Droid Incredible 2 question?

I plugged my Droid into my laptop. I got the message that it could not find the driver for my phone. So I let windows try to fix it. It could not find the driver either. What can I do? Where can I find the driver? Is there a driver for this phone?

Droid incredible questions: extended battery, issues, battery charging phenomenon, apps

hi. im considering the droid incredible as a possible droid i want to purchase for myself when my contract runs out with my other service provider. ive been researching alot about it and the droid x (another choice) and wanted to ask about some new things that have come up that i would like to know more about.
1) lately ive been noticing more and more about these extended batteries for the droid incredible that take it from the 1300 mah to 2150 or this big one, the 3500. the 2150 is on the verizon website and stuff while the others are from amazon and other websties. first of all is this safe to have on a phone like this? does having a bigger battery and somethign go wrong with teh phone due to it ruin the warranty or something (thats assuming im using the proper extended battery from verizon store)? is getting a extended battery from another company or store a bad idea, and if so why?
and if any more information about the extended batteries that you could share with me would be great also.
2) have there been any great issues about the droid incredible that is outside the normal (glithces, restarts, and so forth) that one should consider?
3) there has been something on the internet about a different way of charging the phone so to get better battery life out of it. i think it goes charging it then unplug the phone then turn off phone then plug back in for 20 mins then finally phone charged. is that really necessary or something? is that a problem for the phone right now?
and lastly
4) does the droid incredible get the same kind of apps all the other phones do or does it get special ones just for it?
thanks for your help

1. We recommend the extended batteries that we offer, as those batteries are quality tested and come with a manufacturers warranty. We do not recommend batteries from third party vendors, because unapproved batteries may damage the device and can void the manufacturer's warranty. If the battery is offered by HTC and a supported product, you can check with the manufacturer to see if it would be covered with the Manufacturer's Warranty. The Extended 2150mAh battery is the battery that we recommend. That battery will not affect the Manufacturer's Warranty. It actually comes with a 1 year manufacturers warranty on it. The 2150mAh battery is basically the same battery, as the standard battery, it just has a lower the battery voltage discharge over a set time interval making it last longer.
2. Issues with the HTC Droid Incredible are pretty much like any Smartphone device, there are problems that come up, but those are usually fixed with updates. Because you are getting a later build of the device, it is unlikely that you would encounter any significant issues with the device.
3. There is no need to charge the battery in any other way than the recommended way. Newer batteries are more resistant to overcharging and will charge quickly.
4. The HTC Droid Incredible would have access to the Android Market Place. It would have access to over 10,000 applications on the Android Market.

How to create unique notification sounds for email on Droid Incredible 4G LTE

I have three separate email accounts pushed to my Droid Incredible 4G LTE. I can't for the life of me figure out how to set up unique notification sounds for each email account. It was a snap to do on my old Blackberry.
Same question for flagging individuals within my contact list. (E.g., if my wife calls it makes one sound, if a client calls it makes a different sound.)
Does anyone know how to do this, or, as they say, is there an app for that???
Thanks in advance!

I don't think you can on the email but got to each contact and edit them for different sounds, I'm not sure if it works on that new phone that way but as they don't have a dedicated room yet for it you had nowhere else to ask htc has good forums also

Using Droid Incredible internationally

I know there are a lot of different posts regarding using the HTC Droid Incredible in international CDMA locations. I am travelling to Israel which is a CDMA country. I plan on using my phone for wifi and GPS only (i have cached google maps around the area that I will be staying). I do NOT plan on making any phone calls whatsoever. I have been told to put the phone in airplane mode and then enable wifi. But I have also seen on this board people who have said that even in airplane mode, some apps (news, weather, etc.) will sneak data via autosync updatingand you will be charged the roaming data rate. Again, this is even when the phone is in airplane mode.
I have seen posts where it says for added protection you should go to settings ---> accounts & sync; and then disable "background data" to prevent this. But someone said they were told that android based phones just ignore this setting and still sync data even when the box is unchecked and in airplane mode (???). And also someone posted that even if you select "Deny data roaming access" that it still ignores this selection and does data roaming anyways.
Is there any surefire way to make sure that data is sent and received ONLY when connected to wifi and at no other time??

Hello ucsdjosh!
Israel sounds like a great place to visit! I would like to assist you with options for restricting network data while traveling abroad.
There are a few settings you can change to avoid data roaming charges while in Israel. First, I would disable Data and Data Roaming in the Settings menu. You can also enable Airplane Mode in order to turn off any network voice and data connections, while still having access to connect via Wi-Fi. This will ensure you do not incur any voice or data roaming charges while traveling abroad.
I trust I have answered your questions, and have addressed your concerns. I hope you enjoy your trip to Israel as well.

