Second Report on the LG KF350

Mood - SAD

Mood - SAD

Christmas Eve~☆◊☆◊☆!

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Nu~po! <OAO>!!!

My new cell phone…. ↓

(Cries)

…hanged! <o_o>{!!]

IT HANGED!

!! cries !!

I was hoping that I could report good news in my second report for the LG KF350 but NOooo~ Something awfully wrong just can’t spare sheep! (Tears)

I tried removing the battery, sim card, connect it to the computer … even wished that somehow the alarm that I set for the next day will somehow trigger the system to function again… In the end all attempts were futile. <;__;>

Sheep is sad and disappointed. It hung for 3 days already. <_  _>lll

A~ah well.. *sobs* After Christmas, I’ll send it for repair — And please after this, no more surprises. I hate surprises. <u_u,>

Besides this, I have more things to report about this phone.

  • Input dictionary keeps resetting to default - I’m used to typing manually so the first thing I did when I got the phone was — I disabled the dictionary. However, when I turned off and on my phone again — The dictionary enables itself again. It’s annoying in the sense that I have to keep disabling every time I switch on my phone.
  • The receiving end can’t hear me clearly – I phoned Mira a couple of times and she had difficulties in making out what I was saying. She said that my voice sounded very soft and unclear. <;__;> Saru-chan called me once and he thought I was half-sleep judging from my sloppy voice!
  • MMSMira sent me a MMS and at first, I had problems retrieving it. Later I discovered that I needed to download the MMS settings again. I’m using HOTLINK and in the process getting the settings, I couldn’t find LG KF350 in the category of download. Usually you need to select your phone model before downloading the settings, right? Perhaps LG KF350 is too new that’s why. In this case, I selected LG KF300, since it’s sort of similar to LG KF350. Fortunately, it worked!
  • External LED - Baa… I’m not sure whether it’s meant to be or only my phone is dysfunctional but — the time and emoticon only appeared for 2 seconds and disappeared just like that. Odd…

Apart from these, I have nothing more to report.. Since my phone hanged on the 2nd day BEFORE I could explore it to the fullest. (Cries)

Due to this unwanted incident, I could not take a picture of the dead rat that Auwlithe killed.

You see, this rat has been camping in our car engine for weeks. We didn’t know until Auwlithe urged us to check the car engine.

We tried to catch it but the rat was such a sneak and our rat traps were to no avail.

Anyway, yesterday when I returned home from shopping — Auwlithe showed me the dead rat and it appears that it’s neck was twisted.

I’m convinced that it was Auwlithe’s work since he killed another rat and a pigeon using the same method, in front of me.

… Auwlithe, いい子だ~♥! <^v^>/

Baa~ <u_u>

Time for sheep to leave~!

Baa-bai minna-hun~

And …

MERRY CHRISTMAS~~!

↑ Mum bought this hat specially for Auwlithe~♪! <^ω^>v

<TTATT> (Cries) My ice-cream phone…

!! U~~WAaaaaaaa~~~ !!

While everyone is celebrating, Ms.Aya is going to cry herself to sleep. <;__;>

    *tap Sheep*

    Hey… It’s a very disapointing news… looks like a component got unpluged inside the phone. :/

    Hope LG would be fast for your phone’s repair, ganbare Sheep ! Maybe the speaker and LED problems are connected.

    Going to pray for your phone to work again.

  2. Gray says:

    pull the bsttery out, shuts off device, put it back in and turn on.
    very much like when a computer hangs and evrything else fails, i pull the plug (literally); then boot it up.

  3. Kou says:

    *Sneaks in* The fool that is mostly likely been forgotten is here to give a holiday’s greeting.

    Its been long since I’ve bothered to check up and this happens. You two have moved away from a hosted blog to your own site!!! Wow…congrats!! I’ve basically given up on my blog so. XD

    ANYWAYS, sorry to not have stopped in for a greeting sooner. I do hope that both Aya-chan and Mira have been doing fine. ^_^;;;

    ~Hsppy holidays + Happy New Years

    *Sneaks away*

  4. Pixy says:

    Aya,

    Hey, better go ask the ppl where u buy the phone ASAP …

    just only a few day spoil .. it is just ridiculous …

    Dogs catch rats huh ? Cats are suck catching rats now due to the mega size of the rats ..

  5. Ms.Aya says:

    Thanks everyone.

    I went back to the dealer and was attended by the same ‘cute-but-not-my-type’ guy. I was allowed to return the phone and get a new one however, they don’t have pink color in stock. Only blue was left.

