My trusty & bulletproof Admire running OA 2.3.20 / CM 5.0.2.8 is being put out to pasture. I performed a wipe data/factory reset from CM, no problems. However, when I look into About Phone/Status, it shows my phone number and a MPCS user name (phone# @aaak.mymetropcs.com). I'm still using the...

It came back a couple of days ago, and the "Disable Service" app can't keep it from popping up. I would assume that some other update is causing it to not go the hell away. Any help would be greatly appreciated so I don't have to jam sewing needles into my skull.

I'm enjoying owning the F6, but have occasionally gone back to the MPCS site to check out what has been dropped/added to their lineup. There is a pretty good-sized gap (in my area at least) going from the F3/F6/Huawei Vitria to the next LTE phone. Current price for the F3 or Vitria is $99...

I didn't really give it much thought, but it would sure be nice to have a custom boot sound. The F6 has no default poweron/shutdown.wav/ogg/mp3 at all, so there is nothing to change to a custom sound. I've tried creating my own and placing them in various strategic folders, without success...

I've got a new problem with my wife's F6. It seems the phone will lose its ability to stay connected to the network overnight. The only solution is to shutdown / remove / replace the battery. My F6 doesn't have this problem, both are rooted/stock and running the' I ' firmware. Anyone else have...

Well, I've activated my phone, and I've apparently broken my ability to make calls over wifi. I'm sure one of the bloat items I deleted is the culprit (I trashed all metro APK bloat that I knew I could live without). I think one of the items I got rid of was Metro Connect. Is this the...

In my quest to understand SDK/ADB and get the bootloader unlocked, it appears that the F6 is unable to utilize Fastboot within Android Platform Tools. I've successfully installed the humongous SDK program on my Linux box, but there isn't any love for Fastboot when I try running the command. If...

Got a text from MPCS this morning, 4G phones on sale for as low as $29. The F6 is $99, just what I needed to see to push me over from my 2+ year-old Admire. I wish the discount had been greater for the GSIII, it only went down from $369 to $349. I've been following the availability of root...

Looking through my backup files on my PC, I decided to share what I have saved with everyone (it seems some of them are a bit hard to come by). Either way, here's what I've got on 4shared: admire-cwm - Download - 4shared - the dealerman admire-root-windows - Download - 4shared - the dealerman...

Well, I've done it now. Upgraded to 6032 and all went well until I tried to reboot and install a new ROM. The Samsung logo appears (but not followed by the SCH-R720 logo), then the tiny CWM Android logo, and that's where it freezes. I've tried redownloading/reflashing 6032, installing...

I recently installed the non-OC Monster 5.3 ROM (recommended by SacredBloodlin, thanks again!) and I'm very happy, except now CWM hits the 'error while making a backup image'. I've got plenty of free space on my 16GB sd card, so that's not the problem. I'm hoping a simple re-flash of CWM will...

I'm running Admired Monster 4.0, and there seem to be 2 entries listed for Bluetooth. The first is listed as 2.3.4 @ 480kb, the second entry is 80kb. I'll assume the second is a patch/update? I've had ongoing connection problems with Pandora ever since installation (I rooted the phone long...

As quickly as it appeared, it is now gone. I was thinking about replacing my standard Admire and getting this phone to upgrade to 4G. What little research I've done on this site reveals no news as to why they dropped it. I'll assume the merger may have something to do with it, but who knows...
