    Help Bypass Setup on ICS

    My original Incredible has been relegated to WiFi-only status since I got my Rezound a year ago. This morning, I foolishly accepted an offer for an OTA to 4.08.605.19 from the previous latest stock ICS version on my non-rooted phone.

    Root Ota 4.08.605.19

    OK, my original Incredible is currently serving as my backup (WiFi-only) in case I ever lose my Rezound. It is unrooted and running the most current stock OTA until the OTA offer this morning for 4.08.605.19. I haven't accepted the OTA, though. What disadvantages, if any, will I face if I accept...

    App updates no longer notify permissions changes?

    It used to be that my list of apps with updates available were sorted into 2 groups; those without permissions changes and those with. Now I notice they are no longer sorted. Is this an attempt to have me update all, permissions be damned? Some of the updated apps are inferior to my current...

    Help GPS vs. battery charge

    I've noticed an issue when navigating with Google Maps. With 100% battery, when I plug in my car charger I get the green LED. If I begin navigating, the LED stays amber the entire time and will eventually run the battery down. If I stop navigating, the car charger will again fully charge the...

    Help Wireless printing using wireless tethering?

    (SOLVED) I access the Internet exclusively through my Verizon HTC Incredible using my Dell D800 notebook. I have a Samsung ML-2152W laser printer with built-in wireless card that I would like to be able to print to wirelessly. My Incredible tethers wirelessly only with WPA2 encryption while the...

    Why no usb-host?

    I've been a computer user since DOS, smart phone user since Treo, Ubuntu since Dapper and I just don't get it...Why would smart phone manufacturers & Android coders leave out something as basic as usb-host mode? Seems like they almost went out of their way to do so. Cost just can't be that much...
