Game limitations? Unsupported apps? PLEASE! Since i've bought this phone i tried every game i thought was interesting and it never failed me(this little bastard runs dead space better than my friends sgs2-he cant see anything on the screen lol). Market says unsupported? F*ck that! Download from torrents. If it's mdpi 90% chance it will run. Ever since i've got this phone i've started browsing xda forums i was amazed by how much porting was done for this little guy. My only inconvenient? Axis inversion...lg f*ckers make your phones right! So quit whining! I will use this phone until it wears out, or use it as a second phone. Anyway ain't giving it up anytime soon.

Nuff' said!

Unfortunately this will be more common now that phones are evolving so fast

It's pretty much gotten to the point that there are phones released months apart from each other.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cupliz:
Every old devices will get same problem i think...

1,3 years ago when i bought this phone is mid end phone, now become low end phone but im still love my phone.

Some another old devices but still have good development is: htc hero, and htc wildfire. I dont know why developers never give up for thats devices... so i hope same here on O1..

The Android market share is a huge problem. Today you buy a supermegabrandnew phone and next month it's almost dead already. Take a look at Nexus One. For me it's still a very good phone but it's not supported anymore.

But the real problem is: people agree with this. More than one month ago I went on LG's wall on Facebook complaining about the lack of support with Optimus One. You know what happened? Users (not LG) came to me and said "what do you expect, LG is old, RAM is poor (wtf?), blablabla". They are right but we cannot accept this. The world nowadays is in crisis, we can't buy a new phone every 12 months :|

Of course I don't have money and I wouldn't buy a new phone anyway because prices are shameful. I remember the very first Samsung Galaxy i7500: costed €400 here and it's the worst Android I ever seen. Fortunately I paid €133, and it doesn't worth more. P500 still has what I need: GPS and maps, calls, Viber, social networks (FB, Twitter, G+), photos (Lightbox is good, I don't need Instagram and I'm sure the latter will be OK on our phones), Firefox will be ported on armv6 and so Temple Run, but to me games don't matter because I don't use to play a lot. Maybe Optimus One is dead but still usable.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neko95:
> if I had the money.. I will really buy new one with better specs.. or even top of the line smart phones out there.. BUT I just cant throw away my O1 just like that.. and no savings to buy new better one atm. But It's sad to see our phone being outdated.. but thats technology.. it moves really fast.. changes really quick.. I think i'll spend a year with my O1.. since development for it had never stop.. and there's always a way .. for a wheel :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
It is "Officially" outdated, but "unofficially"(open-source, thank Google) it is so still fkin' supported! Android 4.0.4!!! www.android.com/4.0.4

Oh I found a proof to you that Americans already moved on: Optimus V development!! It is an American phone;)

Well thats a tad insulting, I am 100% sure phones get stolen all over the world, in fact, I saw a clip of a guy stealing a phone from a woman on a train, in the UK.

So the P500 is underpowered, I knew this when i bought the phone at the price i paid for it. Yet its given me awesome mileage. If i want to play games, i do so on the pc, but as a day to day phone, in call sound quality is good, never drops a call, sms's come through on time, networking is perfect and the battery life is admirable. So new games wont perform so well, but apps work. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for.

Your post is the most logical in this thread.

Basically you wont expect a crappy ass car to race against a ferrari and you know that because you have more knowledge of the difference in those cars,

maybe you don't have enough knowledge of your phone to expect it to do impossible things.

Edit: the only thing that is relay missing in this phone for me is gorilla glass.

As for the fact that is outdated, it has more to do whit the way it looks, as most of the people in our countries only recognize an iPhone.

I've seen them on the subway admiring and owning iPhone clones whit such pride, bottom-line there are people that cherish functionality and others that mostly care about looks.

For me as is not a girl and is a phone i go for functionality first.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
You see something stolen in the UK once, happens to a few people, but in Romania most of the people had something stolen... and 99% of the americans and English are richer than ANY Romanian/African which is not a movie star or diva...

