LG U8120 review from United Kingdom
"Trouble"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
The phone automatically switched itself on and immediately off again, fault with the power button, the phone had to be returned to the manufacturer to be fixed, manufacturer wiped the phone.
Screen randomly switches off.
I have also noticed the signal out is inordinately strong (not the reception), and interferes with electrical equipment from across the room, even when not in use.
General comments?
This phone is trouble, apparently power failure is a common problem. When I returned to the shop to get it fixed, there was another customer who had also barely had the phone a month, returning the phone for the same reason.
The manufacturer advised me to back up the data on the phone, but I obviously couldn't as I couldn't get the phone to stay on long enough! This meant all the games etc. I had purchased at £5 each were lost too.
Since it has been returned, it randomly powers off the screen, not useful.
