Looking for a charger for your Lg W10? Our guide shows you the best deals and provides advice on charger types.
Important: We take no responsibility for chargers purchased that are incompatible with your device. Please check your user manual or product descriptions before you buy.
The good news is that unless you own an iPhone (which uses the Apple Lightning Charger), almost all smartphones on the market today use the standard 5 watt Micro USB connection. This is great for consumers because it means you can normally borrow a charger from someone else if your phone is out of juice (unless they own an iPhone of course). Many shopping centres and events also provide charging stations for this connection.
Charger types
Chargers can be classified into the following four categories:
USB Charger– This is normally a simple cable that connects from your phone (micro USB port) to your laptops or desktop PCs (normal USB port). They’re super cheap and super convenient. They are often included in your phone box, but we recommend you buy extras so you can leave one at home, one at work, one at friends place etc.
Mains Charger– These also normally come in your phone’s box, but it’s also useful to have them dotted around the house or workplace so you’re never far away from a re-charge.
Car Charger– If you have a car, you should get a car charger. These simply plug into your cigarette lighter and the other end plugs into your phone. We recommend buying one for each car that you own.
Portable Charger – Also known as an external battery pack, these are great for camping, festivals or going anywhere where you may not have a mains power supply. They come in many sizes ranging from tiny portable ones providing one charge, to large power packs allowing you to charge your device multiple times.

If you have a frield, child, or family member who frequently borrows your phone, but you want to make sure that your personal settings and apps don’t get messed up, using Guest Mode on your Lg W10 is the best solution.
Now not all phone models have a Guest Mode feature, but if your Lg W10 model has this, just follow the steps below to activate it:
- On the home screen, swipe down using two fingers.
- Look for the User icon (usually located at the top-right portion of the screen).
- Tap “Add Guest.”
- Fill in the form and follow other instructions to set up the Guest Mode profile.
- You may also tweak the settings of each profile by tapping on the Guest or User profile. This includes access to contacts, making calls, sending messages, and even access to images and other files.
- Just tap on a Guest/User name to use that mode. If you want to exit Guest Mode, just tap on your main user profile or remove the guest account entirely.
This method generally works for Android phone users. However, certain brands may have different variations in setting up the Guest profile. For Huawei phone users, you can add up to 3 guest user accounts.
Just follow these steps:
- Go to Settings → Users & Accounts → Users
- Tap “Add User” then start setting up the User Profile.
- Alternatively, you can tap “Add Guest” instead. From there, you can also set up the Guest profile.
You can manually set up the settings and allowable activities per user or guest. Just tap on a guest/user profile and tick certain boxes of which they may be allowed to do. This includes making calls, sending messages, and sharing contact records.
There is a great app called Moves by a company called Protogeo that makes use of your devices accelerometer to record your movements, whether by walking, cycling or running.
Go to the Play Store and search for Moves.
The Do Not Disturb is a very useful feature if you are in a meeting or somewhere where you want to block incoming calls or messages.
To enable Do Not Disturb, drag down your notifications and go into Settings – Sounds and notifications. Then under the Notifications section, press Do Not Disturb.
Once this is setup, you can allow exceptions for certain Apps. To set these up, press Allow Exceptions, then App notifications. You should now see a list of all of your Apps. Choose one and then select Set as priority.
Now, when notifications come in via this App and you have Do Not Disturb enabled, you should see the notifications.
If you have forgotten your custom unlock pattern, then don’t panic.
After 5 unsuccessful tries a button should appear saying ‘Forgot pattern’. Press this and you will be asked to enter your Gmail username/password.
The phone will then ask for a new unlock pattern. If you don’t have a Gmail account, then you might have to either call your carrier or factory reset your phone.
With the recent versions of Android you can now take photos while recording video by simply pressing the screen.
This will save that particular frame to the gallery while continuing to record video.
If you are browsing YouTube videos on your phone and they appear blurry, then this is usually because of your connection speed.
If you are using 3G / 4G and you’re in an area of low signal strength, then YouTube will sometimes automatically reduce the quality of the video. Unfortunately this can make the video very pixelated and of poor quality.
If you are using the standard Android browser, then when the video is in full screen, press the back button. Then press HQ and start playing it again.
If you are using another browser, then press the Settings icon on the bottom right of the YouTube video. Then change the quality.
This may improve the quality, but it may also lead to buffering issues.
Another solution is to use a WiFi connection, if one is available.
If you already have an Android phone, then simply ensure each of your old Contacts are stored on Google (rather than the Phone memory). This means your contacts are stored on Google’s servers under your Google/Gmail login. Then once you get the new phone, log in with your Gmail account and your Contacts will be automatically synced.
If you do not have an Android device, you need to find a way to Export your old contacts to a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file and save this to a PC. You may need to install the correct software for your phone first in order to do the export.
Then, if you don’t have a Gmail account, sign up for one.
Once that’s done, open Gmail. Go to Contacts, then press More – Settings – Import/Export Contacts. Then import the CSV to your Gmail contacts.
Then on your phone, go to Settings ?- Accounts – Google and then select ?Auto Sync to pull the contacts from Gmail to your phone.
Another method which is most helpful is to move all number from your old phone memory to your network Sim. Now insert this sim in new phone, and move all your contacts form SIM memory to Phone memory.
