Droid Incredible 2 speaker problems

On My Droid Incredible 2 My Speaker still makes a cracking sound problem when I play music and when the phone rings. Does any one have this problem to

Bigmpowerstroke, I can understand that would make it very difficult to use the speakerphone or listen to music on your Incredible 2. I have not seen this as a known issue on the Incredible 2. It sounds like a hardware issue and the device may need to be replaced. I would suggest restarting the phone and adjusting the volume first. If it still seems to have a crackling sound on every song or ringtone, please send me a PM with your name & number so we can look at replacement options.

  • Droid Incredible Music Player problems

    I'm not sure if this has already been resolved here, but my patience has worn very thin trying to fix this darn problem.
    So ever since I upgraded to Froyo months ago, my default music player started listing several of my music artists as "Unknown Artist", and some songs it doesn't even display in the music library, despite acknowledging that the songs are sync'd to the device.
    A few things to note:
    - All my music files are mp3's, and my computer's media player is Windows Media Player.
    - Several of the music files that I have are legitimately purchased songs off of CDs that I ripped into WMP.
    - However, even more several of these music files I have downloaded from Frostwire, but they all are still mp3's.
    - I am not looking to install a different music player on my Incredible. I tried doubleTwist at someone's request before and it did little to nothing in terms of fixing my problem.
    - I do not have any music sync'd on my mini-SD card on my phone.
    - Sometimes when I sync my music onto the phone, the music player insists on displaying the song/album title/album art/artist info incorrectly despite me already editing all of that info in WMP to be absolutely correct.
    - I have tried removing every song off of my Incredible and re-sync'ing it, yet the problem still persists.
    - Before I upgraded to Froyo, the only problem my music playe presented was not displaying album art occasionally. Artist info and everything else displayed just fine.
    - As I mentioned before with some songs not being displayed at all on the phone even though in WMP they still show up in the list of songs sync'd to the device, the only songs that I have noticed so far that this problem is with are every track off of Metallica's "...And Justice For All" (which I purchased and ripped from via CD) and DMX's "Party Up" (downloaded from Frostwire).
    If anyone could give me some help or suggest some solutions to fixing this problem, I would deeply appreciate that. Since I am a very organized person, it irritates me to see my music library in such a mess like this and me not being able to fix it. Also, if speaking about programs like Frostwire is prohibited on these forums then I apologize, but I feel the need to mention that in case that may be part of the problem.

    I just went through this with my TB upgrade.  With regard to album art, WMP sync is simply not copying the jpegs (^Note1).  The good news is that WMP properly organizes your music to enable "syncing" to your device.  Here's what to do:
    1. Mount your phone as a USB mass storage and open the $removable_drive/Music folder (where $Removable_drive is the drive letter assigned to your phone's USB storage).  (^Note 2).
    2. Select/Copy folders under "My Music" directory and Paste into "$Removable_drive/Music/" (^Note 3).
      ^Note 1: The jpegs are stored as hidden system files in a given My Music/$Artist/$Album/ folder but are not getting copied during a WMP sync.
      ^Note 2: Under "$removable_drive/Music/" you'll notice the same folder hierarchy as in your WMP libraries, e.g. "My Music".
      ^Note 3: Since the folder hierarchies are the same, you can just drag/drop the file folders into your $removable_drive/Music folder -- this is the way music is intended to be "sync'd" in Android.  This copies the hidden system files as well.  In my case, I first deleted the folders on my phone, so I didn't have to worry about over-writing files during the paste.

  • Droid Incredible and GoDaddy POP email problems.  Please HELP!!!!!

    My prior phone (LG Touch) used mobile email and I accessed my GoDaddy mail account with no problems.
    I just got the HTC Droid Incredible and was on the phone for hours with tech support with no resolution.
    I am able to receive email but cannot send it.  This almost makes this smartphone worthless to me.
    Here are my settings:
    Incoming POP server:  pop.secureserver.net  (Port 110 with no security)
    Outgoing SMTP Server:  smtpout.secureserver.net (Port 25 or 80)
    Incoming Works.  Outgoing does not.  I can't believe this is a problem considering GoDaddy is the largest hosting
    company in america.  They assure me that the problem is not on their end.
    The only thing I can do at this point is use the GoDaddy app to send and receive email.  This sucks cause there are
    extra steps involved and it's obviously not as nice as the built-in email feature for this phone.
    Has anyone encountered this problem with the outgoing mail using GoDaddy?
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions

    Have you tried K9 for email?  You should!
    You should be ok using port 80, security type: None, and                           try checking require sign-in

