[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
MacBooks are sold primarily to college students who have zero idea of anything you just mentioned. When was the last massive virus outbreak? BSOD? Needed reboots? I'm not talking about $200 laptops here, I'm talking genuine Windows capable machines... Kids go after Apple products because they're cool & pretty, has zero to do with function or reputation... The iPhone has a reputation of horrid service, bad antenna placement, & overpriced plans... It still sells though... And Mac OSX or whatever they hell it's called now has a reputation for lack of software, incapabilities, and overall hindered use, yet I can tell you the majority of 18-22 year olds at my University want a new, shiny one...

Windows7 went far in taking function, and making it pretty. Windows Phone 7 did the same, took function, and made it smooth and pretty... They've lost some features in the short term, but they've accomplished their goals of making them consumer friendly and hip...

I'm not as pessimistic as a lot of these Microsoft/Windows/WP7 haters on this forum, I see a possitive outlook... Microsoft has never really done anything to make me think differently... I mean, people here have said "Apple will do it first" - how exactly? What 'new' feature has Apple EVER come out with? They take existing technology, make it look shiny, and market it. I give them all the credit in the world for that. But as far as beating Microsoft to something as innovated and incredible as cross device perfection? Nah, won't happen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Finally, someone who feels my frustration. Its like all departments at Microsoft try their best to work against each other. Sometimes they get it right though.
[HTC Incredible S] xspyda:
Strange question maybe but being SLCD I think I am right in saying the blacks will not be as black as a SAMOLED screen and that the brightness of the screen overall cannot be dimmed down as much as other types.

My question is whether the brightness can be turned down enough to be comfortable in the dark when reading text or does the brightness practically blind you even at its lowest?

Incidentally, just how black are the blacks?
[HTC Incredible S] malikadnanm:
I would say if you've seen an iPhone 4 the blacks are similar to that. Not nearly as good as amoled but still decent. And you can manually lower the brightness to a pretty low level. It doesn't strain the eyes in the dark. The capacitive buttons on the bottom are actually brighter at the lowest screen setting.
[HTC Incredible S] xspyda:
Thanks for that.

My first experience of slcd was with the dhd, I've also seen the slcd screen of the nexus s and can't say I'm that impressed with either black levels or ability to lower brightness to a comfortable level. Hoping for better from the IS but somehow think I'm being optimistic.

There's always screen filter from the market but that's not nearly as effective on slcd as on samoled in my experience.

Swings and roundabouts, always!!
[HTC Incredible S] Godracos:
The Desire HD does not have a SLCD display, only a normal one.
[HTC Incredible S] xspyda:
OK buy either way its neither amoled or samoled so I'm sure you get my point :-)
[General Questions and Answers] DarkKnight62:
i just bought a new nexus s at best buy and when i turned it on i wasn't prompted to the android screen that tells me to touch the green android to sign into my gmail account so i got a little paranoid. the screen protector is still on the front and back, the battery was sealed and the charger was wrapped like it was new so i'm not sure if it was used and sold as new.

i did a factory reset and then upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 and then 2.3.3 manually so i think it would have removed anything if something WAS installed and it is was rooted and then rooted updating to 2.3.3 removed the root. it's in new condition and there is nothing wrong with it (so far) so i don't want to have to deal with exchanging it and then getting a phone in bad condition which i would have to exchange again.

anyone know what bestbuy does if they get a returned cell phone? are they able to resell it as new?

should i be afraid that the phone was used and something could have been installed that could steal my information once i enter it?

could the IMEI number have been copied down and could it be duplicated so i end up getting charged for someone using it with another phone? could the IMEI number have been copied and could the phone be reported as stolen by someone else without my cell phone provider confirming if they actually own the phone?

i know it these might be irrational fears but could anyone give me peace of mind and let me know if those things could possibly be done?
[General Questions and Answers] amith007:
Even if there was something intalled as u fear, it should have been removed when u flashed the phone with the new versions.. Also i think the manufacturer will do the initaill bootup.. it may be possible that they forgot to reset the phone..
[General Questions and Answers] DarkKnight62:
you think i should worry about the IMEI number being compromised at all?
[General Questions and Answers] orangekid:
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it.
[General Questions and Answers] sneitzel:
I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Hi all !

Since i bought the new LG Optimus 2X I have dedicated many of my freetime hours here on XDA (wich my girlfriend hates me for :P)

The developers here on XDA does a hell of a job everyday so i thought that maybe I can distribute on one way or another.

I'll give you the opportunity to get your self an Personal designed signature-box free of charge from me !

