Yaa, nokia provide 360*640 with most if their phones and this resolution is very good as compared to 240*400. But unexpectedly images are quite clear on galaxy 3.

And the phone you are refering is LG OPTIMUS GT540. Yes it is released in india. But it has older version of android, small 3 inch resistive screen and very basic processor. LG OPTIMUS ONE is advancement of this phone in many respects like bigger 3.2 inch capacitive screen and android FROYO (i think this wud be the main selling point of this phone).
OPTIMUS ONE is yet to be released in india and is expected to be tagged with price around 13k.

@redlofredlof
This unresponsiveness of screen will get uglier and (more)uglier with lifespan of your phone.

My friend too bought LG COOKIE PEP(with resistive touch), it was fine till the first month and responded nicely to small taps on screen. But condition went bad and bad and at last, time arrived when the tapping on screen is replaced with (literally)PUNCHING on screen.

In Notification area(when u slide down from top of screen) Click Copy files...

I picked up this phone last week. Works fine except for One issue - I hve a prepaid card and the balance is slowly reducing without even making any calls or sending messages. I have yet to activate gprs. After some googling have deactivated background data use in the settings. Even then there is something happening in the background which is eating up the prepaid amount. I installed 3GWatchdog which is showing some data being transmitted received but unable to pin down which app is responsible.

If I subscribe to a data plan will this stop.
note : I am on reliance.


Please help.

Android phones constantly access the internet for their applications. As no app can be killed on android plateform, they continue to run in background. Increasing Data Usage and Decreasing Balance :-(

So having GPRS service enabled, this disease can be cured. If you dont have GPRS Pack all the time, just create a dummy APN and set it as default APN for you device. As dummy APN cannot access internet no balance will be reduced :):)

Use apn widget

just one touch turn on and off of data service(gprs)

use droid wall as firewall to block specific app from accessing the internet

As of now, there is no app to transfer apps to SDCard. Only FroYo update or a custom ROM/Mod can enable this functionality.

@arvindr1234

Are you asking how to increase the battery life? If you want 'Android' not to use max of your battery, then perhaps you can lower the screen brightness, minimize the number of running widgets, turn-off the vibration feedback and switch-off GPS, GPRS, WiFi, Bluetooth when not in use.
