    Fascinate losing time on Verizon

    Just to update, a few days after that post I stopped into a couple of Verizon Wireless stores and checked several different models and so far it is only the Enlighten and 1 other LG phone (forget which) that run about 15 seconds ahead of Verizon network time. Every Enlighten and that one other...

    Enlighten mini-review

    Well, it's been 2 months now and overall I'm still happy with this phone, such as it is. I'd still rather have the Moment's button setup but this will do for now. This phone's clock is 15 seconds fast, even after a reboot. I thought it was Verizon's network but my buddy's HTC Incredible 2 from...

    change desk icons?

    That is part of LG's custom version of Android Gingerbread. I doubt you can change it. Have you tried adding an SMS widget to your screen?

    does anybody have this phone lg enlighten?

    I've had mine since Jan 4 and it's a really good phone for being "entry level" by today's standards. It blows my previous phone away (Samsung Moment on Sprint) even though they have almost identical specs as far as processor speed, camera resolution etc. The Samsung was laggy and constantly...

    Fascinate losing time on Verizon

    I have several clocks and a watch that all synch to the US atomic clock daily, including my computer. They all stay within less than half a second of each other. For over 10 years I was on Sprint and every phone I ever had from them also was within less than a second of exact time with all my...

    Enlighten mini-review

    Since there is hardly anything in this section about the Enlighten yet, I thought I'd post my experience with the Enlighten after 2 weeks of ownership. I left Sprint after nearly 11 years due mostly to their crappy coverage and slow data. My most recent Sprint handset was the Samsung Moment...

    New Update?

    You'll probably have to take it to a Sprint service store to get it updated. As I noted in my post above I couldn't upgrade it on my own, and the Sprint tech even told me at the time that upgrading the Moment from 1.5 to 2.1 had to be done by Sprint. I no longer have the Moment and life is...

    *Samsung Moment 2.1 Rooting Video Tutorial Walkthrough*

    Is there any other way to root my Moment without using USB to the phone? There is some strange issue between my Moment and my computer. Despite having what I know are USB 2.0 ports, when I plug the Moment in XP behaves as though I connected the phone to a USB 1.1 port with the "this device can...

    *Samsung Moment 2.1 Rooting Video Tutorial Walkthrough*

    If the button combo includes the "end" button make sure "end" is the LAST button you press.

    Can the Samsung Moment accommodate a 32GB Micro SDHC flash memory card?

    According to the manual and everything I've seen online 16gb is the largest mSD card the Moment will recognize.

    New Update?

    Well, after a failed attempt to use the Samsung update software, I took it in to the Sprint service place and they updated it for me. I'm not sure why but the Moment has been giving me hell with USB connections on my desktop. I tried installing the software on my laptop and now the MBR on the...

    New Update?

    Got my Moment yesterday and it has S:M900.8.CL14 build number CUPCAKE.CL14. When I try manually updating the firmware the phone says it's up to date, as well as when I try updating Android, it says "Your system is up to date."

    Moment USB problem

    This is an odd problem: When I connect my brand new Moment to my computer running Windows XP Pro via the included USB cable, Windows throws up the "this device can perform faster..." warning, trying to tell me I need to use a USB 2.0 connection...which is exactly what my computer has. Numerous...

    Moment No Longer Avalible

    The Sprint store near me in Irving, TX still had a few but I went to a Radio Shack in Dallas for mine, since they gave me the $100 instant rebate instead of the Sprint store's mail-in crap.
