Venus a few days. Would appreciate some help if anyone else has this going on. On incoming and outgoing calls the phone announces the service provider over the speaker before placing or receiving a call. I've tried everything but can't get it to stop; no idea if I'm even able to turn it off or if I'm stuck with it.

The cheap leather like back you talked about it great. It was designed so the phone would stay in your hand, not slide out of it and drop to the ground. The volume suck's and it's not just my phone. My girlfriend has the same phone and has the same problem.

Anyone know how to lock the phone so that when you set it down it locks? I've seen how to lock it upon startup but want it locked whenever I'm not using it (and the screen has gone black) to keep others from using it. Any suggestions??

I just got the Pink Venus just 4 days ago and I have to send it back already! I love the phone and I am so disappointed! I read the reviews and it doesn't sound as if anyone has had this problem, but I have no sound when I make or receive a call. The phone rings and I can hear my ringtones and stuff but when I answer or try to place a call, there is nothing. And here is the most bizarre thing, when you are on a call and unlock the phone, on the face of the phone, the middle circle is the "Speaker", the oddest thing is that this button has completely disappeared! When I tried to call and thought it was my headset, I tried to hit speaker and it was gone! Now the phone did drop, however, it slid off of my bed onto the carpeted floor, it wasn't like it fell hard on the pavement. I have no idea, Verizon said I may have gotten a bad phone but I am too scared to get another and go through this again. I may get the new Chocolate 3 as it is a clamshell and I feel will be better protected. Very disappointed, it is a sharp phone!
