Android Gingerbread Operating System

Android Gingerbread
The LG Enlighten runs the Android 2.3 operating system (dubbed Gingerbread)--the fastest version of Android available for smartphones yet. It features a cleaner, more refined interface with new icons, improved top notification bar, and more intuitive navigation.
Multitasking in Gingerbread allows you the ability to run more than one app at a time. If you're playing a game, you can easily switch to an incoming e-mail and then switch back to the game without losing your place. And like the previous version of Android ("Froyo"), Gingerbread provides support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for access to the full Web.
A new onscreen keyboard makes it easier to type thanks to additional spacing between the keys and larger font sizes. And the more you use the keyboard, the easier typing will be as the enhanced suggest feature records previous input history to make better suggestions.
The LG Enlighten also brings one-touch access to the popular Google mobile services you use every day. It also provides easy access to both personal and corporate e-mail, calendars, and contacts supported by Exchange Server and Gmail. And through Android Market, you'll get access to thousands of useful applications, widgets, and fun games to download and install on your phone, with many more apps being added every day.

5Enlightened.


By Frank Lockwood

This is my first Droid phone, and my umpteenth LG phone. I've had it for over a month now.

Calls: Call quality is EXCELLENT, better than any other phone I've had. I can hear every word perfectly, and the speakerphone on it is very loud. I love this phone for its volume. Haven't had a single dropped call.

Texting: Superb. I hate touch screen texting, and it has that option if you're so inclined. The slide out keyboard is great. It does take some getting used to, as the bottom row of the qwerty is to the left and right of the space bar. That took about a week to get the hang of. Now I don't need to even look at the keyboard to type at all. The buttons have a very nice feel to them. And the screen does a good job knowing when to rotate the screen for you.

Web: It's fast, what can I say. I'm spoiled when it comes to internet speed, and although this doesn't instantaneously display webpages (takes a few seconds to load pages that are heavy on graphics) it's great enough for me. The youtube app is really quick, too.

Screen: Very responsive. I did purchase a screen protector and hard case for it, looked pretty slick. For the record, I'm a clumsy fool, and I've dropped this phone three times (all before I got the case.) One time, it fell off the hand rail at the side of the toilet at work (oops) and hit the floor face down, screen first, about 4 feet. I thought for sure it was a goner. Not a single scratch! And it works perfectly. (As I'm typing this, I glanced at the phone, and the paint on the extra hard case I bought is starting to peel. Eff this cheap stuff, I need to get a new case. Not the phone's fault of course. :)

Navigation: No issues whatsoever. The front page is easy to set up, I have all my icons organized very neatly, and everything is within easy reach.

Camera: Meh. It takes pics just fine in the daylight. But with only 3.2 mp, and no flash, it leaves a lot to be desired (especially when compared to the camera on the iphone.) The video recording is actually pretty good for a phone, although again, no flash. I'm not taking stars away for this though -- just know what you're purchasing!

Battery: Started off pretty abysmal. After some tweaks, it's miraculous now. On a full charge, I can go between 12 and 24 hours without having to charge it, which for a smart phone, I think it outstanding. Here's some tips for prolonging the battery life:

1. Decrease screen brightness to 20%. It's still SO SO bright at that level, I have no problems seeing the screen in sunlight.

2. Shut off all that GPS crap in the settings, and make sure auto synch is OFF. This is such a huge battery drain. When you need to use the GPS, it takes two clicks to enable it, use GPS, and then disable it again. Very simple.

3. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT install the Facebook application from the Android market! First of all, it's GARBAGE, even more so than the cake from Black Swan. A lot of the features are disabled, it's clunky, and it freezes up a lot. Bookmark facebook.com on the phone and use the internet to access the page that way. Trust me, it's fantastic. You can do everything you can normally do on facebook, it's super fast, and super easy. The mobile version of the facebook website is spectacular. Also, if you download the facebook app, it wastes a LOT of battery life constantly scanning to see if you get new facebook updates, etc. If you need to know that badly that your friend from high school 20 years ago that you never talk to had a baby with that guy you always hated but secretly loved, then you also need to move on with your life. I check my facebook when I'm bored through the website, it's fast, it's easy, and it consumes so much less battery life.

4. Turn off the sounds that play every time you hit a key or a button. It's annoying anyway, and just wastes more battery.

All in all, I am extremely happy I got this phone. It's the best one I've ever owned, and ironically, the cheapest.

inJOY!

5Enlightened, and Very Pleased


By Carmen L. Williams

This phone really does the job for me. I can go online, keep up with my e-mail, check the weather forecast, use Google for navigation, take pictures, and add apps. Plus it has a slide-out keyboard for texting if you're clumsy typing on the touchscreen like I am! My phone conversations sound good, and the ringtones can be turned up quite loud so I can hear the phone when it's in my purse in a noisy store, or when I forget it in another room at home. (I favor the chime ringtones.) I'm selecting a hard case for it on Amazon now, to help protect it from breaking if I drop it. There are so many pretty cases that it's hard to choose one!
