[Windows Phone 7 General] Andrmgic:
She did note that she didn't bother search for anything. She just tried to use the phone without digging into anything.

She didn't know what the hotmail email icon was or how to turn it off.. when it is only 3 taps away.

She couldn't find facebook chat even though it is integrated into messaging.. she just didn't *look* for anything.

Her primary criticisms are completely valid, though.

1. Turn by Turn should not require user interaction after a course is set

2. speech to text should be built more into the OS instead of limited to a few basic functions

3. it is difficult to access skydrive if you're not using it to open office documents or browse pictures. There's no universal cloud access for general purposes made available in the OS.. which is also a valid complaint.

4. It's not very simple to make a playlist in the Zune player.. you can't just long press on a song or an album and add it to a playlist.. you can only generate a playlist from your "now playing" internal playlist (you can save this as a new playlist) or using SmartDJ.

Most of these things aren't a big deal to me. Thankfully there is a "how to" section included in build 7720 for new users to go over the basic functions.

It's very easy to use, imo.. and is laid out in a way that makes sense.. but the average user isn't going to find every single little feature without help.
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
This is supposed to be a professional review. As such, there is a duty to find actual answers and solutions to problems. Sure, it is ok for her to try and do things without reading or looking for help. It is not ok to end a review without providing those answers or solutions.

This is juvenile journalism. It is sad that the current level of technology journalism has regressed instead of progressed. If our current journalists were to be compared to operating systems, they would be somewhere between DOS and Windows 3.1.

Many of the things she stated, as a journalist, were simply poor observations. The statements she made about Zune Pass should make that abundantly clear. She has no clue. I don't care if she is "considered" an Android guru. Who gave her that crown? I would love to go over her Android skills, if I only had that much time. If this review is any indication of her skills, she is a hack.
[Windows Phone 7 General] L337Ware:
Amen! You know this whole thing of being PC on the internet allows some pretty assnine people to become prevalent personlities in the tech scene with almost zero credibility. Just cuse some chick can find the on button on an Android device does not make her a guru.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pfranceschi:
Sorry, but this is not how a professional reviewer works. One thing is claiming that some feature or functionality is not supported on the device. Another entirely different one is to say that it is indeed supported, but it is hard to find or know how to do.

It should have been her job to make sure what she can and she cannot do on the phone, and if it was too hard to find, then say so, but DO NOT say its not supported or that it cannot be done. Shame on her for this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vash_h:
I doubt she used d phone for more than an hour. Hoe can u miss out on those things when ur a techie? D article is biased and no effort was put into it whatsoever.

How ever, android is more straight forward w its 'pc' like interface.. For me, I use a PC almost 10hours a day. Don't want a phone that resembles my desktop.. That's where wp7 cones in.

[Windows Phone 7 General] djanelle:
shades of OJ??

I'm reminded of a certain someone trying on a pair a gloves. He didn't *want* them to fit, so he made it difficult for them to fit, thus "proving" they didn't. Molly seems to be looking for ways to make her WP experience as disagreeable as possible. She wants it to fall short of Android, so she focuses on all the ways its not Android. She's clearly lost some credibility in my eyes.
[Motorola Droid X2] dust.:
Hi all it's me again lol. I wanted to know your guys' recommendations for screen protectors for our wonderful device. I know it's made of gorilla glass and that it's really durable, but I have more of an issue with leaving fingerprints on the screen and not being able to smoothly drag my fingers across the screen and I wanted to know if you guys knew of any screen protectors with more of a

matte

feel. Thanks!

Personally i don't use anything :P
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
If you get the anti-glare ones from Verizon, they definitely help. It gives you a matte look and also takes away some of the "prettiness" of the screen. I bought some because my daughter was making my screen filthy, but ended up taking it off.

I bought some Vizio screen cleaner at Walmart and use it every morning. It's supposed to protect as well as clean, and I've noticed a difference in the amount of smudges everyday.
[Motorola Droid X2] urphonesux:
I use the built in screen protector that came with my otterbox defender. LOVE IT!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] Watercycle:
i got the only matte one they offered in the Verizon store

despite a big ugly gouge at the bottom-left that i could have complained about when the employee put it on it's super awesome

if it takes from the prettiness of the screen, then my eyes are in ruins. :p

honestly if you've ever applied a slight blur filter to really colorful objects(aka ANIME LIKE), then you'd see it actually does favor :D

that and, no-1 likes to clean smudges/have their finger get caught when trying to drag across the screen, really annoying, good riddance smudges + glass finger hold
[Motorola Droid X2] Macguyver:
I bought some 3 pack on amazon for $0.69. Seems to work as good as the $10 ones at the store.

[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
I Have The Clear One From Verizon. It Is Really Nice And Fingerprints Come Off Easily. Only Thing Wrong Is That The Verizon Rep Placed It On Crooked, But It Doesn't Really Matter Because Only A Slither Is Uncovered...That And The Face That I Am Lazy.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
+1 To Being Lazy. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] pdinphx:
I'm on the fence with the whole screen protector thing, too ...

I put a ZAGG on my old HTC HD2 Leo, and had one of the mall kiosk guys put one on my wife's Incredible, but I couldn't get over the change in tactile feel and (what I perceived as) the loss in sharpness.

I dropped my DX2 for the first time last night and thank God it was in a decent case. The phone was unmolested - as was the case (a Yoobao plastic/rubber number that fits over the super extended battery) - but I practically had a coronary. I can only imagine if something had hit the screen on the way down to the concrete ...

Does anyone have personal experience with a screen protector actually protecting the screen from impact? Or do they more or less prevent some of those niggling scratches that inevitably plague the screen over time?

