    Connection Optimizer Update - Increased battery drain?

    I could be wrong, but I received an update for the connection optimizer recently and I think it is accessing location in a new way or more frequently, and thus using more battery life. After the update, I noticed that whenever I woke my screen, the gps icon would be in the status bar and that my...

    New SMS App - QKSMS

    I thought this might interest some of you guys, since I have been a little unhappy with the messaging app on this phone. Nothing crazy, I just don't like the way it does pop-up notifications. This dev is working on a new sms app that looks very promising: [Dev] Hi there! Have you met QKSMS? ...

    APK for the Quick Remote app

    Hi Guys, I have an LG Volt and from what I understand the quick remote app that comes with your phone does a lot more than the quick remote app that comes with my phone. I was wondering if someone could give me the apk so I could see if it runs on the volt. Thanks!

    Third Party IR Remote Apps?

    The Quick Remote app is ok, but I would love something that can also control my receiver. From the research I've done it sounds like this may not be possible (LG may lock down the ir sensor), but has anyone found a third party ir remote that works with our phone?

    Tips for adjusting to a larger phone?

    The biggest thing I am still getting used to with this phone is its size, which isn't even that big compared to most modern phones. However my previous phone was only 4 inches, so it is still a pretty big change. Luckily, I haven't decent-sized hands, I imagine most women have trouble using this...

    Anyone found a good case yet for this phone?

    I really want something like the incipio case I used to have for my F3. It was a soft case with a rubbery feel. I just got a tpu case for the volt, and it is ok, but has a harder plastic feel to it that I like less.

    Root [Virgin Mobile/Sprint] LS720ZV6 Update & Battery Life

    Just wanted to brag a little because I've been getting awesome battery life since I updated my phone. It's probably mostly just having a freshly installed rom, but either way I'm happy with the results: http://i.imgur.com/mnPTutu.jpg 63 hours to 15%.

    Occasionally I've noticed that pressing the power button on my phone won't bring up the phone options power menu. Rebooting the phone with an app seems to fix it, but I was curious if anyone else has experienced this problem or knows how to fix it? Thanks.

    Getting voicemail texts from Sprint 9016

    Recently, the visual voicemail app has stopped working and instead of getting a notification when I get a new voicemail, I get a weird text message from sprint 9016. Has this happened to anyone else? EDIT: discovered the problem. For some reason ninja sms makes the voicemail not work. Dumb.

    Help Charging and Aux simultaneously

    I took a roadtrip recently and I found that using the headphone jack to connect to the car's sound system and charging the phone simultaneously created some really nasty feedback on the speakers. I couldn't hear it when music was playing, but when it wasn't the noise was very bad. Has anyone...

    Root My Triumph won't charge properly.

    The last week or so my triumph hasn't been charging properly. I will plug it in and it will say it's charging but the percentage won't go up or it will say 100 percent and then drop down to 60 or something and then back up to 100. Also sometimes it stops charging altogether. I've tried using...