  • DROID INCREDIBLE 2 problem

    I just turned on my new droid Incredible 2 and tryed to Activate it and a Verizon data widget came up and it sayed new data widget is available you can't clear it out  what should I do 

    Hi lroweton, 
    I understand your concern regarding the phone giving you the message that you need a PUK code. This is something that is only used with global devices. You listed your device as a Droid Incredible, which is not a global device. In case you have recently switched to a global phone, I can assist you with the code you need. You can log in to your My Verizon account and get the code by following these steps. 
    Sign in to My Verizon.
    Locate the I Want To... section of the home page.
    Select More Actions.
    Select Phone Details in the PROFILE column.
    Select Unlock SIM (PUK) Now. The Default PIN and Personal Unblocking Key display.
    If you receive an error message that you have been locked out, you can try getting it replaced at a store, depending on if the store has any in stock, or you can send me a PM with your name, mobile number, and a contact number. I can then reach out to you and order a SIM card. 
    You can find the closest stores by visiting:
    Store Locator
    The inventory of SIM cards will depend on the store location, but by using this link you can find all of the stores in your area. 
    I hope this information is helpful. Have a good day!

    I have a Droid Incredible 2 phone.  I bought  car charger and ever since I have used it, the phone thinks it is in "car mode" even when the phone is in my home, my purse,...I sets to speaker and I can not hear the phone ring.  It freezes on "car mode".  I heard that Droid is supposed to be fixing the problem, but nothing has happened yet.  Is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone at Verizon know when/if this will be fixed.  If not, I expect a new phone from Verizon.

    there are two ways, usually if u restart the phone it will reset, but the other is going to your system and shut it off manually...

  • Droid Incredible 2 not receiving all call

    I've had my Droid Incredible 2 for almost a year now and starting in August it started to not receive all my calls.  It wouldn't ring but I would get the notification sound that I have a voicemail. I contacted verizon and they sent me a replacement phone, by the end of that week they were sending me another one for the same problem.  I'm now on my fourth replacement phone and am experiencing the same problem. Is there anyone else experiencing this problem?
    I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for almost 4 years and have been extremely happy with their service and support over the years.  But I was disappointed when I asked about the possibility of getting me into another phone, they wanted me to downgrade to a LG Enlighten. After speaking to my local VW store they told me that the LG Enlighten has been a problematic phone and they did not recommend that phone at all.  I am basically out of options at this point and am considering switching to a different carrier and get a phone that will actually work, I am sicking of paying almost $200/month for a phone that wont work like it should.  Anyone please help!!

        Hi there Ckimball28!
    Not receiving calls is definitely a huge problem and I definitely apologize this has been going on for so long!  I truly appreciate all of the troubleshooting you've done so far and the patience you've had through all of this.
    I absolutely don't want to lose you as a valued customer and would love to review your account to see what options we have available!
    I've followed you. If you could please fill this out http://bit.ly/aUgBIy and send me a Direct/Private message once you've completed it!

  • HELP!!! Droid X or Droid Incredible???  I'm aware of shipping date on DINC... but.....

    Okay - so I went to my Verizon store almost 2 wks ago and spoke to the rep we had worked with in the past regarding getting rid of my BB Tour (worst BB ever IMHO!!!) and was told (quietly) to hold out until the new DX was released on 7/15.  When I got home, I checked out the DroidX and was completely enamoured with Droid and totally over Verizon even getting the iphone (gasp - esp now that I've seen how awesome android is and heard about all the problems w/ the iphone4) ~ but I also noticed the HTC Droid Incredible and seemed to like the screen and size.  So again, I went into my Verizon store to see if I could get my hands on both to see what I wanted to do.  I've been waiting VERY patiently w a crappy phone just waiting for something to come along that I'd be happy with.  I was really set to just go ahead and order my DINC but the rep I normally work with wasn't there and the mgr had referred me to another rep.  Very nice guy but really talked up the DX and I was really quite impressed.  The ONLY thing I HATE about the DX is the SIZE!!!  Now, I understand the screen itself is huge, but honestly I didn't fit into my pocket and sometimes I like to put it into my front pocket.  I also didn't like how square it was.  On the positive side thought, it is going to blow the iphone away.  
    So, I guess here's my dilemma (sorry it's taken so long to get here) ~ do I go ahead and order the DINC since the size is more along the lines of what I'd be comfortable with or just say forget about the size and just get the coolest phone on the market (not to mention Motorola makes pretty good sounding phones)???  Essentially, what are the differences between the two phones?  I know DX has the HDMI, while that is a cool feature, I am not concerned about that - the DINC has the cool amoled (sp?) screen, but that seems to be what's holding up the backlog of phones.  I was told that if I ordered the DINC it would take 4-5 wks.  Can someone give me any advice?  I have small hands and the DX feels like I've stepped back into the 80's with the brick cell phone.  I can't seem to find the differences between the two phones and maybe if someone could tell me that, I could make a decision... do I wake up early to wait in line on the 15th or not????  I don't want to get the DX and then not really like it a couple months later (like the BB Tour) ~ ( I am going to also post this in the Droid X forum )
    Thanks!!!

