[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
So, when a salesperson favors Android or iOS over WP, they are "blind", but when one refers to the iPhone (which is another product they are responsible to sell) as a "tired old" device, they are cool? Gotcha. No hypocrisy going on here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
No when people go in asking about wp7 and the salespeople try to tell them about android instead or say incorrect things about the os they are blind..

Jesus does one positive story about at&t bother you that much?
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
She was obviously a little upset at the lack of an iPhone 5 this year. The slight differences in the 4 and 4s were a downer. She mentioned how she was an apple fangirl until she saw the 4s. Either way, the point was that it's nice to see a knowledgeable rep at att.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Thank you for yet another childish, offensive, utterly ignorant post (which as been reported). Go back to second grade, please.

As for the "one positive story" comment, it wasn't positive. It displayed the exact same kind of ignorant bias on the part of a salesperson that all of the WP zealots condemn every day. But since it was bias AGAINST iPhone, that makes it all OK.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
No, the reason for praise was the fact that att miraculously hired a knowledgeable rep.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Again, favoring WP over iOS does not make one knowledgeable. Nor does favoring iOS over WP.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
that had nothing to even do with it, yet that's all you derive from the story.

Shows your own bias.

It was the fact she actually knew about the os and didn't try to talk him into another os when he mentioned wp7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Ahh, you didn't mention her resentment at first. What I don't understand is what people were expecting to be different with ip5 as compared to the 4s ? A different numeral ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Yes, I have a bias - against hypocrites. The OP didn't say "it was great to find a salesperson who knew about WP", he went out of his way to point out how she called the iPhone a "tired old" device. And he also implied that not favoring WP makes a salesperson "completely blind". That is what raises my ire. It is ignorant and hypocritical.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
I never said or implied any such thing. I merely respected the fact that she was knowledgeable about the device rather than shoving me over to android or ios like every other GSM carrier. Most cdma carriers don't even know they offer windows phones. What you took from it, you took because you wanted to flame bait me. You took one sentence from the entire statement and made it out to be everything. Sadly I didn't recall her sales pitch from memory, otherwise there'd be full chat logs.

I believe with the 4s people were expecting improvements beyond a camera. Their processor still doesn't make it run as smooth as wp7 so I hardly call that an upgrade, and the best software increase is something they bought off of their own market.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Oh really?

Maybe it wasn't your intent to give off a fanboyish vibe, but considering how much fanboyism there is on display in this forum (from both zealots and haters), perhaps you should proofread your posts to ensure they convey the tone you intend, and not something more incendiary.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
If it is my job to sell something, would I not be considered incompetent? Yeah, this Audi is terrible, lets enter my comfort zone with a ford. That Audi is running on steam and therefor is inferior. I never said that I don't have a personal preference, however I believe it was clear that I'm not praising her for hers. It was simply pleasant that someone knew something about that which they were selling. When I tell carriers that I want social network integration, they veer me towards android, that is not the best option. When I had a vibrant and I asked about phones with netflix, they veered me towards the vibrant 4g with promises of "it's coming." The HD7 was readily available. The carriers are generally ignorant assuming that winmo and windows phone are the same thing. When cellphones are your financial income, take the time to learn about them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ScottSUmmers:
Talk about backtracking. I equally suggest that perhaps you look at people's posts more neutrally instead of assuming there is fanboyism in them, which you seem to have done.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.8820:
...ahhh, another feel-good thread crashed by those who ALWAYS show up with negativity....oh well, Happy Thanksgiving folks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Point taken. It seems clear now that z33's original intent was benign based on his clarifying posts, so I humbly apologize for my part in derailing this thread.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drokkon:
Great to see a silver lining to the black cloud of phone store reps. :) I have had my own bad experiences, but there is one rep at my local AT&T store that I seek out every time. When I was first checking out the Focus in January, he was totally stoked about getting the Surround for himself. When I went back in this week to check out the Titan, he pulled the Surround out of his pocket and said it was still his go-to personal phone.

To be fair, he also pulled out an Android and said he was relatively OS agnostic when it came to customers, but preferred Windows Phone for himself.

