To determine your position ur phone needs to establish a connection between satellite and phone.this process is called a satellite lock(gps lock). Once it acquires the lock ,the data recieved from satellites is translated into coordinates of ur location. But it will take some time to get a gps lock coz gps modules in phones are not that powerfull like a dedicated gps navigation system. Its almost imposibble when ur inside home, stay in an open space for faster gps lock. And im not sure why but first time it will always take a bit more time,after that it ll perform much faster.Originally posted by madhav krishna View PostWell its my first mobile with a gps so am a noob about it

LG Optimus One P500 Anyday!Originally posted by haxor View PostHTC Wildfire or LG optimus L500 ?
Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

The O1 comes with a higher capacity battery, faster processor, double RAM, preinstalled GPS Turn-by-Turn voice guided navigation software (which costs 2.5k to buy). The only thing going for Wildfire on the other hand is the higher 5mpix camera w.r.t. 3.2 for the O1.
Also, LG has promised Gingerbread (Android 2.3) for O1. No such announcement for Wildfire as of now.Advice is a form of nostalgia.

Re: Mobile Phones
And the display used in the Wildfire is nothing to write home about. The P500 is a better phone anyday. And if you have anyone in the UK, get the ZTE Blade aka Orange San Francisco. Will cost under 10k but is an awesome phone for the money

The thing,is if they can afford to sell n8 at this rate in us. We can expect a similar price cut here too.(hopefully)
That coupon code was not working for both me(in India) and my bro (in US)..2002 - Pulsar 150 Classic (Still owned)

Yups it was/might have been a short-lived promotion....
Yes Tab seems to be a pretty good gadget as of its 3 days of age with me...
It has got every damn feature you could think of....
Lets see how my views change later...

Well P500 costs 12495 and HTC wildfire 15999.
and a 16GB Micro SD costs about 1500 here.
P500 seems to be a better option lets see!Speak Less,Speak Wise!

Guys I got alot of money to waste right now
so wanting to buy a 25k phone.
Since the time the X1 came out I wanted to. Now I have the option of X10 and Galaxy S, both are really really nice.
One can click better pics, one can view them better.
One has my heart all flustered, one has my brain in overdrive.
I really just want to know which one do you guys like more and why and also which phone is what kind of phone, i.e. simple or complex.Ripping the streets of Bombay on my P250 M
