Droid Incredible and Holiday Daily Deals

Well .... doesn't look like the Incredible is going to make the Holiday Deals List this year . HOPEFULLY, Verizon will run a special on it sometime in the near future . I really would rather have a Droid than the Iphone.

Best Buy has them now for free with upgrade. Thats where i got mine.

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 and Mobile Broadband

I just upgraded to a DROID Incredible and want to tether my device and use Mobile Broadband. The problem is I have a MacBook with OS X 10.5.8.
Is it posiible to tether the Incredible to the MacBook? If so, how do I do it? The software that came with the phone was for Windows. I have AccessMgr on my Mac as I used to tether an LG Env3.
Thanks for the help.

You can as long as you are on android 2.2, go into settings>wireless and networks and enable it, but you do have to pay extra for it.

Droid Incredible and 2.2 os

Will Droid Incredible being sold now upgrade to Android 2.2 free?

Rumor is it'll have Sense UI along with some added Widgets that HTC has made special for the upgrade. I've learned that HTC does have marketing techniques for not just carriers, but individual phones as well. Example: The EVO may have some really cool feature that the Incredible won't have, and the other way around.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see....

Droid Incredible and a Mac laptop

I'm new here so please excuse me if I've done this wrong. I got my Driod almost a month ago and the salesman said I could tether my phone to my laptop. I think I just figured out that the Droid Incredible is not compatible with a Mac. Does anyone know if this is correct? And does any one know if any of the Droid's are compatible with a Mac.
Thanks for your help!
Debbie

I have a Macbook and a DINC and it hooks up just fine. When you plug your USB cable in, the Mac laptop will likely pop up an error. Just hit the ignore button. On the DINC, you will get your normal screen to choose "Charge Only"..etc etc. When you choose to mount the phone, it should pop up two drive icons. One for the phone, one for an SD card if you have one installed.
Then you can drag and drop whatever files you want. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Droid Incredible and the new 2150maH battery

I've been waiting and waiting and they finally got them so I ordered one as soon as I found out. I received it yesterday and went ahead and turned off my phone for a few hours to charge it all the way up. I then finished out my day and put it on the charger overnight while I slept as usual.
Today I have to say, I'm impressed. I'm finally fully happy with my Incredible. I ordered my phone the first day it was available, switching from a Moto Droid and I received it on the 29th or whatever the release date was so I've had it about as long as anyone has. (although some lucky dogs on this forum got theirs a couple days early ) Since then, I've always liked the phone but I've been very, very disappointed with the battery life. It's just atrocious and altogether underpowered for this phone. The included battery is nothing more than a fundamental design flaw. It is obvious to me that they shipped with the stock battery to promote form over function. That's great for those worried about pretty, slim, shiny phones; but for those folks who actually want to use their phones to the fullest extent, it's ridiculous. I am simply not a casual user in any sense of the word. My phone is what keeps my life on track, as sad as that may sound. Everything I do and all of the info I need is synced in one way or another on my phone, and I felt crippled because if I used it for any amount of time do anything that I needed to do, the battery literally wouldn't last the day. How very frustrating.
But that's the end of my rant about the stock battery in the Incredible.
I can now say that I believe that my phone can live up to it's name. I've spent all day using my phone the way I WANT TO! Not in some cut-back fashion that allowed the battery to last until I get home so I can charge it. I can actually leave the wifi on. I can actually allow my GPS to become active when my applications need it. Tasks killers?? Nope. It doesn't matter. It's 4:30 here and I can say with certainty that my battery will last throughout at least the rest of today, and I have abused it as far as usage goes. I know about casual vs. power usage and I'm definitely a power user of my phone.
Sure, it's a little thicker, but again, I'm definitely not a form over function kind of person. I'll take the trade-off. My phone is not a centerpiece for others to gawk at, it's a tool for me to use to do the things I need and want to do. I wish I didn't have to spend extra money for my phone to function the way it should have out of the box, but I was willing to do whatever to get it to perform to my standards.
Possibly the best money I've spent with Verizon so far.

