First, I just want to say it's highway robbery to want to charge someone a second time to use the data they are already paying for - I mean what a rip. One of the reasons I did not hesitate to buy the S2 is because it even mentioned Wifi Hotspot in the phone's features. I figured that meant...

I have the V and would like to sell it on Ebay with its grandfathered $25 plan. Problem is, I want to keep my current phone number for the new S2 that's on its way. Is there a way I can keep my number yet sell the old phone with a new number, grandfathered on ebay? Just to clarify; as I now...

I've read some others complaining of this phenomenon but there's no specific answer. The problem is my phone will pair and connect with my Sony headunit just fine the first time. But after that, only the phone audio will automatically autoconnect, the a2dp or media audio will not...

If VM pushes an update to our Optimuses of Gingerbread, how will that affect the apps and settings I already have on my rooted phone? I don't want VM pushing this on me and forcing me to make a ton of changes just to get back to where I am now. Thoughts?

Help! I installed link2sd. I used EaseUS Partition Manager to make a 512M partition on my sd card. So now my card has two partitions. Now I boot up the phone and app2sd won't run and all the apps I had on it aren't there. How do I get app2sd to work as I can't lose all the apps that it had...

I just discovered something great! Many of the apps that App2SD could not move to my SD card, Titanium Backup did! (My phone is rooted). I find this to be a great discovery and it's helped me make a lot more room in my phone's memory.

Does anyone have an advice regarding the V's photo taking ability? All my pictures come out looking just blah. No color worth speaking of. What setting should I change? I'm not a photographer and honestly don't want to have to fiddle around too much. I just want a good default setting to be...

I rooted my V using fastbootroot and now I don't have 3G. I tried the tricks mentioned on this board and called Virgin and they restarted my acct. Still nothing. Could I have messed up my phone or are others experiencing 3G outages? Thanks!

I love Swype but it keeps freezing on me. I have the version that came with the phone and I'm not sure if there is an update or what. Does anyone have a clue? The way I've "fixed" it in the past only works for a day or so - go into Manage Applications - Swype - Clear Data. My version...

My Swype on the Optimus V keeps freezing on me after about 6 weeks of use. I can change back to the Android keyboard just fine, switch again to the Swype keyboard and it locks after a minute. Any ideas? I love Swype and I just want it to work. Thanks!

All of a sudden I realize there is no icon indicating I have voicemail. Does anyone have any ideas? It used to work, now it doesn't. Thanks!

I finally tried Juicedefender out of sheer desperation to get more battery life out of my Optimus. It works! I have it in default mode and from 5AM this AM to now, 1:30, I am still at 82% battery life - that's 8.5 hours and yes I've been using the phone off and on all day. This time...

I am getting random problems with my Optimus V and I was wondering if anyone could note apps that they know are troublesome to this phone. I have uninstalled several apps that are a week or so old (corresponding with the onset of my problems) but if anyone could confirm known bad apps that...

I swear I have never had so much trouble with a phone. Now it seems that even though I have the screen lock activated (I guess they come that way) I end up butt dialing people. I just now did a usb sync and I had a few "movies" I must have butt recorded. I have also found times when...

I have a pbxes.org account and use CSipSimple for VOIP and I've used Sipdroid also. My question is this: the call quality just isn't where I'd like it to be or think it could be. Is call quality dependent on pbxes.org and perhaps I should try another SIP provider (is there another free one?)...
