Never thought 2/3 of the posts were all related to name bashing?? Anyways, almost and always the laggyness is cuased by updating while opening the apps. True, but xbox live is the exception. When i'm seeing my avatar, i waited for the update to be gone and it's still laggy when i swipe to the right. And i'm pretty sure it's the old cpu/gpu we use. If not, it's not being coded right. As for the smartdial, i just use voice command more when i want to call someone. Just takes 1 tap to open up the voice command and its fast and simple~ Overall almost eveything has been updated to run faster with mango update but small portions have been downgraded due to the limited hardware capabilities =[

I would love to see today's weather on the lock screen though!
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Some people like Justin Beiver.

Does not make it good.

A phone should not make it easier to get to your Facebook feed than it is to get to the dialer. Its bad design.

Not even worth debating, since you people make every bad thing seem like a.miracle to pass us off as haters.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
Us people?

I had android the past two years, just had this phone a week now..

just with android I was used to downloading 3rd party apps to rectify things I didn't like so I don't see it as a huge issue.

Not everyone is going to be happy with every part of the design, that doesn't make it bad design overall imo, just bad design for you.

I like it because I call the same people usually so it takes me right there and I just click on their name.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Like I said.

A phone should not make it.easier.to get.to the Facebook feed than yo get to the dialer. Its bad design.

What you like doesn't matter (always a common way to justify things here, though). They design the device for more than just you. This is the only smartphone OS which does this.

I'm going to just repeat that, cause its on topic and the only thing that matters to me in tgr context of this discussion.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
Considering how smartphone usage in these modern times encompass more than just making phone calls, in fact - I think its almost safe to say more people use their smartphones to check social networks than to dial a number! Hence your argument that it should not be easier to access Facebook actually fails.

I have had this phone since launch and rarely miss the smart dialer because I tend to dial the same people regularly! Now that may not apply in your case however it doesn't mean its bad design per say- just an evolution of design as people's phone usage patterns adapt. Smartphones aren't just phones, in fact It can be argued that the phone aspect is probably not its the most used feature!

Let me also just say that I am NOT against smart dialing. In fact I was happy to see smart dialing apps in the marketplace.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Lol. Wow.

I didn't say anything about smart dialing. Microsoft are the ones who were raving about how they focused in. The details.

The phone app is subpar and the calendar is terrible.

I didn't say I wanted unverifiable futuristic dialer from 2020. I said I want the phone to go straight to the dialer, like every other phone in the market, cause I shouldn't have to tap twice just to get to a dialer on a phone.

It's pretty simple, makes sense, and is an inexcusable design blunder regardless of what your opinion may be.

I don't understand why y'all feel such a need to argue about something so simple and so obvious.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
you're the one being so arrogant that even though we say that some people, like us,like the design, you imply that your opinion is the be all end all on os design.

We offered a solution but again, more complaints.

I think you're just an annoying troll personally
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
If you'll do a search in the Marketplace with the query terms, "dial" and "speed dial", you will pull up a lot of choices, some of which are rather decent. For the "dial" query, pick from the auto drop-down menu rather than clicking on to go there.

Among the ones I've tried, I find these speed dialers better:

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/search?q=SpeedierDial

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/9f89d42c-1fb0-47b1-afd8-48c4332d3a50

And among the dial pads, I find these to be acceptable:

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/de3dbdee-6cc1-4395-9b96-df10be4b4500

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/search?q=Dialer@Inspus

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/8f10c0bf-541b-47f5-a07e-1bffc785e7c1

There's a lot to pick from there. But there could be much more, I don't know, because the OEM marketplace search is terrible. You have to be perfectly specific to get results. Rather than being able to type in "dialpad" to bring up all apps relating to dialing, you get a certain amount that are contributed with that specific tag. If you type" dialpads" you get nothing. This is the same for other queries. There's also some results from the query, "phone dialer".

Why the hell in almost every single WP7 thread there are Android users, complaining how bad WP7 is and how stupid the features are?

Come on guys this is getting sick.
[Windows Phone 7 General] moosic:
It should go to the dialer and then you should be able to start searching for someone with the number search that every other modern phone has.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Knochen1981:
Wait n let me get this right.

Android and IOS users can say there is an app for that but wp7 can not ???

regardless its still more tapping, as per the OP. I agree.

Don't see why we can't have both, dialer and recent calls.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Just as an update, I did find this dialer that seems to be the best for startup and convenience.

[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Marty can you post a pic, as this browser sucks balls. It says I need a PC to view the website. Or a link in the market?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I should not need an app for a dialer. Why are you still linking apps. Android has these apps as well but I don't new them because the default stock dialer works the way any dialer should.

