Hey, thanks for the reply!

I tried to go to: 4ext.net

and download the "4EXT Recovery Updater", but it won't run on my phone, it force closed every time I try to do anything in the app. It is in SU. Are you sure this works on the Fascinate for Verizon?

Did you install it a different way?

So, I went to my local AT&T to see if screen protectors were in yet for the Samsung Focus S and also asked if they had the Titan to which the rep replied "No and No." Now, keep in mind that the AT&T wp7 lineup was in the cut of the store hidden within a mass of other Androids. So, being the WP7 hype man I tend to be, I had to have a chat. Below is the convo:

"I really wish you all promoted your WP7 phones more BC they are amazing."

"Yeah, well I HATE the wp7 devices and couldn't wait to get rid of the focus I had," she replied.

"How could u hate it? I had the focus and it was a really great phone. I mean, you can't tell me the features it has aren't pretty freakin cool," I replied while clicking on my wife's tile to show her the immediate options it had.

"Yeah, I know what they do. I just didn't and don't like it. I feel like wp7 is just trying too hard to be like Android. I mean, it doesn't even have close to any of the popular apps that the Android has," she said

"Actually, they have a great selection of many of the most popular apps."

"You're serious? Come on, I mean, they don't even have the most popular app in the world, Angry Birds," she said followed by a smug-filled laugh.

"Uhhh, sorry to be the one to break this to you, but the windows phone got Angry Birds back in June"

"Well, it wasn't there when I had it. Either way, the windows phone will aways be playing catch-up to the iPhone and Android. That's just my opinion."

"It's cool to think whatever you want, but dont you think you should be a little less bias to a particular device when you are supposed to be selling/promoting multiple brands?"

"I'm not bias, sir. I tell every customer about all our phones."

"But, you didnt even know Angry Birds was on wp7, which has been available for almost 1/2 a year. If I were looking to buy my 1st smartphone and told you I liked the Samsung Focus S, but that I would only buy it if it had Angry Birds, you would have diverted me elsewhere based off inaccurate information."

"That's untrue"

"OK...thanks anyways"

And, folks, that's why Microsoft has had so mucn trouble selling their OS. Too many talented (insert sarcasm) wireless reps giving bad info
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.8820:
It's a growing theme, yesterday was launch day for the supposed partner of WP7, yet 80% of the stores didn't have any, 95% of the staff hadn't heard of it (one poster said an AT&T rep told them it was a Verizon exclusive lol), and most still tried to sell people iPhones and androids.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
Why don't you apply for a job at AT&T Wireless?

You can kill a few birds at the same time, and set an example here - then many of your fellow wp7 fans would follow...

Obviously, *****ing and moaning about it in the forums has little effect, the situation is as dire as it was exactly one year ago when wp7 hit the market.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.8820:
....a fandroid has wandered into the WP section again trolling....what a surprise. I guess I should wander over there and say it doesn't matter, Microsoft is pimping ****ty, lagging, hanging, crashing trash that is Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
Same thing happened with the focus s launch in chicago and I posted my thoughts about it

And the lack of fanfare for any other place not named new york

Right now, the advertising budget, the blitz, I see it in Europe and very strong. But in America, it's dryer than...well a dry hump. It's rather bad
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
Though when you think of it, android had the same thing against iPhone, and in the end popularity won it favor.

I'm sure over time wp7 will have the same thing happen
[Windows Phone 7 General] creamy:
Nice snipe pal, you really are a keyboard warrior.

One question though, are the droid forums really that boring that you have to come here to take pointless pot shots at others? i mean the guy was only trying to make a point about the marketing of a product.................. Mother would be proud.
[Windows Phone 7 General] StriderNo9:
This type of thing happens all the time, and will continue to until MS, or OEMs start marketing the phone properly. The more people see these commercials and ads the more they will ask in stores about the phones, forcing lazy reps like that one to actually do their homework. At this point, she barely ever has to answers questions about the phone so she has no need to do her job right.
[Windows Phone 7 General] comeradealexi:
XDA Developer members would make the best Sales reps :D

At this point, its more than a marketing problem.

