Seriously?? I'm unrooting right now to send mine back. It takes all of 10 minutes. No slower than flashing ROMs.

It's a hardware defect 99.9% of the time. You're foolish to not take advantage of warranty replacement while you have it. Come on, man!!
[Thunderbolt General] JBAeroEngineer:
If they'll do it in the store, sure, I'll get around to it. Sometime before April.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
Call them up and tell them that it only works if you press it in with a pen, or if you basically use all your strength just to get it to register as a "push". You shouldn't have to do anything extra just to get your phone to turn on. They tell you to go to the store because they were some lazy ass rep who didn't want to do anything. Just call back, politely explain that it's almost impossible to turn your phone on because of the power button situation (throw in some good acting skills too), and that you would like a replacement as the phone is still under warranty. If they say no, ask to speak to a supervisor, explain again, and they will replace it for you.
[Thunderbolt General] blueis300:
Ok new phone on its way. He also said a new software update was coming today(lol). They are really limiting the time you used to have for returning the phone. Used to be 15 days I think and now down to 5 days.
[Thunderbolt General] blueis300:
They dont use fed ex they used usps hmm never seen that. Well the one I got was just as bad as the one I sent it so they are sending another one. I used to be able to use my case with it but these refurbs suck.
[General Questions and Answers] vetvito:
Only time will tell.

I completely understand your point. Why should they use another service when all of their friends are already on Facebook?

I personally believe people will move on just because its new. No social site stays number one. MySpace got old, Facebook is getting old, Google+ will get old, then on to the next one.
[General Questions and Answers] Heyallo:
You will also have people who will say "Google+ is free, facebook is going to be a paid service soon" to justify the reasoning behind trying it.
[General Questions and Answers] Nakazul:
Thnx for reply, a good point i havent thought of. And i bwlive you, almost :-D

A good service is always a good service. Thats why i belive ao many come up emty handed in the end vs Live. And get enough people abord, its gona be one though nut to crack.

But in that perspective, is Facebook good enough to keep its users? While i agree, only time will tell, and also Google to have almost unlimited time, a large base is a large bas.

Thnx for the ideas Vetvito, it gives a nice perspective. Keep em coming folks, educate me, cus i think its a inttressting topic, and its easy to want to know what you all think when Androis fans and fan site is allready giving praise. And while we all have to accept change, have these people now rapping down on Facebook give this a thought? Im not saying there wrong, but maybe a bit over the top poaetive, maybe because its Google? So many loves that company nowadays.
[General Questions and Answers] Nakazul:
Aha, another valid point. And if it's thrue, i give Google + a automatic win. Do you say this because its a fact, or just that Google fanatics will talk that way?
[General Questions and Answers] vetvito:
Another thing Google+ is integrated with Gmail. It doesn't require another sign up. I'm pretty sure they're going to bundle it with Android, and that should push Google+ forward.
[General Questions and Answers] Nakazul:
Yes thats thrue. Gmail is a big hit, so intergration would win them a lot of customers.

Is Gmail the service that will make Google + big then?
[General Questions and Answers] Nudua:
Personally I got pretty annoyed when they automaticly added Buzz to my gmail accounts.

I have no doubt Google+ will get they're fair marketshare, but I don't see that happening untill they open it fully up to the general public and keep it less bloated/spammy like facebook has become.
[General Questions and Answers] jimbo77:
Hi There!

I think you have a really valid point by saying the history is repeating itself. Let me give you one personal example...

A few years ago here in Guatemala there was this really big time fever for the "Hi5" webpage... EVERYBODY had an account on it, then just a few friends receive an invitation to join Facebook and it started to grow slowly but steady...

Bear in mind here in Guatemala we are not always up to date with technology and stuffs but in a matter of 6~8 months the Facebook took at least 90% of the HI5 users.. Nowadays i can tell you only a really tiny portion of people still visits their Hi5 profiles.

So all this Google+ buzz is also being herd in Guatemala and a few of my friends already are joining the network, why? Because Facebook is getting bored and it's becoming a site that people look into to see what you can get and gosip all the way, the reason why FB is still strong here is because two of the 3 cell phone companies have some "Media" plans in which for a really amount you can have "free" and "Unlimited" visist to FB, Messenger, GTalk, Yahoo Messenger etc... So i think if those companies include Google+ or switch from FB to Google+ into their Media Plans it will have the same destiny as facebook had against Hi5..

Well those are just my thoughts and my 2 cents in this matter, and of course only time will tell what's going to happen :)

J!M
[General Questions and Answers] Nakazul:
Nice to hear your thoughts all. Sounds so far that your theory is the same as i have on Mobile OS's. iPhone came, in the end a big hit. Android came and it seems like a bigger hit. Now Windows Phone soon will be knocking on the door. New OS's that innovate on a large scale tend to be the next player.

A thought about Facebook getting boring for people sharing there everyday life. Isnt that what its all about? Am i missing something here? I can see the point of all these games and stuff, it annoys me real bad. But people seems to love it. All my friends play games on Facebook. Me loving "real" games would rather die then touch thouse =P

Another question rises if Google + will take over. Can they really? I as a Microsoft user, and fan like to have axess to social media also. But since Google systematicly seems to try to block us out from there service, with Gmail being the only one standing out that works great on my Windows Phone (Weee a MS lover using competitors services! =P ) were still blocked by Google on, for instance, youtube.

