The battery in my LG VX3300 was shot so i switched it with my fathers phone thinking i was being intelligent becasue its the same battery, now all it says on the screen is "initial programming needed" and i cant make calls or send text messages. i have no idea what to do. please help.
I can not guarantee this Punksk8er but, i did the same thing with my phone by switching the battery with my mother's and I ended up with the initial programming needed sign. This is how i fixed it...
Go to...
>Menu
Select the option...
>Settings
Scroll down to...
>Phone Settings
Then Select the option...
>NAM selections
There you will see the options
>NAM1 &NAM2
Mine was on NAM2 and i switched it to NAM1.
The system restarted and the error "initial Programing needed" went away.
I am no phone expert or anything so I don't really understand how it works but i hope this helps you out dude.
Do you need your sim card in the phone when you dial *228 to activate it?!
