    Gee Willickers! A Forum for my phone!

    I ordered this phone last fall from Straight Talk, just because it looked good on paper. I still use it because it works great in real life. I installed Apex Launcher and about two hundred apps, switched to ART runtime, which ate a chunk of drive space, and have not had to move any apps to SD. I...

    Help Suddenly, Dust

    All of a sudden, dust crept in under the lens of my Ascend 2. It's ignorable until I'm outside or someplace bright. Can it be blown out, and if not, how the heck do I get in there? I see three little screws out back, but I doubt that it's that easy.

    Help Gingerbread 2.3.6 Endless Sync

    My dopey Ascend 2 is always showing that it's syncing. If I turn 3G off or go into airplane mode, it stops of course, but then comes right back when I return. I've tried the usual stuff like deleting calendar settings. This happened last year; uninstalling MyYahoo cured it. That's still gone...

    Help Erase Internal User Storage

    Erase Internal User Storage is an option in the Storage Settings of my Ascend 2, running 2.3.6. It showed about 12 of 18 megs still available. Out of curiosity, not able to think of anything vital that would be there, I erased it and restarted. I hoped to see a miraculous increase in storage...

    Help SD vs Gnex Built-in 32MB

    The first of ninety-six questions about the Nexus I just got... I was led to believe that the built-in 32GB storage took the place of and did the same job as the SD card in my Optimus. But when I plug it into my PC, it forces me to make a choice: connect as Media device (MTP) or as Camera...

    Goodbye Optimus S

    I got my eensy Optimus S a little over two years ago. Familiar with PCs and almost-smart phones, the Optimus was my first dip in Android waters. It taught me a lot and its last lesson was to trade up to a Galaxy Nexus for just about nuthin. I suspect I

    Sprint SD Question

    Considering trading my eensy Optimus for a Sprint Galaxy Nexus, since they’re offering it for nothing but another two years. But I notice that the Samsung page says “Internal Memory 32GB,” and no mention of an SD card. Is that built-in 32GB just doing the same job as an SD...

    Video Format in Gingerbread

    I downgraded my Optimus S to Froyo, long irrelevant story. Then I shot a video and its format is the impossible 3gp format, which looks fine on the phone but unreadable on stuff like Win Media Player. I

    Vol-Up Answer w/ GB

    I depended on Total Call Control to press the volume-up button to answer the phone and volume-down to send it to voicemail. Then, Gingerbread comes out and that doesn’t work anymore. Also tried EZbutton to no avail. Anyone know of an answering method that works with Opti S/GB and avoids...

    Undo New Gingerbread

    I have 2.3.3 ZVH but for two reasons, I’m considering going back to 2.2.2; First, a couple apps that worked fine with Froyo don’t work at all with Gingerbread. Second, I just might want to root after all this time. According to RazzMaTazz, I have to jump through some hoops to do...

    Bigger Battery?

    I’ve tried battery saver apps, still use Juice Defender, but one thing seems universal: if I just keep the phone in my pocket, the battery lasts a very long time. But if I use it for anything -- calls, web, even playing solitaire, the battery can die in a few hours. So, surrendering to...
