if i installed a lot of applications, it last only half day.
by lot i mean really lot of running application like go launcher, go sms, go contacts, live wallpaper, some instant messaging (they ran services), pulse (ran service). juice defender, avast antivirus, Onavo data monitor.
Then now i factor reset it and just installed go sms, it now can last 1.5 hours normal use.
very significant.
Remember, even though applications go "sleep", they are still in RAM. and RAM needs power (battery).
So, uninstall apps you don't use.

How can I upgrade?
each time I connect my phone and run LG Phone updater, it says your phone is up to date, no need to update!
is there any official English firmware to download?

I need to have Japanese Language in my keyboard preferences. How could I do that? Is it possible that there's an application in the Android Market for this? I love this phone but only for the absence of Japanese language-support, I might trade it for other phone which does. Please help. Thank you.

-also an Android newbie

guys...dont listen to people who don't know the phone well and dont tweak much
am using this phone since a while and battery life is good and it depends on what ROM you are using
(in Zeus gingerbread am getting about 8 hours of continuous play...stand by is much more and normal usage about 1.5 days)
audio quality is aweful with the earphones u get
if you buy a good one its great :) and you can use different audio players to tweak your sound...like power amp!

screen is great and if you see on xda developers...support for this phone is just on it's top!

downside is that there is new quad core phones coming but it does the job and is blazing fast
(fastest in custom roms)
games i've tried work great (asphalt 6 hd...)
i dont really find a downside and its getting ICS ;)

Dear User LG OB, if u dont want anything happen 2 ur phone, don't change anything or some problem might occur. if you wish to upgrade or download anything, u should refer to LG, don't simply go to phone shop.. i've been used this phone 4 6mths already...and i really like it!! compare to my previous phone... Galaxy Ace. :).

battery life of this phone will last if you download the EASY TASK KILLER in the android market. choose that brand. it is the most effective brand among all battery saver or task killer.
