Oh and the capacitive buttons would go out when they felt like it

Had mine a day before the official release, had it for about a week and a half and returned. The GPS is garbage, I can't get even decent reception unless I'm outdoors, the optimus v just works, and although I liked the size and feel of the triumph, it simply did not

Go to your triumph and click Activate. It should go ahead and set itself up and then tell you its gonna restart. Dont freak out if at first data doesnt work, it takes a couple minutes

I go to the stock camera app, I tap the menu button and i get the options to switch to video or to go to gallery, that's it. Its not activated yet but I don't think it should matter I dont see anything about using the front facing camera

Might have to try this, might save me money on my phone bill.

check it out

Unless he roots hes not going to be able to uninstall the crapware that comes preinstalled. Make sure you go into running applications and kill it, and that your not using any of their services. (If you have any WHERE widgets on the homescreen, such as the weather, kill that too) Then dont...

Check in your running applications for "WHERE". Their app and widgets massacred my battery. Without any of their widgets running and with the where app completely off Ive been able to get a solid 2 days out of the V. With it on Im lucky if I get 6 hours.

So I got the optimus V last Friday and Im noticing that every time I use the WHERE pre installed widgets or services (mainly the weather widget) my battery life is barely 6 hours. I went 2 days without charging it when I wasnt using their services. Am I crazy or is WHERE decimating my battery...