Droid Incredible 4g lte global services not working in UK

Purchased global plan for travel in UK, got here, no service. I contacted support and after nearly an hour with two different people, they've started a problem ticket. I can get a list of network operators on GSM/ dual, but cannot connect. I have tried GSM only as well. It does not seem that I have the very latest software update, but when I check via WiFi for new updates, there aren't any. Does anyone have any clues about how to get this thing to work?

The DROID Incredible 4G LTE should already be running either Android 4.0+ for its operations system. Which means you can disable many of the pre-installed applications. Go to settings > Apps > slide to the All view. Disable each application individually. You might have to uninstall any updates before the disable button is available.
The DROID Eris is only three years old. It was released in November 2009. 12 minus 9 equals 3.
Also you should be aware, you posted your message on the Verizon Wireless Community. This is a peer to peer forum where customers can give suggestions and advice to other customers with their questions and issues.
If you need immediate assistance call customer service at *611 from your phone or 1-800-922-0204 from another phone. You can also use the "Contact Us" link at the top of the website. However the response from that avenue might also be delayed due to the holidays.

Manually Install Froyo 2.2 on Droid Incredible

Hello all!
Didn't get your update OTA yet? Do it yourself!
How to Manually Install Android 2.2 Froyo On Your Verizon Droid Incredible
I just did it and it was easy! Enjoy

Ok... so for those few on this thread who have installed it... I have a couple of newbie questions.
1. How do you know you have the 2.2 update? The only thing I can think of is to go into the camera and check for the 720p thing.
Go to menu -> settings -> about phone -> software // That'll give you the version
2. What all did you get on the update? Hotspot? 720p HD video capability? What? Anything else?
Pretty icons, city ID that never stops, Skype mobile whether you want it or not, the ability to rotate the screen to the right now instead of just the left. Seriously, not a lot. Definitely nothing for people to ose sleep over. *edit** I forgot one important thing - I hear that it also enables bluetooth voice dialing. I haven't tried it yet. If this is true, then I would say that the update gets a definite +1. This is a feature that, even though I rarely need it, should be standard on every phone in existence.
3. What exactly is the "root" folder it talks about when doing it manually? And is it safe to do it this way? Especially off of some site.
The root of the SDcard just means to put the downloaded file on your sd card, but NOT in a folder. Just drop it on there, all by it's lonesome. It has nothing to do with "rooting" your phone, in case you were curious. That's an entirely different animal.
Hope that helps a bit! Enjoy.
Sorry for the newbie questions. Your help is appreciated.

Can someone who just received a NEW droid incredible PLEASE help me?

I only had my droid incredible for 6 weeks until it gave an error message and stopped working. Verizon couldn't fix it so of course my new incredible was replaced with a USED/REFURBISHED one. I just recieved the used/new incredible (it comes with out a battery or back!) and the s/n, hex, and other barcodes on the back are barely even legible (leading me to believe this phone has had a lot of usage). Well verizon said thats how the 'new' phones look.
So my question for anyone that just recieved a brand new incredible, can you look at the back of your phone (remove the battery) and tell me if the s/n #s etc look faded? Also, on my original incredible, the words S/N, MEID HEX, MEID DEX, line up with the barcode (directly underneath) but on the used replacement, the S/N, HEX, DEX words are to the left of the barcode.
I greatly appreciate it anyone that is willing to let me know....

it sounds to me like that's just a printing issue. they prolly ran a huge batch of these stickers through a bad machine. i wouldn't worry much about the refurbished device. i actually order their refurds from time to time because they are every bit as good as a new device. in fact, sometimes better. they sample test new devices so not every new phone gets tested. the refurbs are all tested. now there coulb issues they don't catch in the testing, but i believe you actually have a better chance of getting a bad device when it's a brand new one, then when it's a refurb. i actually just bought my wife an allias II refurb 2 months ago. they are usully less then half of the retail price and they are as good as new.

Droid Incredible Power button

This has probably asked before. If it has then I apologize. I have the Droid Incredible. It is by far the best phone I have ever had. This is the second HTC phone I have owned. My question is, is there any way to NOT have to push the power button on the top of the phone top get the phone to wake up. This is, simply put, a pain the the derriere. All I want to do is one of these options. Touch the screen, touch a menu button or the optical button. I do not want to touch the power button or the volume control buttons. I have looked on Phandroid forums and tried a variety of screen lock features, but all they do is address the screen swipe. They don't address the power button issue. Can someone help?

@walkinaz08, check out these two applications in the market...
Proximity Screen Off
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.itsme4ucz.screenoff&feature=search_result
Tap Tap App
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.maicas.android.wsleep&feature=search_result
Both seem to use the proximity sensor instead of a power button. I personally have not tried them, but think that this is what you are looking for...
Hope this helps!

