LG Tribute User Manual

I have an lg tribute and I can't install any programs on my SD card I believe the problem is the operating system was installed without the SD card and the operating system created A mount point Called SD card now that I've put all my programs on my notice they're all in that folder and nothing is using my sd card my sd card is functional I've copied moved and deleted files on my SD card but I can't install any programs to it and even when I change the default of programs doesn't go to the SD card it goes to the mount point SD card which is on the internal storage of the device I am a Linux user and I believe what's happened just when the system was installed it created amount. SD card to emulate a second drive because there was not a second drive . am I gonna have to reset the machine with the SD card installed thank you for any input

I am having the same problem. Yes I can go to storage then apps and move SOME apps to the SD card but I CANNOT figure out a way to get apps installed right to the SD card!! There has to be a way to do this? I only have 4 gb on the phone and used most of it I have like NO space to download new apps onto my phone but have 30gb of space on my micro sd card!!!! Can someone PLEASE help me out I don't know what or how to do! please email me a response because I am so lost with this phone and this sd card thing!!! PLEASE HELP! !!!!

i was able to move an app to my sd card using this procedure: * tap on storage. *tap on apps *when that screen comes up, quick tap on the app. *scroll down and look for box which says move to sd card. *if that box is lit, the app can be moved. a word of caution, though. the entire app is not moved to the sd card. only some of it. i think this is because the phone itself needs certain things in the app software itself to start the app quickly. *if the app box is not lit, look for box which says manage space and follow those instructions.

Had the same issue. Please try the following steps: 1. Charge phone to 30% or higher. 2. Click storage, scroll down to erase sd card and click erase. This actually formats sd card to your phone. 3. Click unmount, then click mount. Restart phone. 4. Click on storage, then apps. Select app and select move to sd card. 5. Wait 2-3 mins. Swipe over to sd card. App should now be listed under sd card.

Although you can move some apps to the SD card after the fact, many of them you cannot. I'm finding it impossible to install any new apps onto my LG tribute because of this design faulter that I have not had with any of my previous Androids. If anyone has any kind of solutions I will promise them my first born.

I have the same issue discussed above: Unable to move apps to my SD card on the LG Tribute. I see in the discussion that some users are able to move some apps. I am not able to move any. For every app, the Move to SD card button is grey and is not functional. Any recommendations?

I have the same problem..i have a 8gb sd card inserted and im unable to download any apps.. The app im trying to get is 1.98gb. I keep getting the same quote insuffient storage please free up space...can somebody help me how to instal apps using your sd card on lg tribute Pleasee??

Mynlg tribute says insignificant storage. I had snapchat, kik, Instagram, YouTube, and hungry shark, on my phone. I have a 30 gig memory card. My phone said no space left. So I slowley deleted my apps. Now I have 200 mb on internal memory. And snapchat is 27.5 it then says it can't download. Why is this????????

I just got a SD card put it in my phone moved apps and music to SD card then something happened about format? And now I can't mount my SD card and don't have anything that i moved to the SD card can anyone help??

I'm having the same issue. No space, deleted apps and cache, moved apps to my sd card and now i HAVE space but can't download any thing. Is this an issue particularly with the LG TRIBUTE phone?? It seems that way...any progress?

When SD card is installed in your phone, apps usually installs there if possible.I suggest after installation of an app, check if it's movable to SD card. Go to Settings > Apps > choose an App > check if option 'Move to SD card' is available

I keep getting the insufficient space to down load my spps and I have a 16 gb external SD card. I moved everything that it will let me put on the external SD card.

Same here... I really hope that it will work out...Sorry I'm not much help but that's okay. Hopefully we can figure it out...

How can I put my pictures and videos and music to my SD card on my LG Trubite 5 k7

Hi, i am unable to move some apps to SD card...

Glad it did! Thanks for confirming it! Cheers!

How do i put my music on my sd card

This worked for me. Thank you Carl!

