Great Phone Value if Rooted

Posted: Dec 08, 2013, 11:32 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

This phone is especially easy to root with Gingerbreak, and once rooted you can use a Link2SD app to make the stingy storage allocation issue go away.

Granted, it helps to be a tinkerer because your SD card will need to be partitioned, but it's not hard to do. Once rooted you can remove some bloatware and can offload other apps to your SD card, where it belongs. I have had this phone for more than 2 years now and have no problems with it.

Phone owned for more than a year

Since shortly after getting this phone almost 2 years ago, and replacing it once for this reason, I constantly get a 'low storage space' message. It declines texts when this happens, and I find myself having to delete all but one application that I've downloaded. I am constantly deleting emails--spam and trash, just to keep the phone clear enough to function. I have had to do a factory reset on this phone probably 10 times since I've owned it for it to operate again. I can't wait to get rid of it in 2 weeks. I'm considering the LG spectrum, but if I have the same issues with it, then goodbye forever LG. I am beyond frustrated with the insufficient space on this phone. It is a daily battle to keep it functioning.
