Samsung Galaxy 3 vs LG Optimus One

[ladoo1985]

where exactly in pune? I might buy from there.

Pimpri Market, PCMC, near to OLD-Mumbai pune highway.

[dreatica]

never seen such wide acceptance of LG mobiles. i guess already have went past G3 number here !!!

I'm going to try this phone tomorrow for sure. Never ever thought people will accept LG phones

I was scared of manufactures like Samsung and LG, but after purchasing Galaxy S, I think Samsung did a great job.

Need a low end phone for my brother, he is using 5233. I want him to move to android now, is it worth to sell 5233 and buy LG Optimus one which is "reviewed by digit members". ?

[siddhesh222]

@Sam.Shab: Yeah man It's kind of unexpected! But I guess I'll get to know tomorrow when I'm going to buy it .Just can't wait for tomorrow to come . I hope they have no stock issues :/

@dreatica: Yes, you should go with that, it's a great phone according to reviews as well as user opinion

[tejaslok]

I digest you to read the whole thread from the start.

noja since i must choose b/w LG and samsung so there is no latest price of G3 posted here but only LG so i asked the latest price >?

[sam]

LG O1 cost 12k & G3 cost around 10.8-11k. and G3 isn't VFM at all over 10.5k.

Guys using it for 2 days. I am quite happy with it. Though battery seems to be not
Like nokia . But touch is okay. Occassionally some nor respnding happens. There
Is no lag on the software. Browser is great but missing flash. And on the manual
Provided by lg its written that upto 320*240 divx support. But plays 640*320 mp4
Files without any lag. And usb tethering works well.

LG is on a roll - just a day after the LG Optimus 2 X powerhouse went official , LG officially confirmed the existence of LG B . It 's a super-thin droid with a screen that might turn out better than both Retina and SuperAMOLED.

- Quoted by GSMarena

LG on fire!!! Recovering at a good pace

[tejaslok]

^yup LG is gaining its place back again

nice one LG !

wat would u think the price of LG 2X would be >?

[NainO]

^^^
Nexus 1 - HTC
Nexus 2/S - Samsung
Nexus 3/? - ???

@tejaslok
No clue. But hope it may compete with Nexus S head on (both in price and features)

[sam]

^^ chances are, Nexus 3 (ever produced) will be made by Motorola. awaiting announcement of Motorola Shadow.

nah. If I am right, Google will keep only one model of Nexus in the market. Nexus 3 won't come out till S reached EOL.

Google isn't a mobile manufacturer & theres no reason for them to flood market with mobile.

Further View:

Battery lasted for 1.5 days and EDGE was on the whole time.
Heavy texting.
Brightness 50%
1.5 + Hrs of calls.
Google and FB sync was on.
80+ plus files transferred over BT.


Trying the battery now without EDGE till now:

Super heavy texting.
2+ hrs of calls.

[sam]

^^ nice backup till now. looks like LG did a good job optimizing the codes to draw less power.

[PoisonReverse]

Anyone from Bangalore pick up this phone (LG O1)?? How does it cost out here?

[zeu5]

and for those worrying about media player.. i played a 720*360 avi video without any lag.. using mvideo player.. optimus one.. rocks.

[jetboy]

Guys anyone tried rooting O1... Some of the pre-installed apps are booooring..(bollywoodji )...Man these irritate like hell.

I would like to ask/clear some doubts...Even after killing some apps they still start up...Isnt there any way that we can stop them permanently..Something like when I want I will start it and keep it shut off other times...I always see around 8-10 apps running in baclground ...some not even necessary.

If my battery is around 85-90% at around 10pm at night,,,it goes down to 25-20% till 7am in the morning even if I am not touching it or running anything on it..Is it normal?

Taskkiller is already provided by LG..is there a need to install advanced task killer?

[ultimategamer]

@jetboy
I am from nashik,from whrere you buy LG O1 and at what price?

[sam]

@jetboy, try some other task killer. the one provided by LG isn't good. also to control these apps, turn GPRS off. maybe that will silent them temporarily.

Don't worry about the memory issue with this phone. FROYO automatically clears memory when free RAM is less than 60 mb or so... If you want, use a memory optimizer instead to increase this limit.
Task killers are not much useful for FROYO. Kill the apps and they restart in a minute.

For battery, disable wifi and GPS and turn off autosync. Don't use live wallpaper. This should help you save some battery power.

this is true it perform more than the specification of the mobile...

Jetboy nd me got the phone from "Shubham telecom" it is opposite Adlabs..

I doubt he has the stock, as he bought the phone after I told him. Just to see the response he bought very few pieces and it was sold out real fast.. check with him or you can PM me your number I can check with and forward you the details..

Guys, I don't see the point of rooting Optimus since it has stock Froyo and Gingerbread is announced.

Top 10 Reasons To Root Your Android Phone

Most of the reasons mentioned in the above link aren't valid anymore.

Here are my arguements in contrast to the above link^^ ( I'm an amateur, so feel free to correct me)

1. If you're talking about performance improvements, the only case I've heard about is G1 and mytouch 3g. Haven't come across any source saying so about Optimus One.