Signature-box is what i call the images presentet in your signature.

How does it work ?

- You’ll send me your nickname on XDA and a maskot if you have one that you want me to use.

When will it be finished ?

- As soon as I replyed you on XDA I will begin my work with your S-Box, hopefully you will get it fast !

How do I get it to show up in the signature-field ?

1. Upload your image to an FTP or website.

2. Copy the adress to your Picture.

3. Go and Edit your signature.

4. Click on the image button on the toolbar.

5. Paste your adress in the popup that comes up.

6. Preview your signature.

7. If there are any problem - PM me with the right topic and I will answer ASAP.

I hope it will drain down messages in my inbox now ;)

New S-boxes will be showned in this Thread.

I recently did “Gilg@mesh” (DEV on LG2X) download-box as you see in the attachment.

Plz feel free to donate for my work

Could you frame the face (or make the background black), and maybe remove the ROM?

I change too often. Had GingerSense, changed that to a different one, flashed CM7, now on MIUI. This was all between now and yesterday.

And I'd donate if I had the money. Or if people donated to me.

So.

Donate to me so I can donate to Ekkis, peeps! ;)

I also got a feeling that you're too scared to put my motto in there. XD

I recommend you to NOT upload it through XDA "Signature-picture" instead upload it to a ftp or use the link i provided before i will not remove the picture from there.

Beacuse as see right now it's a white background...it's not as nice as without the BG...but U do as U want ;)

[Off-topic] Ekkis:
No I have not any BGcolor. Look at the first one that i posted to you, it has'nt got it.

Beacuse i've saved it as a png (transparent) - XDA have made it to a gif. i don't know why... so use my link and in the signature field click on the image-button and paste the link into it. then it will appear without the background. PM me if you don'tknow how to find the link ;)

I've searched the forums but I couldn't find an answer which a noob can understand.

1. What exactly is Fr7?

2. What do I need to flash a rom?

3. How do I root my phone?

4. Are there any negative consequences to rooting?

5. How can I back-up everything?

I think this is all for now. I'm sorry to bother you guys but every thread I've read uses slang I do not understand.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techno79:
The Galaxy S II does not have the same thickness across the entire profile of the device. My question is, is the 8.49mm stated thickness at the thinnest point or thickest point or is it some average?

The thickest point appears to be at the base where there is a lump on the back of the phone (similar to original Galaxy S). There is also a lump where the rear camera is.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Well, I will not flame this question, but will merely state that as an average from the center its probably 8.49 mm. The thickest point being the bottom where the bulge is, might take it to 8.74 mm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techno79:
@dhruvmalik: Thank you for taking the question seriously. I was actually thinking about a home project where I needed an Android based smartphone that would fit in a 9mm slot. If the phone's spec was 8.49mm at it's thinnest part and over 9mm at it's widest then this would not cut the job hence the question. It's a shame that other people need to respond with flames and tarnish the friendly reputation of this forum site :(. Until just now, I've experienced nothing but high levels of helpfulness.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWarKeeper:
sorry i cant find any info regarding that, just that is 8.49mm thin.... im betting at its thinest point
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
No problem, but for the future sake, it might be helpful if you state that you need specific requirements as far as fitments and hence you are asking such a question.

Otherwise it just makes you look silly to find out whether this phone is 8.49 MM or 9.0 MM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techno79:
Yes, I will certainly be doing this next time. It's a shame such explicitness is needed to avoid mockery.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] automaddux:
new to rooting and flashing roms. there is onw problem I am having. When I flash a rom gps suddenly goes out the window, none of the indicators pop up in the notification bar, maps and navigation have a problem finding my location, and most of the time my phone doesn't know where I am. Now if I unroot back to stock everything goes back to normal which is weird to me but what I would like to ask the community is that, What can I do to fix this issue? Do I need to flash a fix or is there nothing I can do?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I'm sure you've already done this but you did go in to your location settings menu and checked the ones that apply? I haven't heard of this and it must not be a hardware issue if it works fine on stock..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] automaddux:
that's what I thought... honestly I haven't tried all the roms (mostly just the stock roms) but I have flashed at least four, all with the same results. I would just keep it stock so I have a fully working phone but the only unrooted flash I know of is on the Unlockr site which will unroot it back to 2.1 and I don't know if I can live that far in the past
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] automaddux:
The other weird thing is in locations there is an option for location on and E911 . The E911 is checked on and it says that E911 cannot be checked off on any mobile device. Ask the other times it gives me an option. I am currently running Magnolia Final's latest version
