    Need some help (iphone related)

    So before anyone yells at me for it, yes this is childish and yes this is pointless. But it's fun and personal! My uncle is a bigshot at Apple in the ipod division (head of NA distribution I think) and he is obviously obsessed with the new iphone. Everytime I see him, he goes into the "Hey...

    Root For those having trouble getting into recovery mode

    Perhaps try this - this is the only repeatable way on my phone. This is assuming you have the required files and SDK kit already set up and are just having trouble entering recovery mode. Go to your C:/sdk/usb_driver folder and open android_winusb.inf. As other instructions have mentioned...

    Root In recovery...so close...but signature verification failed

    No matter what I do, how slow or fast I hit enter for the adb push payload-update.zip /sdcard/update/zip my phone gives me the signature verification falied installation aborted message. I don't understand how some of you are saying that you can hit it "too fast" - it gives me this message in...

    Help Why does my bluetooth suck?

    I'm coming from windows mobile here so I'm not sure if this is an Android thing or the Incredible specifically, but the bluetooth implementation absolutely sucks. I'm using the phone with the Plantronics 975, which is an absolutely fantastic earpiece. The problem is that it NEVER automatically...

    Accessories 124 hours out of my new Seido 1700mah!!!!!111

    Actually no. I swear to God I'm going to club a baby seal if I see another thread like the one posted by this Rhodes Scholar: That's really amazing. Incredible, actually. Who knew you could get a 100% battery life increase out of a battery that is only rated by Seido to be 30% more than the...

    Just a heads up on some retractable cables

    I tried several retractable micro usb cables that didn't quote work for me; some of them did data and no charge, while some charged but didn't do data. I found these cables on ebay and bought 5 of them. Finally, a cheap retractable cable that charges reliably (even from AC outlet) despite...

    Accessories Why are there no accessories? Seriously Verizon...

    I have to say that Verizon has really dropped the ball here on accessories. I have money in hand, that I'm DYING to give to them for such basic necessities as a desktop dock that charges the phone and a car dock that charges the phone. Yet, they released some half assed generic-ish car dock...

    Help Is there a way to get a google voice unread count widget?

    I can't seem to find one which is pretty annoying. I keep getting google voice texts, but can't see the unread count on my home screen. Does anyone have a widget that would allow me to do this similar to SMS unread count or something?

    Help Any way to make the optical button into an end call button?

    This would fix my only complaint about the phone! It's quite annoying when I'm in a call and doing something else on the phone, and I lose the soft end call button and can't hang up. Thanks!

    Seriously HTC Album?

    Did they seriously not include a way to "hide" folders that you don't want showing up in albums? For example, it just searched my SD card and came up with an "icons" folder that contains various program icons. Is there seriously no way to tell it not to appear in HTC album? On windows...

    Battery Charging Myths

    I've seen a TON of people saying stuff like "It will hurt the battery if you use your phone before charging it" and "You need to do a full charge/drain cycle" to protect your battery. That's just not true. It won't have any effect at all, not even a minor one. Trust me; I've been a "battery...

    Accessories Car Dock Discussion Thread

    I plan on being a heavy car user of my Incredible, as I suspect many others are. It would be nice to have a consolidated thread where we can get information about and discuss potential car docking solutions. From what I understand, our phone doesn't auto-rotate and launch the Car Panel...

    Some VoIP functionality and Integration Questions

    This might be a very stupid question, but I've searched and I've not found a clear answer to it. I'm new to Android so I have no clue. My goal is to be able to have me and my girlfriend be able to call each other over VoIP. We are on different networks so the minutes add up quick. I have a...
