    Even though they phased out the contract plans, TMobile is STILL blocking enterprise apps on prepaid

    I'm SO frustrated with this. I upgraded from the Walmart plan to the $60 2gb UL uncarrier plan thinking I would regain access to my "Good for Enterprise" app that I need for work. I called them today and NOPE. They said all the uncarrier plans count as prepaid plans and they all block...

    I can't seem to get it working and I'm not sure whether it's the VPN or my phone or Metro.

    Root Anybody else's LED notification light not working all the time on #2?

    Back when I was using the old rom, my LED light used to work perfectly all the time, now it's pretty hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've tried using the app "Light Flow" or just using handcent, but neither works consistently. Anybody else having this problem?

    Root Problem of the screen turning black after I press the on button.

    After upgrading to ZVD and #2, I'm having an annoying problem where when I press the on button, the lock screen flashes on and then turns off. The buttons stay lighted and I can feel the vibrations of the buttons as if the phone were working normally, but the screen is black. The next time I...

    Root Long press volume button changes the track?

    Is this possible on the Esteem? I know it's available on a lot of other phones. It'd be great for switching tracks while in the car or when the phone's in my pocket!

    Bump Charging and an External Charger?

    Hi, I just got one of those cheap ebay deals with 2 1700mah batteries and an external charger (the kind with the slideable +/- prongs). When I use the external charger, I think something is going wrong. The batteries seem not to last as long. They also seem to immediately jump down from 100...

    Root Best ROM for battery life?

    I'm dying over here. I've maxed out all the battery settings and it won't last a full day on 4g. What's the best ROM for battery life? I just want to go 12 hours between charges with light use! (PS I can't use the battery saving apps because I need to keep an email client running 24/7 for work).

    When I try to choose a governor, it never remembers my selection and goes back to "on demand." Anybody else having this problem? On a related note, what governor does everybody use?

    How to open flash video in a videoplayer app instead of the browser?

    Hi, I'm using Dolphin or Opera and when I go to a site with flash video (failblog, dailymotion, etc.) it opens up with the flash video embedded in the browser. I hate this because the buttons are too small to press, so I'd rather have the video open up in a 3rd party player like moboplayer. Is...

    Root Did Metro do something recently to block tethering?

    I was able to use "Wireless Tether" flawlessly, but then I exchanged my phone for a new one and now I can't get it to work at all. The phone is rooted and the app runs and everything looks fine, but no websites come through on my laptop. I tried messing with all the security features but...

    Hi all, a lot of us have discussed that frustrating problem where once the internet disconnects and connects back, the logo is white and says 4g but it's not actually connected. The internet doesn't actually connect back unless you cycle airplane mode or reboot the phone. I returned my first...

    Best settings for the video camera? VGA or 720p?

    If anybody has experiencing taking a lot of videos, which is the better mode? I've found that the framerate is terrible with the 720p, but does the increase in picture quality make up for that?
