I'll try and explain a little bit more....

I installed the aforementioned app.

Upon running it I was asked to give permanent permission to access my googlemail account, not liking this I said 'NO'. The app refused to start until I said 'YES'.

Having tried the app I decided uninstall it.

Being of a cautious nature I decided to see if uninstalling had removed the permissions so I re-installed the app.

Upon starting I was not asked for permission so I am guessing that the phone still has the information stored somewhere and am trying to work out how to remove this information.

[Desire General] Lothaen:
clearing cache and data on the app not helping?

I guess probably not - as when I set up market if i clear cache and data on that it still knows which google account to associate with...

its not under accounts and sync is it?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I tried this with my google account and it only showed entanglement permission from the chrome web store listed - however that is a useful link to know :) thanks
[Desire General] EddyOS:
The app will ask for access to your Google account, all apps do (or a lot of them). When you uninstall it, it no longer has access. When you reinstall it it'll ask again. Simple as that

You're reading too much into it
[Desire General] Baz8755:
No reference found under

google.com/accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens

or

account sync

Just puzzled as to where this permission has been set, can't be held in app data as it has been uninstalled/re-installed which should have cleared that.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
What's suggested from the post is that after reinstall it never asked for permission again - it assumed it already had it
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Just trying to bring some positivity to the forums.

I bought WP7 because it's got the best music player on the market, a smooth UI, xbox live integration, great games with the promise of even better which is completely believable after seeing such titles as ilomilo, xbox live integration, it's range of hardware selection which though it can't touch android beats out iphones selection, expandable memory, and because overall it's just got the most beautiful UI. It never feels like they took the best from another OS and just improved it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
I had a Zune HD and loved it so much that when i saw WP7 had taken the metro ui, Zune media and xbox live and put it on a phone that was it for me.

Zune is so far ahead of itunes it makes them look out of date (bar the remote control features this needs to be implemented asap)

Quality for me is so much more important than quantity. Other phones have a lot of cool stuff but none look and feel like WP7 or the quality of its media.

Then the cherry comes xbox live this is it for me, I am a huge gamer and xbox live is where it is at, period. All in all this is the greatest user phone ever it may lack high end features but it more than makes up for it by doing what it does better smoother and sexier then any other device you can buy today.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vorn182:
Loved the look of the UI, and Xbox live intergration. I bought a HD7 for the big screen, I was bored of my iPhone too
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
REason

I have tried all other OS and I am somewhat I would say loyal to Windows mobile. Honestly I sortof got tired of having to update my device bi-weekly or resetting device to do certain things, and for all the features it had build in I had purchased from someone for wm6.5. Like checking my friends online status on xbox live, I loved the zune interface I had a regular not an HD but my kid brother had one and loved it. I am optimistic they will enable more functions built and I am patiently waiting on the other things from 6.5 to be ported and more. And I was somewhat jealous of every other phones bigger screen (than my tp2) :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] Niiceg:
Got pissed with Android, waiting for updates and the UI. I hated WP7 first, because I was in love with Android guy, but after some time I saw what **** it is and just started to get to know with WP7. And then I realised that this OS will be perfect for my needs and after some time, I sold my Desire Z, it had defect with keyboard (before I had desire, which had defects too) and bought Omnia7. It's perfect, I'm perfectionist and this phone is just awesome, no single flaw so far...
[Windows Phone 7 General] slighmd:
Also came from iOS (iPhone 3G, 3GS) Android (nexus one). Reasons why i switched to WP7:

1. Xbox live and also their promise of great games, as i also am a gamer

2. Metro UI, slick and smooth. It just works

3. Xbox live

4. Zune

5. Xbox live :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zedox:
It does what I need it to do and does it efficiently.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reflexx1:
1) I liked how the UI looked

2) I want something fast

3) I wanted something that was standardized (with minimum system specs) so I could expect apps to work with it for a while

4) I wanted something different

5) I didn't want to have to spend time tweaking my phone in order to get it to work well.

6) XBOX Live

7) Fast camera
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
1. Its smooth and fast

2. Its different

3. Its v1.0 of an OS, something I hadn't had before

4. Got tired of tweaking the hell out of winmo

5. Tried android on the hd2 and it reminded me of IOS, just laggier, with no promise of device updates.

6. All the multimedia options: netflix, slingbox, bitbop, zune for music, zune for video, zune handles all my podcasts

7. It doesn't freeze up for me, ever! (OK once since US launch, but even then it soft reset itself)

8. Developers: the apps were are getting seem to be at least as good as IOS and look better and smoother than the same apps on android (if they even have them)

9. Games: once again, on par with IOS games, most android phones can't handle top games. Definitely better than Winmo games of the same name.

