lg optimus slider

This is about as sweet as it gets. A video walkthrough made for dummies like me n you to show us the complete root process. I did it just now. Worked like a charm. I was afraid to before because I didn't want to mess up my phone. We all have reasons for rooting. I just want to be able to...

Well, texting away and hit some key on the left that brought up some symbols, not the symbol box some other stuff. I closed the window then the keyboard froze. This is the 3rd time the phone froze so it is going back as soon as VM figures out why I can't get on the internet. Gave them an...

My phone was working fine for about 2 hours, now I cannot connect to the internet. I tried FB, google, other things to make sure it wasn't me and nothing. I can send texts but that's it. I really don't want to spend the next hour talking to VM just to be disconnected. is there some...

When I get a text message I hear a short sound. If I miss that sound is there any other indicator that will tell me there is a message? Will the sound keep going until I get it? Will there be a visual notification on my phone? (my Samsung Seek) had a flashing star. or do I have to keep...

I've seen people talk about rooting their phones. Can someone explain in a really simple method what it means, what it does, do I have to do it, how do I do it etc. So much to learn.:confused:

For some reason my screen is not going dim when not in use. I know it was yesterday when I got it but today it won't. I just called VM and she had me turn the phone off, take out the battery to reset it and then it worked. She said this is a problem for Androids but should not happen and if...

I entered some names in my contact list and it had them sorted by first name. I wanted to see how it worked sorting with last name so changed it but now it won't change back. I've powered off my phone and turned it back on and it still won't go back to first names first. Seems like I get the...

I just got my slider and while waiting for VM to port my number over I've been adding contacts. I'm a righty and have problems with my right wrist when texting on my old Samsung Seek but this keyboard is much wider so now I have an ache in my left forearm almost up at my elbow. Am I just a big...

Hi all, I gave my wife an Optimus Slider for Christmas. Before giving her the gift, I rooted it, flashed the Gelato 11-28 ROM from Team Hydro and Gingerkernal v07.1. The phone is running wonderfully, but my wife has recieved about five or six text messages that seem to be intended for...

My internal memory sucks. I've transferred everything that I can to my SD card. I even downloaded from box.com. Are new downloads supposed to go there or do I have to transfer them over?? I'm new at this and a little confused. Please help!! :) Thanks!

Just bought my Optimus Slider and it will be here Wednesday. I think I remember reading that it came with an SD card. Or do I even need one with this? (I'm a newbie to smartphones). Help please. Thanks.

A little less than a week into playing with my Optimus Slider - my first smart phone and I'm liking it. Would like to set up contact groups - so I can text four contacts at once. Any ideas on the best way to do that? Thanks, Ian

Has anyone figured out how to get the MSL codes for these yet i would like to do a PRL swap

I am so confused right now. I just bought this phone... never had an Android before. My last phone was an LG Rumor Touch... I was able to go on the internet pretty much anywhere without hassle. I have NO CLUE how to make this thing access the internet... everything I bring up, browser, email...

I have a new LG Optimus Slider. Virgin Mobile is the carrier. I've had it about a week, loving it. No problems. Today, the browser crashed immediately after opening, so, I closed it and it did it again. So, then I decided to turn it off and back on. When I did that, it flashed the little Virgin...

Hello, I just got an LG optimus slider Slider and cant seem to get my email to sync. This is the 1st smart phone I have had, so maybe some of my settings are not correct and am hoping someone can help. I do have the Juice Defender app installed. I have it set to aggressive so that it saves...

I have tried multiple times via Gmail setup - sign in to my Google account & keep getting an error message "Your user name and password do not match." I am certain & have confirmed via gmail login on my PC that I am using the correct user name & password. My daughter was able to set up her...

Have used an LG Optimus V for months with no issues. Bought a Slider which works fine except, on our home network, it connects to Wifi but will not access the internet. At the university, it connects to Wifi and allows surfing. Tried it tonight at a friend's home with Wifi, and the LG Slider...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and to smartphones in general, having just upgraded from a tracfone to the LG Optimus Slider last week. So far I've been very happy with it's performance and I've had only minor, easily fixed problems. However, I seem to be having difficulties finding information on if...

I just bought this Optimus Slider a few days ago and using it with Virgin Mobile. I just cannot get USB tether to work and have tried using both EasyTether and Faveset Klink. I connect the phone to the computer, but it the programs just cannot find the phone. I know it is connected though...

i just got the lg optimus slider, can't seem to figure out how to see how long i've been on a call, shouldn't there be a timer running while i'm on the phone, or shouldn't it at least show up in the call log? theres nothing in the settings about it either. Am i just not finding it right or do i...

Hi all, I got an Slider and my wife has a V. On the Slider, while on Wifi netflix video play is VERY slow, the audio is lagged and the picture sucks. While one my wife's V everything works perfectly. So what is going on with my slider? any ideas? I have yet to activate our phones or mod them...

Ok, so this is my first "smartphone" and I just got it last week. I rooted the phone and installed a few of the rooted apps. I can download apps from the market with no problems, but I cannot download any non-market apps, music, or anything else from any sites but the market. And yes, I have...

My new phone, the Optimus Slider, requires I press the power button on the top to wake up a black screen. My previous phone, the Optimus V only required that I press any of the four hardware keys along the button of the phone. This switch is super annoying. I can't find any apps that fix this...
