    Games that work on the Optimus V

    Does anyone have any good SMALL puzzle games that work on the V? Just looking for quick timekillers that don't involve heavy reflexes...i'm no good at arcade games.

    Keep track of 3G data outages here for Virgin Mobile

    My husband informed me he had perfect reception just now in NoVA, so we seem to be golden here.

    Keep track of 3G data outages here for Virgin Mobile

    Yes, my phone was slightly borked...VMU reset my plan status and data is now up but slow, although I did not speed test. Given the widespread problems, I'm considering it slightly rude to leave my phone on 3G when I have wi-fi available. Given the large number of complaints I've seen on the FB...

    Keep track of 3G data outages here for Virgin Mobile

    I got this phone new on Friday. Data worked Friday night. Worked Saturday morning. Then went out. Came back Saturday evening. Then out again. The outage on Saturday morning included the 'can only get the VM home page' symptom. My husband, who also got his phone new on Friday, was able to get at...

    9:20am Northern Virginia, still (again) down. Will only load VM's home page no matter what I type in my browser.

    Keep track of 3G data outages here for Virgin Mobile

    Service is still out in northern Virginia as of 12:30am. Admittedly I've been on wireless all day and only tested it three times, though, so I could have missed some uptime. Fortunately, I don't 'need' it until Wednesday... :P

    And the people doing the fixing are busy, you know, fixing. The VMU Socialcare people seem to be the ones actually taking care of the customer service side of the outage.

    Keep track of 3G data outages here for Virgin Mobile

    Sprint does own Virgin, so the fact that some of their CSRs (higher level) are on the Sprint domain name is to be expected.

    The problem is this isn't Virgin's fault. It's probable that the CSRs aren't as well informed as they should be.

    LG Optimus V: Won't Connect To Internet

    The rumor I heard is that they are doing physical updates to the cellphone tower hardware and it won't all be done until the end of May. Believe me, if it stays THIS bad, I'm going to be looking for another provider. But if its just spotty, I don't have high enough data needs to care.

    Keep track of 3G data outages here for Virgin Mobile

    ALMOST worked for a couple of minutes this morning in Arlington, then dead again. We must be on different towers.

    Keep track of 3G data outages here for Virgin Mobile

    Either its still completely down for me here in DC/MD/VA or I have an app issue on my phone preventing reconnect.

    Excessive Battery Drain (Even On Standby)

    I was wondering why my battery was draining ridiculously quickly without actually using the phone when the manual said it should last far longer. My partner's having the same issue with his, so I assume he has it too.

    Keep track of 3G data outages here for Virgin Mobile

    VM customer service did try to tell me it was Sprint's fault. Usually I don't believe that, but given Sprint maintains all the network hardware I decided it was quite likely. If its affecting Sprint as well, then it's definitely Sprint's fault not VM's. (And yes, I know Sprint owns VM, but I get...
