Hey, figured someone may be able to help me. My LG Xenon GR500R on the Bell network has become pretty much a big pain in the butt recently.
1) Most times when receiving multiple (2+) texts in succession when on vibrate, like I usually have it, it will continue vibrating for a very long time. Today, I timed it for more than 7 minutes before finally taking out the battery. This is where the big problems start coming in...
2) After re-inserting the battery, I cannot access my inbox at all. Instead, I just get a message from the phone saying "SIM card initializing". That is all it will say for hours without a change.
2b) Also during this time, the microSD card is not recognized whatsoever.
3) After this, I remove the battery for an extended amount of time (anywheres from 10min to 2 hours). Usually this will clear the SIM card problem. If not, I will continue to repeat this step until it does work.
4) After all of that, it takes a few tries of removing and injecting the SD card before the phone will recognize that it is there. I do not make the mistake of turning off the phone during this step anymore, or it will take me right back to Step 2.
Now, I have tried using the LG Mobile Support program offered on the site (
http://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/product/support-product-profile-mobile-redux.jsp?customerModelCode=GR500R&matchedModelCode=NOT_MATCHED&searchEngineModelCode=GR500R&initialTab=documents&targetPage=support-product-profile#), but that ended up in a big fail as they did not have the GR500R driver, nor did any of the manual inputs work (saying that basically, my phone does not exist to LG I guess).
Soooooooooooooooooo, thats pretty much it right there. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
