[sanchm11]

I'm getting this phone in a couple weeks was wondering if getting CM7 in it a good choice?

[4ndroidtech]

@sanchm11 Of course:) But I actually prefer the CM9 ROM:) Be sure to check out my website on how to get all of these ROMs and much more at virginmobilehacks.webs(dot)com

[snykiaw1]

Which is better this or the lg esteem?

[sherteasean]

Did 2.3 come out for this phone? Thinking of getting it but rather prefer 2.3 over 2.2.

[4ndroidtech]

@sherteasean Not officially. But you can flash a custom ROM to it and get it on android 2.3 or even 4.0 now! Check out my website to learn how virginmobilehacks.webs(dot)com­!

[georgesarmiento17]

can u take off where it says 'virgin mobile' on the screen?

[4ndroidtech]

@georgesarmiento17 On the lockscreen? I'm not sure, because I don't use that lockscreen app anymore. If you wanted to try it out you can download the app and look in the settings.

[MAFIAxHITTMAN]

Thanks man i am acually going to get this phone in about a month or so.

[4ndroidtech]

@MAFIAxHITTMAN Nice(: When you do be sure to get involved on my website virginmobilehacks.webs.com ! We'd love to have you!

[MAFIAxHITTMAN]

Im debating between this or the HTC wildfire. Which one it better

[4ndroidtech]

@MAFIAxHITTMAN Well, performance wise of course the Motorola Triumph is much better. But there also is a big price difference. It really just depends on what you use the phone for. For me, the Motorola Triumph is WAY better!

[4ndroidtech]

im still not exactly sure what pin your talking about but i would call virgin mobile customer service at 8883221122 let me know if that helps!also, dont forget to subscribe and check out my website virginmobilehacks.webs(dot)com

[POASAtv]

@4ndroidtech the pin you put in the website! it requires a pin but he didnt tell me. can i do you need the pin to activate it throuh the 622 number or something?

[POASAtv]

@4ndroidtech hey I bought one from some guy but didnt get the pin # cam.n i activate without the pin?:'(

[4ndroidtech]

@POASAtv I'm not sure exactly what you mean. As long as he deactivated it from his account you should be able to put it on yours. What "pin" are you referring to?

[MrChemistro]

Does This Phone Freeze? Lag? Or Any Problems Down Sides? Im Thinking Of Buying It But I Dont Know If Its A Good Phone..

[4ndroidtech]

@MrChemistro It's a great phone! I haven't experienced anything that would be a big enough problem for one not to buy it. Plus, if you check out my website then you'll find all kinds of different hacks to make your phone run a lot better! So I would deffinetly recommend this phone.

[singleweird]

crap ur 3g is mad fast

[POASAtv]

Where is the flashlight on my phone?

[4ndroidtech]

@POASAtv You have to download an app to turn your phone into a flashlight. Just search "flashlight" on the market and there will be a bunch of options. If this helped you be sure to subscribe and check out my website! virginmobilehacks.webs(dot)com

[Dogers818]

Whats the Lock screen called ?? 

[4ndroidtech]

@Dogers818 Agile lockscreen. You can get it for free on the Android Market. If this helped you please feel free to subscribe and check out my website virginmobilehacks.webs(dot)com

[dcarm22]

Does It feel light or does it has a little weight to it? In other words, does it feel cheap??

[4ndroidtech]

@dcarm22 Well, I would deffinetly say it feels light. But that is mainly due to the thin structure of the phone. I wouldn't say it feels cheap by any means.

[dcarm22]

@4ndroidtech Thanks for the quick response...b/c this phone looks to be as close as of contract phone than u can possibly get. Just hate the way it boots up with the Virgin Mobile logo and its saying "hello". smh

[4ndroidtech]

@dcarm22 No problem! And if I helped you please feel free to subscribe and check out my website VirginMobileHacks.webs(dot)com­. And as for your problem, theres plenty of ways around the boot animation. You can root the phone and intall cool animations from the market and many other places! You can see all of these on my website!

[moo626]

Try using the Mapquest app. It's not exactly the same as a gps, but it does the job!!

[4ndroidtech]

@moo626 Thanks for the info!

