LG Chocolate Touch Text Messaging

[belle5671]

This phone is impossible to text on. It doesn't pick up what you are trying to type and I always type so many wrong words -.-

[WirelessZone]

@belle5671 I have read and heard that is a common problem. Other than that - how do/did you like the phone? 

[LOLUMAD725]

AHAAHAHA fuck this piece of shit. 30 minutes to send a picture text.. I am over exaggerating a bit but it drains the battery by at least a bar if you send a picture text. If you text someone who is using sprint their messages don't come in wholes such as missing words and letters. The touch screen is like basically shit. Sometimes the phone freezes and you can't use the touch screen like someones holding their finger on it. My phones in amazing shape but can't wait to upgrade to the iphone feb20

[TheKk3112]

@WirelessZone the lg octane

[WirelessZone]

@TheKk3112 Go forward, not backward! 

[TheKk3112]

I want this phone:)

[WirelessZone]

@TheKk3112 It is a good phone - however, it would be tough to come by. What are you using now?

[Biscuit398]

MAYBE THIS PHONE WOULDNT BREAK SO EASILY IF YOU ACTUALLY TOOK CARE OF IT!!

[BMBGuard]

I HATE THIS PHONE. I can't wait to upgrade...

[jonathan14ism]

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! IM TELLING YOU ALL! THEY SUUCK! THEY ABSOLUTELY SUCK! THE PHONE FREEZES, IT BREAKS VERY VERY EASY. :) have a nice day..

[Sami0199x]

I am stuck between the rogue & this. I love the virtual key board but I'm scared because I text 24/7 and it might mess up. But I font like how this doesn't have a Facebook app like the rogue. & I like the rogue key board that slides but, I want it to be virtual also. I'm not good with t9 so that's not going to work for me. I need help on which is better over all. & DON'T say gets an or iPhone or a droid I'm not paying 30 extra dollars.

[WirelessZone]

@Sami0199x Both of these phones are End of Life. If you do find them somewhere to purchase, I personally like the LG Chocolate Touch. LG makes a solid phone and it is smaller and thiner than the Rouge.

[MrTechlover100]

@Sami0199x I dont know about the rouge but i have to chocolate touch and text alot too and its not much of a texting phone. i can still text fast with the virtual keyboard but do mess up and it doesn't recognize i hit a key. The non keyboard parts works well but i type on t9 word so idk about your situation then

[MrJlocicero]

@Sami0199x i was stuck with the same but i got the choclate touch. and i think it was better desicion

[fredcoolj]

do u need a data plan for this phone

[MrSpore15]

@fredcoolj no, just set it up as a pay per megabyte plan, that's what i do for every phone i get. And i actually HATE this phone, the keyboard never keeps up with me when i type.. :(

[monkeysrpurple101]

nice video love u

please go look at my videos plz n thnks

[Nightsnwhitesabin]

The only downfall is that it doesnt have T9 for the full qwerty keyboard. It has to be spelled out which is gay. It would go a lot faster with T9 on the full qwerty keyboard.

[jackatastrophe]

@Nightsnwhitesabin to call something like that "gay" is derogatory and offensive

[codymws]

@msmandysings I have the chocolate touch. Trust me, the Crux has way better texting. The touch screen on the Crux is way better because it's capacitive.

[Snipe13120]

what would you think is better cuz im getting a new phone and idk what one is better. the chocolate touch or the env touch?

[TARHEELfanDRUMMER]

I have this and really hate it for texting. Its like rediculously hard to say what you want even at a normal texting speed and it say what u intended the first time, and since there are no physical arrow keys its also really hard to go back to a specific point in ur txt msg. Just a word of warning cause if ur a big texter this isnt the phone for u, and i cant stand trying to txt on it. and it's probably easier for her to txt on it b/c shes got nails. but this phones great for music though!

[Minnesota120]

im getting this phone no matter how much money it is!!!!!!!!!!

[Cruisexpert96]

this or pantech crux? cant decide

[msmandysings]

@Cruisexpert96 i currently have the pantech crux. i got it yesturday and i am going to verizon today to switch it to the chocolate touch because texting is hard for me on the crux. so if you're a super texter id go with the chocolate. if not the pantech crux is a nice phone. i mostly text so i am switching lol

[spikeman23]

@msmandysings The chocolate touch sucks

[kodiakowns]

i have this phone and i hate texting on it i rather go back to my voyager

[WirelessZone]

@MeghanLovesChipotle No it's not true. To get internet it's $9..99 for 25MB sent or received per month.

