Ok so i have a few issues with the phone. Obviously not rooted, not sure if they will ever find a root method for this thing. Bug 1: Locking the screen, then barely touch the screen and it unlocks itself. It does not even go to swipe to unlock. It just fully unlocks. Bug 2: Text message...

Ok so anyone know of any programs paid or free that will actually hack the volume so i can increase it in my phone. Really don't want to go the route of having to go through every MP3 and increase it via PC and then load it back up on my phone. Thanks for any and all advice,

Ok i have flashed other phone before, Esteem, Connect. I have my S3 rooted. What i am looking for is honest opinions of ROM's. I am looking for a smooth running ROM that is fully functional. I have read so far where some ROM's have problems with the camera, or 4g, or WIFI. Is there a ROM...

So i have my connect rooted, all the metro crap removed off it using TIBU. Worked great for months on end. Only thing i have recently done was updated TIBU, GOSMS, and GO Launcher, now for some reason my battery is getting to 40c, and it is dropping power with no 4g or wireless use like crazy...

Ok so after getting so sick of the esteem, took it back to metro 4 times, both mine and my girlfriends, so many problems i don't even want to start here with them. I got the connect while it was still on sale for 249. Man while it took a little to get used to the smaller screen, everything...

I a going to the Connect today...My LG Esteem will probably go to my daughter as she is dying for a cell phone and i promised her one. I just can't handle all the issues with it..i am going to do a factory reset and be done with it.

Ok so my girlfriends LG Esteem is being stupid..same problem with camera, then FB acting up, then not getting any txt messages..And now it boot loops, or just gets stuck on the Metro Screen. The only thing i did to this is root it. So i removed SD card, reformatted and placed everything back...

LG Esteem, when trying to use the stock camera i get and error of: The application Camera (process com.lge.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. The only thing that has changed besides the stock ZVD, is that it is rooted. Did a full back up on TIBU, and it has Go Launcher, and...

Ok maybe this is common, but i am on Windows7 64bit. I have removed and reinstalled the LG Drives from their website at least 3 times, on 3 different downloads and my phone is still not recognized in any mode, Internet, USB Mass Storage. The LG Updater keeps telling me to turn the phone on...

Ok so i am still messing with my ascend, well its my daughters now..The camera will randomly come on for no reason at all...camera button not pushed..Also screen will come out of the blank mode to show the locked screen, again no reason for this....Have wiped the phone bare using CWM, and did a...

Its available today, went to Metro store my buddy runs..played with it, not impressed. Yes Speed is very fast, and plenty of memory, but over all feels very cheap in the hand. Not a super Amoled Screen. Camera has a flash, and it has the forward facing camera as well. However i failed to be...

Well good luck getting an Ascend or an Optimus if you were in the market for either. The only way to get them now is with stores that still have them in stock. They are no longer available even online. Hopefully this will mean new phones coming sooner than expected...I am personally looking...

Think i may be leaving Metro to go to boost..Sorry but with Metro's release of their latest piece of crap android device. It really shows me that Metro could care less about what their customers want. Boost has shown that they are listening to their customers and are actually getting better...

Ok other than SD Speed increase, and SetCPU is there anything else besides removing all the crapware, and boot up stuff that will help the boot speed of the phone? I installed Busybox, Blade Buddy Pro(Yeah i paid for it), and VM Heap Tool which seemed to help some, but i still think it could...

OK so after hours of playing around with this darn thing i figured it out. 1. So far the only thing i found that will root it is Gingerbreak. It works great, do a google search, and download. As far as i could tell V1.1 is the only one that will work with the Ascend. 2. Then use...
