I am surprised about the battery life. On 3G battery life sucks bad. Barely 8 - 10 hours with even minimal usage. On 2G however even with moderate usage with a decent amount of gaming it easily lasts the whole day unless I am roaming.

Would suggest a new battery. Having 2 batteries is always a good thing to have anyways. :)
 
Hi Guys. I am new to android rooting and upgradation... I got pantech burst on gingerbread 2.3.5 and got it upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 (stock from pantech)
But I need custom one as it consumes less battery and smoother than stock one... I have a question before I go to rooting and upgrading..
Do I need to backup my device before proceeding with rooting for being on safer side...
And if YES, which app/tool should I use..???

Awaiting replys... :)

Taking a backup is always recommended but for rooting you won't lose any data. However for installing a custom rom then you will lose data so a backup in mandatory in that case.

The Pantech Burst PC Suite itself can take a backup.

I am on stock ICS with 2G connection.
I am facing following issues.
1. Randomly I am unable to swipe right to left and vice verse
Like I am in gallery and if i try to swipe images from right to left, it doesn't happen. The image will goto right and then come back at the same position. When playing Subway surfers I encounter this issue. Even while closing apps from minimize list. Then I have to restart the device and all works fine.
2. Battery drains very fast when data connection is active.
3. I have installed 'Advance Task Killer" and I keep killing apps but after some time they are back.. What can be done for this.

Thanks Brendon.. :)
Just going to root my device now as I am waiting for CM10 ROM for pantech burst.. ;)
 
How is the battery life on 2G networks with data off? The phone will primarily be used for calls, text, some multimedia and occasional browsing. Will it cross a day? thanks

Got the phone a friend and rooted it. I happen to remove the ATT apps without taking backup, would this create any issue in future.

Also how to use phone as hotspot?

I am using it, soap water is needed , watch the installation video on the site
 
Ordered one from phonestoreusa via ishopinternational. Do they ship it in new sealed boxes or do they open it up?
Thanks! :)

If you rooted , use 'wifi tether' application , it does work on my Pantech.
 
Guys I am seeing a listing in ebay.com for Pantech Burst for $120 Pantech Burst | eBay

Do you know of any other options where I can get it for cheaper. The phone will be shipped to a friend in US and he will bring it here when he comes.
