So my buddy wants a smartphone finally so I tell him about the Nexus S and WP7 (focus) in this case since he's on ATT.

He really liked the way the Nexus S felt but I convinced him to go give the focus a try. He is very much on the fence since he likes the moving backgrounds of Android but also liked the integration of my WP7 device.

Anyway, we go to the ATT store and we're getting the pros and cons of the various phones they have. When they get to the focus, the store rep talks about how it's one of their best selling phones even though it doesn't have a SAmoled screen. I chime in with a "Yes it does" and the rep looks kinda irritated.

Then he's talking about how it doesn't have 4G like the iPhone and I'm like "The Iphone doesn't have 4G". Then the other rep starts screaming "Android is the future. it has 100k apps compared to WP7".

I say "Way to compare 3 months to 3 years buddy" He starts talking about how Android is killing everything at which point we both walk out kinda irritated by the moron.

He didn't even realize I wasn't even anti-Android. I just hate fanatical fans.

Anyone else experience crap like this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] aoneweb:
Looks like WP7 is not going to get 4G, only Android at this stage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Niiceg:
Wow ;D That man is really stupid :D I hate when there are people who work in mobile sectors and don't know a **** about everything else, than their beloved smart phones :D This way, it was Android and iOS :D Android has lots, lots, lots of **** apps though. Well, I would argue till closing hours to those *****es ;D
[Windows Phone 7 General] kawgirlval69:
so where was this? as in state... city...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Anthonok:
thats hilarious
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
They are both practically the same phone with the exception of some really minor difference.

Maybe the rep is kind of stupid, anyone that has seen a SuperAMOLED screen before in their life can tell the Focus has SuperAMOLED.

To be honest, the last time I went to a store to check out a phone was at an Apple store (actually I was there to fix my iPod Touch). And before that was at the Microsoft store (I ended up looking at the Alienware m17x). Although back in the June the people at the T-Mobile store were pretty unbiased in terms of OS (okay, well T-Mobile had a bad selection).

Des Plaines, IL. Not telling exactly where in case there are crazies on this forum that will actually go start sh1t.:p
[Windows Phone 7 General] FL5:
Man, that's just silly. Unfortunately, it also seems to be somewhat common.

The sales reps I've spoken to here were equally as ignorant, but they weren't fanboys or derogatory - they just didn't really care much. They were friendly, though, and were quite willing to talk about what they did know and admit when what they were saying was personal opinion. Maybe that's just more of the prevailing attitude in the south, though. :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] Seed 2.0:
AT&T instore reps for the most part are clueless!! I was calling on 11.5.10 asking about WP7 phones and they didnt have a clue what I was talking about. That's 3 days before launch. They tell you what ever is going to put $$ in their pockets. They think beause AT&T gave them a spec sheet that GOD must have wrote it. When I bought my Focus on Day 1 I would have bet everything I own that I knew more about WP7 devices and the OS then every employee in the store combined. Which doesnt say much since it was my first smart phone and I don't code or anything special. I just read, read a lot, and use good judgement to decipher truth from fiction.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
+1. I would've tore into that idiot and just humiliated him in front of the whole store. Show the manager what kind of ignorant dip**** he has working there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kawgirlval69:
just wanted to know to AVOID that store if it were close to me....
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Saturday i went in a t-mobile store to look at the blackberries and when i reached for the hd7 near it the rep said "don't recommend."

That's all she said, but i wasnt there for that anyways, so it really dodnt bother me much...
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
there are alwyas going to be some idiots in any field no matter what.

saying that one dude didn't know what he was talking about doesn't suggest anything about WP7, Android or anything, it just means you had the bad luck of talking with an idiot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
I know this...that was the whole point of this thread. Am I missing your point?:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
apparently.

The point is that it would be like if I opened a thread going

"so I walk into a Burger King and this dude is like "hey man the new chicken sandwich has mayo" and im like "no bro, it has mustard" and he's like totally clueless and I'm like "what an idiot"

It seems like a pointless story unless you're implying that other personnel have some kind of vendetta against WP7 or something.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
Then you missed the point about how people who are supposed to be able to represent the OS to make commission can't even do that and when push comes to shove, spew incoherence instead.

It happens in T-Mobile stores and ATT stores. It's bound to happen in the Sprint and Verizon stores when they get their CDMA phones too.

People love to point to sales figures yet if the points of sale offer resistance, how the hell will the OS do well?