[Justinseese17]

Thanks! :) does fun for mobile work? the ringtones just save right to my ringtonne folder

[4ndroidtech]

@Justinseese17 it should. If not let me know and I'll refer you to some apps that I use

[Justinseese17]

Definitely buying this phone! So you know if you can get free ringtones? Like on my VM Blackberry I just save them off wherever and have 100's but can you do the same on the Triumph or would I have to buy :(

[4ndroidtech]

@Justinseese17 Theres all kinds of apps for free ringtones on Android. Also, you can save you mp3s as your ring/text tones(:

[001Proudmommy]

[shayne8377]

Anyone know how the coverage is for virgin wireless and how are the fees

[4ndroidtech]

@shayne8377 The coverage is great for me, you may not get that answer from everyone. And which fees are you refering to? The only thing you pay for is the plan each month(which comes in $35, $45, and $55).

[globalk100]

@4ndroidtech i have the motorola triumph too but without using wifi my internet is slow is there something i can do ?

[4ndroidtech]

@globalk100 You may just have bad connection in your area. Call Virgin Mobile and see what the service is like where you live.

[christianesparza1228]

@4ndroidtech is dat cm7 thing in the android market

[4ndroidtech]

@christianesparza1228 No. It's a little tricky to instal because you have to have custom recovery in order to flash it. I'm planning on doing a video on how to get it this weekend so look for it.

[danksmokaz]

man..could you recomend a rom...and btw  my hotspot shuts off as soon as i click it ..the network disapears...grrr

[4ndroidtech]

@danksmokaz Well, if you want a mobile hotspot(that won't shut off) I'd reccomend downloading Whyzors new CM7 build for the Motorola Triumph. I'll be doing a video on how to get it.

[Carolinaguy19]

How did you get yours to look so cool, is it a theme?



[4ndroidtech]

@Carolinaguy19 Yes, it's a GO Launcher theme. I don't exactly remember the name but if you search for "green Go Launcher theme" it'll pop up.

[Joshy130813]

would you still recommend this phone now.? im trying to upgrade and this phone looks amazing, idnt wanna make the mistake of buying it if it isnt worth it ya kno? please let me know, and great review by the way.

[4ndroidtech]

@Joshy130813 Thank you! And definitely yes! I have owned this phone since it's release and it still amazed me how quick and smooth it runs. Also, there is a lot of development on it, so there are plenty of ROMs that improve the functionality immensely.

[Joshy130813]

@4ndroidtech thank you very much, ive been hearing both good and bad things but this just about sums it all up, on my decision. thanks for the help, definitely subbing btw :)

[4ndroidtech]

@Joshy130813 No problem(: And if you have any questions about getting ROMs for it I'll be glad to help!

[Joshy130813]

@4ndroidtech thank you, i will definitely ask as soon as i get the phone :)

[4ndroidtech]

@Joshy130813 I sent you a message, check it out!

[kboone13]

GPS fix here :) forum(dot)xda-developers(dot)c­om/showthread(dot)php?t=144203­8

[AcePCD]

Is v mobile service and 3g good

[4ndroidtech]

@AcePCD of course the 3g is going to depend on where you live. But where I live(Jacksonville FL) it is great!

[tarzan12052]

If u install " nolock" from the app market it will solve the dubble lock problem. Its a free app. I use it on my triumph. Works great.

[4ndroidtech]

@tarzan12052 Thanks!

[Randomnezsz]

can u have the $25 contract with it?

[4ndroidtech]

@Randomnezsz If you already have the $25 plan then yes, but if your a new customer then it is up to $35 now.

[Qaasim830]

Can this be used as a wireless hotspot ???

[4ndroidtech]

@Qaasim830 Yes, if you download a custom ROM called CM7 you can you it as a regular hotspot. But also without a ROM you can root it and download barnacle WIFI tether and use it as an adhoc connection.

[4ndroidtech]

@Guitar806 no camera lol.

[4ndroidtech]

@shakemyhand1592 i made an update video today but i wasnt satisfied with the video quality cuz i dont have my camera. but ill try to get one soon.

[shakemyhand1592]

bro when are you going to put up a new vid of your triumph?

[Guitar806]

y dont u make any more motorola triumph videos =/

[4ndroidtech]

@Wantsomecowbell yes, it has Micro SD

[Wantsomecowbell]

Micro SD slot?

[Guitar806]

@Wantsomecowbell its behind the back cover.

