good video, I didn't even know about the lockscreen 'require a password after' feature.

 

[Winterfang]

Yeah it was a new one for me. and so was the ability to pin folders or even that you could pin theaters.

Nice video. Anyone know why the live tiles stop flipping after a few seconds.

I didn't know about the lock screen after either, nor tapping the screen to take a picture! Good post!!

Notice the same thing today, but if you tap anywhere on the screen, they all start flipping all over the place again, crazy.

Yeah, I knew that if you touched the screen, they would start flipping again. I wondering if they stop it for battery sakes.

I didn't knew that either. Lots of little things I learned today.

@11:47 she brings up her "screen times out after..." options and she has a "NEVER" choice...along with a 15 minute and 30 minute option. Is that Phone specific??? My Focus does not have anything longer than 5 minutes! I'd love a "Never" option...if I want the phone off, i'll flip it off. Although I'd probably go with 30 Minutes because really, that is a super long time.

Yea, 5 minutes is enough, but say you were rocking to your phone for a party...you could plug the phone in and set up a docking type situation and had a constant touch screen player with a mini artist slide show constantly going.

The never option has being on my Optimus 7 since Nodo. Probably phone specific, since I can unlock my phone using the Home button but I can't do it with the Focus.

The Never options isn't available for me either. They should add a never for the tile flip too. Never stop that is.

Maybe it won't work for Amoled devices. Just plain LCD ones, because it could screw the screens.

I figured it was something along those lines...easier image burn or something...

Yeah it just makes my Optimus 7 the all more superior. LED flashlight, Panorama shot, unlock by press the spacious and comfortable home button, never option on my display

Are you sure you guys don't have it? I just checked on my Omnia 7 and that option appears for me. Omnia 7 & Focus are pretty much the same except the Focus has SD slot for memory.

Edit: Nevermind I was under the password after selection. So you guys are right, must be because of the SAMOLED screens.
