    Pie update

    Just received mine OTA a few days ago. I won't say it's like buying a brand new phone, but it's close. I'm glad I waited for it this time around. I've had no app crashes so far, and using the battery saver doesn't slow down the phone as much as it did in Oreo. I might be in the minority on...

    New system update for LG Stylo 3

    My phone is on Virgin Mobile USA. This might help some of you with internal storage issues. It removed about 700-800 MB of files internally for me. I haven't experienced any issues yet. My phone is running more smoothly after the update, and appears to be using a little less memory (went from...

    LG G Stylo stuck in setup mode... then just stuck on LG boot screen after rebooting.

    I reflashed the 5.1.1 ROM. When setting up, it doesn't go beyond asking for wifi. When I try to connect via wifi, it says that the Internet doesn't work, even though I can connect to the router. I can't reach the home screen at all. I'm doing this at home. All of my PC's and other Android...

    2017 10 inch HD

    Looks like it's worth it. I do know that it's possible to install Google play, via directions from how to geek, and xda. I am considering some other tablets, but the current 10 inch seems like a great choice for the price, especially as it's a full 1080p screen, and has either a 32 or 64 GB...

    Anyone else still own this tablet?

    Bought mine last year, for around $100. Hasn't left the house, unlike my much older, rooted Samsung Galaxy tab 4 from 2014, with the 7 inch screen. As you may expect, I have a little GAS... looking at a few possible replacements. Like this one...

    Virgin Mobile USA iPhone only by 2018?

    I've been looking at several articles online. VM started the changeover on June 27. I just got a LG Stylo 3 a few weeks before this happened, so it's a total surprise to me. (Most of us have a life, ya know...) Anyway... Anyone have ideas on where I can use my phone via another carrier? It is...

    New system update downloaded today, 6-12-2017

    I haven't installed it yet. Anyone else have more info? I'm on Virgin Mobile USA.

    Virgin Mobile LS777

    This has been out a few months now. It's been a while since I've gotten a device that's so new. So far, working quite well for me. It has enough memory for the apps I want to use. I did scale back from the crazy amount of apps I was using in my previous phone, a G Stylo. This Stylo 3 is most...

    LG Stylo 3 LS777

    This model is on Virgin Mobile in the USA. Anyone else have one? I have one arriving tomorrow, replacing a 1 1/2 year old G Stylo. The G is somewhat OK still, but I think the overheating is causing it to reboot randomly. Also, because of that, the interface has slowed down a bit. So, ya...

    Anyone else own this tablet?

    I bought this as a second tablet. I was planning to make this my only tablet around, but I fixed some issues with my older Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, 7 inch. The Iconia One stays at home, while the Tab 4 is my portable unit. I recommend getting at least a good case for it, as the light plastic build...

    Root Removing apps from stock ROM

    I'm on 5.1.1, and am wondering if anyone has tried at least uninstalling the factory installed Google apps, to help increase internal storage. Does it cause the phone to malfunction, or is it safe? My usual rule is that if an app is downloadable from the Play store, then it's generally safe to...

    Root Xposed Framework + VirtualSensor for VR games/apps

    (crossposted from the LG G Stylo forum) First of all, has anyone tried using Xposed Framework for the Tribute? I have the VM version, rooted and running Monstro's latest modified ZV6 KitKat ROM. If Xposed works for you, has anyone tried using the VirtualSensor module? I received a Cynoculars...

    Root Xposed Framework + VirtualSensor for VR games/apps

    First of all, has anyone tried using Xposed Framework for the G Stylo? I have the VM version, rooted and locked down at 5.1.1. If Xposed works for you, has anyone tried using the VirtualSensor module? I received a Cynoculars VR unit as a Christmas gift. So far, I can only view videos that are...

    Any further updates for the Tribute above ZV6?

    I'm asking, as I will get my old Tribute back during Xmas break. If not, that's cool. I'll simply factory reset it, and prepare the phone to root and install Monstro's ROM. I gave mine to a relative back in January. She has moved on to an iPhone 5.

    Still worth upgrading my LG G Stylo to Marshmallow?

    I run the Virgin Mobile version. Purchased it back in January, 2016 on sale at a Best Buy store. I know several updates have been applied to the phone this year. Mine is still locked down to 5.1.1 and is rooted. I'm considering upgrading to MM... I know I'll have to drastically reduce the...

    Help Tab 4 speaker is broken

    Happened a few days ago. Headphone jack still works. Running a tab 4 rooted, with the last build of the Prism rom from xda. Also running a kernel that overclocks CPU speed to 1586. I'm guessing it could be due to age (nearly 2 years old), and the few bouts of brief overheating, but not sure. Not...

    Help Auto CX

    What on earth is that setting? Asking for my mom who has a LG Tribute on Virgin Mobile USA. Never came across that when I had that phone. My searches all pointed me to Android Auto articles. Mom doesn't drive, so I have absolutely no idea as to what the heck this is. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Root KingRoot

    Anyone else root their phones with it? It's what I ended up doing in order to achieve root. Installed TWRP after that, and nuked the stock ROM. Now running one of the AICP Marshmallow nightlies on my S3. Feels like a brand new device! Definitely won't go back to stock. All this might compel...

    Adoptable storage with 3rd gen + a few other q's.

    Looking around for a possible new phone with VM. My LG G Stylo has been flickering oddly lately. Found that this is a hardware issue, so here I am. How does adoptable storage with this phone stack up? I've noticed issues with this among phones with low internal storage that run on Marshmallow...

    Cracked glass

    Below, two photos of the damage inflicted on my Sprint S3. Didn't happen on my end. It came this way from a previous owner. For now, I've ordered a clear outer case (as I like the pebble blue finish), and a set of screen protectors from amazon. I am considering a glass replacement. Should I...

    FM Radio on US Sprint G SIII

    Any chance of this working on an unactivated phone? I'd presume that the cell radio needs to be turned on. Tried nextradio on it yesterday, but that didn't work. If it requires rooting to get it to work, I'd be cool with that. So far, phone's working really well (minus cell phone service).

    Help Quick questions

    OK, just got an old S3. Sprint version. Upgraded it all the way to Stagefright fix/KitKat 4.4.2. Not activated as I'm on Virgin Mobile USA. Not sure if it's prepaid or contract version. 1. Is it possible to activate on VM without rooting, and installing custom recovery and ROM? If not I'll use...

    Contrasty screen

    Happened to me a few minutes ago. Turned off phone for about four minutes, to see if contrast could be corrected that way. It worked, thank goodness. Anyone else notice this issue? It's the first time I've seen it. Bought my phone from a Best Buy in NYC about a month ago. Haven't gone deep in...

    Any Event users left...?

    I've turned mine back on after not even touching it for eight months. Decided to factory reset it, which unrooted my phone. It was at about 85% left on a charge. Using it mainly for streaming and playing some media, but is ready to act as a phone/notepad if my LG G Stylo croaks. Runs great. Good...
