  • No problem. Thanks for taking the time to responding back.

  • Yes I did. I uninstalled the one I had last night. Installed your latest update and still having problems.

  • @Caitlyn2Brennan kk just tried the modded 1.2.2 and netflix got around it not checking for newer version. I will look around for another and update link under the video when I find it. thanks for letting me know about this.

  • @Caitlyn2Brennan and reading forums that even those with a custom rom are having the same issue.

  • I have uploaded netflix apk version 1.2.2 about month ago and it was working great until yesterday every video I try watching tells me its unavailable even though i have watched it previously on my phone. Has anyone been having this problem? 

  • @Caitlyn2Brennan did you get the latest link I posted under video that stops netflix from checking updates?

  • Comment removed

  • Which battery life is worse This LG Optimus Slider or HTC Wildfire S?

  • @CaillouDash battery life depends on the person using. for my self using I felt I got more from the Slider. both phones also have extended batteries that can get you a couple days but both extended batteries add thickness

  • If I watch netflix or any streaming apps on the go, how long will the battery last?

  • @lilcrazyaznboy depending on background apps, prob about little over couple hours or more. battery wouldn't be the worry if you are using 3g on video streaming. data throttle starts in march after 2.5GB. there is a 3600 battery on ebay for this phone around $15 that will get you a lot more usage.

  • @mstechify Wow, Data throttle? And I just purchased my first smart phone which is the slider. I haven't even open it up yet, and I just found out there's a limitation. Lol. Good to know there's wifi though..

  • is the phone purple from the chrome

  • i have a lg rumor touch i want to get a lg optimus slider and i pay 25 dollars a mouth do i pay the same if i change phones.....i went to the store to day and they told me if i change to lg optimus slider i will have to pay 35 dollars a mouth????

  • @MsChava310 no. don't let the store do anything. just take the phone home and swap on a computer or turn on new phone and hit activation and choose already have a number. if you call in and have customer service swap phones they charge you service fee. unless you attempted on your own first and error showed to call in. then let em know of error and they wave the fee.

  • How do yhu get Root on a virgin Mobile Phone? O.o

  • @Dianaesco123 in my list of videos I posted video how to do it. go to my channel

  • Is the second color on the keyboard red or orange?

  • @skater123985 no unexpected guest during recording messed with exposure toggle. some parts recorded like that. I don't get paid for these in anyway and my time short the day with my actual work so I posted the video with an explanation.

  • Does It have Google Navigation? please respond!

  • @josmar3421 yes and maps

  • @mstechify would you mind showing us a review of the google voice and the google navigation? I would really like to see how it works before purchasing.

  • @LaylasMommy2012 5 phone comparison I showed how quick a lock the GPS was. The navigation works same as other google navigation and if you don't like it the is other apps such as mapquest. google voice by it's self will use your minutes. there is work around for that for now

  • werid phone

  • What was the "rooting for gingerbreak" for? Do you have to do that to all androids or what?

  • @Super7thheaven says optional. only for if you want to unroot your device.

  • Did you try superoneclick root?

  • @Prence I have already posted a video for that a long time ago. did the overlay note not show up on the video?

  • @mstechify  I have annotations turned off. I didn't see it. sorry. :(

  • Oh and can this upgrade to ICS, would love to get ICS.

  • @Prence don't think the specs are enough. but for the triumph they already have a booting custom rom of ice cream sandwich. Booting. still bugs to work out.

  • Question is, is it a upgrade from the optimus v. I love my optimus v but if this is better than I might have to upgrade to it.

  • @Prence unless you want a better camera I honestly did not find enough of a difference as an upgrade. if the usable memory was more maybe but it bumps it down. could play angry birds a little better but somethigs Op v did better. if you want android 2.3.7. there are a ton of custom roms for that.

  • 7:42 "Oh gawd! There is no f-ing drummer better than Neil Pert!"

  • link below this video for Netflix mod apk use the version 1.2.2. Previously netflix blocked older version from being used. The update check is disabled in this apk.

