The only dictionary I have is from before America broke off from Britain so i still use words/phrases like:

Hello instead of "Waz up home-diggity."

Good-bye instead of "Peace out."

And "more stupid" instead of "more stupider."

I think I need to update my dictionary, Google's not even listed in mine yet!

OK, that does it! This is turning into an unnecessary flame war. One more offensive comment from any of you and I will close this thread and send the culprit on a one way trip, all expenses paid to Bansville for a full week.

But there's no statistics saying who's buying them. You think because it's all childish that children are the ones that are buying them. I know plenty of older people that enjoy them. High amount of sales doesn't mean kiddies.

:)

Thanks for the encouragement, but I will be receiving my Masters Degree in Psychology this Saturday. Also, you may need to look into "Spoiled Child Syndrome" (as well as recent theories of Entitlement and Narcissistic generations).
[Off-topic] rorytmeadows:
Please don't close the thread! We're talking about how Nintendo needs to get back on track before they start losing in the video game market!

Take it out on the poster in question not everyone!!!
[Off-topic] :
o.o Have I not been arguing that this WHOLE time? I said it wasn't for middle ages. :/ And yes, their market is aimed toward children. It may not be written on a piece of paper on your front door, but it is. No adult plays a DS. They buy it for the kids. No teen wants a DS. As you said, maybe teenage females, but it all boils down to what I've been saying yet again. No males in the middle ages want one. MOST of their games are family/child oriented. That's just what how it is.

LOL.

You claim to be receiving a Masters degree, that's funny. Spoiled Child Syndrome? That has VERY little to do with giving children a lot of gifts at Christmas and on birthdays. It's a form of cognitive child abuse where you fail to teach your kids right from wrong and top expect rewards no matter what form of action they take. As for your other two "recent" theories, they are not very recent at all. In fact, they are very old. I don't believe the Narcissistic Generations theory even exists. I could be wrong, though. There are many, many, and I'm attempting to learn towards more Criminology along with Forensics so I've drifted from.... general would be best put word.... psychology. Entitlement Theory does not relate to narcissism. AT ALL. You need to sue your current college, they are misinforming you quite horribly, friend. =]

However, we are here to discuss Nintendo, not psychology. That's something better fit in a P.M. If you would like to continue this conversation, feel free to P.M. me.

On the subject at hand, that's what I've been saying all along. It's generally older people and younger kids who actually prefer a Wii. My original statement was it doesn't apply to about 18 - 28 aged males. Which probably have the least about of interest in gaming because of the major shift from childhood to adulthood. I use childhood very loosely, of course. I do as well adulthood. =]

Look, I'm with you. Nintendo really seems like it's been going down. I understand what you meant when you said hours on Goldeneye and Mario Cart. However, statistics show they are VERY successful, and failure does not really show itself in any near future.

Thread Closed

All,

Whilst this thread has been an interesting read ( :rolleyes: ) the discussion is more than 60% off topic with the occasional flame and curse thrown in.

Now that a third moderator (me) has had to make comment on this thread, it is clear to me that such rants, whilst useful in letting off steam, can easily turn into a flame fest and at the end of the day wholly off topic and purely subjective.

All things being equal and considering the above, it is reasonable for me to close this thread.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Tim.

Sorts the issue of having the missed calls, facebook peeps and all sorts of nonsense on the "phone" (big green button) menu

brilliant app,
[HD2 General] EfiniX:
It happened when I attempted to setup exchange sync for my google account. Friggin thing shows 2 unread messages on the home screen and it WON'T go away. I deleted all of my e-mail accounts and the active sync profile with no change. Soft reset, hard reset and still no love.

Any suggestions?

Also I love Dutty's HG rom, but there's now no voice dialing. It would seem as though there isn't a way to put it back on unless I go back to the original ROM that shipped. Is that correct? I can't seem to find a concensus on a decent replacement program.
[HD2 General] myth1001:
Try going to email tab > Inbox > Inbox again on the top left

Check if there's any unread mail there.

How do I keep the phone on all the time to play music or navigate when connected to the car charger?
[Desire Accessories] Krpano:
The music keep playing even when the screen goes off.

And i believe if you are using some navigation software, it will stop the phone from turning off the screen by itself.

If you really "want" to keep the screen ON all the time, you can download some widget to do the trick.

Curve Fish has one, you can set the timer: 15s, 30s, 1min, 2min, 10min, 30min or Off (no turn off)
[HD2 General] iSEX:
So, unfortunately on my way to work this morning at 5:30 am, while on the train my phone was grabbed out of my hand by a teenage boy and then her ran off the train ):

All i was doing was silencing the alarm, he timed it perfectly. SMDH

Well, i spent all AM calling toll free # to toll free #. T-Mobile/Microsoft/HTC.

