I had the same problem when i bought it. So i took it to my mobile carrier's technician and he told me it's a problem with the gadget so you need to change it, that's what i did the next day i bought it.Check the guarantee No solution for that. Good Luck

hi guys any good apps for this phone lg p350 to make it even more useful??
Seems to me that it separates pictures that you capture with the camera from pics that you BlueTooth.
If you're seeing the pic that you bluetoothed, then up in the top left corner of the screen there should be what looks like a tiny picture of a couple snowy mountains.
Pressing on it should show 2 "folders". One of them obviously being your camera pics.

Hi there folks,
I'm new to the forum and got a P350/Optimus ME for sometime now. I found this handset pretty decent for the price I paid (roughly $60), but with a bunch of caveats more or less solvable, so I'll summarize what I've discovered so far:
1 - Battery life: 5 to 6 hours with 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth or GPS always turned on. I managed to extend battery duration using the Power Control widget to disable all this services when I'm not using them. I also rooted the beast using gingerbreak.rar following a tip on this forum and managed to install the SetCPU app, which can under-clock the handset to 122Mhz when the phone is idle. It's useful and spares a lot of battery. Managing the background apps and wireless connections as well as underclocking the handset makes battery life improve to something like 6 to 7 days.
2 - Performance: Avoid, if you can, the G+ client (I can't). I love Google Plus, but the client for Android looks bloated - at least for this handset. It clogs memory, sucks up CPU cycles and makes the overall experience miserable every time it's running. The BBC News and Economist apps were also bad so I uninstalled them right away. Bloated apps make the P-350 very unhappy.
3 - 3G: Although it's fast and works splendidly on the p-350, my data plan cap sucks, so I'm using 2G and sparing battery power and a few bucks. The WiFi feature is very decent, too, and I managed to achieve 7Mbps downloads measured with the Speed Test app.
4 - Apps: The Advanced task killer app helped me to unload background apps like G+, music, or any other I'm not using for the moment. As for the apps, Twitter, Facebook, World Newspapers, Opera, RT, RealCalc, AdobeReader, VNC, ASTRO, ES Task Manager, Landroid, Photoshop Express, Picasa Tool, Goodreads, Chrome to Phone, Barcode Scanner and Dropbox apps, among others, are all ok and light enough to provide a positive experience on the handset. Fifa 10, Pool Master, Quake, AngryBirds, PaperToss also ran beautifully.
5 - Games: Gaming is decent provided you disable everything (WiFi, auto-sync, GPS, bluetooth) and make a preemptive cleaning on the background running apps.
6 - Voice: For a LG , the phone system is pretty good. My kid used to have another - non-Android - LG handset and call/voice quality sucked bad.
I just keep in mind this phone CPU makes 600 bogomips, measured by SetCPU, and it's the same that a AMD K6 from years ago did (as opposed to the 3000 bogomips a Galaxy SII provides, which is comparable to a Pentium 4 1500Mhz), so I had to barebone the OS to the maximum in order to squeeze the best performance from it.
Cheers,
Rico.

And also can you show me step by step the gingerbread app? thanks a lot.
Hi Pierre,
I was talking about the exploit to gain root access to the LG P350, not the gingerbread new OS version that, as far as I know, is not yet available to this handset. A simple google search for gingerbreak.rar (I'm also a newbie, so I can't yet post links) will direct you to the file. Just unpack it, transfer via USB or Bluetooth to the handset and install it via some file manager (Astro, ES File Manager, etc).
Remember: after gaining root access you can *potentially* do things that can damage permanently your handset, so unless you already know what you're doing and what are the benefits, it's wise to do some research of your own on the pros and cons of such an endeavor.
For me, one of the best benefits was the fact I can run some network and development tools I couldn't without root access.
Good luck.

I am new to this forum or any forum for that matter, I had some questions and was wondering if anyone can help.
1. Every time I make a call the phone automatically locks is there a way to change that?
2. I seem to get text messages if there is a missed call telling me that I have a missed call.
3. when I place a call it says divert activated any ideas what that is or why that happens?
4. There are a bunch of apps that came with the phone I want to delete them but it wont let me how do I do it?
5. Why can't I seem to find anything about this phone on lg site. It seems as far as they are concerned this phone doesn't exists?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. If I posted this in the wrong thread I apologize if you could direct me to somewhere better to post that would be helpful thanks.

Welcome, ntf34,
Your questions:
1 - I also find annoying the lock phone feature, but I guess it's there to prevent the accidental answering of the phone when it is on your pocket, for example.
2 - Same here and I find this useful.
3 - Probably you have some sort of call forwarding on your settings. Check your phone config. It happened to me on an old Nokia I had and I disabled the feature and the message went away.
4 - To delete (or move to the SD card) the default apps you have to root your phone and manually erase them. If you're not familiar with Linux or Android, it's better to take your time and do some research of your own before doing so. I did it, but not without some fear of losing/bricking the phone. The forum is full of good tips to do so and I learnt a lot here.
5 - Truth is: The LG site is ugly/clumsy/trashy as hell. There's a Brazilian site for the P350, but it's poor and very clunky with lots of flash screens and few useful information. I couldn't find an English version of the site for the P-350, though. Sorry for not posting the links, but I'm also a newbie on the forum, so no links for me yet.

you will need the arabic add-on, try searching the marketplace for "arabic" among the most popular downloads.
The PC Suite doesn't work on Windows XP, if that is what you're using.
Maybe they're just not displaying. Go to your contacts, hit the options button, go to display options, then "Choose contacts to display". Hope this helps. If you have deleted them, I think that you can't bring them back.
Flash is unsupported on this operating system / phone. As for MP4, the standard player will play that nicely.

Try restoring it to factory settings (save your messages, contacts etc somewhere) and keep it low with the amount of apps you install. This is a very slow phone, low end market and cannot support a lot of apps installed. Try turning off automatic sync, and killing all of the processes now and then (there's a widget for both of these things - power control and app manager widgets).

If you are trying to sync with an iPhone, that doesn't work because of Apple. On all other devices, works just fine.