10. Notice how I didn't say enterprise or office integration, etc. My phone is a toy to keep me occupied at work, when out with the family and there is down time, at the gym on the treadmill, etc.

11. It's nice to show off a new feature/app of the phone to someone and not have the phone freeze on you!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Getting Older and Wiser ?

I came from a WM 6.5 environment where I tweaked, flashed new ROMs and Radios, and updated applications for several hours a week. What I wanted was:

. No more stylus, fingers only (I won't get into a fight over WM 6.5, no matter what I did, it was NEVER totally finger friendly).

. Larger screen (at least 4.0", my eyes aren't getting any better).

. Faster processor, more memory

. Fluid and fast OS/UI

. Something that just works and does not REQUIRE tweaking and endless flashing

. Apps that are updated automatically (some 6.5 ROMs and apps support this, but not integrated seamlessly)

. Something that let's ME use IT and doesn't use ME.

I am finished with tweaking and flashing. I did it in the beginning because I thought I had to in order to get a phone the way I liked it. After WP7, I understand there is no real need, I just got so used to it. I thought it was "normal". I now realize how much time I wasted and how the OS was driving me to waste time rather than save time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
ah yes, the number 1 reason I got wp7, to actually use the phone, instead of always tweaking/fixing it!
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
1/. I had a Zune HD which I enjoy immensely, WP7 is Zune HD+++

2/. I play my XBL games more than my actual XBOX games, +1 WP7 for fun games

3/. I hated tweaking my Touch Cruise and Symbian Phones

4/. I like smooth scrolling.

5/. I really didn't like the icon grid, which is why I sold my Ipod Touch and got a Zune HD in the first place.

6/. The animation speed of Bing Maps was ridiculous on the phone I played with at the T-Mo store.

7/. Not many people have it, not because it's a **** product, but because they just don't know what they're missing. I like quiet brilliance and WP7 is just that.

Quiet brilliance. I just hope for MS and our sakes that that turns into a smash hit for them somewhere down the line.:p
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
1. I wanted a different OS. Most of the other OS' seem a bit boring to me.

2. I like being an early adopter. I was with iOS (sort of) and having something that no one else has is pretty nice.

3. The apps are pretty good thus far. I can see myself getting more apps compared to Android.

4. I trust Microsoft more than Google. Mostly because my current laptop (running Windows 7) has not failed me and Google is, well, Google.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OGCF:
I was planning to get a Captivate but I realized that I would waste hours of my time hacking and flashing it and I didn't want to do that anymore. I wanted a phone that had great features and was just a great experience out of the box. The Focus did that for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
1. Fluid and Intuituve UI

2. Zune

3. All the live stuff

4. Zune

5. UI
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
you know, i really like it when folks are positive in starting a thread. even mentioning the competition, in a positive way. kudos to you for not stooping. :)

also, i could have almost bought an ATT product today, except there are so few choices besides the iphone over there. tmo is having terrible connectivity problems in my area, and if there were a non-contract alternative, i -may- just give it a shot (wp7).

again, thanks for the fresh air. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
Coming from Winmo6.5 (HTC Touch HD)

1) Wanted something different/New compared to what's out there already. I believe this is the only smartphone OS that has actually been designed in an artistic/consistent kind of way. Other OS' resemble desktops too much and are either too messy/cheap looking and inconsistent (Android) or just look plain and static looking (iOS app-launcher UI). Though, the home and app screen on WP could be better if the background was customisable, as well as offer more themes.

2) Liked the closed ecosystem of iOS (where all apps just work, and no more tweaking required to get the phone to perform smoothly) but wanted hardware choice. Plus I've got the iPad already, and didn't want to buy what is basically the same device.

3) Wanted to adopt a new OS that could become a major player in the smartphone industry.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
1. WM 6.5 was not supported anymore

2. UI made the way I like it - look, concept, homescreen, and unified across all of apps - something I hated on other platforms because of design fragmentation

3. Stable and fast

4. Intergrated with Hotmail

5. All the Office (email, docs, OneNote) however this needs to be improved

6. Hope for a great support by MS giant and their promised commitment

7. Integrated Maps, Music, Xbox, Marketplace

I just pointed things which I thought are better than on other OSes.

P.S. I also dream of some OFFLINE apps especially dictionaries.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
1. Somehing new.

2. Wife has Android, mates have BB's and iPhones... wanted something different to tell them how much their phones suck compared to mine.