I'm having the same problem on my formerly-perfect phone. Forget google+ -- if you read their license agreement, they collect and conglomerate info on you from everywhere, and take it over. Google insisting that we install google+ to play a static image file on our own device, is ridiculous. It is as bad as in the old days, in Windows 95 (1995) when Microsoft did a similar thing -- if you tried to open a sound file on your computer, even though you ALREADY HAD an app to read/play it that came with the system and was installed, Windows 95 would tell you that you had to get online to be able to play it and you had to get a MSN online account to play it — which I believe was not free (I don’t know, I never did it) and which also gathered data from any sources they could find. It’s equivalent to a detective using your IP address and computer info they get electronically from your using them, and also name, email address, birthday, location, and any other information you give them, to make assumptions about you and gather it all together and count it as you, and then sell it to their affiliates (also, google+ automatically creates “circles” of people, and anyone can “follow” you so that they are notified if you post anything, but you have no say over who follows you even after they do it, so if you have a stalker or a crazy ex, good luck with that). Is it really worth seeing a few pictures to give away your identity like this? I now understand why google took out the famous don't be evil because now they are copying the Evil Empire. Shame on them, not that they care. If more people would stand up for ourselves, google and their ilk would not be able to get away with shady business practices like this.

I'm having the same issue. file type not supported when opening pictures. I can take pictures with the camera and share them to social media and they work fine, but cannot open them.I find it strange that so many people are having this problem and not one single suggestion to fix it. Other than install a third party app. No thanks. I want my phone to work as it is supposed to. Not hey download another app to fix a phone that is supposed to work from the factory.

Same problem LG Tribute is a piece of crap. Poor memory cannot download apps to sd card unless rooted? More bs and worthless camera and the phone itself has no idea how much free memory it has one app says like 1.2 gigs another app says 586 mb free on internal memory yet, it cannot download a game which is a whooping 3.25 mb

Its so weird. The same problem is happening to me but i dont know why. Every image is saying file type not supported when i try to open the picture. I tried restarting the phone but that didnt work. I just dont want to restart the phone to the factory settings. Anything but that.

Frickin' bullcrap. I hate stupid takeover apps. Frickin' uncontrollable all in my business stupid apps I don't even want causing my pictures to not work. This is idiotic & frickin' governmental on a China level. I used to like Google. Stupid Google+...should call it Google-. Frickin' Google Negative...

I had the same problem after disabling the Google+ app. Very puzzling and frustrating problem, until I remembered messing with some apps a couple days before. Once I enabled the app, my pictures began to display on my phone again. Make sure Google+ is enabled.

Thanks for the solution, pictures are working now after enabling Google plus again. I felt the need to disable it because the phone ran out of memory after it was installed. It all works now hope memory isn't starved.

Your google+ needs to be enabled. I had my disabled and my pictures kept saying file not supported. Just enabled it and all my pictures are working just fine

Thanks for the help- Same problem- as soon as I re-enabled Google+, it went back to normal. Agree with the previous poster about the memory issue.

Re-enabling google+ helped. But this is somewhat unfair that I am forced by Google to run the service I actualy don't want to.

thanks Andi i just enabled google + and it works again.. i dont quite understand why we had to do that, but at least it is working again.

But what if google+ isnt in your phone how will you go about it then ?

Hey guys, try installing a 3rd party gallery app. Let us know if you can view it by doing that.

Screenshot method on LG Tribute is USELESS !!! The powet bar covers the top third of the shot, so it's ruoned....didn't ANYONE CHECK THIS FUNCTION ?? ABSOLUTELY STUPID !!!

YaY, thanks! Works great, you position your finger between the bump (power/lock button) and the dimple (vol down button), and press

Press and hold Volume down key & Power key at the same time. If that doesn't work, visit Google Play and download screenshot apps.

It's actually the power down key and the power key but it's all good I figured it out. Thank I.

I need help does anyone know how to take a screen shot on a lg tribute

1.Add a folder as ringtones in file manager. 2.Copy or move the downloaded song into that folder. 3.Now go to settings>ringtones &notifications >ringtone.. There you can see the downloaded song. 4. Select as a ringtone... Enjoy ur favorite song as ringtone

Simple as first answer, long touch the song and copy it, paste it on ringtones folder.Go to settings- sounds & Notifications-ringtones-select the song ( copied song would appear now).

1. Go to Settings > Sound > Ringtone & Notifications > tap Phone ringtone 2. Select the ringtone you want to use. Note: Ensure that the audio files you wish to use have been transferred in the Ringtones folder

You have to delet the music folder and make a new play list add all the downloads and name the playlist music

My phone is lg max 160 I can't change put any film song as ringtone Only default ringtone could be choosed

How copy that song

I figured it out! My gallery was set to save my photos to my SD card. If this is your setting, the photos will NOT delete. This is what I did: 1. Sort through your gallery and delete the useless photos and duplicates. 2. Upload your photos to a Cloud, Dropbox, etc. 3. Unmount SD card 4. Connect your SD card to your computer and delete the pictures!Even though I connected it to my computer, they still didn't want to delete. So, I connected the SD card back into my phone and ERASED it. Just know, any photos, music, apps you have on it will be permanently gone. After a restart to test it, the photos are no more! (Almost 700) And please, it is imperative that you BACK UP your photos! Good luck!

