For my LG Optimus, and I think most LG phones you can skip the activation sequence by doing this:
When on the language selection screen --
Press these keys in this order: Volume Up, Volume Down, Back, Home

It worked for me and if you google "Skip activation on LG phone" you will find numerous videos and similar instructions for many different models.

Hope this helps somebody.

...
Helped me perfectly. Thanks! Got the Optimus Fuel, and Spongebob Squarepants earbuds as a bonus! Installed all of the important apps from the death of my Nexus 7.

Here's a sock full of diamonds not fully cooked



I remember an OLD version of Superman where he squeezed a lump of coal til it turned into a diamond. I'm aging myself.

That happened on Smallville too. Of course it didn't turn out so well for the intended of that Diamond.

In case anyone missed the Lumia $20 sale, it's available for $30 right now on Amazon, it's listed as a "deal price" so it may go back up again soon.

I got mine today and it's impressive for a cheap phone.

Amazon free apps bundle

Just so no one misses this, Amazon has a bundle of 40 free apps today through Friday, though I don't know whether the bundle changes or not during these three days.

There are a lot of worthwhile apps here. I already had about half of them.

And of course, don't forget the regular FAOTD, which today is here.

[EDIT: Dup of previous thread. Shoulda known tubemonkey would have already alerted this.]

I was thinking of the old comic books. Seems to me Supe made coal into diamonds several times in those. I think in the TV show he made an enormous diamond to replace the eye of an idol, in order to save the lives of Perry White and his sister.

The Moto G2 is similar to the LG Volt ($30~$40 during BF), but with newer OS (5.0), better resolution and more available storage. Pluses for the Volt include LTE, and a battery that's substantially larger and removable.


Shared Features
  • CPU ------> Snapdragon 400/ quad-core/ 1.2 GHz
  • RAM -----> 1.0 GB
  • other ----> mSD, FM radio

Moto G2 Advantage vs LG Volt
  • Carrier ------> unlocked/ any GSM ----- no contract/ Boost or Virgin
  • Android ---> Lollipop 5.0 ----- KitKat 4.4
  • Display ---> 5.0"/ 1280x720/ 294 ppi ----- 4.7"/ 960x540/ 234 ppi
  • ROM -----> 8 GB/ 5.5 GB avail ----- 8 GB/ 3.9 GB avail

LG Volt Advantage vs Moto G2
  • Price ----> $150 ----- $30~$40
  • LTE ------> no LTE ----- LTE
  • Battery --> 2,070 mAh/ non-removable ----- 3,000 mAh/ removable
My son is having Volt-envy issues. I wish I'd bought two at the time. He's beginning to understand the need for a second device to conserve the phone battery.

(Am amused... are we going to keep this thread going until it can be renamed BF2015?)

The Volt is turning out to be the killer deal. It's still available at Amazon for $60. That's $20 to $30 more than the RadioShack deal.

Costs more, but still worth it. If it worked with AT&T I'd get one for my son.
