    Starting the car with the phone plugged in

    I've read here and there that you should never do this. My phone doesn't seem to be suffering any ill effects from me doing this nearly daily. Any thoughts, comments, personal experiences, etc.?

    Time for a new phone number...

    ...but now I can't find the option on virginmobileusa.com. I thought I had seen a link on VM's website a while back to get a new number but maybe it was my imagination...? I *REALLY* do not want to spend 40 minutes tearing out what's left of my hair struggling to understand the accents of Ranji...

    Help Can I use MT on another prepaid carrier?

    The title says it all... I am just about at my wit's end with Virgin Mobile. I've had VM for 4 years and their cell service itself has always been great. But every month when I go to their website to pay my bill, or when I want to switch to a different plan, it's a royal f*#king headache...

    Victim of bad soft keys...

    As the title says, I am yet another victim of the faulty soft keys on my MT. Actually, it's only the "Back" button that I seem to have issues with. My MT is 2 months old and I've been having problems with it since Day 1. The question is should I take my chances on a replacement phone or should...

    Help SMS/MMS backup & restore

    I'm running MTDEV ICS on my Triumph and, as much as I love ICS (been running ICS since I got the MT, and also on my old Optimus V) I am really getting frustrated with the lack of camera. I am seriously considering downgrading to MTDEV CM7 until the camera issue gets resolved on CM9. Problem is...

    Root My MTDEV CM9 experience/questions

    After a year with my trusty Optimus V (my first Android phone) I gave in and purchased the MT about 2 1/2 weeks ago. For those that like the $199.99 price on virginmobileusa.com but don't want to wait for one to be shipped out, do like I did and go to Best Buy. Most places won't price match...

    Help me decide...

    I've had my OV since last October, and it's the first (and only) Android phone I've owned. Back in mid-November I rooted & installed custom ROM (BACKside IHO at the time, CM9 Quattrimus for the last few months) and I *REALLY* like the Android OS and all that it entails. I've been drooling over...

    Root How do I create/utilize (and why) sd-ext on my card???

    Well, the title says it all LOL I have been rooted & customized since last November but this is the one thing I haven't done. Can anyone tell me how to go about accomplishing this? Also, not just the how but the WHY of it would be appreciated. Here's the basic info on my phone: VM670 (obviously...

    Root Optimus V Charging Issue: Won't turn off

    I know this is an issue that has been brought up here before (http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/413363-backside-iho-rom-charging-issue.html) but since it's been a few months I was wondering if there have been any updates. I prefer to turn my Optimus V off when I charge it, and...

    Root Cannot Boot Into Recovery Mode (Optimus V)

    I've just rooted my Optimus V by following the HOW-TO guide at the top of this forum. GingerBreak went perfectly and I didn't have to wait long at all, In fact, the whole GingerBreak took about 2 1/2 minutes from start to finish, including reboot. After that, everything went fine until I reached...

    GKNByNW is here

    Hello, all! I've been browsing your forums for several days, reading and becoming more informed. The information here is great. I ran into a minor issue with my phone tonight so I thought I'd go ahead and register so that I can post my question. A little about me... By day I work as a PC...