  • Dose it work good on Netflix

  • @DnAproductions1527 nope, not even wildfire S. not till netflix app fixed to work with it. but netflix works with optimus v and triumph.

  • @DnAproductions1527 just posted new link that disable update check on app and allows version 1.2.2 to be used and helps with issues till netflix fixes and the optimus v works fine. I think it is android 2.3.4 issue

  • Does it have swipe

  • @wizard7132 sweet

  • I figured out the battery life problem. The phone's cpu is set to performance originaly which uses a lot of battery life. To fix this you need to root it and get SetCPU and set it to ondemand.

  • You should talk about how fast the internet go ???

  • @112577martin I did in the five phone comparison think was part 2. talk about internet 3g speed and benchmarks. Talking about one phone fastness is like revving your engine with nobody around. I speed tested them together. Slider was great

  • Does the internetgo fast

  • Been carrying this device for a month and so far, I'm very satisfied. :)

  • Does it have flash player

  • @WeedMan148 no but using skyfire browser you can get some flash videos converted to 3gp and can view

  • what the hell was that example text

  • @MrToiletgamer i see alot of people do that in reviews, idk why though :p

  • @MrToiletgamer LOL my making fun of others who always typing in the quick brown fox on keyboard and nothing else.

  • @mstechify The reason for always typing "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is cuz that sentence has all the letters in the alphabet to show them using all the keys on the keyboard of the phone :P

  • Do you need to pay for Netflex or it's free to watch movies?

  • @SimonCU netflix is paid for. the tv.com app is free as well as other tv app

  • Any idea on how to fix the slow charge and little battery life for this phone.

  • @wizard7132 Figure out if you can buy another battery that lasts longer

  • @V33G0 they have the extended batteries for these phones look it on ebay

  • @wizard7132 want a faster charge? shut the phone off so it is not being used. slower charge is better on the life of the battery then a rapid charge that gives a lot and then at certain time drops to a trickle. Slow and steady wins the race ;)

  • Can you customize the LED notifications without rooting the device?

  • @bamitsbob21 you can do that with out rooting

  • @mstechify How? I have Handcent SMS and it won't change to the settings I choose. It still slowly blinks green, even though I have it set to different setting

  • @bamitsbob21 you are going to have to try different apps then just one. and you can go into a test mode but make sure the screen is locked while testing or no notification light will show. have you tried light flow? all the colors in app will not be available but can control fast or slow blink.

  • Could you also make a more detailed review of this phone like you did with the wildfire?

  • Why does it have an HTC theme on the notification bar but Android buttons (on the homescreen)???? PPPLEEEAAASE HEEEEELP

  • @mstechify Tysm for the help I hope you have an awesome day

  • I had a.question it says the headphone jack is 3.5 but my headphones slide out easily so.was wondering does it need 2.5 or is that just how its made. Tysm 4 all your help love ur videos

  • @hakime666 2.5 is smaller then 3.5. the jack is 3.5 if your headphones slide out cause the headphone are 2.5 then you need an adapter or different headphones. only other beyond talk phone VM has that is a 2.5 jack is the rumor2

  • HELLO, HOW CAN I ACCESS VIDEOS ON MY SLIDER THAT I PUT ON THE SD CARD? PLEASE HELP.

  • @FC559 are they the right video format? mp4 works and 3gp. If unsure you can use a free video converter handbrake. and select ipod preset and make sure the file name is ending in mp4 not mk4.... As for just locating. open up the gallery.

  • You really give a lot of greats specs 👍👍.

  • PLEASE ANSWER:

    Do you have to have wifi to watch videos on netflix and youtube ect. and do everything else your doing????

    Thanks!