    So I decided that I’ll wait until Tuesday to get a new one. (Sighs) That means once I get the new phone, I have to adjust the settings and refill my phone book again.. (_ _)lll

    For the time being, I’m going to be good friends with my old Nokia7390.. without the external memory card since I’m having difficulties in inserting it. Maybe it hates me for substituting it? (Cries)

    A~ah well… Minna-hun ookini~

    .. Yo, Kou-san! Mei.bui.kuu.rii.ssu!

    Phones are very jealouses creatures.

    A belated Merry Christmas to you

    Happy New Year !

    Best wishes

  8. jiko lonco says:

    wow, nice looking blog. and very informative. really quality blog

  9. miamy says:

    i dont know, i just bought this phone on xmas eve and im on my third day using this phone. I feel nervous using this phone bcuz im afraid that something like this will happen to mine. TT.TT

    and and, i think there was once when i flip open the phone, it blacked-out and restart again!! 0_0

  10. nappyheaded says:

    I sent you a pm on anime online. Can you check it out?

  11. Ms.Aya says:

    Thanks, Shien Yi~ Same to you!

    Dear Miamy

    It blacked-out and restarted? Oh dear…

    I hope when I get my new replacement phone, it will not have any of these errors. (Cries)

    Have we been duped over it’s neatly and lovely design? (Tears) O~h well.. All the best to your phone.

    If it spoils within a week, you can ask for a new phone from the dealer. (^-^*)/

    … I wonder, does anyone’s LGKF350 ice-cream phone have this problem with their battery? One minute the battery has 2 bars left and then when re-opening it, it becomes 3 again?

    Baa…

  12. miamy says:

    ms aya : yeah. the battery is.. weird. lol like when it dropped to 2 bars, the next moment when i flip open it, its 3 bars again. lol but the battery life isnt that great too. like I’ve gotta charge once every two days. hmmphh.

    and, you mean i can get a new phone only during the first week if the phone spoiled??

  13. Ms.Aya says:

    Baa.. That means — 8/10 LGKF350 are possibly having the same problems.

    Yes, if the phone spoils within a week — you can ask for a new one. After 1 week, I don’t know if your dealer is lenient enough to replace a new one. But you can use your warranty to have it fix for free.

    But after you mention that the battery life is so uncertain… I think better to have it fix once and for all. What’s the point of getting a new phone which will eventually have the same problem?

    One last thing: Can your receiver hear your voice clearly on the other side?

  14. えっ?新しい携帯がもう壊れたかい?、そりゃ面倒臭いよねぇ。。。

    Auwlitheってカワイイワンちゃんっすね。自分がエサ上げたいくらいにカワイイよ。

    I wrote this comment in japanese so you can practice a little bit^^.

  15. Ms.Aya says:

    あ~ちゃ。。。これやばいな。あたしわね、久しぶりに日本お勉強しないなら、笑えしないでくださいね!

    えとーーこの携帯さ、本当がっかりがです。(涙)

    なんかだますおちゃったともう? まさかね。。

    ええ? いくらで何? アヤチー読みできないんです! (涙)

    ねずみとねこがAuwlitheーちゃんの一番だいきらいてきだよ. (笑)

    。。。 うちの日本がやっぱ。。。へたですね? (近著する)

  16. Cubbie says:

    Hello~!

    I just bought the same phone, and I agree on the external LED setting. I thought the clock would be there 24/7. -.-”

  17. Ms.Aya says:

    Dear Cubbie,

    *Nods* Must click the side buttons whenever you want to check the time. It’s ok for it to be that way because you get to reserve battery power. But the light goes off very fast. I mean it — VERY FAST.

    Under 2 seconds and the light goes off. (Tears)

  18. *うちの日本がやっぱ。。。へたですね?*

    自分のことを’うち’って呼ばれるのは面白いねぇ、あやっちはやっぱ関西弁が好きだね。

    Auwlitheちゃんがねずみも嫌いなんだい?、わぁ、犬だけど猫の便利なとこもあって素晴らしいっすねぇ。

    “いくら”じゃなくて”くらい”だよ”くらい”!(笑)分かる?

    あやっちは日本語大丈夫だと思うけど、いっぱい練習してくださいね。

  19. Kou says:

    おお、アヤちゃんの日本語結構上達してんじゃん♪ しかし本当に関西弁が多いな、なんか訳アリでも?

    あやっち...それも中々イイ呼び方かも.(笑)

    Anyways, you certainly have improved your Japanese Aya-chan, much better than when I first knew you. XD I’ll try and stop in more often when I can. ~Later

  20. mokopi says:

    Hi Aya,

    Wow… after viewing the comments regarding that phone, I am having second thoughts on the purchase…

    Is the problem resolved?

