Guys, is this phone good for games, or does the low resolution 320x480 limit its app compatibility? I want Android not Symbian but I don't want something too expensive.

Is LG really that bad? Is the warranty good?

What is SAR, can someone explain?

TY

Any OPTIMUS ONE users care to comment on a few things:

- is texting good
- does it lag or is it quite fast mostly
- are there compatible screen covers and casing protectors you are using

TYVM I am thinking of buying soon.

Oh I see, that's good to hear.

Price should ideally be RM830-850.

If anyone has seen a low price please let me know.

Also, how does LG warranty work?

So now Honeycomb (Android 3.0) is out.

WTF? Most of the phones still use 1.5/1.6/2.1!

Getting a Froyo now for ~RM850 doesn't seem like such a good idea all of a sudden.

Just got LG Optimus One from LY at RM 870 + RM20 (for screen protector, slip casing, 2gb memory card). Nice one, but compare to Galaxy 5 which i used early, sound setting quite soft. but overall is very good.

Any pictures of the phone, screen protector, casing? smile.gif Comments on performance and apps when you've gotten used to it, please.

Also guys what is "root" ?

What about phone casing?

Looks like everyone is pretty pleased, and silicone protective covers are available.

Are there any apps so far that do not work (are not compatible) or lag really badly or give errors?

We can use internet on the phone with home Wifi connection right?

Hmm, now I'm ready to buy the RM808 one. It's legit and comes with screen protector and pouch, and I'm assuming the full package (including 2GB card).

Apart from LowYat where else can I find the silicone cover in PJ/KL?

Any pics of the Optimus One silicone cover? Is it too bulky or very good?

Nice.

So, this costs ~RM15-18?

RM808 + that for phone, 2GB, screen protector, and cover. Not bad.

Apart from online, where can I get this silicone case/cover?

Yeah, which shop sells with 8GB card, and @ what price? How much is the 8GB card or a 2GB card anyway?

In PJ/KL area, where can I buy the silicone case/cover? Only online?

Guys, apart from ordering through Askar Perang, where else can I buy the case and screen protector in PJ/KL? I don't want to buy from Askar because the post says "no COD".

I need the case and screen protector urgently.

Thank you.

Let's say I don't have a data plan subscription, just a normal phone plan using 3G capable sim card, will the Optimus One be able to use Internet/GPRS/3G (non Wifi) services when newly switched on or via apps usage?

Wow, so the new phone can actually use data/internet from Maxis even though I haven't subscribed anything or entered any settings into the phone - was afraid this could happen. I'm not even sure how it does this, but I suppose the phone apps/settings automatically seek out the network and start downloading.

So, before I insert my Maxis sim, I'll just switch off/disable 3G? That's all?

Thank you!

Alright, just got my phone.

How to switch off 3G/HSPDA/any internet that can be used over Maxis?

I can't find the Widget/Connection Manager thingy to turn it off.

So many apps, only 1GB space left!

Thanks.

Ooh thanks I found the widget thing, and yeah I knew the network thing already.

When I put a new adhesive screen protector on, do I need to remove the stock plastic film on the screen first, or does it not matter?

Apps downloaded, if they go to internal memory, what's the easiest way to move them to the memory card?

Also, games like Angry Birds say they have to have "full internet access". Once I switch off 3G / set 2G only, they'll be cut off and cannot sneakily access internet (non Wifi) on their own right?

So, should I peel off the stock plastic, or just add the protector layer on top of that (double)?

1. How do I set another MP3 (other than the Ringtone) as Alarm tone?

2. How do I set any MP3 as Message/SMS tone?

3. How do I see where my files (downloaded apps, transferred music over Bluetooth) are at, internal or card?

4. How do I move music from internal to card?

Thanks


Added on January 26, 2011, 2:02 amAlso, how to uninstall apps already on the phone (pre-installed)?

And, how to change the Android Market appearance? It was really nice at first (white screen with 3 tabs, apps, etc, and downloads) but not it's got this weird curved green thing at the top and side and no more tabs!

7. Alarm does not work with the phone switched off?

Any recommended games for me?

I'm getting bored of Angry Birds, don't know what to download for free, all are so lame "Lite" and "Free" and "Demo".

I have the stock system, not rooted.