  • @mj580353 depends on you signal. youtube fine.. netflix not so good buffers and that eats a lot of data. it might be unlimited but you can still get disabled if you are doing incredible amounts of data. if you choose to do video stream over 3G then get a data monitor. NOW incase you didn't read UPDATE under video and NOTES over video. NETFLIX disable use of older versions on netflix. So netflix will not work on Slider until they Fix it. 3G or WIFI

  • @mstechify Im sorry to trouble you but a couple more things again im sorry. ill sub you.. =D

    1. Does the phone IM on facebook?

    2. Is their a SILENCE ALL where is will make NO noise what so ever when ever i recieve a text/call?

  • @mj580353 yes and yes

  • Question, please answer:

    You know when you're in the menu and you get the yellow thing when you scroll at the top and bottom? How do you change that? Because it's kind of getting annoying lol. Please answer thanks(:

  • @iloveboobs3000 you can get a free version home screen launchers. I like the ADWLauncher EX by AnderWeb.. paid they offered few days ago for 10 cent sale maybe they will offer it again one more time. If you want free try.. Go launcher, ADW.Launcher, LauncherPro.. try them out but paid vs free bit of a difference. still 3 more days to get another launcher app for 10 cents, nice savings. if you don't know what sale is see little vid I posted on it.

  • "the quick fury animal jumped over the other animal"

  • Best Buy: LG Optimus V $64.99

    Radio Shack LG: Optimus Slider $149.99 - Wildfire S $149.99

    don't forget stores that price match.

  • hi mistechfy can you tell us anything about the lg optimus black rumored to come out this year?? idk if i should get this one or wait to see if the black does come out.

  • @4everthesystem check my channel posts. kept old youtube format so easy to see comments right away. I posted the new rumored phones with a link to info. little things I will post there like sale, rumors, important news, and helpful tips

  • @4everthesystem sorry i dont get what youre saying i didnt find anywhere on youre page that says anything about the lg optimus black sry... can u explain again plz

  • @4everthesystem they get push back on different pages when questions posted. will bring them up to the front and repost. check there in a few minutes. to much to repost as it gets asked a lot.

  • @gjkiii well don't that just flipping suck. netflix won't fix the app and they block all versions of the app from accessing unless you you have version 1.5.2 installed. Have you tried the latest? 1.5.1 is the one I tested on this phone. please get back to me on use of version 1.5.2 and how it works for you and leave feedback for others please.

  • @mstechify I did try 1.5.2 and the audio is out of sync. Here is the weird part. 1.5.2 plays fine on the Optimus V but not on the Optimus slider (which has a faster processor). I cannot figure that one out. I did some research in an android forum and someone else said the same thing about the slider and the V. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

  • @gjkiii yes in the five phone compare I showed that with netflix working OpV and not Slider or WildfireS. as far as I can tell it is something to do with the android version. Since Slider vanilla plain. and WildfireS HTC sense it has to be android version. Netflix plays way worse on the WIldfireS. There are other phones complaining out of sync. but of you install tv.com you can stream whole shows off the wifi just fine.

  • Great video. Thank you. The 1.2.2 version of Netflix will not work anymore for me. Its says I have to upgrade to the newest version in order to use it and the new version is still out of sync. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

  • @gjkiii no it say you can upgrade. you can cancel and it goes to playing

  • Google is celebrating 10 billion downloads with ten 10 cent downloads - for the next ten days. check it out. 10B Celebration ... today Beautiful Widgets, minecraft, double twist airsync stream, paper camera, 10 cents and more

  • ppl say they have problems with this phone due to low memory. does that mean it cant store alot of apps and pics? and if so, would it be wiser to get the wildifre s?

  • @gnjn004fam Really? Because its the Wildfire that most people have memory problems with...

  • @gnjn004fam I have to agree with DACNewsNetwork . look at video I posted on the two title "can't decide and I show internal memory and apps installed.

    mstechify 1 second ago

  • see my channel post new phones of possible VM release

  • okay im getting this!

  • does this have wifi

  • @141SPECOPS yes b/g/n

  • lg optimus slider vs intercept please!!!!

  • @endlessitaly21 I already did look through list of videos for 5 phone comparison. but slider wins hands down big time. The slider has dedicated graphics .. Intercept doesn't budget single chip. The Intercept has half the RAM, bad.

  • the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

  • does the LG Optimus Slider have a front and rear facing camera?

