    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

    Here's what's been tried so far, so nobody wastes more time on them :-) 1) Gingerbreak 1.2 APK (just sits there forever but does nothing) 2) SuperOneClick 2.1.1 (Hangs at step 6) 3) SuperOneClick 1.9.5 4) MotorolaOneClickRoot (I figured what the hell - it's 2.3.4 - appears to work, reboots...

    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!

    Accessories for the Esteem - same as the Revolution?

    I've seen mixed stories , but then again those were all before the phone was released. So now that we have the phone in hands, does anyone know if cases / extended batteries for the Revolution will fit the Esteem ?

    Root Reception any better with CM7 ?

    First thing's first - I can honestly say I love this phone. I've had it for almost 2 months now and have never had a complaint... Sure, the signal doesn't always look good on the bars, but I've yet to drop a call and reception has always been good .... I thought... Two days ago I noticed that...

    Root Vanilla GB 2.3.4 from GSM carrier booting on Triumph

    Read up on it here! triumph with 2.3.4 gingerbread - xda-developers Seems that it's a GSM variant of the same phone called the Magnum HD, on a carrier called Cherry Mobile. Now if we can just get the CDMA libraries in there instead of GSM, we're golden!

    Potential cause for battery drainage

    After having gone through 3 full charges yesterday, I looked at what was using the most battery - the DISPLAY... He's the gotcha - I barely touched the phone the entire day - the screen was lit maybe a GRAND TOTAL of 5 minutes. What WAS heavy yesterday was email traffic. I had my phone set to...

    I've had no data connection all day so far in Melbourne, FL - 1x or 4g. Anyone else seeing this problem or is it an issue with my Indulge ? I've restarted the phone, tried the Airplane Mode trick, still nothing.

    Help SnoopDogggg voicemail

    Interesting - I got a voicemail that was a recording of Snoopdogggg talking about his contest... Which brings me to the one and only thing I have ever HATED about MetroPCS - no way to delete voicemail until you've listened to the whole thing! GRRRRR!

    Help Which would YOU choose ?

    I came back to Metro this past Sunday and picked up a Samsung Indulge - a little pricey, but I LOVE Android and have been spoiled by high-end performance on other carrier's phones. That have been said, I now see locally that I can pick up a fully flashed EVO in MINT condition for less money...

    HTC Sense "Audio Booster" on WinMo - any Android equivalent of this app?

    I just came back to a Nexus One after a rather stupid choice of going over to an HD2. One of the things I REALLY liked about the HD2 though was the "Audio Booster" app that they included. It's basically an equalizer that is not locked down to one particular application, but rather, it impacts...

    Silicone Skin/hard case hybrid

    I just picked two of these up on Ebay for $8.99 shipped. The only way I can describe them is a silicone skin/hard case hybrid. It's basically a silicone case with a hard cover that holds the silicone case on a bit better plus gives a little bit o' hard cover type protection. Every silicone...

    Ebay Nexus One sales - are they smoking crack?

    Are these people selling Nexus Ones on Ebay for $600+ smoking crack? Because if someone is stupid enough to buy one for that much when they can get one direct from Google with free overnight shipping for less, it's got to be crack mixed some other REALLY BAD drugs! WOW - it blows my mind...
