    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.

    Turning wifi on- does that turn off 3g

    I noticed when I turn on my wifi the 3g logo is replaced by the wifi symbol. Does that mean that the 3g is disabled or are they both running at the same time? Thank you

    Help Optimus Slider App Compatibility

    I just got my Optimus Slider today. I've done quite a bit to it (like the Go Launcher etc) and I'm loving it. Hardware wise, I can't complain when compared to my old HTC EVO 4G. The EVO is better on paper, but I always got a ton of lag because of the stupid Sense UI. ANYwho, while I'm...

    Help Wifi turning on by itself

    Strange problem...the wifi on my slider keeps turning on by itself. I'll notice my battery has drained, and then I see the wifi has been on. I did have the beautiful widgets wifi widget on there, but I took it off to narrow down the problem - it's still doing it. Any ideas/solutions? Thanks.

    New Optimus has Gingerbread

    So has anyone checked out the new LG Optimus Slide, and if so, did you notice that it's shipping w/Gingerbread? I've been patient, but weren't we promised Gingerbread months ago? It's a cool lil phone, just a V w/slide capability. Otherwise i think it's just like our own little V.
