[Windows Phone 7 General] shasul:
Hello guys just got the htc surround today , i was wondering that there is no keyboard in landscape mode in IE browser

Like i go to the home page and i can see the address bar only in portrait mode not landscape more.

And one more thing , does it cost to be a member on Xbox live on WP7 ? like my account name is Player8567 and so on.

Please waiting for quick answers
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
The browser is very limited in landscape support until ie9 and no it does not cost to be a member of Xbox live.
[Windows Phone 7 General] uiqjirka:
HTC 7 PRO support keyboard in landscape mode in IE browser
[Windows Phone 7 General] shasul:
No other good browser for WP7? I feel its is really limited.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
I use surf cube... Its an awesome browser. Internet explorer is pretty great though.

[Thunderbolt General] stfugtfo85:
I was going to get the thunderbolt, but then I came across the slashgear review that said it has a regular tft display. So then I checked HTC's website and it says TFT.

Hmm...
[Thunderbolt General] ApplCobbler:
Whatever it is, it looks pretty nice.
[Thunderbolt General] stfugtfo85:
http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-...110318-bkn2b2bcciqxthw31wjx55bixc-540x287.jpg

Looks pretty bad in that pic. Looks like I won't be getting it now.
[Thunderbolt General] bogatyr:
Yeah, that pic looks awful. Good thing mine doesn't look anything like that. Might want to look at one in person before you judge it.
[Thunderbolt General] eleazar123:
Coming from the Fascinate, the screen is the worst part of the Thunderbolt. We'll see if I used to it after a week or two.
[Thunderbolt General] stfugtfo85:
I also used to have a fascinate.

Screen is a huge factor in buying a phone since, you know, that's the thing we look at on the phone lol.
[Thunderbolt General] magneticzero:
How many of you are gonna view your screen from an angle?
[Thunderbolt General] ApplCobbler:
You sound like the baby in the picture.
[Thunderbolt General] stfugtfo85:
Are you guys seriously getting mad??? I'm trying to figure out information about the screen because I wanted this phone, but the screen is a HUGE factor in my decision. I can't check it out in person until after work. Anyone have any pics of the screen at a direct angle?
[Thunderbolt General] boingboingbilly:
The screen is TFT and it is not a very good one in my opinion. I don't care much about the viewing angles - for me the colors are pretty poor and it is not very sharp. The lack of sharpness is mostly due to blowing up the resolution on a larger screen but the colors on this thing are pretty bad when compared to my amoled Incredible and iPhone 4. Not crisp, not very good. The screen is very nice for video (due to the size) but otherwise completely unremarkable when compared with devices a year older.

Combined with the battery life and some serious Sense bugs, probably sending this one back. My coworker already sent his back today.

I guess I am disappointed with all the buildup of this "flagship" phone. Seems they could have presented a tighter package. I really wanted to like this phone - oh well.
[Thunderbolt General] Androidfreakz:
Its been reported that the screen is SLCD its better than my EVOs screen. I personally dont like amoled screens, there too saterated imo. HTC is moving from amoled screens to SLCD LIKE the bolt.
[Thunderbolt General] irod87:
Whatever the screen is its amazing. Vibrant and sharp.
[Thunderbolt General] itzjonjon69:
I went from an iPhone 4 to Fascinate and now Thunderbolt out of those 3 the iphone had the best display and the fascinate had by far the worst i hated the screen the colors just looked fake and made everything look cartoony. I absolutely LOVE the screen on the thunderbolt SLCD ftw!
[Thunderbolt General] tbcpn:
I've got a Dinc and aDX (both rooted FWIW), and a Xoom. Picked up a Thunderbolt over the past weekend. Love the screen. Much better than the DX, and I personally don't care for the saturation of the Dinc AMOLED. T-bolt screen is on par with the Xoom which is gorgeous.
[Thunderbolt General] Mapekz:
The screen owns the crap out of my Droid, which was confirmed to possess a normal TFT screen.

The T-Bolt definitely has a Super TFT LCD. I'm not sure a Super AMOLED would be necessarily better at this point, except for battery savings on 4G.
[Thunderbolt General] babybacon:
honestly this phone looks much better than my eris, and my incredible. and most definitely better than my g-tablet lol.

there is no angle where the screen loses color and it is extremely crisp looks much better than the dx when held right next to it. It just seems sharper. same res though.
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
I was actually pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Bolt screen. It's bright, vibrant and colors are very nice. I came from a Nexus One AMOLED screen.

