    looking at samsung Xcover Pro SM-G715U1

    hello, it was probably ten years ago when I purchased my galaxy sky from walmart. I would keep it if I could update it. since I bought a topdon topscan obd2 automotive diagnostic scan tool that connects to your phone via bluetooth, it looks like I will have to purchase another phone to use...

    can and should I upgrade or root samsung S320VL with version 6.0.1 offline and/or switch service?

    hello, I bought a galaxy sky android phone at Walmart and have been using that phone for about 10 years. I also purchased two phones like it on eBay. ultimately, I may want to upgrade all of the phones to the latest possible version Android operating system. I thought the safest approach would...

    new virgin smartphone able to tether for trucker

    If I could keep it under $300 I would be happy. it must be able to tether/hotspot and removable battery is very important too.

    is my vm670 capable of playing video from sdcard?

    hello Rukbat, the resolution for the vm670 is 480x320, so I would hope to achieve that. I have watched many videos from youtube, but they are prepared by youtube for the device. those videos play good, so I think ram is not a problem. your suggestion sounds logical. thanks hello jamoosh...

    lg optimus v freezes and slow to boot up

    I got all of the files I could download and put them on the sd card. the phone continues to work like new. now it truly is 'use and forget it (unless it rings)'. it's amazing the difference in the quality of the software and the OS of the phone. where before it didn't take long to develop...

    lg optimus v freezes and slow to boot up

    AndyOpie150, I am in the midst of grabbing all the files that I can find in the thread and I just downloaded the xionia_cwma_12518.6 and as you say in the thread 'the rar will have to be extracted'. does the file need to be extracted on the computer or is there a tool or procedure to extract...

    lg optimus v freezes and slow to boot up

    ahh, then I treat a rom + kernel just like a rom, and don't worry about the kernel. now that I have a custom recovery along with the stock rom backed up (I actually backed up the stock rom twice) I don't have anything to worry about. if something went wrong I would just run the recovery I...

    lg optimus v freezes and slow to boot up

    EarthnFire78, as long as I can avoid using the bad jack (which means I am not allowed the luxury of connecting the phone to the computer via usb). I am able to do terminal commands quite well and prefer it. using a gui, in my experiences, often results in error with no explanation why. the...
