In September of 2011 LG Optimus S started receiving its Gingerbread update but it broke a lot more than it fixed or improved. Sprint was forced to pull the update and fix it. It’s now April of 2012, and most Optimus S devices still have not received the update, and the ones who did experienced a handful of pretty crippling issues. Here’s a long list of the changes you will find:
– Device not charging
– SD card un-mounting error
– Device not recognized by Windows SP, Vista, or 7 operating systems
– Predictive Text with Android Keyboard issue
– Voice call volume issue
– Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
– Updated color scheme (includesdarker notification bar and black-based menus)
– New on-screen keyboard (supports multi-touch input and a smart auto-correction function)
– Improved cut-paste functionality
– New integrated download application for ease in accessing downloaded files
– Updated camera application
– Power management and task killer applications
