    Complaints/grievances about S5 from former S3 owner

    To be completely honest with you all, I received this phone as a gift, and that is the only reason why I am using it now. There are obvious advantages to the S5 (like the significantly better battery life, camera, and resistance to water damage to a name a few), but nothing about it wows me or...

    Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] Multiscreen on JB 4.1.2 OTA update?

    This question seems to keep getting ignored on the messy disorganized JB 4.1.2 OTA thread so I want to flat out address it right here: Has multiscreen been added with the new OTA update? If not, then are there any other significant/noticeable/major changes or improvements? I have not...

    Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] SG3 default keyboard is horrible..possible to get Esteem or Connect keyboard onto phone?

    My cousin and I both agree that the default keyboard that Samsung loaded onto the SG3 is horrible compared to the ones that LG had on the Esteem and Connect 4G. Is it possible to install & use those LG keyboards on this phone with root? Or will they not work since they're from an older version...

    Help Delay getting into dialpad when in phone call?

    Anyone having delays when they are in the middle of a call and need to use dialpad for an automated prompt? The first Esteem I had was smooth as hell and I never had any delays going in and out of the dialpad when on a call, but the replacement I got after first one was stolen seems to be...

    My Esteem was stolen yesterday

    I really regret having never installed a tracking app on my phone cause I could have located the phone within a few minutes of it being stolen since the thief left my phone on for quite a while before they finally shut it off. I was carrying a bunch of stuff and my pockets were full, and...

    Dialing a person by their name instead of number

    Many of you probably already know this, but if you want to call one of your contacts from the dial pad screen and don't have a speed dial saved for them, you can just punch in the first 3 - 4 letters of their name on the keypad and their name will pop up above the keypad...then you just press...

    Help BAD bug found involving ringtones/wallpapers & external sdcard

    On my phone (pretty sure this happens on all Esteems), I created a media/audio/ringtones folder (or just a /Ringtones folder) on my EXTERNAL sd card and then placed my sound files in there to use them as ringtones. Then I went to Settings-->Phone ringtone and set one of those sound files in...

    Root Installing apps on your external sdcard instead of the internal one??

    Is it possible to do this on the Esteem after rooting? Cause right now, if you install a game for example, and it makes you do a large download of a bunch of data the first time you run it (the higher quality HD/Open GL games usually are like this), it places that data onto the internal SD card...

    No 2.3 Gingerbread for you??

    The Metro PCS clone of the Revolution - the LG Esteem - came out about two weeks ago and it's running on Gingerbread 2.3.4. I have the phone, and for a Metro phone it is fantastic, but I find it odd that they have not released an update for the Revolution to upgrade it to Gingerbread for you...

    How to disable 4G mode (with Any Cut & requires you to reboot)

    If you download and install Any Cut, you can access a hidden menu on the phone that lets you force 1X mode and disables 4G/LTE mode. The only problem with this method is that it is not like the simple on/off switch that Indulge users like me are used to. This method requires the phone to reboot...

    Antutu Benchmark

    Can one of you download the Antutu benchmark from the market and post your Indulge's score? I'm just curious how the Indulge's Hummingbird performs on here since the Galaxy S II seems to be one of the top phones on this test.

    Help Annoyances/gripes with the Esteem

    Got an Esteem today after playing with my cousin's, and overall I think I made a smart move upgrading from the Indulge. With the money I got for my Indulge and the rebate, I've basically paid $150 for an Esteem, which is a fair upgrade fee from the Indulge in my opinion. Display, camera...

    Help Freezing up/messages not going through?

    Cousin is interested in this phone and I've heard mumblings about the Esteem having stability issues as far as freezing/rebooting/messages not going through. My Indulge used to have random reboots but that doesn't seem to occur anymore. Can any of you confirm performance issues like these with...

    Help GPS taking forever to find your location?

    I noticed on my Indulge that when I enable GPS from the pulldown menu, it usually takes forever for it to finally triangulate my position, and apps that are waiting for the GPS location give up waiting for it. Instead of turning on GPS from the pulldown menu, I went to Settings --> Location &...

    Help Phone gets stuck in dialing mode sometimes

    Sometimes when I'm done talking to someone and end the call, the phone will get stuck in Dialing mode as if I'm still on the phone with them. It doesn't let me push the end call button or anything, and the green phone call icon stays up on the status bar. Plus the phone keeps trying to shut the...

    Help Blocking calls

    Found a great app for blocking calls on our phone called Mr Number Call Block (available in the market). It provides the option to send any phone numbers you specify straight to your voicemail when they call, or to answer and instantly hang up on them so they can't even leave you a message. It...

    Clear case

    I saw a youtube video today of an Indulge that someone put into a clear case...and couldn't help but notice how much nicer it makes the phone's exterior look. I've got a cheap flat black case on mine right now which doesn't do much for the phone other than protect it, but now I'm probably going...

    Help Disabling that screen shut off feature when you're on the phone

    I know it's supposed to be a useful feature to have the display shut off on you when you're on a call and the little sensor detects your face, but I noticed there's some lag before it brings the display back up when I move the screen away from my face so I can get the keypad back up. Wanted to...

    Help What is this ScreenCaptureService that is always running on our phones?

    I was just looking through Running services and I noticed "ScreenCaptureService" running. Anyone know what it does or what it's for? Also...is there a way to take screen caps manually without an app? I actually wanted to take a couple screenshots of some things earlier but figured I'd need an...

    Help Phone disables a bunch of things if you don't use external memory card

    This is probably common knowledge to most of you but the My Files app won't show you any files if you don't have the external SD card mounted, and the camera won't let you take pictures. Apparently they've completely blocked you from saving anything to the internal memory. If that's the case...