What i do not understand is how NONE OF THEM were able to track the phone for numerous reasons (allegedly)

Esp. since i was unable to do it via. the Microsoft my phone website.

Also, what is the point of having to report it stolen and file a police report for the claim when I still have to pay the same thing I would if i was neglectful and lost/broke it....?
[HD2 General] iSEX:
Oh sry one more question, why isnt the memory card covered if it came inside the phone?
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
That sucks! It sounds like the kid knew to pull the battery as soon as he got out of sight.

If he's smart, he'll probably leave the battery out for a few days, or only boot up the phone once in the early morning.

Without the battery to power the GPS, the different recovery methods won't work.

If the kid also flashes a new ROM right away, then myPhone will never find it. Not sure about HTC's method, which may include using the unique ID.

There's a cab floating around here somewhere which will email you if someone switches SIM cards on your phone, or if you send your number a special text. This only works if they don't flash a new ROM first though. And it's a little late for you :(
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Memory cards are an accessory and those are never covered :(

On the flip side of that, when your new phone arrives, it could very well have a new card in it anyway. Especially if they are loading them at the factory before packaging.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
its no good to you now, but remotetracker can survive a hard reset if the sd card doesn't change, or be cooked in with your settings permanently, and it can cope with sim card being changed.

it also allows you to lock up the phone, wipe the card, show message on screen, get call and txt details, get location on cells when gps can't, recover any files you like, via email or even ftp. loads more, amazing piece of free software.
[HD2 General] iSEX:
I wish i would have knew all of that ):

I havent even had this phone for a full month yet.

he is very bold though. smh he didnt even turn it off. me and someone called and he answered and had a whole convo! grrr

it really sucks that t-mobile cant blacklist the IMEIs like t.mobile does.

OH, AND ITS CURRENTLY BACKORDERED!!! Ugh when will it be over
[HD2 General] iSEX:
SMH. What upset me was that they didnt even attempt to track it. Esp. microsoft. i told them when online it wasnt letting me do so and they said its only an online feature and they cant help. like wth is CC for?

They treated it like it was lost although i had a police report.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
taking the easy option. no one cares about anything today. lazy fu@k$
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Can't believe he answered the phone!

Keep trying with myPhone and the second you get his position, send it to the cops!
[HD2 General] iSEX:
UPDATE**

To make things worst, I woke up this morning only to check MMP, and I can see the contacts/pictures & texts that the person who has my phone are sending/saving!!! And yet Tmobile are still saying they cant track the phone number....B.U.L.L.S.H.*.T.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG IT MIGHT BE ON BACKORDER??? ):
[HD2 General] zelendel:
If he is saving the pics the nit should be updating his postion, so it will tell you where he is.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hope ya harvesting numbers, i'd be harassing all his friends, and posting their number and his pics and such
[HD2 General] iSEX:
View your phone's last known location BETA

See your phone's location the last time it contacted My Phone.

We don't have a location. Find out why

It still keeps saying this. It wont tell me where she is located ):

It seems like a lost cause.

Im wondering why i can see this though, is it due to my email still being attached to the phone?
[HD2 General] iSEX:
Ugh. I wish I was able to see the persons number who actually has the phone. smh i'm shocked it isnt letting me.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
well he's still using your number right...? you said you were able to call and talk to him, so the phone won't know what his number is. However, I'd put money down on the fact that the very first number he called when he got the phone, was his own, so he could get your number off his phone's incoming call. Call the very first number that appears in your t-mobile call logs as happening after he stole it, and I'll bet the same guy (him) answers as when you called your number.

Either way, I would follow samsamuel's suggestion and start putting pressure on every single person in his contact list, or even put a post up on craigslist addressed "to everybody on this a$$hole's contact list, he stole my phone"...and post every single name in there, and whatever choice commentary you feel would help flush him out ;)

Shoot, start posting every single one of his text messages online....especially the most private or embarassing ones for he and his friends. Watch his messaging activity too and I'm sure you'll spot and e-mail address or facebook/myspace account name, something you can use to smack him in the face with info....you may not know who he is, but you certainly have access to enough info about him to make him regret it.

I'm guessing at this point he still has no idea that you can see all that about him, so use your advantage here wisely....
[HD2 General] iSEX:
That was yesterday. Afterward i suspended my acct and he must have sold it to or gave it to a female b/c she is in the pictures and by the text language I can tell its a girl...

