Unfortunately, when we’d finally figured out how to get the pictures off the LG onto the PC (by getting a card reader!), we discovered the pictures were truly awful – her old Motorola Razr took better.

Mandy is a photographer and works with digital photo files all day so it wasn’t a case of an in-experienced user.

It was the icing on the proverbial xmas cake and the whole lot was bundled up and sent back to T-Mobile (who were very helpful) for a full refund (which has since been issued).

A very sorry affair indeed.

P.S. On the wifi question – apparently, T-Mobile reckoned that it cost nothing to ‘browse’ their online portal – it only cost when you went off to another site or downloaded games or music etc. There was no way to make a direct connection with our router – everything had to go via their online interface.

Thank god i got an iphone.

If changing the browsing profile to WiFi doesn’t do the trick I suspect that the only option available to you would be to have the handset de-branded. Be warned though that de-branding and/or unlocking a mobile handset will probably void it’s warranty.

Branded firmware often includes ‘ugly’ additions to the user interface as well as restrictions aimed at limiting or disabling some handset functionality. I suspect that in an effort to solicit uptake of their paid-for web ‘n’ walk service T-Mobiles has tampered with the WiFi functionality.

In reply to “Fabulous photo gifts”:
Try changing the browsing profile to Wi-Fi, it should help.

My partner got her Christmas wish of a LG Renoir – mostly because of the 8megapixel camera of course.

However, we’ve been racking our brains over an issue with the wifi -perhaps you can help?

We’re in the UK on the T-Mobile network. When she tries to connect to the internet, the T-mobile web n’ walk interface launches. We have wireless broadband both here an at her office but I can’t figure how to browse via our wifi rather than the t-mobile web n walk which is charged.

T-mobile reckoned it couldn’t be done but it seems silly to me to have wifi capability yet not be able to connect via it.

Can you suggest any options / ways / settings I can explore on the renoir to connect via wifi networks please?

Much appreciated as I’m in danger of suggesting she gets an iphone ……… and the LG is a cracking phone with test pictures looking amazing so far.

many thanks for your help.
