    What can one do with a "found" Droid incredible?

    Long story short: Found a Droid incredible identical to the one I have sitting in a parking lot. It looked a bit wet on the inside of the screen (dew?), but after drying & charging the battery it started to fire up, but wasn't quite right. Tried to ID the owner to return by posting a msg on...

    Help Does anyone know what the recent (last few days) update is for?

    Got a message yesterday that there is an update available. I am hoping it addresses some of the issues caused by the switch to 2.2 "Froyo". Does anyone know what it is for other than to add a few VZ apps, which I'll bet are likely stupid and not removable if past history is a guide. It is...

    Help Any word on a froyo/2.2 "Hot Fix" the techs wonder aloud about?

    Like many, I've had problems since "upgrading" to 2.2/Froyo. I now have issues with answering the phone (swipes not recognized, which multiple techs tell me is a known issue), weird orientation issues and more, NONE of which happened before. And no, I am not "rooted" (don't know what that...

    Help When I called HTC re: "Froyo"/2.2 issues they said a "hot fix" might be done.

    When I called HTC re: "Froyo"/2.2 issues they said a "hot fix" might be done. Seems they are getting INUNDATED with calls & problems. They blame Verizon for forcing them to put all kinds of bloatware in the release and more. I've had 2 reps tell me that they thing a hot fix will be issued...

    Help Why are many needing to hard reset after Froyo (v. 2.2) upgrade?

    I have seen several posts noting problems requiring a hard reset. I myself had to do this, as I couldn't always answer the phone (swipes were simply ignored about 70% of the time) and the weather widget was out, too. Had to hard reset and, from what I hear, so have many others. Why is...

    Help Froyo 2.2 now includes VZ Nav. Why use it when there is what looks like a free Google Nav free?

    What am I missing/ Version 21 had good based Nav that to me worked ok. This new update has Vz Nav, a $9.99 month service. Why would anyone ever want to pay 9.95 for what is usually free? What am I missing? Gotta figure out this update. Thanks!

    Help Non D-Inc Charger/battery question for electronics gurus:

    Sorry if this isn't the right forum/spot, but I've seen many knowledgeable people here & thought I'd ask a charger question for Sony portable DVD players. Got 2 players, an 8" and a 9". Both use the same 7.4v 3800mAh battery, yet the older 8" one has a 9.2 v 2A AC adapter that is larger &...

    Help A hard reboot seems to have fixed the erratic weather app

    Only had this phone for a week or so, but noticed that the weather widget would keep listing me as being 30 miles away. Trued deleting the cache, soft reset w/ battery removal, turning GPS on-off, re-syncing with a clear signal & more. Nothing worked. Finally tried a hard reset &...

    Got a new Dinc this evening. Still trying to figure it out. Bought the extended battery as well and wanted a shell. Many here have dremeled out and more, but I found that 2 simple slits along the long sides of the battery outline as relief cuts seemed to work just fine and keep the back of...

    Help Where do people buy apps for these phones? (Total newbie question, I know)

    Where do people obtain or buy all the apps that are supposed to be out for these phones? I did some Google searches & more & am still a bit puzzled. Those of us past 30 and don't spend half our lives on line can get a little puzzled. What are some good and reliable sources for apps? I can't...

    Hi, all- Total newbie here thinking about a DINC to replace a week old Blackberry Bold that I just can't see the screen on or get used to the insufferably tiny keys. Plus, the load time for internet searches on the is best described as "glacial". A friend has the Incredible, which I was...
