LG Glimmer Problems
Filed Under (LG-Glimmer info) by lg-phones on 04-01-2009

The touch screen on my LG Glimmer has been real off. I’ve tried calibrating it with my finger and with the pen, but no matter how many times, it has the strangest problems. It’s impossible to text and impossible to navigate menus. LG-Glimmer info

Whenever I’m typing a text on my LG Glimmer, I can press anywhere and it will sometimes just hit the end button, the send button, or the back button. Sometimes the back button keeps held down even though I don’t have a single finger on the screen and it just deletes the entire text.

Then, there’s always a problem where when I want to hit one letter and then it’s the letter under it or above it in a text.

So, it’s impossible to navigate menus since everything relies on the touch screen, and that’s the main problem. If I go to contacts, it’s impossible to select a contact. I try to select a contact, and instead the menu just jumps down about seven names. I have no idea why this happens at all.

If I try to go to a menu, the same stuff happens. If I try to navigate the menus it won’t recognize me touching it or will jump down to the bottom, like I said previously. Does anyone else have these problems?

i have the same problem, my touch screen is all messed up, when i try using it, it’ll go to random places i didnt even touch, it sucks, and i want to throw this piece of shit into a brick wall!

I have the same issues. I just sent mine back and told them it was defected because i thought it was just my phone. I guess it’s nice to know that I am not the only one having problems, but on the flip side it sucks because I am sure the replacement will have the same issues.

I had mine replaced at 2 months for this reason; problem was intermittent. The store said this was their first return of this sort. They extended the warranty by the 2mos I’ve had the account.

I had the same issue but it has progressed to the point where the screen is intermittently unresponsive. The longest stretch I had my phone screen not accept any inputs was 2 days.

I have a glimmer and the master sound went out. I haven’t had touch screen problems but it will not ring or play music but it does make other noises just not the main ring……? what do they replace you phone with if you have insurance on it?

My screen has gone bad twice.I cant do anything with the phone except make and receive calls.The things just junk and should be recalled immediately!

I’ve had 5 glimmers and they all do the same thing. I have all the same problems. I finally just stopped puttin my contacts back in them b/c i knew the stupid phone was gonna mess up again. They will exchange it as long as your warrenty isn’t up but now since there is no alltel and we are all verizon now idk what to do.

look, i have a glimmer too and we all have the some problems. the touch screen dose what it want to do and you cant navigate AT ALL! What we need now is find out whats the next step. What happens if our warranty runs out. Will LG replace this phone? What is out next step with this piece of shit phone?

I went to Verizon on Sunday because my simple lg glimmer’s touch froze up on me. The guy there was a smart alek and tried to blame it on how many text messages I had but any person who has one knows that you have to delete the messages just about everyday! Well, they are sending me ANOTHER glimmer and I know that it will eventually do the same thing. I’ll just go to the store and put on a fake nervous break down… maybe I’ll come out with a Blackberry :)
