It seems like everyone is texting these days, from teenagers to titans of business. The LG Rumor Plus is a great gift idea for the young and young at heart. This smart, attractive horizontal slider boasts a spacious and comfortable fully QWERTY keypad, allowing for thumbs of fury or hunt and peck...

Try press and holding both power button and volume down button at the same time. Let us know if that works.

In Depth

Deviating from the standard alphanumeric and QWERTY keypad combo found on previous Rumour-branded handsets, the LG Rumour Plus (aka Neon 2) now sports a 2.4-inch touchscreen display. An enhancement for sure, don’t be fooled. This is not your typical touchscreen phone.

This touchscreen can only be used when dialing a number. For everything else, there are the touch-sensitive soft keys below its display and slide-out QWERTY keypad you’ll need to use for navigation and data entry.

That said; this phone does pack enough bang for the buck. It has an average 2-megapixel camera around back, Bluetooth with A2DP support, and the best part in our opinion, 3.6Mbps HSDPA connectivity, making it one of the more compact and affordable HSPA handsets on the market today.

There is a lot left to be desired in this phone, but overall what you get with the LG Rumour Plus is an easy to use HSPA-enabled device that’s light on the pocket, both literally and figuratively speaking.

Hi Rayvon. Unfortunately, the Rumor Plus does not have this feature. You can contact your carrier instead to inquire if they're offering any call or text message blocking service.

Upon checking the manual, on page 81, it says that you simply have to connect your phone to the computer using a USB cable and it should appear as a removable device. If that doesn't work, you just remove your memory card and insert it to your computer's card reader. It's the same as using a USB cable.

Must be a bug in the software. Restart your phone and try taking pictures again. See if you can now. If you still can't, I would suggest you do a Master Clear. It will restore your phone back to default settings and delete all user data in your phone and memory card. To do a Master Clear: Go to Settings > Security > Reset Settings > Master Clear

You need to contact LG to inquire where you can get a replacement for the back cover of your phone.

The best way to do this is to call your wireless provider's customer care to seek assistance in activating your phone. They should tell you what to do in case you don't have the ESN number for your phone.
