It is so long since we had this phone -- briefly! -- that I can no longer answer specific questions about it. But I can say for certain that it was trash.

Hi, return this one. I bought a different one for my parents. I didn't like this one because it was too difficult for my parents to use.

I have never faced this problem myself. I'm using this phone for almost two years, and the only reason I can think off is that you may be accidentally using the hold call key.

I think it's a mixed with whoever sends you the phone because I had absolutely no problem and when I bought my boyfriend's iPhone it took multiple calls and emails for help because the service wasn't putting service and it took the other phone's service as well.. but because his phone showed the pervious owners and my didn't. I think whenever you buy it, contact the seller and ask how long ago did he/she cancel the service because it takes 3-6 weeks to remove pervious information.

I have never heard this problem before. Batteries? Possibly a defect? My mobile turns off automatically. Try taking the batteries out of the remote control

Nothing useful to add unfortunately. I have just bought mine, charged up the battery, and now it keeps turning itself on and off. I was going to try leaving out the battery, but will also try a firmware download, as suggested. Thanks.

Your problem sounds unlikely that the switch is at fault since you claim the phone rings although the phone is dead, apparently with no dial tone. Since the two wires from the phone jack are both disconnected by the toggle switch, it is virtually impossible for that to happen.I suggest you probably have a phone with a battery or batteries in it as any phone with a display has. What you are probably hearing is a ring indicating that your battery needs changing. Similar to a cell phone.

My suggestion is to power the phone off remove the battery and wait a minute, replace the battery and the power up... If it doesn't solve it I'd say there's an issue in the phone itself.

I had the same problem and the next day they ended up braking. It should turn off on its own, if not I believe their is a small button you would have to press with a pin. Anyways I upgraded to some MeElectronics and they working great and battery life is terrific. Sound is easy better then these as well.

We had two, and experienced constant issues with the phones shutting down. They would shut down like as not any time you snapped them shut, were trying to text, or twisted/ bumped them in any way. I read that LG had issues with the battery connectors on this phone, and I think normal use of the phone, like opening/ closing the cover caused the battery to briefly disconnect. Great other than it shut off constantly, and if you did not notice it off, you missed calls. Maybe they eventually fixed it, but Verizon just gave us some BS when we brought it to their attention( no longer with them!)

I am wondering the same thing, I don't think it is possible to stop it. i will be sending it back because of this unless someone has a solution. My family is ready to kill me, the stereo is always on and every time I walk upstairs or back, or drive away or come back home my phone automatically connects and it makes the loud noise through the stereo.

I had a similar situation with that phone. The guy at the independent cell phone store unlocked it and added a t-mobile line to the phone. At that time, the phone worked on voice calls and text. However, the picture messages did not work. That was not the major problem.......That phone was unable to connect to the internet. Therefore, it tried to connect the entire time it was powered on. Draining the battery in minutes and overheating when I charge the battery.Please be sure ALL of the functions are working properly before you leave the store!

I dont believe it turns off on its own. We use it plugged in so our iphone 3g never shuts off.

Hi, I am sorry to hear that. What kind of problems are you having with your phone? I advise you contact the seller and let them know that something is wrong with it.

its likely that the battery might be old in the phone before you bought the phone.who knows how long the battery been manufactured my suggestion is to buy a new battery and see how it works.i didnt have that problem i used it every dayits likely the battery might be too old
