    is it at all possible that restarting the phone could cause LoS?

    Re: is it at all possible that restarting the phone could cause L it happened to me stock, and the other epic we have never left stock status and it has had it as well. I just went back to stock again to see if it reduces it although I know it wont solve it since it did it before root.

    Phone says I'm roaming a lot

    my phone tells me that often as well. I have the roam guards unchecked also but it keeps telling me. it only shows in the notification bar, nothing pops up on-screen so I dont know if maybe leaving them unchecked would allow them to pop up on-screen so maybe the settings are in fact working, who...

    is it at all possible that restarting the phone could cause LoS?

    Re: is it at all possible that restarting the phone could cause L plenty more than just a "few" people have this problem. I wouldnt make a guess as to what percentage of the user base has the problem, as it is likely very small. but when you consider the number of these phones sold, even the...

    is it at all possible that restarting the phone could cause LoS?

    alright, heres the deal. me and the wife both got these phones at the same time. we both let our batteries fully charge then turned them on. my phone was rebooting itself from day one, and I was getting LoS from day two. now over 2 weeks later, her phone was showing the gps lock icon and it...

    A Penny For Your Thoughts - LG Marquee

    do you mean $30? I am on a sero plan as well and my epic touch is 40 a month while my moms phone is only 30 because it doesnt require the premium data service like my phone does, I figured the marquee wouldnt have needed that premium data since its not a 4g phone, and seeing as my epic touch has...

    update tomorrow?

    actually read about that deal over on XDA this morning about them moving his stuff. and even if the update would be out by next month, that will push me out of my 30 day window... if my next phone has problems as well, what would you guys swap to? the photon was what I was debating on getting...

    update tomorrow?

    well, when the phone was stock, the phone was rebooting itself a few times a day when using it, who knows if it was doing it when it was just sitting there unused. I also would get LOS. now its rooted and even running LoStkernel I still get LOS, just happened this morning and yesterday I had it...

    update tomorrow?

    ^ gave me a good laugh. I actually somewhat believed what they said because we talked about the galaxy note/player, this website, phonescoop, etc, and they had an android phone, etc... but apparently none of that means anything. so I will probably end up calling back tomorrow to find that it was...

    update tomorrow?

    just got off the phone with a sprint rep talking about trying to swap my phone out for another to try again. and he told me an update was going to start being pushed out tomorrow. I completely forgot that the original epic is just now finally getting gingerbread, so I forgot to ask him if he was...

    [Manual PRL Update] better voice/3g! for rooted/non-rooted phones

    Re: [Manual PRL Update] better voice/3g! for rooted/non-rooted ph Im pretty sure the PRL file would do the same for any phone on sprint since all it does it tell the phone which towers its allowed to roam on (something like that anyways, its Preferred Roaming List I think) there just may be a...

    Did a store rep install a task manager when you purchased your phone?

    Re: Did a store rep install a task manager when you purchased you when I got my EVO 4G from best buy last year they didnt install anything. I didnt either, but on my previous phones I had installed task killers and regardless what people say about them, the phones definitely ran smoother and...

    GPS not working

    My ET4G gps SUCKED straight out of the box. it would tell me to turn onto a road that was 20 miles away, that also didnt even intersect the road I was on, happened over and over. I downloaded that gpstest app and cleared then updated the agps data through that app and now it locks on within 4...

    [Manual PRL Update] better voice/3g! for rooted/non-rooted phones

    Re: [Manual PRL Update] better voice/3g! for rooted/non-rooted ph Im not even sure if you tethered your phone and downloaded torrents 24/7 that you could use that much data. so you must mean 500MB, and if thats the case I personally wouldnt worry about it but I dont work at sprint so I dont...

    sprint/ galaxy s 11

    this should be in the rooting/rom/hacks section, but go in there and watch these videos by the qbking77 (he makes it VERY easy, tells you in the beginning of the video if you need to do something first and links to the required pages, etc...

    Power save mode useless

    I used it for a couple days and wondered why I always had to re check auto sync, then realized I also always had to turn wifi and gps and all that back on as well. so now I just have power save mode only happen at 10% just in case I ever let it get that low it does something to try and get me...
