Add me to the clubhouse! I have a Droid X2 I just got today, it's a beast of a phone.
I'm in the process of rooting it.

Could someone help me choose between these 2 phones?
LG Optimus One P500 and the Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660 The LG is upgradeable to v2.3 (Gingerbread) and the Samsung is running v2.2 (Froyo). However, the Samsung is newer and may get an upgrade later. Thanks,

I would go with the Samsung. Faster cpu & Wifi N is the major points.
Also through a custom flash you can get 2.3.3 running. http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/...alaxy-gio.html |

If you are like me and suffering a power button issue or just would like a app that hard and soft reboots your phone or will power it off if need be. Quick Boot (Reboot) App works PERFECT!

Though, if you fork out a little more cash, there's much better phones to be found than both of these (after looking at the specs). Quote:

Plug it in when @ home.
Would keep the battery charged so when he's out he won't need to worry about keeping a charger handy.

When the phone is introduced to power such as a USB or AC power cord, It auto powers on. I just leave it on 24/7 but the program I listed above helps me out when I need to reboot the phone safely without having to yank the battery and reconnect to a power source to start the phone again.
I plan on in the future to fix the power button but right now it works just as good with the Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 and it has volume wake when the phone goes into standby. hell for 25$ You cannot beat it!

If you can root it and change the firmware you might could fix those flaws

looked into it, cant be done yet. people who tried ended up with bricked devices, its not popular enough for the experts to have had a go at it.

Hmm it seems to be a lower end tablet but still has android OS 2.1 which is still good.
Maybe some will make a rooted firmware and then you can install ROM manager so u can flash all the ROMs you want. My personal fav is Cyanogen Mod 7 RC1

if the software can be rooted at a later date it'd be perfect, but for now its barely functional. when they removed the default phone/contacts options, they screwed up a lot of apps that tied into those features

Hmm, I was under the impression those Pads were a lot more open than phones, but apparently I'm mistaken!

seems the hardware doesnt quite meet androids specs, and thusly things go to shit - no GPS or bluetooth for example, apps that use the camera crash or lag extremely badly trying to load it, etc. doesnt even have vibrate, its tied into the speaker. that said, for a portable web browser/media player/ebook reader, its perfect. works great on TPU with a stylus, bit iffy with fingers tho.

His pad seems to have a rom from a phone device. The other pads I have seen use a custom firmware made for tablets

This device is the winner for cheap tablet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=953 Stock firmware is awful, but change it to something on here. ( corvus 5 is best at the moment IMO, supports game pads/keyboards/USB disk drives/rotation lol ) but soon vegacomb will be finished, hardware accelerated flash wil come soon I hope. |
