    When I use the microphone to dictate a text, often it will transcribe what I am saying, then repeat it again exactly when I press the microphone button to pause or stop. Any one else have this issue? Driving me crazy!

    Help [Resolved]Nav asks to cancel when returning (using double tap home button)

    Used Navi on my One today for the first time. When I went to another app (like to make a call) and then double-tapped the home icon to bring the app back to the foreground (or clicked the Navi icon), I got a dialog asking me if I really wanted to "Exit Navigation" or some such. Wussupwiddat? TIA

    Help Anyone have problems turning their DInc ON?

    I often struggle with powering the thing up. It's in an Otterbox case, so that might be part of the problem, but, I press ON and nothing happens. Again, again, again ... hold down ... nothing. Is it me? Or my case?

    After a week with the phone ...

    ... I still like it a lot, and will keep it, but have some more observations to share. - The screen is readable outside, but it's not great, and it's almost unreadable in direct sunlight. The keyboard is especially bad. If you do a lot of typing on your phone outside, this isn't the device...

    Need external battery charger

    ...I gave up caring about battery life on my DINC2 when I started carrying a charged second battery with me. Pretty sure I can get another battery for my DINC 4g but where to find a standalone charger? The HTC dock I saw only charges the phone. Any help? TIA, -kj-

    Got mine! First impressions & questions...

    VERY impressed! The phone is CRAZY responsive. Screen is beautiful. Narrowness vs. my INC2 is not so great but I'll live (wish it was the same form factor, love the 2" screen.) It's FAST, FAST, FASSSSSSST! Menus (ICS 4.0) are taking a little getting used to. Sense is awesome. Light, solid...

    Droid Incredible 4? Eh? Apparently so!

    This just came in the mail - flyer on the new family share plans. Looks like VZW has dropped the 'g' and the LTE from the branding!

    I have two standard OEM batteries and always have the 2nd one charged and ready to go. I have noticed that when I swap batteries (after a proper shutdown of course): - the initial boot takes MUCH longer; the little balls around the 'eye' don't move. - background services for Yahoo!Mail...

    Help Phone not shutting off completely?

    Sometimes when I power down the screen goes dark like it should but the nav buttons on the bottom stay on. I have to turn the phone back on and then off again. Not using Launcher or anything like that. What could be causing this? Some other app like Setting Profiles?

    VZW Screen Protectors

    Was a little concerned when I saw these DO NOT COVER the entire screen, then I thought to myself, why would it have to? It covers the main part you're always touching (other than the home buttons). These are NOT crystal clear, they are slightly anti-glare. As a result, they do SLIGHTLY impact...

    I have a DLink DIR-655 router (awesome BTW) on my home LAN and my DInc seems to randomly disconnect when idle.

    My DInc died and its refurb replacement arrived Friday. (Very happy with the quality of the refurb BTW.)

    Help Can you tether via USB and NOT charge the phone?

    My laptop's battery drained even faster because it was charging the DInc. Prefer USB tethering for the speed (was getting 2.3 Mb/s yesterday) - seem to recall bluetooth tethering is slower, no? TIA!
