The LG Optimus One Thread

[guru_urug]

Software issues? You can do it at home. What is the problem?

Anyway When I went they didnt even bother to see if my phone was rooted. Maybe because the issue wasnt s/w related. And Im not really sure about LG India's policy on rooting of O1, LG Italy made a statement saying that warranty would not be void. Explain your problem.

Also when You are install rom manager and click on install recovery, while its flashing dont let your screen go to sleep.

Okay thanks SAM....trying!!!

welcome. do reply about the backup after reinstalling the rom.

What a day!

Went to the LG service center today to get the screen cleaned The service desk was helpful and the staff seemed polite. No complaints there. But the technicians room adjoining the help desk was open and I could see the interiors. No dustfree room, but seemed clean enough. I was a little skeptical. There was a considerable rush at the center.

Anyway I submitted my phone, no need to fill any forms...the lady at the desk inserted my details on the PC and I had to only sign. She told me I would get my phone within an hour, and asked if I wanted a temporary handset. I took it Some LG handset with cam,mp3,fm,etc. Good quality for a temporary piece.

I left the centre and roamed around, had lunch and came back in 40 min. I went back and the technician had just started with my phone. I could see him opening the phone. He put a protective sticker on the bottom of the screen so that the problem wouldnt re-occur and that guy came to show me the screen.
I immediately noticed a crack on my screen!!! That SOB cracked my O1!!! I lost my cool and pointed it out to him. He realised his mistake immediately. Must have cracked it while opening the screen panel. He apologised and said he'd replace the screen.
So I got a new touchscreen panel and new front panel cover too FOR FREE!!! HAHA I checked their receipt, on which I had to sign. The touchscreen was for Rs.765 and the front panel was Rs.150 So basically I got Rs.915 worth of new parts for free! And the screen feels more responsive now. Or maybe its just placebo

Now Im in process of rooting and flashing my backup again

Flashing backup was such a breeze! Done in 20 mins! Run z4root,install rom manager, install cwm, copy backup to sd, restore!! voila! Back to previous state. Show me an iphone that does that

this is sheer luck.

new screen + protector + dust problem fixed for free. great.

How much would they charge to address software issues??
(I guess I'm not on warranty)

why? to fix your stuck O1? first download some other country's v10a/b/c/d/e update & try with kdz. if nothing works, then take it to LG & tell them your mobile has stopped working suddenly after a restart. or after an update. i am sure they'll only flash some v10c/e update of indian version instead of trying anything else.

And also, once they've found out I rooted it, will it void the warranty forever??

to check that they'll have to make your mobile right through AndroidSDK = wasting hours of time typing this & that command. you expect the service center ppls to do all these? instead they'll most likely flash v10e & say "bye bye RizEon".

shake + flash. once flashing starts it shouldn't crash.

and btw...one option is launch update on the main screen..and a start upgrade in the window after clicking read info...both different?? ive been doing the main window one...the second one gives some msg to install b2c client...

i am using the first option. select kdz & launch the update. and i guess others too are doing the same.

if there is no dust problem, LG mayn't take your mobile for fixing this problem. so better wait. maybe dust problem is fixed for real.

I am using stock ROM in my O1. please sudggest me a really decent CUSTOM ROM n if possible, step by step procedure to upgrade it.
Also, i came to know that the gallery n media problems in my phone,
1)When i open stock music player, no files are listed there though i have several mp3's on SD card.
2)When i open video player, it shows "no video". I have several videos in bluetooth folder.
3)When i open gallery, it shows " There are no items in your collection".
4) Im using poweramp full version. It didnt detect music files automatically, the files got listed only when i specified the path folder manually. Also, when i click on "library" in poweramp, no files are shown in any of the category (All songs, Albums, Artists, Genres).
are actually a bug in froyo 2.2.2. So, help me out with that also.

then why you want to take mobile to service center? better wait for a month. if dust doesn't appear means dust problem is sorted out after 2010 batch.

1. no. doesn't slows down.
2. don't know anything like that. never heard.

I am using stock ROM in my O1. please sudggest me a really decent CUSTOM ROM n if possible, step by step procedure to upgrade it.

CM7 6.5.5 by Mike. this is the one suggested by most & is stable as well as full of useful features.

 

[dreatica]

@dreatica...no.. the fastboot screen comes up...
i was just asking if that might work...emergency mode on fone+emergency diag on KDZ...(it crashes when i click read phone info)


i ended up in fastboot after trying a NANDROID backup with ROM manager (thats y i did reboot to recovery...cuz i wanted to do Nandroidbackup)

so you are in a fastboot, or emergency screen right ? check your dm.

hey, anyone plz suggest me good cover/case for my lgO1. one i choose to buy is amzer sillicon jelly type cover from ebay. has any idea abt it ?

do i also need to address my dust issue with my lgO1 ?? my ph. is under warranty .....

don't buy from ebay, buy from amzer.co.in or fommy.co.in. it will cost less and yes go for the silicon jelly type cover. it fits perfectly.

Edited :

If you guys are not aware, Gingerbread LOL 1.5 version is out, remember LOL froyo rom ?

Its exactly same in setup, and my neocore score is 47-51fps with great battery. I am glad I moved to new baseband, and opted for official GB. Little compromise with performance as compared to CM7 but no bugs at all with great battery life.

 

[RizEon]

@dreatica... fastboot mode starts on power on...
emergency mode comes up by the vol up+return+power combo...
it seems like the problem is with the updater as it has given same file exxtract error with 3 different kdz files... most of the links i m finding to download another copy of the KDZ end up with error... can sum1 plz give me a link to a healthy copy (wich is already tried n working fine)

Yeah it can be recovered. You got the corrupted recovery and thats why your phone is stuck in fastboot mode, check your dm so that we can discuss it through chat.

Hello ,
I have installed CM7 on my LG O1 and also have flashed the phone with darktremors apps2sd script . Everything works fine except for the fact that my phone dosen't ring nor vibrate when I recieve calls or text messages

What do you guys think is causing the problem ? Is it a ROM bug ? or is it being caused by darktremors script ?

I have re-installed the mod and have tried re-installing the script too , Still the problem continues ..

And when I go to sound settings to select the phone ringtone, I dont get the preview of the ringtone that I am going to select !!!

I have been using CM7 since v6.3... Never faced any problems. Currently on 6.5.5

See if the problem continues if you don't install App2SD script.

Did you clear all the old data before flashing CM7? If now, I recommend, boot to custom recovery, and wipe everything... Data factory reset, Cache, Dalvik Cache, Ext partition... everything...

Reboot and install Volume Control from the market. -- *market.android.com/details?id=com.revsodev.volumecontrol

See if it solves your problem...

Cheers!
