    Help not receiving texts... again.

    Ok so, short and sweet, I own the LG Optimus Showtime running 4.0.4. About a week ago I realized I haven't received any texts for a while, so I pulled the battery and received like 15 texts at once. Everything was great until today. The same thing is happening now, and a battery pull isn't...

    Difference b/w prepaid and 'no contract'?

    Really nooby question... What is the difference between T-Mobile's prepaid and no contract services? They both offer the same (individual) plans ($50, $60, & $70) except the prepaid has the exclusive $30 plan. Also, can't you purchase a phone from their 'no contract' contract phones list and use...

    Help Where's the GPS icon?...

    I saw in a Youtube review for this phone where the GPS icon should be in the app tray. When I look there, I don't see the blue triangle. Do I have to download something first? To use GPS, I have to go through the maps app. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. :P

    Switching to T-Mobile $30 plan

    I'll make this as short as possible. :P I've been on ST's $45 plan for about 2.5 years. I realized a few days ago I've been paying for unlimited talk when I never really talk at all... I hopped on the web and started searching for prepaid plans to better fit my lack of chatting. I came across...

    Apps not closing after exiting them??

    I've had my Showtime for over a month, but I just activated it yesterday. On my old Proclaim, if I was playing a game and pressed the home button, I could click the task manager app (came with the phone), and it would most likely show that game as active. If I was in a hurry, I could press the...

    Help Not receiving my gmail :/

    I don't know why, but I haven't been automatically receiving my gmail messages for a little over a month now. I have my gmail set up on my Proclaim and my old Precedent (through wifi, the phone isn't activated) and my Precedent still receives my gmail messages fine. Also, I DO receive the...

    LG Optimus Showtime or Huawei Ascend Plus?

    All I would like to know is why is the LG $50 more ($200) than the Huawei?? The LG has a bigger screen but the Huawei has a dual core processor. Both phones use Verizon towers. It seems like most if not all the specs are the same. Can any of you smart people tell me some differences I must have...

    For anyone needing another charger

    If ya'll don't want to listen to me ramble, then skip to the part marked by the '****'s to read the main point of the thread. :rolleyes: This is just a recommendation thread, not a question. :) So here's the deal, pickle. My original Proclaim (wall) charger worked fine until a connection...

    S.T. now directly supporting GS3 / More At&t data cap news

    This was just posted on Wontek within the last few days. According to some forums and news sites, it appears Straight Talk will soon be directly supporting the Galaxy S3. This is really surprising since the phone isn't that old. Although Wontek is generally correct concerning 'future phone'...

    Help Problem with internet connection and syncing??

    I don't believe there has been a thread over this problem yet.. Ever since I got my proclaim, I've noticed (this was never the case with my Precedent) that, when browsing the web, I could only load stuff when the orange and green arrow (under the "3g" in the notification bar) were lit up at the...

    Giftiz Codes :)

    Giftiz is an awesome new app about 10 days old. I could give you all whole paragraph explaining it, but it will save us both time if you search "Giftiz" and read the thread. Anyways, Giftiz is an app similar to Junowallet. It was created by one of AF's very own members. :D This thread can be...

    Any Ghost Radar Stories?

    I know this app is old, but it never gets old. :D I downloaded GR Classic a few days ago and was kinda nervous about what it might say.. :rolleyes: So it was like 2am, and I had the volume really low and was listening for it to say something. Out of nowhere, a red dot appeared right in front of...

(I'm still fairly new to android, so don't shoot me lol) Well, now i can't use the internet/ market, etc. Can I reverse what I did? :( I need help from all you...

    Attention All Straight Talkers

    As most Straight Talkers know, our choice of Androids have been the Samsung Galaxy Precedent and the LG Optimus Q.. but not for long. :) In the near future, S.T. will add two more Androids to their list: The LG Optimus 2x And the LG Optimus Black The smell of progress lingers in the...

    Gingerbread on the Precedent?

    I looked over the Precedent threads and the recommended threads that came up when I entered the title of this one, and I still couldn't find what I was looking for. :( I was wondering if anyone here knows if Straight Talk has any plans of releasing the Gingerbread system update on the Precedent...

    Hey androidforum members!

    Hey AndoidForums. :) I searched the internet for a great android question-and-answer site, and this was by far the best one! :D I joined because I'm getting my first Android smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Precedent/Prevail, in less than a month, and I knew it would be smart to go ahead and join...
