LG Optimus One from Suncellular
You may notice that sudden increase in the number of my posts to Twitter and/or Facebook. This is due to my getting an LG Optimus One from Suncellular. The phone came with the Call and Surf Plan which gives you unlimited calls and surfing.
The LG Optimus One comes with the Android OS and a number of apps that I am just starting to experiment with. Have also been installing the different software packages available from the Android market until I hit a snag. Apparently he unit comes with a small internal memory of around 170mb. Once you fill that up, you can't install anymore programs even if you have installed a 16gb sdcard.
After a few days, I am unable to receive any more text messages even when I still have 20mb of internal memory left. I read somewhere that it will not accept anymore messages when you have less than 10% of internal memory left. Will need to do something about this.
However, one good thing that came with this unit is that I now have a better signal even when I'm inside the house or the office. I used to tell people that I don't have a signal because there is no sun in my room.

Connection Problem to Livestream using Sun Broadband
I’ve seen Livestream broadcast using Smartbro from the Celebration of Life service for Dr. Luis Pantoja Jr. the other week and thinking of the Sun Broadband can also do the same.
We attempted to do it once before during our high school batch reunion but the signal of Sun is terrible in Taguig where our event was held. Last night, Anvil Business Club had for its guest speaker the former country manager of Procter & Gamble Philippines, Johnip Cua. Since I had my MSI Wind and the Sun Broadband usb dongle, I thought to give it a try. The event was held at the Astoria Plaza Hotel in Ortigas so the signal was fairly good. I got a steady blue light on the dongle.
I was able to connect to the Livestream website but when I tried to setup a channel, I got a black screen. I thought it might have to do with the browser as I was using Google Chrome and so I downloaded Mozilla Firefox there and installed. I would guess the problem might be the speed as even downloading Firefox which initially was estimated at 2 minutes took more than 10 last night. I tried some speed tests and I got a download speed of .63mbps to Metro Manila which points to SkyBroadband and .23mbps to Texas.
I guess Sun Broadband is not yet cut out for heavy duty usage like video streaming.
