Peak Oil is real!
This new phone is not good enough. Same screen size, same resolution, same camera...
Optimus One became VFM because of great XDA support... which this phone would lack...

1. wifi-n = not dat needed (many hotspot etc.. still support b/g)
2. bluetooth = happy with 2.1 (no one pay for a new ph. just hav bt v3.0)
3. 800 mhz = overclocking is there (cm7 can hav upto 1+ oc)
4 gingerbread 2.3.3 = miks cm7 is based on 2.3.4 and gingerlol 1.5 is on 2.3.3 (other 2.3.3 custom roms r there)
the point is, after seeing the specs, not happy with 'net.
1. same cam mp with no flash again
2. same vga quality vid rec. @ 24 fps
3. no front facing camera for vid. chat
4. 150mb internal (O1 has 170mb iirc)
5. no divx support
6. no amoled screen or gorilla glass
this is DEFINITELY NOT an upgrade to O1. lg in lost in time-space, making new phs. way older than its current release.
dnt knw the price. should be sold under 8k. otherwise flop. one will go for samsung ace.

price it at 12k or less else most will go for Wildfire S.
& seriously, if this is a refresh of O1 at least pack gorilla glass & a front facing cam. also more ppls will look for camera with flash than BT 3.0

i got a reply from lg abt if rooting our ph. will void da warranty in india..
"Dear xxxxxxx, Rooting LG Optimus One does not void warranty. But unauthorized OS update will void warranty. There were some unforeseen delays in the upgrade of Optimus One Android 2.3. As per the latest communication received, the Optimus One Android 2.3 upgrade will be available by late August- early September 2011."
nw wat the hell "unauthorized OS update" means ?

Hi,
I read your opinions on LG O1 and recently bought O1 from Bangalore. Its OS Android version is 2.2.1. Firmware version is V10c-Dec-08-2010. Did I buy an old version? Are newer versions available? If it has an old firmware can I update it from LG Care or I myself can update? If so how? Please help. And the guy from the shop said that I can update to Gingerbread. Is it available now at Bangalore?

Try using titanium backup. It gives a lot of control with moving apps
BTW regarding the optimus Net I feel its a blessing in disguise for the O1 users. Even though its sad LG didnt upgrade the screen n chipset, it wud be good because the ON
will most probably be upgraded to ice-cream sandwich. Which means it can easily be ported to our O1, since the base h/w n chipset is the same Correct me if Im wrong Also this post will mark 50 pgs of O1 thread, remarkable!!
Keep it going guys

congrats. how much it cost you?
can't just say. need to look at the manufacturing date.
not like newer versions but new builds. made in 2010 or 2011.
you can do it yourself. but if you can let the LG peoples do it for you. or wait for a couple of weeks more. gingerbread update is already out & so when it is officially launched here, update it straight to gingerbread rather than Android 2.2.2

you are a genius
yes, Net most probably will get Ice Cream Sandwich update. this means stable rom for our mobile & sooner.

So many new phones coming out... Come December holiday season, the markets would be flooded with new and better models. People will move on and forget about Optimus One... like they have forgotten Galaxy3...
I bought my O1 in March... I expect to move on by next March into another sub-12k phone like everyone else...

The galaxy 3 didnt have much dev support to begin with. On xda most of the galaxy 3 devs are still struggling to get cm7 to it. The reason is that galaxy 3 didnt do as well as O1 worldwide. So most purchases were probably in India. Also O1 chipset ie msm7227 is a very common one used in many very popular phones (wildfire s,ace,dell xcd35 and now the Net). So the porting is probably much easier. Adreno,hvga res n mdpi device also makes a difference. Im hoping Net will prove to be botox for O1 and keep the devs interested with ice-cream sandwich rom.
Even I will change my phone next yr after getting placed Hoping for higher range model

yup. Galaxy 5 is enjoying CM7 stable roms ahead of G3s.
i'll stick to O1 for another year or two. get placed & O1 will be replaced by some future GS*.

Shifted to mik 6.5.5 with franco v18.1 BFS
My battery life wasnt upto the mark after restoring backup of void#forever. So thought Id try a new Rom.
Initially tried miks 6.6 with latest .38 kernel from franco. But the blackscreen bug was horrible.
My phone wouldnt wake from standby at all once I put display to sleep. I was worried because my screen was changed 2weeks ago and on xda ppl say that its not this bad. The screen shud come back on after touch. Not so for me, worried of any incompatibility that can be caused. Probably just being too paranoid ...but still
Anyway so went for stable 6.5.5
Hope new update comes soon.
