Several comments and questions...

Hey guys,
I recently picked up the LG IQ with Telus last month and while I'm trying really hard to like it, I've noticed some things that I just wanted to see if others are experiencing/know how to fix...

First off, have you guys noticed general sluggishness/lag? I notice it particularly when pulling out the keyboard, the IE browser, scrolling through photos in the camera's viewer, typing texts, or trying to access my text messages? (this is my second one and they've both had the same performance)

What update should I be at to be up-to-date?

Has anyone used the FB app? If so, does it happen to you that everyone's tiny profile pictures get saved to your pictures folder and is there a way to prevent that? (it's super annoying to have to delete some 30-odd teeny photos that get saved when you refresh your profile etc.)

Do you guys have a way of being able to tell if texts have successfully been sent? I find whether or not they have sent properly, they shown up the looking the same in my text message history thread. (this happens every now and then when I send texts when I'm out of service and expect them to send later)

If anyone is using this phone with Telus, are you able to send out MMS texts with a data block?

A review (http://www.wpcentral.com/review-lg-expo) I read mentioned "one thing to remember is that if you have the eXpo/IQ [video recorder] on silent or vibrate, you will not have audio available for your video". Is this meaning that I will not hear audio if it is on silent, or that it will not record audio if it is on silent? (I tried testing this on my own but ended up getting audio on the phone, but not when I saved the files to my laptop?)
The review also mentioned a fix to improper focusing for the camera. I don't think I saw that fix with the Tweaker program; does anyone know if that fix is available here anywhere?

Thanks to anyone who actually goes through all this!

I don't know how to do all that fancy quoting stuff, so I didn't bother. It would probably turn into a headache to read.

I would disable the MMS app, except I actually do text. If I understood it correctly, I wouldn't be able to text anymore?

I kill them manually when I think of it. I know android has an app that does it automatically. Does windows?

I didn't change anything so I assume I have the default, LGidles? What's the difference? Do you recommend something else?

How do you find the update? The only update I could find was via the LG website.

I don't actually have the tweaker installed yet, been too busy with exams =(. But I didn't mean the immediate notification (which I have on), I meant it more in terms of when youre looking at the texting history between you and another phone. In android, it will show if it has been sent or not, but I have found no feature like that for the IQ. The only way to tell is to select the message, see it in SMS view, and then you'll know it hasn't been send if the "SEND" option is still there. I'm looking to see if there's any way to check it an easier way, such as the way android has it featured?

And a damn fine tweak that is to! You probably saved me from returning this phone right away.

Hahaha mrpants, work that boring?

I tried disabling it as per these instructions (http://www.lg-expo.com/lg-expo-general-support/responding-very-slowly/msg9714/#msg9714), but I found that it stopped sending my normal texts as well. But thats not a big deal because I realise now that I do send MMS as well. Or have been lately.

Care to share your own? =) Otherwise Ill wait around for what other people recommend.

Yeah I guess I've got both LGIdles and Titanium (which everyone does by default, no?). Which do you recommend?

:S You mean the program you download onto your computer and run from there, or an actual app to run from the cellphone? I only found the former.
..then what was the POS I updated onto my cell that reformatted everything haha?

And I put the tweaker on last night and am enjoying it so far =) thanks!

eh.. I find Titanium is one fugly POS. With the performance boosts though, I find now LGIdles bearable.

Apparently.. It's at version v10c. Is that about right?
Though I feel like it was v10c before... maybe I'm reading this wrong haha

Well, there's no tweak that explicitly says disable LGIdles messaging app, but by that I assume you meaning turning on threaded msg? Yeah, I did. But I suppose because I'm still using LGIdles I still have the bubbles and in order to get to the threaded version, I have to go into the bubbles and click more "SMS view". Using start menu gives me the same result.
I gotta mention though, the immediate message sent pop-up notification is now gone? :S