.........
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cornelha:
Dude, seriously, catch a wake up and fast. Wealth has absolutely nothing to do with theft whatsoever. The majority of theft happen as what is know white collar crime, RICH individuals who prey on the poor to get richer, or steal from their own employers etc. Now i dont know where you get your statistics from, but 99% is very wild figure, seeing both the USA and the UK have high unemployment rates.

As someone who contributes to development, I had some respect for you, your posts here however has made me doubt that. Just because one CAN code, doesnt mean one SHOULD discriminate against race/colour/creed/ethnicity, specially when you dont know what you are talking about. As a proud South African, I find this offensive. Now you can happily run to your Moderator friends and ask to have me banned/this post removed, doesn't change basic nettiquette, which is far from present in this forum.

Basic respect for others around you on these forums is not only a good idea, but the way to handle things. Next time bare that in mind when you discriminate against others like you did here.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Wait, south Africa is a very good country in Africa, sorry...

The problem with US and UK is that the help they get from the unemployee money are enough to keep them alive, while in Romania for example if you have enough money to stay alive you will get no money... people here destroy walls just so that they say they are poor...

And again, I am sorry about the offence, I really got off the topic, but some people really annoy me, and they are all based on the new ('70s) American principle:"you are not rich, we laugh at you"

Everywhere there are exceptions, hobos in US, rich people in my country (I personally live in the city with the highest salaries except Bucharest, because 20% of Romania's electricity is made here)

But when I went to Egypt (a "rich" country in Africa) a man actually sold 10 hats to me at 10€(the starting price was 50€) and except the people at the hotel, everyone looked so poor...(crap, drifting again)

-----OT end-----

Our phone became an awesome entry level android phone because of the talented developers supporting it. I've had this phone ever since it was released in my country and I have no regrets. It is a great phone for its price. But there will always be better phones. I bought a Droid Bionic for gaming and other things but I still use my Optimus One for text and call. CDMA is not supported in my country so I now have a gaming device and a real phone. The O1 has never let me down :cool:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rogervn:
Well, I'm from Brazil and here I think we also have a lot of reasons to buy entry phones like Optimus One. Optimus One costs about US$ 200 in any store while a Galaxy S2 costs about US$1000,00. Brazil probably has the highest import tax rates in the world, and companies like to get high profit here because there are so many social inequity that if they sell a car with 200% profit compared to another countries, including other south american ones, (and they actually do), there will always have some rich people that will buy it for status. It's not important to buy something good, it's important to buy something expensive, otherwise I wouldn't see so many people buying 1000 dolars Galaxy S2 while in USA they cost about 450.

The Optimus One is an entry level phone. Everyone should know that. It's not a lot cheaper because they feel like it. LG isn't the most reliable company to expect hardware and software support over time, the Optimus One itself must have at least 10 phones exatclty alike, so it makes it impossible to support them all. If you bought O1 to play games you are terribly wrong.

But for people like me who doesn't like to play games on the phone and is starting to use smartphones, it is a great device for a lower price. You can't expect it to perform the same as a phone that is 5 times more expensive.

I'm actually thinking of buying a Galaxy S2 because I really liked the Android platform and would like a bigger screen with smoother software (Facebook app is killing me in O1), but only if I can travel to the USA to buy it. For the ridiculous difference of price, If I buy 2 Galaxies there I pay my trip just by the price difference. And if I can't do that soon, no problem, the O1 can meet my everyday use just fine until I find an opportunity to get a better phone for a reasonable price.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RobyRc:
O1 didn't die!!

Applications works 98% and games 89% ..

