Not quite two weeks ago I bought an LG Optimus V to replace a Samsung Intercept. After putting my head together with some very helpful people here, I got the phone rooted, and eventually got BACKside on it. All worked swimmingly up until today. I grabbed the phone to make a call and the dreaded "no service" came up.. Thinking maybe the Sprint tower I was sitting under might have gone down, I waited till I got home.. Still "no service".. Tried shutting down/removing battery, still no good. Checked wifi, it worked fine. The status bar "3G" and signal strength indicator did not show and the lock screen showed "no service".. So, having bought the phone on eBay and recieved it just under 14 days ago, I emailed the seller to take advantage of his 14 day refund or replacement policy. After applying the stock rom, and unrooting the phone, I noticed that the 3g and strength indicators were back, and guess what? the phone now works normally...
As I said the phone worked perfectly for over a week, and JUST now decided to go screwy on BACKside.
My question: Is it possible this actually is a hardware problem? ie: an intermittant radio?? If I go ahead and send the phone back the seller is gonna ask... Whats wrong with it? I need a phone that WORKS... In my
email to the seller I stated I'd prefer to get refunded so I can go buy a NEW Optimus V vs another used one..
Ideas?? anybody??
Thanks
Dave
