    Help Built in Weather app?

    I notice on the phone's built in Weather app the "Disable" button is greyed out. I wonder why they don't want you to be able to disable it? I'm not rooted (and don't want to), but anyone know a non-root way to disable it? It won't even show up on Greenify. thanks

    Help Lock screen up arrow and widget placement?

    I'm not sure how I get it to show, but sometimes I will get a "^" symbol at the bottom of the lock screen that lets me add widgets. I added a weather widget, but it won't let you position it. I'd like it to be under the default clock, but it forces you to put it on another "page". And then...

    Screen Resolution?

    I've been looking at YouTube reviews of the Volt. The biggest complaint is always the screen resolution. Is it bad? I currently have an LG Optimus F3 (which has a 4 inch screen) and I am perfectly content with it - to me it looks great. Is the Volt resolution at least as good as the F3...

    Voice Mate?

    Thinking about getting this phone in the next couple months. The Virgin Mobile site says it has "Voice Mate". Do they mean Google Now or do they have some knock-off bloatware on the phone that tries to emulate it? Thanks

    Help Internal Storage?

    When I install apps, then it tells me how much I have left. Can I install apps until it is completely gone without slowing down the phone? So when I use a Chrome, Facebook, etc. and it needs to cache data, does it have other space reserved for that or does it also need to use my "internal...

    Help Trying to understand Storage specs. on VM

    On VM site for the LG Volt phone it says for Memory "1 GB RAM / 8GB ROM". Now in the old days (before smart phones) ROM meant Read Only Memory. In other words, you cannot WRITE to it. So with that, I would think you couldn't install apps there (no write capability). If you look on the VM...

    Help how do you buy/activate a used phone?

    I have Virgin Mobile. So if I wanted to buy a used phone and find one that is the same model that is on the VM site - does it have to been using VM as the carrier before? Can I take the SIM card out of my F3 and put in it? Some say "Clean ESN" - what does that mean? One I saw on ebay said...

    I have the free version of Link2SD right now and my 2nd partition is FAT. The Link2SD+ wants the 2nd partition to be ext2, ext3, or ext4 in order to move data to it. Which one should I choose and what is the difference? After I format it to ext_, Windows will not longer see it right...

    Root [Virgin Mobile/Sprint] Link2SD / ES file explorer storage confusion

    I'm confused on the storage shown on Link2SD (shown below). - Is the "Internal" the part that the OS uses for itself? - Is the "SD Card" the user available space built into the phone? - Why is the "Internal" and the "SD Card" show the same space/usage? - "Ext. SD" and "SD Card 2nd Part."...

    Help VM themes?

    Are the themes that come with Virgin Mobile phones all there is - strictly a VM thing and only those will work? I don't want to install "GO..." or anything else. Just wonder if there are other theme "files" that can be downloaded and show up under the "Themes" menu to use just like the ones...

    Help Voicemail app?

    I'm on Virgin Mobile. The pre-installed voicemail app was hassling me to install an update so I did. It wants you to try some "Premium" service free for a month. So I uninstalled the update. Now it is hassling me again with a notification. If I uninstall the "Voicemail" app does that mean I...

    Android updates?

    Does Virgin Mobile ever update their current user's phones with minor releases of Android (or have they ever)? In other words, would they likely send us F3 users and update to 4.3?

    On my old phone, I used Chomp SMS app for texting because you could tweak the way it looked. On Jelly Bean, you can tweak the stock app looks and am satisfied with that. However, there is one feature Chomp had that I miss. When your text was actually sent you heard a "varoom" sound. I liked...
