Phone owned for less than a month

i had just gotten the phone a few weeks ago and problems started as soon as i turned it on.... thank god i had gotten insurance on it because in just this week i had 3 different lucid 2's and all of them were faulty. I will never make another purchase from lg again. one problem after the next is all you will get from this phone....

Going back to my basic phone. Smart phones are lame.

Phone owned for less than a year

All the phone reviews on this site are a lie, the batteries don't last for 15 days straight, that would mean they're better than most basic phones and everyone knows that is not true. Smart phone batteries last one or two days with casual to standing time use. I own this phone and the battery life is horrible. All my features, apps, and wifi are off and phone lasts for a day....maybe. If I have my alarm set to wake me up in the morning the phone just dies and of course there is no alarm to wake me.

What I like

nicely finished and sculpted, while strongly built.
good screen, and graphic technology.

What I don't like

very short battery, but all smart phones may be the same.
battery gets warm in my pocket or sitting on bed.
Alarm App drains the battery in a few hours.

Phone owned for less than a month

A "low-end", compact device it may seem, but it packs enough processing power and size fits really well. As a very experienced smartphone user who owns a lot of devices and flashes ROM often, I can say that this thing amazes me even without having a custom ROM loaded.
You still have to root and debloat it to make it run smooth enough, though.
