    Would anybody recommend this phone over the HTC Evo 3D>

    Evo is giving me problems, but not so bad I have to replace, and get shitty phone in its place. I read a lot of people are getting the Victory in place of the Evo. Just want to know if it's worth the leap. I live in NYC, so coverage isn't an issue.

    Samsung GII for VM getting JB.

    I much prefer my EVO over the G2, but I have to say I'm jealous. The only real difference between ICS and JB is the Google Now, but oh what a difference it makes. I use it on my Samsung Nexus S over my home wifi, and it's amazing the things it learns. Here's to wishful thinking.

    Data Usage - MetroPCS

    Is there any data usage that is not counted against 4G limits? I routinely go over my limit in about 10 days according to my Onavo count and the built in meter. But I usually get a warning about the 20 day mark from Metro. This is more for curiosity, as I hardly ever need the 4G connection. I...

    GPS problems

    As amazing as this phone has been, its now starting to give me problems with GPS whenever I'm using any of the native google apps. Both google maps and navigator are refusing to find a lock unless I reboot, after having only been on for a few days. I left it on and fully out in the open just...

    Google Voice Icon swapping

    I can't figure out when or why this happens, but when I restart my phone, the Google Voice Icon looks like the Android "Android", and then after a few days switches back to the original Icon. Does this mean anything? Is this happening to anyone else?

    L-O-V-E this phone!

    I just have to say this phone is amazing. I know there are better phones out there, but no where near the value. Can't believe this phone was just over $100.

    Charging issue

    So far been real happy with my EVO. But this morning woke up to an odd issue. EVO was on its charger all night, and when I pulled it off, the battery was at 28%!?!? Did a restart and also pulled the battery. Put it on the charger at work, and it still kept going down. Tried another charger...

    Using 4G

    Have to say I'm quite happy with my new Evo. Upgraded from the Moto Triumph, and while not a bad phone, just felt like it was abandoned by Moto and VM. The question I have here is, am I the only almost never using the 4G? I just find it unnecessary for everyday things like FB updates and...

    Help Anyone else not getting data?

    My EVO is showing data exchange both over 3G and 4G, but not is being read. I know data can be exchanged because any website I try to visit, I get sent back to the VM home website and can browse all over it, including logging into my account. I've done all the resets and re activated the phone...

    More problems

    So I've had the phone for 3 days and yet to have a normal day with the phone. Yesterday I had data but couldn't make a phone call. VM fixed that this morning and now I have no data. I'm starting to miss my MT, it had problems, but nothing like this.

    Already had to return mine to Radio Shack

    My top bar was not registering my touches, so I returned it. Thank God the store had received 2, I got one and the other someone attempted to buy, got it activated, but then didn't have enough on his credit card, so I was able to swap it out first thing this morning. Yay me! Now I can...

    Didn't realized how good this phone was till. . .

    Just came back from vacation in England and while there was using my Nexus S, and although it performed well, I missed my large screen MT. The only thing it did noticeably better was lock onto GPS signal faster, and the pictures taken by the Nexus are amazing. When I got home, as soon as I...

    Help Something is murdering my battery

    I recently did a refresh, and reinstalled all my apps. Besides recovering a ton of memory, another benefit seems my GPS has improved a lot. Not great, but certainly better. But now the battery dies REALLY fast. the only thing I've done differently is heavily modify my screen setting using...

    Help On Board Memory

    I added up all the apps I have on my Moto Triumph, and it totals less than 300 Megs. But it I have less than 70 megs showing available. Considering it's supposed to have 2 GB of on-board (I know 1 GB is used for the OS), it seems a little low. I already moved as much of the apps as I can to...

    Forget 2.3, I want ICS on my Triumph!

    Got ICS on my Nexus S and it is much better than FROYO. They should just skip 2.3, since it's not that much different than 2.2, and go straight to 4.0 I know Christmas is already over, but maybe because us VM users are so cool they'll get on with it :D

    Getting better?

    Is it just me? Has anyone noticed the Triumph slowly performing better? Except for the GPS, which is still slow to get a lock, seems everything else is almost flawless now. I reboot maybe once a week, but not because I have to.

    Battery Indicator - Never 100%

    Just got my Nexus S, and no matter how long I leave it on the charger, it never goes beyond 97%. I've even tried other battery app indicators, no luck. Any ideas?

    Help Had trouble locking onto GPS

    I rarely had trouble with my navigation, but one morning, I could not get a GPS signal. The navigation app had been on for at least 10 minutes and I tried rebooting the phone, still nothing. The only thing different I could remember was I had turned on my wifi earlier which I don't do very...

    2.3 Gingerbread. Should I have gotten it by now?

    I just got the Nexus One about a week ago. Been using it on TMobile w/out data plan, but using my home wifi. It seems by now 2.3 should have been installed through my wifi connection. Or can I only get it over a mobile data connection? Can I just drop my AT&T SIM in there(It has data)? Or...

    Help Gmail won't sync

    Just got an Ascend for my GF, and tried to sign in to her gmail account, and it just says, "Will link in soon" (Or something like that). It's been like this for three days and still nothing. I tried turning it on and off, and that doesn't work either. Have to do a hard reset? Any ideas?