He'll get all my business so long as he works there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] goldenpipes:
I currently work at a convenience store down the street from a T-Mobile retail location and one of my regular customers is one of the sales reps there, He comes in always bragging about his new Android "what-have-you" and he's always trying to get me to come look at his phones up there. I say i'm happy with my Windows Phone, my Samsung Focus etc, and he tells me "Windows Mobile is garbage."

Either he doesn't know the difference between WP7 and WinMo, or was just busting my chops. Either way he came in tonight and he told me he had a hell of a day, and I asked him if it was busy and what phones were selling, he told me a lot of people were going in to play with the HTC Radar, because they just bought one for free online at MicrosoftStore.com.

So they only had 1 set up on display. He said they had 4 of the same Android, but only 2 WP7 the HD7 and the Radar...

I said why didn't they take some of the android crap down and put up more Radar's.

He said because we're sold out.

I had a good laugh there.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rawb123456:
I have horrible sound recording during videos. My first video was shot in the bathroom and I thought maybe the sound was overwhelming for the mic bit after further review I have noticed that all of mu videos have bad sound. Inside /outside and everywhere in between. Any ideas?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] perryh1:
Video on mines been excellent sound has left something to be desired, guess the real question is what kinda video are you shooting in the bathroom lol jk
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rawb123456:
Hahaha...my 2 yrs twins were in the bath.

That worries me that no one has had an issue. I bought mine off Craigslist and can't return it to the store...I'm sure htc would fix it but I don't want to send it in. Sad face
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Snowdog7:
I've also noticed the sound on mine being a problem. It seems if the sound is too loud, it just turns into static. Does anyone have a solution to this? Possibly a different video recording software that works better than the OEM software on the Vivid?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Longcat14:
Have you tried checking the videos on your computer? HTC has a rep for putting bad speakers in their phones.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Snowdog7:
I've played the videos on the computer with the same results. I just didn't know if there is a setting for equalizing the Mic.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] AnyMal:
It's not just you. Look at the sample videos on YouTube and you'll notice the same poor sound quality on all of them.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rawb123456:
I am starting to think this maybe an audio driver issue or cheap audio hardware. I get poor sound through mu headphones as well. Its not very loud and sounds seem blended together. Missing my infuse and voodoo sound. Sad face
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
I get good sound through the headphone jack as well as the earpiece and speaker but I will agree that sound quality in videos is crap. The mic gets constantly overwhelmed with sounds that aren't even that loud, and in playback that results in momentary muting of the sound altogether.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] minghsuaneva:
Mine vivid seems fine? This situation only happen in bath room? any Video clip showing the sound?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chism87:
Yeahhhh, I'm really disappointed in the video sound quality. I was at the Watch The Throne (jayz and kanye) show a few days ago and got some reeeeally good videos.. However the audio is pure static and white noise. Smh :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Intertrochanterica:
Mine is fine. No better no worse than my i4s was.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mrakifa:
No problems here...works gr8
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gustav30:
Uncheck stereo recording and see if that helps. That's one of the solutions for the Sensation and Amaze. (We suffered the same problems.)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] last_child78:
Same problem

My wife complains all the time that since switching from my iPhone 3Gs to the Vivid she can barely hear me during phone conversations. I have also had terrible luck with the audio on my video recordings. I was trying to record my son's band, and I thought the drums were just too much for it to handle, but I just recorded a very mild piano recital with the same results. The audio playback on both the phone and computer are terrible. It just sounds like it is coming in waves. I hope there is a patch that they can release to correct this problem.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chism87:
I've learned that the BEST way to get mediocre (at best) audio is to use my old iPhone headphones (that has a mic built in).. I'm going to a concert tonight. I'll test out the quality then. I'll post a vid on YouTube if it's up to par.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gustav30:
I actually started using lgcamera from the market. I get consistent 30fps and if you change the sound options to aac, 44100khz, 128kbs it sounds amazing. It's still mono but no more Mic clipping or gain issues. Much better than HTC camcorder with mono audio.

I can finally record my daughter and understand what she is saying. And being at 44khz, sound is great.

