The LG Optimus One Thread

[noja]

go to the connection manager and enable 2g/edge data.

In what all areas does it excel...and how much is the cost?

In camera (5 MP vs 3 MP)
And in software-hardware integration
See this quote made by gsmarena

It even managed to outperform the LG Optimus One P 500 , which runs Froyo on the same CPU. We’re guessing its software wasn ’t set up as well as the Gratia one.

Expect the price to be on heavy side (even more heavier than widfire)

hey i cant get RockPlayer in Market, and when clicked at the link which infinite has given, market is saying its not available.

How to get it, iam unable to scan that image too, ive downloaded xling bar code scanner but how can i scan the image in webpage, it uses camera, right? i ve tried using it by scan barcode of my mobile box but it takes heck of a time

Please give me a link and a solution to it.

[jagg89]

Hii Guys.. i'll be buying the Optimus one in few days.. this will be my 1st android phone... Finally after so much waiting

my query right now is that i hav an airtel postpaid connection n i dont hav any internet data plan right now.. n i dont want to get a data plan as of now coz i can use wifi mostly where i go n at home also.. so i think some apps constantly use internet so will i be able to turn them off or stop them from using Gprs when i cant use wifi?? coz if they use gprs constantly den my bill will be too long

Thanks.

[iNFiNiTE]

@pratik385: Looks like the app is not availble in the market. You can try downloading directly from HERE .
As for scanning the image on webpage, you can scan them with your phone when the page is opened on a PC.

@jagg89: Congrats! keep us posted.
Yep, you can turn off gprs/data connectivity. The notification bar at the top of the screen provides one touch start/stop toggles for WiFi-Bluetooth-GPS-Data. And also, you can use wifi and gprs separately (keep one ON and the other OFF)

[jagg89]

ok cool! Thanks iNFiNiTE!

Hopefully will get the phone in 1 week..

[pratik385]

guys, which 3G services are good ?
iam planning to get it as airtel gprs sucks

Bsnl Vs Docomo Vs Idea

also please tell me also call rates, which will be vfm and kam me bam

[siddhesh222]

Using the phone since a month and couldn't be more satisfied!. Rooted, am on prime v2 now, will check out void. When exams get over i.e.monday

[noja]

why do we need to root the phone? its good as it is. I can use auto desk sketchpad on my phone even when the requirement is of 1ghz cpu.
but how do I stop the gallery from reading my zip image archives?

[hoha7]

Hey im juz on the verge of buying this awesome phone but i juz have one doubt in my mind, Is every1 facing the sd card unmounting probs?

[me1]

Am I the only one who is using the stock keyboard? I've been meaning to download the gingerbread keyboard for a while now, but never got around to it. I'm too lazy..
Offlate, I noticed that the keyboard I'm using lags. It wasn't lagging before..any idea why it lags?
Just to clarify, by lag, I mean, when I type a letter it doesnt show up immediately, it takes some time.

That list of apps seems good, though I didnt download any. I did check a few, they were all from the market, its a good thing because lazy people like me don't have to search for them elsewhere

[sam]

@hoha7, no only some ppls face that problem. usually using 8Gb SanDisk Class 4 cards.

@me1, the lag many say is cause of the processor but i say its cause of bad code optimisation. so a different keyboard mayn't solve the problem but heard Gingerbread update should. also to port gingerbread kb, i think rooting is needed? or did i missed something?

[me1]

Really? A different keyboard is not going to solve the problem?
Saves me the trouble of downloading a new keyboard. No, rooting is not required to get the gingerbread keyboard.

It doesn't lag all the time, but it does sometimes..and Iam noticing this lately. This keyboard is annoying, not only because of the lag..but for many other reasons. Either I hsven't gotten around to using this effectively..or it is simply annoying. Sooner or later I will have to get the other keyboard

use swype dude.....it doesn't lag atleast on my o1......its great....

over a week now with my o1....surely a must buy....but camera isnt impressive....my earlier nokia 3120c's 2mp cam+flash could take better than 01......but again its not that much of a thing for me...

rockplayer plays mkv files painfully slow.....its so lagging except the divx files....have anyone used vplayer??? does it play mkv videos smooth?

what is apps to sd pro? does it install all apps on the sd card? also the ones which don't give you the option to install on the sdcard.