So as of ystrday after I cut the service off, the sim card has been changed to hers but TMO wont help smh.

But you gave me a great idea. i know 9/10 i wont receive my phone back but i can make the person with it extremely annoyed *runs to craigslist* LOL

TMOBILE should really think about using some of the features Sprint/Nextel and others use....
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Ahhh gotcha. Ok well yeah then I think the best you can do is just be very crafty with how you use what you can see. I still feel confident that they have no idea that myphone is doing it's thing, so just don't tip that hand too soon ;) I know I'd have a bit of perverse fun coming up with ways to take advantage of all that!

It's interesting that myphone still updates to your same account even with a new sim/number....I guess it makes sense, since you log into an msn account to use it, and it probably only cares what data there is to back up, not what phone number or carrier account it's tied to.

Even though the myphone site won't tell you where it is, do any of the other "now what?" (premium) services show as possible? It says you can wipe the phone remotely if they work, but you may lose the insight myphone is giving you for now. But, it may become the final option at some point

EDIT: I guarantee you that T-mobile has the ability to do more to locate the phone....but without a supoena in your hand, you may never benefit from that :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] wingtytn:
if u use mircosoft myphone u can lock ur phone and locate it

QUESTION:

I was just in my Gmail and noticed they deleted a few non-important emails i received ystrday. i jusat changed my password on all of my accts. thats means the phone will pront the password to be updated on there and if she doesnt know it she wont be able to access it right???????
[HD2 General] jeff7790:
Yeah they wont be able to access it cuz you have to manually change the password on the HD2 again. Since it works with Imap and Pop3
[HD2 General] iSEX:
Okay Thank You thats one less thing to worry about. I wasnt sure if it would automatically sync there also.
[HD2 General] iSEX:
Does that go for twitter also?
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Yeah same goes for for Twitter as well.
[HD2 General] GAMERIG:
How comes? Ouch!

Thats funny last month I was forget to leave my 8900 at electric dept in Walmart for a hour. I was like *ahh sh!+* and better go back to WM store.. (shock) I found to hard believe nobody pick up or steal my bb before i find.. I was relieved when i got it back. I guess people thought the BB is piece of $h!+!? when they walked th pass by my bb on shelf LOL.. I am not trying to hijack OP's thread.. :p

Oh Did you know that HD2 already arrive @ all tmobile store yesterday? thats how i got HD2 from tmobile store yesterday while retailer told me * you are lucky day, HD2 just came in today".
[HD2 General] gigagrunt:
Yup, if you change it then they would have too know the new password to be able to access your account.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I was reading a news article a few weeks back about a guy who stole a phone and took a pic of himself with it. He then send the pic to the owner on accident.

The owner took the pic to the cops, who recognized him and were able to match the pic background to the perp's house. They busted him and the owner got the phone back.

I can't believe that the cops aren't interested in recovering the OP's property, considering the fact that it's not exactly a $40 Nokia we are talking about here.

iSEX: On myPhone, it gives you the option to track your phone or lock it down via a password:

http://sn1-p3.myphone.microsoft.com/mkweb/Help.po?tsid=1273376393599

You may have to sign up for Premium, but it's worth it.

At the top of the myPhone page, click on "Find Your Lost Phone"

Then click on the "Find your lost phone" link beside the image of your HD2

Next, click the "Get started" link

Then, enter you phone number and click "Get Connection". If they changed the phone number, you will need the new one.

Then click Free Trial.

This is as far as I can take you without starting my own free trial. I'd prefer to save that for my own use if I happen to lose my phone.

Please, try that and let us know how it goes!

Next,
[HD2 General] iSEX:
Unfortunately i do not have access to that persons phone number....SMH i guess its a lost cause. And the police wont track it unless its extenuating circumstances. SMH i swore $500 was they felony starting point and the $ 449 + tax comes close to it...oh well lost cause

But i was wondering, if i remove the phone from myphone online will my archived contacts still be there? or will they disappear also? is there any way to dwnload/copy them? :confused:

@ Zelendel & Gigagrunt. Although I dont use it often i wanted to be certain. :o

@GamerIg Asurion hasnt emailed or called me yet so i guess its only in some stores :(
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Just select all contacts and "Archive" them.

You can remove any phone without losing data on myPhone. If the person who has your phone deletes all contacts and syncs with myPhone, the contacts will go to the archive instead of deleting them.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
I just got a warranty replacement (external speaker stopped working) and they told me that it was on backorder and would be a week or two maybe... Got it in like 3 days... This was just last week.
[HD2 General] dailydriver:
I hate people who steals. Since you have pictures of him or his crew. Just wait till you see him and take care of business. ;-)

Forget about the phone. Just make sure his medical bill is about the same...LOL...
[HD2 General] iSEX:
@ Snarksneeze: Thanks. I didnt want to chance romoving the phone ad losing all the data b/c i have no other updated contact list. My google one is old.