Pj
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
Positive They Only Are Meant For Scratches As There Is Not Strength Or Integrity With A 1/16in Of Clear Flexible Plastic. If It Was Solid Then That Would Put A Whole New Paint Job On Things.
[Motorola Droid X2] pdinphx:
I happened to read the separate thread on ZAGG, which really provided for mixed reviews.

I hate any kind of unnecessary distortion, so I'm a bit reluctant to try another screen protector - especially if the protection provided is minimal.

Someone did mention the Zeinheil Crystal protector, which seems to strike a better balance between scratch protection and clarity preservation. Apparently, these are available in a 3-pack off Amazon for $14.99.

Something to think about, in any case ...

Pj
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
That's Right, I Used ZAGG On My OG And I Dropped It Screen Down On The Pavement And Nothing Got Broken Or Scratched. Only Reason I Have It Now On My X2. Also I Have Never Encountered Any Distortion To Screen Color. No Matter What You Decide It's Cool. I Really Like The Lifetime Guarantee That It Came With. Shoot Me A PM Or Post Here On What You Decide And What You Notice Pros/Cons.
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
Screen protectors do protect from falls to a certain extent. I'm sure if it feel over 10ft and landed on the screen or a pointy piece of something it would crack.

One time I was running in Home Depot (lol) and my phone flew out of my pocket. It hit the floor and then, I unknowingly kicked it another 10 or so feet. It was screen down the whole time and had not a single scratch. I had one of those cheap Verizon ones on too.

Another time I was skateboarding..my phone fell out of my pocket and landed facedown. Thankfully I bailed in midair, so my board just missed it, but my heel did hit it. Luckily, I'm a hurdler, parkourist, and skateboarder so I landed mostly on my toes but I did lean back onto my heels and my screen was fine. That was without a protector.

Earlier this year, I think I threw my bookbag, and my keys scraped against my Droid's screen, it has a small shallow gash now. My phone was naked..no case no protector.
[Hero CDMA General] jivor50:
I have modded hero to 7.1 cyanogen. Got latest Clockwork mod. Phone ESN is set within Alltel mainframe. Go to activate by dialing *228 but no dial pad comes up to hit 1 to activate. So I have downloaded Alltel RUU ROM but no luck in running this. Have Darch recovery. I have extracted .exe using universal extractor and then re zipped to set as a ROM.zip file to try to boot to, but no luck. Basically my MIN is my old number but since I sold I need to change to new number for customer but cant since cant activate or find any information rechanging MIN within cyanogen 7.1. So im basically stuck with a phone that I cant activate, unroot to regular Alltel ROM, change MIN, or whatever else is keeping me from getting this phone active for person who purchased this phone from me. Any help or info trails greatly appreciated. I have looked high and low for fixes. Have been through the file not signed, verification failed route but got past that with toggle from latest CWM. Unfortunately dont have recovery ROM as I paid someone else to get to be able run other ROMs. Thanks for any and all help.

Replaced with Droid Milestone X/Droid X - Alltel still.

I am trying to find themes for Fasty rom. I really like this rom and don't really want to flash another rom. If anyone knows of any themes for Fasty please post. Also if anyone has gotten netflix to work on Fasty please post the apk, ive been looking for weeks none have worked.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fezzy102:
Go to Fastys OP on there he has a link to where you can get themes I think he is just starting on that theme page .very nice rom he does good work.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] voldomart13:
Yeah he does the only thing is im already using the one theme he has on there and i just put this out there because ive seen in a few places where people have made there own modded themes.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fchowla:
I was told that themes from other KB1 roms will work with Fasty, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm on Fusion (KB1) right now, and it looks like there are a few good themes.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] chousue:
I don't know if you got one to work (Netflix app). I just uninstalled the one I restored with TB and downloaded it from the market. It works fine for me now (Fasty 2.4)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] voldomart13:
Did you edit any of the system information? I ask because I just installed the one off the market and im still getting an error saying to check if im connected to the internet and check my time and date settings.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] chousue:
No, I didn't edit anything. Im not that advanced, would be nice though.

I had one saved in TB from some time ago but never tried it... I saw your post and assumed it would fail as well so I just download the one off the market and it worked without a problem.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] chousue:
Try this one, let me know if it works. This one has worked for me in the past prior to downloading the one from the market.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] voldomart13:
It was outdated but thanks anyway. I swear I read of all these people posting that oh i went to 2.3 and netflix worked thats bs i just went to cognition and still nothing.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] chousue:
Sorry it didn't help man. If you're on Cog and it still won't work I don't know what to tell you. I've been able to use Nextflix across a few Roms that I've been trying recently. I gave you an old one I had because I knew for sure that one worked. Sorry man, I hope someone with a little more know how will be able to assist.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] voldomart13:
Netflix now works just straight out of the market.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] snkyjester1:
I'm downloading and hope it works for me. I have had bad luck with it too. Thanks for the app.

Edit: Whoops! I missed the sticky thread. Pardon me.

Hey folks. I've decided to share my Boot Screen. This goes back to the days when I rooted my G1.

There are three versions. The second looks cleaner than the first if your screen is not extremely bright. I've included plain ol' Andro for your modification pleasure. These screens are not animated. However, your phone will boot 3-4x quicker than some other (including stock) animations.

Feel free to modify them as you wish, use it as a background, or animate it to your liking.

To install from your pc:

c:\folder\bootanimation.zip > adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip

Reboot

To install from phone:

-Copy to SD Card, then from terminal

$su

#cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip

Reboot

Yep. Exactly what this guy said. Tell the guy the error you got and he'll fix it up right away.

EDIT: Well, right after I submitted this message a second ago, I looked at my phone and 3G was connected and the error stopped. It lasted for a few hours then resolved itself. Strange.
