Anyone else notice Verizon's complete disinterest with Windows Phone?

I decided to take a peek through Verizon's facebook and Twitter pages for a quick minute, on the day that Verizon announced pre-orders are available for Windows Phone, they took to twitter and promoted that there is a new droid coming on the 13th and to get sneek peeks of it. Followed by tweets everyday with the tag #droidoes, why doesn't verizon put this kind of effort into windows phone instead of just a new droid every 2 months? I want more than just 2 mid range windows phones for the same price as most higher end models.

Agreed.
If Verizon personnel in charge of phone procurement ever bother to peruse their Windows Phone forums, they'll know why they might be receiving lukewarm, nay, tepid response to Windows Phone 8 on their network.  The days of perceived cautiousness because of the Kin debacle should've been over with and forgiven on the introduction and overly positive reception of WP7 of the HTC Trophy.  For Verizon to continue the throttled reception of WP8 with a half-hearted selection of Windows Phone 8 devices is a disservice to their customers. 
If you're listening Verizon, this is not a chicken and egg argument.  You found a partially interested audience to your WP8 launch because you put forth a partial introduction to WP8 phones.

  • Does anyone else notice how lousy Leopard is with gaming?

    Man I wish I stayed with 10.4.11...
    Leopard is stuttery, seems to be dropping frames during any game I've played. Takes all the fun out of playing games.
    Is there something I can do? Has anyone else experienced this? I'm thinking about Archive/Installing 10.4.11 again.

    Hi Jeff
    What game/games are you playing that are dropping frames?
    Do these have the latest patches installed? - All of my games required an update to work properly on Leopard
    Have you tried reinstalling the games?
    When you upgraded to Leopard what method did you use? Archive and install, Erase and install or upgrade?

  • Is anyone else having more then one problem with this phone? (BBSTYLE)

    I've always wanted a blackberry phone, and  about 4 months ago I finally did. 
    Purchased a brand new blackberry style, I was very excited about this purchase. 
    Anyways, the first 2 weeks were great, then all these problems started to happen..  
    Since then every month a new problem occurs. 
    -the phone freezes. (a lot)
    -the internet (while refreshing or what I like to call it "thinking") completely closes, and erases everything. 
    -While using the phone for a call the back of the phone( where the battery is) heats up, to the point where it is too    hot to handle. 
    - the track pad, gets way to sensitive then gets all crazy on me when IM scrolling up or down on a website, or in a text message. 
    - the wifi does not even want to try and connect. 
    - then, just recently, i'm not receiving some texts, and missing very important calls.
    I'm seriously unhappy, because the knowledge  I have about blackberry products (and what it says on the outside of the box) is that this phone is for the busy business person, and I have to wait ten minutes for the phone to start acting right to put in a contact in the address book. 

    I just bought this phone seven months ago (swapped out a different BB model for "Style", and I'm still unhappy), and it freezes up ALL THE TIME now.  It'll freeze up for days on end. I can't live like this anymore.  The tech support group said that they'll have to "restore it to factory settings", meaning I'll lose ALL the data I have stored, including all the notes, info, on my Notes Pad under Application. If the phone ever allows me to get to that icon again, I'll have to transfer all of that data to my desktop before I allow them to restore it to factory settings.
    But the real issue is is that THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING in the first place.  They make absolutely no apologies for it. I'm reading here that SEVERAL models have the problem of freezing up.  This is the last time.  When my contract is up, I am DEFINITELY switching to a Galaxy IIS.  This is no way to deal with a supposed "smartphone".  Research in Motion should be issuing new phones to EVERYONE for the trouble they're causing.  The blue cursor/whatever will NOT travel down to the buttons, so, I can't access ANYTHING  on my phone. I can't get to contacts, I can't get to my emails, nothing.  I have to repeatedly hit the BlackBerry icon, and get to certain areas completely backward, but it's still not functioning 1% of what it should be.  I can't scroll around anywhere...not up and down my inbox, on the home page, nothing.  What the hell is wrong with them?  Don't they do any product testing???  I'm  in marketing, and this company, and their products, SUCKl.
    If anyone has any advice other than remove the battery and pop it back in after X amount of time, let me know.  I've had the battery out for one minute as well as overnight....the phone has stopped now for 55 hours, and I'm sick of it.

  • Has anyone else noticed firefox using more RAM in windows 7?

    I've noticed this lately and firefox has been using more RAM lately. I only have 1 tab open and it doesn't matter what page I would be on when it happens. It wouldn't bother me if I still had 6GB of RAM but I am going on 3.5 now. Can you guys fix this please? Just being on this page alone it's at 2.15GB when it would usually be at 1.78 and in processes it says 260,000k. I don't have any other windows or tabs open.

    All is good now :D

  • Has anyone else noticed this bug with multitasking gestures on iOS 5?

    I recently updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5 and have just noticed this bug with multitasking gestures. 
    If you're currently in an app and use the four-finger swipe up to open the app switcher, and then subsequently close another app that's open in the background from the switcher, the app doesn't seem to fully close.  What I mean is that if you now use the four-finger swipe right/left to switch apps, when you get to the place where that app you closed was, it's still open, and after you view it, it pops back into the app switcher.  It seems like the multitasking gestures feature isn't recognizing that you've closed the app and that it should skip it from now on. 
    If you do the above steps again, but this time after you close the app from the switcher, use the five-finger pinch to go back to the home screen, it seems to clear the "cache" being used by the the gestures feature.  Now if you go back into any app and swipe left to right, the closed app won't load up anymore (which is how it should correctly work). 
    Has anyone else noticed this, or can anyone else reproduce the bug as I described?  I'd appreciate it if an Apple employee could confirm that this is a bug in iOS 5 and not just something wrong on my end.  Thanks in advance.

