Ok so my older sister has this phone, I do not. I hava a htc hero and have been rooted and flashing for awhile so I'm pretty familiar with most stuff. She came to me with some questions that I cannot answer because I'm not familiar with the LG Optimus S. As of right now she is unrooted, so before I root it for her I want to give her some answers and make sure that rooting it will solve these problems rather than taking it in to the store first so I don't have to unroot.
1. How much internal memory does the phone have? and is there an apps2sd available for it?
She said that often she cannot download apps because there is not enough room (she thinks, they just don't download basically). She cannot download angry birds and other random apps because it gives her "unknown error reason 18" What does that mean? Some apps can be moved to sd card others cannot. Internal memory says there's about 60mb free? This is the main issue.
2. She said that she will get FC's on random apps when she's using them. (couldn't name the apps of course, go figure) but I assume this shouldn't be happening on a completely stock brand new phone.
I told her rooting and flashing a new rom would most likely fix problem number 2. My brother's hero had weird problems and when I flashed a custom rom they disappeared. I figured the same would apply here.
Problem number 1 though is where I need the most help. So I came here to you guys, the Optimus experts for some answers.
By the way, I'm an XDA guy, first time here at android central, so if this is in the wrong section or whatever, forgive me. Didn't mean to, just didn't see anywhere else to ask.