[DJKoupe5]

@WirelessZone unles you get the messagin plan which comes with unlimited text and WEB

[WirelessZone]

@DJKoupe5 First of all-I am talking about Verizon, just to be clear and there are no text messaging plans come with web that I know of. Read the fine print, it always says, data charges of $1.99/MB apply for data sent and received, unless you subscribe to a data package. Trust Me.

[TheLilcrazygirl131]

this phone is cool but wen i go to my music it freezes my phone.............then i'll have to take out the battery and when i click something it goes somewhere else

[WirelessZone]

@TheLilcrazygirl131 I would take it to a local Verizon corporate or authorized retailer and have them check to see that it has the latest software upgrade. It it doesn't they can upgrade it for you.

[SIL3N7SCOP3]

@WirelessZone If you upgrade, does your plan expand?

[WirelessZone]

@SIL3N7SCOP3 I'm not sure what you mean by expand but no, your plan doesn't change unless the phone you are upgrading to requires more data, then you may have to subscribe to a different plan.

[SIL3N7SCOP3]

@WirelessZone Ok, cause when I touch my screen it takes me somewhere else, do I get it upgrade or it broke?

[WirelessZone]

@SIL3N7SCOP3 I would start by trying to calibrate your screen. Menu>Settings>Touch Settings>Calibration then follow the prompts.

[SIL3N7SCOP3]

@WirelessZone I have, but it sometimes doesn't work.

[MasonBabii]

This works a LOT better if you are a kid and have small hands ha

[paitnballer082897]

what do you mean right protected songs because i want like rap and r&b on my phone will those work???

[WirelessZone]

@paitnballer082897 All of the songs on iTunes were originally right-protected and they could only be played on Apple devices. Now you can buy songs that you can transfer anywhere but I think they cost slightly more. It has nothing to do with the genre of music.

[skweekyd]

@paitnballer082897 what do you think verizon is like racist against rap lol!?

[WirelessZone]

@paitnballer082897 right protected songs from iTunes can only be played on Apple products. You have to pay extra for songs that aren't right protected then you can transfer them anywhere. It has nothing to do with what genre of music it is.

[doofie321]

do you have to do the $9.99 data plan please respond back

[WirelessZone]

@doofie321 Yes you do.

[576sheba]

@WirelessZone More about the data plan, You have to pay 9.99 in order to have this phone?

[WirelessZone]

@576sheba Yes. You need a data $9.99 for 25MB sent or received per month.

[webkinzlover574]

this phone sucks! do not buy it. i have it and it is a horrible phone.

[MsKeY99]

This Phoneeee Absoulutely Sucks i Have It As We Speak,

At First when i got it from verizon it worked perfectly find than the touch screen started acting crazy by touching letters and things that i did not touch,

i've tried calibration and it still acts the same i wouldn't recommend anyone getting a lg chocolate touch TRUST ME this is no lie!

[browncol2007]

after a month my touch screen was so screwed up I felt like chucking it at the wall when I tried to text. Glad I got the one year protection plan cause I think im gonna get alot of new chocolate touches this year :) on my second one so far.

[Appleipodzrulez]

Hi Wirlesszone. Can you play ringtones on the lg chocolate touch? :) thanks :)

[WirelessZone]

@Appleipodzrulez I don't have that phone anymore, sorry =(

[MrRizu36]

i want to chocolate seriously

[MrRizu36]

i want to eat chocolate seriously

[Koolaidmunchies]

how do i add a picture to a text message on the LG Chocolate touch

[WirelessZone]

@Koolaidmunchies When you start to send a "New message", select picture message instead of text message...or you can start by going directly to the picture and select Options > Send

[clubpenguinnub]

hey is it easy to text with this phone? im actually getting a new phone upgrade soon and giving my mom my Motorola Droid X because it's to hard to text with the touch screen,but i really like this phone. 

[AnnoyingXboxer]

@clubpenguinnub keeeep the droid are you stupid?

[clubpenguinnub]

@AnnoyingXboxer lol i know

[E22Videos]

Will my Lg Chocolate touch work better if i take the plastic film off the screen?

[Reesesp13ces]

Hi, I got 2 questions.

1. I'm a fast texter and send text msgs very often. Is this a good txt messaging phone?

2. Did u have to use your finger or fingernail in order for the touchscreen to respond? Is the touch screen like the one on an iPod touch or an iPhone?

[MissAmenderr]

Hi there Chloe , (: i was just wondering what phones you would recommend for big texters! i use to have the blackberry storm 2 but i am switching phones because of its keyboard for text messaging! if you could reply to this, what phones would you recommend that has a qwerty keyboard (actual keyboard not on touch-screen) and either flips or slides open? (: thanks so much for your help! oh and, would you recommend the Env touch for me? please reply! :D thank you so much!

