    Recommend a tablet!

    I can easily do that. How is the galaxy tab's wifi? I had a problem where if I went into the next room with my old pandigital tablet that it would not load any webpages because of super slow internet. It would work fine if I was right next to the router, but other then that... nothing. My...

    MMS not working

    Glad it's semi-working though. Oh and that reminds me of another problem VM has that I experience from time to time. I would go a day or two without receiving texts/thought people were ignoring me and then I get bombarded with texts for a few minutes. (all the texts that should have went...

    3g speeds very bad

    Actually VirginMobile uses Sprint's towers. I think you're thinking of StraightTalk which runs off some of Verizons towers.

    Question About Removing Bloatware Apps

    Most stock apps such as Facebook, Google Maps, Gmail, etc are generally safe to remove. The reason why your Navigation app stopped working is because I do believe that Google Maps and Navigation are connected. Try clearing your Navigation's data/cache and see if it works from there. When I...

    Password protection - Just while switching on ?!

    This reply was taken from a different forum where a user had asked asked the same question and made reference to how the Windows phones asks for a password when it is first started up.

    Spam SMS containing random symbols [very strange]

    About four-five days ago I've began receiving text messages from the number "9999999999".(I'm aware it's not a real number) The texts always contain random symbols, no actual words. It's not a foreign language, it's honestly pure symbols. They had hit the 100mark as of yesterday. 100 text...

    MMS not working

    I'm currently on the phone with VM trying to resolve two issues of mine. (MMS not working and a unrelated matter) I've been on the phone with them for about 30minutes total. Been transferred to multiple departments. It's been rather hard to hear them and I was just informed that they will be...

    Sorry Sir, it's all the same in my head. :P The app I provided you does not require a cable connection. Merely wifi connectivity.

    Optimus Slider portable Wi-Fi Hotspot won't turn on

    So rooting prevents data from being reduced when you hit the 2.5gb limit? Or are you recommending that he purchases their spendy broadband2go equipment along with their ridiculous data charges which also slows down at the 2.5gb limit if you get unlimited?

    MMS not working

    I've been with VirginMobile for about 4 years or so and have ALWAYS had issues with MMS. It will sometimes work sometimes not. I've spent probably a day total talking to their reps about the issue. When I first bought my Optimus Slider MMS worked great.. For the past five days or so I can't send...

    Optimus Slider portable Wi-Fi Hotspot won't turn on

    I'm a bit buzzed right now so bare with me here.. I think I got the gist of what you're saying but With the tether app I recommended for you it should allow your phone to become a mobile wifi hotspot. If that one doesn't work for you then search for another non-root wifi tetther/hotspot app...