First, I want you to backup your photos to a computer. After that go to Settings > look for Gallery, tap it > tap Clear data. Check your gallery if there are still photos after that, if there is, delete it from there. Let me know if that works.

This was driving me crazy too, but I finally found a solution! The only way to remedy this issue is to download a gallery app (I did Gallery KK) & delete pics through that. It works! I hate this phone!

Just go to File Manager, I deleted mine from there. Yes the photos were on my SD card, but it got rid of them.

There is no Gallery to tap on the Tribute

I suggest contacting Virgin Mobile first to know if you are eligible for phone unlocking. > The device has not been reported as lost or stolen or otherwise flagged as ineligible to be unlocked > The device has been active on the associated account for at least 12 months with the account active at that time Source

Im planning to buy a Virgin Mobile - LG Tribute 2 with No Contract . How and where can I unlock it? Buying it from US to be taken to India as a gift for someone .

How about answering the question 1 adult to another? Not the schoolMARM to the naughty kids?!? Of course I've ALREADY asked the CO.---- AND NOW...???? NEXT step?

okok

Tried the Settings --> Apps --> thing. Found no manage apps feature, just 4 apps listed. One was uber.com , the others were unfamiliar to me. I'M try to delete pics b/c when someone sends me multimedia pics in messaging, the previously saved (and completely unrelated) are displayed, instead.

Try this: Go to Settings ➔ Applications ➔ Manage Applications. Go to All tab. Look for Gallery and tap on Clear data.Back up all your media files (photos, videos, audio) before doing this just to be on the safe side.

I was having the same problem. I went through file manager to delete the photos. Now let's see if that works....permanently

Omg this is so frustrating, I need this to be answered as well

When I press the small right button on camera app and hold it the picture appears but disappears upon finger release. How does one scroll through gallery

How does one scroll thru photos taken on lg tribute. When I press bottom right area on photo it doesn't stay on.please help

Help

Simply open Gallery app on your phone. :)

Im trying to screenshot and i cant. I dont know where my volume button is on my phone. Can someone tell me exactly how to screenshot and where the buttons are?

Press and hold volume down key + power key for about 3 seconds. If that didn't work, you have to install a screenshot app.

Its the volume down key and the power button not volume up. I just experimented and figured it out

How can i make my screenshots not blurry

Something was eating all the bytes on my phone, but here are a few things I did and overnight I regained 580MB of free space! First, I went to SETTINGS>STORAGE>MISC., I looked at the temporary files I no longer needed. You can simply click on the little check boxes of what you do not need. Some files were stuff from Facebook like Nametests, or even other crap I did not need. Be careful not to delete stuff you DO need. Second, I went into my Apps. Same method as above(SETTINGS>APPS) and took a look at what could be eating my storage space. As I mentioned before, I had no other app on my LG at the time except for Kindle. NOTE: If you have the Kindle App and it is taking too many bytes, Go to your Kindle App, press and hold down on the book cover until you see some options pop up. Click Remove Item from Device- this will remove the book from your phone, but not the cloud. That will free some space guaranteed. Now, back to the APPS area: make sure you clear the cache of each app too. Not CLEAR DATA, just CLEAR CACHE. Clearing data will remove all your stored info for that app. You can get there by doing this: SETTINGS>APPS>CLICK ON APP>Scroll down to CLEAR CACHE of each app of your choosing. I cleared the cache of my Chrome app, Hangouts dialer, Kindle, etc. Third, if that isn't freeing enough space what I did was visit my downloads. You can simply go back to SETTINGS>Storage and click DOWNLOADS and you will be taken to any music you've downloaded(this was a biggie for me) and pics, documents, etc. Delete those if you are no longer using them. Fourth, and finally- if none of this free up enough space(it should), download the CC cleaner app. I used this as the last measure to free up even more space. It will clear out old things you no longer need and lets you analyze what is on your phone. For some reason, a little space appeared but overnight, I had my large storage space back! I really hope this helps someone. For a while I looked for Real answers and could never find any.

Hi Haneef! Try installing Clean Master (link). Use it to free up space. Make sure to read what it is deleting before you do so. After cleaning up using the app, restart the phone.
