I ordered this phone last fall from Straight Talk, just because it looked good on paper. I still use it because it works great in real life. I installed Apex Launcher and about two hundred apps, switched to ART runtime, which ate a chunk of drive space, and have not had to move any apps to SD. I have not had any problems with it other than those of my own making.

It works so well, I have no need to or interest in rooting it... those days are in the past.
 
And just when I felt really comfortable with this phone, I bought another house and, because this Walmart Tracfone only works through ATnT, I landed right in the middle of one of their legendary dead spots. So I had to buy a new phone, an Alcatel onetouch Pop Nova LTE. Stupid name (s), passable phone that works everywhere, much less space, but I don't care anymore.

I miss the Access already...

This is meant to help you, the other two people that visit his subforum: DO NOT buy an Alcatel onetouch Pop Nova LTE. Phone barely worked, etc., etc. DO buy a Samsung Core Prime S820L LT. For a hundred thirty bucks through Straight Talk, it's a monster.

I might not miss that LG anymore!
