do u guys face any prob with gps. its taking too much time to lock. dnt knw why...
when ever i try to move a system apps to sd card it says "it cannt be moved as its a system using apps' ..something like dat...

1. don't know how to fix problems related to script but internal memory is different from ext partition. thats why they are not shown combined i guess.

thx for the quick reply. wat apps2sd u use. does ur apps auto moved to sd card after installation ?? do u move all system apps (like gmaps etc..) to sd card..??

same. it takes more than 30sec & half the time it misses displaying some msg. but once it gets locked, it is really really accurate (outdoor).

when ever i try to move a system apps to sd card it says "it cannt be moved as its a system using apps' ..something like dat...

yes. system apps can't be moved

thx for the quick reply. wat apps2sd u use. does ur apps auto moved to sd card after installation ?? do u move all system apps (like gmaps etc..) to sd card..??

i don't use any script. i manually move it from the app list clicking on move to sd card.

mine is set as "automatic" in the app installation location so a few apps move but most i have to do it manually.

as i am using Andy's gingerbread, it doesn't comes with a lot of apps preinstalled. but other than launcher & weather widget, everything is saved in sd card. no gmail app for me.

Will O1 support 8GB class 4 sd card? I read some unmounting/restarting issues online? is there any fix for it? Pl advice.

 

[coderunknown]

AFAIK, the old firmware (Android 2.2) had this problem. this has been fixed in Android 2.2.1 or 2.2.2

Some questions on Lg p500:

1. Does it have a physical d-pad navigation key? From the images, it looks like it has one but not sure. Would like to have this option apart from the touch screen.

2. How is the app support? I will be installing lots of apps from the market and others. Is that possible without rooting? No games.

3. Will it support a 2yr old sandisk 2GB SD card I have? Not sure about the class.

Thanks

doesn't have. i don't think many non-QWERTY android comes with D-pad. if you are concerned about missing D-pad for navigation, the android system with the default 4 key is enough for it. but one will feel the need for it while gaming.

2. How is the app support? I will be installing lots of apps from the market and others. Is that possible without rooting? No games.

all apps are supported that i tried. maybe some (paid) apps that have higher system requirements won't be supported.

3. Will it support a 2yr old sandisk 2GB SD card I have? Not sure about the class.

it should. but it already comes with a 2Gb card.

I'm so used to the d-pad ....
How do people game without it, anyway?

Good. I understand the lack of power to run CPU intensive apps.

it should. but it already comes with a 2Gb card.

Ok, thanks.

One last question: Since it sounds like you own this phone, will you recommend this to someone? Does the dust problem really exist? If yes, the phone might need periodic cleaning. How often does dust get under the glass?

I've found this phone at Letsbuy at Rs 8.4K (after applying coupon). Actually I'm willing to throw in another ~Rs 2K, but can't seem to find a better phone. Weird.

same. it takes more than 30sec & half the time it misses displaying some msg. but once it gets locked, it is really really accurate (outdoor).

its actually not getting locked. i tried to keep it for abt 15-10min, bt no locking has take affect. i tried to test with GPS Test. strangely no result from this app too. no a single digit moves. i really nw very frustrated for this gps thing as i do use it often. bt with the stock 2.2 rom it was working. dnt knw if its a rom issue or the gps chip has somehw broken in my ph......

any clue guys ????

another prob is dat with da fm app. its nt working properly. and let me add only 5 stations.. why is dat ?? in 2.2.1 i can add as many as 30+ stations..

Yeah.

Does the dust problem really exist?

For me, Yes

If yes, the phone might need periodic cleaning. How often does dust get under the glass?

Take the phone to Customer Care and they will cure it somehow.

I'm so used to the d-pad ....

i know. my last mobile was a touchscreen + D-Pad. but now without D-pad, most games can't be played well. specially racing gaming that needs the mobile to be tilted to make the car move left right. but other games are controlled by tapping the screen. easy to play.

Good. I understand the lack of power to run CPU intensive apps.

other than some HD games & angry birds all games run fine even if you do multitasking.

under 10k & if Android is a must, definitely. you may read my review: LG Optimus One

yes dust problem was there but new models doesn't have it. so just avoid old stock.

doesn't need periodic cleaning. just take it to service center & they'll fix it permanently.

next best mobile is Galaxy Ace & Wildfire S if you find it under 12-12.5k.

test with some other rom. most likely problem is with the the rom not the chip.

Thank you... waited a long time for a new CM7 update...

finally an update. thanks for the info but i am waiting for Andy's next rom.

Today, my phone got stuck in "headset" mode without me using a headset. It just wouldn't come out of it no matter what I did... Restarts... wipe cache... pull battery... insert and remove headphones... nothing worked...

I thought this is a hardware problem and I am screwed. Might have to go back to stock LG ROM to get warranty...

But it sorted out automatically in a hour...

I guess its a bad idea to keep the phone around water (was listening to a podcast in the toilet)... Some droplet of water might have entered into the headphone jack... Once the water dried, the phone was back again...

Updated to Mik's 6.5.6 OS... it was laggy until I repatched Franco's kernel 18.1+ZRAM... Now everything is cool...

 

[guru_urug]

Hey guys...was a lil busy few days. Now Im back

Im still on mik cm7 6.6 with franco .35 kernel(July 25 update)
The blackscreen is very rare with screen anim off. And the performance and battery are superb for me. I left for college today(8am) with 39% battery....was still around 15-20%(3.45pm) when I returned home. 3-4 voice calls and a number of sms(in lectures) plus a little light games for 15 mins in the bus. Overall its impressive. Obviously I kept data services/wifi off and brightness was 100% outdoors/40%indoors and freq was 600/320(smoothass).

@gmg9
for gps try using gpsstatus from market. Make sure u clear and update gps cache from the app menu.
*market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&feature=search_result

To check apps2sd and monitor storage use a2sdgui.

Is it just me or is SE xperia mini pro an excellent pricing by Sony?
I mean it got all the bells and whistles. Screen is smaller I agree but the h/w keyboard means more room on the screen without fingers. Also the procy+gpu combo is unrivalled at this pricepoint. Also the minipro comes with front cam too. Cud this be the next bestbuy @15k and it will get lesser. Kudos to sony for competitive pricing at launch. Pleasant surprise

 

[coderunknown]

yes xperia mini pro is really priced well for the hardware. finally a 15k droid with a usable keyboard.

 

[chandrudme]

Its black.... Yes white is 1K higher... I Got the device today... Just xploring it.. Its cool!!
i will be disturbing you for sometime until i get knowledge in android Pl excuse..
