Is there a way to stop it? If there is, please let us know.

I looked in App Market and nothing comes up under "System Panel Lite"..Is that the exact name for it? Thanks!System panel is an app.
Much easier to just get system panel lite though for this
Dial ##7764726Has anyone found a way to get the bloatware window from popping up on the computer every time the phone is connected? You know the one asking to install drivers for the less than useful Verizon Vcast Media Manager?

Can someone tell me how to use this...I have a Jawbone headset and not sure how to activate it or the phone to use the feature. Thanks!> do we have voice dial through bluetooth?
YES!!! And there was much rejoicing! My phone is really hands free again!
Has anyone noticed a changes in the way mail is handled? Mail used to get saved on the device for X amount of days. Now, it seems when I delete the message from the server it is automatically getting removed from the mail app. This was not the case before.
Remember you do not need to click right where the cursor needs to be to make a correction. Just get close and swipe your finger over the round button on the bottom/front of the phone this will move your cursor where it needs to be.
I have to say, I'm very upset at the fact that HTC let Verizon throw in their usual host of bullsh!t software that no one uses. We have a phone with documented battery problems, hey let's do an update and have MORE unused programs running 24-7! Awesome idea, can you hear me now?
Amazon mp3? f off
Vnavigator? useless and redundant and expensive compared to FREE
City ID? please
Skype? No
I'm tempted to root just to delete this useless crap. It amazes me that such a big and successful company can be so ******ed.

Click Disable
Hit menu, commit modifications (it will say no item changed)
It removes any incompatibilities that occurred from trying to stack one OS on top of another without wiping any settings, etc. These problems cause lag, non-responsiveness, increased CPU usage ( Read your battery drains faster ), crashes, reboots, force closes, etc.
So...you tell me, is it worth it?
<-- went straight for the RUU which forces a complete wipe.
<-- has had none of the problems mentioned all over, especially the lag and battery drain.
NOTE: If you can avoid it all, do not use a program to sync apps backed up back onto your phone. I think some issues are coming from this. My recommendation is use Appbrain to create a list of apps ( or if you don't have many just write them down ) and then redownload them from the market by hand.
An hour or 2 of work now fixing everything on the phone is a world of headaches removed over the next week of trouble shooting 50 different problems
We're not alone. Consumer Reports recently did an evaluation of 30-40 of the newest smart-phones (Inc included). When you look at the comparison chart, you see that most of the phones scored very well in most categories but there was one glaring consistency amongst every single phone reviewed: In the 'call quality' category, they all scored the equivalent of only 1 or 2 stars out of 5.darn, hey didnt fix the call quality. I find myself, more and more, having to say "what? can you say that again?" to people im talking to. It's getting annoying..

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when brand new phones are so amazing at everything except making calls. I remember the day when talking on a giant analog phones was enjoyable and didn't make me crazy like talking on phones today does.
On a side note, isn't it possible in this day and age to be able to talk over each other without it cutting out?? That's called full duplexing, right?