3. Cloud Sync

4. Office & Exchange

5. Beautifull UI design
[Windows Phone 7 General] noremacyug:
was due for an upgrade and able to grab a samsung focus for $30 from wally world. i though, why not? i decided it was time to let my N1 go as well as many other google products/services i had been using because i don't like googles stance on net neutrality and them crawling in bed with the government. :(

surprisingly, i've really enjoyed my focus. the battery life is outstanding, the camera is quite good, the screen looks great, great games, the music player rocks and i love wireless syncing, it's very fast and smooth. i'm looking forward for the bugs to get ironed out, some very necessary features added and the app store to grow. one of the BEST features is that you can simply uninstall all the bloatware crap att or any other carrier puts on there.

i hope the gates clan keeps this os fresh and up to date with some thoughtful innovations.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Because there was no other operating system I could buy as i dont use apple or google.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
#1 reason: MetroUI

#2 reason: I don't have to tweak it

#3 reason: Games
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
It's good to see positive posts on this forum :) refreshing really.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adyrau:
- Beautiful and innovative UI

- Xbox integration

- Zune Pass

- The Focus has a beautiful, 4" AMOLED display

- Live tiles are really handy to keep track of all emails

- user replaceable battery
[Windows Phone 7 General] DarkRyoushii:
I actually came from an iPhone 4 (32GB) that I bought on release date. First iPhone I'd owned and loved it however as a student it was actually affecting my grades (my little self control caused me to play games in class) so when I had the ability to switch with my mother (if she got a new WP7 handset) I switched without hesitation. Now I own a HTC 7 Trophy and even though I believe iOS is better mainly because of its maturity, I love WP7 and can see a great future in the operating system. (when they add multitasking, make a decent MSN app and change the default search to google :P)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Seed 2.0:
My first smartphone. I waited to use my upgrade for 6 months for WP7 to come out. I was either getting the Focus or the Captivate; (AT&T family plan). I played with Captivate a little, it was sweet! Then I tried the Focus from day 1, Nov. 8th. I loved it. I had bought my daughter a Zune HD, and we have had Netflix since day one too. Oh yeah, Xbox360 FTW!

Bottom Line:

1. Metro UI = Yummy!

2. Zune, now the $14 is for two people's devices

3. Netflix

4. Xbox Live

5. It's the smartest phone Ive ever had :P

6. Samsung Focus for the SuperAMOLED, Uber eye gaze glaze!
[Windows Phone 7 General] pmeester:
iPhones: Boring

Android: Google already is too big

Symbian: I've got a Nokia E5 and it is amazing!

wm6.5: My phone died on me and I needed a new one

To summarize: It is an adventure, you don't know what you're gonna get and I like that :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I want something more similar to iPhone. Something elegant that looks nice and actually gives me what I need at a glance, which Android widgets pretty much fail to do IMO but don't want to switch to AT&T and especially not Bank-Robbing Verizon, so I'm getting an HD7. I want a phone with great performance which isn't the result of the manufacturer throwing in inflated hardware specs that really shouldn't be necessary. I want Live Tiles - at least for Facebook, Email, Calendar. I want push notifications that work. I want to get rid of this annoying pull-down notification bar. I want a phone that's more than a pretty screen, running crappy, ill-optimized software and I can care less about superfluous features like FFC and the like.

A smartphone made for getting stuff done, not getting stuff done to it...

I have an XBox Live Gold Subscription and Zune Pass. I'm a Netflix Subscriber. <- That in and of itself is enough to dumb any other platform for Windows Phone 7, IMO.

Tired of Android. It's clunky, unintuitive, and I'm tired feeling like I have to manage my phone the way I had to manage my mid-range notebook computer back in 2001. Soooo over it. The manufacturers cannibalize device values by oversaturating the market with devices. They still don't have a decent desktop sync solution for media. The user interface still looks like my dog poo'd on it. Windows Live + Outlook + Essentials + OneNote > Google + ... a web browser?

Can't wait til this phone comes in...

Also, being able to delete my Google Account and say "bye!" will be even icing on the cake.

Pretty much every non-Google Application I use exists on WP7 and typically looks and/or functions better and smoother on WP7 than on Android, as well. The Google Apps (YouTube, Reader, GMail, etc.) are nice, but what good are those when you don't have a Google Account, since I'm Deleting mine once this HD7 is verified to not be defective when it comes in.

The only thing I will miss is Trillian (or any IM client, really! c'mon Microsoft!!!), but concessions have to be made with any decision. It's worth it.

