    need help - being scammed or phone hacked or something

    This may not be an android specific problem, but anyways I'm really worried because I just got my latest Telus bill online, and my girlfriends phone (rooted LG Optimus One) went over on her local airtime by a small amount, which she never even comes close to and there is 41 minutes worth of...

    Help 3g cuts out while tethering - why?

    I just recently switched phones with my girlfriend, gave her my Shine plus and took her Desire that I got her for her birthday. She has used it for a couple months now, but when she complained that she still didn't like onscreen typing as much as the keyboard on her old phone, I jumped at the...

    Help unlocking Shine Plus without non Telus sim

    I bought an unlock code from www.cellunlocker.net cause I was going on a trip to Cuba and thought if I could find cheap prepaid sims there it would be nice. Turned out they didn't send the code until after I left, plus there were no sim cards for sale on the island anyways. So I still want to...

    Battery saving apps

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but since i always leave data or wifi off unless I'm actually browsing or checking my mail or using e buddy, and i leave screen brightness at its lowest unless i go in the sun, none of the battery saving apps would benefit me at all right? I can only see things like...

    Bought spare battery, charger for my shine plus in the form of optimus one

    I know i could have bought a cheaper battery online but i didn't want to deal with the shipping etc. A spare oem lg 2500mah battery at telus was $80 and a travel charger/usb cable probably 40 (I've had bad luck with aftermarket rocketfish ones). So for 199 i just bought an optimus one which has...

    Help Anyone notice loose micro usb port?

    got to play with my sisters new Vibrant today!

    My sister just got this phone for Christmas and I had to help her set it up. I'm surprised how many differences there are between this with 2.1, my LG Shine Plus with 2.1 and my friends new Desire with 2.2. These are the only 3 smart phones I have played with so I'm a newbie. I have rooted and...
