best music player and video player for P500? - powerAmp for music. 30days free trial, $4 later. Worthy. Mobo player for video, free.
2. best PDF reader - adobe pdf, free. You already have thinkfree office preinstalled. That does the job of ms word/ppt/excel/pdf. Else "buy" quick office pro.
PDF file that the specific app can open. - no idea, haven't tried.
3. i installed the LG PC Suite provided in the memory card. -get rid of it. Useless Junk
but now I want to backup those contacts to my google account. - add your gmail a/c on your phone. Phonebook > menu > accounts > your gmail a/c > sync contacts. Note that ALL your contacts in gmail will get synced on ur phone and viceversa. So if u have an orkut account with 64596985598 friends, beware! You can also export ur contacts to sd card
and how will i know if the contacts have been propwrly synced to my account or not???? - you'll know when it does

Yes and no! I hope you know that Matroska - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is a container. Usually the video code used is H.264/MPEG-4 AVC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and the audio codec used varies (usually vorbis, flac, AAC or just plain mp3). I have had very little luck playing even 480p high profile videos smoothly on CM 7.1 with Franco kernel overclocked to 729 Mhz.tufel said:
I would like to upgrade my sd card..is class 6 sd card available in any shop in mumbai? what is the cost?
I enquired in one shop and they are saying that normally shop keepers won't take the stock as class 6 card is double the cost of class 4. Is it so?

govigov said:help!!!! i am trying to get to see those contacts on google for months now.
phone book > menu > accounts > your a/c > contacts. It'll take its time and sync. You may not be able to see contacts that have been synced from your gmail because you'd have chosen not to.
phonebook > menu > display options > untick only contacts with phones (most contacts on gmail will have an email address only, so if you wanna see them, you untick this)
Also, scroll down ti choose contacts to display > you'll find sim/phone/gmail options. Tap on each one of them and set whatever you want to see and what you don't wanna see.

For the other way around, take a backup of all your gmail contacts as .csv or something, delete all the contacts, then sync. Something must show up...
Not sure if this was posted earlier.. I have updated my Optimus 1 to the official ginger bread European release hyeah:, which i found at this link Manually Installing Gingerbread 2.3.3 Official Firmware - Android Forumshttp://androidforums.com/lg-optimus...ling-gingerbread-2-3-3-official-firmware.html
the phone seems to be running well, seems a bit fast, the icons are different.. and best part is that all the junk applications are removed..
Since this is an official ROM.. the upgrade was non destructive.. my contacts, configuration, messages were not deleted.
I had to reinstall Ndrive and install a new file manager (Astro) from the market.. otherwise the phone is working without issues.
Need to run it for a while before commenting on battery life..

I am facing a silly issue . i have replaced the home screen bottom bar SMS and browser icons with the custom App that i got(Go SMS and Dolphin browser). every time i reboot, i see that they get reset to default LG app icons.
I am pretty happy with the simplistic looks of LG Home but this issue is annoying me. any solution ?

guys,
what this "dust issue" is all about? I am kinda made up my mind to get this phone, however this has been a deterrence. So, if I order one from LB, how are the chances of getting a "dust-free" OP1?
Also my second query: Is there anmy procedure to get rid of the crap preloaded apps, without rooting it? I am a noob in android and dont want to tinker with my new 9 grands fone, scared of bricking it.
Thanks for your patience to answer my question.
