Has anyone tried using the Sony Liveview with the LG Optimus One P500? i'm thinking of getting one since i read alot of the liveview's problems has been fixed with either the liveview manager or rooting. Also, its the cheapest one on the market (compared to liveview 2, i'm watch). Although i have not read anyone using the liveview with P500. Anyone have any insight? Thanks!
Wondering the same thing, most of the time i miss calls and sms cause i'm listening to music on my ipod and my p500 is on the pocket/bag/etc. This would be kind of saver to me.
Just wondering what are the difference between the liveview 1 and 2.
From what i know so far...
the new live view is called the "smart watch," it costs 149 USD, has 4 icons on each screen, only one physical button and lasts up to 4 days. I suggest checking google. it hasnt been launched yet.
Cool, kinda expensive though. The first version for me is enough.

WTF is Liveview? LOL... I went to the Sony store the other day because I have a gift card and can't find anything to buy... I gotta say Sony makes some of the most useless [email protected] in the electronics industry, how are they still in business?
A "Dash" priced at $250 ... which literally sits on the night stand and accesses facebook, twitter, and is an alarm clock. Why would someone buy this when they can buy an entire netbook for $200 ?!?! For the Sony name?
I'm assuming Liveview must be equally worthless given the stagnant nature of this thread?
Amazon reviews are mostly positive. Wast thinking about getting one myself.

looks like an awesome product
$82 seems reasonable for the functions that it has
Apparently Sony is making a newer slimmer version so I am waiting for that, hopefully it isn't plagued by bugs like the first one is

Hello. I won an LG Optimus 7 in a contest. It has mango preinstalled. I was wondering if it is worth upgrading from optimus 7 to Lumia 800? I know this question has been asked before, but most have compared the Lumia to Focus, and not Optimus 7.
From what I saw, the display(blacks) of Optimus 7 is very disappointing, as is the camera(low light). I havent installed any apps, as I wanted the device to be fresh, in case I am selling it.
The price of Lumia 800 is almost the double of what Optimus 7 costs. Is it a worthy replacement? Please help.

Are you joking?!?! I got the LG Optimus 7 and love it, and the light at the back is too bright, absolutely not low...
I'm also think of buying that one maybe later because it's nokia, and has great built in apps, but still theres nothing wrong with the Optimus 7 with even an app for jailbreaking within 5 mins.
You maybe should sell this one, use your old phone and wait a while til the price gets lower on the Lumia.
I would wait till next year to see what Nokia WP7 phone will be announced at MWC. Should be something much better. Than sell LG O7 and buy new Nokia if it is worth it... Thats what I'm planning to do with my LG.

Oh, I think you misunderstood me. I meant that the blacks in the display glow a lot. And the camera has poor performance under low light. But I must admit, the build quality is excellent.

True, but the wait would be too long. Phones will be announced in Feb, and might be available in May-June? However, there's no doubt that they would be better(Nokia 900?) The other problem is that the sale value of O7 will fall down drastically, even though I might have used it just for a couple of months.
Note: Another thing about Lumia that attracts me is that they say they will release 750 apps specific to the Indian market and exclusive to Nokia. They have employed 1000 developers to do it!!
is your Optimus 7 ringtone volume loud enough?
I found Lumia 800 is a bit soft in ringtone volume

The speaker volume of Optimus 7 is a bit low. However, it is not an issue for me as the phone is in vibrate mode most of the times.
I have decided to keep my Optimus 7 and not sell it. Maybe it just needs a bit of love . I can do with an LCD screen. I will upgrade when they will release devices with Apollo.
Have fun with it!
And if you want to jailbreak it, then it will like take 1-5 mins with some simple steps , and then if you reset the phone it will be re-unjailbreaken.
HTC hub xap is a recommendation after jailbreak, with cool weather displaying and animations