  21. Ms.Aya says:

    Dear Rocketd-hun,

    ”うち”のこと。。。え?違うですか?

    ’うち’のことが関西弁でっしょ?まあ。。今あたしおとな人になりちゃった、’うち’がつかうわぜんぜんだめなら。。。(涙)

    そう、Auwlithe便利なそうです。そのために、おかさんが犬がほしです。だってそのまえに、おかさんお犬があんまりすきです!嬉しい!

    。。。はい、もっと練習してがつよです。 (_  _)lll

    よしゃ!もっとがんばります!

    Dear Kou-san,

    また日本語!?

    で、本まかいな?本なら、あたしすごくうれしかったです!どもーーおおきに!

    しかし、まだまだ本まに日本語がやるでっしょ。。

    My sentence structure is horrible and incorrect..

    Dear Mokopi,
    My dealer hasn’t got back to me.
    All I can tell you is — It’s best for you to give the phone a shot. Because it’s so popular, it might get sold out in time to come.

    I think most people buy this phone because of the design, not the function. If you’re very particular about the functions and you’re not satisfied with LGKF350′s, then you better not waste your money on this.

  22. Ok, let’s switch to english again ha ha ha.

    Firstly, I was saying that it’s funny you call yourself “uchi”, coz that’s kansai-ben’s manners, but I remembered you told me you like kansai-ben^^.

    @Kou: Ayacchi’s a cool nickname right?? I have a japanese friend called Aya, and their friends either call her Ayapii or Ayapion ha ha ha ha, so I came with this Ayacchi nickname avoiding imitations.

  23. Saruchan says:

    Hu waaaahh !! load of jap stuff that i cant understand with my tiny brain !! O.O

    anyways , hope that ur phone will be alright ~

    and Auwilthe looks bored . hahaha !!

    *throws cookies to Auwilthe ! *

  24. Ms.Aya says:

    Dear Rocketd

    Sorry. I thought I saw the word ‘oyako’ when it’s actually oyatsu… (Tears)

    I really can’t read Japanese properly.

    Ayacchi is a cute name *mecha kawaii*. Thanks for giving me this nickname. (Laughs)

    - pi is also cute. Japanese people sure have nice suffixes to use. How envious!

    *Edit* Wait… You wrote ‘Ayacchi… Not ‘oyatsu! Sorry! Read wrongly — AGAIN!
    Dear Saru-chan

    I haven’t got my replacement phone yet. They keep telling me week after week! Sheep is so angry!

  25. Saruchan says:

    Yay !! since they are neglecting you ,

    LETS BURN DOWN THE SHOP !!!

    MUAHaaaahahahahhaaaa!!!!

  26. @Sheepy: You’re most welcome^^, since you are cute you need a cute nickname.

    @Saru: I’m going too, I’ve got some torches and gasoline… let’s burn the motherfu@&%s!!.

  27. Saruchan says:

    *starts a riot*

    eh eh , before we burn the place down .. make sure we take a picture of it and take the phones !!!

    i hope that Ms.Aya’s blog is fireproof ! xD

    *Bangs Wall*

  28. Ok, got’em, now it’s time to go!

    move, move, move!

    uh oh!, the bottom of the blog is on fire!!, what do we do know????, when sheeps comes she’s gonna get pissed off at us…

    *dashes off to fetch some water buckets”

  29. Ms.Aya says:

    Waaa! While sheep was sick, you too hooligans set my blog on fire!?

    (Cries!)

    Good thing Rocketd has conscience! *Cuts Saru-chan’s tail*

    (Laughs) Just kidding.

    I’m a bit flabbergasted with the hand phone shop too. I haven’t got my phone until now. It has been 2 weeks + already.

    Even though I made a remark that the dealer is cute, but keeping me waiting isn’t cute anymore!

    The last time I went to the shop, my mother threatened that she will kill him if he does not get me my phone by next week. (o_o)

    So Saru-chan and Rocketd, keep your hands clean from blood and sin. My mother will do it. (Laughs)

  30. OMG!, I really hope your mom doesn’t get involved in some bloody mess over there….

    You were sick??, are you feeling better now??. I was wondering why you didn’t show up for several days… now I realise you were sick… anyway!, I’m glad you made it back again^^. Happy new year!.

  31. Ms.Aya says:

    Thank you for your kind concern~
    Sheep is feeling much better than before!

    Y~ay!

