Virgin Mobile Phone Replacement Finally Arrived.

If you haven't heard yet from my previous blog posts I have had some difficulty with my new LG Optimus V smart phone from Virgin Mobile since the fist day that I got it. It for some reason just would not charge properly. i would plug it in at night and the next morning the battery would be completely dead. It just would not charge properly.

So as you may already know I have been going through much trouble with my new LG Optimus V cell phone from Virgin Mobile. We have been going through trial and error trying to figure out what the exact problem is. After a month of having, and paying service for, a defective cell phone they have come to the conclusion that the phone needs to be replaced.

Clearly English Isn't His First Language - Virgin Mobile Customer Support

I have been in contact with Virgin Mobile about my new cell phone recently. This is because I received a broken charger with it and they said that they would send me a replacement overnight. Well it has been about a week and this is their response.

That was their exact response. You would think that they could at least spell check their e-mails before sending them...

I just want my charger. I will be leaving on vacation soon and would really like to not have to plug my phone into my laptop every time I would like to charge it.

Bad Power Adapter - Android LG Optimus V

My new Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V Android phone has recently stopped charging. It was strange because I would plug the phone with the provided USB cable into the provided wall charging unit and it would start to charge. Then minutes later if you show the phone not charging but the battery widget I use said that the phone was still plugged into the wall. So I am not sure what exactly is going on.

I tried the phone on my computer and it charged just fine. So I tried using a spare wall wort usb charger that I had for an old mp3 player and it's charging just fine. The only problem now is that it takes forever to charge. This is probably because the original LG charger had an output of 5.1 volts at 700mA and my old charger just has an output of 5v at 600mA. It isn't much but when you factor in the total output wattage you are looking at a .57 difference in watts. I guess that could be enough to cause slow charging...

Anyway I am currently sending emails back and forth with someone somewhere with virgin mobile. I hope that they can send me a replacement by the end of the week because I will be going on a trip next week and I would like to have a charger that I can rely on.

New AT&T Commercial - Talk & Surf - Why AT&T is still better then Verizon!

So I saw this commercial the other day on TV. AT&T is still trying to get the majority of people to use their network along with their iPhone. Now that Verizon has support for the iPhone many, many people are moving from AT&T over to Verizon. In my opinion those people are foolish. Verizon may have better coverage then AT&T but AT&T still has better service.

Here's the commercial! Enjoy!

Verizons New iPhone Commercial

So just today I say Verizon's new iPhone Commercial. Verizon recently released the news that the Apple iPhone would be arriving on the Verizon network. Just thought that you might enjoy seeing it.

I give them credit for showing the amazing design of the iPhone in the beginning but all in all, all Verizon has is better coverage. Other then that; Verizon's Network Sucks, it's out of date and slow.
