    Help Google Voice Setup for Voicemail

    Sorry if this is a dumb question but I can't find the answer. I want to use Google Voice for my voicemail and that is all I want to use it for. On my HTC-Incredible when I set it up I got a message saying something on the lines of "your carrier is not set up for automatic configuration of...

    Root Radio problems maybe?

    So I installed Liquid Smooth 3.2 and have been running it for a while with no issues other than the known ones, and I can live with that. But lately, when I leave for work in the morning, my phone is on wifi at the house, so about the time I pull out the driveway it gets out of range of the...

    Incipio Silicrylic Case

    Ever started to drop something, and then in an effort to catch it you end up knocking it to the ground, and it really would've been better off to just let it fall? I did that this morning with my Thunderbolt. :-( I was worried the screen broke at first, but it didn't. The screen wasn't...

    Root Going back to stock without losing Root?

    So I rooted my bolt using the Revoultionary method, and I've tried a couple of different AOSP roms, which I prefer, and both have been buggy enough that I can't use them for my daily driver (and really I am not a ROM swapper, I find one that works, and stick with it.) So I want to go back to...

    Help Verizon's Corporate Email option?

    I setup my Incredible for my company's exchange server email. Are they going to up my $30 data plan to a $45 data plan (the one that says Corporate Email) or is that just for Blackberry's? Thanks!

    Root Unroot info?

    I am wanting to put my corporate email on my Incredible, and they say that you can do this for any Android 2.2 (or higher) phone, (rooted phones not allowed). First, how would they know if I was rooted or not? Second, if in fact I really can't be rooted, how do I get my phone completely...

    Thunderbolt versus Incredible-2

    I know this isn't the forum for either of those phones, but I am in the same boat as a lot of you here, in that I am presently using a rooted Incredible running GB. And I am probably going to be upgrading close to the end of the year, and I wanted to know something about these phones...

    Help Weak signal when others have 4 bars?

    So I have never had a good signal at work. It's a metal building, which doesn't help. Outside I can usually get 2 or 3 bars, but inside, usually it just searches for a signal. So recently (last week) we installed a repeater. Basically a huge antenna outside picks up the cellular signal...

    Accessories Media Audio via Bluetooth

    So I have a pretty old ear piece made by Motorola. It's an H500. And I do not believe it is capable of playing media audio from my Incredible. I've tried. So is there an inexpensive BT earpice out there that has this ability. And by "inexpensive" I mean around $30 or less. Or am I...

    Help Issue with LP+ Facebook widget

    For whatever reason all of a sudden, when I click a post, it would normally bring up the comments, but now it doesn't. Anyone else had this problem? How did you resolve it? I am just using FriendCaster for now, but I would much rather get my widget working again if possible. Any help...

    Root XTR-Rom equivalent for the Inc?

    As you can probably tell from the title, I am an old Eris user that upgraded to the Inc. I had rooted my Eris because the stock rom was slow and lame. The first and only rom I ever flashed to my Eris was XTR-Rom_5.0, which I believe was the final release. I liked it so much, I never saw...

    Help Why can't I set any MP3 as ringtone?

    I have a ton of MP3's and on my old Eris, I could just set any of them as a ringtone if I wanted to. I can't do this on my Inc. How come? Is it because my Eris was rooted, and my Inc is not?

    Question about multiple launchers.

    Ok, I like the sense widgets, but I much prefer the LauncherPro+ launcher, and I can live with LP+ widgets. When I install LP+ and I hit home the first time, it asks me if I want to use Sense or LP+ to go home. And if I don't check the box for default, it will always ask me everytime I hit...

    Sending back the TB, accessories up for grabs.

    Anyone want a black Casemate pop and a Steinhill (SGP) Ultra-Crystal screen protector for cheap? I am sending back my Thunderbolt, and getting a dumbphone. After much thought, I really don't think a 4.3" Android phone fits my lifestyle very well. I am going to get a Casio Brigade. I'll get a...

    Help Random shut-downs?

    My phone is shutting down automatically at least 5 or 6 times per day now. Sometimes I'll be in the middle of a phone call. Other times I'll be messing with an app. Other times, the phone will just be sitting there with the screen off. Other times, it will be plugged into the charger. Sometimes...

    Help Can you activate a non-stock Eris?

    Can my Eris that is flashed to xtrRom_5.0 be activated on someone else's account "as is," without reflashing to stock? The reason I ask is I want to sell my Eris on eBay, but I don't want someone to buy it and then not be able to activate it because it's not stock. Thanks in advance!

    Adding a line to get the upgrade discount.

    I already have a family plan with just two lines, and neither line was eligible for an upgrade, so the salesguy told me I could just add a line for $10 per month, and I could buy the Thunderbolt with that new line's discount, then I could just switch the Thunderbolt to my line afterwards, and...

    What is it?

    Under the battery door, to the right of the camera lense, there is a little rubber cover. If you remove it, you see two little brass-colored connectors. What is that for? External antenna? Seems like a kind of inconvenient place if that's what it is. Anyone know?

    Help Do I need to format my SD card?

    I am going to get an Incredible next month. Right now I have an Eris, and I have a 16Gb SDcard in it, which has tons of stuff on it. Music pictures, app skins, data, etc. When I get my Incredible, do I need to do anything special to that card to make it ready for the new phone? When I...

    Accessories Verizon Speck Case

    http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12252&accessoryId=46298 I was leaning toward the Case-Mate Tough Case, but I didn't know there was a Speck case available, since it's not listed on Speck's website, but I was browsing accessories on...

    Root Is rooting/romming worth it?

    Hi, this is my first post in the Incredible section. I am currently an Eris user, but my wife is getting me a Dinc next month for my b-day. YAY! Rooting/Romming the Eris is definitely worth the effort without a doubt, because it is EXTREMELY laggy if you don't. But that is mainly because it's...

    The best Facebook app?

    I think I tried the Sense widget and/or app back when my phone was stock, and it just took too long to load all the posts and comments up when I opened it, and when I just went to facebook.com with the browser it was much faster. But the problem is it goes to the mobile site by default, and...

    Root HTC clock/weather widget

    I rooted and installed xtr-ROM_5.0 and thus lost my HTC clock/weather widget. I bought beautiful widgets, and used that one. But it's just not the same. I miss the animations, like the windshield wiper, and snow, etc. (not that I see the snow animation very often in Houston, TX, but still. :)...

    Help Disabling stock SMS app?

    I've downloaded HandcentSMS because it works quicker than the stock SMS app, and it's cooler looking with the bubbles and whatnot. But now when I get a message, and I get two notifications, one from each of the messaging apps. How do I disable the stock messaging app? I have turned off...

    Tethering

    I know back in the day (i.e. the last time I checked on it) Verizon charged you for tethering. They had a tethering plan, which I think was x amount of dollars per MB or GB. Can I tether with my rooted xtr-ROM Eris without using a plan like that? Can a non-rooted Android phone also do this...
