Question for those with official Denim, any carrier

[The19thD0CT0R]

So, for those on any carrier with official Denim and 8.1 (or Cyan for that matter) who do NOT have facebook integrated into their phone: Does your people live tile still show that damn FB icon flipping around amongst your contacts? Really hoping that thing is finally gone if one does not use FB or have it on their phone.

I still have it when tile is large-wide. Never used FB though.. 928 with Denim

Thanks for replying; that's really disappointing. Shouldn't have an FB advertisement on our phones if we don't want it.

Yeah, if I use a medium tile you can see the FB icon bouncing around in there. I don't use and have never used FB.

Such a small quibble, but seriously....some people detest facebook and resent having their branding on your phone like that. Guess I'm keeping my tile tiny.

Sometimes a small "F" is better.

You are reading my mind, Brother...

I've never leveraged the full advantage of the people tile for that one simple reason; I refuse to have a Facebook icon winking at me and I therefore am forced to run a small people tile. Maybe that makes me a small person. Still tastes like moral victory though.

Right there with ya man. It is indeed a paltry gripe, but I can't help it. I absolutely ABHOR facebook and to see it's ubiquitous "F" on my phone which is supposed to be aaallllll about personalization....like hell. ESPECIALLY when the phone has NEVER been linked to it, had one of it's apps, anything. Like it keeps saying "Come to Facebook, one of us!" No. No way in hell, ever.

 

[RumoredNow]

I think that "F" is telling me something personal...

 

[The19thD0CT0R]

Well I have an "F" for zuckerberg and his crap service as well!

lol I didn't imagine people could get so angry about this, but its a reality Microsoft should be aware of, and hopefully they fix it, and I can understand it, imagining if I had to see a google icon anywhere on my phone, I would be tempted to throw it at the wall

Exactly correct. MS branding is fine since we CHOSE that phone. I did not get this phone or go with WP because of anything even remotely to do with a company and service I despise. Same as you feel with Google. It is not MS's place to "feature" their logo when one wants absolutely nothing to do with it.
