    Root Problem with Apex launcher (solved)

    Ok, before I rooted, apex launcher was telling me that in order to add widgets from the widget section of the menu, I had to be rooted. Now that I am rooted, it won't let me add widgets from with in the menu. It tells me that if super user is available I should go in and enable root helper. I...

    Chrome & Chrome beta

    So what's the difference between Chrome that came on my phone, and Chrome Beta that you can download from the Play Store?

    Root What's the difference?

    between the two recoveries: 2nd init mod (The CWM recovery mod) and 985hPaKick 2nd init recovery? Admittedly, I haven't taken the time to read thru all 5 pages of the two threads combined, so it might just tell me in there. Am I assuming correctly that the 985.. recovery is the basic recovery...

    Help Mobile IP vs Simple IP

    OK. So since I was playing with my PRL (see this thread here) I decided to also see what would happen if I changed the setting for the Mobile IP tab in QPST. If you want a tutorial on how to do it, look here. It's for the Admire, but it can apply here. Stock, the phone comes as mobile ip. The...

    Help Left the land of 4G

    So, I live in the Dallas area and have decent 4G. I had to take a business trip to Boulder, CO. I turned my phone on after landing and the 1x symbol came up. I knew this would happen, but its still disconcerting to see it. Oh well.

    Help Turning off 4G

    So, I've tried a couple of the apps in the play store and none of them work on the Motion (least anyway, the ones that I've tried don't work). Is there a way of turning off 4G so I can save even more battery on this great battery saving phone. :D I haven't rooted my phone yet, and may not, I...

    New Motion/ICS user

    Ok, I just bought this yesterday. So far, I'm loving it. I ran into a little snag last night while trying to set my phone to bedside mode. I came from the LG Optimus M+, and I could put a clock on the home screen. I could just tap the clock and it would open the alarms. From there I could select...

    I bid you adieu

    Well Spirit owners, before I even bought the phone, I will say goodbye. I went to get it today, and my store didn't have any. I was bummed to say the least, but I consoled myself with a brand new Motion. :D I will probably be keeping tabs over here every now and then, seeing how the developing...

    Accessory Thread

    So I see that Amazon now has more cases listed. Most of 'em are gaudy (at lease in my opinion) and not what I'd put on my phone. However, there are some Skinomi cases that look interesting. I've never had one, so I have no idea how they work. Does it just protect the front and back? Is there...

    Screen Shots

    GameTheory has a thread with some of his screen shots and some links to a couple of reviews, but lets have a thread strictly for your screen shots. As soon as I have my own Spirit 4G, I will be posting here as well :D

    Google Now

    So, even though I don't have this phone, yet, I'm wondering if there is any way to be able to put Google Now on it? I understand it's a Jelly Bean app, but I'd love to have it on the Spirit 4G. I am planning on getting it in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

    Looks like Verizon is getting a version of the MS870: LG VS870 heads to FCC in Verizon flavor, could be an Escape with wireless charging

    Battery life

    So I'm intrigued by this phone. Does anyone have it yet, and have real world battery life experience? I know it was just released on the Metro website just a couple of days ago. The web site says only about 3 hours talk time, but it has a 2100 mah battery. I would think that would give it more...

    Thought about size

    Had a thought this morning. Most, if not all, the world uses metric except us here in the US. Yet, screen sizes are all in inches. The rest of the dimensions are mm. Am I only seeing the picture from the point of view from here in the US? Do those of you in Europe, the UK and other places, talk...

    Help Question about the sim card

    I'm looking at this phone and the possibility of using it on T-Mobile with their BYOD plan. Does anyone know if this takes a microsim, or a regular sim card? Or even a nano sim card?

    Help Wireless charging

    How does this work? The Nexus site says something about a charging mat. What is this all about?

    Any interest?

    I know this phone isn't the hottest piece of hardware out there (being eclipsed by the GSIII) and it doesn't have ICS (or JB) on it, but does anyone plan on getting it? I would if I hadn't gotten a phone just 4 months ago (the Optimus M+) and could convince the CFO (my wife) of the necessity of...

    Help Lost my lock screen sound

    So the other day my lock/unlock sound stopped working. The check is still in the box under the volume menu, but it just doesn't make the sound any more. I've checked the volume and everything is up full. Does any one know where the lock sound is stored in the file system, and what the name of...

    OM's dead

    Well, my OM's are finally dead. My wife and I had bought the OM+ and given our OM's to our oldest two children (son and daughter) as alarms, MP3 players, etc. The other day, my son told me that the touch screen doesn't respond any more. I tested it out, and sure enough, you really have to jab at...

    Root qtADB

    So, now that I've got root and CWM, I decided to give this a whirl. Each time it opens, it tells me that: "adbd cannot run as root in production builds so you can't do anything with /system/ partition. Run anyway? (press save to run QtADB and disable this message.)" then it give me the options...

    Root Easter eggs

    I was remembering that the CM7 ROM's have some Easter eggs when you tap fast on some of the info I about phone and decided to try it. I got one. The zombie art pops up when you tap several times on the Android version.

    How to view the all the screens

    Ok, so a couple of times I've accidentally gotten to where I have all the screens showing at the same time so I can easily and quickly goto a screen instead of having to scroll thru all to get to the one I want. Now I can't figure out how to do it again. Any one know how to do this?