  • @greatwhiteshark616 just rear camera. only Triumph has front vga

  • why do people type things like the frog jumped over the blue moon on these reviews lol & why are all the phone updates named after foods =/

  • @babychanel21 I know huh. that is why I typed in something stupid and different other then the quick brown fox. glad somebody caught the sarcasm.

  • @babychanel21 yours was gay too.. you should have typed; Hey shorty, i'm feeling you, ill pick you up at 8pm for a makeout session. :)

  • @babychanel21 LOL. I'll remember that next time

  • You're so cool, mstechify

  • CYBER MONDAY SALE HAS BEGUN. OMG!!!!!! Triumph $149.99, Slider $99.99, Optimus V $69.99. at virginmobile

  • LG Optimus Slider $169.99 on sale at Radio Shack

  • I wonder if the slider will get Ice cream sandwich update.

  • @Gigihhcgfdhggfwf LG has only said they will be working on update for the high-end smart phones. In looking the list of confirmed phones getting update they are all high end smart phones.

  • Hey can you please do a video on how to download and install the modded netflix ? And you just earned yourself a new subscriber :)

  • U r soooooooooooo helpful

    Thanx

  • as of Nov 23, 2011 NEW PROMO CODES... Save20 .... will get you 20% off AND promo code... BRB15 ... will get you 15% off at virginmobile . Be aware that this promo code may only work for new accounts. It is unknown how long these promo codes will last. make sure there is no spaces before or after promo code or it doesn't work

  • is there something i can do to save battery?

  • @456jihoon watch the amount of apps you install that run in background. don't use livewallpaper. some say task killers help some say it makes it worse. Shut of WIFI GPS and bluetooth when not in use. Shut off use of wireless location when not in use (manually). shut off background data if you can. If you are having issues. first thing I suggest if you have never reset the phone is to back up and do a hard reset (see video for that).

  • Where did you get the orange keyboard because everywhere i look there red?

  • @Lmontoya93 LOL. that happened when a friend brought little kid for visit an they tapped the toggle switch to the exposure on my camera. It is red. Content of the phone is correct. didn't want to re-record . not all parts of the video are that way.

  • TOM SAWYER

  • @xTacticalRush don't you like rush? I listen to many many kinds of music. I was feeling rushed answering questions and pushing out a few more videos. "modern day rebel, a free-spirited individualist striding through the world wide-eyed and purposeful"

  • @mstechify No I'm a die hard rush fan hah I was so happy. and this only convinced me further to get this phone. haha

  • USE THE PROMO CODE ... Giving ..... on virginmobile web site NOW! when ordering new account and get 30% off

    Slider 140.00

  • @mstechify is this still available? is it 30% off ANY phone or only the slider? do I have to make a new account and everything or just change plans to it or what?

  • @ddavebradd go to web site put in card and add promo code you will see price go down when you apply. last promo code that was this great they made available for new customers. so you will have to be aware it might not work. Sales reps are clueless to promo. I don't know if it will work for you to by the phone on new account or purchase under somebody else and not add money then when get phone deactivate the new account and swap. just idea you'll have to figure out how to get that awesome price.

  • man i hope this has a black firday deal like the wildfire had if so ima get this

  • @SpecTacDenzel i hope so too. but not seeing it. seems HTC really pushing wildfire S phone. Why?

  • @mstechify which do u like better optimus slider or the wildfire and is black friday gonna have a deal

  • @TheYounghustler24 It has to be what is important to you. (wildfireS) camera and small or (Slider) texting and little more available internal memory. do you have large hands. But if you can get at the sale. makes great deal and easier on pocket to upgrade if something better comes a long.

  • Getting this fone I. CANT. WAIT...was gonna get the Wildfire S but it 2 small n i have big hands

  • ok thanks

  • do you need wifi to watch youtube videos, and to download apps from the android market,and lastly do pinch to zoom in

  • @bryant2321 no wifi needed just faster. you can watch youtube and use android market if you have 3g connection. and yes phone support pinch zoom

  • yea any people who cant afford the triumph, you're best bet is to pick up the opimus slider. skip the wildfire.