@ Crisisinthe city: I hope that happens here. I talked to asurion on Friday so we shall see ):

@ DailyDriver: ROFL! If i were in a small town it would probably be an option haha

*Update: Well I know Tmobile will not give me the number of the acct: holder who is using the phone, But i am working with the transit police dept. I submitted print screens of my call log after it was stolen, and also of the person in the photographs. They are more then willing to help. Even before they knew that price. So i will keep my fingers crossed and hope they do get that subponea to get that info from Tmobile. The detective said that it is highly likely they will and file to get a search warrant...
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Wow, that's awesome! I actually had to deal with the transit cops in Philly once, years ago, and they were easily the coolest officers I've ever met (and yes, I've met at least my share...).

Sounds like we have the makings of a great new reality show here (kinda like "cheaters")...

"Tonight, on PhoneFinders, we bring some un-brotherly love to a punk who though the train was his free ride to a new phone..." :D
[HD2 General] goldt:
Hope you get your phone back and would like to see the pricks face when the cops show up with a warrant.
[HD2 General] spencer911:
Hope you get your phone back and the pricks that stole your phone will the what he deserve and the person he sold it too. Good Luck!!! ;)
[HD2 General] mr1ncred1ble:
RemoteTracker installed and configured...Sorry for your loss..
[HD2 General] iSEX:
@ sirphunkee: LOL I was sitting here cheesing so hard at your quote. LOL it sounds so real as if i pictured the "deep voice" on the show saying it.

@goldt: I hope that day comes

@Spencer: yes. even though the person using it will be out of money thats not my problem....shoulda went to the store...

@mr1ncred1ble: I will make sure to look into that whenever i get a new one

But hey, is there some like terms when it comes to Asurion? I dont see how they can have ppl waiting around for replacements on an "idk when we will get them in, etc" basis.... There has to be some other option.

Does anyone know if HTC disabled the weather/flip-clock from actually flipping? When the time changed on my Eris and even my Touch and Touch Pro the clock would flip.

Also, can you skin the Sense clock without root, I thought I remembered being able to do that on my Eris, which was running the Leaked 2.1, so I didn't have root.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C_walk:
what are the benifits of updating my radio for the nexus one. i currently am using 4.02.02.14 radio. will my 3g and h speeds improve or what??:confused:
[Desire General] poldie:
Ok, the browser is great in terms of the speed, layout, support for animations/javascript etc. But I think the interface sucks a little. Where's the home page? I have to press 3 buttons, and yet `share` and this other crap I'm never going to use (share a web page? what does that even mean?) is right in your face. I find bookmarks clumsy to navigate, and there doesn't seem to be and way of constructing a folder full of bookmarks in under 30 minutes. If I double click to zoom then half the time I'll not quite double click and it'll load whatever link I clicked on first, so I have to double click on a blank part of the page, or use pinch to zoom, neither of which is ideal. How do I stop a page from loading if I've made a mistake or changed my mind? I'm not used to browsers with no stop button. Seems that you're supposed to just wait.

When I'm zooming in , it would be nice if the text was reformatted to fit the current width of the screen. Otherwise I have to keep scrolling left and right as I read. Am I supposed to have to do that? It would be nice to have a `reformat` button. Oh, but not hidden away on a sub menu somewhere like the home page is, but accessible from a long-click on the current page.

It's as if the browser was coded by two entirely different teams - a really competent one which has produced a fast, powerful browser which handles most web pages perfectly; and some other guys who've knocked up some rubbish front end quickly.
[Desire General] dpk:
1) About stopping the page. You can either click in the top-right, where the refresh icon normally is, or you can press the back hardware button.

2) I'm guessing your Desire is from Orange? They took out the re-formatting function for some crappy reason. Really pees me off as well :mad:
[Desire General] gogol:
Try xScope browser, probably that will solve your problem.
[Desire General] poldie:
I've tried a couple of other browsers, and they're usually rubbish (no multitouch etc). The stock browser just needs a few fixes and it'll be fine.
[Desire General] poldie:
Yeah, it's Orange uk - home of the `yeah, lets take off Google Talk but leave the service running all the time` customization. The sooner there's a safe way of putting on a stock rom (with the possibility of putting back the crap Orange one if I need help from Orange) the better!
