Technical issues

Update issues

Several users reported an error while updating their handsets to Windows Phone 7.5 via Zune which only seemed to affect users with firmware versions 1.0.1.12 and 1.1.2.10. Newer versions of the firmware do not seem to have this problem. Certain users have reported the error has been removed after re-flashing their device ROM via an Authorised LG Support Center or restoring the previous version of their device and updating to Mango again.

Overheating

The Optimus 7 has a tendency to heat to a high temperature, while the handset is left to run an application for an extended period of time. This behavior has also been noted during charging. Due to the device's metal battery cover, the handset tends to retain any heat generated.
It has also been reported that after reaching high temperatures, the phone can reboot. Upon rebooting, the phone can hang on LG startup logo indefinitely, or until the user resets the device manually.
