Why is my mobile signal strength always yellow (in battery stats) on Fido?? I get five bars a lot of the time. EDIT: Apparently a lot of people are having this problem on HTC's latest radio firmware. Boo, HTC.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;38387716]In 20 years you'll change your tune :P[/QUOTE] In 10 years, we will be able to stream our games without lag, watch everything in at least 1080p all day, every day, assuming the infrastructure will support everything.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;38387156]I played with a store model while waiting for their Note II to update (so that I could check side-by-side apps), and it was a fucking mess. There were like 5 apps spamming the notifications, a bunch of SMS sending viruses. Ugh. And it had those stupid plastic straps too. :I[/QUOTE] Good guy me found the same thing and initiated a factory wipe. I'm nice like that.

I'm on WP8 now, I've escaped the hells of XDA themes and the like~~

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;38388098]However, you are stuck with one of the ugliest mobile interfaces to walk the earth[/QUOTE] That is a subjective matter good sir, I find metro (or modern UI) amazing.

I like metro/modern UI looking good I remember over a year ago I was looking at phones and there was a selection of Android and Windows Phone 7 and I thought that WP7 looked the best in terms of UI, at the time.

I don't know how it is on WP8 but WP7 was terrible looking. Flat, the colors were all just weird, only black and white background for the home screen. It got very boring very quick.

It got very boring very quick.[/QUOTE] The flat colors thing is the entire point of the color design simplicity. Devs are supposed to work with 16 bit color so you don't get stupid shit like gradients and transparency effects all over the place. You can make an app run at 32bpp but it hammers performance.

[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;38388620]Congrats; you now have the privilege of being the third priority for app developers.[/QUOTE] For now. At least the apps are fairly consistent in quality. If developers are able to make money on WPX they'll develop for it because that sure isn't occurring with Android.

[QUOTE=FlashFireSix;38382487]So HTC returned my phone. They replaced the top half, so the touch screen works but they put the [I]wrong fucking coloured part[/I] on it. So the phone now has a grey top, and a weird brown/grey bottom, not to mention the bottom was damaged anyway so now it's probably worth more as a paperweight :v: [editline]9th November 2012[/editline] [T]http://i.imgur.com/HDbfp.jpg[/T] [I]good one lads.[/I] [editline]9th November 2012[/editline] My phone feels like a fucked up experiment I actually want to use his LG KP170 instead :v:[/QUOTE] I highly suggest going back to HTC and complaining about the treatment you got for warranty repair. I'll send this link to some people that work for HTC, hopefully they can help things along.
