Loaded the Ookla Speedtest app onto my Tribute. Here's what I have. I conducted these tests in Walnut, CA. That is the only spot I can get to at the moment where I could use 3G, 4G and 4G Spark. This one shows the highest speed I've gotten so far using 4G reception with VM in the LA area...

It's a really great phone for the money! I'm lucky to live in an area that has the Sprint Spark 4G. My 4G speeds are much better because of it. Should run a test later, when I can get to a spot that has the Spark. The neighborhood I live in doesn't have it... happens to be just a few miles away...

I love my newly acquired LG Tribute from Virgin Mobile. However, I want to turn off screen tapping. That is, a couple of quick taps can turn on the phone from sleep. This is different from using the knock code; I don't use that. I still prefer using a pattern as the passcode for my phone. I'd...

The Tribute also supports HD Voice calling! That only works if the caller one contacts from the phone also has the HD Voice feature on their phone. Really, this phone is turning out to be a bang for the buck IMHO. From the video reviews I've seen online, battery life seems to be great, too. One...

Anyone have one right now? I just ordered one from VM, and most of the specs look great for an $80 phone. The only thing it doesn't have over my fried banana Optimus F3 is NFC. I never used that feature, so it's not a deal killer. The only slight issue I have with the Tribute is that there's...

I got this today, Pacific time, in Walnut, CA. Best I've seen in a while through Virgin Mobile USA. Not exactly 4G speed, but it shows at least some improvement over what I got about two months ago when I moved to the Los Angeles metro area. At that time, the speeds were ten times worse...

Does the F3 automatically set the clock based on the phone's location? On previous phones, there was a setting like this that could be unchecked. I'm asking as I'll be on vacation in California in a week. It's been a LONG time since I've been there... :D :smokingsomb:

I'm posting this for my dad. His Slider got into some overheating and condensation issues. Apparently he had it too long inside his thin jacket, in a shirt pocket located above his left side. He was trying to use it while on the bus, and there was a message saying that the phone had overheated...

I play a small selection of games, from chess to first person shooter. Here are the ones I have loaded so far on my F3: Pool Billiards Pro Flow Free Bridges Glow Hockey Chess for Android by Aart J.C. Bik TETRIS Garfield's Escape Premium CSR Classics (street drag racing)* Lego Star...

IIRC, robaho left the kernel and radio updates out of his modded V6 update. Aside from the kernel and radio, am I missing anything significant? Does the stock update add any new software? Hopefully it isn't any more bloat I'd have to remove. Anyone try to go from robaho's V6 to stock...

Anyone come up with a way to disable that, other than editing the build.prop? Can the audio files be backed up, renamed or deleted? Thanks for any advice.

I'm considering rooting this phone. Just got it in the mail earlier today from amazon, but haven't even turned it on yet as I just arrived home from work. As the title states, I'm wondering which app suits most F3 users best, particularly those that are rooted using the v6 update. I also read...

I decided to clean wipe my V recently and put Harmonia 1.9 on it. Reinstalled 30 apps on it straight from Google Play, as I wanted everything to be fresh. So far, it runs fine, though I wasn't able to put some newer apps back on it. Anyway, it seems to run as well as expected, and yep, the...

A few days ago, I decided to remove some apps from my Event. I removed some system apps. I mostly removed apps that can be downloaded from Google Play, or be rid of altogether. I strongly recommend you do a full backup of your apps before removing anything! Any app that can back up system and...

This may seem like an obvious question to some, but has anyone with a rooted Event factory reset it, and re-rooted it if needed? I do seem to be coming across more error messages in the last week, and I figured that resetting it might help. I've had the phone for three months now.

Anyone else besides myself tried this for their Event? I noticed someone else using this with their Rise. Decided to give it a try in the same way as the other poster (+ a few extra tweaks), and it's improved my phone quite a bit. The tweaks I applied further improve on the general...

I am considering getting this phone, mostly because I need a new one. I permanently bricked my Rise yesterday when I factory reset it. (Forgot that I shouldn't have done that... tsk.) It was boot looping because I used the Pimp My Rom app on it, and (I suppose) absentmindedly checked too many...

I do realize the use of app killers is generally not recommended with most versions of Android from 2.2 on up. However, as I'm not rooted, and was tired of the random reboots, I decided to resurrect one I used before. I'm currently using Advanced Task Killer Pro. I used this with my older LG...

(xposted from android central) Try 'Camera ICS' from Google Play. Works for me. No rooting needed. Works exactly like the stock camera app, but with the ability to turn off the shutter sound. Comes with some great features that aren't available with the stock app. The shutter noise was one...
