    Root [Virgin Mobile] A fix for Bluetooth?

    Hi guys. I am planning on jumping ship tomorrow and switching to AT&T. I am getting the LG G2. Mainly because Sprints/Virgin Mobiles coverage is so pathetic up here. My problem is, my Bluetooth on my Victory does not work. It did work a month or two ago, but a few weekends ago I wanted to...

    Sprint/VM 4G Rollout.

    I have been watching the 4G rollout in my area, and it's slowly expanding. But, I have yet to get it at my home, it's half a block away, and there is a spot on Lake Superior that has 4G. See the black circle in the map :rolleyes: Map courtesy of http://s4gru.com/

    Root [Virgin Mobile] Clear Battery Stats

    I just got the after market battery I ordered on Ebay. The listing says it's 3180 mAh, but when it came it says 3380 mAh. Bonus? Who knows. My question is should I clear battery stats and if I should, how could I do this. I know using CWM on my Triumph, you could do it in recovery, but I now use...

    Sprint HTC users are getting the update today, S3 and S4 users will get it very soon. Will the VM Victory get it at some point? Maybe someone can shed some light on this.

    Root [Virgin Mobile] My results may help you.

    For about the past month or so, I have been getting random crashes/freezes/reboots. This happened at random times, sometimes while playing a game or in the middle of a phone call. I was running Victorious and VaeVictus. I finally said screw it, and flashed G60's stock backup. Thinking that ROM...

    More info in your status bar.

    I have mentioned that I would like a working indicator similar to a hard drive light so you could see if my phone is working or if it's froze. I found this app that shows a text overlay in the status bar area and can display just about any info you would like. I use it to display the CPU % and...

    Interactive 4G rollout map.

    I did a little research and found this website which shows current data deployment. I knew that they were planning on rolling out 4G in our area, but never have seen my phone switch to 4G while out and about. So, with this info in hand, I checked my phone while driving the wife to work and we...

    Root [Virgin Mobile] Help for a guy creating Boot/Shutdown animations

    Being on disability gives me free time to tinker with silly things. I am trying to teach myself how to make Boot/Shutdown qmg's. I have built a very rudimentary shutdown animation using the Samsung Theme Designer. The problem I am running into is I want the animation to repeat and whatever I...

    Root [Virgin Mobile] VM's $5 Survey.

    I filled out the VM survey about a month ago with the promise of $5 credit on my account. After a week or so and no credit I just figured I got scammed. Low and behold I got a $5 credit on my account today. This day and age, $5 is $5. If you did the survey, be patient, your credit will come...

    Root [Virgin Mobile] Just wondering if my phone is running the new update?

    My phone was running great up until I tried to flash Victorious 0.3.1. then things went south. I started getting random fade to black screen, then after a minute or so, the phone would restart. This seemed to happen mainly after installing a new app. I also lost Google Search at the same time (I...

    Use one screen on your Victory.

    Since you own a Victory, you don't have a ton of space to install apps unless you use an app like Link2SD, so you probably don't need a bunch of extra screens. I personally don't like searching through multiple screens to find the app I want. So, I deleted all the screens I am not using and just...

    Root [Virgin Mobile] Google search quit working.

    It was working a few days ago, but since I started having trouble flashing Victorious 3.1 it hasn't. Voice search is not disabled and it shows 0 for all the storage data (see screenshot). I cannot update or install from the market because it says it's already installed. Persistent search bar...

    Root [Virgin Mobile] Not sure if it's the kernel or update.

    I am running Victorious 0.2.2 and have updated the firmware with update2.zip. Since I installed the update, I cannot receive MMS (images only, the text comes through), this is not news to anyone, but I have also had two instances where the phone was acting like the CPU was at %100 and it was...

    What format do you use for music?

    I use Ogg Vorbis and encode all my music at 64kbs for my Victory. The sound quality is comparable to 128-192 kbs mp3 and uses a minimal amount of storage space (about 1-2 Mb per song). I use Goldwave to convert my music and JetAudio as my media player. Not sure, but Audacity might work to...

    Transfer Unbox Videos

    I notice that when I plug my SGV, one of the options is "Transfer video files to this device" using Amazon Unbox Video. 1. Does this work and 2. does it eat storage space? I doubt it would compress the file, but curious if anyone has tried it. I currently have season 1 of The Walking Dead on my...

I rooted it last week with every intention of flashing the first ROM a Dev threw at us, but I am really liking the phone the way it is.

    First, I want to say thanks you to all the DEVs working on every ROM in the All Things Root thread. I am NOT taking a shot at anyone, please keep that in mind. I have been using ICS ROMs for the past 2 months. Everything would work great, at first, them slowly my phone would start to act up...

    Root Set DNS and my Triumph

    I installed Set DNS last night so I can easily change DNS servers on my Triumph and I gotta say this really made my Triumph seem more responsive (using WiFi, I have not tested with 3G yet). Dolphin Browser loads super fast and surfs faster too. I currently am using the Level 3 DNS. Curious if...

    My final message to Motorola

    With the recent developments, mainly the announcement that the Triumph wont receive an upgraded ROM, I sent my final message to Motorola. I am a small guppy in a big pond, but I know many guppies who know other guppies and I hope I can be part of Motorola's demise. I realize Virgin Mobile has a...

    Sir Richard Branson is on Crack!!!

    Just stopped by the Virgin Mobile website to make my monthly donation to the cause and (just) noticed that VM now charges $15 a month for Hotspot access. Call me crazy, but isn't data, data? We all pay for an amazing 2.6 Gigs of data per month, should it matter how we download or what downloads...

    Root WiFi question

    I always use WiFi while home (for obvious reasons) and have the same issue with every ROM. I will be using an app, lets say the Play Store, and while exploring the apps available (some can have a long list) my WiFi will disconnect, then connect, causing my search results to go back to the...
