    Ok I have noticed this awhile back but I finally decided to post it to see if I am going crazy or not.


    I installed a app on my storm and noticed that there was something on my screen so i was rubbing the bottom of my screen near the bttm buttons from left to right and i noticed that the download was going faster... I have donwloaded things without doing that and it seems like they take longer... I just installed twitter and was rubbing the bttm of the screen and OMG it was done in like 5 seconds no BS... granted the icon didnt install and I had to do a quick pull....


    But can someone else try rubbing the bttm of there screen the next time they install something and let me know do you get the same effect that the status bar moves quick....

    Thanks

    Its thermal energy. More rubbing from friction transfers heat to your battery which produces more power, causing you to have much more powerful Radio Signals :P





    Just playing

    Your post made me laugh.

    Well I tired it and it works sorta.
    The faster I rubbed the the more my Storm started moaning and vibrating real heavy the case got real hot and all the sudden the app downloaded and connected real fast.

    But then it went out for a cig break and finally rolled over and went to sleep.

    I think that instead of you just looking at it upload which we all knows seems forever, when your were getting your jolly's off rubbing your phone you didn't notice the actual load time cause you were fixated on something else.....

    You know, everybody is laughing at the OP and saying he is losing it.....

    However, for some reason I think he's onto something.... I can be in the middle of a download, with the progress bar stalled and NO network activity icon. The minute I swipe my finger across the screen, network activity resumes and the download bar continues to move. I don't know if it's some sort of idle bug or what, but what the OP says is true at times.

    Actually, I find rubbing in a circular motion gets better results.
