While many users rejoiced when the announcement came down that the LG Optimus S would be getting the Android Gingerbread update, it appears there are some serious issues with this push. Many users are having issues with the keyboard, SD card, and some users cannot even charge their devices anymore.

This update has been temporarily suspended while Sprint and LG continue to troubleshoot the problems some of you have reported. Please refer to this thread for issues you may be experiencing after the update. I will update that thread with new information as it becomes available. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and appreciate your patience as we work through these issues.

If you’ve already done the update, all is not lost. You have a number of options.

• The thread referenced above provides a number of solutions for many of the most common issues. For instance, if your device isn’t charging, try charging with the wall charger with the device powered off instead.
• If you’re just through dealing with this Gingerbread update and don’t have time to wait for fixes to be pushed, you can actually revert from Gingerbread to Froyo.

This post written with my own mother in mind, who is suffering from some of these issues. On that note, I’d like to thank Sprint and LG for totally screwing up this update and making me and Android look bad. The average customer isn’t going to care who is actually at fault.
