Lg Optimus S User Review

[NinjaLIAM1000]

So the phone isnt messed up? It just restores all my messaging settings back to default? Thank you so much for the help. If you could answer that last question thatd calm my concience.

[romanpower3]

@NinjaLIAM1000 Clearing the data from the messaging app just resets the app. no worries about breaking it.

[NinjaLIAM1000]

@romanpower3 ok, sorry i know that i've been pestering you with these in depth questions, but thanks so much for all the help. your videos are great. subscribed you. and is this still your main phone or have you moved on? again, thanks so much for all your help man.

[romanpower3]

@NinjaLIAM1000 Thanks! I have moved on, but my sister still has my optimus!

[NinjaLIAM1000]

@romanpower3 haha! good that its been passed on. I like this phone alot its pretty awesome. hope you liked it when you previously used it, as well as your current phone! :D

[NinjaLIAM1000]

I have a question, I got my LG Optimus S yesterday, and i've sent quite a few texts between 5-ish people. I've amounted to a ridiculous amount overall and I would like to know how to delete your texts, both recieved and sent. Romanpower3, please help, I am dying to know for future reference. if you could help me, that'd be great. Nice video by the way!

[romanpower3]

@NinjaLIAM1000 You can set a limit in settings of the messaging app. So it deletes old messages as it fills up. Or you can long press on the conversation to delete them all and start anew.

[NinjaLIAM1000]

@romanpower3 Ok I figured that out, but this is even more important, Before you replied, I thought I could try to figure it out, because normally I adapt to these things rather quickly, and basically, what I tried to do, was I went into settings, went into applications, then to manage applications, I then went into Running Applications. I found messaging,and it gives you multiple options, one is force stop, one in uninstall, and another is " Clear data " which is what I did. I pressed clear

[romanpower3]

@NinjaLIAM1000 that just clears it all. And it clears your settings as well.

[NinjaLIAM1000]

@romanpower3 data, and a popup came up on screen saying, that all of this applications data will be deleted permanately, and it gave examples as what would be deleted. those were: files, settings, accounts, and databases. So I pondered if this would work, and I pressed Yes, and now, since i've found out the correct way to delete messages, I am worried that i've messed up my phone in some way, Do you think something could have happened?.. Has it happened to you before? possible outcomes?..

[NinjaLIAM1000]

@romanpower3 if you could answer me that much I would really appreciate it.

[TheZukicat]

Hell again. Whats the diference when you said WIFI and 3G? Thanks a lot again!

[romanpower3]

@TheZukicat Just one takes up more of the battery! wifi does!

[TheZukicat]

I ordered this phone... thanks to you! I REALLY appreciate it! Thanks A LOT!

[romanpower3]

@TheZukicat No problem!

[blackjacket123]

[BUGGYI8]

Nice review man just being yourself

[loveyou1331]

@romanpower3 can you use youtube with this phone? also, hows the battery life?

[romanpower3]

@loveyou1331 You can use youtube, in standard and in HD. I addressed the battery life in a different video i believe, check it out!

[R0ckForevagurl]

Hey this was a amazing review...hoping to get this phone! :D I had a question though cuz i'm quiet a text messenger what do you think of the text messenging?, i fooled around with it at the sprint store love the phone overall. just wanted your thought on the text messenging touchscreen :)

[romanpower3]

@R0ckForevagurl With some different keyboards, and some different texting apps, it gets better and faster. I believe i talk about it in my other phone videos. Check them out :D

[beachbunny0690]

Need to be fixed bad oh I only have had my phone a week the only bad thing about the phone is the hard ware buttons :(

[beachbunny0690]

[ashley8801]

[Nabiro96]

Thanks I'm getting one tomorrow !

[elementsktrj]

Ur funny. Lol

[MrGunyBUNY]

THANKS FOR THE REVIEW IM GETTING ONE TOMORROW AND I WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT IT

[Blimmian]

I love this review. And I'm so excited because I'm going to be getting this phone soon. I've never had sprint before I've always been on at&t. And I'm just wondering about app downloading. Like do you have to get packages? or can you download them one at a time?

[romanpower3]

@Blimmian First off, you do not need to to download any sprint ID's at all. But you can, and they do come in packs of apps. Or you could download the Clean ID and then download whatever apps you want. :D

[MIK3Y6472]

So far I do too. Do u know n e thing about when we might be getting gingerbread for the optimus? I keep looking for new updates but. I'd assume we get the 2.3 update since they give us the launcher too play with

[romanpower3]

@MIK3Y6472 No clue, but i am keeping my eye out. I hope this year when it starts rolling out for other phones.

