2.1 release due in July 2010

[Guest ijcy]

I just think it was OS Upgrade... but i am wrong it's Optimus software update.

Still waiting for Eclair or Froyo come out in Optimus.

so what did it update?

[Guest onlinejobwork]

so what did it update?

Did u said FROYO? sorry but it will never even come officialy for such a Low end mobile like this, and its bit hard to find custom 2.2 for this device as no one look interested to make custom rom with 1.6 or even 2.1

so froyo needs high end mobile? higher specs?

OMG , even htc g1 dream has 2.2 custom rom , so lg gt540 has the desired specs for custom 2.2 .

[Guest RottenFoxBreath]

No, it doesn't..that's what they would want you to believe, but the GT540 would be capable, as it's higher spec than some phones, and equal to some of the foreign ones that are coming out..

Take for example the HTC Wildfire, thats getting or got 2.2, and its crap, no GPU, low res, and the processor is slooow.

I think the reason the phone is cheap is because it uses resistive screens instead of capacitive. I find the hardware pretty decent for $80 with contract.

In the reply I received from LG France and I posted some pages ago, they said they will give us an upgrade to 2.2 by the end of the year.

so LG will release a update or not????

[Guest PaulZero]

In due time, yes. As far as any of us really know they're working out bugs right now.

[Guest borovaka]

I updated my phone with 2.1. Look on other posts in the forum there you can found kdz with android 2.1

[Guest DELDROID]

Hi all! New to the site and glad to be here! Would just like to say, in terms of the gt540 being incapable of running froyo..... I don't see why the specs should make any difference, seeing as the upcoming Optimus One has almost the exact same specs except that it'll have a capacitive screen and froyo. My girlfriend's got a gt540 and it seems like a great phone. I was going to get one too but I'm now thinking I'll hold out for the Optimus One. I'm keeping an eye out for the gt540 update for her though!

[Guest ilovelg]

i just flashed to 2.1 also, the phone works like a charm, and im really happy now :]

[Guest Amar_93]

Has anybody in England managed to update yet? And could some one please give me step by step instructions on how to update to 2.1. Thanks

[Guest ilovelg]

Has anyone been able to sync ure phone after 2.1 update with the PC Suite ? My Phone cant seem to communicate with the PC suite :lol:

Problem Fixed: Used 2way Sync and it worked.

[Guest soulclaimed]

im tempted to try but dont want to brick my phone and void my warranty bit of a waste of 100 pounds if it goes wrong

[Guest Kinosaki]

does the phone have multi touch now?

[Guest ilovelg]

does the phone have multi touch now?

GT 540 have Resistive Screen, Resistive screen dont support Multi Touch. ROM updates have nothing to do with it.

[Guest Kinosaki]

oh dam that sucks.

[Guest sargie]

No update in the uk.

[Guest JanusDC]

No update in the uk.

Neither in France :lol:

[Guest PaulZero]

Is this now the topic for people who want 2.1 and their warranty intact?

Good luck to all of you with the Baltics ROM, but I know I personally can't afford to lose the warranty on this thing.