I can play GTA 3 on my o1,yeah with little laggish but i can play!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] -DarkKnight-:
Well some people like me dont have the money to get a high end phone if I had to choose a phon e then it would be the sensation xe but I am poor and under 18 so I had to choose a cheap phone there were phones with 1ghz processors for the same price as the optimus t I was using but I chose this phone because of the size of this xda forum and the number(not quality) of rooms coming out each week

I am not stupid I could've bought the Samsung exhibit II but it didn't even have an xda forum so I chose this
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lilsammy11:
This, I love my O1 it was my first smart phone. but honestly if we all had the money no one would still be using this phone, instead we would all be using galaxy nexus's or other high end phones.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] akashgupta222:
It serves my purpose well, ie browsing, news reading, calling, texting, social networking, multitasking, some games to kill time, taking notes, navigation, mailing, listening to music and ocassionally taking some pictures.

And it will continue to do that untill it breaks down.

The xda community gave me ROMS and kernals to help me do these things better and get the best battery life.

On oxygen rom with franco.kernal the phone lasted for a week with a 15 min charge in the middle, with low usage.

I don't think any of the other androids can give me such a combination of battery an performance.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] creativegeek:
well it's depend on how you use your phone. For my daily need, optimus one is enough. Maybe all I need is fast and stable rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smallsmx3:
So I flashed a new baseband to my gnex. When i had my g2x i used an app called getril that allowed u to flash the appropriate ril w baseband. My gnex has the old ril and new baseband but its not in the getril database. Wondering what potential problems it may cause
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chadouming:
RIL are librairies included in rom. Just flash another rom and you will have you RIL back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smallsmx3:
I understand that.....but should the baseband have to match?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
Its my understanding that the radio is backwards compatible. I have left the 4.0.4 radio on and flashed multiple 4.0.3 roms without any issues, so you should be fine. Farther back that .3 i'm not sure about as i haven't tried that.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nitephlight:
from what i understand, there isn't much of an official Synergy app for android (talking about the cross-platform input sharing software).. there's an alpha or beta development of it at sourceforge but it doesn't seem to be updated very often.

IMO this is (or will soon become) a no brainier, but i've been looking into temporary solutions to host and share keyboard/mouse from a Windows server to my bionic and webtop. a lot of people claim success with multi-app rigs like VNC server + remote web desktop, tightvnc etc. i've had some success with it, but it's not what i was hoping for.

im fairly certain bluetooth devices can be shared, input devices as well? is there something needed to access this functionality? :confused: any input would be greatly appreciated!

Ran into some hard times, and I need to sell my TFP :(

Bought it from GameStop and they don't return cash. The dock and tablet

are in great condition. Here's the eBay link. No lightbleed, wifi works great, bluetooth is fine also, and is on Android ICS 4.0. Like I said, having a baby so need the money lol.,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/130672580434?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TremF:
Android 3.2 Honeycomb? Have you not updated it to 4.0.3 ICS?

I'd change your posting to include ICS - may be a little more tempting to those not fully aware of the TFP...

Also mention the keyboard dock extends the battery life by upto 4hrs and can be used to read SD cards and USB memory sticks and HDD's etc

Good luck with the sale and your new baby :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
$675 why so high?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jonphinguyen7:
What would you recommend?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
Dont really have a recommendation. Just wondering if you had some extras that would allow you to charge $25 over new retail.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayvus:
A price I would recommend? Lets look at some facts that you may or may not find relevant.

When a car is driven off the lot, you can't sell it for the $60,000 you bought it for. At most you could get for it by selling it is $48,000 to $54,000.

You've 'driven' your 'car' off the lot when you removed the vacuum wrap seal on both boxes. The most I would spend on the tablet is about $425-$450 and $90-$100 for the dock. So the total price I would pay would be $515 to $550.

There still might not be a lot of stock available, but it is definitely improving fast. If they hadn't of ramped up production I would have said you might have gotten your $650 you paid for back out of it, but not now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jonphinguyen7:
Thanks, changed listing price to $600
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
Thats a good price. Hope you get a quick sale.:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
You're in the Houston area?