What will we do then, where will we go?
[General Questions and Answers] spoland:
There a few different reasons as to why I'm switching. First of all, Facebook seems to be buggier and buggier every day (even on multiple computers) and they continue to come out with more features (video chatting). They should STOP, fix the bugs, and then continue with growing. And as someone else has said, no social networking site will stay #1. Facebook is old now, it's been overused and now it's time for something else. With my experience thus far with Google+, I can say that is works very smoothly online and on my phone, way better than Facebook does. How it will act after it goes public is another story though.
[General Questions and Answers] sleeperzzz:
Well i believe that Google+ has a chance to a certain group of people.

I see google as a mixture of Twitter & Facebook. But in a simple skin.

It has the following like system with it's circles but has the structure as a facebook.

Unlike facebook it doesn't come with games,poke,other junk (YET)

So i believe what will happen is the following. People on facebook will be either kids for the games or just visitors to check up on gossip.

Then on Google+ you'll get the more serious groups which would consist out of communities like these, companies.

I personally use it already to group together my company contacts in case of system failure IT based. With a simple click i can huddle with everyone in that circle from all companies searching for a solution. And it being perfectly integrated with your phone gives it a +. Not that FB or Twitter arn't perfectly integrated but to some degree the app is perfect crystal clear. Probably also due to it's simple form.

So to sum it up the reason i believe Google+ has a chance is cause of their Simplicity without all the gadgets (yet).
[General Questions and Answers] zavien:
A tentative overview

Well...... i say this having played with google plus for about a week now i strongly believe the platform that is still in beta will *EVOLVE* simply because google is trying to truly dominate the social market. The fact that google is (no tthat facebook is not) a truly innovative company, and are willing to actually incorporate a number of changes to suit the end user, simply because in the end google is for self, and we the end user are what power the 'self' or entity that is google.

Lets start with the beta structure; first the way the modem of communication is far more elaborate than FB. Their already starting out adding video chat (which puts them to head with skype) where you can create 'huddle' so u can interact with multiple user at the same time. In addition you can 'invite' people who are not even g+ users to the conversation whether they have a web/front facing camera or not, in addition you can still communicate with voice option. There will be bugs to work out with vocal overlap issues of course but we are still in beta, which is one of the reasons why it's still not too google (;p) scale as of yet. I would say the whole chat situation will cause a stir in it self since it's intergrating so much of jump. Although it's not new the way they are coupling all of them together is innovative in it self.

Then of course you have circles (FB has list) in which the time consumption of ordering is by far reduced. The good thing about those is you can truly control the end user feed, meaning you control which of your circles see what you are posting at all times. So if you do not want your family seeing your weekend hobbies, you 'do' have that ability (i for one will add family members to profile now). Also stream segmentation, we all have different groups we're more privy to touch bases with, with G+ you have that option as well by isolating the streams that are displayed (in lue of FB's 'scroll down a list of b.s looking for what you wanna see or gong to each page individually) which instantly sky rockets manageability of your page.

Seriously i can keep on going and break it all down even further but that would be far too time consuming this late at night. But all in all G+ will spurn FB to make several radical changes or be ripped to shreds by the ever growing jaws of google. G's youth makes it appealing and their teams are young so they can relate to us more than most, not that FB and MSFT but their not supplying the product that we desire as the big G is. Android platform justifying that claim, although windows is reinventing them selves and apples in the midst of a make over as well, we can just say..... Daddy Googles keeping them on their toes.

Thats just a piece of my mind being a junior member but my thoughts are my thoughts. Please let me know what you think!!!

hi

u cant edit the poll it needs to be removed and then u need to create a new one if u want it removed send me a PM and ill do the needful:)

Note : Moving this to general
[LG Optimus 2x] nasen:
thx for offering your help. if the poll gets too outdated, then we can think about it again. for now I think there is no need for it. adding and deleting the poll, everytime a new rom comes out, would be to much.

and regarding the post move.

sorry if i posted it at the wrong place.

Maybe i see this from the wrong side, but even its a general question, I thought next to all the roms, it would fit better in the developer section. So if someone sees a rom, he can quickly look at this poll, to get a quick overview, without jumping back into the general section. maybe we can make it sticky or something? :)

Been using MIUI and I can easily say it's the best ROM I've ever tried, on any Android phone. Never had the opportunity to try MIUI before until now and its just perfect. Fast, stable, awesome battery life and I especially like the stock apps that have been modded. Like the SMS app. Built-in backup is also sweet. MIUI is one fine rom. Give it a try :)

so i´ve tested miui (thx!) and i must say, i have an android phone for a reason...

it is well designed and d**n, has got the fastest boot sequence i´ve seen on any rom (10sek?), but if i really wanted an iphone i would by one...

at the second i opened the search, i hit restart and restored my nandroid backup.

just my opinion :)
[LG Optimus 2x] droweed:
if you know enough, surely you'd just change the launcher, and you wont be stuck with the iphon'ish look dont you think? youd still have the great mods/tweaks offered by miui but loose the iphone look :)

am using the miui unofficial build and i must say, this is how it should've been from the start, minus the iphone look :)
[LG Optimus 2x] nasen:
yes i changed the launcher, but i still had this iphone look in some places (settings, some icons?). maybe i did something wrong, but i wasn't pasioned enough to look over it. it's really good designed and again, the boot sequence is awesome (how did he do this??) but for now i'm switching between cm7 nightlies and BlazingDragon and i somehow like it more :)