I didn't realize I was *****ing and moaning. But, yeah, great idea. In fact, how about this, I'll drop out of medical school to join AT&T. And, then I'll work hard so that I'm promoted into corporate and then CEO, at which point I'll make sure that whatever new device you personally buy is discontinued just so you can continue to be as angry at the world as you already are at this present moment in your unfortunate existence.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drokkon:
Thanks...this is almost the exact same experience I had. Funny that both were girls, because I thought that they'd appreciate the UI even more than most guys (of the six WP7 users that I've converted, 4 of them have been women).

Anyway, mine was over the summer, and she had the Focus and said "I can't wait to get rid of this thing." A particularly weird comment to make to me, a customer who had just walked in and asked to buy a Focus for my wife, no questions asked, because I loved mine so much.

She went on and on about how much Facebook sucked on the Focus, but couldn't even tell me if she was talking about the Facebook integration or the app itself.

I was getting too irritated, and was close to asking for another salesperson (the one who sold me my Focus wasn't there, but he was stoked about WP7 and was excited to buy the Surround for himself), so I didn't pursue questioning her further about why she hated her WP7 so much.

On a side note, my 18 year old stepsister is one of those people I converted, and she hated her WP7 at first too, because it didn't do all the things her friends were doing on Android—custom ringtones, swype, video MMS, etc. etc. Fast forward almost a year, and she absolutely LOVES her Focus and totally stunts it in front of her friends.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
its a lot of things but many of the issues (carrier biases, lacking promotion, PRICING) is really hurting Windows Phone

Proper marketing can do wonders for any product.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:

[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
They've been marketing for a year straight, free xboxes, discounted phones, constant ads, tons of sponsorships. What more do you want?
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
I haven't seen a single commercial or ad.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gamefrick:
It is amazing and sad at the same time how many ignorant mobile phone sales reps are out there in these stores.

Its almost as if its a plot to gradually wipe the phone out of existence but I don't think there's any stopping this phone.

I have said before, if you go to most carriers website, WP7 products have the highest ratings. We have hit over 1,000,000 likes on facebook, and with Nokia and Samsung getting on the action more, it MUST succeed!
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
You can call me whatever you like, I find it hypocritical to turn your blind eye on and call whoever disagrees with your views fan*

As I said, there is more crying about the whole thing than actual actions - it's like MSFT turns back on all of their fans - announce $500 million budget on marketing at launch, and make it a no show.

As I said it's the same story as the last year.

You can call me whatever, but I find it pretty hypocritical to not accept outsiders, and not consider their opinion. If you want your platform to succeed you should change the attitude towards outsiders.

A personal revenge, i.e. I'll make sure that whatever new device you personally buy is discontinued just so you can continue to be as angry at the world as you already are at this present moment in your unfortunate existence., will not get your brownie points as a CEO.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
In a way I like owning a phone that not everyone and their dog has...

Makes people more impressed when they actually see it, and I don't feel like a sheepie lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] Nophix:
I have to give MS credit, they have come a long way. I was pretty excited for WP7, and even bought 2 launch phones, a Surround and a Focus. I really wanted to like them, and for the most part I did.

My gripes were small, but deal breakers. One, Zune software was just not very good. Don't get me wrong, iTunes bites too, but it was far more robust than Zune at the time.

Two, and the big one for me, was poor Bluetooth implementation. I regularly use Bluetooth headphones for media on the device, and it would not stream audio to the headset if I was watching a video.

Honestly, aside from that and the few missing Capps, I really enjoyed my Focus. Its still one of my favorite devices from the last year, with my Thrill coming close second.

If MS has fixed the BT problem, I may yet give them another shot. Oh, and Hulu support. Gimme my Hulu damnit! Lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] gamefrick:
This has always been my stance as well. I always prefer to be the odd man out and not follow what every tom **** and harry has. It is sad to know that the reason for majority of iPhone/Android users out there is just because of word of mouth and the media. Hardly 70% of those users know the next thing about why they have one. The typical answer you would get if you conducted a survey would be astonishing, "Oh! because my third cousin has one" lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
same ****, different stores...

I would say that AT&T Customer Services are all low-tech technican. They don't know **** about phones and OS except you reset the phone, pull out the battery to have the phone to be alive again.

