    Returning my Inc2

    I bought my Inc2 yesterday for full retail to replace my DX. After two days with it, I've decided it's not for me. HTC Sense is annoyingly ugly and bloated. The phone is really fast, but it just isn't enough of an upgrade from the DX to warrant a few hundred dollars. I should have known that...

    Help with a better tethering solution?

    Right now I tether wirelessly to my desktop with Barnacle. I have many problems with my PC not recognizing the broadcast. Are there any tethering apps that use an Infrastructure connection as opposed to Ad Hoc so my PC will automatically remember and reconnect to the tether? Or is there any way...

    Just got my hands on my first WP7 device

    My uncle works for Microsoft in Florida, and he was given a WP7 based Samsung Focus last week. I was able to check it out while he was visiting, and I have to say it was ten times better than I was expecting. I love my Droid X and its gigantic screen, so even the 4" Super AMOLED felt a little...

    Root I need a clean slate and a little advice

    I'm having a few issues with my X that are really starting to get under my skin, and I want to start from a new beginning. Currently, I'm running the first 2.2 leak and I'm rooted. Ideally, I'd like to get the OTA 2.2 and root it, but from what I understand I'll need to SBF back to 2.1, root...

    Help Screenshot app?

    My X is rooted. I've tried ShootMe and DroCap2, but neither of them saved any screenshots in their respective folders. Is there a different app I need to use with the X or am I just doing something wrong? Figured it out. Seems like ShootMe just needed some time and now it works fine. Don't know...

    Safe to format SD card and factory reset?

    My X has been having a couple of problems this week. It has force rebooted four times, frozen up twice and been sluggish a handful of times. I'd like to completely format my SD card and factory reset and start over. Is there anything necessary on the card that I need to keep (besides my personal...

    Annual upgrades? Why does new account say "New Every Two"?

    I signed up with Verizon this morning for the X. The rep, who was the corporate store manager, told me my line will get annual upgrades. When I log into my Verizon account and check, it says I have 19 months to go with NE2. Do I need to contact Verizon or is this how it's done?

    Help My battery won't charge

    I picked up my X at 8am this morning. I've been on it all day long, but I'm noticing that my battery won't gain a charge even though it's been connected for a couple of hours. Am I doing something wrong or do I have an actual issue? I tried AC and USB power and pulled the battery and it's still...

    Did VZW drop the mail in rebate?

    Last week I hear Verizon was nixing the $100 rebate and would be selling the phone for $200. Is this actually true?

    Switching from AT&T to get Moto X

    Currently I'm a secondary line on a month to month AT&T family plan with an iPhone 3G. The account holder is my stepfather and the only other line we'll be moving to Verizon. My question is can I go ahead and sign up for our new plan and get his phone (Samsung Convoy) and port our numbers? I...

    Where should I purchase my Incredible?

    I'm dying to switch to Verizon and get my hands on an Android handset. I've been waiting about two weeks already for the Incredible, but now Verizon has pushed the ship by date all the way back to July 20th. If I have to wait that long, I may as well get the X instead (depending on price). Do...
