Every time I attempt to unlock my phone in the "Device Unlock" app I get this message. I even called MetroPCS up and they initiated the unlocking process for me, told me to restart the phone and still getting the same message and did a couple of other things with the live chat agents and none of...

I am having this issue every time I reboot my phone where it says "Android is upgrading starting apps...". I'm on 5.0.2. Could this have something to do with why I'm not receiving the 5.1.1 OTA? I factory reset my phone and it's still giving me this issue.

I am having these issues where the camera app would sometimes glitch and the manual focus feature works when it wants to. Basically if I set the focus option to manual, I have to back out of the app and then go back in it for it to actually work. When it doesn't work, the macro/infinity slider...

Look: Are they now giving a higher cap with the $50 plan? I wonder if the reason I am getting that much data is because I hardly used it since I got the phone Like I am usually on wifi and after paying month by month, the data piles up more and more, so you get more data the more you...

I followed instructions on how to root android devices without using a computer. This is suppose to work with a lot of android devices. I downloaded the Framaroot apk off of the 4Shared app from play store. It's version 1.9.1 (latest), by Nicolo' R. I was wondering if it is safe/reliable to...

I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or software issue, but I was using the front facing camera and was tapping the screen to change exposure or focus. I then switched to the rear camera and the light exposure of the rear cam got stuck where the window in my room would stay extremely bright...

I get a notification to update my L9, I download and install it, the phone reboots after the installation, and then weeks later the notification comes back telling me to update the phone, like a strange loop. It's almost as if the phone pretends to truly update, and after the installation, I go...

My phone model is MS769 Optimus L9 (metro) For some reason my phone has developed this problem that factory restoring/unrooting doesn't fix. Basically, the home button doesn't respond or work with a simple click when trying to awake the phone from being on idle/sleep. The home button has to be...

I rooted my phone with the SuperSU app installed and I factory restored my phone while I accidentally forgot to use the "full unroot" option in the SU app. The problem is, I can't get my phone back to how metropcs gave me the phone with all the bloatware apps on it, because I deleted some of...

This method is pretty easy and requires root to access the app the gentleman in the video is talking about: Video. Thanks to the author of the video! Basically it swaps the internal storage with the external storage, so when you are in settings, you'll see your internal storage have as much...

Says my phone has a strong 4g signal, but my data speeds are only 31kbps down, 296kbps up. I live in brooklyn new york. I don't know what's going on. It would usually be around 6mbps+ down, and around 2mbps up. The internet on this thing is very slow because of it.

On the very edges of the screen right where the screen actually ends on my L9, there are two bright green pixels that only appear lit with the green color only, on colored or white/bright backgrounds, but not on a black background and is more visible at certain viewing angles. I have two of...

I have multitouch testing apps on my L9. These apps allow you to see how many fingers the screen supports by showing dots whenever your finger is on the screen. Why is it that when I put more fingers on the screen, the dots by my other fingers start disappearing or flickering? Like if...

Basically I have to press the touchscreen rather than lightly touching it. Is that normal for the l9?

I heard new batteries are suppose to come with around 50% charge, when I turned mine on in the car, it was 35% charge! Not sure if that's fine or not. Anyway, should I get a battery replacement? Also, when I bought the phone, it wasn't exactly brand new sealed, besides the accessories/battery...