Screen on TBolt rocks, at least on mine it does.
[Thunderbolt General] MYxdaUSERNAME:
how are you gonna judge a phones display without seeing one in person? nerd much?

this screen looks great to me...but I couldn't care less whether you get the phone or not..
[Thunderbolt General] distortedloop:
I agree. The screen is the biggest disappointment to me. It's not bad, it's just not up to par, in my taste, with either the iPhone 4 or the Nexus S and Galaxy S SAMOLED screens. It's the least satisfying thing about the phone for me, but not sure it's a deal breaker. I'd prefer a SAMOLED Thunderbolt, though! ;)

The screen should be a huge factor in your decision, but no picture on the internet is going to give you an idea of how it looks in person...

re: Nexus One comments, it's a first generation AMOLED (no S) device with a pretty lousy implementation of it on top of everything else. Totally unusable in sunlight, totally oversaturated, totally wonky. Not sure about DINCs or anything else.

I've have every model of iPhone, including the iPhone 4, a Nexus S, Nexus 1, Galaxy S i9000, Galaxy S Vibrant, Thunderbolt, and used to have an EVO 4G. The iPhone 4's display is pretty amazing, but I think I still prefer the SAMOLEDs.

SAMOLEDs are a tough act to beat in my opinion, but only because I like INKY blacks...total lack of color/light blacks, which only the SAMOLED/AMOLED displays can deliver. Compare a Thunderbolt to a Nexus S in a darkened room with a black screen on the phone and the Nexus S will emit no light...the Thunderbolt will emit a glowing black-ish backlit light. Not important to all, but something I really notice. As said above, not a deal breaker to me, but I'll jump ship to the first decent LTE phone to come along with a SAMOLED screen.
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
I do not have any problem with my display. Yeah, AMOLED and SAMOLED displays will have better contrast and more vibrant colors... but I do not have any issue with my TB display.

I came from an AMOLED Nexus One.
[Thunderbolt General] unremarked:
Over the last year I have had the following phones: Droid OG(LCD), Nexus One(AMOLED), G2(SLCD), MT4G(LCD), Nexus S (SAMOLED), Fascinate (SAMOLED), and now the Thunderbolt in that order.

While the technology may be the same, the screens are different. For example, I absolutely loved the Nexus S display, and despised the Fascinate's. I don't know what it is, but I always thought the colors on the Fascinate looked horrible. I hated that phone from the second I got it. Likewise, I sent the MT4G back because I couldn't stand it's washed out colors so I can understand where some folks are coming from.

I find that the Thunderbolt's display is nearly identical in every way(colors, vibrancy, brightness, etc.) to the G2's, which, by most accounts, is pretty damn good.
[Thunderbolt General] engagedtosmile:
I actually like the screen a lot more than my Evo. Crisp, clear, bright.
[Thunderbolt General] kendive:
I love the new bolt over my DINC. Just waiting to root to get the bloat off. You can also make a phone call and cruse the internet at the same time on this new bolt in a 3G area or a 4G area. Verizon is going to this new simcard in all there phones. One other thing you can not do the *228 anymore not needed with the simcard in the phone.
[Thunderbolt General] suzook:
Im starting to wonder if different screens are being used??My screen looks like the pic, it gets very washed out at any slight angle...yet it seems as if some here are saying its not true?? IDK...Im honestly thinking of returning mine...You look at the screen more than talk on these days.
[Thunderbolt General] IGottaDroid:
i have a droid x and my t-bolt screen is great glad i gave back my galaxy tab
[Thunderbolt General] RogerPodacter:
i went to see the thunderbolt near me and was blown away by the quality of the display. it nearly matches my nexus one AMOLED. i was convinced they used some higher quality SLCD over the other SLCD screens HTC has been using recently. that was my impression anyway.
[Thunderbolt General] brian85:
With some people saying it's awesome and some saying it's extremely bad, I'm starting to think this is true.
[Thunderbolt General] engagedtosmile:
Was true for the Evo.
[Thunderbolt General] unremarked:
Shot a quick video of my Thunderbolt's screen with my Fascinate. I'm uploading it to YouTube so folks who are undecided and/or wanting to check if their screen is washed out can see.

