I've always been curious about this feature. Can you see the message that were blacklisted? Or do they not come into the phone at all?

Just go in to Settings > Security & Privacy > put a check next to Show Blacklist and those people will show up on your list like normal.

If you want to manage the list (say, to remove the pesky ex-boyfriend because you got back together) then just click on the Manage Blacklist option and remove his number.

it does have a lanyard hole on the bottom left of the phone

By gosh you are right. I said it wouldn't be in the way.. . hell I didn't even know it was there and I've had the phone half a year lol. Thanks.

I was under the impression you had to buy a service in order to block all calls/SMS from a number. I know one of the services they offer has this as a feature. I checked their website but did not call because I am having a similar problem.

handcent does this for free.

Control my computer's window's media player (or even VLC player) in robust ways (I've tried like 6 apps, and they all have serious limitations)

I would like to have the power to edit video into clips that I can send via mms. Also would like to be able to record super slo-mo video. Both were available and used with my previous phone, the LG dare. Go figure. Still I love my INCREDIBLE phone like a brother.

I am so right there with ya! I loved that about my Dare!

I've been curious about doing this. I have Froyo, rooted. How do I turn these lights off?

There's an app in the market. I can't remember what it's called exactly. Just search for LED. It says clearly it's for root users only, and it lets you manage the lights on the device. Notes say it's Incredible compatible.

Everything that kills the battery, play games, listen to music, watch movies, all this and everything my phone currently does I wish I could do with the DINC.

Batteries are the issue, and pretty much for everything.

I'm not familiar with audible but the stock player seems to interrupt what's playing when you receive an incoming call.. and resumes at that point when the call is ended. It is not "all that" when it comes to finding a particular song to play or random play but seems to function as you are wanting.... or am I missing something?

I listen to podcasts of talk shows. They may be an hour or longer. If you power off or exit out of the player to use another app, it just starts the audio over when you go to it again. I didn't realize that it paused during a call though so thanks for that info. The bookmarking thing is my only issue now.

Being able to use it as a universal remote would be cool. And being able to make video calls via Skype

You can use it as a PC universal remote, with an app called "Universal Remote." It has Windows Media Player controls, Powerpoint controls, a trackpad and keyboard and a few others. It has to be able to connect to your phone via wifi though. There's another one called Gmote that allows you to browse for media files in their folders on the computer as well.

Can't say anything about Skype video calls, but there's an app called Knocking that allows you to send or receive a video call, but not both at the same time last I used it (back when it was in beta, also did not have sound but I could make a phone call and turn on speakerphone then start the video call).

I have the same issue. (Although, interestingly, I didn't under 2.1. The stock player would pick up where I left off) I downloaded Astro Player which has a bookmarking feature and it's pretty much my dedicated podcast app now. Works great.

I was thinking the other day of some other things I think the Incredible is missing

I'd like to be able to upload video on to Facebook . Don't understand how the Android app is soo far behind the iphone app

I use Gmote, but it would be fun to be able to turn my tv on and off with it too. Gmote is great, being able to listen to any of my music anywhere in and around my house is so nice.

To be able to send videos in txt messages and to upload videos straight to Facebook.....With my old LG env touch I could send 1 minute videos in txt messages....longest I can send with this phone is 10 seconds.

I wish mine could do accounting homework.. and feed the information to my brain.

If I have my alarm set and turn off my phone I wish the phone would turn on and activate the alarm like my BlackBerry would do. I usually charge my phone at night and keep it shut off, that way I avoid having to bump charge it.

ACD168 · Dec 6, 2010

I find it easier to just charge the phone for an hour with it off before bed so I can use my phone as an alarm keep 3g off and I still have 98% battery worst case, I like to charge with it off, much faster, and you don't need to have it on the charger all night for no reason.

I would love it if gps wood would automatically kick in when I'm using navigation instead of having to go through that stupid agteement screen!

I love my incredible but it needs two things.

1.) a seaker that does not go bad in 2 - 4 months. I am on my 3rd Incredible as it keeps blowing the external speaker and now plays music and alerts very staticy. Might be the Alarm tone doing it as this last one I have not played any music on it.

2.) Needs a 5 inch screen - I do not need a tablet like the new Dell Streak. I just need my Incredible to have a 5 inch screen and I would be all set.

3.) well if I got #2 then I would want LTE 4G on Incredible too.

Well both #2 and #3 would have to be an Incredible II
