I want to buy root explorer. Could I use PayPal as. Payment option?
 
I hope u really meant ANY STUPID question. On my Optimus V, how do I make a call with the Speaker feature, (or in the middle of a call? AND,...wait for it,....how do I go about scanning a bar code to check out merchandise?
These dang mauals and OV "starter" site presupposes a lot of learned info,..well I'm here to tell you I DON'T KNOW these things.
Heck, I don't know if it's ok to post right here. New to such websites also.

Try ANT TEK FILE EXPLORER in the ANDROID MARKET.There is a free version & a paid version(no ads).
Either version should be able to do everything ROOT EXPLORER does,including deleting system apps.
You have to change the permissions from r/o (read only) to r/w(read/write).

Would love to help but you are in the Huawei Ascend forum.

Go here. They could probably help you faster then we could.

LG Optimus V - Android Forums

Try the forums for Optimus V, probably a much better chance of getting your phone-specific questions answered than in the Huawei Ascend forum. Just look through the stickies first, than use the search options. Then, if you still can't get your questions answered, find an appropriate thread to ask in, or start a new one. If it's anything like the Ascend forums, you'll have your answer soon. And if you don't know the info they assume you already know, ask what they mean. I've noticed the only time folks seem irritated by "stupid questions" are when it's obvious that the asking person made zero attempt to locate the info (for instance, they'll post a thread How do I root my phone? right underneath a thread entitled How to root your phone), and even then they still either get an answer or are pointed the right way.

But the bar code reader is just an app in the market.

I'll start by saying... I don't know how you ended up here, this should be posted in the Optimus V forum, not the Ascend forum. But I'll try to help.

If the Optimus is anything like the Ascend in this manner, you just press "Menu" while in-call, then press "Speaker". I think you can also do it from the Dialer, not sure though.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: I see I'm a little late posting my response... That's what happens when I surf the forums at work. I try to answer, but by the time I can finish typing and submit my response, several people have already responded. LOL

Ohh thanks. Yea I was using ant tek. Changing the permissions did the trick. :)
 
So...have a stupid question. Finally.

WHY THE HELL IS MY PHONE SO SLOW?!

And why did I leave AF for so long?

Using PlayfulMod 1.1 and used Cache Cleaner from a week ago.

HALP.

It is slow because it is a Huawei Ascend. LOL. Also, because it only has a 580(?)Mhz CPU, and is already overclocked to 600 out of the box. You can flash CM7 and overclock to 748 (I think). I'm running at 710. The newer builds also have DT'sA2SD built-in which frees up TONS of internal memory, in turn, speeding up your phone even more.

You left AF for so long because you must not have been able to handle all the cool/helpful people here (especially in the Ascend forum). It's understandable, it can get a little overwhelming. Most people are not accustomed to having so many people that are willing to help for free.
 
Really thinking of CM7, but general laziness and tiredness gets in the way. I know the phone's crap but well, how about taking forever to come 'alive' when pressing a button to wake it up, calling 911 about 3 times by itself, and making some pretty strange app behavior, force closing strikes again.

The second answer hurts.

I'm sorry.. I guess I need to lay back on the sarcasm. LOL. I'll admit, I have taken it too far a few times. I was only joking though. :)
 
Thinking of flashing to CM7, to see if it takes care of my rebooting issue. If I do this, since I no longer live in my home area (I live in Metro's extended network area), will I need to send my phone back to Florida to have roaming turned back on?
 
Well I'm back,

MMS not working on cm7.2 9/13. Don't know if I can receive them but sending doesn't work. Tried to send a mssg longer than 160 characters and it just would not have it. It used to convert it on it's own. Maybe just another dumb noob question but again any help is appreciated. Also If I want to update to a newer version of cm am I going to have to back up everything and restore it again or is there an easier way. Perhaps you guys could provide some links to some more advanced threads for customization? Still a noob but I'm picking it up little by little.
 
Go into settings and check the split messages 160 or more characters option and flash the Metroff if you are on MetroPOS

How can I get rid of voicemail??? I never used it my entire life I swear lol.

I contacted Cricket about voicemail once. I wanted them to disable it, or change the option to lengthen the pickup time, since it conflicted with Voice a bit. They couldn't do a thing about it. "It's included in the package, we can't change it like that, and can't disable it."

My personal advice is DON'T. get her the lg optimus or the Samsung admire. An even better phone is the lg esteem but do NOT get her an ascend.
