> LG KC910 (Renoir) My Review
Bookmark topic
I have looked into the link and It only changes no7 on the volume control. U do have to go into every one of them to change it and on the 910 there are 20 of them.
I have since tried some different earphones, My self noise cancelling ones i use on the aircraft and they are a lot louder which is very stange. So im going to see how it goes.
But thanks for the Link which i have kept and will investigate further.
I can tell you that the Engineer menu on the KC910 and any LG phones for that matters is a powerful tool and very dangerous if you are not careful.

it doesn't just change the highest setting. you can choose to increase the volume of volume level 1, volume level 2, etc. it isn't really worth altering all settings - it's only necessary to set either the top one only or the top 2, at most .

Oh the KC910 Likes fingers, I think it even gets finger marks on it before ive even touched it lol
I do have a screen protector on tho (Got one on the phone and one free in the box) Im just ordering some more from LG.
Yes I looked at how it worked in the phone it self and noticed what i needed to do. The top 2 on mine are in + mode and not - mode, so its quiet easy to change that.
Im hoping that these earphones are ok, before i start to change things.
But the link has given me some useful info and its nice to know to help other people out too. Service menu isnt for the faint hearted tho, lol.
Brightspark Have you got the Viewty or the Renoir?

i have the viewty - a purple one
you can undo the changes by taking note of what you have changed and undoing the changes, accessing the service menu to factory reset it, or by flashing.
i have accessed my service menu to increase the loudness of the radio through headphones, the media player through headphones, and the loudspeaker. the changes remain even after switching the phone off.

Does anyone know any applications to download for the KC910? The SE site has a good selection of downloads for the K850 but I can't see the equivalent for LG anywhere.

Hi mate,
what network are you on? i'm with o2 and mine didn't come with google maps. i downloaded it but like you, no joy.
I've since installed mgmaps but i'm struggling to get that to work. I did download it on the phone though via the wap site but i did get the Jar one as you said. it doesn't seem to locate satelites though.
Does downloading it to your pc and transferring it across instead make any difference? i can't see why it would?
Even though i'd like to think of myself as pretty savvy when it comes to tech, could you do a quick idiots guide to getting the gps to work?
It'd be very much appreciated!
p.s. anyone else noticed that with the alarm, when you hit snooze it'll finish playing the file before it snoozes. fine with the default sounds that only last 3-4 seconds, but annoying when it won't stop playing a 3 minute .mp3 track until it finishes. (strangely i didn't think it did this the first time i used it but it is now).
Cheers,
Steve

Hi again,
just to let you know i don't know what i did but mgmaps is now working! well chuffed!
I've been investigating the whole alarm thing. it seems that a longer .mp3 will keep playing until the phone locks (i.e. 30 seconds or whatever you have it set to). if the file is shorter than that it will just stop at the end of the track.
Cheers!!

mine didn't come with any google stuff because it's orange branded, but i followed this guide to put all the google stuff on there:

there may well be differences with the renoir, but i dare say the principle is the same
