    Help OTA Update and tethering

    I took the OTA update this morning. I am rooted on the stock ROM. So far I think I am still rooted as I am able to see SDCard0 and SDCard1 in file manager, but the OTA killed the ability to use the WiFi Tether app. Is there another app, or are there settings I need to re adjust to be able to use...

    I am thinking about switching temporarily to MetroPCS and buying an LG Optimus F3 and was wondering if the phone would be easy to unlock and bring over to Target's new BrightSpot service (yes I know, T-Mobile).

    Root Wifi Tethering after root.

    I have rooted the phone and so far it is running well. I did not overclock as every time I tried to install the overclock, it put my phone in a bootloop. My one question, has anyone gotten wifi tethering to work at all? If so, what do I need to do to even get into the settings to allow me to...

    Question: What is PDANet? Do I have to download it? Or is it part of the driver package on the phone?

    Help Is the phone borked?

    Today, my daughter plugged her OpV in to charge and first got a message with a dimmed battery screen that said something like "wait until enough charge" or something. Later the initial LG screen (just the LG logo) would blink on and off and do nothing else. I swapped batteries (we have another...

    Help Not Getting Voicemail All of a Sudden

    I recently (back in August) got a replacement EVO because the GPS did not work on my original phone. Once I got the phone set up, everything worked well with no problems. Fast forward to yesterday. I received the following text from 9016, "//ANDROID xxxxxxxxxx has sent you a Sprint Voice...

    Help Frustrating Call to CS

    I am currently on the phone to Virgin's CS line about the bad GPS on my EVO. I love this phone, except for the GPS. Every person I have talked to starts out asking what my problem with connecting to the internet is. GPS, not INTERNET...gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah The last agent told me that they are...

    Help Voicemail Pending

    I am running completely stock and I get my voicemails using the Visual Voicemail app. Today I got a vm and it actually called into my voicemail. NBD. Except after I called in for vms, I still have the vm icon in my notifications bar. Annoying! How do I get rid of it?

    Help Textra and APN Setting for MMS

    I know this is probably a dupe thread, but I need help. I recently ditched GoSMS in favor of Textra because I could no longer tolerate the bloat. Now I cannot sent MMS messages, but can still receive them. I need to know how to access the APN settings and what the actual APN settings are so I...

    Reason number 456 why I like Android better than Apple iThings

    I mistakenly clicked "update all" on the iPad, and all the updates stalled out and there is no way to cancel the downloads. GRRRRRR :mad: The iPad was a gift, and does have its utility, however I have spent the better part of two days trying to get the updates to go through.

    Apple Bluetooth keyboard

    I have an Apple branded Bluetooth keyboard and am having difficulty pairing it with my phone. I had no trouble getting it to work with my OpV, I am stymied as to why it will not work with the EVO. Anyone have any ideas?

    Help GPS issues

    Love this phone. Except for the flaky GPS. My Optimus V had zero problems getting and keeping a GPS fix, but GPS seems to be the EVO V's weakness. I am not rooted (and at this point, I am not really planning on rooting). Are there any apps, or anything I can do to get a better GPS fix with this...

    Text from VM in Spanish

    I know this is random. I received my "reminder" text from VM that my monthly payment is due, but it came through in Spanish. Called VM and they have no idea why it is happening. All my previous texts have been in English. Anyone else have this happen?

    Root Advantages and Disadvantages of rooting

    Hi everyone. This is my second Android phone, I just upgraded from the Optimus V, and ran it stock. So far I am absolutely loving the EVO V (just the fact that I don't have to uninstall half my apps because of low space has me over the moon!). I was wondering what advantages there would be to...