I've tried this app about 5 months ago and it wasn't as fluid as it is now. So I'm keeping this version's apk handy. Give it a try since its free. (don't check the enable stereo beta thing...I think it actually records backwards..)

Sent from my HTC Amaze
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chism87:
Damn, I gave it a try. Initially, it'll launch but when I press record it says a failed error message. Then sometimes it freezes when I try to adjust the settings.. Then I force closed it and open it back up and the screen is black. I did a restart with no success.

It might have something to do with me having an htc vivid with the amaze camera apk (via holiraider rom)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathangizmo:
PLEASE HELP ASAP :(

I have a HTC desire S S-OFF rooted 3 days back

I flashed it with Endymion Rom 2.2 2 days back

I was charging my battery and when i saw it after a while it was at 50 degrees C and it was discharging though connected. after unplugging temperature reduced.

I calibrated my battery last night by fully charging it, the charged it again at off state the again when its on then wiped battery stats and charged again. the voltage is a little over 4.2V.

Now i had put it for charge and when i saw it was 85% charged and Temp was 40 degrees C and phone was idle all this while . at 85% it was 4220mV. i was using it while charging and temperature dropped to 38 and voltage reduced till 4214mV and again incresed to 4219mV by the time it was 87% charged. is it heating more when its idle? What is the solution? Is this normal? Please help :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st@matis:
go to set cpu and make a "charging" profile Set it lower than your original clock speed something like 450 mhz
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathangizmo:
Already did it

i Have OC/UV beater and when idle it runs at 380Mhz only and only when its idle i have the problem
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simply dave:
Besides, lowering the CPU, my evo starting doing that esp, when tethering and charging at the same time. I put it on top of a ice pack and that cooled it down. But I couldn't always do that so I upgraded to a bigger battery and I never have that issue now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wenkz:
hi, i have a simple yet effective tip for you, no root or apps needed. you just have to place your phone on a cool surface WHILE CHARGING. I'm placing mine on a Plain Cemented(tiles,clean) Floor, and it doesnt go up more than 35 deg.Celcius. Rationale is because the floor is a good cold receptor, so it always stays cool.

Anyone got same issue with Google voice search under Alpha 3 :(
[TouchPad General] nomadman:
no problem here. searching name or phrases. what can you not search?
[TouchPad General] hki_peter:
I have setting up as English(us), whatever I say, the result always is "mmm"

I have try recording voice at Webos, it is OK, but not working at android !
[TouchPad General] kitsunisan:
Have you tried voice search on another device? Reason I ask is last year I had issues with voice search returning jibberish when I used it, problem was with the voice data they collected getting screwed up online. If voice search fails on another device that's most likely the cause. You can clear the data in your Google account.
[TouchPad General] nomadman:
i think i might have misunderstood you. I use the actual google voice app for texting and I can search fine. there is another app call Voice Search which is completely different.

In any case, Voice Search app does not recognize that I say.
[TouchPad General] hki_peter:
I have not problem on my HTC mobile phone!

What do mean clear data on my Google account? It is remove Google account on touchpad!?
[TouchPad General] hki_peter:

Good to hear that I am not alone ! :p

have you try using "Sound Recorder" app from Alpha 3, It is not working for me as well, the sound record got abnormal playback. the sound record only work on WebOS ! Sad.....:(
[TouchPad General] vinscuzzy:
Google voice search from the market does not work for me either, but.... the mic button on smart keyboard pro does work. It works pretty good, especially if you talk directly into the top of the touchpad where the mic is. Just thought I'd let you guys know. FWIW the voice recording app ALSO works for me. it sounds a bit muffled, but it does record and playback legibly.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceTrader:
Try formatting it through a computer.

OR

If you do a factory reset from stock recovery, it will format the SD card also.

