    Verizon national data outage

    Just called Verizon since a few people in the Indianapolis area are buzzing on Twitter about a data outage. The lady I spoke with confirmed it is a national data outage they just became aware of 10-15 minutes ago. Her suggestion was to check your phone every hour or so. :(

    Is Sprint 4G truly unlimited?

    Is the 4G data plan truly unlimited as Sprint's website indicates (unlimited 4G, 5gb max for 3G) or does it get throttled after a certain amount? I am really wanting to leave AT&T Uverse because of poor service and the cable option (BrightHouse) isn't any better. 4G is not yet available here...

    G2 signal attenuation - any better?

    I briefly had a G2 and quickly returned it to T-Mo and stayed with Verizon due to the signal attenuation issues I had. Additionally, I saw numerous posts about this on AF, XDA, T-Mo Forums and a few other places I cannot remember. My question is, have the software updates that have been pushed...

    Help Major signal drop when picking up phone

    Has anybody else noticed the drop in signal when you pick up your phone? I can have it sitting on my desk with 3-4 bars and the HSPA indicator on, then pick it up and watch it drop down to 0-1 bars and no data indicator. It then takes about four minutes to get back up to the level it was at...

    Is there a way to completely disable the startup, shutdown and SD mounting/unmounting sounds? I changed my default notification tone to a 0.1 second long silent mp3 file, but I still get a fairly loud electronic phone ringing sound when I do any of these. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

    Incredible Timer inaccuracy

    I had the timer running on my phone this afternoon and went back to open it to see how much time was left. There was a certain amount of minutes and about five seconds remaining and I noticed it skipped four seconds after that and moved on to the next minute. After watching for a few minutes, it...

    Verizon Date & Time problem

    Is anybody else having this problem? I just went to do a foursquare update and wondered why my device says I am in England. Then I noticed that the clock says 4:50pm. While I do wish it was that time of day, it won't be for another five hours. My first fix was to change the Date & Time...

    The battery life on my Incredible is starting to get a bit low so I decided to charge it for a bit at my office. Upon plugging it in, I noticed the notification LED was flashing in an alternating green/amber. Doing a quick search, I learned this is an indication it is overheating. No special...