    I too hope that my mother will not climb over the counter and strangle that dealer to death.

    (Tears)

  32. miamy says:

    argghhh i missed out so much.. anyways, i can hear clearly and i even tested it myself.

    And one of the reason why Im here today is because, I COULDNT TURN ON MA PHONEEE! wtf! -_-

    I was in college this afternoon and i couldnt call so i checked my phone and it says emergency call only. So i thought why not try switching it off and when i on it back, the same thing happened. The KF350 logo is there and nothing else. I could only turn off the phone when i take off the batteries. sighhhhhh -_-;

    I have a friend in canada and korea, they are using this phone too but they said they have so prob with the phone so far.

    omgoshhhh TT.TT enough of my ranting comment today lols. may I know where did ya buy ur phone from??

  33. Ms.Aya says:

    Oh my goodness!

    Your phone also hang like that?

    Before my phone hanged, I checked my phone book and I noticed that the groups that I renamed earlier went back to default. (Normally, instead of naming the group Family, I would put ‘Kazoku’ and so on)

    I edited the groups’ names again and tried to turn off the phone and turn it on again to check whether the names reverted back to default.

    After that, it hanged!

    Miamy, I think the system is very faulty because it is an unlocked phone and has been tampered with.

    That’s why our phones has problems while Canada and Korea does not.

    The same thing happen to me. I could only turn off the phone AFTER removing the battery. I tried to leave the phone switched on for more than half the day also no use.

    (Cries) So how? Did you go back to the shop and ask for a new one or you’re going to send it for repair?

    In my opinion, I think it’s better to send it for repair because what’s the point you get a brand new one that could spoil too? At least once it’s fix, the problem should be resolve, right?

    Some more if you want a new one, you might have to wait a very long time because the phones are out of stock. (Tears) I wait for like — 3 weeks already!

    I bought mine in Jusco Tebrau City in JB.

    P.S: Go ahead and rant all you want. This phone can really break people’s heart therefore it’s totally understandable!

    !! Cries !!

  34. Alexa says:

    hi aya and miamy…

    I got the same phone and it hanged. I went to the dealer and they said I had to go to LG electronics in Kelana Jaya. I went there and they said their system is down on that day so they cannot repair for me. So I asked the woman another place for repairing..

    After that, I went to Bandar Sunway to find Phoneworx. They said I had to wait for one day for repairing. So I left it there since my bf is studying near Sunway and it’s convenient for him to collect. They promised that they will fix it by today and get it done. I called and the woman said it’s not ok yet and she’ll call when it’s fixed.

    I’m very sad and disappointed now. I hope that after I fix it, it wun have any probs anymore. If it has problem, I rather change to other phone :(

  35. miamy says:

    Alexa, you’re having the same prob as well?? omgosh it’s so disappointing and like what aya said : it’s very heart breaking coz the phone is like.. new + cute sigh.

    Oh yes, alexa, I dont know about your phone cuz I bought mine from authorised LG dealer in Sg. wang and i called them and they told me to bring the phone to Hello Service Centre in Plaza Berjaya which is opposite Times Square.

    And the best thing is, I went there and told them about the prob with my phone and they told me to come and collect it back after 2 hours. So while I wait I went to Times Square to shop for a lil while.. :P Maybe you can try asking if you can send it there as well?

    I guess they just reset the phone to default or something? cuz they actually cleared/deleted whatever I had in my phone memory..

    I hope the same thing wont happen again TT.TT its a cool phone to have really.

    So how’s your phone now, aya?

  36. Ms.Aya says:

    Dear Alexa

    Why is it that the 3 of us are so unlucky?

    Have you got back your phone yet?

    Let’s say if you have not gotten your phone back, try asking them whether so far got any other ice-cream phones also received the same problem. Because from what it looks — It seems that 8/10 are faulty.

    Furthermore, only pink and blue has been on stock all this while. I don’t know about white because in JB, apparently still got no stock for white.

    I wonder why our phones hanged… (Cries)

    Dear Miamy

    (Nods) It’s very heart breaking. Until now, I still haven’t received any call from the phone shop. This is so frustrating! I miss carrying the phone in my palm and all I have now is just the box of the hand phone!

    Good for you, the phone returned back to you in 2 hours.

    I think Alexa will have her phone soon. Definitely sooner than me because I have to wait for KL to send over to JB.

    … This is the 3rd or 4th week I’ve been waiting. (Tears)

    By the way, what colors did you all purchased? (.___.)