video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqVDc5pdy3I

Sorry for the lower quality, thought I told it to shoot in 720p.
[Thunderbolt General] brian85:
awesome, post link when done
[Thunderbolt General] unremarked:
I tried to use my Xoom to shoot a comparison between the Fascinate and the TB, but it just came out all blurry as can be. -_-
[Thunderbolt General] chino0131:
I came from the Epic on Sprint. While the screen looked significantly better on the Epic, its not worth dealing with Samsung IMO. But everyone has their own preferences and needs. Some may want a great display while others may want better support. Personally, my opinion is that you should buy what fits your needs. Samsung Galaxy line has great screens, no doubt about that, and the hummingbird processor is great. However, I just personally hated their lack of support and being stuck on eclair for so long.
[Thunderbolt General] suzook:
Blacks look great on that video...better than mine..gee...maybe i should try exchanging it..
[Thunderbolt General] HonestEnd:
I don't know what phone some of you guys have; but my Thunderbolt's screen is gorgeous.
[Thunderbolt General] JonKyu:
I think the screen is pretty nice, definitely a lot better than my washed out Droid X; however, the X looks a tad bit more sharp just for the fact that it's resolution was larger. I really wish the Tbolt would have had a higher resolution display, both chrispness/sharpness and color is important to me. I dunno but I love iphone's chrispness and I love the vibrance of the Amoled (although I do admit that the samsung displays are a bit oversaturated). I think the bolt is a good balance between the two.
[Thunderbolt General] HorsexD:
Screen Looks Fine to me. Not as Bright as Samoled but its Not bad at all. Better than Evos for shure.
[Thunderbolt General] 06ms6:
It's nowhere near the Galaxy S phones, but I'm not bothered by it. Still, I try not to hold it next to my Mom's Epic4G.

I was under the impression it was SLCD as well.
[Thunderbolt General] Boss428man:
You can't judge from a picture.. Just the processing from cpturing from a back light screen to conversion to 8 bit and compression then uploading to youtube I have noticed makes videos darker due to there compression methods. It might not even be close. Just a note, I do color correction for a living.
[Thunderbolt General] destroyerbmx:
i came from the fascinate also.

The colors are rich on the TB, not white washed like the droid x. Its darker but has a good balance of saturation, the fascinate could be too bright. over all I dont feel its a step down from the samoled, I still look at the screen and think its a crisp picture.
[Thunderbolt General] arasky:
first thing i noticed was all the wasted space on the phone. i'm young, i want small buttons. instead my grandma can use it with no problems. bummed that lcd density doesnt seem to help it either
[Thunderbolt General] douglasmcusmc:
Ans just to get something out in the open.... make sure you have an high quality screen protector.. I say this because they will also change the way a screen appears.
[Thunderbolt General] ksizzle9:
I just finished an intercourse session with the screen on my bolt. It looks sick, and ive had every phone verizon offers, iphone4 included. The only thing the iphone has to offer is resolution, the only thing the fascinate has is vibrancy(word?prolly not). I would take the bolt anyday over thise two phones
[Thunderbolt General] unremarked:
And that's a fair enough point.

Ultimately, the best thing for anyone to do is to go into a store and check one out for themselves. I only shot and posted that video because there were pictures made earlier that didn't look a thing like the screen on my device. I had meant for it to be in 720p so it would at least have the highest resolution.
[Thunderbolt General] SuperFly03:
Yeah... I basically agree with this.

Not as good as my AMOLED on my Incredible (pre SLCD, w00t) but definitely not that bad. I realize a good display is nice... but the delta from SLCD to SAMOLED isn't enough to make me cry foul. My guess is it came down to cost, but that's me guessing.
[Thunderbolt General] ilogik:
I have the fascinate and TB, if you compare the first level of angrybirds between the two there is no difference what so ever except the fact that you can see the pixels on the fascinate.
[Thunderbolt General] Joeviocoe:
It is like reading a bunch of art students argue about who the better post-modern painter is...

With so many different opinions, some saying the Tbolt's display is awesome, better than this, better than that... and other saying it is worse than those other phones. You have to wonder... the Thunderbolt is made in a factory, each nearly identical in design and manufacturing.

Could it be your vision?!?! Some eyes pickup color distortions better than others, some pickup resolution, others contrast, etc. Your eyes have more to do with it than the phone.

Go to a store, and look for yourself. You cannot trust outside subjective opinions on this.
[Thunderbolt General] fillyo:
Wtf is angry birds?
[Thunderbolt General] mexiken:
LMAO, epic. Well played.
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
I can definitely see a difference in clarity and game performance with Angry Birds. It's not quite as vivid or smooth as on the Fascinate. Level 14-2 was the most noticeable one for me and a good one to test with the big red birds. It isn't bad, just not on the same level as super amoled and PowerVR gpu but definitely not enough to return it given everything else.
[Thunderbolt General] le0.br4zuc4:
I came from a fascinate and I think the screen is not bad, pictures looks good on the phone so no complaint from me
[Thunderbolt General] javawolfpack:
So I just got my TB and turned it on moments ago. Next to the AMOLED on my DInc I can definitely tell that it looks a bit faded; however, the screen looks nice in general. I mean it probably isn't ideal for watching movies, spot checking camera phone pics on the fly, etc... but well if you really want to do those things it'll do it in a pinch, which is nice. But on the go there are still other better solutions for watching movies/looking at photos... So yeah if you only have the phone and no other portable devices you might not be happy about the screen. But if your looking for something to surf the net, check email, etc all at high speeds I think the screen is great.
[Thunderbolt General] Mad Llama:
I kinda miss the bold colors of the AMOLED on the DInc, but the TB has great viewing angles and a crisp looking picture. It's growing on me.
[Thunderbolt General] enkrypt3d:
I guess no one caught this? haha :o
[Thunderbolt General] allquixotic:
I actually have a Tbolt in person (unlike the speculators), and I have to say, I like the screen a whole lot. The people in front of me at the Verizon kiosk where I got the phone had some strange account problem and it took them 90 minutes to get processed through, so I had LOTS of time to look at all the other phones on display, including the iPhone 4.

