Just want to say its not been a week and I honestly miss the level of community here. AC doenst really have a SGS4G community and the most active Ive found was at xda. I know I bashed some noobs on the head here. Honestly my intentions was to keep the good people and run off the moochers. Ya know the ones that bought the phone for its ability to tether and nothing else?

But the SGS4G sub forum is a freaking mess at xda. If somebody asks a question that have been answered the typical response is use search dumbass. Then five to ten posts flaming each other for being a douchebag. My fav a dev telling somebody reading is fundamental and that had he followed the directions he would know certain things needed to be wiped. Only thing the person is using a new GUI the dev is using to flash his rom. Once you select flash zip in CWM it starts this cool GUI that honestly makes it so simple and less likely to mess up. Anyway the dev told him to read the op and follow directions and he would not have the problem. However the dev doesnt update he re-writes the op. Deletes all old information and posts the new stuff. Changelogs....same thing Instead of using code formatting and leaving the old change log posted so people will know what all has changed he changes the post to reflect the most curent version changes. There is not real way to know what he changed unless you rip a rom apart and find the changelog buried in there.

Jerry, LeslieAnn, Bob, MGR, Blarf and anybody Im missing you guys rock. Optimus V community IMO the best phone community Ive been a part of.

That sounds disasterous. I'm glad this community has a little more respect for eachother. Sounds like that xda forum needs you to straighten them up a bit

Wow I just posted thr same thing twice :embarressed:

 

[LeslieAnn]

That's XDA for you.
They expect everyone to be a dev just like them and if not, R.T.F.M. and stop being a noob. It's a great resource and there are some smart as heck people there, and there are some other good sites as well that I frequent, but I made this the home of Harmonia and Aphrodite for the exact reasons you mentioned.

It seems some phones are worse than others, as are boards. Higher end Androids are probably worse, the more geek, the worse it will likely be. Get a phone that a few women are active with.

I had to meet someone in Hawthorne Nevada a few months ago. It's a fair size town with a military base. When we couldn't find the person to meet we tried calling on our VM voice phone. No coverage. No working pay phone either. We had to pay a mini-mart clerk to use their phone.

Since then I got an OV and probably could have used the wifi at the McDonalds to make a Skype call. BTW, the person we were meeting had great reception (AT&T IIRC).

hahahahahahahahahahaha breath hahahahahahahahaha.

I think he was referencing the fact Vms service area is pretty bad unless your on a major highway or near a large Metro.

 

[LeslieAnn]

Service all depends on where you are for every carrier. I have neighborhoods where the ONLY service you can get inside homes is T-Mobile, and been in other places where the only service was Verizon and still others where it was only AT&T or Sprint. Why do you think they all sign roaming contracts,

The OP was mainly about poor VM coverage.

To refresh your memory:

Today I bought a phone through t-mobile. Gonna go with the prepaid$50 dollar plan. It has better coverage for me and No more trips without service for over 90 miles of a 150 mile trip. My biggest issue was coverage of service with Virgin. No matter what you cant force coverage if its not available and several times a month I have to travel in a area with absolutely no coverage. Sometimes its just passing through others it is spending a day there.
