Hello all, I bought this phone for 12000 in delhi after going through many opinions and reviews about all the android fones in this price range. I knew optimus 1 is gud but the LG brand name was worrying me. I must say its a great fone..
*touch is awsome.
*supports live wall papers
*resolution is clear
* video and camera well above average but not superb
*music quality cool.
* as far as battery is concerned turn off the GPS and GPRS when not required and use them only when surfing net and applications. with normal talk time,the cell gives a back up 1 day. I feel battery could have been better.

            Friends if any of you facing a problem of short
            or less memory ie the internal memory then do
            this
            Settings > apps > manage applications > now
            press the menu button and select sort by size
            After this select any application and select clear
            cache
            You can also select clear data , by doing this the
            application will be there in your phone and after you select that application it will
            work from the begining. . . nothing to worry at
            all . . . . . . I had just 45 mb free memory but after
            doing so I now have 90 mb free space . . . . .
            Applications like browser ie the default android browser takes a lot of necessary space and
            becomes a space hog . . . . . so by this method can
            be useful at times . . .

                Hi Neo.,

                ROOTING Optimus

                S Neo, i have used z4root.apk
                followed the same procedure which has posted on XDA Developers forum to do the rooting...

                Works great... whn the applications asks for temporary or permanent root v hav to choose Permanent, only then v will b able to Un-root.

                Re-root or Un-root is available whn v open the z4root app...

                and also Super User Icon s placed under the Main applications where as z4root is placed under the Downloads category...

                    Murthy, 04 Jan 2011Hi Neo., I have rooted my P500, how to tether the cloc... moreHi Murthy and other users
                    ROOTING Optimus

                    Murthy:have u used z4root to do rooting
                    did u open root app and see the following
                    Re-root or Un-root
                    Only then devie is rooted
                    ,
                    Confirm on it


                    ALL ARE DONE ON SELF INTEREST AND RISK,CAN EVEN BRICK YOU PHONE;;;;;;;;CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!
                    Process on ROOTING
                    1)There are 2 ways ,Manually add and modify files in Root directory and easy method of pre APPS
                    Let us follow APPS version as its more easier,remember its just ROOTING and its not flashing custom ROM,thats diffrent


                    1)Download z4root.1.3.0.apk ,google on net and you will get it
                    2)If downloaded on PC ,move it to SD card else from phone fine
                    3)Install the app
                    4)The phone will install and reboot(approx 40 sec!!!)
                    Dont panic
                    5)Once done open teh APP again and it should have options
                    Re-Root or Un root
                    that hopefull shows its a done !!!!!!!

                    Now u can access root to full fledge and modify whatever you want

                    One such is Setting CPU Speed:
                    Process:
                    Download SetCPU from market its 1.99 $
                    install and open the app
                    there will be Higher and lower frequency limitsand temp control functions,set to what you want
                    CAUTION!!!!!!
                    remember do not over exceed freq more as it will heat up CPU and phone

                    and always Upper limit> lower limit

                    Neo
