May 28, 20224 yr Author I called my carrier Boost Mobile. He has new phones. Cheapest one with internet on it $110.
May 29, 20224 yr Author I wish I could convince mom that Life's Good LG's going out of business is NOT a hoax is NOT a rumor. She thinks because the problem started over night it will go away over night. Unfortunately it will not. Nothing to do but let the rest of Life's Good LG's days run out its course until they shut them down completely then she will see! When she's without a phone! She wish she only listened! New brand co is the fix.
May 31, 20224 yr Author LG IMS just approved an update. Maybe now the problem of it stopping will quit? Fingers crossed it will now stop that. It only took 'em 1 week and a day lol. They are going out of business though. So will need new phone eventually.
May 31, 20224 yr Author Everyone... What happened was that LG IMS thing rejected and kept stopping until it finally improved. It kept rejecting an automatic system update. It was in Rosco P. Coltrane words "Being a dipstick!" It finally accepted the automated update and is now back to normal after 1 week of doing LG IMS keeps stopping every second of the day/night since last Sun/Mon week before Memorial at 4 am when it started.
May 31, 20224 yr Author Life's Good(LG)caused the error in the first place with its automated system network update.
June 15, 20233 yr Author Howdy y'all. The Skipper might be out of commission for awhile. Time for a new phone. This one is 4 years old. The screen is going bad. The burn/ghosting has gotten worse now.

We'll hold everything together 'til you get back......right now I'm enjoying a few AB's ( Adult Beveridges) and earning my reputation in Hazzard County! I'm drinking Milwaukees Best Ice!

April 14Apr 14 Author I might be gone for a bit pretty soon before too much longer. It's been accidentally dropped a few times and the plastic case is busted up and won't sit flush anymore and the screen is now coming off too. All along the right side and across the bottom. I may be temporarily out of commission pretty soon. Probably cheaper to just get a new device than trying to repair this one? It's time for a new one anyway. I have storage issues and functions are not working properly. It takes I swear like 50 million times to delete or archive chats before it'll do it now. Is it true? Am I supposed to upgrade after 3 years? Judging by the way this one is acting now, and the impacts it has absorbed, it is definitely toast?

May 1May 1 Good to hear you have a new phone. I use a really old tablet for HN. Blew up from a swollen battery? Cause any other damage? Were you in the outhouse at the time? I hope you don't need a new outhouse now.

Although I use my phone to check HNet when I'm out of the house, I make well over 90% of my contributions from a laptop. The ability to easily switch between multiple tabs and multiple sources, and having an actual keyboard to type on means that I can't imagine getting nearly as involved with smaller devices. Roger, I don't know how big your tablet is, but I'm sure the larger screen benefits your viewing of photos and videos.
May 3May 3 Besides all that, I refuse to pay the crazy prices for computer phones etc. There are only a handful of occupations, where you actually NEED a computer phone, so the rest is called " Just wait until you get home to look it up". People pay exhorbitant prices to be hip, cool, with the " In " crowd etc. I will not!