[mailliwlawlw]

@romanpower3 Lg announced that when 2.3 gingerbread is available, the optimus line will be able to upgrade

[MIK3Y6472]

What I like about this phone was I had only 23% of internal memory space and the phone still runs smoothly....that was of course before I knew how to move apps 2 sd

[romanpower3]

@MIK3Y6472 I love LG.

[chancepants76]

Nice video!:D



[romanpower3]

@chancepants76 Thank you!

[bonbonalizer]

Thanks :)!!!!!

[bonbonalizer]

Awesome vid but I was just wondering what plans do you need to be able to use the hotspot capabilities? Do you need to pay any extra fees?

[romanpower3]

@bonbonalizer The plan should not matter, but it is a extra cost!

[aortiz375]

I just ordered this phone and this was proabably the best review ive seen thanks dude

[romanpower3]

@aortiz375 Thank You!

[blackmastervqs]

Nice review

[tuki987able]

[romanpower3]

@tuki987able That is a possible next video idea that i might do! Ill think about it!

[andymvp10]

awesome review

[romanpower3]

@andymvp10 Thank you!

[andymvp10]

Is the Optimus S the US version of the Optimus one?

[romanpower3]

@andymvp10 It is not. Sadly.

[AshleyLikesCouture]

Great review. This is the best review i seen. Every one else talks about the apps and id packs...not the features of the phone. Thanks.

[XYZAffair19]

Kids room

[romanpower3]

@amyisrael5 I dont understand, if the pics your looking at are in your gallery, then they are already on your sd card.

[romanpower3]

@sternsteve96 Yes it does!

[bigmac3006]

No one ever holds the phone still while showing its features. HOLD THE PHONE STILL!

[Apesduh]

Thank you!

[illyb2012]

i'm thinking about getting this phone. this will be my first all touch screen phone and i wanted to know how is the texting on it?

[romanpower3]

@illyb2012 Yes! Check out my follow up video, i explain there!

[senorseis66]

This phone just came out for virgin mobile. Im getting it fir my birthday :D

[romanpower3]

@senorseis66 Awesome, I support this.

[zackyveangence]

*haha

[zackyveangence]

Haggard ya but how do u lol:D

[propxprt69]

Fantastic job reviewing this phone. I just bought one of these for my wife. I'm pretty excited to see how it compares to my hero with aosp 2.2.

[romanpower3]

@propxprt69 2.2 is awesome! :D hope you enjoy!

[zackyveangence]

Question how lol:D

[romanpower3]

@zackyveangence Ha, ha, ha, i see what you did there!

[pwnetic0energy]

thanks didnt understand the whole camera button 2 click thing although i love my phone 

[zackyveangence]

Can u put a signature for txt messaging

[romanpower3]

@zackyveangence Yes, you can! :D

[zackyveangence]

hey I got it a lil late on the update haha:D BUT can u put a signature on this phone:0

[romanpower3]

@zackyveangence Very good to know, thanks!

[leviandwalmarts]

Do you think the screen is small for texting? I have a Blackberry 8530, so it will probably be an upgrade from that keyboard - but I just want to know. Thanks.

[romanpower3]

@leviandwalmarts My hands are large, but this phone works fine, if anything using a different keyboard is a great way to fix the problem!

[richardah1]

This was a great review. I agree with your comment about not finding too many reviews on this phone. None of them seemed like a REAL review. So thank you for yours. You provided some very good information and tips.

[romanpower3]

@richardah1 Thank you! :D

[nightmarea7xrev]

do you have to pay for the sprint ids? i need an answer im getting this tommrow

[romanpower3]

@nightmarea7xrev Most if not all are free.

[adrenalinpumped79]

can this phone use live wallpapers?

[romanpower3]

@adrenalinpumped79 it can, but it boggs it down.

[toomuchgame441]

The phone*

[toomuchgame441]

Good freaking review... sometimes i just want a normal person to give me their take on yhe

[romanpower3]

@toomuchgame441 Thank you! :D

[Ashleyrocks2150]

can you change the lock screen on this phone

[romanpower3]

@Ashleyrocks2150 whut do you mean? You can change what kind of lock.

[DamianGurich]

Dude thanks a lot. I hate the tech specs. I wish every phone had a user review and you helped me out a ton. So this is a recomended buy??

