How do I perform a
Factory data reset?
Resetting the phone does not erase
any system software updates you have
downloaded or any files on your microSD
card or internal memory, such as music
or photos. And so, if you want to erase
all the data on the internal memory while
resetting the phone, select the check box
of Erase internal memory.

How can I perform a

2. When the phone is switched off, press and
hold the Volume down key + Home key
with your left hand. Then press the Power

How to use APN

The first thing you'll need to do is find the right APN settings for the network you want to use. For example below are the APN settings for Straight Talk.
Name- straight talk
APN-tfdata
Port-80
MMSC-http://mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy-mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port-80
Once you have all this information, grab your phone. Settings>wireless/network settings. More options>mobile networks.
Once you found mobile network settings, rest will be the same on all devices. Look for "Access Point Names" then tap on it.
You should see a list with at least one APN. Add new.
This is where you will enter the settings you got from your carriers website. 2 very important things here:
    1.Not every setting in the "edit access point" screen will need filled in.
    2.Be sure to type in everything exactly as provided by your carrier. Once you have settings provided by your carrier entered, you need to save the APN. You do that by pressing the 3 dots in upper right and selecting "save" option.
    Once your APN information is saved, go back one screen to the list we saw earlier. On this screen, tap the new APN settings you just entered to make active.

What is an APN and how do change it

My Phone is stuck on the Blue TracFhone screen and unless you remove the battery it won't shut off.

The Android software is not loading. You can get a new sim card from Tracfone that will fix the problem.

When i turn phone on it just blinks on and off the tracfone wireless inc. symbol

You should run a recovery on the operating system to fix the corruption that's preventing boot. If the onboard recovery fails you will need to load a new recover rom. Instructions on how to do this can be found through a quick google search. If the phone is under warranty you might try contacting the manufacturer.

Can i make my lg 8300 work on straight talk?

No. Straight Talk refuses to allow Verizon phones to be used on their service.

Straight talk only uses Verizons towers, they are a tracfone company, and tracfone doesn't accept any phones but their own.