[WirelessZone]

@MissAmenderr I would recommend either the LG enVTouch or the Samsung Reality. If you are accustomed to having a smartphone with the $30 data plan and want to stick with that type of phone, I would suggest the LG Ally

[xazuke]

i really dont know the prices but you can go with the motorala a455 rival. or you can get a droid which has a 39.99dollar data plan but its a really good phone i love it check it out

[WirelessZone]

@xazuke I believe the Droid has a $29.99 data plan....and don't get a Rival.

[576sheba]

@WirelessZone I have the Rival, and It has problems, but for someone whos not that serious into phones I suggest they would be OK with the rival.

[WirelessZone]

@Eclipse072 It depends-if you'd rather touchscreen only, get the Chocolate Touch. If you like a QWERTY keyboard get the enVTouch. I like the size of the Choc Touch but I don't think the touchscreen is as responsive as most. If you are going to be only using Touchscreen you may not want a phone that has an "iffy" touchscreen.

[airwalka182]

also, on 3 different occasions i tried dialing a number, and because of the faulty touch i dialed the wrong number. it is beyond frustrating

[airwalka182]

anyone considering buying this phone i would say look else where unless you're a chick with 3 inch fingernails like this girl, the touch is HORRIBLE! i have had this phone for almost 2 months and i have been getting more frustrated with it each day. i had the env 2 before and it would take me 20-30 seconds tops to send a 160 character text. with the chocolate touch i am afraid of needing to send such long text because it hurts my fingers and frusterate the heck out of me and take 3 minutes

[spikeman23]

Somebody always mentions her nails lol

[neerrg]

cool accent

[legomix414]

does this phone come with a stylus pen?

[WirelessZone]

@legomix414 No.

[lucadrag]

lg dare or chocolate touch??

[WirelessZone]

@lucadrag The Dare's life ended a long time ago, I'd go for the Choc Touch.

[sbboy9325]

@WirelessZone im getting this phone to rplace my dare. get the choc.

[quille727]

WirelessZone does the phone have any major problems with the texting and the touch screen

[WirelessZone]

@quille727 It is not as responsive as other LG touchscreens I have used...and it's not the nails because I have used them all.

[serenitybellen]

would you say tht the lg env touch is better than this phone?

[SK1998322]

love ur vids very helpful

[SalemHeights]

@SierraxTV smash it till the case falls off lol nah im jk, do u still want the case or no?

[SK1998322]

which phone is better the env touch or chocolate touch

[Whydothis3315]

this phone sucks i got me a real phone a DROID incredible :)

[0YoungSavage]

This phone sucks i had it and the touch screen sucks i couldnt text it was so bad

[MrDannyt95]

Do not get the chocolate touch, i have it and it is sooooooo laggy, i go to text and it messes up every word i type

[tak3223]

nice nails

[yourteddybearclaire]

Your nails were wierding me out the whole time :P

But yes, very nice video and very nice phone!

[XM8rifle]

Sexy nails ;)

[WirelessZone]

@XM8rifle Thanks!

[hthrvrgn]

i waaaaant this phone, buit i've only been in my 2 year sprint contract for 6 months :(

[CucumberSliceFTW]

Im getting this phone!

[MewBlast]

@CucumberSliceFTW Me Too!!! =D

[beagle20101]

does the lg env touch have the pen feature?

[WirelessZone]

@beagle20101 Yes, I don't have one in front of me but I'm 99% sure that it does.

[DaBestLindsayTDS]

@beagle20101 Yea it does

[SalemHeights]

@beagle20101 im 100% sure it does

[chadewatson]

@beagle20101 -yes it does. but i advise you to avoid an env touch. i hate mine. its terrible

[turtledogs7766]

@beagle20101

Don't know if you still need the answer to this question but yes, the EnV touch has the pen feature too : )

[abcpatrick98123]

Is there like an app store on the phone like the droid and the samsung omnia 2 or the droid eris

[bamboogolden]

my friend has this

[ShantiSyndrome]

I have this phone. :/ I don't like it. Hard to get used to the touch screen. Like you have to press harder than usual. Texting landscape mode is annoying on this. I tend to now use the drawing or T9. But the music player is amazing, I have to give it that.

Best one on a phone, besides the iPhone, of course. Though they could go head-to-head.