    Thank you all for your help - I read everyone's comments this morning and decided to go to my Verizon store and order the incredible after all.  I made my hubby come with me because he usually gets my sloppy seconds when it comes to electronics (hehe) and he said that even with his big hands he couldn't see himself  using the DroidX, especially since he's not really a techogeek   He had a hard time adjusting to the BB Tour cuz he felt it was too big!!!  It was funny when I was in the store placing my order, the sales rep I had spent over an hour with the other night said he thought I was going to come in to order the DINC and he whispered that it's a decent phone overall (afterall he IS a salesperson right? of course he would try to sell me the best and new phone).  The manager I was speaking to before the sales guy Chris I was working with kinda made me angry because he acted like I was foolish for wanting the DINC... I am hoping that all the people that have already ordered the DINC will cancel to get their hands on the DX and make mine come in quicker
    In regards to going to Amazon or Best Buy (our Best Buy didn't have any either) to order, I've decided that I would hold out since I've been waiting for awhile anyway.  Besides, if something was wrong with the phone or I didn't like it after all, I could go back to my VZ store and pay a restocking fee and get a different phone a lot easier than returning it to amazon. 
    So like the rest of you that are waiting, I've joined your little cult... I'll be waiting patiently...  unfortunately size does matter in this case LOL!!!!

    The fact that the DX has 720 vid & HDMI are very cool features, but not a deciding factor for me.  One thing I couldn't compromise was size unfortunately size does matter in this case LOL!!!! 
    @E-Brock - The Tour I believe is not even being sold anymore, in my heart of hearts I wanted a touch screen phone and at the time BB only had the Storm and we are all well aware of the horrible reviews that phone got.  So a salesguy talked me into the Tour.  I have to say I do like the keyboard on it but really hated the track ball (I had a Pearl before that) - now they have the Curve or Bold with the touchpad type joystick, if I was going to do another BB that's what I would get (actually I'd get the violet curve - I am a chick afterall ) they seem to move very well and easy to navigate, the screens are nicer than the Tour as well.  My Tour I've had to hard reset numerous times and battery pull more than necessary.  I think BB's are nice phones and I've always had great reception, but my tour was very slow for the internet. Hope this helps!! Good luck!!!

  • Droid Incredible 2 won't turn on or charge.

      I have had this problem before, right after I got the DINC2. Yesterday, I wanted to take out my memory card to save pictures on my computer via a usb card reader. I turned my phone off by pressing the power button and selecting power off. I removed my battery, and then removed the memory card. After transferring my pictures, I placed the memory card back in the DINC2, and placed the battery and cover back on the device. I pushed the power button, and NOTHING. The phone won't turn on. I plugged it in to the charger, and the amber light won't even come on. I thought it might be the charger, so I used the USB cord attached to the computer, and still no charging light. I have removed the battery overnight, and just let it set. When I reinstalled the battery this morning, still nothing. The charging light does not come on, and I can't power up the device.
      I had this problem before. I had let the battery run down to nothing and the device powered itself off. Same scenario, the charge light would not come on when plugged into the charger, and I couldn't power up the device. I left the battery out overnight, and the next morning the device still wouldn't power on. I placed the phone in my car, and plugged in my car charger. After a few minutes, the amber light came on, and I was able to power up the device. This, however, did not work this time. Nothing I try helps.
      Is this a common problem? How should I go about getting this resolved?
      Thanks,
      Brian

    Hi Brian,
    It must be frustrating not being able to power your phone on. I checked my resources and this is not noted as a known issue with the Droid Incredible 2. Since you are not able to power on the phone, there is nothing we can troubleshoot by phone. I recommend to bring your device to a Verizon Wireless store for a hands on evaluation. You can find a Verizon Wireless store near you by entering your ZIP code at vzw.com/storelocator online.