I do still wish HTC had used a better LCD panel on the HD7, but after using it in T-Mobile stores for probably a cumulative 20 hours by now, that is trivial. Afterall, it could have a great screen and end up sucking a lot just like this Vibrant...
[Windows Phone 7 General] captobie:
It sounds kind of cliche, but it's a phone that works like I work. From the moment I picked it up everything made sense to me. I didn't expect this to be the case, when WP7 was first announced I thought I'd never like it and had no intention of trying it. Boy, was I wrong. :)

Also I really appreciate that WP7 is a game changer. When you think about it, Android, iOS, Windows Mobile, they're all the same. Some have glitzier graphics than others, but they all work in almost exactly the same way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I was excited about WP7 from seeing the very first images of the main screen. Love the UI and love the design of my HD7. Currently it is buggy as hell but the first update should solve that. So I bought my WP7 device because I believe it will be the best there is eventually. And I love WinMo 6.5 Pro and know MS can put out the best.
[Windows Phone 7 General] manny84:
I previously had an Android device that I loved for the first 6 months or so, but grew tired of it due to its fragmented and inconsistent UI. When WP7 came around it peaked my interest a bit and I thought it was interesting. I grew more and more frustrated with Android as weeks went by until I finally gave in.

WP7's consistent Metro UI won me over instantly. I had always been a fan of Zune as well. This OS is much more neatly packaged than Android. The game library is fifty times better too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kieboy:
Smooth UI transitions got me :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] jordanmills:
My tilt 2 died and I could get an lq quantum for a penny. And my company is making a big move to support it, so I figured it would be a good idea to get to know the platform. Honestly it still doesn't do most of what I need...
[Galaxy 3 General] DaGr81:
Does Galaxy 3 supports multitasking? for e.g multitasking like as in HTC Wildfire??

Thanks in Adv.

Regards,
[Galaxy 3 General] mizch:
Multitasking is a fundamental feature of Android (i.e., the underlying Linux kernel), not of some special brand. So the answer is "yes".

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonH54:
Dumb question but what exactly is the "Window Animation" setting in "Display" Option?

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeMarzo:
It's just the elastic "snap" look when you open some windows, and the fade effect you get from opening the App Drawer. Just small stuff like that. Purely for looks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonH54:
Thanks for the info.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eyeisdasteve:
So since I flashed Android 2.2 nand, everytime I charge my phone it basically "freezes" while off. The Orange led light stays on and I can't turn my phone on. I have to take my case off, take off the back, then pull the battery and it works. It's a real pain.

Anyone heard of this happening?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Yeah it's a Magldr issue, cotulla is aware of it but it's not really a priority.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eyeisdasteve:
Ok. Thanks.
[Streak 5 General] jeffrey2000:
I've posted this @Modaco aswell and post it here now. See below:

I've seen the Galaxy tab email client which has been ported to the Streak but do you guys think it's possible to port the videocall/dial app aswell somehow??? The newer Android 2.3 will have a new SIP call feature but haven't seen this working yet on any Streak or did anyone see this already? I guess there are lots of ppl wanting this feature which should have been there already by default. I know Fring can do this (but you'll need skype credits to call a normal line) and skype has audio only working (and also needs skype credits for normal lines) and videostream doesn't work at the moment so maybe it will work maybe not what do you think? Can you port this or help us with this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burntrat:
I was messing around with an app today and started getting this text to speech message "New message arrived" after boot up. Just before Media scanning is completed. I see nothing in my notifications tab or anything unread in my message section. I uninstalled that app and still get it. How do I get it to stop? I liked the official froyo at first, but now it is starting to annoy me. I can't stop the bootup/shutdown sounds and battery seems to be worse than 2.1. Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginkage:
Do you have "Driving mode" enabled in TTS settings?

I just checked and it is not enabled. I stopped getting the audio message though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbgotee784:
I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the app drawer to 4D without switching to a GB ROM, or

Using ADW EX?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4rk0358:
Pardon my ignorance but what exactly is 4D?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbgotee784:
Instead of the app drawer scrolling up and disappearing it bends, (hard to describe) on the top and bottom. Most GB Roms I've seen have it and adw ex gives you the option also.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cy_n_ic:
Its 3d. Looks like they wrap around a cube as you scroll up and down
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
4D?!?!? Oh man I really want to try this, I'm sure my old physics professor does as well. Do I need any special glasses? A flux capacitor perhaps?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbgotee784:
I was thinking 3D also but asked in this forum once before to no avail. But I noticed in ADW EX the option that changes it to 3D they call it 4D. So that is where I came up with that one at.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I was just giving you some friendly sh*t :) I'm not sure about ADW but I know LauncherPro has a cool 3D app drawer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phillysphinest1:
Launcher pro has it. Its in appearance i believe. Says something to the effect of experimental 3d app drawer...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
I have adwEX and its worth every penny. I can say that I honestly don't know why he calls it 4D, but there's a feature where you can turn on for a transparent 4D drawer maybe idk but here's what the so called 4D looks like. Pretty 3D ish if you ask me but I love adwex its so sick.