[romanpower3]

@DamianGurich No problem, and yes, i think its the best buy for a 3g phone on sprint!

[MsPinksparkles21]

Does it have good battery life even using the Internet sometimes beacuse someone said on the sprint website they had to charge it twice a day

[romanpower3]

@MsPinksparkles21 With twitter facebook texting and some calling, i last all day and some more!

[laluroeavnae]

can you set your own walpaper?

[romanpower3]

@laluroeavnae Yes you can, any pic you want.

[bummed82386]

hi!! does the camera have a flash?

[romanpower3]

@bummed82386 Sadly it does not.

[CashHoundEnt]

sprint sending me mines tomorrow...just got rid of the att htc aria......hope this is better

[romanpower3]

@CashHoundEnt O that is a tough comparison. I hope you enjoy what ever you get, android is quite fun and nice.

[amirhamza122]

I just ordered mine last night.

its my first Full touch screen phone. I'm scared

thanks for the tips

[romanpower3]

@amirhamza122 After getting use to it, its all good, this is my first all touch too, i am loving it more and more, and no problem!

[amirhamza122]

@romanpower3 do you have kinda big fingers?

how long did it take you to get used to the keyboard

[romanpower3]

@amirhamza122 I used swype for the longest time, then i am using the gingerbread keyboard, and i got use to it fast, like a smaller ipod touch keyboard!

[amirhamza122]

@romanpower3 Lol ...Thats good I guess i have to wait for mine to come in order to actually judge the keyboard.

Once again thanks for the help.

sorry for all the questions..ha ha

[romanpower3]

@amirhamza122 It's no problem! i love to answer questions! :D

[amirhamza122]

@romanpower3 my phone is here and its awesome the screen is sooo responsive. Voice searching awesome..Its the best phone I've ever had. Texting with swipe is a little hard, but the android key board is a beast

[romanpower3]

@amirhamza122 O good! Try out the gingerbread keyboard if you want! :D

[amirhamza122]

@romanpower3 lol that keyboard is from god

I have the demo version somehow, but its awesome

[PinkLadie21]

I just ordered this phone last night can't wait to try it :-)

[romanpower3]

@PinkLadie21 Awesome! :D

[churro14598]

hey dude, can this phone run game apps such as the angry birds app? if so, how are the graphics?

[romanpower3]

@churro14598 it can run games, and i have to admit, that it is not fluid, for angry birds, there is some lag scrolling.

[therurjuur]

Great review. Pretty sure I want this phone now :)

[romanpower3]

@therurjuur Thank you! :D

[MrSaiify]

@therurjuur I just ordered this phone today, although, i got it for free...at sprint . com and with unlimited data...i hope it will be ok....

[corey7323]

[foxyvixen19]

[romanpower3]

@foxyvixen19 No Problem! :D and i love your username, foxy vixen :3

[jordysgirl20]

I just purchased the phone today and the reviews did suck but I loved yours..very insightful...

[romanpower3]

@jordysgirl20 Thank you! :D

[ImpactFrame]

Can this use AIM in the phone? And on YouTube player on the phone, can you pause/skip? Also, how is texting? Thanks so much for answering in advance!

[romanpower3]

@ImpactFrame You can get the app in the app store, and you can pause and skip, and i talk about texting in my other video! :D

[ImpactFrame]

@romanpower3 Is the AIM app free? And oh I saw! Thanks dude! Very helpful!

[MercilessRaven613]

Toy Story 3, UP and Wall-E = EPIC

[romanpower3]

@MercilessRaven613 Thank you! :D

[bangbangCOD5]

quick question, how do you put the phone on SILENT, i cant find out how. And 1 more question lol, lets say I wanted to try to save some battery and some of my friends have told me of some apps called, App Task Killer , do you think this is useful?

[romanpower3]

@bangbangCOD5 You can put the volume, via the volume rocker to silent, and in the settings you can set vibrate to be off no matter what. And if you wanna make it silent when turning on and off, there is a app called Silent Boot. Then i do not like app task killer, cause apps in order to multitask need a cache, and if you kill the app, then the cache is cleared, and then its harder to open, so i dont use them! :D Did i help?

[Advocaretx]

@romanpower3 so am I. I'm only going to use the hotspot for the trip then it's gone, cost to much. I subscribed to your channel so feel free to subscribe to mine, once I get the sd card I'll be putting up more videos with the optimus, and of my trip!

[Advocaretx]

@romanpower3 I prefer Android. Um the Style was really buggy. Not much with it.