[pratik385]

@gtcdon,

Yes, mkv file are very frustating to watch, i thinks its resolution problem, i will try downloading 480p mkv file, will tell you about it.


Well after 4 days i have well organised my O1 d/w apps and games, Now Loving it. Thanks to everyone out here for suggesting me esp Sam.shab, Nain0, infinite.

Guys,

Do post some Awesome Games here.

Is there any site for d/w all apps, games, etc from PC and then copying it to SD ?

[sam]

i am not fully sure but this lag problem occurs when playing games & when typing. also HTC Gracia has a slower H/W but doesn't lags & offers slightly better performance. so, gingerbread update should solve it (modded roms won't. they use original LG ROMs).

It doesn't lag all the time, but it does sometimes..and Iam noticing this lately. This keyboard is annoying, not only because of the lag..but for many other reasons. Either I hsven't gotten around to using this effectively..or it is simply annoying. Sooner or later I will have to get the other keyboard

gingerbread keyboard looks far better in that case.

use swype dude miss .....it doesn't lag atleast on my o1......its great....

[gtcdon]

what is apps to sd pro? does it install all apps on the sd card? also the ones which don't give you the option to install on the sdcard.

no it only allows to install those apps which has the capability to be installed into sd card...the difference is pro version is free of ads...

@gtcdon,

Yes, mkv file are very frustating to watch, i thinks its resolution problem, i will try downloading 480p mkv file, will tell you about it.

even 360p mkv files lag on rockplayer......someone pls try vplayer....its a paid app from market...i cant afford to buy it as i dont have a debit/credit card and no cracked version released yet...

[NainO]

No buddy, its video problem. mkv videos even make samsung wave sweat (720p, where it plays mp4 videos with same resolution just fine).
mkv video rendring is a tough task. I dont think 480p resolution would make any difference.
But give it a try and let me know if it worked

Thanks to everyone out here for suggesting me esp Sam.shab, Nain0, infinite.

YOUR WELCOME MATE

Is there any site for d/w all apps, games, etc from PC and then copying it to SD ?

Try getandroidstuff dot com.
Its still in its initial stage so dont expect availability of all apps

[utkarsh009]

Hey can anyone tell me about the GPU of lg optimus one p500 vs. GPU of galaxy 5. One of my friends (galaxy 5) gets 39.1 fps on nenamark while I(optimus) get only 29 fps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sam]

GPU of Optimus One is Adreno 200 which is just sufficient for most mobile games. best way to test the scores is to use quadrant. not know what GPU G5 uses. maybe Samsung's in house SoC.

[siddhesh222]

O1's GPU is supposed to be better than G5's but I don't know which GPU g5 uses.

[NainO]

@utkarsh
Just as Sam said - try quadrant

[utkarsh009]

Yah! I tried quadrant. It gives me an overall score of 404. Its it good? Also how can I check my previous results when I am not connected to net.

[siddhesh222]

If you want to increase scores, enable stagefright.

[utkarsh009]

^^ how to enable stagefright?????????

[pratik385]

Guys, Ive tried 480p Resolution mkv files, but still its lagging

BTW

Advance task killer is good or bad for Mobile ?
Coz ive read in AndroidForum, that its not good.

[NainO]

^^^ as expected

And use of ATK is controversial, some say it's useful while other decline it.
For me it's necessary.

[siddhesh222]

Hey guys I just installed #void delta over my prime v2 and I gotta say its effing amazing!. Totally loving it and I'm on 710Mhz now instead of 600Mhz which is a considerable amount of difference . I recommend you all update to that

Now putting back my 3D games and stuff lets see how they fair.

@utkarsh

Well that depends on which ROM you are using. I know how to do it on #void but dunno about stock or prime.

@pratik

maybe try overclocking/flashing to megatron. I guess that should help.

PROTIP: It will drain your battery real fast though xD

[utkarsh009]

^^ can it be done on original firmware? Coz I don't wanna install a custom ROM.
