Gah, the way Android handles wallpapers is a 4-letter word

Does anyone here use WidgetLocker?
I'm struggling to edit the lock-screen layout so that the widgets line up with my homescreen - any tips would be more than welcome...

I just ordered me an i9000 with a heafty discount from my Samsung rep.

Forgive my nosiness but how much is 'hefty'?

$250 off. I got it for $200.

That's one heck of a discount.
Send that Samsung rep my way

Lol. He's a good rep, believe me. He keeps us flush with Samsung goodies. I just hope he stays here, as I hear most reps aren't that generous.

I've never met my Samsung rep.
Or the Nokia one.

I met someone from HTC once but I'm not sure he was a proper rep.

We used to have a WinMo rep come in very occasionally, back when it was WinMo 6.0 - she'd show off the likes of an HTC Touch then say 'of course, the way the homescreen looks is all down to HTC, nothing to do with us'.
She had kind of a pointless job...

The Motorola guy has been in twice, I think, in the past 6 months but both times when I've not been in.

The LG and Blackberry ones are in fairly regularly.
They're both nice guys, albeit not with much to say.

And then there's the SE rep(s).
The old one quit because she was due to get fired because she wasn't doing her job properly and was getting store managers to cover for her.
The new one seems to be a lot better - he got me an Arc




On an altogether different note, I cracked it - the way in which Android (or LauncherPro anyway) rotates wallpapers from portrait to landscape.
What a faff...

Heh.......yeah my home screen does not look right at all in landscape mode. I am using widget locker too!

Johnny's back!

I spent two hours playing "Drag Racing" yesterday before going to sleep. This game is pretty addictive.

@HAL: Why would you want another phone O_O

When you say your homescreen doesn't look right, in what sense?

As for WidgetLocker, any tips on getting widgets to line up with the homescreen?

LOL. I've just sold my Nexus S, and I wanted a World-spec GT-i9000. I'm getting a SGS II sometime in the next few months, and then I'll likely sell off my Captivates.

It's just the cycle... buy, new-release, sell old, buy new, new-release...

And hello Mr. Johnny T!! Glad to see you back!!

Awww, the SGS II looks so damn sexy..
Sad thing I still have 29 months to go with my I9000 :P