But then you have to setup all the things again
[Samsung Infuse 4G] badhobz:
I still have my busted up infuse that keeps getting a no carrier message. It's not the sim card as I have tried this sim in my other phones and it works fine. The imei is also missing so I'm pretty sure I deleted the efs some of how... How do I fix this?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Sarius24:
Do you have a backup of the EFS?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jmatt78:
Lol. Didn't catch that. Just call her provider and tell them that ur not able to get online they will run u thru tests and find ur imei is missing
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
if you remount the EFS RW and simply delete all the files in there it will work fine. You must have a valid EFS partition for anything to work. Deleting the data on the EFS reverts your device to a default IMEI and I think it's carrier unlocked as well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] badhobz:
wow thanks for the insight but im not exactly too sure how i remount the EFS RW. I have root manager and i reflashed the rom back to stock rogers with the partition and everything back to original. Should i just re-root it and then delete the EFS ? where is the EFS folder anyways?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] PlayStation:
Someone with both a SG2 and Note please help me out here. I found a SG2 Leather pouch and bought it for my SGS+. The pouch I am referring to is reviewed here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...18-official-samsung-leather-pouch-review.html

The pouch is much bigger for my SGS+ which is has same dimensions with SG2 and was wondering whether perhaps it might fit the Note. Even my mighty HD2 is small inside this pouch. My Note wont arrive for another 2 weeks and I am really hoping that I will be able to use this beautiful pouch. By the way I took measurements of the case and it appears to be exact same size as the Note lengthwise so I am assuming a little stretching might do teh trick..... :D Thickness should be ok and width too no big deal as its a simple taks of moving the folding part a little further. ;)

[Defy General] zakoo2:
Hey guys! I need some experts help! Me and some friends bought 6 batteries (of the same type) for our defy (heres the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2300mAh-BF5X-Battery-Motorola-Defy-MB525-ME525-MB52-/250879839250), which are preformance-wise really good (they last 2 days with heavy use easily), BUT the phone recognizes it only as 500mah (according to /sys/class/power_supply/battery/uevent). This means the battery drains to 1% in 5-6 hours, but can last 1.5 days on 1%. Tried calibration with battery calibration (from market), cwm, and even tried 'hard' calibration (fully charge phone, switch off, pull out battery, plug in charger, put in battery again), nothing helped. Can somebody point me to the location where the battery information is stored in the system, so we could write an app to overwrite battery readings according to the voltage (with which the percentage can be calculated pretty accurately, max: 4.2V, min: 3.3-3.4V)? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx in advance!

Anyone having issues with the phone going to sleep and not waking up? Happened last night and I had to remove the battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rawkode:
I've had this twice now. Both times after using Spotify, probably purely coincidence though. Battery pull and everything is OK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Most likely something that you have installed on your phone isnt liking ICS. Hard to narrow down if you have alot of apps installed.

I have had mine for 6 days now and not had a single Sleep of Death and I havent seen too many comments about it so I dont think its a problem with ICS directly.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Good point.

Wonder what app it is :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SweetPAIN225:
Happened to me too! My phone was ultra hot too! I had charged it over night with my computer. can anyone who had this issue confirm it was through computer charging?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Nah was via wall power.

Wonder if its SetCPU stalling my phone as ive got it to drop the CPU speed right down when screen is off
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SweetPAIN225:
Thanks! I made a wrong assumption!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Jeez man you think you might wanna test that out before you post that there's an issue with your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Exactly, it is way way too likely that turning your CPU down will result in 'Sleep of death'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Well its still worth noting. SetCPU never did this on my DHD ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
I had exactly the same thing last night, I even made my own thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360847&page=2

I even wrote a simple app for logging the battery temperature and time, so I'll leave it on next night and I'll see what happens. Because I'm pretty sure my phone switched off due to overheating, as it was really,really hot in the morning, after I switched it on the battery was at 46C.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] columbo:
I'm afraid I can confirm that I have experienced the same "sleep of death" problem twice now. I can't remember what I was doing the first time, but the second time I was only browsing and I know I didn't have any apps installed because I had previously reset my phone. I've only had the phone for two days now and if it does it again I might have to send it back.

I expected a glitch or two, but with the volume bug and other annoying things like the lack of flash and poor camera quality, I'm beginning to regret my purchase. Although I love the ice cream sandwich experience, I'm now thinking of getting the Galaxy Note instead, and waiting for ICS to arrive on that next year. At least then I will be able to watch iPlayer in the meantime.