I click phone

an I can start dialing a number instantly.

Then I don't new a menu to toggle speakerphone and stuff like that. vvm is integrated, history and favorites are there and there are obvious links to People and Voice Dial. It a smart dialer as well.

The dialer and calendar are the worst parts of this OS. They focused way too much on stuff like the browser and social networks and didn't polish the basics. It's obvious.

The whole point of what I said I lost on you people.

And now crying cause you think I'm saying you can't say there is an app for that. What's is Microsoft shipped without a dialer period and told you to get it from the marketplace? You'd prolly proclaim that ad ingenious.

Needing a dialer app to make up for a weak stock phone app on a smartphone is a clear indicator of an issue, when the problems those apps solve are this trivial.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
You really don't seem to grasp that others like it...

I dont get how you think your opinion trumps anyone else's, and if you think it isn't perfect that means the design is flawed lol.

why do you waste your time coming here to complain?
[Windows Phone 7 General] JC_Agga:
Yes on landscape support in apps to some extent. This os was designed for portrait mode so you wouldn't see much content in landscape mode. But I could see where the landscape mode might be useful. But this is the reason why I went with Dell Venue Pro!
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
These are all the pictures posted on the app's site from the dev.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Then use one of these until MS updates the system to include convenience for more users. All you would be doing is using one of these for a while to get you by, not permanently.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
This is N8ter at his best, what he says is God's word and it has to be like that or it's broken, sucks, useless, or any other negative representation you can make. And if you like it, you're an idiot, retard, lame, uneducated, etc.

I really don't see how anybody can begin to enjoy your conversation in the real world. People like the design how it is, meaning it isn't a "bad" design. I, for one, have used the dialer maybe, MAYBE, 5-7 times in the year I've had this phone. I hit phone, if the person isn't an immediate recent, I hit the search button and dial their name, and call, not that difficult. It works great for me. Maybe in your incredibly busy and professional life where 200 different people call you a day, it doesn't work for you, and that's fine. But, like I've told you, and like many other users have told you, this phone obviously isn't for you, so why do you insist on *****ing about it constantly?
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
To be honest...no intent to start any kind of uproar or argument...I would prefer the phone app went straight to the dialer also. I can live with it as is, but there have been times when I was in a hurry to make a call through the dialer that it would have been appreciated had the dialer immediately popped up rather than finding the the dialer icon in such a rush and it having to initialize. It would be great if there were either a last-page memory or setting that makes the dialer the default page.

EDIT - by the way, I forgot to mention, I did buy that last dialer I linked to. I liked it so much and felt it was worth the $2.
[Windows Phone 7 General] VKris:
I find the omission of direct dialer access and smart dialing as big mistake.

WM was a lousy platform...requiring regular resets. inspite of this, the convenience of smart dialing, Outlook sync for calendar, contacts and tasks were the features that kept me loyal to the OS.

I was waiting long for MS to develop the mobile platform; but was totally disappointed to see they have not included these very useful features.

does that make WP junk......certainly not....but when they are competing with almost perfect iOS and continously evolving Android, this is indeed a mistake.

Hope MS address these gaps in the upcoming updates.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Nah, his preferrence isn't the problem. Obviously different people enjoy different designs and functionality. It's the way he presents his opinions as facts and final words, and the way disagreeing with him makes you inferior. He argued for weeks that Microsoft didn't know how to implement their own chat protocol into the phone or Xbox, saying it shouldn't work like that and it's broken. It just gets tiring to hear his arrogance, especially when he's wrong so often.

The makers of moBudget have a great dialer as well, I've thought of getting it a few times, but it doesn't fit my needs, the stock dialer does. I'm not going to insult those who use the downloaded ones though and say they're enjoying a "broken" design.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
If you take his comments as a personal insult, then you are the one with issues, not him. He never insulted people who find that the current (broken) design meets their needs. Nor did he call anyone an idiot (can you say the same?).

Here's the issue. A design that only works for one class of users, while being unusable for another class of users, is "broken" (i.e., flawed and incomplete). The fact that it works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone. The problem is, it should be capable of working for everyone. Adding an option to have the keypad display by default instead of the call history would go a long way toward accomplishing that. But, every time someone suggests it, you brand them a hater and take their suggestion as a personal affront.

In one of your snarky posts, you even said that adding such an option would destroy Metro, which is so disconnected from reality that I don't even know how to respond to it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
So then by that logic, ios and android are equally broken since they don't provide the option to show the call history first?

We should go on boards about them and complain all day long, even though we could easily fix it with an alternate app?