I'm sorry I needed to spell it out for you:(
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
that was my point.

you can't just say "because one d-bag didn't know anything then that means it's a problem in so many other stores" because I can point out instances where some tmobile rep didn't know the first thing about Android trying to sell a freaking blackberry or some other garbage.

It doesn't mean anything, just one idiot in one store. Go into another store and see how many reps are trying to pimp WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rcrawford611:
I just find this to be a funny story. I experience this every time I go into a t-mobile store for a new phone. They try to tell me why I should get this or why I should get this. I always tell no that's alright I just show me the phone I want so i can demo it just to make sure I want the phone
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Store to Store

It depends on the store and people in it, it varies from store to store. I bought my Focus at a store in NW NJ where the manager was very knowledgeable and so was the assistant manager. The Assistant manager just came back from WP7 training and had some great advice that he shared. I wasn't pressured, they helped me decide between the 3 devices and put up with me returning to the store three times while I was researching my choice. This was an ATT store.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Niiceg:
I think that EVERY one who works in stores must go to trainings and etc. to get to know with phones and etc., it would be much better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
you don't understand because you love the phone they usually try to shove down our throats (android).

Went to t-mobile to look the hd7 on launch day. Didn't have them displayed yet in both stores I went to. Second store pulled a demo unit from the back for me to try. Asked why they weren't on display, it stated that they hadn't gotten around to it yet. He tried to show me the vibrant, I asked him how the lag was, he said his didn't lag because he rooted and installed the lag fix. I asked him, didn't that void the warranty??? He's like, yeah, but I bought it off contract, like that has anything to do with the warranty. Told him I wanted a phone that didn't lag out of the box and that is why I wanted to play with the hd7.

He tried to make the hd7 lag, and couldn't. Ended up ordering one through corporate sales instead of the store.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reflexx1:
Hahaha. That must have been a sight to see.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
Actually I've been on WP7 for about 2 weeks now and I'm loving it, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Like I said, I go into a tmobile store and the guy is showing me the HD7 and how bad-ass it is, I walk into another and the guy is telling me to get a Vibrant hands down.

It's like the dude earlier in this thread said, they should do training on all phones so they know what they're talking about. There's no conspiracy against WP7, it's just a general lack of phone knowledge by employees at some stores.

Go into a VZW store in 3 weeks and I bet you some reps will push that iPhone 4 on you all day long over their other phones, walk into another store and some dude will try to sell you android or WP7 (at some point) over the overhyped iPhone 4 (that is going to be replaced in a few months anyways).

It's just one rep in one store being an idiot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
for me, its been all reps in several of the t-mobile stores here in san antonio. I go to play with phones about once every week or 2, and anytime I pick up the hd7, I get herded to a g2 or mytouch 4g or vibrant.

And you are not using a real wp7 device, so you don't count! :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
lol,

I swear WP7/Android dual boot is the best thing since sliced iPhones.

well if it is really that bad then MS needs to step up their game with their relationship with retailers and try to get these people to at least know what they're talking about.

I haven't had the same experience in Houston though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jz9833:
really? Every Best Buy, T-mobile and AT&T has tried to get my to look away from WP7 in Houston. I am Referring to the Sugar Land Best Buy, Midtown T-Mobile, Galleria T-Mobile, Tunnel system AT&T Best Buy off Gessner, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
ah man, I'm surrounded by houstonians!!! Gonna go hide in the alamo for awhile!!! :D

Seriously though, it seems at&t is taking wp7 more seriously than t-mobile. I haven't heard of any t-mobile employees getting any training on wp7 the way at&t reps have.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
I'm talking about the 610 @ shepard tmobile, the westheimer @ jeanetta (near gessner sort of), and the one on 290 @ 34th st, lol.

I have noticed that the reps are generally not knowledgeable about anything, but don't discriminate against WP7, they are equal opportunity dumbasses.

Of course there are like twenty thousand best buys and tmobile and att stores in this city, so I don't know, there may be a conspiracy here.

If this happened to me I'd probably call MS and tell them that the reps are totally messing up their bottom line,
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
I went to college at UTSA off 1604 by fiesta texas, it's a real chill city and pretty nice to stay for a while.

never went to a mobile store there though, so don't know what the reps are pushing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jz9833:
haha thats true, in this city you can drive down pretty much any road and find a cell phone store, and we have plenty of streets. One of the stores i posted before the manager even told me he wont let anyone buy one. I was shocked.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
I think theyre fire selling the galaxy S line because at tmo and att thats right where they herded me when i touched a hd7 or focus
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
if they try that garbage with me I'll pull out my HD2 and tell him I've got both OSes on my phone dual-booting anyways, so I don't need his galaxy garbage, after all I just walked into the ATT store to glue an iPhone to the back of my HD2 for the tri-boot :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
now what you need is to be able to access the same files on both OS's, and possibly just jump between them without needing to reboot each time :P.