    After the time spent and attention to detail in replicating this fault, I do think that you should email your findings to Nokia Care to be found on:
    http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4222231
    This is after all a discussion forum and others may find the same bug, but until it is logged at Nokia there is little chance of future modification if required!
    Done already. They may of course have corrected this in the 11.x firmware currently being rolled out but as I don't yet have access to it I can't say.

  • Anyone else notice iPhone 5's lens cover is uneven or tilted?

    I received my pre-order black iPhone 5 on launch day (9/21/2012). I love it!
    However, I noticed that when I pull the iPhone 5 out of my pocket there is often lint sticking out of the lens cover for the iSight on the back.
    This morning upon closer inspection, I noticed that the lens cover is slightly tilted downwards.
    It is visible to the eye, but it is especially noticeable when you run a finger across it.
    I notice that the top of the lens cover is completely flush while the bottom is slightly less than flush. It is tilted inward, below the surrounding glass.
    Does anyone else notice this? Is it perhaps just how it is designed?

    I went to a Genius Bar appointment and after waiting 45 minutes a genius replaced my iPhone 5. In fact he replaced another one at the same time. He handled both of our cases simultaneously with an iPad away from the Genius Bar.
    I'm happy with my replacement. He said it was a brand new phone, not a refurb. However, I inspected the replacement iPhone in store and I found a knick in the beveled edge and a scrape about 1cm long on the side of the iPhone. I decided that I'd rather have a couple of scrapes than a recessed camera lens. Once I got home and had it under better light I found dust under the lens. So overall I'm disappointed but I'm 99% satisfied with my device and its not worth the hassle to get a another replacement. I think there are definite quality control issues with the new iPhone, though.

  • App store doesn't show Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 as purchased and will resell it to me has anyone else noticed this?

    The Apple app store doesn't show Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 as purchased and will resell it to me. I bought this computer (early 2011 macbook pro 17 in) new in oct 2011 it came with Lion installed has anyone else noticed this?

    Barney,I did as you suggested and emailed app store support qutioning why the app store didn't recognize my OS LION software as purchased even though all of the iLife apps that came bundled with it are recognized as PURCHASED and here was the email response from robert@ the app store....< I understand that you are trying to re-install the OS X Lion as you had a Hard Drive crash but it is not showing as purchased from your Mac App Store purchase pane.
    As the Mac OS X Lion was pre-installed to your computer , it will not be recognized as purchased in the Mac App Store, and because of that it is not available fro re-download for free. Also, computers that come preinstalled with Lion do not ship with the disk.
    Dana, not worry as OS X Lion has a self recovery feature.

  • Has anyone else noticed that Adobe Camera Raw 7.x exhibits odd behavior compared to version 6.x?

    I have found no discussion of this subject on Adobe's forums, so I am asking here. I find that Adobe Camera Raw 7.x's "auto" mode frequently produces overexposed images with lots of blowouts necessitating much more manual tweaking than was required with the older 6.x series of plug-ins. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

  • In FF29.0 bookmarks on the menu bar stop working correctly after exiting 'Customize': has anyone else noticed this?

    Shortly after installing FF29.0 I noticed that the bookmarks menu from the 'Menu Bar' - NOT the new one that appears on the right of the screen - was not working correctly: specifically, when right-clicking on a bookmark to look for 'Open in a New tab' all the options were greyed out and I now realize that this occurs after exiting the 'Customize' screen, which effect I have consistently duplicated several times now; to restore functionality I have on each occasion had to close and re-open Firefox. This error does not appear to occur with the new bookmark menu that is associated with the bookmark icon at the top right of the screen. Has anyone else noticed this error?
    (Personally, I prefer the bookmark menu from the menu bar, which incidentally I find easier to read than the new one and I like menu bars anyway.)
    Many thanks.

  • TS3899 After upgrading to the latest IOS version 7.1, in mail on ipad, if I select more than 5 mail items to delete the  mail software package  crashes and I have to relaunch mail? Anyone else noticed this?

    After upgrading to the latest IOS version 7.1, in mail on ipad, if I select more than 5 mail items to delete the  mail software package  crashes and I have to relaunch mail? Anyone else noticed this?

    I haven't encountered this problem on my iPad Air but this is what I usually do when Mail misbehaves.
    Quit the Mail app like I describe then reset the iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.

  • Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

    Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

    Yes, BUT...
    ... there are many problems that are really easy to eliminate by replacing the Hard drive, including ones that have nothing to do with actual Drive Hardware failure. These include corrupted install of Mac OS X, its EFI partition, clobbered partition tables, or the appearance of Bad Blocks in a critical area.
    Any of these problems can sometimes be eliminated by re-initializing the entire drive and writing Zeroes, and re-installing from scratch. The trouble is, this process takes hours to complete, and is not guaranteed to be successful -- you may still need a new drive after all that effort.
    I learned from my Plumber that consumers have no appetite for solutions that might work, and detest return visits for any related problems whatsoever. You or your friend may have had your drive replaced, not because it actually failed, but because the situation was troublesome, and the provider thought you would not tolerate anything less than a crisp, complete fix on the first attempt. And based on the cost of technician time, it may have even been cheaper that way.
