I've been trying to search the forum but I fear I'm not using the correct search terms. Forgive me if this is/has been discussed. I have an unrooted Galaxy S3 on Virgin Mobile (Sprint) that received the Kit Kat 4.4.2 update yesterday. Everything worked fine post-update until I powered my...

I just upgraded to this new Galaxy S3 and I was curious to see if I could remain unrooted/stock and get hotspot/tethering capability to work. My carrier is Virgin Mobile (Sprint). Since the phone is new, I like to remain unrooted for a bit in the event I have issues. It came directly from...

Are we 100% certain regarding activating a VM phone not acquired at VM retailer? I find conflicting information. Most sources online state that as long as the phone is compatible with their service and has been released by the owner (in the case of a used phone), it can be reactivated on a...

I'm currently running an LG Optimus V on the Virgin Mobile network that is rooted with the Harmonia ROM. I'm grandfathered into Virgin's $25/mo plan (300 min., Unlimited data/text). It serves my purposes but it is only 3G and I'm beginning to run into apps that are incompatible with this old...

I did a search and most information I found was pretty old so I'm uncertain if it is still accurate. My wife and I are considering our first tablet that would be a shared device for the time being. Our needs are not great and will be used mostly when traveling. I am strongly leaning toward...

After some trial and error, I figured out that I had too many apps "moved" to SD card rather than linked via Link2SD. I don't fully have my head around the issue but I have sorted it out and freed up a bunch space. I continue to not know where the /cache/download location exists. Regardless...

Yes, and when I do I gain more free space. Here are some before and after screenshots to uninstalling WeatherBug.

Yes. I followed this set of instructions for rooting and installing a custom ROM....to the letter: Link (look at Step 9 - I believe this constitutes a full wipe?) I'm actually working with 2 Optimus V phones and both lack this /cache/download location. Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I was using a "File Manager" but switched over to ES File Explorer. Unfortunately the result is the same - I cannot find this /cache/download location anywhere and /cache on the SDcard and on the phone are empty. I'm not sure what to make of this.... I did find a bit...

Sorry to bring an old thread back up but I'm having the same issue and haven't found a clear solution yet. I was rooted on the stock ROM and just went to Harmonia 2.09. I'm also using SetCPU and Link2SD. Once app installs began to fail, I noticed (through Link2SD) that /cache/download was...

I've been lurking for a while now and have decided to take the plunge into rooting and a custom ROM. So far everything has gone well thanks to the help of this great forum and new life has been given to this unapologetically old and slow phone! I have run into one issue and its entirely...
