LG Tribute: Phone will not turn on

Fri, 12 Feb 2016 09:30:14 -0700

This morning I checked my phone and fell back asleep, only to wake up an hour later with the phone underneath me. It was warm, and has been unresponsive ever since. Charging it with different cables doesn't work, there's nothing obviously wrong with the charging port, and I tried to do a hard reset by holding the volume button down and the power button down at the same time. Still nothing. The phone is completely unresponsive.

LG Tribute: Microphone only works in speaker phone mode

Fri, 29 Jul 2022 11:56:34 -0700

When I make calls or try to change my voicemail greeting, the microphone on my LG Tribute 2 does not pick up any voice input unless I'm using the speakerphone. I haven't had any problems using voice input for Google searches or Google Maps and since I can still use the speaker mode, I don't think it's a problem with the outside of the microphone needing to be cleaned (there's no dust or lint).

Any ideas? I've only had the phone for a month and haven't dropped/damaged it . . . yet.

LG Tribute: Why won't it turn on?

Fri, 27 Sep 2019 06:16:00 -0700

I was watching a youtube video on my LG tribute and my screen went black. It's happened before, but I usually just pop the battery out and restart it but this time it didn't work. It shows the images of the starting screen when it's starting up but when it gets to my virgin mobile screen, where my lock screen would be it just goes black. I've tried to charge it up and I've tried to take the battery out for a day but that didn't work either. I can feel it vibrating when I hold down the power button but I have no idea what's wrong with it. I should probably mention that I accidentally spilled some water on my phone about 2 weeks ago, and I put it in rice and it was perfectly fine. I'm not sure if that's a factor of why this is happening or not. I can't afford to get a new phone and it has a bunch of important stuff on it. Please help!! Thank you.

LG Tribute: Transfer pictures and contacts

Wed, 28 Aug 2019 05:33:15 -0700

I recently dropped my phone and the screen is now ruined. It will not let you touch the screen or do any functions. I have a lot of contacts and pictures in the phone I need to access but cant because I do not have a sim card in the phone and the screen is gone. Is there any way I can get this information out of the phone or should I just let it go? Thanks!

LG Tribute: How can you fix a broken charging port?

Sun, 09 Dec 2018 14:16:13 -0700

It was late one night and I was talking to my boyfriend. My charger stopped working which was frustrating so I tried to fix it myself. Later on I touched the charging port with tweezers and I might have broken it. When I touch the power button a big zero pops up. I got a new charger and plugged it in and it still won’t work. I left my boyfriend on read for two days and I can only imagine how bad he feels, please help.

I dropped my phone in a toilet about two months ago, i dried it out with rice and it worked as good as new except for when I would turn my phone off after a few seconds my phone would restart and continue to restart and drain the battery. I got a new battery and it fixed the problem for a few days but it started restarting again. How can I fix this with out a whole new phone?