2. I don't have any reason to overclock my phone, it runs fast enough without any lag with launcherpro.

3. Apps2SD doesn't require root access.

4. I don't think Optimus One has any unavailable features. Yes, flash is missing, but that can't be solved by rooting

5. Majority of the applications don't require root access.

6. Optimus One has Multitouch by default

7. Optimus One has Wifi and bluetooth tethering by default too. I've tried Wifi and it works. Not sure about bluetooth.

8. I don't think I need to root for a better keyboard

And if you're saying you just want to root to remove the default applications, I beg to differ, I'd rather stay with those 'annoying' apps than void my warranty. ( Unless its like you can remove the default apps and then unroot xD, then I'll go for it )

[niraj87]

@all -

We were comparing the multimedia capabilties of Samsung and LG phones very recently.

1. I tried Rock player n found that its an awesome piece of software that played everything I tried with it, like mpg, mpeg, dat, avi, in addition to the usual mp4. I've not tried 720p, but cant even afford to store huge sized files on my 8gb SD card, which is the case with many users that prefer carrying many satisfying videos than few high-res ones (due to limited space on the SD card), n so the 720p doesnt matter to many.

2. Mixzing player (found a full version at last) and Audio player EQ(greatt equlizer), while PowerAmp cracked version not out yet.

Also, if anyone wants a great equalizer, a player called "LCG jukebox" has a hugely effective equalizer, but only the trial version is available.

Guys, I don't see the point of rooting Optimus since it has stock Froyo and Gingerbread is announced.

Miss.blooywood ji is one good reason to root. i'll prefer a Hollywood ji over bolywood ji. seriously, what was LG thinking when it choose such stupid apps for a mobile didn't they tied it out or gave it to a few of their working stuff & check if the added apps increases functionality or makes the mobile a semi-working piece of junk.

2. I don't have any reason to overclock my phone, it runs fast enough without any lag with launcherpro.

as read in XDA Forum, the processor can be OC'd to 840Mhz or so. almost all the MSM7227 can be OC'd to around 720-740Mhz from base 600Mhz. i know, it isn't a good idea to OC processor as it may fry the chipset, or make mobile run hot & surely will affect the backup. but those who wants the extra kick in gaming, i think a fast processor (750Mhz) + 512Mb ram + Adreno 200 GPU will offer some good gaming.

but it isn't a necessity. only for the die hard mobile gamers, they may consider. but even in stock the performance is satisfactory to say the least, thanks to the good GPU.

3. Apps2SD doesn't require root access.

most "Apps2SD doesn't require root access."

4. I don't think Optimus One has any unavailable features. Yes, flash is missing, but that can't be solved by rooting

true. AKAIK Flash lite sucks. also the screen isn't big enough to try full desktop like browsing & 1 thing, which i like is. no flash = no *bling* *bling* ads.

6. Optimus One has Multitouch by default

yup.

8. I don't think I need to root for a better keyboard

you may need. Gingerbread keyboard thrashes froyo keyboard face first. froyo/lg keyboard + swype <<< Gingerbread kb.

Unless its like you can remove the default apps and then unroot xD, then I'll go for it

i think it is possible. but you got one good point afterall

someone please call desibond. he may have a better idea of this point.

[siddhesh222]

Sure, bollywoodji is a good reason to root, a very good one, indeed, But, would you risk bricking(SERIOUS ****)/voiding your warranty over uninstalling a stupid app which is ignored anyways?

Well I got Angry Birds and it only lags A BIT when those green pig guys make their wierd sound lol.And that's the only game I have played till now, so yeah, no idea about others.

Btw, do I need to root to use Swype? Either that, or like many guys say, it is only supported on Samsung phones? And that's the only reason I would like to root for ^^ ( And Titanium Backup )

Gonna check out Gingerbread keyboard

Btw, also checked out roms available for p500, the only good one I found was Amberhome, IMO people should wait before rooting their phones till a better rom comes out.

[sam]

Sure, bollywoodji is a good reason to root, a very good one, indeed, But, would you risk bricking(SERIOUS ****)/voiding your warranty over uninstalling a stupid app which is ignored anyways?

bricking from rooting? where you found this? but after the new firmware rooting isn't possible using the normal app way.

Well I got Angry Birds and it only lags A BIT when those green pig guys make their wierd sound lol.And that's the only game I have played till now, so yeah, no idea about others.

future games may lag a bit. on the other hand, on G3 those games mayn't even start.

Btw, do I need to root to use Swype? Either that, or like many guys say, it is only supported on Samsung phones? And that's the only reason I would like to root for ^^ ( And Titanium Backup )

Swype? i don't think so.

BTW what is nandroid backup? any idea?

Btw, also checked out roms available for p500, the only good one I found was Amberhome, IMO people should wait before rooting their phones till a better rom comes out.

megatron is another good one but the guy who modded it also went for a beta kernal. so better stay away till he gives the green signal.

also someone in XDA is trying port CM 6.1 to P500 (modded HTC legend CM 6.1 ROM).

[niraj87]

@Siddhesh

I use the Gingerbread keyboard and Swype on my LG GT540 - Eclair. In fact, Gingerbread launcher is available too. You dont require root access for any of these. Almost everything works on LG Optimus series btw.

Get the Gingerbread Keyboard on Any Android Phone, No Root Required (xda forum link)

There is no need to "find" anything. Its a common knowledge that if the rooting is unsuccessful, you risk bricking your phone, that is, rendering your phone useless.

future games may lag a bit. on the other hand, on G3 those games mayn't even start.

I don't think he was asking for comparison with G3. But since you are so sure, enlighten us *which* games u think won't even start on G3.
