    LG K7 broken but can access via USB - want to get ALL data from internal storage

    Screen is out. USB power is out. Battery power is available only through jamming in my old LG Leon battery the right way - which has been repeatable three out of twenty times. When done so and it's on, USB file access is possible through My Computer, and I've manually grabbed everything that...

    How to change swype library?

    My old Samsung had a feature where I could in situ remove words from the library. The K7 is so ******* stupid it doesn't have this, or it's hidden deeply somewhere. (The K7 s obviously made for dumb *** kids, who have no english capacity, and will suggest net speak or just the wrong word or the...

    How to auto-update apps?

    The Leon is a weird beast. It doesn't list ALL apps installed in the apps section. Also, in App Update, it lists only about five, which are stock apps - calculator, that dork-*** ****. Youtube, Google, my text app, Eveything else - nada. So I have to manually update most of them. Is this wrong...

    The Power of power-cycyling.....

    Seems to clear whatever cache that I can't do manually, and has restored my phone to original performance. I leave my phone on 24/7, and haven't turned off my current LG Leon LTE since I got it several months ago. After a month or two, it started to get slow in general UI navigation. Functions...

    Never mind. LG has some tool for this that doesn't work with my phone. I found AirDroid, which works within IE. Kinda wonky, but it works.

    Lollipop 5.0.2 and LG Leon LTE wonderings

    Hi. I recently changed providers (from Straight Talk to MetroPCS) and had to get a new phone. Performance with the Leon is fine and all....but coming from my Samsung Epic 4G and Android 2.2, I find there are far fewer features. There isn't even a dedicated swype section. Also in that vein, I use...

    [RESOLVED...I think] SMS chronology reversed

    I backed up my stuff, flashed to Eclair (from Gingerbread), restored my stuff, and I thought all was well. Well....all my restored SMSs are in reverse order: bottom up. New texts in the same thread start top-down below the last (earliest) text. I found one instance of this...

    [SOLVED/RECTIFIED] Installed leaked 2.2, but......

    I got my phone March of '11. It had 2.1 , and I heard I could find 2.2 online. I did, installed it, found it was kind of buggy. Rather than do it manually, I'd like to auto-update to 2.3 through Sprint, but it won't. From what I've read, I can flash back to 2.1 . - do I have to back up first...