[ilovepuppies5]

i dont recomend this phone i have it and i hate it :( ive had it for 2 moths and im tiered of it!! i cant text right with it and if ur texting it clicks the wrong letter i hate it its awful im thinking of breaking it so i can get the samsung roguge

[Lukelr]

@wirelesszone -

overall, is this a pretty good phone? I have an LG Chocolate 3 right now, and I would think this one would be very similar.

One question I do have, maybe you can tell me, I have a microSD card in my current Chocolate 3 with a boat-load of music. If I transfer that card to the Chocolate TOUCH, will my music be safe; or do I have to re-format the card for this phone, thus having to take all the music off the card and re-installing it once the card is in the TOUCH phone?

[TheSuperMusicFan]

Is textiingg easy on thiiss phonne?

[clairelovescorn]

Can you draw more than 1 letter at a time on the pen feature?

[WirelessZone]

@clairelovescorn No. It recognizes them one at a time.

[lindeman9182]

@WirelessZone no it recognizes whole words

[aztatude]

The T9 on this phone sux!!!!!!! Does not remember your new word inputs. Took it back for the LG Cosmos, which came out after the Chocolate touch. That phone's T9 remembered every new word first time being input into the phone. WHY????????

[Timegirl3924]

does it come with a pen? does the resistive screen always push in? where do u get the music(itunes?)? i might get it tomorrow :)

[zeppelinfan236]

This phone Looks awesome! i am getting on in the summer

[MsCoUrTnEy161]

do you get a pen with this? because i really would like this fone but it seema like it might be hard to txt

[timedstroyer]

ok so i just got this phone, and when i recieve texts, it says who its from...like the phone talks to me, how do i disable this?

[Timegirl3924]

was it on vibrate? i hope you can disable that...i need help with that too

[Chrissythedancer]

does this hold the messages in the inbox in chatroom form

[WirelessZone]

@Chrissythedancer Yes it's called threaded messaging.

[arkansasfisherman]

that screen seems alot better then mine, mines seems real hard just to get it to recongnize i just pressed it and its imposible to scroll with out hitting something and opening a menu but its my first day will it get any better?

[WirelessZone]

@arkansasfisherman it takes a little getting used to but you'll get past that and learn how sensitive it is and where to touch is to scroll without opening things. It definitely gets easier.

[DaBestLindsayTDS]

Can I rotate the keyboard on both sides of the phone for txtin

[WirelessZone]

@DaBestLindsayTDS I think it only rotates one way.

[TheSuperMusicFan]

@DaBestLindsayTDS You can only rotate it to the left while texting.

[hockeybro20]

thanks so much

[missdiamonddancer123]

is it easy to text on?

[WirelessZone]

@missdiamonddancer123 yes, but then again, I am partial to touchscreens.

[TheDANioz]

she types kind of fast on the sideway keyboard

[XandeRToXic]

Can you access youtube, log in, and play videos? Can you also access twitter in its webpage form and not the text option? Plz answer! My upgrade is almost here and this phone is in my budget.

[WirelessZone]

@XandeRToXic yes, because this phone's browser is html, which means it reads the page like a PC would. I'm not saying its as good as it would look on a PC, There will always be page size constrictions.

[Ghost0744]

Can someone please tell me how to change the touch sensitivity options for this phone? Like, every thing I need to go to in order to find the settings because I can't seem to find them anywhere. Please help. thanks!

[WirelessZone]

@Ghost0744 This is straight from the user manual so if you ever need it again, look there (pg 105) Here goes... 1. Touch the Menu Soft Key . 2. Touch the Settings icon . 3. Touch Touch Settings. 4. The following options are available to customize the Touch Settings: Auto Lock On / Off Vibrate Type Short / Double /Long Vibrate Level Off / Low /Medium / High Vibrate Effect On/ Off Sound Wood Block/Percussion/ Clean/ Echo/ Off Calibration

[mrpianoman42]

I might get this phone, but i'm debating it. Ive been looking at reviews for it, and I text alot and love music., but ive never had a touch screen phone before. Do you recommend it?

[rsroxnoobsdont]

it comes with a gray and purple back so yeah

[Trigun075]

Is this both a guy and girl phone?

[WirelessZone]

@Trigun075 sure.

[justjoe032]

@Trigun075 dumbass no phones are made for guys or girls only

[Trigun075]

@justjoe032 way to be a dick. Grow up keyboard warrior.

[devileyebrow1]

i have this phone. its my first touchscreen

i have noticed that music is great on this phone but the keyeboard is kinda average. i make mistyakes quite a few times but u get used to the keyeboard. overall this phone deserves a 7 1/2 out of 10

[lv1lk]

this phine is hard to txt on, the keyboard and is not very durrable. i am on my 2nd one, do not drop it in the water because then it will start acting up. i have been trying to get rid of this phone because the all touch takes some getting yous't to. the best thing about it is the music app, the speaker is very load and lets you txt and listen to music at the same time. but i do think that you get this phone if you either know how to use a touch screen or if u absolutley have to get this phone.

