Nifty Tricks for the LG Renoir

December 11th, 2008 by Dave@LGUK

The guys at Mobile Choice were fairly impressed with the LG KC910 – otherwise known as the Renoir, giving it 4/5 in their review.

The LG Renoir is absolutely crammed with features, serving up full touch-screen functionality, HSDPA speed internet browsing, an accelerometer for motion-sensor gaming, Dolby Mobile sound quality, DivX video capability, A-GPS, an eight-megapixel camera, a music player and loads of video functionality. Plus you get an 8GB memory card in the box so you won’t be short of storage.

They’ve also created one of their ‘Nifty Tricks’ videos for it – showing you how to get the most out of your new handset and make sure it is, in a word, nifty!

Pity it’s not viewable via the phone itself (im using it just now to send this comment). I feel LG have let myself and others down by not providing the “full web and multimedia functionality” they promised when marketing the Renoir.

This feeling seems to a common trend among the majority of users as I’m seeing more and more complaints of lack of support and non-existant firmware upgrades.

Its a crying shame as well because if it wasnt for some major bugs and flaws (such as the phone randomly rebooting while being used causing the total loss of whatever was being worked on, and the complete inability to play online videos and flash animations plus its incompatibility with the ActiveX objects and flash player needed to run them, to name but a few), it would be the closest competitor the iPhone has ever had!

I am beginning to think all these smart phones are a let down. none comes close to the experience of simply picking up some one elses iphone and just using it.
I was given a nokia n96 sent it back too tricky to work out.
I now have the renoir.
the internet is very backwards so many web pages dont work?
the speakers are not good or is there a dolby switch hidden some place certainly the sound isnt up to my 2 year old N73.
the GPS is a con trick look out for this everyone it is not free to use! EEK
the renoir is though easy to use and for that reason its a keeper.

I don’t think I’ll buy an LG product again. They shouldn’t sell it in Asia if their support will be limited to UK customers. The reception is worse than my previous phone. I have never managed to use the wifi for more than loading a single page before it completely stops loading anything until a reboot. The GPS isn’t able to be used by any application other than the Jogging Buddy. The interface is very slow. At times, the tilt sensor stops working completely. I’ve warned my classmates about this phone, and now I’m posting here to try to warn potential buyers of the very real flaws. A friend and I bought our phones just over a month ago, and we both have had an identical experience (I exchanged my handset a few days after I bought it, because I thought the wifi issue was a hardware issue on my first unit.) Don’t buy this phone.