I have to admit that the higher resolution and brightness of the iPhone 4 makes it look better than the Tbolt. But I am a die-hard Android fan and I hate Steve Jobs' proprietary walled garden.

Out of all the Android phones on display, I have to say that the Tbolt had the best looking screen, to my eyes. The Xoom looks better for obvious reasons (it's a bigger and more expensive device) but it's a tablet, not a smartphone. So out of all the Android Smartphones that VZW was offering when I purchased my Tbolt on launch day, imho the Tbolt wins.

Oh, I also have an (original) Droid 2 that I've had for months. I transferred the Droid 2 over to my mom's line so now I have LTE and she has EvDO :) When holding the Tbolt and Droid 2 side by side, there is a noticeable difference in the vibrance and resolution of popular apps such as Angry Birds. I certainly see how the Tbolt is a step up over previous-generation phones, though admittedly it's not a huge step. The iPhone 4, for all of its proprietary ugliness, still has the best screen in this form factor. But if you can tolerate iOS then you probably shouldn't be on xda-dev.... ;)
[Thunderbolt General] kierandill:
Exactly. It's like they tried different dopey ways to photograph them until they got the most variation. They ended up with the angle you look at if from after you drop it in a bar and crawl under the table to retrieve it...

[Atrix 4G General] trickyhenry:
Hi peeps,

I have a Atrix in the UK on Hutchinson 3 (three). Today I used the speedtest (.net) app and got 2.1mbs .. Now i thought this was ok until my work mate used the app on his iphone and got 4.2mbs! same app.. same network.

Anyone any thoughts? I know the upload is capped but surely not the down. Now i know this could be Three capping non iphone users but anyone getting better?

Thoughts?

Not many Atrix users in the UK so this question may be premature.
[Atrix 4G General] abe1990:
im pretty sure its your network capping non iphone users. over here in australia, i am getting around 3-5Mbps.

I just did a test 1min ago, and got 3.2Mbps download, however the upload is capped on all atrixes because i got 0.38Mbps. on my old phone, i would get around 1-1.5Mbps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaker.the.skater:
just went back to stock 2.3.3 and the market update didn't kick in yet and i realized how much more i liked it than the new one. anyway to prevent it from updating?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yes, easy

just go into market

go to settings

select Do Not Notify

done

never mind... i just realized you wanted to prevent market itself from updating.... instead of the APPs from updating :p

by installing any CUSTOMized Android market will effectively prevent it from updating itself

so you can go install one of those color changed or themed ones over the stock one

you need to be rooted though
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaker.the.skater:
ok gotcha. I didn't know if they would stick or not. thanks :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
Yes it can be make to not update market version. If using cm7 or stick. Look for market update. Use titanium to freeze the market updater. I have a themed market so I delete it and update market manually to new themed version.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaker.the.skater:
oh nice I didn't even think about that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creeve4:
This technique does not work for the newer 3.xx versions of the Market.

Does anyone know how to get the newer 3.xx versions to NOT auto-update?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
try deleting it?

make a backup.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazerak2:
Give this a try, it worked for me. Go in to terminal emulator and type exactly what you see. Then go to the marketplace app in "manage apps" and press "uninstall updates."
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodtalingchan:
I stick with market 2.3.6. using TI to restore it back when updating the new rom
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inordertobeable:
Solution that worked for me

You need a superuser access. Go to the /system/app/ and find MarketUpdater.apk. Edit its permissions so that only read access for the file owner is checked. Resulting file mode string should be r--------.

Then uninstall market updates (Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications. Find there Market and press Uninstall Updates).

This also prevents market from crashing on CM7.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
I tried freezing with Titanium backup, clearing market data via manage apps & also the terminal way mentioned in this thread.... i even deleted the marketupdate.apk & still no joy!

All of these m running a themed 3.*.* version, does anyone else have any solutions to this problem?

Hello, I was just wondering if someone could tell me exactly what a Baseband is. I mean I know that some roms require certain ones, but other than that I have no clue what it is. I would be very thankful if someone could get back to me on this.:o
