    A way to update Android versions?

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there anyway to update the version of Android on the phone, or am I locked into the version it ships with? I'd love the latest updates, but I understand if it's not possible, particularly because there apparently still is no way to root this phone. Thanks!

    Help What does this mean - phone won't start, red LED light flashes

    I broke the screen on Virgin Mobile Supreme (also called ZTE Vital) a while ago. It worked, but because the screen was broken, I could not use it because the touch sensor didn't work. I let it sit for a few months and finally decided to take it somewhere to get a replacement screen, but now when...

    Any LG Volt ROMs available? I hate Kitkat, want to downgrade

    I am so frustrated with the changes in Kitkat and it's been several months and many things that annoy me just can't be fixed. Are there any ROMs available for LG Volt to downgrade Android? Ideally, I'd like to put Jelly Bean on my phone. Thanks!

    Help Way to connect my phone to PC for data transfer without being able to change USB settings??

    My phone (ZTE Vital/Virgin Supreme) has a broken screen and I can't really use the touchscreen at all. I want to pull all my photos off it, but I can't go into the USB settings on my phone and set it to data transfer without my touchscreen. I'm sure by default it's set to charge only. When I...

    Help How can I remove Quick Settings from the notification area?

    I don't want the Quick Settings stuff in the notification area. It crowds the screen too much and it pushes the "clear" button down so it's not in the top corner. How can I get rid of Quick Settings? I can't find a way in settings. I have a rooted LG Volt with Android 4.4.2.

    Desperate for a case that has credit card pockets!

    I am desperate to find a case for the Virgin Mobile Supreme (ZTE Vital) that has credit card pockets. Does anyone know where I can find one, or even custom order one? I want this so bad. I'll drop some good coin, as long as the credit card pockets are nice and tight and will keep all my cards...

    Way to get a "recent apps" button back for easy quitting of apps running in background?

    I just got the Virgin Mobile Supreme (also known as ZTE Supreme) and this phone has Android 4.1.2. The phone has only three hardware buttons: Back, Home and Options. My last phone had 4.0.4 and had four hardware buttons: Back, Home, Recent Apps, and Options. I am missing that button to view (and...

    Not getting calls sometimes - is this problem my phone or my provider's network?

    I have been running into an issue where I am not receiving some calls at all. I had people tell me they called me, but my phone hadn't rang and I had zero missed call notifications. So I checked it myself by calling my cell phone from a landline and it's true -- my phone doesn't ring, show an...

    Recommendations for an alternative to Swift Key X please? (No swiping!)

    Hi, so Swift Key X is amazing. The auto-correct is eerily accurate and it makes my sloppy typing very coherent. The problem is, it does not function correctly with the physical keyboard on the Kyocera Rise via Virgin Mobile and there is no way to disable the program or get it to cooperate with...

    Apps Is it safe to remove Google+ from my phone?

    Not sure if there's a master post anywhere, but I want to remove basically all pre-installed Google crap, except for Gmail. So that would include: Google+, Talk, Books, Music, Movies. Google has been integrating Google+ with everything and I do not use Google+ at all, but I want to be sure this...

    Help Horrible physical keyboard design 1) Can I remap it somehow 2) Does everyone have these issues?

    The physical keyboard on this phone is terrible. I bought this phone for the physical keyboard and I find myself relying on the virtual keyboard + SwiftKeyX because it's so bad. Problems with the QWERTY physical keyboard include: You must press the Fn button to go into Fn mode and then press...

    Root Phone rooted, but no apps appear in Superuser app list

    Hi, I am new to rooting, but I did successfully root my phone using Bin4ry's method. However, Superuser shows no apps in the list. After I rooted the phone, Superuser showed up in my app manager but when I opened it, it didn't list any apps. I tried to update or change the binary of that...

    Web browser with forward/back buttons, URL address and favorites toolbar?

    I need a web browser that works like my desktop browser (Firefox) for my tablet. Navigating the internet on my tablet is making me feel so stressed and frustrated. I can't go back. I can't go forward. I can't quickly type in a new URL address. I can't access my favorites super easily. I tried...

    Remove importance markers in Gmail

    How the hell do I get rid of these? I was able to do it on my LG Optimus V after an app update. Online, I turned the yellow importance markers on and then off and synced my phone and they went away on my phone. But I can't figure out how to do it with my LG Optimus Slider. Anyone know? All of my...

    Root Can rooting the phone change how I wake up display?

    My new phone, the Optimus Slider, requires I press the power button on the top to wake up a black screen. My previous phone, the Optimus V only required that I press any of the four hardware keys along the button of the phone. This switch is super annoying. I can't find any apps that fix this...

    Help Wake screen by pressing home button

    I had the LG Optimus V, which is a great phone, but I really wanted a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Problem is, the LG Optimus V wakes up when I press any of the button on the bottom of the phone. The Slider, however, requires I press the power key. This is going to get extremely old extremely fast...

    I have an LG Optimus V with Virgin Mobile. I plugged it in to charge while I went to sleep like always. I won't up around 7 a.m. to the sound of my phone restarting.

    App/extension specifically to edit Swype dictionary???

    I'm getting used to Swype, but sometimes it drives me effing insane. Always choosing "ghats" when I want "that's" and never remembering "that's." Always choosing "sering" when I want "seeing." I made the mistake of typing "8am" once and now everytime I want to say "can," "8am" shows up. I can't...

    How to permanently remove apps?

    I just got Virgin Mobile's LG Optimus V. Android comes pre-installed with apps called airG Chat, Poynt, SCVNGR, Twidroyd and Where. I don't want any of these apps cluttering my phone. When I go to settings > apps > manage, I can't remove the pre-installed ones and I don't see how they are at...
