    [Tutorial] How to enable a WiFi Hotspot on the Optimus V

    I literally laughed out loud when I read "Use at your own risk" in the title of that video. I then watched it to find out why it would possibly say that. I had never considered wifi tethering would be against the Virgin TOS, as the video comments claim. How would Virgin catch you doing...

    [Tutorial] How to enable a WiFi Hotspot on the Optimus V

    any good usb tethers? I tried both hotspot widget and quick settings, but went with quick settings because it also replaced the power control widget and flashlight. Since it launches with a long press of the seach key I cleared 6 spaces off my home screen. I noticed with both once the hotspot...

    Dimensions: Optimus V vs. Optimus S

    The TPU case I got fit pretty good, looks good too. If I was going to use it as intended I would have liked it to wrap around the face side a little more, but different brands probably will/already do. It also made the phone fit so snugly in my holster it was quite difficult to remove. After...

Theoretically fiberglass could be clear if you used the right fiber and resin combo and had some way to eliminate all the...

    Dimensions: Optimus V vs. Optimus S

    I've heard some claims that the V is a near copy of the S with menu and home buttons swapped, but on the LG web site it claims the dimensions of the v to be 4.47" (h) x 2.32" (W) x 0.52" (D) and the dimensions of the S to be 4.23" (H) x 2.28" (W) x 0.47" (D). I was just wondering if by some...
