B'lore folks.. please give some pointers to shops offering the best price. The best I've got yet is 12,500. But am sure, there are shops selling this piece for less than that.

[spearhead121]

hi guys.. this is my first post here

im planing to buy an android phone in one or two days and iv shortlisted O1 and X8.iv done my home work and iv decided upon O1 but im still not able to rule out the SE X8 completely. the only con i can clearly see is 256mb of ram. can someone please tell me more cons on x8 over O1 so i can walk into the shop n become an optimus one user by tonight..

^^ Small screen, Android 1.6, costlier, no multitouch, no camera autofocus, only 168 mb ram

want more ????

[sam]

^^ Small screen, Android 1.6, costlier, no multitouch, no camera autofocus, only 168 mb ram

to make it easier for spearhead:

small screen: 3" only. a bit too small to properly.
Android 1.6: slow + apps have to installed in the phone memory.
costly: 14-15k whereas Optimus One cost 12k or less.
no multitouch: Android 1.6 doesn't have multitouch. i think Froyo is needed for it.
no camera autofocus: maybe the official X8 update to Eclair (wait 365 days more) that many are waiting will bring it, provided the camera is capable.
168Mb ram: 512Mb ram on LG Optimus One

i not know how can he say he done his homework

I still do not like to use Optimum T due to low memory unlike a smarphone has.

hey guys can someone tell me if we can turn off bollywoodji or somehow prevent it from connecting to internet without rooting?

[pauldmps]

OK so I was reading the reviews of O1 at various sites & also discussions related to it on other forums.

Now the most important negative point I found about the phone is the lack of Flash in browser. Even it is not possible to install Flash as the processor of the phone does not support Flash instructions.

Now the XDA forums had a thread in which users were complaining about being cheated by LG. They posted snapshots of the package of O1 clearly mentioning Flash 10.1 inbuilt while the phone was not flash capable.

Some users form other countries reported that only the "Indian" version of O1 has Flash inbuilt. The responses of various Indian users were more contradictory. Some state that Flash works on their browser while some say that it doesn't work.

Also the new O1 packages have a black tape pasted on the place where Flash support is written.

I would like to know what the O1 users have to say all about this issue.

@Prateek

I had posted a link to PowerAmp full version (recently cracked), but the forum moderator didnt approve the post n warned me of not spreading piracy on the forum !

Its available on 4shared.com or simple googling...just search for "PowerAmp full"..I hope the moderator has no problem with this post. If yes, dont show me the red card, a yellow card will do, since I aint aware if only linking is unallowed, or even talking abt pirated stuff, too.

@utkarsh
It can't be remove without rooting, if you don't have a data plan activated use the Data Package unable/disable toggle button present on the notification bar. Other than that I don't think it can be cut off from being able to connect to internet.

@pauldmps
Indian Optimus One being flash enabled is a myth. Even my box got flash lite support printed on it. It's LG fault.

Now the box comes with a black tape covered on the printed flash lite part

[dreatica]

@NainO how to remove after rooting ? z4root and ?

[sam]

i think flash lite is supported. but the full flash is not supported.

[utkarsh009]

^^is flash lite inbuilt in the phone?

[sam]

^^ no idea mate. but once read (in XDA forum) that one have to download it. & also Flash lite can't be compared to the full flash. in short, this mobile doesn't have or support flash.

[pauldmps]

& will never support due to limitations of the processor.

Also point to note is that it doesn't even support Flash lite as the users are complaining. That's a shame considering that even old Symbian phones have flash lite.

I am getting Class 10 - 8 GB SDHC CARD for 900rs, heard some problem with sandisk card. It is ok to go with this 8gb memory card ?

[sam]

as told before, have to flash the new firmware (the contacts, msg, etc) will not be affected but the mobile can't be rooted.

[dreatica]

as told before, have to flash the new firmware (the contacts, msg, etc) will not be affected but the mobile can't be rooted.

Sorry bro, I guess I miss that. Flash with which firmware ? which is the stable firmware to flash with ? v10c which is available ? or some other firmware and offcourse will it void the warranty with some european firmware like v10e ?

Thanks again bro.

[sam]

maybe it was in some different thread. i quite can't remember.

i think v10e (haven't visited XDA forum for a week, no news if new firmware out). no, if you update with LG firmware (not the modded one), till you not mess up the update procedure, there shouldn't be any problem & warranty won't be void.

also i can't say if v10c is a latest firmware for India & v10e for UK & nearby. but better flash the v10e. at least you won't face the SD card problem (many users facing mem card problem has replied the problem is gone) & there won't be any "Bollywood ji" (maybe theres something like hollywood ji )

welcome buddy

Hey guys;

I just bought optimus one, I was facing a problem connecting with pc via usb through LG PC suite. I have installed the pc suite given by the LG. I was able to connect to pc only through mass storage i.e; sd card. No other usb connecting options available in settings of the mobile..Plz some one help me out through this problem

O1 users help me.............

[guru_urug]

Im buying a phone soon....budget is upto 15k.
Ive searched for a lot of phones online..I liked the optimus one the most..Im no fanboy of any company...just want the best deal.

other contenders are:
galaxy 3 (obviously )
htc aria/gratia (froyo)
motorola quench xt5
dell xcd35
huawei x6 (amazing features..not yet launched..but specs are mindblowing!)

going by specs x6 is best..hands down..but huawei is a brand i havent heard of in India before....can anyone tell me if its good....'coz i can w8 till mid Jan for this phone...else wich other phone is good?

[sam]

^^ check the Samsung Galaxy 551 before finalizing LG O1. if the keyboard is usable, G551 is as good as LG O1 if not better.

don't consider Huawei as its battery sucks. Dell products are ZTE rebraded (most). so don't. Moto TX5 looks bad but you get a good camera. no idea about the HTC pair.

[niraj87]

Wat abt the price of Huawei IDEOS X6?

@Sam
LG sucked for half of the ppl here, but we have a great family of smartphone in the name of Optimus, n now everyone had gone mad at buying a Optimus One. Even before its launch, u've started claiming that its battery sucks etc..? There are many brands that are not known world-wide, but still start with weak products n gradually start creating better n then great products, while some of those less popular brand products are found to be better than those of the biggies. I thot it was a faltu Chinese company until I read abt them n then I was discovered that Tata Photon has been created by them n that they r a huge Telecom company. Lets try them.

Read comments at sites, ppl are excited abt this Huawei product, especially coz they sell at a lower cost. This is one of the comments on GSMarena page:

This phone has good genes. For those who still don't know Huawei, it is a huge networking and telecommunications equipment supplier. We just don't hear much about them because they deal more with institutions (telcos & mobile network providers, corporate enterprises, BPOs, etc.) than they do with consumers. In 2009, Huawei surpassed Nokia-Siemens to become the No. 2 supplier of global mobile network gear next to Ericsson

[sam]

i know & read about IDEOS series from Huawei & are terrific bang for buck but the battery they use can't be compared to others. i can't say about X6 but the entry level IDEOS battery is terrible (last 1 day at max with a 2.8" screen & a slow processor). but the X5 & X6 use 1Ghz processor, maybe Snapdragon. i can only hope the mobiles last 12hrs on 1 charge.

[DigitalDude]

^^^
X5 uses MSM7230 800Mhz processor and X6 uses QSD8255 1ghz processor both are 45nm soc's along with 1500mAh battery so obviously better batterylife than first gen snapdragons (65nm). the entry level huawei you are talking about has 2 generations old MSM7225 proccy (the one in G1) with 1200mAh battery.

and the G551 is just a galaxy 3 with a keyboard. I don't know how will it be better than O1.
