    Virgin Mobile - Triumph vs Wildfire S

    Hi everyone! I previously had a Moto Triumph, but at work I had abysmal signal. Outside of work there were no signal issues. The problem was that I had ZERO signal 80-90% of the day in the office - not good when the cell phone is where you get half your work related calls! I did my homework...

    Root Android System - NOT a 3rd party app - causing phone to hang.

    I've been monitoring my phone using Watchdog Lite ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zomut.watchdoglite ) for the past 4 days - it's showing that what is hanging the phone up is actually the Android System, NOT some app that I have installed. It's done it at least a dozen times now...

    What's the REAL scoop?

    I've googled the heck out of Simple Mobile - the only thing I can find are the complaints, but it seems that the complainers are the same people blasting all over the web to try and give SM a bad name. I'm currently with MetroPCS - but am a former T-Mobile customer. I was happy with the...

    Help LG Home app tray - any way to completely alphabetize?

    It seems that this LG Home likes to alphabetize based on categories or something similar - what I want is to have it 100% alphabetized. Any way to do this?

    Root AOSP / CM7.1 Messaging app ?

    Has anyone tried using either the AOSP or CyanogenMod messaging app on this phone? I personally don't care for the bubbled look of the stock app.

    Rediculously long boot time?

    I've yet to time it, but, my Esteem feels like it takes 3-4 minutes to boot up. Anyone else seeing anything like this? It's rooted and debloated... and yes, I've done a battery pull.

    MetroPCS blocking Speedtest.net app???

    Interesting - I've read people saying since the last update to the Speedtest.net app that they have been unable to run the app, that they receive a message saying network error or something to that effect. The first few days that I had my metro account (got it the day the Esteem was...

    Root Root methods that have been tried but failed

    Help Native screenshot?

    Apparently 2.3.4 has a native ability to take screenshots by holding power then pressing Home before the power menu comes up. Has anyone been able to make this work? Or maybe a different combination on the Esteem ?

    Drivers just in case anyone needs them again

    Just in case you zapped your internal memory, here's a copy of the drivers that pops up when you first hook up your phone. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18067054/LG%20Esteem.zip If you have trouble unzipping, use 7-Zip, which is what I used to compress.

    Post your photos shot with the Esteem

    Not the best photo subject, but considering the wide range of brightness in the frame, I think it turned out damned nice!