  • Faulty touch screen for my Droid Incredible 2

    I have a Droid Incredible 2, but I am having a tough time being positive about it.  The lower edge of my touch screen has become non-responsive and/or finicky at random times.  While on the desktop, I often can't get the "Phone" button to work.  It is like the bottom edge of the touch screen shuts off.  That is quite irritating, but it is not as irritating as it is after I actually get in to my phone.  If I call someone and get an answering machine, I can't hang up.  The "End Call" button doesn't work.  This becomes bearable if I call someone and the person answers.  It is bearable because the phone will let me out of the loop when he or she hangs up.  However, not being able to hang up on an answering machine is quite irritating, especially if it is one that allows for an endless length message.  I've found that powering off is the only way out of that predicament. 
    The touch screen has been a problem while in other programs, too.  It is a pain when playing a game and not being able to do something because the touch screen gives out.  In those situations, forcing the screen to black and re-dragging down to get it often allows me to keep going, but I don't think I should have to deal with that.
    What am I to do?  There is no recalibration for my touch screen.  Is getting a replacement phone an option?  Heck, I am not sure if I am even under warranty. 
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.
    -Brian

    How and when did the screen went blank? Battery level? Using an specific application?

  • Browsers, some apps keep quitting on Droid Incredible. Ideas before I reset phone?

    In the last month or so, my Droid Incredible has developed a really annoying problem. My full-featured web browsers (including Dolphin HD, and the stock "internet") won't run. They quit seconds after launched. 
    Is anyone else seeing this problem? Know what's causing it? I know app conflicts can be very user-specific, but ya never know...
    Opera Mini runs reliably, and Dolphin mini runs sometimes (but quits more often than it runs). So I am able to browse the web. But Opera Mini doesn't support "share page" functionality (via e-mail, bookmarklets, etc.), which is something I rely on heavily and am no longer willing to do without on a phone I'm paying $110/month for.
    In addition, some apps I really like (including AppBrain and Shazam) also are quitting seconds after launch.
    I've uninstalled all apps that I'm not using. I also uninstalled and reinstalled Dolphin HD and Mini, as well as the other apps that have ceased running. I've done the battery pull twice, and have also cleared the cache on most of my apps. I deleted a bunch of media files to free up space. No dice.
    I'm at the point where I'm going to have to start uninstalling the apps that I'm using. I'm very reluctant to do this, since I just had to go through this tedious exercise a couple of months ago to correct a different problem. And if it is an app conflict, then I'm wondering whether backing up the apps to the SD card, resetting the phone, and restoring them would solve the problem. I mean, if I'm restoring the same apps, wouldn't it be likely that I'd have the same conflict problem?
    My phone is not rooted, and I don't want to root it.
    Can anyone suggest something else I might do short of uninstalling all my apps and doing a factory reset to try to fix this problem?
    Thanks.

    I have the same exact problem, I pretty much can't even use my internet function with this phone. it always freezes and quits in the middle of anything. I'm kind of thinking it's a glitch with this phone unfortunately, I have a few friends who also have the same bad droid luck with the internet or any applications running properly. I'm wondering if a few of the phones just need to be re-called with the Droid HTC Incredible model. I'm paying for the internet service and wish I was just back to my simple LG phone with the 39.99 a month bill, that's about the quality of service I'm getting.
    I wish I had better information for you, but I guess you can just re-set and delete all your applications over and over again like Verizon suggests. I'm tired and don't want to even bother at this point.  I want my money back for the internet service I don't get, very bummed indeed...   

  • 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.

  • Droid Incredible 2 Speakers ...

    Has anyone found that using the speaker mode on the phone pretty much makes it easier for you to hear the conversation, but makes it almost impossible for the person on the other end of the conversation to understand you?
    That seems common for me, my Droid Incredible 2, and .
    Perhaps mine is a lemon?
    -Brian

    quite frankly, it sounds bad. do you store everything on the phone's internal memory? you don't have an sd card? i REALLY hope they can help you. however, (and i know this doesn't help you now) in the future, if you go into the camera settings, you can have all of your pics saved to the sd card. also, you can either sync your account with google or backup assistant (you may have your contacts in one of these places already, and didn't even realize it). if you have been using the sd card for all of this, then there is nothing to worry about, as a factory reset will only wipe the phone. it does not wipe the sd card. if you have been using an sd card, take it out now. you can at least salvage whatever is on it.

    any suggestions?

    Once you turn it on you need to click on the option below, WiFi settings and choose an open network. If they are secured, you will need to enter the security key to log in.
