My Zmax was lost/stolen late last year and I replaced it with the Alcatel. Is it 5.1.1 that makes it so damn slow? Resources meter isn't giving me any usable feedback. Running Nova launcher and just rooted to freeze the "MyMetro" spam that would launch every time I unlocked the lock screen.

1) Open Settings. 2) Scroll to the bottom and click "About Phone" to open the About Phone menu. 3) Rapidly tap the "Android Version" Menu item about 5 times. 4) A large, white letter "K" will appear against a black background. 5) Rapidly tap the "K" about 5 times and the "Android" logo will...

Playing MP3 files from my SD Card, I get intermittent pausing. It happens a few minutes after a song starts to play and if I hit the Power button for a second to display the lock screen, playback resumes. I timed when it happens, but there is no pattern. I have tried the Google player...

Since I will soon have to migrate to a GSM phone, I bought a ZTE ZMax yesterday. In-Store price was $99 and $122.xx out the door. Also upgraded to the $50 Unlimited Data plan. The ZMax is a great phone and a fantastic bargain. Highly recommend going with this device. See you on the other side!

Note: Resolved by using a Bose USB cable. If you have the same problem as I had below, try using a Bose cable or a quality USB cable. I've installed all the software, but WXP does not recognize my LG Spirit when connected via USB When installing the USB drivers, I change my phone Settings to...

This just started happening in the last week or so. I can be at home and attempt to make a call and it will disconnect on the first few rings or after a minute or two. I haven't noticed any problems away from home, but I make 95% of my calls from home so I'll have to wait and see if it's a...

Vegas, Boston and Connecticut to lose CDMA support July 1st Just read it online. I talked to a Metro rep and he said they will be giving discounts on new GSM phones, but I imagine they will be low-end phones. Also, I like my LG Spirit and don't wish to change...

Just read it online. I talked to a Metro rep and he said they will be giving discounts on new GSM phones, but I imagine they will be low-end phones. Also, I like my LG Spirit and don't wish to change my device. I was told my area, the SF Bay Area, would have CDMA support thru the end of 2015...

I was messing around trying to install a Theme and booted into Recovery Mode and got a bit lost. Rebooted my phone and now it's in its stock, factory state and all of my downloaded apps are missing as well. I have everything scheduled to be backed up on a regular basis, so what would be the...

Same specs as the LG Spirit, but runs KK 4.4 Best part is that it's free after rebates. $149.00, then an instant $100 rebate, then a $49 MIR You still have to pay taxes on the $149.00, but this looks like a great deal. Pretty much the same phone as the LG Spirit, but it has KitKat 4.4 and a...

FYI, Wirefly filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy last month (March, 2014) and has ceased operations. Too bad, as they were a great source for savings on cell phones. I bought my LG Spirit on Wirefly one year ago and Metro honored the $70 MIR, so my Spirit ended up costing me $159.00 after MIR as...

I've been having some issues with my LG Spirit the last few months with error dialogs appearing when attempting to open apps and today, the phone hung on reboot on the Metro PCS logo. I did an Unbricking/Unroot/Return to Stock and also re-rooted and the phone runs faster than a scalded dog...

I've tried holding down the Power button and the volume down button but no results. Any ideas? Thanks.

Lot's of options to tweak your settings, including what loads at Startup, clearing browser cache, old/junk files, etc.. Not only does it speed up your Startup, but it speeds up your device and overall functionality is faster and smoother. I also ran AnTuTu Benchmark and scored a 17087 which is...
