LG Optimus S / Optimus U / Optimus V

Has anyone been having problems with the new update? From apps disappearing to the touch screen not functioning, I'm currently tired of the optimus I once loved. I've had it o and seems like it should be kver a year now and have had no mentionable issues until just recently. The screen double taps, making typing, browsing, game play, and even dialing frustrating and sometimes nearly impossible. Dropped calls, lost messages, failed notifications.....I almost can't deal with it anymore. It looks nice and SEEMS like it should be great, but so does an apple until you find the hole the worm crawled thru and munched on the core. I've contacted sprint and emailed LG but nothing has come of it so far. I love this phone and am more than happy to keep...

how do you tether with the optimus v???

I'm on the Optimus V. Does anyone else encounter issues with organizing playlists? Songs don't move to the right spots and my playlists get messed up.

Is there a different music app that handles playlists correctly?

anyone know if the android 2.3 update will be available for the LG Optimus S for sprint? Or am I S.O.L.? Thanks!

BEJVM670 belongs to Optimus V only. Correct me if I am wrong, but Sprint base network is PCS only (850 available via roaming partners) so Optimus V is a single band phone.

Agree?

this phone has more than 140 mb internal memory, my phone with all my apps has over 300 mb left. I bet its closer to 400 mb.

I picked up the optimus s yesterday and I kept getting the network error as well when trying to enable hotspot. Come to find out all you need to do is download a wifi tether widget to turn it on and then it will activate it. The widget I downloaded is called share switcher. Sprint will not charge $30 for the mobile hotspot since that only applies to 4G phones.... awsome phone!

Take care

Ever since I downloaded the next update from Sprint I keep getting a "unknown error-18" when I try to download apps. Any ideas what this might be going on and what I need to do to fix it? 😕

Is there a little cover or flap for the charger? Kind of an operculum, so some wear and tear doesn't happen? I'm not sure what to call it.

I've had issues with chargers before and a little thing covering it has helped in the past.

I've been wanting to purchase an Optimus V through Virgin Mobile, obviously, however I'm wondering about the keyboard.

I've heard its rather hard to text because the screen is particularly small. Is it really? And does it have the ability to be rotated and the keyboard rotates to a wider keyboard?

I'm a heavy texter and don't want to get this phone if it becomes a hassle.

is there a way to set up the phone so all my apps are saved only to my sd card and not the phone memory

When is gingerbread coming out for the optimus s? and will it help with the random reboots.. also too with the memory card issues all i did to fix it was format it and it was fine after

Does anyone know of a way to put predictive text on the phone?

Bought two of these phones and both are having SD card issues. Exchanged one of the two and it does the same thing.

All 3 say "preparing SD card" several times a day (at least). I tried a 2gb sandisk sd card instead of the samsung 2gb card that comes with it - same thing. Apps installed to the sd card disappear from the apps menu then mysteriously reappear. Also shortcuts on the main screen change to a default icon then may change back when they feel like it.

Also getting spontaneous reboots - not sure if this is related to the sd card issue.

Will likely return these before the 30 day period is over. ☹️

this thing is fast, and i dont have 4g here so i didnt want to purchase an evo (outright because of my RAE plan) so i purchased this outright for $300.

question about the hotspot

does anyone know how many devices this supports? 5?

Its gonna be called the Optimus U for US Cellular!!!

This phone is not available as of today from Sprint nor do they know when it will be.

Sprint is STILL showing us that they are failing on customer service and info about launch dates.

Even there sales people have no idea about the phone or when it will be release.

Very sad and I thought they had things changed for the better.