[Boatrunner]

@lv1lk dude would it be easy to use if I have an ipod touch since ur kinda saying u gotta get used to it

[MVPacMan23]

Alright, I know how to use a touchscreen, and I am getting one in a 2-for-1 deal. Do you have any recommendations for apps?

[WirelessZone]

@MVPacMan23 Your best bet is to go to Verizon's Entertainment & apps page. There are a bunch of apps available for this phone. I don't know what your interests are so check it out!

[PrinceKMC1]

@MVPacMan23 to the you the truth, if you don't have a smartphone, then you don't have good quality apps...Trust me i know because I've had an EnV touch but now i have a droid eris and the app experience is much better

[Kristenblisten]

is texting on this phone hard? i have never had a phone with a virtual keyboard vs actual buttons

[ninjatacoforce]

me too before i got this phone it is a good phone the texting takes at least a few minutes to learn

[dezyboy23]

she needs to speek LOUDER! is she OK.

[TripleThreatCheer95]

do you need to get internet with the phone, or is it optional?

[Italianbella90]

you have to :[ 9.99 a month. i hate that new policy. so im switching off verizon :] that policy is bullshit.

[ghettobunny2]

is the chocolate touch compatable with a pen cuz in the video there was a pen button for texting in the little gray box. Also if there is where can i get one, the verizon store?

[WirelessZone]

It not an actual pen, it means you can input type by drawing the letter yourself. You can use your fingernail or a stylus to do it.

[PittsburghArab]

ya there is predict text and correct text but it lags really bad when you use it so i keep it off.

[ILoveHouseMD0131]

When using the qwerty keyboard, is there a feature that can predict or correct misspelled words like the iPhone can?

Love the phone by the way!

[Dhanselmann]

@ILoveHouseMD0131 T9

[VauxTheVince0216]

I got this phone a couple weeks ago and I cant figure out how to put the sent messages and the received messages in different catagories, because on my phone they are all together. Anyone know how to change it? Msg me back PLZ!

[rsroxnoobsdont]

i know you can change this. try going to messaging then settings.i cant remeber what its called though

[WirelessZone]

They are threaded if you view them "by contact", If you view them "by time" then it separates them back to inbox and sent

[WirelessZone]

Go to your main menu, then to messaging. At the bottom, select Settings then Messages View and change it to By Time. That'll do it.

[dezyboy23]

COOL BUT I HAVE THIS PHONE IT SUCK.

[trackfun1]

Aww really?

I was thinkin bout getting it.... so not a good phone?

[bdiva890]

dat's there opinion try it 4 your self but go verizon and ask for a working model

[REDCHERRY504]

LOVE this phone..thing i hate about it i have problems txting.i swear i can hit cute itll hit like e or something..its very aggravating and my calibration doesnt help!..atleast i dont think it does. why do you have calibrate anyway?and how often should you do it?

[maciekbalboa]

Im having a problem with the back cover, it never slides in correctly and always comes off easily, does anyone also have this/?

[msashley68]

My back, always does this .

[sony300001]

no go repair it

[rsfan2134]

I ordered this phone but they didn't give me a charger or battery with it so I watched this vid to see how texting was with it.. the other stuff comes tomorrow

[mjacob10]

How many text messages does this phone hold?

[carderbabe0817]

eh like little over 250 then you gotta start erasing them so you can get more

[DementedCNUK]

I hate just using a touch screen on a phone, no matter how good of a touch screen it is.

That's why I like the enV Touch the best

[xPullYourSwordsx]

how much is it without a plan and just to buy the phone?

[LoVeStoned2424]

OMG! This phone is sweet!

[rossifumifan1]

Thanks for getting back to me and answering all my questions hot stuff! You get five stars!

[WirelessZone]

Hey, Thanks a lot!

[lambepie]

how is it that this phone is free at best buy? what's the catch? does anyone know?

[carderbabe0817]

@lambepie when i got my phone at verizon they said best buy is selling the phones cheaper but two people that month came in bitching to verizon about their bill being over $500 and they could not do anything about it because best buy doesnt correctly know how to do contracts. and if anything goes wrong w. your cell verizon has nothing to do with it you have to go back to whatever store like best buy and talk to them

[xmadeinkorea214x]

how many messages can the phone hold in the memory?

[josuffpaul]

like 250 :(