[SocialTechify1]

tht is soo sweet plz tell how do u get tht lockscreen, and how to get htcs ui

[Guitar806]

@SocialTechify1 watch my video on how to get sense! =)

[wingsonmyback1]

what about you battery? how long does it last?

[4ndroidtech]

@wingsonmyback1 it used to only last 6-8 hrs, but with CM7 I still have 25% at the end of the day with moderate to heavy use.

[wingsonmyback1]

how do you get the touch noise? and what is rooted?

[4ndroidtech]

@wingsonmyback1 the "touch noise" u can find in settings. and rooting is obtaining superuser permissions, essentially giving you complete access to your phone.

[kingamin77]

@zajrik how did you get CM7.2 on your optimus v?

[kingamin77]

Im so torn between choosing this and the lg slider, ugh...

[abaxley1992]

how did you get your phone like that? Root it? -amber

[4ndroidtech]

@abaxley1992 it wasn't rooted its just GO apps

[4ndroidtech]

@MrSilverx222 yeah. it works better running CM7

[zajrik]

@4ndroidtech Are you using Whyzor's CM7 ROM? And if so, how well is it running? I'm looking into getting a Triumph when taxes come back, but I don't want to transition to a new phone unless I can move into CM7 again as soon as possible. Coming from Optimus V with CM7.2

[4ndroidtech]

@zajrik I'm running tickerguy's and Isaac's CM7 ROM, and it runs flawlessly.

[4ndroidtech]

@IHeartBud420 android market.

[4ndroidtech]

@masterdew123 i suppose i just have a nack for it. its a GO launcher theme.

[4ndroidtech]

@ToniBriianna download it from the android market.

[4ndroidtech]

@Lakerboy2202 no. you won't lose it unless you change plans.

[4ndroidtech]

@SsShadowbaneSsS i have it rooted now. i had miui but i just switched to CM7

[SsShadowbaneSsS]

u should root that and put miui on it

[Lakerboy2202]

Hey man i also have a grandfathered 25$ a month plan.. Will I lose it if I buy this fone to replace my optimus?

[fogle6]

@Lakerboy2202 so! I had the loft and switched to the optimus you will keep 25/m : )

[fogle6]

@Lakerboy2202 no*

[Milleniumlance]

dude to much stuff running like that is gonna KILL your battery life

[ToniBriianna]

how do you get the sense analog clock.

[musclehead1992]

good review man

[masterdew123]

howd u make it look so awesome?is it a theme or something?and how do you get it??

[IHeartBud420]

so where did you go to get all that stuff?

[gordto1418]

[MrSilverx222]

great review, any more luck with the GPS?

[Guitar806]

Getting mine tomorrow!!!!

[gordto1418]

hey can u hlp me customise my triumph plz

[4ndroidtech]

sure. What king of things do you want to do to it?

[Haargow]

@4ndroidtech how can i put that clock?

[mrkiwikiller]

Theme?

[4ndroidtech]

@mrkiwikiller C black go theme

[Afroxec]

semi interesting review

[Afroxec]

optimus slider for the win!

[4ndroidtech]

@just2watch35 This was the stock kernel. Now im running MOCK with the MIUI ROM.

[1900zack]

I have yet to see a review showing the Triumph with more than 1 bar of signal!

[4ndroidtech]

@1900zack well it only has 4 bars, as opposed to 5-6 on other phones. So one bar on the Triumph is more than it would be on the Optimus or other phones.

[1900zack]

@4androidtech is the cell signal as good as your optimus v? thanks

[4ndroidtech]

@1900zack The signal bar is lower because it only has 4 bars, but the signal strength appears to be the same. Maybe a little lower.

[samsamanthahh]

vvvv Nevermind :p

[samsamanthahh]

How did you get sense??!

[purplenunez]

@mockingbird it is worth it i had the optimus n upgraded. Motorola triumph is way better

[bigjoker444]

Can u make it into a hotspot

[the2bros100]

Hey Im gonna go pick up the Triumph, but one question is if its fast on 3G where ever you go? For Ex: School

[4ndroidtech]

@the2bros100 Well of course not. If your somewhere(such as a brick building) without signal, then you wont have 3G.

[barbiiedolldup]

getting this phone on black friday!

[MrJekkell]

@4ndroidtech I just installed the Go launcher& got the hang of it. Thank was for the information.

