    System Update

    I received a system update today. I was hoping to see what anyone else experienced with it before I install it since I am not rooted so it is not easy to revert back. I am assuming it is to go to 4.4.4. Has anyone else installed it yet?

    Help Huge battery drain since latest update

    I got the incremental update a few days ago and now my battery is sucking dry insanely fast. I am talking about 1% every 2 minutes! GSAM is saying it is the screen, but I lowered the brightness to the absolute minimum and nothing changed. I just lost 2% writing this post!!!! Any ideas on what is...

    Any increased interest now that the price dropped?

    I just picked one of these up due to the price drop to $99. With my Connect being such a POS, I wanted something to tide me over until the new breed of Metro phones come out in my area. Now with this I can hold off enough to probably reach the 2nd generation of GSM phones. Not that I expect...

    Help Random rebooting after 4.2 update

    Ever since I updated to 4.2, I am getting random reboots a few times a day. It has only happened a couple times during active use. I usually notice it because the recent apps list is empty. It is a little annoying, but not driving me crazy. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Any New Deals Starting Next Monday for October?

    So, my daughter's phone has literally died. We were planning to upgrade her to a smartphone in October for her birthday. As of yesterday her phone is basically unusable. I am wondering if we are going to miss out on a good deal by acting today instead of waiting until Monday. I am trying to keep...

    Available from B&M stores?

    I would imagine that it is going to be available at B&M stores like Best Buy, but I have not seen it announced anywhere. I am going to be buying some other computer stuff soon and would like to buy it all at once to get interest free financing for 18 months on all of it.

    Virgin Mobile offering 4G in June

    Check the news stories on this website today to see the story. Basically they are going to use the existing Sprint WiMax network now that they are moving to LTE. The prices are better than Metro. They might be regretting those increases, especially since Virgin reaches more possible customers.

    Root Optimal SetCPU Settings

    I am thinking about installing it today and am wondering if anyone has an opinion on what the optimal settings are for balancing between battery life and performance. On my old Optimus I ended up taking it off because it would cause it to hang with any worthwhile reduction of CPU speed. Thanks...

    Possible other keyboard that doesn't drain battery

    I downloaded the SwiftKey 3 Beta and so far it has not been draining my battery like crazy. It still shows up in the battery use list, but it is only at 2%. I like it a lot more than the Gingerbread one.

    3-14-12 FYI, Metro is having data problems

    I just want to let everyone know that if they are having data problems this morning, it is probably not your phone that is the problem. It sounds like Metro is having data problems, at least in Florida. There is a thread on the Esteem forum. http://androidforums.com/lg-esteem/515504-no-4g.html

    Help Keyboard battery use

    I have had the phone for two days now. The keyboards Swiftkey and FlexT9 have both been battery hogs when they are the active keyboard. They sometimes use up to 90% of the battery. Does anyone know why this could be happening and if there is anything that can be done to fix it?

    Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0

    I am thinking about getting one of these for my 10 y.o. daughter for Christmas. Does anyone have any experience with them and have an opinion? We have Android experience (Optimus M and a SGT 10.1) so we want to stay Android. We cannot go to the Kindle Fire for her because her older sister is...

    Help No SD Card Question

    I have been looking and cannot find the answer to my question. I am considering switching to Sprint and this phone is probably my favorite given the price for features. Since this phone does not have the ability to use a SD card, does that mean that all the apps must remain in the regular...

    Viewing Networked Files (Images Specifically) on Galaxy Tab 10.1

    I asked this over on the Galaxy Tab forum, but didn't get any responses so I figured I would try here: We bought the SGT a few days ago for my wife. I had already done my homework on how to access networked locations. I have been successful using ES File Explorer and File Manager HD to view the...

    We bought the SGT last night for my wife. I had already done my homework on how to access networked locations. I have been successful using ES File Explorer to view the images and File Manager HD. I have even been able flip through them like the gallery with ES. It is a little slower than I...

    Metro Data Problems 6/28/11 (WARNING: DO NOT RESET YOUR PHONE AS IT WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING!!!)

    Is anyone else experiencing data problems today? I am in SWFL and have had problems since this morning around 7:00. I have been intermittently able to get on the Internet through the browser, but mail is not being updated, Accuweather is not updating, and I got a message that the IP address was...

    FriendCaster

    I am giving it a try over the standard FB app, but have a serious problem. It is not showing me some posts and other info as well on at least one person. I found out because that person is my wife! I can see her stuff on the standard app, the mobile site, the touch site, and the regular page...

    Root Folder: /data/dalvik-cache

    It looks like I have found a treasure of wasted memory on my phone! I had to buy Root Explorer tonight to fix a problem I had. I discovered that the /data/dalvik-cache folder is holding files for apps I no longer even have. Some are system apps I deleted with Titanium. From everything I have...

    Moving Facebook app to SD

    Does anyone have experience moving the official Facebook app to the SD card? Using Titanium, it looks possible. I have used it to move a few other apps to the card with no problem, but Facebook is more integrated to the OS than most apps with the contact syncing. I am not expecting problems, but...

    Help Bad signal killing my battery!

    My signal inside my office is awful and it drains my battery (one bar or none, but no X). I have to be accessible, so airplane mode is not an option for me. I do have a pretty constant signal, but I have a feeling that it is not connecting to enough towers and is almost constantly scanning for...

    Root Question on Root?

    LG Home Question

    A few days ago I posted about my screen going crazy (http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus-m/262351-screen-going-crazy-update.html) The Metro rep decided to go ahead and replace the phone without trying to really figure much out. I thought it was hardware since the things it was doing would tend...

    Help Screen going crazy! UPDATE

    I have had this happen a few times in the month I have had the phone, but it has started to happen daily now. The screen will just go completely crazy like something is tapping wildly. It will switch screens like a swipe, open apps, place calls, etc. The only thing I have found to (temporarily)...
