Yes, the copper will be different. However thick the cable looks like on the outside, a cheap cable will usually contain the thinnest strands of wire possible inside, to save on manufacturing costs. You can get away with it at low amperages and short cables, but as the cable length and current...

Just curious, but what do folks here think about this guy's comments regarding build.prop tweaks? While the guide is intended for ICS, he also makes some obserations concerning Gingerbread: Series: Examining build.prop tweaks for Android ICS: A comprehensive guide ? Jeff Mixon

Fortunately, most parts intended for the Optimus Black will also work for the Marquee, so third-party accessories will be available for as long as the P970 remains popular. Too bad about the end of software updates, though (at least they gave us one last update, which fixed some bugs and...

Just tried it. I downloaded the file, clicked on it, went to ROM Manager. Told it to wipe Dalvik cache and Data. Phone went through update, rebooted. After reboot, it went to the LG startup screen with flashing icons, never progresses past this point. Did I just brick my phone? Edit...

Well, just started it up for the first time tonight (used phone, so it had a previous owner): Baseband version LS855ZV9-M6600A-SCAUTSZ-3.0.40T SW Version LS855ZV9 If I need to install an App from the market, I assume I can do so without service, over Wireless? Edit: Zerg Rush kekekekeke...

Got some advice to ask from the folks here. I had just recently purchased a Marquee a few days ago, but been busy. Was going to activate it yesterday, but was too busy. So, the fact that I haven't activated yet, am I lucky or unlucky in my timing? I'm assuming that it will not auto-update...

Quick question -- do over-the-air updates work correctly with custom ROMs installed?

Huh. I just upgraded to $40 SERO and bought a Marquee off Ebay. I imagine the moment something else gets approved for SERO-P, Marquee resale prices will nose-dive. On the bright side, since I bought my phone outright, my upgrade subsidy remains intact. On the downside, even cheap 3G-only...

I'm not too hopeful about it. Some online sources believe that LG's ICS announcement regarding the Optimus Black implies an update for the Marquee, but that sounds like wishful thinking to me -- I think LG specifically gave the Sprint phone a new, unrelated name for a reason. I might just get...

I'm up for a renewal, and have will be upgrading to $40 SERO-P. Any experiences with obtaining a Marquee from 3rd party (Best Buy, Amazon Wireless, other) for SERO activation? It's $99 on Sprint's own website, but free or near-free elsewhere. What I've heard so far, is that mail-order...