  37. miamy says:

    omgosh! have to send it back to KL?? 0_0 mine is in pink btw. you know what, i just read in a forum and there’s this girl saying that most ice cream phones in pink (not sure about the blue ones) have problems, and the white ones are all okay. And when i bought mine on xmas eve, the dealer told me that white is not available yet. and one of them told me white is more expensive by rm100. could it be, the white one is slightly different or something?? is this is so i’d rather choose a white one :(

  38. Ms.Aya says:

    Dear Miamy

    Yea. I have to wait for the new one to be delivered to JB.

    I just got it by the way. Yay!

    Is it for real that pink phones are the only faulty ones and that white is more expensive?

    If I find out that white has 3G and can self-cam, I’ll kill myself!

    That’s not fair, don’t you think so too?

    My dealer said that if the phone spoils again, I can swap for a new one. Maybe if the white phone is available and has better features, then I’ll swap for white.

    So your phone is ok already? Let’s say if your phone got problem again, then you can swap for the white too!

    But have to confirm first whether white and pink got any difference.

    Yosh! This is our battle plan! (Laughs)

  39. miamy says:

    lol (at your reply)
    hahahha. Im not sure if there is any difference btwn white and pink but I reckon our unlocked ver. wouldnt work for self cam and 3G. TT.TT

    But do you know actually there is LG Ice cream phone 2? which actually has 3G?!! -o- but the design is slightly different. try googling it out. :)

  40. Jenny says:

    heyy i have this phone as well.
    how did you work the MMS settings?
    i tried going to the hotlink website but i can’t set it up

  41. Ms.Aya says:

    Dear Miamy

    I know that’s wishful thinking. (Laughs nervously)

    … (Cries) What? There’s a second version of ice-cream?

    Are you kidding me? … Wait.. No, you’re not. I just googled and saw it myself.

    How can this be happening? (Tears) We just got our hands on this ice-cream phone.

    Thanks for the info, now I’m going to one corner to weep.

    … Let’s say it comes out in M’sia, would you buy it?

    Dear Jenny

    You’re using Hotllink, right?

    Make a call to *100# and from there, follow the instructions.

  42. Jenny says:

    i called and something just pops up and says, “Unexpected Data Value”

    at the hotlink website I tried signing up and it wouldn’t go through.
    when i tried to click on “Get Phone Settings” , my phone number wouldn’t go through either.

  43. Ms.Aya says:

    The first time I tried that, I also got the “Unexpected Data Value” error. Then I tried again and it got finally through.

    I can’t think of anyway other than this. (_ _)lll

  44. I love what you did with the blog!, specially that animated sheep falling asleep in the widget bar, that’s just bloody cute.

  45. yienshawn says:

    Yeah ! The dictionary mode is a bit wierd, and the time for receiving mms is somehow longer then usual ?

    What is it about the mms setting download that you was saying in the post ? (: hahas.

    Oh ya, anyway, I’d always wanted blue, but Singapore don’t have it anymore, left with lots of pink, so I decided to take white ;p

  46. Ms.Aya says:

    Dear Yienshawn

    In Malaysia, we have to download the phone settings for MMS before we can actually send out and receive multimedia messages. Does Singapore do the same?

    Yea, I can’t seem to turn off the dictionary permanently. Every time I turned on the phone again, the dictionary activates again. Yours is the same too?

    Funny… I thought white and pink are the hot selling cakes. Maybe Singapore has more blue-lovers[?] (^v^)/

    Out of curiosity, what is the color of your keypad’s back light?

    Eg: The pink phone has pink light, blue has blue … So white phone = … white light? (.__.)

  47. hellos! erm, just wanna ask whether this phone can sms in korean language? ._.”

  48. Ms.Aya says:

    Dear SnowCrystal

    Yes, you can sms in Korean language. You can also set the phone’s system language to be in Korean~!

  49. oh i see! thanks a lot! hmm, looks like this phone keeps giving problems hurr… /: *sigh* erm, do you think it’s worth it to buy this phone? (x.x”) hahaha, ii wanted to buy this handphone but, still thinking whether should ii buy it… heard many people complained about this handphone… *sighh* ):

  50. Ms.Aya says:

    It seriously depends on your personal preference. If you are apt to using phones like Sony Ericsson and Nokia that are abundance in features, then LG KF350 might be a let down to you because its functions are very basic.

    But if you’re one who can settle with 2GB memory external (apparently if you insert higher than 2 GB, you might experience lagging problems), 3 mega pixel camera with no auto-focus, no video calls and plain themes, then it shouldn’t be a problem to you.

    This is totally up to you whether you can live with this phone. (^-^)lll