  • @itzmeurknight it seems to be the best balanced choice

  • @mstechify agree totally.

  • @itzmeurknight

    The HTC Wildfire lookes likes a good phone though.. Why skip it?

  • Does The Lg Optimus Slider have a notification flash light on the top of the phone by the speaker or whateevr its called. Ive watched other videos about this and it says that there is, And considering your videos are the best, i figured i would ask you,

  • @mstechify Okay thank you for letting me know. :)

  • @mstechify Oh and also, are you able to put a signature for messaging on the Lg Optimus Slider?

  • does this phone have alot of room for apps and does it run games like angry birds smoothly?

  • @gnjn004fam it has more room then the wildfire S see video uploaded of "can't decide" to memory. and it does play angry birds. I am uploading a short video showing phones and some upper levels as in smugglers den second screen of level 15 and unlocked of carnival upheaval. should be done uploading in less then 2 hours. HD takes a while. only adding this cause a lot of questions about angry birds and re answering the questions. watch for it. hope it helps.

  • LMAO in order to use Gingerbreak you must have it on debug mode and then have it plugged into the the computer by using a data cable and plugging it into the usb port if you don't have the driver's for the phone download them before hand plug it in your pc it will install then run gingerbreak and it will root the phone it uses a debug exploit also do not use the microsd when it ask after you plug it into the computer.

  • @emailme23 it's what I said. at this point you won't be able to root without a computer.

  • yet out of all the videos about this phone yours is the best

  • @manfisho99 ty :))

  • @mstechify your welcome but i gotta a ? how did you get the phone when on virgin moble .com says it comes out 11/11/11

  • @manfisho99 slider released 10-17 on VM website. then Bestbuy released 10-31, radio shack 11-06, and target sched release for slider is 11-13

  • This is the closest I got to rooting this phone :X

    howardforums (dot) com/showthread.php/1738563-Opt­imus-Slider-root

  • @MattFreakinBoy there is one that the esteem uses but none I can find that doesn't need use of a computer

  • @MattFreakinBoy oh just checked the web address you posted. yep that is the esteem one

  • Just to clarify, there is not a root currently out for this phone? I've searched around but have not seen any posts on how to enable the hotspot feature. Can you confirm this?

    Hotspot feature would make this phone perfect!

  • Getting this soon

  • Nice video! Where did u download Netflix? I looked on 4shared but couldn't find v1.2.2

  • @GadgetJen85 I posted the link under the video

  • I like the way you say "root". 

  • I like the way you say "root".

  • Comment removed

  • soo how is angry birds? does it play fine for you? is it better or worse than the wildfire s with gaming performance? thanks

  • Thanks for the great review. I might go ahead and get this phone over the triumph. Could you kindly tell me how Angry Birds run on the Slider? Is there any lag in the larger levels? Also is there any lag/freezes while using a live wallpaper and using multiple apps?

  • How is the music player/Headphone Quality?

  • @DACNewsNetwork loud, and louder then triumph but not as loud as the Wildfire S.

  • @mstechify thanks

  • You forgot to show the browser. How do you forget the browser.

  • @6667779311 LOL. if you want to see all the other things you are gonna have to watch the big long detailed ones. So much content to cover. I think the 3g and web browser on part 2 full compare called "even more" time frame 03:42 ;) your not the first to ask

  • How is its touchscreen? I currently have the LG Rumor Touch and the screen sucks. It's really unresponsive and the calibration is WAY off. Is this one any better? You seemed to use it with much ease.

  • Respond to this video... touch screen responsive and believe it is fiberglass like the optimus v. will feel much nicer the rumor touch. with rumor touch you feel like the screen is gonna break over time as you push harder.

  • @itsrandiduhhh I have the rumor touch too! It sucks but trust me its not even comparable to this screen. :-)

  • Honestly I think I will get this phone...one question though...would it be worth saving cash to buy the Triumph?

  • @reddnmilla it would only be worth it if you think it would be.

  • Can it be used on the basic rate on paylo
