SGH-T779

Got mine the other day and so far im loving it. What customizations have you done so far? So far I am trying out the Apex launcher, and using Skype for voice calling, but would like to find something that doesn't cost. We have a case coming that has a built in Bluetooth keyboard.
I deal with Excel all day and the Tab is a perfect.

I cant even find how to root it. I need to find the forum

Have you tried Tango or Viber, they only offer app to app calls, but Tango has a PC version as well as working on android and ios

I used vibor a few months ago and hated the call quality, lag was terrible when calling overseas. I haven't tried Tango overseas yet, but asked clients to install to test. I've heard Whatsapp was really good, but not available for my Tab2. Right now I'm sticking with Skype as we paid for a 1 year subscription.

I just got mine today and am as well looking for a way to root surprise they havent added a forum for the SGH-T779

The only bright spot is the hardware is very similar to the US SGS3 with a Qualcomm S4 but with 1G of RAM.

Got mine today,
Black Friday freebie! hopefully a root solution will come out soon!

Ahh, too true. I've known some buddies employed with them. Amazing discounts. And they do let you have android devices now, instead of just the iPhone.

[Q] Unlock Tether / Wifi Hotspot on Sprint

I don't want to pay $30/mo to use some of my 5 gigs of data on a PC. I get 'internet unavailable' when I use the built-in tethering or WiFi hotspot. I would rather not use PDANet if there is an easy way to get the built-in functionality working.

Next time post in the right forum. This should have been asked under the FAQ section. It helps keep things clean and it helps someone answer quicker.

I was thinking the same thing but wasn't sure if that was just something sprint allows you to use free for the first 30 days or something. I vaguely remember having this "trial" when I first got my evo I believe. I'm past my 30 days so I'll try it when I get home.

LG/Huawei makes low end phones so the phones they have on here either have to be popular and or high end smart phones. U might wanna google what your looking for or u can look in the android dev section and goto the android software development and hacking.

I sold this phone and bought a S3, the second day I had it. I already had a T Mo Note but wanted a phone to have to mess around so I thought that would be a good one. Ended up selling it for 250 and paid another 200 for an S3. Going to be selling both to get a Note 2. Thanx anyways.

Exact same situation here as well. My mom's already fed up with the damn thing freezing up every day, even though it's on the stock V21y ROM and baseband, which was supposed to "fix" these issues. She reboots it just about every day too (or else it gets slow as molasses).
For moms, just flash them a vanilla cm7 with either faux 048 or Trinity T15 kernel.
Solid, dependable, hassle free after initial setup.

Does anyone know if there has been any real progress since the ICS release/leak/whatever for the SU660? I thought that since it has the tegra 2 as well maybe it could be ported over more easily than from the p990. But I don't know what all is involved with that sort of stuff.

Dude that really sucks you can't get decent signal on sprint in your area. Sooner or later vzw and at&t are going to realize that their bs is driving their customers away in droves. It really has a special way of pissing me off knowing I dropped all this money on these phones and I can't even do what I want with them. It's almost like going to a furniture store and buying a recliner and then that store owner dictating certain times I'm allowed to sit in that recliner, what times I'm allowed to put the foot rest up, what I'm allowed to do while sitting in it, and then being forced to sit in it with the store owner at the same time, and then being forced to wait a year to be able to buy a new slipcover for it.
That's just my example of comparing to vzw and their locked bootloaders, insane bloatware, ridiculously long-delayed updates and ridiculous push notifications, (vvm anyone?).
I really hope you get the dev edition if you can't switch and then I hope you torture the ever living hell out of vzw with it!
Best of luck to you my friend!