Is there any danger of bricking the phone? You mean i will have to repeat the procedure each time I reset the phone if I have to install more xaps?
HTC hub would be superb. by jailbreak, do you mean the recent ChevronWP unlock? Sorry, I am being such a noob.
Edit: Could you please send me the link containing unlock instructions? Thanks.
Edit2: Successfully unlocked the device. It is so easy on Optimus 7. And hey, HTC Hub looks awesome. Thanks. Time for some homebrew apps now
Good evening,
So after having had a dumbphone for quite some time, it's showing the end of it's life. (I'm currently using a Samsung C3050 if you're interested.) I'm wanting to make the big jump to a smartphone, but I'm not yet that consent with choosing one. I do not know all the down and upsides to everything.
And neither do I have a lot of money, being a student and all. So far I managed to pick out some phones, which are:
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 i8160
Samsung Galaxy S Advance i9070
LG Optimus 2X Speed P990
Sony Xperia Sola
Because of the little money I will have now and in the foreseeable future, I want the device to run a long and healthy in the inside of my pants pocket. Therefore I would like to receive update for quite some time, so it doesn't become an old phone months after I bought it. With that I mean, I want updates, and currently I would like my phone to be running Jelly Bean.
And now comes the problem that I can't seem to wrap my head around. I want Jelly Bean, and the updates that come after, either updates from the manufacturer or updates from a third party. The Galaxy Ace for example has an update to ICS, whilst the S Advance seems to have not. Both look like great phones, but it feels unsure to me that either of those will receive further updates. The Galaxy Ace even seems to be fading out of the stores, so I'm afraid Samsung will lose interest in that device soon and not bring out updates any longer, and neither the community is very much active for both the Samsung phones I selected.
Then I stumbled across the LG Optimus 2x Speed P990, which is also a dual-core, something that the previous phones also have. The only downside I see to that phone is that is comes from 2011, and thus is getting a bit older and might not receive that much updates, or might not become capable of that many updates.
The the Xperia Sola. I just love the way it looks, but the battery can't be replaced, there is not even ICS yet, and there seems to be indication from Sony that there will be even thought of JB. With those two things together, it feels like a phone which can't hold very long. I also considered the little brother of this phone, the Xperia Miro which should be released next month, while the price might justify the low spec, but then there is still the update issue.
Of course there is room for other suggestions, as long as it's in the same price range and available in the EU. I plan on using it as an all-round device, browsing the internet, chatting on irc, listening to (FLAC) music, and perhaps a couple of videos to entertain myself. The reason I selected dual cores is solely because of I think they will last longer.
I do give my apologies for the many words I have written. Therefore let me make a TL;DR to apologize.
Many, many thanks in advance!
TL;DR Looking for relatively cheap Android phone with JB in the foreseeable future, and future update support from either the manufacturer or the community for at least the upcoming three years.
There are no guarantees with any of those. I would think the Sony is the most likely to see JB. Samsung is somewhat hit or miss with phones outside of their flagship devices. Sony actively works to help devs with a few of theirs. LG has a pretty bad rep when it comes to leaving certain phones in the dust as well, but the Optimus should be okay. That's just my input.
First off where are you located? If your in the US go with the Galaxy nexus for $350 straight from Google. You will get all the latest OS updates with that phone.
Also you did say how much you plan on spending.

Xperia Sola WILL have JB, that you can be sure. No one knows when, but it will have it. I recommend it, half of this recommendation for being a Sony fan. The other half for what you said.

I've also looked a bit at the Sola, but what I don't like there is the small and embed battery in the phone. I don't get why Sony would pack a smaller battery for a phone that asks more.

Me neither. But know that all Xperia phones from 2012 were designed in Sony Ericsson era. The true Sony phones will come next year.

Today I was looking at the Galaxy S Advance and the LG Prada. I would prefer the S Advance over the Prada since it was cheaper, but there is no sign of support for ICS yet, the Samsung forums are quiet about ICS for the S Advance. Will there be updates for the S Advance?
And then I took a peek at the LG Prada. It's not that I wanted to go for the brand, but the specifications are nice and there is ICS on it already. But then, it is again somewhat more expensive. Would the Prada be worth it?
Hmm, well I personally have never been a huge fan of LG phones. That, plus Samsung's hold on the smartphone market is significantly more prominent than LG's. So if you're planning on flashing any custom software in the future (especially useful if you're not planning to get another one for a while), I'd pick one of the Samsung phones. Whichever one was more popular.
I still say Sony is your best bet. Out of the companies you mentioned they have the best record of supplying updates.
Hi
I am going to buy one.
Which details should I know for buying this tablet?
About everything like srial number or manufacturer country or ....
Thanks for guiding me.

what do you mean? as long as you are happy with the specs and form factor, just buy it.
play with it extensively for the first week and make sure nothing fails on it.
also, dont be put off by the little lags here and there (expecially in the browser or when downloading an app) it is most likely a software issue and will be fixed fairly soon.
Hello. I want to buy one of these phones. Whitch should i buy? I wont use LTE, because my carrier doesn't support it. I dont really care about camera and I will be using spotify for music so I dont care about internal storage. But the most interesting thing is that Optimus G is cheaper than Nexus 4 in my country. So whitch should I buy?

They seem to be mostly the same: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5048&idPhone2=4941
I'd go for the Nexus (if it's not that much more expensive), as it will surely get the next few updates.
whitch phone has better music quality?
Well the the Optimus G and Nexus 4 are basically the same phone internally except for a few things such as LTE ad a external sdcard. If you looking at how long your phone would be supported according to updates I would go for the Nexus 4 but if money is tight then go for Optimus G as it is literally the same phone. Overall if money isn't a problem then go with the Nexus 4 it is a good investment as you will be able to enjoy many iterations of android on it.

"The Google Nexus 4 audio output is virtually identical to that of the LG Optimus G. Hardly shocking, given that most of the circuitry inside is identical, but still pretty good news."
-GSMArena review
You can find it here:
http://www.gsmarena.com/google_nexus_4-review-860p8.php
I linked to the page with music quality tests.
The Optimus G spec sheet states that it includes "Dolby mobile sound enhancement", whereas the Nexus 4 doesn't. It might be more of a marketing term, though.
But I know how to install custom rom (I've done it hundreds of times with my atrix), so I can have latest android in optimus G too. I saw there is few stable roms for optimus G. So maybe thats the reason i should buy optimus G?
If you're into flashing - ROMs, that is - and the OG is cheaper, why not go with the OG? It's virtually identical to the N4, but has 32GB internal storage - there is no external SD card option.
I personally prefer the design of the N4, as it's more rounded and comfortable to hold than the OG. Also, I like knowing that I'll be getting updates straight from Google.
They're both great phones. Can't go wrong with either one.
