[sk8erdh36]

how did you get the date to stay? every time i try changing it, it just reverts back to today. i see activity on the 3g for a moment then it just goes away

It reverted back to today immediately. But I still got it.

I'm trying to make the DROIDDDD my ringtone/txt sound. I have it as a .wav and .mp3 on my desktop. How do I save it on my phone/make it my notification sound? I attached it in my email and it lets me preview but not save.

I finally got it! at 10:40 pm in LA.

went swimming at 10:20, came out at 10:40 and had the update when checked the phone to look at Cardio Trainer to track my workout! Lost the workout but update is installing, taking a good 15 minutes

Has anyone done a factory reset and not been able to activate?

Everything else after the factory reset is great. Phone is snappier than ever! I just can't make calls. haha

Yes. Just got off the phone with VZW. They say their system is updating and will be back up at 5am EST. Cant activate until then.

Guess the CSR's computers are getting FroYo too !!!

Download Zedge from the market. Search for droid in ringtones. Download it as set it as whatever you want.

Fantastic! I did a factory reset and now it wants me to activate, but won't. Of course, Verizon is closed. Nice!

As per VZW, they are updating their system and will be back up at 5am EST

Date tricked worked for me also, changed it to september 30, powered the phone off and back on, and bam, when you check for system updates, it found it, so excited, love froyo!

Thanks.

On a side note, it lost connection a few times after searching. Weird.

Thanks dude. I do wonder how you "got off the phone with VZW." After my activation failed it transferred me to a service rep and the automated message said they were closed.

In any event, thanks for the heads up! I'll try again in the morning.

Definitely did the date trick and it worked! Froyo in nyc...definitely need it in this hot weather!!!

LOL I do have a home phone. You select the option for lost/stolen phone reporting and unable to make calls and you get their emergency center which is 24 hours.

Date trick worked here too! Downloading now. I tried this Saturday and it didn't work, but that was in the afternoon. Maybe I should have tried it later that night. Anyways, hands to the sides, nose in the air, and doin' the Snoopy dance!!!

P.S. SeattleYanksFan, have you thought to try *228 and either option 1 (program), or if you have your old phone handy, option 3 (program a different phone and then switch back)? Don't know if that would screw something up after a factory reset as I have never done one yet, but maybe something to try.

Got my update at 7:10 PM HAWAIIAN TIME. Now my Incredible life is updated and sweet1

You have a home phone in 2010? Let me guess, you also have a pager and record player.

Believe it or not I tried that on my cell when it wouldn't activate and it sent me to some automated guy telling me there were no reps available.

Either way, glad to know it's not just me! Then again, after dropping my naked Incredible for the first time today, I added a few scratches to the case (not the screen thank god) and wouldn't have minded a new one.

I finally got my update. It popped up on my screen around 1045pm PST (I'm in Seattle, WA). Everything went smoothly. I ended up doing a phone wipe after the upgrade. Scrolling and such seems much more snappier. Phone seems clearer and signal is stronger. I have noticed one problem so far. Twitter for HTC Sense cannot login into my Twitter account. It says incorrect username and password. I verified what I typed in was correct but, still nada. Yet, I downloaded the Twitter app and input the same exact login info and it worked. Has anyone else had any an issue like this happen?

Who the hell uses Twitter anyway? The 1 term President whose always on vacation? Screw that!!

Yeah yeah, lol. There are people I follow...they're funny and I do keep in touch with some friends that way too. At any rate this is the second thing where something with HTC's damned Sense UI has login issues. First its their mail client and Hotmail's ActiveSync setup. HTC's mail client doesn't work. Now, it seems their UI can't login into Twitter now. It was working fine with 2.1 I wonder what went wrong.

I did find a page of someone talking about a potential cause. I will be following to see. It looks like many other people are experiencing this. In case anyone gets interested,

It seems you were right. I had edited my post to link to an article I found about it. I also checked HTC's Twitter page and they are very aware of the issue. The so called "developers" are on the case. Lol

 

[DevilsSi1481]

how about the youtube widget that came on our phones, the camcorder button and the search button dont work, and it only shows most viewed. if i click on the video currently there it starts playing it. to use it otherwise, i have to go to the apps list. anyone else have that problem?
