'People' tile question

[Justin.TV312]

Absolutely. But at this point in the timeline of cell phones, core functionality should not need catching up. If I was a phone developer, I would have nailed all the major aspects that involve navigation, settings, and functions that involve usability as a cellphone..before I released it into the market. The software end of it of course, would be followed up with updates..

Looks like you need to apply to Microsoft then since you think you know it all.

Not complaining here, just a question if you could turn them off. I pinned Spotify to my home screen and to my dismay the thing started flipping.. Some people said you could turn it off in third party apps, but I can't find it in the settings.

Yep, it also appears that Spotify seem to think that having options to turn off the live tiles is ********.

I think Microsoft requires that apps allow the user to turn off push (to save bandwidth). I don't think there is any such requirement for tiles, which can be updated locally as of Mango

The only way I have been able to turn off the active People tile on the Start screen is to re-size the tile to the smallest size. The tile is small but at least it is not cycling through all the pictures. If you size the tile to medium or large it becomes Live again.

The small tile is tiny but at least it stays on the Start screen.