It's cute his boyfriend came to his rescue though lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
If users of those phones have issues with that behavior, then yes, they should complain until it is addressed.

As for the rest of your comment, consider yourself a) reported (and if I were a moderator, banned), and b) permanently on ignore. You appear to have the mental capacity of an 11-year-old, and I have no use for your childish comments.

This is the only phone that opens to history. IOS and android therefore won't see.thus feedback because no one expects their phone ti open to that view when they tap "Phone". Blackberries go to the dialer too, as well as windows mobile webos, symbian, feature and dumb phones.

No one preferred seeing the history first until I and others posted my issue on this forum. The need for history first on Rhode platforms is negated by the smart dialer for the most part anyways.

Also my post was completely on topic. I dunno why you people feel the need to make every criticism a reason for ww3 on the forums, lol. Questioning peoples sexuality now. Seriously?!

You've become another user that I just don't like, more of the same arrogance and self-righteousness as N8ter. The point of all of this, and I know your "older" mind has a hard time of grasping this, isn't that his preferrence (or yours) is to have the dialer up first, it's the fact that he attempts to make users look inferior for disagreeing with him, he calls designs broken if he doesn't like them, and he believes Microsoft should cater to his demand. You know what he wants? He wants Android. It's ****ing clear, and it's a shame you don't see it. Every thread it's "Android does it like this" and "Android opens like that" - so, go use an Android device.

And to answer your previous post, I've called many users idiots, and I truthfully believe I was being generous with my responses.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
And you call me arrogant. That is irony. What you just posted is perhaps the most arrogant thing I have ever read here. Buh-bye hypocrite.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
N8ter, there's another alternative for you for making calls, texts and all on WP7: Google Voice. I just discovered this amazing program for my iPhone 4 and HD2. I can use one phone number...of my choosing...and have it ring any and all of my phones that have legitimate carrier numbers....has to have a sim and active service, is what I mean. WP7 doesn't have the official Google Voice app yet but does have a perfectly fine indie GV app called Free Talk. I installed it and it works fine. It provides a dialpad and contacts list as well as texting function and other options. I've replaced my OEM phone app and indie phone app with this GV app. Whenever I make calls, receive calls, send or receive texts, voicemail or whatever, I do it through this app. You need to go to the GV website to setup yourself a GV phone number and issue it to all of your contacts. When a contact calls that number, any and all phones with GV activation will ring.

[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I didn't know about freetalk, it'll do. I use Google voice for my business line.

Thanks Marty
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I think it's fantastic, Google Voice, I mean. I have two separate lines and can now give out one phone number and receive calls on either line without carrying both phones with me. And I can make and receive free texts, which would otherwise cost me .10 each through my carrier.

Free Talk worked painlessly right from startup. I didn 't have to do much of anything for it to work on my Focus because the sim in my Focus was registered with GV through my Android'ed HD2, which I was using it in for a little while.

Google doesn't let you disassociate your cell if you want to stop using it. It's also redundant with unlimited SMS, has terrible or no MMS functionality, and is yet another battery wasting service.

I do have two phones, so I just use this one to make calls. It gets better reception and has Louder earpiece than the HD7, anyways.

I typically don't use apps foe services like that unless they're from the 1st Party, anyways.

I have two phones so I don't havbti use cludges like Google Voice :)

Sure they do. I did one tonight. My old T-Mobile number was associate with it and it let me delete it. You have to do it on the website, though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
They only let you change it to another cell phone, which defeats the point. You can't remove the service from your google account either, and even if you delete the google account it keeps forwarding texts and calls to your number even if you delete it and don't freeze it. Already been through this with what google wants to pass off as tech support. I'm not getting into that again ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Like I said, I did delete a phone and there are the delete options for the other two phones it has listed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
When you delete it it makes you associate another phone. Or you can't delete it. You have more than one phone on there, so of course it will let you delete one :)

If you only want to use the cover as a folio and not a stand, this is a great looking case. If you want to use the stand feature you will probably be disappointed.

Hi everybody,

I have a question about GS2 screen:

When I use the camera to take a picture, as soon as I press the shutter key to take the picture, the picture taken appears and then camera is prepared to take the next picture (assuming that review is off); my question:

the picture that appears immediately after taking the picture (which disappears after almost 0.5 seconds) seems to have a better quality from the picture I see in "Gallery" (to be specific, it's "brighter").

When I view the picture in my computer, I see the "brighter" picture , but when I look at it on my device, I see the "darker" one.

I'm not sure if I was able to make my point or not, but in a nutshell: when I review the picture on my device, it's darker than itself (!!!).
