1. Lick it to make sure it yours
LOL, guys asks "What should I do with my new phone?" and nobody but nobody says, "Make a phone call!" I Love it!!
I usually make a phone call just to make sure that part of the phone works within the first 10 things. I guess that's old fashion... why on earth would you want to talk to someone when you can text, facebook, tweet, email, or just plain ignore the world around you while enjoying your new phone.
For those of you who have LPP and Widgetlocker, I assume you are setting LPP as the default home right?
Only reason I ask is because I just got my X and installed both today. I have LPP as home but I've noticed sometimes the lock screen goes back to the stock one and not Widgetlocker.
Thoughts anyone?
Thanks!
EDIT: I forgot to ask, can anyone point me to some louder ringtones for this phone? I know it has this issue but would like to combat the problem for now before the 2.2 OTA comes out.
One of the first things I would suggest is to run dead pixel detect as the first to make sure there is no obvious problems first.
could someone elaborate on this? Why couldn't you just wait for a 2.2 root?

Complete action using:
LauncherPro
Make Default! WLocker Helper
[] Use by default for this action
Can you recommend an app that does this?

The only time mine goes back to the stock lock screen is if the phone is locked and tasker launches an app, I haven't found a solution yet.
For the ringer problem, update to the leaked froyo, there really aren't many bugs at all and it fixes the volume issue plus gives you flash now.
I believe you have to make widgetlocker your default home.
Open WidgetLocker Tool Mode, menu, settings, behavior, click on the first option (Home Application or set home). You will probably need to clear the default home. When you hit the home button and you get:
Select the Use by default, and choose Make Default! WLocker Helper and you should be set!
HA! Others may already know this, but I didn't - when you open the contacts via the shortcut on the bottom right of the dock, you're actually opening three swipe-able (is that a word?) screens. There are three red dots at the top right of the screen to indicate which one you're on, and they are also listed on the same bar on the left. First is "Contacts: History", middle is "Contacts: A - Z", and third is "Contacts: Status." I guess that actually makes them three different views of the contact screen, now that I think about it.
Anyway, Martimus pointed this out on another thread in Troubleshooting, so he actually gets the props for it.
Setting WL to your default home does not stop LPP from launching.
I set WL to my default home last night using home switcher. When I turned on my phone this morning, WL was stuck. It took multiple tries to unlock the phone.
When it did unlock, LPP was not open it was set back to Motoblur, so I had to use home switcher to activate LPP.
My question is, if I have WL set to default home, how can I make it so it does not lock up the phone, and also launch LPP when I unlock the phone?
Its got to be a settings thing somewhere between the two apps.
Thanks.
There is an update to widget locker today, it appears you no longer need to use the home helper or set widget locker as home. So that should stop the confusion.
2) discharge it until it turns off to calibrate the battery meter.
4) look at apps you think you can't live without, instal
Is #2 a well known documented thing? I haven't seen that before, that you should charge, discharge until it powers off, and charge again. ?
On #4, are you guys using regular market or AppBrain? I recently found appbrain.com and it seems good.
