netcrack, 14 Jan 2011Go to contacts, then press menu button, you will get option... morethank´s for the reply, but I don´t have speed dial option in there.When I press ´´more´´ in the contacts menu, I just get two things, ´´Import/Export´´ and ´´My Profile´´. I have updated already to 2.2.1 and ended with software version v10-n. My phone is carrier suplied in Portugal (from Vodafone), and another thing I hated with the software update, is that the language in the phone changed to brazilian portuguese (it´s almost the same, but not quite equal...). How can I downgrade the software (if it´s even possible)? Thanks a lot to all...

ajay, 14 Jan 2011i am ajay from punjab. i baught this phone 2 weeks ago from... moreI agree about the new firware (2.2.1). It does seem to have made my phone slower. I'd like to downgrade too. Whats wrong with LG??
Can't agree on some of the other points though -
Battery : it cannot be considered to be good. Of course if you use it like a v basic dumb phone with everything off, it may last as long as you have mentioned. I need at least EDGE to be on most of the time. But then why buy this phone? Buy a 1k phone instead. However, this issue is of course not limited only with O1. Other Android phone battery life are known to be same or worse. People looking for decent battery life will be disappointed with these phones.
Touch : it is a tad on the lower side for a capacitive screen. I'd say its something between a capacitive and resistive screen. Not a deal breaker though.
Sound : on (loud)speakers it is NOT good, esp. when volume is on higher side. Same when using speaker phone when on a call... voice starts "breaking". Have others observed this too, or is it just me??
Camera : camera is NOT great. Its just ok. Samsung G3 cam is better. Just compare pics before commenting. Cams on some other Samsung models (same/similar spec, price) are even better. So if cam quality is the most important thing, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
So lets not get carried away. Overall, the O1 really does not excel at anything in particular. But yes, at the given price and after considering competing phones, it can of course be said to be a good buy and offers a lot, overall.

i am ajay from punjab. i baught this phone 2 weeks ago from local store (i watched it in ebay in 11.5k but i preffered local store).
BATTERY:
3 Days on normal use (dimmed light, wifi off, gprs off). 10-12 hours talktime.
SPEED:
Since it is fw 2.2, its blazingly fast. I tried updated to 2.2.1 but its slow so i downgraded.
GPU:
Its 3d is also very good. you can play all available 3d games in good fps like raging thunder, rickless racing, wave blazer, speedex 3d, burning tyres, gogorescue. I had all installed right now.
TOUCH:
Marvless Touch senstivity. Miles Better than Spica and near Iphone. But bad while on charger/Datacable, but no problem.
SOUND:
Good Sound Quality, Best Call Quality, Loud Volume (volume comes form the single speaker).
RECEPTION:
Best reception in weeker areas. Better Than Iphone.
KEYS:
Power, volume keys are metallic (very good design and usabilty) and other ones are solid and usefull.
Comes a screen protector pre installed.
cam quality very good.back is very good and with rubber finish.
OVERALL ITS A 18K DEVICE WORTH 12K. Damn Good. Buy with confidance.

Wi-fi settings: Go to settings->wireless & networks->check the Wi-Fi option,then goto Wi-Fi settings. The available wi-fi networks will be displayed there. Select the network you want to connect to. Make sure that the 'wi-fi' and 'network notification' box are always checked so that you will immediately be made aware of any available wi-fi network in the notification bar. The notification bar also has a wi-fi toggle button which is the first button from left.
GPRS settings:settings->wireless & networks->mobile networks->check the 'data enabled' box->access point names->select the gprs network (for example mobile office in airtel. Make sure that gprs settings are active on your phone. Confirm this from the service provider)Gprs toggle button is the 4th from left in the notification bar.
Note:If you are connected to a wi-fi network and accidently switch on the gprs(data enable),wi-fi will be preferred.Check the gprs or data enable mode only when you cannot connect to a wi-fi network(i.e. it is locked or out of coverage area)

I bought this phone yesterday and I love the actual phone itself and all that however yesterday I could also access the internet and there was a G sign at the top. Now when I try to connect I cannot, I can only connect through Wifi. When I check my network settings it can only connect to GSM or WCDMA what are these? In my old phone to connect to internet it went through gprs/edge. So whats wrong I'm really frustrated and considering to return it back.
