WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Re: WPC 50K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Morning folks. Gonna stop by the repair shop today on my way into work. Hopefully I will get some good news about my 925. When I called yesterday, the repair man hasn't tested the phone again. I like them but they are slow as hell because they have too much business. It is a tiny 3 man shop pretty much 1 person doing all the repairs...

Someone said my name...

Morning! I'm off to Marrakesh so can't really talk. Have a great weekend everyone. I'll try to check in from time to time.

Good for you! Hope you have a good time. At the rate this week is going, I'm really looking forward to being in Atlantic City for the weekend. I've been wishing that the weekend was here since Tuesday evening...

I was having lunch. Now I'm back.

I haven't reorganized my WP home screen in ages.

Love that show. Always been a fan of James Spader's work. I'll catch up on the new episodes next week...

What was for lunch? I'm always open for ideas...

Funny enough, I only reorganize my home screen whenever I get a new handset. I usually leave the apps that I use alot but don't want on my home screen in the app list. I just list the functional stuff on the front and keep it moving...

Re: WPC 50K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

That's why on my Z Ultra I have the Google search bar widget, a clock widget, a large weather widget and in the app tray the 6 most common apps I use, and only 1 home screen. That way I don't waste time reorganizing my home screen incessantly...

Well I got it down to 4 home screen however I wasn't satisfied so kept changing it.

I can't. I used to use 3 for,my natural life with Android...until when I set up my Touchpad to run Jelly Bean. It was so much cleaner to have the setup I described with the one home screen, I use that now as my default - whether, phone, tablet or phablet.

The local phone repair store which is also a nokia and samsung care store as well has 5 to 6 staff and only one is an engineer that can fix the phones and is only in on Tuesday and Thursday.

I wanted more home screen to be honesty at least 15.

A sandwich in the sun. I always bring some fruits and a box of vegetables with me though.

I used to do it pretty often. Now I'm quite happy with how I have it. With a 720 screen you have enough space for three large tiles (my email tile just partially, it shows the sender of the message and this is enough) and two rows of small tiles. So I have a big Whatsapp tile, a big pictures tile, and the big email tile, and the essentials as small tiles in between.

These guys are independent. They are on my short list of 2-3 repair shops I've used over the past that have given me best results. They are pricey but are willing to take on difficult repairs. I've given them my fair share of cluster**** filled phones to fix and they've done a nice job. It was the same place I took that VZW 8X to have both the screen and housing swapped out that I posted pictures here last fall...

Of course you wanted more. You'd be scrolling for days with all that to find anything...

Same for mine will take any job however there very expensive but they are the only one in town I trust.

They do take a week at least and there always busy doesn't help when they only hire one part time engineer and it family run as well.

Re: WPC 50K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I think I prefer WP7.8 over WP8 might just buy a 900.

I actually have only 1 wide tile and one medium tile on my 8X, the rest as small icons. I used to do that scrolling on the home screen too because I kept the WP7 large and medium tiles look, but I now have a tight scroll free look. On my Nokia I have 1 wide tile, 2 mediums and the rest as small.

I'll post screen shots for my 8X when I get to work so that this post doesn't sound so complicated...
