I came here to answer computer questions. (This used to say "...and nothing more.")


What I meant was, I don't know how much help I would be with other things... NOT that I would be upset if you asked a non computer question!

I just got an LG Vu plus for my birthday. I noticed at the top of the screen you can see that there's two circular lights. I don't know what they're for because I haven't seen them light up. My phone came with a tutorial CD not an intrustional pamphlet, and the CD won't work on my computer. So I was wandering if anyone knew what they were for..? (link)
Hi there,

As a note for the future: Just because the cd doesn't do anything automatically, doesn't mean that there is nothing on it or that it doesn't work. If you open "my computer" and click the cd/dvd drive you will be able to see what is on any disc that doesn't automatically launch.

Your user manual is probably right there waiting for you. :-)

As for the "lights" you mention, I had no idea. I read the user manual and still had no idea... so I found a diagram of the parts of the phone and sure enough, they aren't lights. They are the phone's proximity sensor. Here is an excerpt from the manual:

"Proximity sensor
When receiving, making and during calls, this sensor automatically turns the backlighting off and locks the touch keypad by sensing when the phone is near your face or ear.
This makes the battery life last longer and prevents the touch keypad from accidental keypresses during a call.
Users, therefore, do not have the inconvenience of having to lock and unlock the phone during calls."

Here is a link to the page with the user manual and such:

The one listed as "Specifications" is actually the manual.

There is a lot of handy info about your new phone and all the ways you can use it. The user guide was also written in a very friendly style, and seems easy to read.

Looks like a really nice phone. I hope it serves you well.
