All about LG 5130

Recommended Posts

the display shuts down after the phone is idle for abt 1 minute. This is a very irritating bug, which renders this handset pretty much useless!

It is not a bug. I have seen many GSM handsets (colour) which shut down the display when idle. Like Nokia 3530, Samsung X100 etc. I believe it is a safeguard to keep the screen alive & kicking for years to come.

Indeed that is intentional to save abttery and the display itself.

Pressing any key will resume where U had left. :)

thats true. in my opinion, the LG5130 is the best reliance phone as of now.(only i would have loved the speakerphone activation to be with a press of a button instead of actually holding down a button of 2seconds)

I have been using RD5130 for the past two weeks. All the probs mentioned in this forum, are being faced by me too. SMS size, Battery life, Rubber Buttons, Address book search too slow, etc etc. I am facing more troubles than positive things on this RD5130. I have been using 6210 and 6310 for nearly 4 years now. I can't fine half the good functionalities of that Nokia in this. Kindly suggest me a link where I can get a software to work around in the handset. I have got a data cable for it after searching up and down the whole of Trivandrum.

Hi ppl,

I have recently purchased lg5130 along with USB data-cable - and just joined this forum today.

1) Upon installing the CD that came with data-cable, I could get my 5130 to work as a modem - could surf web etc. AFTER setting my data rate (in phone) to 115kbps (and not USB - as one would have thought!). However, I am just not able to use the PC Sync software (LG Desktop Lite) that comes in the CD... I am not clear which COM port to use (1 or 2)? Presently I have a dial-up modem attached to my com-1. My com-2 is free. How do I assign my USB port to com-2 or com-3 etc? Pls help.

2) Has anyone succesfully downloaded new RTs on 5130 using bitpim (or other free software)? if yes, pls help/guide.

many many thanks.

In Windows XP, you can change the port number through the properties menu. Check out the Technical Programming forum for a similar query.

Hi Hyper,

got the following attachment from webworld nearby - and downloaded it as instructed. BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT WORK!!

connector_dll.zip

I just cannot get the USB com port in Desktop lite sync setup - only the serial comm ports showup (no matter what i name them!)

my OS is win98se. i have a 5130+usb cable.

Internet access works fine - but PC sync just does not work!! :( :'(

Really really appreciate any help/inputs - even LG service centers and webworld have no clue ;)

thanx in anticipation...

the pc sync was made for the 2030 or the 7130 in the start & they did not probably expect that they would launch the 5130 or the 7230. find the install folder under C:\programs\LGSYNC\ (or whatever the folders name is..there u will find a dll file by the name of ****2030**.dll or ****7130**.dll. leave everything the same & just rename it & put ur model no whe the other model no is. now restart ur computer & ur set to sync

Hi,

I continued with Samsung N191 for 1 and half yrs...and now migrated to LG RD 5130...and believe me its worth all the single penny. 65K colors does the magic! Speaker phone is like too much!...

If u have a b/w phone and want to migrate to a color one...I recommend..RD 5130.

I'm Lovin it! :confuse::confuse:

I have similar experience of loving my 5130, which i bought after using LG 2130 for about a year.

R-world videos in 65K color and the speaker, look in an altogether different world from a b/w set .... you can compare a color handset (5130) to a color tv, but LG 2130 is far worse than a b/w tv .... u just can't use it for videos
