The LG Optimus One Thread

[Mr.rebel]

5 months used lg optimus one for Rs.6000 including all accessories and screen guard with 7months warranty

is that a good deal ?
urgently required your suggestions.

thanks in advance

[sam]

yes if the mobile is in perfect condition.

[Mr.rebel]

will meet him tomorrow for checking it.

it is updated to gb and also rooted. does the rooting voids it's warranty?
is it good to buy a rooted phone? since I haven't used any android phone yet, I don't know anything about these stuffs

[sam]

^^ nope. rooting doesn't void warranty. & even if someone says it does, unrooting is easy.

check 1 more thing: if there is any dust under the screen. inspect closely. old models (mfg before 2011) have this problem.

[RizEon]

The default browser icon went missing(photo) . I thought reinstall wud fix it so i removed n reinstalled it from titanium backup but that dint work...no more default browser. On google i found the app under do NOT remove list.
I downed the apk n copied it to system/apps..changed its permission to match others (read for all, write for user) n that was supposed to fix it for prev users but dint work for me....the odex file wasnt created either n running the apk says package not installed.
Tried wid packages frm two differentsources...same issue... did it to a 3rd 'metroWEB' browserz apk...it showed up in menu immediately but kept force closing.
Any idea whats wrong?? This shouldve worked.

[Mr.rebel]

checked that mobile, perfectly alright. looks new.

but he says a price of 8k

what should i do?
considering the fact that, the lg optimus one market price is still above 10k , is it worth spending 8k for a 5 month used phone (GB update, rooted, 7 month warranty, extra case, screen guard, no scratch ) ??

if no, what is the maximum price i can spend for that dream?

[NainO]

^^^ IMO he is demanding too much for a 5 month old phone...

earlier he was quoting 6k. don't pay penny more than 7k. else wait a month. once O.Net & G.Y are freely available, O.Net should get priced at 9k or so. grab it then.

[Mr.rebel]

thankyou all for your valuable advice.
I'll wait for 10 more days.
but I'm eager to get an android.
it's hard to wait more

bargained and he agreed for 7300.
how is it?

show him the market price of Optimus Net. 7k will be a better price for an used mobile.

[Gollum]

fixed.
in other news, gollum found out that more and more budget smartphones are now equipped with a 1ghz CPU. So why go for slower ones.

Anyone here using Mik's 6.5.8?? Please put your inputs

Well, I followed the thread over XDA, but it seems that few facing many bugs and few of them no bug at all.

I didn't felt like updating till now as I was really happy with my present ROM + Kernel, i.e. 6.5.7 + GBS v18a

But nowadays I get too many FC's, black screen bug appeared out of nowhere, phone hangs, wakelocks etc.

So thinking of updating and trying the new ROM.

As this is my primary phone, I dont like testing ROM's like others.

[gmg9]

same here .. . didn't update aftr seeing 6.5.8 feedbck. I am happy with 6.5.7 + ffk 19.4cfs, getting fc for markets, dsp n a few apps ..
bt no bb bug yet .. sometimes wifi needs to reenable .. I think oc n governor r responsible for this ..
mine oc @ 480/768 smoothass v2...
state urs ... try to change governor or try not to oc .. see if da probs continue ...

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Ya, I've 480/768 SmartassV2 OC'd.

Thanks, will try changing Governer and not to OC, one by one and provide feedback.

[sam]

no FC but wakelock problem is there. maybe after i flashed goldenleaf kernel.

[Neo]

6.5.8 is not that good. I tested it and now i'm back to 6.6.1.
and when i tried it with francos kernel 19.4 , the black screen bug totally took over. Not getting the screen at all.
Also DSP manager doesn't work in there...

[sganesh]

Currently im using V20C which has lot of problems like worst battery life,GPS not working so on..Even with data connection diabled its not giving even 1 day without charging..
Which is Best Softwareversion available for LG optimus one?

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Hmm thanks for your opinion.

Actually don't know why my setup started creating problems. The main problem is Launcher gets FC now and then. I'm using Launcher Pro.

Lets see if changing governer helps as gmg9 suggested, I was using SmartassV2, now I shifted to InteractiveX, seems more stable than before.

Lets see for few days, otherwise I need to stop OC'ing my device. Looks like it's dying

[sam]

time for some oxygen? anyone tried it?

[krishnandu.sarkar]

What's that?? :O

Wow..!! Didn't noticed..!! How about AOSP??

[sam]

i think oxygen ROM is a mix of AOSP + CM. too lazy to google i'll go for a tried & tested ROM than a brand new project (AOSP).

currently only 2 AOSP available. one is Andy's. tested it when first released but it too suffering from blackscreen bug & bad lockscreen. the 2nd AOSP is still raw. but looks promising.

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Nice, lets wait and see the feedback for Oxygen.

[Neo]

currently only 2 AOSP available. one is Andy's. tested it when first released but it too suffering from blackscreen bug & bad lockscreen. the 2nd AOSP is still raw. but looks promising.

Andy's ROM is CAF and not AOSP.

[sam]

The new rom is based on CodeAurora's Android Gingerbread, CM7 and android open source code (2.3.4 and 2.3.5).

actually its a mix of 3, not just AOSP.

[Chetan1991]

My O1 is generating background static noise. it is not just the speaker as ive checked with the earphones as well. Could it just be dust inside the phone?? anyone else experienced this??

[AndroidFan]

I am very disappointed with the overall Android experience provided by companies like LG and Samsung. Hackers have to do all the heavy lifting for these companies to make their devices VFM... Imagine Optimus One on stock ROM... it is complete ****...

I am sorely disappointed to find out the LG won't be updating world's first dual core Android phone, LG Optimus 2X to Ice Cream Sandwich... -- LG confirms no Ice Cream Sandwich for Optimus 2X - SlashGear

This is so sickening... I will try my best to ensure my next phone is a Nexus... No more going after unreliable OEM phones... Come June 2012, I will get a Nexus... that is the only option now... else will go for Nokia WP7/WP8 device...

Dont worry, LG Optimus 2X will get ICS update after all, the saga is over

[AndroidFan]

Optimus 2X does not even have official Gingerbread ROM yet... and we are to believe they will update it to ICS... lol...

LG, you can't fool customers now...