Droid Incredible 4G LTE - Ridiculous bloatware killing phone (Staff response requested)

Before you even read all of it, please tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree, and where I need to go to get an answer to this.
My question is: Why can't I uninstall default apps I don't want?
I was given a Droid Incredible 4G LTE for Christmas to replace my 4 year old Droid Eris, and while I really really like this phone, its battery life is an issue. So my first thought is, "keep the brightness down, install a task killer and see if that helps." Hardly. My battery life has gone from 6 to around 8 hours of minimal use, so I've done some more digging around. Looking around the advanced task killer app on my incredible 4g LTE, I am appalled at how many forced applications and services are on this phone, AND how they start up randomly and cannot be stopped. I have multiple examples prepared after only owning this phone for three days.
First off, what in the world is the deal with this forced bloatware? NFL Mobile, Amazon Kindle, TuneIn and Slacker radio, Amazon MP3, Verizon Tones, Google+, etc. These apps cannot be uninstalled, and many of them open automatically upon startup and slow the phone/eat battery life. Ex: slacker radio, google+, Amazon MP3 opens whenever I open my music. I can't even disable them without having to root my phone and use an app freezer, and I can't even do that because Verizon refuses to release an HTCDev unlocker for the 4G LTE. (but I can sort of understand that for people taking advantage of the 4g capability)
Why in the world would anyone think that this was a good idea?
I fully read the terms and conditions of my contract to ensure that this wasn't included, and after nearly an hour, Verizon does not reserve any right to manage a user's personal applications against their will, only the phone's operating system. I don't want NFL Mobile, Amazon Kindle, TuneIn and Slacker radio, Amazon MP3, Verizon Tones or Google+, and I have no way to uninstall or disable them. That is RIDICULOUS. I even have an option to defer from software/firmware updates, the fact that I can't remove these unwanted applications is insulting.
Also, some other examples:
4 instances of Google Maps open at once for no apparent reason. I don't have anything (weather widget, clock, weather lock screen) that warrants google maps or location services needing to open. What in the world is going on there?
My bluetooth service cannot be force stopped.
My Notes (two instances of this app open) and Calender applications open randomly; although I intend to keep and use these apps, this is very annoying.
Facebook opens randomly for no apparent reason.

The DROID Incredible 4G LTE should already be running either Android 4.0+ for its operations system. Which means you can disable many of the pre-installed applications. Go to settings > Apps > slide to the All view. Disable each application individually. You might have to uninstall any updates before the disable button is available.

HTC DROID INCREDIBLE DESKTOP SYNC & CHARGER FOR 2150 mAh BATTERY

While I await my HTC DROID INCREDIBLE I did what I always do when buying any mobile device; I ordered the largest capacity battery so I never have to put up with the low batt message. Talk to people all the time & they are always having to charge their batteries cause they never get the extended battery. Anyway, two 2150 mAh batteries with backs, are in route to my house. Question is, where is a desktop/sync charger for this phone that will also charge these larger batteries
I will be needing to sync w/my PC. Like the desktop docking station style. Easier to see too.
Anybody looking into this one???
Oh yeah, Yes, I gave up the iphone. To much inconsistency about the truth of whether Verizon was getting it. Jobs may have said it's coming to providers but as usual, no date.
Yes, I know about LTE. My antique E815 is dying & so was my patients
Hope this Incredible is a good one. I did notice the touch screen was excellent. That impressed me
Found this Sync/charger online. Company says it will accommodate the 2150 mHa battery while docked plus charge the second 2150 mAh battery too. Not sure I believe them. I asked them if it didn't work can I return it. They told me yes but there would be a restocking fee. I replied, "You are guaranteeing me it will work but if for some reason it does not you are gonna charge me a restocking fee???" They said, "Yes". Don't like the sound of that.
http://www.thinkhtcincredible.com/htc-droid-incredible-desktop-charger-10078.html

i don't think that will work. the micro usb port on the phone is on the lower left side of it.....RIGHT where it appears the dock you posted has side grips for the phone. this looks more like a universal type of dock that would work.....if htc hadn't put the port on THE SIDE of the phone (don't get me started on this....i just dont get why they didn't put the port on the bottom???). i suspect that there is no real dock for the inc because the port is on the side and our homescreen doesn't go to landscape mode (don't get me started on that either). there are some decent universal stands that i've seen....but nothing that the phone will just plug into.

Droid Incredible - Replacement Under Manufacturer warranty?