Hello All,

This is the package for HTC Plurk + odex from the HTC Desire HD Taiwanese Asian RUU.

However, no matter how I push it into /system/app and such, it doesn't seem to run.

Here I am calling out for efforts to hack it and put it in our ROMs.

Thanks!

Have you tried to change permissions after from system/app using root explorer? They should change to r/w, r, r

[Desire HD Android Development] jeremy89632:
I have checked it thru.

My friend said that it have not been de-odexed. Anyone have the right tools for the job to de-odex it?

Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] phunkycow:
Try these. I've deodexed them but I can't test them (i'm not using a sense rom).

Edit: One sec, reuploading the other one. Ok, download them both again. :p
[Desire HD Android Development] jeremy89632:
Sure, let me give a try.

You used the odex's from the other zip file mm?
[Desire HD Android Development] jeremy89632:
Alright, got it working. (not quite though).

There's some graphical bugs, could it be ironed out? How's the deodexing process like, was the compression level too much or something?

THE GOOD NEWS IS .. Friendstream works! The plurk app managed to integrate into friendstream. However, the Plurk widget failed, and it will cause HTC Sense to crash.

The plurk app looks something like that - Clearly flawed app there.
[Desire HD Android Development] phunkycow:
Were the files from a 1.72 rom?
[Desire HD Android Development] jeremy89632:
I am not too sure, I do not need to downgrade my ROM in order to S-Off, so I dont think its 1.72.

Does that help?

Those who have the files, please participate in as well. Esp from those from the older / newer versions.

Hello!

I want to buy a 8gb class 10 mSD for my Android@HD2, but i see some other thread from other forum, they said that the maximum r/w speed on HD2 is only about class 4,

Which means if u insert a class 10 (or class 6) sdhc card, actually, the speed was only class 4's speed...

Is it true???

Thanks
[HD2 General] bqlkovich:
That will be good to know, because I was thinking of buying a new card as well.
[HD2 General] Lint6:
The G1 and MT3G can support up to class 6...I'm sure the HD2 can support class 6, not sure about 10 though
[HD2 General] STHNS:
You would be fine with C6 cards just make sure you don't buy any BS get it from reputable dealer. Using SD2.0 on HD2 you won't see passed class4-6 as the device is limited but not the card, you can however get class 10 card and use card reader to transfer content but while the mSD is in HD2 you will be throttled near C4-6 range. IMO go for C6 if you plan to use any type of heavy use that would require large access on mSD if not then go with C4 you will be perfectly fine.
[HD2 General] Imperator Nick:
People worry too much about card class. I'm using a fairly standard class 4 card and I've never been frustrated even when copying android with a 1gb data image to it
[HD2 General] diximage:
I cannot see any difference speed between class 4 and class 6 8gb SD card. anyway, be sure to buy a known brand name.

All you basically do is copy the partitions from a SD card that WP7 has already created and resize the 200MB partition so that Android can fit on.

I had same issue as you where it said I only had 10-15MB space when putting it in windows, just do a fresh install by flashing it again and make sure you card is in before you do it and windows will just skip the formating of card.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] fusion06:

This looks like a pretty old thread, but I hope someone can answer the question. I have issues with the Froyo and TWCalendar apps. Certain time zones (like Arizona with no DST) do not sync appointments correctly (using Exchange) when a repeating appointment lasts past the change of DST. I've tried some ICS and JB roms and they seem to have it fixed (CM9 and CM10 based ROMs). I was hoping that a later Gingerbread calendar apk wouild also have a fix.

The ROMs I've tried (CM10, CM9, CM7.2, ICS passion, Hellybean, PA (JB), slimbean, etc.) don't like my vibrant (bad GPS, won't read my external SD Card, etc. so I'm stuck with a Froyo ROM. It would be nice to have a good Calendar with Froyo. I've pushing the CM7.2 Calendar, but it doesn't work with Froyo.

Anyone know of a Gingerbread (Non Samsung - even the stock GSIII still has this problem in TWCalendar) Calendar app that runs on Froyo?
