      I have the default firmware the phone came with v10b. i am currently getting just above 2 days battery life. no bugs experienced so far since a month of ownership. all systems fine. Should I update to v10c ? I am currently experiencing no problems whatsoever except some minor problems like not being able to zoom while recording video.. Is this fixed in v10c? should I update? I have read some negative opinions about this matter in this site. So can anyone give me proper details?

            You can download yahoo mails by configuring the push email settings for the yahoo application. Then press the hard menu button->settings->accounts and sync. See if Auto-sync is checked. Tap on your Yahoo mail icon->press the hard menu button->More->Settings->Send & Receive->Set download frequency. On the Account Settings page you can also adjust Notification etc. But remember, the more you set the frequency of incoming mail "pushes", notifications, etc., the more battery power your phone will eat up.

              Hellboy, 19 Jan 2011 I hv 8GB memory card(class 4) and having unmounting pr... moreHi,
              The sd card recognition/unmounting problem is not a software or a hardware problem, it's really the sdcard.
              If it was software: it would probably be fixed with the update to 2.2.1 & it wouldn't be fixed with another sdcard.
              If it was hardware: it wouldn't be fixed with another sdcard nor 2.2.1 update.
              If it was the sdcard itself: it wouldn't be fixed with 2.2.1 and would be fixed with another sdcard. (this is what happens)
              Most people i guess are buying the class 4 sd cards whereas I have been told that our optimus one is compatible with class 10 sd cards. Even class 6 sd cards are running smoothly. So it's better to purchase a class 10 sd cards. I use an 8gb sandisk sd card and it runs flawlessly. For your info - The Speed Class Rating is the official unit of speed measurement for SD Cards. The Class number represents a multiple of 8 Mb/s (1 MB/s), and meets the least sustained write speeds for a card in a fragmented state.

                Anonymous, 19 Jan 2011hey guys.. why is it lagging sometimes? when i am playing a... moreHi,
                The speed with which an application runs depends on the RAM and the CPU power/processor speed. The memory card is required just to hold the application content, data and cache(if required). Some games like the 'angry birds' lag due to the fact that the physics of the game or graphics(such as 3d in other games) are only able to be rendered in high performance devices. But 'angry birds' lags only for the first time. Once you set the target/trajectory it doesn't lag the next time.
                Sometimes when even the you tube application lags, it's because of the mediaserver service which provides the video playback. When it starts lagging it's lagging in all apps with video.

                As far as taskillers are concerned i would like you to go through this article - http://lifehacker.com/5650894/...dnt-use-them

                In short, taskillers sometimes kill essential CPU cycles or android applications required by the system to work properly. You can do 2 things-go to settings->applications->manage applicatons->running->select the application which is running unnecessarily->force stop. This is the easiest method to prevent an app from using battery and CPU(and better than taskillers). You can also go to settings->about phone->battery use->select an app->force stop.
                Note: Rooting is not safe as it can 'brick' your phone.(No recovery,no reboot)

                    jasdeep, 19 Jan 2011what is the difference between divx and avi? Has anyone tr... moreDivx is a codec whereas avi is a container or "wrapper". So in short, a avi file may contain a divx.



                    Just downgraded from V10c to V10b.

                    New users may want to avoid updating to the new V10c.

                    Did not find a single apparent advantage with V10c (at least nothing apparent). On the other hand it made the phone slower which is sacrilegious! Updates should make devices faster if possible and not the other way around! Most other uses have reported sluggishness after upgrading. Rooting is also currently not possible with the new firmware.

                    Further, the new firmware has littered my SD card with heaps of apk files. Most likely this was done by the new LG Installer that gets installed. All the apks on the card were offered by the LG installer for installing, hence it is the prime suspect.

                    Can someone in the know tell me if its ok to delete these apk files now. Would there be other unneeded files associated with these?

                    Hand to re-download and re-install Swype each time as it seems to not funciton after a firmware upgrade or downgrade.

                    LG stop putting garbage on our phones and stop releasing buggy updates like this and wasting our time. I'm very annoyed with you. We can figure out what we need on the phone and really, really don't need your advice, Argggghhhh!

                                      play any song using the 'music' application->press the hard menu button on your phone->set as ringtone.
                                      Now open the 'messaging' app->press the hard menu button->settings->select ringtone. The song that you set as phone ringtone will be shown in the list.

                                      You can use the app 'ringdroid' for cutting and editing the mp3 songs and set them as ringtones using the above pocedure.

                                      For readymade ringtones, you can use the app 'zedge'.
