    Root any thoughts on USB OTG?

    Has anybody tried (or succeeded) in getting OTG to work with the LG Volt? First question - is it even physically possible (i.e. is the USB hardware capable of operating in host mode)? Second question - are we talking about something simple like editing build.prop, adding an app, or something...

    Root Superuser with ZV4 ROM needs update

    I've successfully downgraded my phone to ZV3, towelrooted, installed CWM recovery, flashed donjuro's ZV4 ROM, flashed boot and kernel (whew) so I believe I'm successfully rooted and on ZV4. But (you knew there was a but) the Superuser which came with the ZV4 ROM says that the binary must be...

    Root unusual problem while rooting

    I've been following the online threads for downgrading to V3, towelroot, and then burning V4. The LGFlash gave an error message "FAILED 2188 seconds", but the phone did end up in the AAT Micro 3.0 menu. I was able to reboot the phone and found it is (apparently) now a factory virgin V3 ROM...

    Help Concerns about Sprint connection optimizer

    My new Volt has asked for permission to install "Sprint Connection Optimizer". What concerns are there (privacy, security) with this utility? I don't mind/care very much about the optimization of selecting WiFi vs. 4G and saving my WiFi password (the phone already does that and most of the time...

    Lock screen Owner Info?

    I'm surprised that the LG Volt doesn't have (or at least I can't find) the built-in capability to put Owner contact information on the lock screen. I thought that was built into KitKat. Is there a menu (or hidden menu) I'm missing? As a fudge I can make my own widget and put it on the lock...

    OT - LG Volt on sale for $39.99 at Radio Shack for Black Friday

    If you're thinking about upgrading from an Optimus to a LG Volt, they're on sale for $39.99 on Black Friday (actually starting on Thanksgiving) at Radio Shack. In some ways I think the Optimus is a better phone (sturdier, more ROMs available) but $40 to get a phone with a larger screen, faster...

Radio Shack will be open on Thanksgiving from 8 am to Noon and 5 pm to midnight (at least in my area). Unfortunately the Virgin Mobile LG Volt will not...

    type of glass

    I'm curious what type of glass (or plastic) is used for the Optimus V screen. Obviously it's not Gorilla Glass, but is it glass or plastic? And does it have any particular coatings? I"m asking mainly in terms of polishing, and potentially buffing out small scratches. Obviously I don't want to...

    Integrating tablet and phone

    I'm wondering if there's an app which permits an Android Tablet to use a phone's sensors and other functions via WiFi. For example, my phone has GPS, the tablet doesn't. With this hypothetical app the tablet would be able to use the phone's GPS and could have much larger maps (and other GPS...

    Help What's stored on the SIM card?

    What is actually stored on the SIM card (the white memory card which fits inside the phone underneath the battery). My understanding is it includes your contacts, but what other information is there? Also, what does it take to get the information off of the SIM card and transfer it to another...

    Root stuck at "Downloading..." screen - have I bricked my phone?

    I've got a MetroPCS Samsung Indulge R-910 which has been rooted using the "One Click Root" method in this forum. It's stuck at the "Downloading..." screen. I think I may have accidentally put it into this mode while trying to insert the charger cord at a stoplight by hitting the wrong...

    Kies?

    Does anybody know where to download a version of Samsung's Kies program which will work with the Galaxy Indulge? Clearly it was planned at some point since it's in the Indulge menus (under USB connection) but every version of Kies which I've found says it's incompatible with the Indulge.

    Using a cassette adapter

    I found an interesting "feature" in the Samsung Indulge's audio jack. My car has a combo CD/cassette player and I've used MP3-cassette adapters in the past with various phones. This permits me to use the phone as an MP3 player in the car, and when I receive calls the audio plays through my...
