If anybody else is having issues running out of memory before we get root, here's what you can do.
Go to Settings>Apps, scroll to all, and see which ones you can Disable.
I haven't had any issues since I did that.
Also, ART has given me a lot of issues. If you don't know what it is then your fine.
Here's a link to see which apps can be disabled. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2829339

Uninstall Sprint Recommended Apps. Or it reinstalls Nascar/NBA and all the other crap. I uninstalled them, rebooted, only for Sprint Recommended Apps to reinstall them. I disabled or uninstalled almost all bloatware. Can't get rid of Sprint ID or Sprint Zone. I actually use the Zone tho.

Yeah, the Sprint stuff we're stuck with til we get root/unlock. If Sprint/LG stays true to form, we won't even be able to remove bloat until we get unlock.
I'm a minimalist as far as my phone, so I have very few apps and widgets. Im always modifying things to make stock better.
It amazes me though that we have 3gigs of memory and it easily goes down to 500mb. That's when I start having issues and why I posted this.
I don't even use FB or G+.
Can't wait for root/unlock to see what this phone is really capable of.

Actually I've gotta give it up to Sprint/lg for actually giving us the ability to remove about 95% of the bloat. The very few that I actually couldn't uninstall I just hid. May not be perfect, but an effort was made to allow us some control, and that's a great start. Hope to see more of this in the future. [emoji106]

I hadn't thought to run ART, but I decided to try it out. It's actually super smooth for me, no issues aside from Pandora, but I fixed that. No weird freezes or reboots like I had on my Note. The only thing that hangs slightly is Media Browser, but it's usable.
If only we had Xposed for ART. And root... good things come in time though.
I have been using an app for a few years now with some pretty good customization. Fast Reboot Pro. There is also a lite version. It works great for me. You can decide which apps it handles and if it will free memory when you unlock or lock your phone. Also a widget to free up memory when you need a quick boost, which is the way I use it.

Why would you disable them? Try clearing cache and data on them. If that doesnt work you can try to get copies of the apks.

I had no issues with ART for about 2 weeks. Then one night I went to sleep woke up and some apps as well as some games started to act very funny. They would load then crash out the Facebook app itself would hang forever and never work yet the night before everything was working fine. I went back to dalvik and I've had zero issues since that time. ART was nice minus the issues I had I would love to keep using it.

Hey this is my first post and I'm kinda new. I don't know if this question has been asked but i haven't seen it in the two weeks I've been on. But the YouTube app does not work for me I always get an error that says the video cannot be played tap to retry. Now I've heard of this problem thing is it almost never worked (probably 80%) in the browser. Very rarely can I use YouTube at all on my phone. Can anyone tell me what the solution is?

Mine does this all the time a few tap to retry's usually does it.
If not clear the app cache and data.
Go to:
Menu
Settings
Applications
Manage applications
All
Youtube
Then open youtube and log back in. This usually fixes apps that seem to have gone nuts, good luck!
If your rooted, uninstall the apk with titanium and reinstall it.
Also check for the update on the market, that's all I usually have to do with customers' phones at the store.

Make sure that your flash player is up to date, too. Now that we have root, if your have done so, it would be easy to remove the app through Titanium Backup, as well.

Mine is jacked up too. Youtube app won't work in 3g but works fine in 4g and wifi. But if I go to the browser to youtube website, it works fine in 3g. So I believe it's the app. Youtube app on this phone is 2.1.7 on the market it's 2.1.6. I believe we just have a buggy new app that was made specifically for the 3d capabilities.
So the fix I think I found ,sorry it has been so long, is if you remove the routing using the msl rout to speed up your data then YouTube magically decides it likes you again.
boom!! from my shooter
mine does that occasionally but almost everytime i get that error 80 whatever it is and then i have to retry loading the page.
I never get an error number mine says disconnected from the server tap to retry

WTF. This application blows. I keep getting connection to server lost. Videos will only play over Wifi and not 3G or 4G. Has anyone figured this out?
I used GetJar to download some free popular apps. I was bored using SQLite one day and went into GetJar. I did not like all info it seemed to be storing about my usage patterns. Ie, how often i open each app and when.
Anybody know about GetJar?
Right when that "Market" came out I used it and downloaded a few things shortly after I started getting the AirPush adds in my notif bar. I uninstalled the apps and the GetJar Market and haven't used it since.
You could disable its reporting in autostarts

I use autostart sparingly but another reason I ask is because after installing Tapatalk from GetJar, all my phones notification sounds were changed to random 15 second sections of random songs in my library. I was at work, my phone rang, and all of a sudden Hatebreed was screaming through my speaker haha. Basically I uninstalled the market too.
Weird, I use it with no issues what so ever. I only use it to get the free versions of known apps like Tapatalk though. No adds in my notification bar.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I used it, but disabled it starting up when the phone started, never got any ads, however I would still find it starting up intermittently, so I uninstalled, I would install again if I found an app I like on there and uninstall after i need it
It's a battery hog. That I can say. I second thewarhawk's recommendation. Install if needed, uninstall afterwards.
+ 1 on no ads & battery hog. I always freeze it after I checked / downloaded something.
Never had a problem till trying to download a ROM and it tried to re-download itself while I was downloading the new darkside. It was uninstalled at time but the apk was still on sd card WTF.

Me either, I haven't got any problem with getjar.
But the problem is they do not support update when downloaded apps are updated.
Even its weekly free apps are old versions..
Is it illegal market like a black market?
If it is, then I should stop using it..
But still no problem with it, yet.

This morning I got a notification from my McAfee Mobile Security app telling me it found a potential threat on my sd card. The notification led me to one of my CWM backup .tar files, so I dismissed the notification and told the app to take no action. I just decided to take another look at my backups and realized that McAfee had gutted every single one of my .tar files. The files are still there, just empty.
I've been using McAfee for over 6 months now with no problems. Must have been a recent update. Back to Lookout.....

That sucks. I hate how McAfee takes control even on the computer. I used them once on a new computer and had absolutely no control over anything it did so dumped it and never went back. I've been using NetQuin on my phone and ZoneAlarm on my computer.
Been using AVG myself since my annual sub to Lookout expired a few months back. It's been doing fine for me.
I am one of the few people that likes McAfee. I use the antivirus software and online backup on my computers and never had a problem of any kind. Made sense to me to try the mobile product. It worked great too until today.
I started using McAfee when I stopped using blur based roms since I wanted the ability to wipe remotely. Can you do that on either NetQuin or AVG. Lookout can do it, but that would be another $30.
I used avast for a while. You could give that a go. It was quite good, not very intrusive and doesn't have a noticeable effect on performance. :thumbup:
Since doing a factory reset on my phone I haven't bothered reinstalling it as I don't feel it's necessary for my needs.

NetQuin probably offers it for the premium service as well, but the free version does have an antitheft mode. If someone tries to change the sim card out then it notifies a number you select when setting it up. Also has online backup of contacts which is another feature I use alot in case google doesn't work between new roms.
Sounds like they are all the same (like most apps) - you get some features for free and you pay for the really good features. I'll be back on a blur based rom until official ICS comes out, so I'll just keep using the free version of Lookout.

What upndwn4par said and also there are alot of malicious apps making their way to download, plus its good for web browsing on your phone. Facecrap is still known as being the easiest way to get viruses and most people use that on their phone daily.

A lot of the bloatware can actually be uninstalled. Just be sure to have a Nandroid backup ready (don't do this if you don't have a custom recovery and a backup), because uninstalling some things can cause a Security Error when you try to boot. I found out the hard way yesterday that uninstalling LGSmartcardService will cause that error, but I was able to remove a lot of other things.