Back to October, i contacted AT&T live Chat Agent,to ask about what frequency they use for HSDPA. Well, the live agent have no clue. She doesn't know a thing about Windows Phone and Titan either. All she has is the address of the local AT&T store near my house.

Okay, i took my titan, went to the store, and the whole bunch of low-tech techican seem to be surprised with the Phone. I gave them the Box and ask what frequency they use for 3G and they don't know either. They ask somebody else at other store and replied to me that i would receive only EDGE/2G only and because the radio version... firmware version... blah...blah....

Now i am on AT&T with Titan and i have HSPDA+ ...

AT&T may support WP7 background, but they fail to realize that they have the most low-tech technican that they can have.

As much as you'd love to weasel out of this as if u didn't reply to original post just to troll, it ain't gonna fly. You jumped on this thread and accused me of *****ing and moaning as opposed to actually adding something to the subject, such as what ur experience has been whe buying a non-wp7 device. Which, of course, would have been more interesting to others rather than telling me to get a job as a wireless At&t rep.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.8820:
Agree with you OP, but let's not give in to the drive-by troll...he wandered all the way into this section looking for a fight and will only get folks banned and the thread closed.....back on topic, I posted about AT&T on the WP Facebook page, we'll see what happens...
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
giving a crap about what anyone replies here smacks of immaturity/inferiority... modeling your life after a phone delusional... and lastly, if you discontinue a phone, how does that change anything about the one in his hand already ?

How'd you make it into medical school ?

If you immediately get upset instead of seeing the points, you'll also never understand why this platform is underperforming. A flamewar here does nothing to the platform. The problem is in the population, not the company, the marketing, or the design. The population is tired of windows, tired of windows related products, just tired of microsoft. The brand is tired, it's time was profitable, and has passed.

I give ms another year to accept defeat. WP7 has been around how long, and still not released sales numbers ? <---- that's the most telling part of all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
its only been around like a year lol

Sick of windows?

It's on like 95% of the computers in the world.

I'd hardly say windows is doing poorly lol

These fanboy posts are funny.

I like android too but come on..

You really come here just to troll?

On another note, I think Windows 7 was so successful that it may hurt windows 8. They're already projecting the iPad to outsell every type of PC.

[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
it's so much easier to call 'troll' or 'fandroid' than to debate points, but i'll play along with the parts that matter:

yes, people are sick of seeing 'windows' logos on things. the people i've talked to anyway.

i didn't say windows was doing poorly, i said windows PHONE was doing poorly. or maybe i was specific enough. that was the part about 'no sales numbers from microsoft'.

none of these points mentioned android, apple, meego, symbian, beos, linux, cobal, pascal, or even torrents of binary packages zipped together. it was only about wp7.

fruedian sub desire for a failing product ? really ? wander off subject or pull excuses from thin air much ?

wait... let me fire up my 4x4 Yugo fitted with Firestone AT's and speed over to Service Merchandise to pick up two gallons of Bush Oil and a Windows Phone because my sub wants it. yes, that's a perfectly sensible thing for a subconscious to desire. yes sireeee.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
much better to claim that because a new os in it's first year didn't have astronomical sales makes it a write off and failure.

I'm sure androids figures weren't through the roof initially either

Check out the Windows Phone 7 Dev Podcast. Around the 46min mark (after the closing music). They called an AT&T store in Dallas and asked the sales person that answered about buying a Smart phone. Its pretty entertaining...

http://wpdevpodcast.com/2011/11/episode-043-ben-the-phone-charity-guy/

For the record, I have a hard time believing they don't have ANY iPhone models in stock. Even a 3GS or 4? When she tried to sell him on LTE/4G when he asked about Excel/Word it was really rediculous. Its like she didn't have a clue and just tried to sell a completly irrelevant feature.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
Audio in Videos using bluetooth is fixed in the new phones. There are some threads here on it.

If you have a phone that it is not working it is easy to fix.

To fix it, it involves editting 1 registry setting.

To do that you just need to install ChevRon and then sideload a reg editor.

LG Phones have a builtin reg editror, so the ChevRon is not needed.

Then you can change it.

