LG Rumor / User Reviews

I have had this phone for 3 years now and I really, really wanted to love it. Actually, I did for the first few weeks, then it started shutting off randomly, even when fully charged. I know this is definitely not an isolated problem, judging from the comments on this page, as well as from what the employee... More

i have had my rumour for 3 years, and its been threw hell and back and it still works fine.

battery is ok pretty shit.. All this phone does is shuts off I droped it a lot and it still was good so pretty durable idk I don't recommend buying it

Ive been threw three of these phones in the past year, recently after sliding the keyboard open I got the usual white screen of death. Ive also had issues with it randomly turning off, overall a rather terrible and lousy phone. I would not recommend it!

Believe everything that owners of this phone say is wrong with it!!
1. Shuts off in the middle of a call or texting
2. "UNLOCKS" and phone numbers in my call list.. so much so I have to turn it off a lot.
3. Loses a full charge within 24hrs with little or no use...So often I had to purchase... More

I've had my Rumour now for close to 2 yrs. It kept shutting off also so about 3 months ago I called Bell and asked for help. It was long and drawn out. I had to reset all so lost everything in it. I also noticed dust particles inside the battery cover so I cleaned that. Since then my Rumour is... More

Nice design, but after only a few months of use the LG Rumour keeps shutting off on its own. It is unusable and such a disappointment and waste of money. Right now it is in for repairs as it is still under warranty but I am not hopeful that it will be fixed. I will never buy LG again! And I'm... More

I had this phone for a year, and it was the 1st phone I ever had, so I thought it was awesome at first. But then after a few months it would randomly turn off and the keyboard function would randomly turn on by itself so I couldn't type letters, so I would have to exit out of the message and start... More

So this is the first phone I have ever owned. Don't get me wrong, its a decent phone. But the Camera is completely horrible. And yes I have the same problem as you people. I thought it was just me. The phone shuts off randomly, like when ur sending a text or whenever. I had this phone for over a... More

I had this phone for three years and it has yet to break down. My phones usually take a beating and ive dropped it countless times. It was stepped on by a hockey skate and survived with just a broken screen. The software issue where it turns off every once in a while is a little annoying, but its not... More

True, the full QWERTY keyboard is a handy feature to have. And the phone does have a multitude of features for the basic cellular user. It also takes decent pictures and video clips.

However, the issues I've had with this thing shutting off at random is more frustration than one should tolerate.... More

Pros: I have dropped my phone many times and it has yet to break
Cons: My phone began to randomly turn off after just a few months of owning it. It'll turn off in the middle of a text and it's the most frustrating thing ever! This has happened to several of my friends who also have this phone.... More

I initially purchased the phone for my daughter two years ago and liked it enough to buy one for myself too. The problem with both phones is that the "flex cable" has broken at various times on each phone. The function of the "flex cable" is to keep the screen connected when you... More

Ohk, i have had my rumour for almost 4 years now, i have dropped it plenty of times -on cement, on tile, on ice, on the road.. haha everywhere! & it still works great. I have NO complaints at all. But i think it all depends on your service provider, mine is Sasktel.
I know everyone who bought a virgin... More

I've had the LG Rumour for almost 2 years now. The first few months, I liked it, especially the keyboard. Then, like everyone else, it started to shut off by itself. I would take it out of my pocket, and it would be off. This would happen up to about 15 times a day. Then, it would call someone from... More

Less than 1 year into the phone all the words were reversed.If you wanted to see what the text said you had to hold it up to a mirror.When taking it to Virgin Mobile Service depot they said it happens quite frequently and it is a software problem.From there it went downhill.Screen sometimes came on sometimes... More

I would avoid LG Brand - It Broke on two Occassions within 6 Months. The Software caused the Screen to go black. The customer service is equally Poor.

Don't Buy This Phone --- I will Avoid LG BRAND Products from this experience.

I've had this phone for about a year now and at first, it didn't seem like it had any flaws because I wouldn't use as much, but when I started to frequently text and call people the battery life wouldn't last long. As soon as my phone starts to vibrate and ring for a phone call/text... More

i really like my rumor, overall i have no complaints about anything , however, i don't like where the question mark is on the qwerky and i HATE the predictive option, it is so annoying that when i am texting and typing and it overrides what i want to type, and its a pain to have to turn it off all... More

I've had this phone for just over a year now and have only just started having problems. The phone shuts off halfway through writing a text message on the keyboard and/or when I close it.

I'm sure I won't be able to exchange it since it's been about 13 1/2 months that I've had... More