[Julispice7]

I have this phone, its pretty slow at times it takes shitty pictures... it takes forever to update and load new pictures, hmm the battery drains so quickly, on skype... u can only hav talking calls no video chatting.

[4ndroidtech]

@Julispice7 I use Skype for video calling(front and back camera), mine and everyone else I know's triumph is very fast, loads pictures instantly, and has very nice picture quality. The only thing I can give u is the battery life being poor. It has a small(1400 mah) battery so u shouldn't have expected anything more. But I have installed some apps and tweaked some settings that improves it.

[Mockingbird115]

@4ndroidtech just so i don't blow 300 dollars is this phone worth it especially from a current intercept user what would you think?

[ELDjPancho]

@4ndroidtech could you make a vid of tell me what you do to imrove your battery...u know apps and tweaked settings

[4ndroidtech]

@ELDjPancho I will soon.

[Mockingbird115]

android phones, when you don't fucking like the way the homescreen no worries change it to look like a billion other phones or have tits as your messaging icon WE DON'T JUDGE

[MrJekkell]

Hey. I just picked up the Virgin Mobile Motorola Triumph. I love it!! My question is how you set up the task manager & how do you set up your widgets like you habit? Thanks

[4ndroidtech]

@MrJekkell its called GO task manager. You need to have GO launcher installed. Most of those other widgets you see are from GO as well.

[BrookelleRodriguez9]

I want it xD

[dredre12373]

is that a rom you have? how did you get that?

[4ndroidtech]

@dredre12373 Its the stock ROM. Now I have a custom ROM on it, the MIUI ROM.

[Bandam77]

Where did you get the clock\weather widget from

[4ndroidtech]

@Bandam77 You can get it from the market. Its called "Sense Analog Clock." Its free.

[hhh6199]

how did u get the monster sign on the keyboard

[4ndroidtech]

@hhh6199 Its a feature of the keyboard I use. Its called GO Keyboard. Its free on the market.

[bamitsbob21]

do you know if the Triumph will ever get a 2.3 update?

[4ndroidtech]

@bamitsbob21 My guess is that it will, eventually. Because the device is limited to JUST Virgin Mobile, there isnt as much pressure on Motorola to come out with an update, unlike the Optimus V, wich is on like every major carrier. But i have 2.3 on my Motorola Triumph because I installed a custom ROM. You can put MIUI or CM7 on it to get 2.3 and other cool features.

[manrock111]

please tell me in 2.3.4 does it allow you to make video call over 3g or gtalk?

BTW i like your video

[4ndroidtech]

@manrock111 Thanks:) And I believe so. I think that all 2.3 phones have that capability.

[manrock111]

@4ndroidtech its sad that most of 2.3 phone dont have this feature enable by company, i have galaxy s(dual camera but cannot make calls over 3g nor gtalk), htc desire HD(video call with back camera), Galaxy SL(dual camera but you can make only video call over 3g not on gtalk.). that y i asked i am thinking to replace my HTC desire HD with spice mi 410 which is called motorola triumph in US.

[transformerland]

I have an LG Optimus V and want to upgrade to the Triumph, but with the help of a "Quick Settings" app i can use my phone as a wi fi hotspot. Is that possible with the Triumph?

[4ndroidtech]

@transformerland No. You would have to root it and install barnacle wifi tether. And then do some things on the computer side which isnt very difficult

[DrummerBoyz95]

I'm considering this phone. Would you recommend it for somebody who wants to keep the phone for as long as possible, only replacing if necessary? In other words, will this phone last me a good while?

[4ndroidtech]

@DrummerBoyz95 I think it will. Just keep good care of it.

[MrzUnforgettable]

How did you get your wallpaper like that with the calender and lock screen ?

[CSWAG123]

I really want 300 dollars right now :) Im stuck with this sucky zio:(

[topflightmexican]

did you get flickering screen? I just got mine and it flickers when i turn it on and off for like 3 times stright but if i dont turn it on for awhile it wont flicker. Any way to resolve this?

[4ndroidtech]

@topflightmexican yeah, don't turn it on and off a bunch of times quickly lol. Or u can install a custom rom (:

[purplenunez]

I have the motorola triumph n it does hace gps n works great

[EmeraldSerenade]

ive heard this phone has so many problems, should i still buy it?