Lol..so my make-believe story about becoming the CEO at AT&T came across like I was upset?* In the words of Ace Ventura, "Alllllllllllrighttty then."

Anyway, back to the subject. I agree big time w/ an earlier poster about American ads/promotion seems nothing compared to Europe. And, early predictions are starting to pop up that Nokia's first release was a huge success over there.

On a side note, I'm not sure if anyone else watched Monday night football, but Windows Phone def seemed to have had an ad every other commercial break, so this may be the beginning of a holiday push. It will def be a win for Microsoft if HTC and Samsung bought airtime for the Turkey Day NFL games. If Microsoft can get cell phone carriers to get their reps on board for this Holiday season, it will be huge, considering how popular the phone is via word of mouth. It's at that point here in the states that word of mouth isn't going to cut it anymore. I think wp7 is at that hump where one successful holiday season is all that's going to be needed in order to get the OS to the next level in regards to consistent sales numbers every season

Iphones do sell out from time to time. Black Friday is coming, they're flying off the racks now.

@46 minutes it really was funny. The saleperson wasn't very informed, but was definitly going to push lte. She's no engineer lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
That's a crucial point, and I dont see that happening, ever. There seems to be an unnatural hatred for WP7 and anything Microsoft-related among US carrier store reps, which sadly is not going to go away anytime soon. Even more inexplicable when you consider that the majority of them are just part-timers with little to no knowledge of the platform. That means anyone who is genuinely interested in WP7 but puts any amount of faith in the store rep is going to be led away from buying one. We've seen it time and time again, even with the newest devices, and until WP7 is given a fair and balanced showing compared to the competition that will never change.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
it's a lot to do with bad timing..

It is fighting against two very established operating systems that are selling like hotcakes, that the employees are already very familiar with.

Hence to boost their own figures they sell what they know.

Honestly, that's enough for me to look at it again.

Otherwise, I liked the ease of use. Everything flows very well, and xbl integration was cool.

It would be nice to see beats audio show up on some new tabs coming out. I know a few phones have it like the htc rezound, wouldnt you think it would fit perfectly for android tabs?
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
I don't care for it much regarding the headphone jack and that's where it's normally implemented in these devices. I use my tablet speakers 100%.

On the HP Touchpad, I really can't hear much of a difference in the speakers in terms of being "better" than the Iconia. So I can only assume it's the earphone jack that uses it. The speakers do get the benefit of the software on the Touchpad, and it sounds very slightly more clean if that makes any sense, but that's about it.

The headphones too don't sound that different from any other device, but that may be because I have a $75 pair of earphones. Maybe it'd make all the difference if I used some Beats brand headphones. At this point, I prefer wireless (Bluetooth) so that's what I spend my money on.

If they do it for the speakers, that'd be nice and I'd be interested in hearing the difference vs. other speaker systems. But if it's just the jack then it wouldn't help me, and they'd better include Beats earphones as obviously the effect is somehow lost if you use regular ones.

I have a feeling though, that all of this is mostly for marketing. I'm not saying there aren't some engineering differences but I don't think the actual sound it puts out will be as profoundly changed as people think it will (or should) be.

[Acer Iconia A500] Juq:
I own a pair of Beats Audio ear buds, and I prefer their quality of sound compared to the similarly priced Bose and Shure headphones I previously owned. They really make the best out of lossy compressed music files, which is everything when dealing with media on our tablet. Skeptical as I was, I have to admit that Dre endorsed a premium product. In my opinion, a quality audio driver could really utilize the Wolfson chip and produce terrific sound. I would love to hear how Beats Audio effects the sound of our Iconia.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Great post.....kidding.

You prefer them to Bose? Interesting. I've always liked Bose products as you can truly hear a big difference. I'll have to check out some Beats headphones sometime then. They make a bluetooth version which would be perfect for me, but it's $329. I'm not sure I feel comfortable dropping that on a pair of headphones I'll be using mostly during travel, plus I couldn't wear those to the gym. I agree that there's the potential to do it, but from what I've seen and heard the results are underwhelming. I also checked out Beats Audio on some of HP's newer laptops and it's somewhat better than normal speakers but isn't that great.