Craigslist dude.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jonphinguyen7:
Lol thanks for the advice. Currently have a Craigslist post up and running as well. Seeing which wil get a bite first. Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Cool. I often find that people in highly populated cities take Craigslist for granted. Tax evasion is the best evasion.

BTW I would highly advise you highlight the savings. Something like "$700 value for brand new high-end device!"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tuna-83:
I wouldn't exactly call that a fact... I sell cars and while what you said in theory makes sense. It isn't entirely true..

None the less, an item is worth what someone will buy it for. Look at finished listings on Ebay and aim for the highest one. The Prime with dock shouldn't be hard to find in most areas but I had to search a little to find mine. Ebay touches everyone... Someone will spend the money. Worst case scenario you can always meet in the middle but you always, always start high, pending your motivation to sell anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
I wouldn't lower the price unless you need the money fast. People are stupid, I've sold many things on Craigslist above retail price. They think they are getting a deal on CL.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] babymatteo:
And people who sell stuff on CL above retail are dbs...sorry. Concept of depreciation, economics 101. I wouldn't want to try rip anyone off...cause stuff like that come bite you back in the ass, hard lol.

Unfortunately, once an item is used...you can't expect to get back what you paid. Just my .02

To the OP, i actually got my TFP off craigslist for $500 with the dock. Everything in boxes and with complete receipts and warranty info too. And $500 for used items is a fair price. Taking your selling your Tablet for $425 and the dock for $75.

But glws nonetheless...sucks when you have to sell their own stuff just to make it by. Damn you ECONOMY!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jblah:
houses typically go up in price :) but ya you are right. i saw a tfp 32gb + dock + case for $550 on craigslist here in DC.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chivas228:
I'm in Houston (Sugar Land) and I think I've seen your ad.

here's my take on the price.

1: it's a tablet and 85% of people out there wouldn't think of our tablet as "the tablet" to get especially the iPad3 just came out. everyone will be looking for an iPad so if I were you on CL, add some meta words to it to get people's attention.

2: because we don't own a pedestrian tablet, most people wouldn't plunk all that cash for something they don't know. Doing a search for our tablet doesn't come back too favorably either; not that it's a bad tablet but with the issues that the tablet has, even my parents knows about it and they're super AARP members. I wouldn't put "Firm" in your CL ad. As an active CL user (both back in NYC and now Houston), anytime anyone put in the word "FIRM", I click the back button. The whole "charm" with CL is the ability to, for a lack of a better word: haggle.

3: If you think cars depreciate fast, have you looked at technology? Yeah, the price fluctuates up and down (like a Prius when it first came out) but overall, they only head in one direction once leaving store shelves: down. To exasperate the bad situation are the "next model" people. These are the "next model" waiters and will look at the $600 now and get X or $600 next month and get Y which is greater than X. Speaking from experience, I waited almost 6 months for the Prime. I was going to pull the trigger and get a TF101 and REALLY needed something since my laptop screen died (thank god for the stupid $120 extended warranty from Dell) but I still waited after hearing about the Prime coming out Q3/Q4 of 2011.

Basic marketing P's:

People

Price

Promotion

Placement

People: you're selling an item that majority of people know nothing about. Not like Verizon or AT&T Wireless are pushing it like the Galaxy Tab. Your audience is limited.

Price: well, $600 is big coin for economic times like this for most people. Not suggesting you give it away but do set a price that people can't say no to or add OBO to get more bites; I don't know how much interest has been stirred on your CL listing so I can't say if your price is good but for me, it's on the high side.

Promotion: well, you got it on ebay and CL and now here but the price you're selling it at doesn't help the promotion.

Placement: You're in Sugar Land? I'm in Sugar Land as well and it's not a bad place to sell high end electronics but you have to take in consideration the people who are well off in Sugar Land are also educated or are willing to educate themselves on items they are buying.

Good luck on the sale and as someone once said: I'd rather be lucky than good.