I was curious if anyone has experienced this issue before, and how you went about fixing it.
For a few months now my Incredible's screen wouldn't lock when the power button was pushed. Usually time, autolocking, or eventually it responding locked the screen (or a reset). Occasionally even the lower lights would flash intermittently, on their own, or the screen would wig out and switch to left or right (like you might gesture it to) without touching it.
Beyond these myriad problems, the issue finally peaked yesterday evening. The night before I'd plugged it in to charge, but the screen never locked automatically as per the timeout settings it had always operated on. i.e. leave it alone long enough and it'll shut off and return to a locked screen when you try turning it on again. The entire next day, it never dimmed or shut off, per the settings I just mentioned. I thought nothing of it because, it's happened before. After getting it to restart once, it still refused to shut off or lock the screen - so I left it to die hoping running the battery down would allow a restart.
When I went to plug it in to charge, it only so much as registers in a 'flash' of the HTC Incredible start screen, before shutting off again. It hasn't gone any further since. I thought it might be a faulty charger cable - so I tried my car charger. The same result. Now, the connector for the chargers has been rocky since a few months after I got it - but I've never had a single issue with it not being able to charge. Not until today that is.
So after this novel my question boils down to - did you have these issues? If you did, what did you to do solve it? Just buy a new handset?
This phone is under warranty - it will be a full year come December 2011. I also pay monthly for coverage, but the handset is neither lost or stolen. Just refuses to not behave as if it's possessed. Oh, and the best part? Months ago when I tried finding another phone case? I was told the Droid Incredible is no longer carried/made. Should I expect a comparable replacement, or a full retail charge on my card for replacing the phone?
Fingers crossed the pics and contacts are retrievable.. thanks for your help in advance.

LDubya, after reading your post I said to myself, wow! The issues your dealing with sound very frustrating and I can understand how concerned you are with making sure their resolved. We are as equally concerned with finding a resolution for your issue. Lets start with the lock functionality of your phone. I was not able to locate the issue with your screen lock as a known issue and we currently do not have a fix for it. The issue with your phone not charging, has been reported and has been lifted up to the manufacture for further investigation. With the charging and battery issue, we are waiting on the manufacture to find out if there will be a fix or workaround for resolving this issue. If they notify us of a fix, we can inform our customers.
We can check the software on your phone to ensure the functionalities on your device are working properly. The last software update for the Incredible was September 1, 2011. Here is a link below to review additional information regarding the last update and directions to download it to your device. Although some of the benefits of this update do not directly fix your specific issues, updating your phone can often times resolve other minor issues. I recommend, simply checking the software on your phone and updating if their is one available.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/system_update/htc_incredible.html
Lastly, I want to apologize for not being able to locate the accessory you want for your phone (case). I certainly understand this type of frustration and would like you to know that we request the manufacture to make accessories for all our devices when they are released and as they are being made. Once the manufacture stops producing the phone because we no longer carry it or because they are making a newer version, they also stop producing accessories for that phone. This would not warranty a replacement. However, all the issues you mentioned aside from the case may warranty a Certified LIke New Replacement of the same model, if your phone has no physical or water damager.
You can send me a private message to assist you with trouble-shooting and replacement options or you can call customer service at 1-800-922-0204 from an alternate phone.
I listed the steps to a factory reset as a last option but remember, performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications.
1) From the home screen, select the applications tab (located in the lower-left).
2) Select Settings.
3) Select SD & phone storage.
4)From the Personal data section, select Factory data reset.
5) Select the appropriate option:
-Reset phone
-Resets the phone
-Reset phone & Internal storage
-Resets the phone and the internal storage
6)Select Erase everything.
7)Perform initial activation.

Droid Incredible 2 RED - touch screen intermittantly unresponsive Brand NEW Phone!

I just got this phone today and I am having so many issues. The whole touch screen seems to be SUPER slow. Then it will lock-up or freeze. When I put the phone into sleep mode and wake it back up, it will usually unlock. What can I do to fix this as I have very few apps (4 apps now, but it still froze with 0 apps), did a factory re-set and this is still happening! I am thinking the only link could be to importing my contacts.... Any thoughts?
By the way, HTC, you could FIX THE CURRENT PROBLEMS BEFORE MAKING MORE. I just had to get this phone because the last update ruined my less then 1 year old Droid Incredible.

Hello alalsip,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Incredible 2. It sounds like you have done all the troubleshooting steps that's recommended on a new device. The good is that you are within your 14-day return policy. We can exchange your Red Incredible 2 for another at not cost to you. If this solution works for you then that would be great. If you would like to exercise the device exchange to another make and model then you have that option as well. Keep in mind that there may be a price difference, depending on which device you choose, and a $35 re-stocking fee. The original packaging for the Incredible 2 is required should you decide to exercise either option. If you have any questions or concerns as to which option is best for you then feel free to reply to this message for additional assistance.
Thank you...

Firefox constantly crashes on my htc droid incredible

i have an HTC Droid Incredible and have been using firefox for a while. all of a sudden, when i try to use firefox on my phone, it opens for a few seconds then the screen turns white then takes me to a page that says FireFox has crashed and allows me to restart or close the program. Regardless of closing or restarting, the it always crashes. I've unistalled and reinstalled FireFox to see if that would fix it but it doesn't. My other internet browser works fine. Does anyone have any advise on how to fix this?

Have you rebooted the phone?
