    Sunlight

    Last week we were on vacation at the beach. A friend has an AT&T Windows phone made by HTC. I have my Incredible 2, and my wife has her iPhone 4. We're all cupping our hands to see the displays which is still a struggle. Then my wife takes out her Verizon Blackberry (Tour? Bold?, not sure...

    Help Auto brightness App?

    Are there any apps out there that could be used to increase the aggressiveness of the autobrightness? I feel like it could be dimmer indoors/at night, which would result in battery savings. I know I can change the brightness manually, but that can be a problem if the screen is dim, I go...

    Front facing camera mirror mode

    I just noticed today that the default for the front facing camera is to act like a mirror. I noticed it because the writing on my shirt was as if I were looking in a mirror. So I decided to turn off mirror mode so that the writing would be readable, and not only does it flip horizontally...

    WatchESPN

    Has anyone noticed this app doesn't look right at all on the Inc2? I put it on my old Inc1 and it looks great. On the Inc2, even the menu buttons have fonts that aren't right, and the video doesn't fit the screen properly - we get the top left portion of the video with the rest chopped off.

    Help Car Panel not in app drawer

    Soon after getting this phone, I noticed that the Car Panel application didn't appear to be on the Inc2. However if I enter Car Panel after pressing the search button, there it is! How can I get this hidden app to appear in the app drawer, and are there any other apps that are hidden?

    Help Touchscreen haywire?

    Has anyone experienced this? Occasionally I have to reboot because it reacts strangely as if it were dirty or something. Clicking an app to start makes it think I want to drag it to the trash for example.

    Prioritize a contacts' phone numbers

    Is there a way to make my phone default to dialing a particular number in the list of a contacts numbers? For example, I may usually call a person's cell phone, however when I open the contacts, their home number may appear by default. I would like to change that to the mobile. Edit - Forget...

    Plugplayer DLNA client now available for Android

    In case anyone has been looking for the Plugplayer app that is available for the iPod, I noticed yesterday that the developer for that has come up with an Android version. Now I can watch videos stored on my NAS on my HTC Incredible! And can listen to music stored there too.

    Help UID processes and corresponding process name

    When checking partial wake usage, I sometimes see processes with a UID prefix, such as UID 10016 and UID 10033. Does anyone know of a way to figure out who that process actually is?

    Help Why install apps to SD?

    I am trying to figure out what the advantage is to installing to the SD rather than to built in storage. Since my phone has 8GB of internal storage, apps are small, and videos/music are big, wouldn't it make more sense to install the apps to the internal memory, and store media to a 32GB...

    Help Bluetooth prompt volume on Froyo

    While searching for an answer on this, I have learned that the EVO has the same problem as the Incredible. I just got my Froyo update today. When you press the button on your headset (or speakerphone) to initiate a bluetooth call, the prompt volume is very low and almost inaudible. If you...

    Help Phone touch tones have gone silent

    Does anyone know how to get them back? I am not really sure when it happened, but my audible touch tones are set to short. I have tried each of the settings for that, and have also rebooted. I do get the haptic feedback, just no touch tone sounds.

    Google Voice Quality not so good

    Has anyone else noticed that calls placed using Google Voice don't sound as good as a regular cell call? I hung up from a friend and called right back using Google Voice, and it was more difficult to understand. I was using my bluetooth speakerphone, and their voice kept fading in and out. So...

    Is Slacker still keeping your Incredible awake?

    Last night I noticed that there is an update to Slacker, so I downloaded it to my Incredible. Opened it to see if there were any visible differences, went to a station and played a song for 2 seconds, selected quit via the menu, and then "shutdown slacker" at the end. This morning I open up...

    Help Activesync gmail problems

    Is anyone else having trouble with Activesync and their gmail? Starting yesterday I stopped receiving new emails. I would keep getting the generic error it was having trouble synchronizing. A little while ago, I deleted my Activesync account and a while later, recreated it. I am only trying...

    Help How does an iPod do Yahoo IMAP mail?

    Since it is only WiFi, has anyone figured out where it goes? It must be IMAP as it behaves that way and has no issues with wifi

    Help Facebook Notifications (HTC version only??)

    I have seen quite a few posts about FB notifications. However I don't get any of these. But I installed the Android version since the HTC version didn't have an Inbox. Is that why I don't get Facebook notifications, ie is that a difference between the 2 apps? The only notifications I get are...

    Help Yahoo Plus - IMAP or SMTP?

    Pro's/cons of either setup via the HTC client? I currently have it set up using IMAP, but then I can't access email via WiFi. Yahoo doesn't support IMAP Idle, so it can't simulate push mail. Therefore you need to set a frequency for it to poll. I was thinking of switching to SMTP so...

    Battery meter better after OTA update?

    Maybe it's just a coincidence, but after being unplugged for an 100 minutes, my battery is still showing 100%, and during this hour and 40 minute time period, I was talking on it for 16 minutes. If I did this yesteday, there is no way the battery would still show 100%

    What keeps the phone "Awake"?

    Is "awake time" a battery killer? When I look at my battery use, it shows "Up time" as 27:45, and "awake time" as 19:51. Is that a realistic ratio, or is something keeping my phone awake that would cause the drain?
