HTC Droid Incredible

Has anyone had a problem with their Incredible doing a complete factory data reset on its own?

Just had a friend that we sold an Incredible to last month call and say that he powered his phone off last night (as he always does) and when he turned it back on this morning everything had been reset to factory specifications.

He has no idea why this happened and is wondering how to prevent it in the future.

I have an Incredible myself but I haven't had this issue (knock on wood)

Any ideas? 😕

I continue to have issues with Sync. I have uninstalled and re-installed a million times. I get a connection error and won't sync. When it does work it duplicates everything on my computer. Any help, it is getting frustrating.

how do i change my text messaging tones? i can only change it to the standard ones, but how do i get new tones added to my list? Thanks!

Is there a setting or something like that u have to do in order to view in 3d? Couldnt figure it out!! TIA

The deal at Best Buy was too good to pass-up. Coming from a BBS1 this is different for sure.
Haven't figured out what all the aps and widgest are yet. Moved the power control to a home page but don't know what the Sync All is? Should this be on or off to save battery life?
Thanks in advance.

Tempted to write a full review once I have it active for a few days, but just messing with it over wifi, here's what I noticed compared to my original droid:

-Colors and video look amazing on it, but web pages look soft.. like they're slightly blurred, but they're not. I'm guessing this is because it's AMOLED. It's not as bad as one the galaxy S phones, but text was sharper on my droid.

-This thing is FAST. Yes, I have my droid clocked at 1.2ghz, but this is still quicker where it counts.

-I really like the polish that Sense brings to the phone. Scenes are a blast. I had originally intended to root this thing on the first day and install CM6.1 on it, but I might hold off for a bit and play with a "stock" phone for awhile

Seems like the earpiece sound is sort of flanging or maybe pitch shifting a little. Is this normal? It's worse on the speakerphone?

So what is it. I have read all the posts and everyone seems to be having the same problem. My phone won't even last a day now and I do not use it that much. Anyone know what is being done to address the issue?

Okay. Please join me in boycotting the Incredible so that Verizon will release a CDMA variant of the Desire HD.

My home keys have been lighting up randomly recently. It explains the battery life. Is anyone else experiencing this?

If you subscribed for the Family Locator service try my Family Locator application for Androids. It emulates web browser to send location request and get result from https://fl.vzw.com but displays it on Google Maps view instead of web page. Also you can pass coordinates to Google Maps/Navigation app.
Search market for Family Locator (V). Try free Demo version first. Before this make sure that location service works for you on official Verizon site https://fl.vzw.com

So my wife just got the incredible and is having the same issue she was having with her droid eris. Anytime she tries to send an mms, it automatically converts the picture to a slideshow. when the msg finally gets to my phone, it asks me to reject or download the msg.

The download ALWAYS fails for me. Others can usually get the pic no problem, even though it's still a slide show.

Also, she receives all mms as a slide show as well. Anyone else experience this? Any help?

Thanks a lot

I have waited 🤭 way to long on AT&T to release a product like this. I may need to look at other carriers.

I get no text notification (no sound, no vibe, no status bar envelop) when that same message window remains open. Is this normal? My Eris notified every time.

I was wondering why there is two sensors on the left side of the Verizon check mark under the ear peice? I'm sure one of them is a light sensor but what about the other? Any ideas?

Pardon my ignorance to the Android ssytem..
But I recently added ChompSMS as my new SMS APP on my HTC Incredible.
Can anyone tell me how to disable the original HTC message system so that I dont get 2 messages of every text I recieve?
Also if I end up not liking ChompSMS how would I go back to the old HTC Message system? Just delete ChompSMS?
Has anyone done this? Can anyone help me?

what is the best task killer in the market ?

I've read through many threads, tried a bunch of batter saving tips, disabled "Always on data", bump charging and some other stuff.

Last night I unplugged my phone around 8 pm. Minimal use until this morning. The battery actually lasted over night. I'm amazed

I look at the battery stats and it reads like this:

Up Time: 13:33
Awake Time: 11:36

These stats I don't really understand. Up time if the time left off the charger right? And awake time is the phone actually using process and being active?

How can this be if most the time I was sleeping? I looked at the Display listing and it said 2h 26m. This would be the time that I was actually using the phone correct?

Could there be some app that is keeping the phone busy while I...

Can anyone please help? before i do a factory restore and lose EVERYTHIng?? MENO.. you out there buddy?

So I downloaded the 2.2 update yesterday - what was included? I don't really see anything special except Skype Mobile which continues to run even though I continue to cancel it.