[romanpower3]

@Advocaretx I am proud you went with the Optimus S! :D

[Advocaretx]

@romanpower3 well I just picked up the phone after trading it for the Blackberry Style. And then lost my micro sd.

[romanpower3]

@Advocaretx Did you enjoy the bb style?

[Advocaretx]

@romanpower3 oops, my timing is always off.. Lol. Sorry bro.

[romanpower3]

@Advocaretx No it was really awesome!

[Advocaretx]

How good is the mobile hotspot on this phone? I'm about to go out of state and want to use my iPad wifi in the car. So is this phone a good option for wifi?

[romanpower3]

@Advocaretx In the new video i just put up, i answer your question. You commented right in the middle of me filming! :D

[twisterspin24]

can u do a video on texting?

[romanpower3]

@twisterspin24 Sure! Ill make it tomorrow, and try to upload it later that day. :D

[twisterspin24]

@romanpower3 thx!!

[micahsikah]

nice review man

[romanpower3]

@micahsikah Thanks! :D

[Dwheels1981]

are you going to do anymore video for this phone?

[romanpower3]

@Dwheels1981 I would love too, but I have no idea what to talk about, any idea's?

[Dwheels1981]

@romanpower3 I dont have the phone yet.....so I was just trying to see the most I could about the phone.

[darlingSDS]

so i just got this phone and i was wondering have you dropped your's? and if so did the screen crack? I'm uber clumbsy so im so worried about dropping it

[romanpower3]

@darlingSDS Havent dropped it yet, and i dont plan too. But i am sure it will take a hit without it taking damage like that! But idk, nothing bad yet

[darlingSDS]

@romanpower3 ok i havent dropped it yet thank god

thanks for the reply

[romalewalters]

I have the phone but do u know how to get themes

[romanpower3]

@romalewalters Theme's meaning the sprint id's?

[madman8451]

@romalewalters you have to got to the sprint I.D, then pick new, there will be a bunch for your choseing

[Krieger91]

Now they just need to make a good case for it, great phone though.

[romanpower3]

@Krieger91 They got one nice hardcase at the sprint store, and some generic gel ones out there.

[shadys1gurl]

Alright cool, cause I really wanna get this phone but I didn't wanna get screwed over on the keyboard and not be able to text..lol. But thanks for answering! :)

[shadys1gurl]

Is the keyboard easy to type on? Just wondering cause I have an upgrade coming up soon.

[romanpower3]

@shadys1gurl It is, its a bit cramped for the vertical keyboard, and the landscape keyboard is nice. And using swype is awesome on it.

[ab30494]

nice review, i odered mine online at sprints site, got it free, and free activation

[romanpower3]

@ab30494 Sweet! Nice deal for sure!

[wickidgrrl]

Hi rp3, thanks for a great user video. Tired of all of those specs videos, lol! Your twitpics looked pretty good with the phone. Not bad for 3.2megs >:)

I ordered mine this morning, got it for free. Can't wait to get it...and can't wait to be on froyo, I'm sure I'll love it!!!

[romanpower3]

@wickidgrrl Froyo is awesome, I feel bad for the sorry motoblur and galasy s phones that dont have it!

[flyhi4ever]

i just got mines a couple of days ago! I cant get tweetcaster to work for some reason. it keeps saying "login failed"

[romanpower3]

@flyhi4ever Might be the app. Go to market, use your option button, and then click on downloads to see if there is a update for the app.

[flyhi4ever]

@romanpower3 yeah thats what it was! thanks

[catchingsomezzzs]

I have my phone and its simply the best phone I've ever had. Everything you said in your review is accurate and the phone has exceeded my expectations by a landslide. once again thanks again for a review and have a great weekend.

[romanpower3]

@catchingsomezzzs Thank you! :D

[Davidcm2112]

Thanks for the tips. I am supposed to receive my Optimus via FedEx tomorrow with my new Sprint service. Do you use a case? If so, which one?

[romanpower3]

@Davidcm2112 I do not. But there is a nice one at sprint stores. I am planning on getting one, but. I use my 7 buck protection plan if it gets messed up.

[whoman64]

no because vm stands for Virgin mobile. it has the same number (670) and is supposed to be a future phone. but yea that 512mb of ram AND the adreno 220 GPU which is used on phones like the htc evo.

[whoman64]

i heard that the model number (lg vm670) is the optimus s going to well..... virgin mobile. id hold out till that. oh btw, way better than the transform. the 512mb of ram makes it smoother.