Wow they finally came out with it huh.... geez that looks about the same size.. You should just go order the factory one from VZW, and pay far less, and have it in two days, and the battery life will work just fine for you.
Don't get me wrong, I'd take it.... But you could survive on the 2150 if you wanted..
Any word on extended cases yet?

Returning my (2) Droid Incredibles and going back to AT&T iPhones

I decide to get rid of my iphones because of constant dropped calls on AT&T service in NYC area. However I was only able to tolerate the Incredible for 7 days before switching back to AT&T and my iPhones. Here are the reasons:
1) Call Quality- The call quality on the HTC Incredible was horrible on both my devices. I don't attribute this to Verizon and think it has to be on the HTC end. I spoke with a Verizon Corp store yesterday and they said that HTC is working on a ROM update to fix this issue and there is no current ETA. What happens is on calls the sound gets scratchy and is very difficult to hear and words that come over the line keep dropping. So if someone is speaking you only hear about every other word. It is extremely annoying and I can't believe that HTC and Verizon would release a phone with such a defect. Since there is no ETA for a fix I'm going back to my iphone since the calls are always crystal clear and the service sometimes intermittent. Here is the link to a thread on HTC about the issue.
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/91/p/2162/7485.aspx
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/91/p/2539/9703.aspx
http://androidforums.com/htc-incredible/71835-call-quality-very-sub-par-not-signal-strength.html
2) Ease of Use - The layout on the Incredible is very difficult and not as polished as an iphone. Using an iphone is so easy. The incredible takes a lot of extra buttons to do some simple things. Like using the address book. The iphone has the alphabet Vertically in the contacts so you can quickly hit the last name of a person you need to reach.
3) Cut & Paste in Gmail- There is no cut/ past in gmail client. I primarily bought this device because I'm a heavy gmail user and i thought it would be better integrated in which case it is. You can get all your labels, star items etc. But I can't believe there is no cut/paste function in Gmail client. What a waste. Apple went thru so much when the first 3g phone came outyou think soemone would be listening or remember that.
4) Screen is unusable outside- The phone can't be used outside in any type of clear sunny day. I practically got hit by a car in manhattan because I was trying to pull up a phone number which is extrmely difficult to begin with ( see item # 2) and you can't see anything because of the OLED screen. This is a big difference from the iphone.
5) Media Management( Music, Video) - This is definitely a big downgrade coming from an ipod/ itunes experience. I use my ipod a lot so this experience stinks. Not as easy to use.
6) Battery Life/Multitask - Since the phone does Multitask you have to always be aware of what services are running in the background. If you don't your phone won't last long. Again I feel that isn't polished enough for everyday use and they are going to have to keep designing the multitask to manage battery power effectively. This reminds of the old PC days were you had to keep hitting CTRL+ ALT + DEL to kill services. Why bother, I can't manage a phone like a PC device. This is 2010.
My overall experiece is that I think there is still alot of work that needs to be done on the OS layer and Hardware layer to get this phone to compete with an iphone experiece. Apple does quality very good, i feel that this phone has very bad quality.
How in the world can you design a phone that you can't even see the screen outside in the sun. Just mind boggling.

i use mine in the sun too with no problems. there's a glare if it's at the wrong angle, but no worse than any phone i've had. you can also adjust the screen's brightness, etc.
my call quality is fine, but i have seen a NUMBER of complaints about this...i just haven't had that issue.
as far as my address book goes...i jus start typing the name i want and it narrows down to the the person i want. usually 3 touches to the screen and i'm there. doesn't seem to be too much work. (type a and all a's show up. then m and it narrows to amy and amanda and i jus touch the one i want). i actually love the way it handles it.
battery life/multitask....i downloaded an app killer.....and i just periodically kill the running apps with one touch. i get a full day off of a charge, which is good enough for me. i also ordered 2 spare batteries (ebay for $12...and they came with a wall charger). i switch out the battery in about 10 seconds in the morning, and only have to charge everything sunday night and wed or thurs. i've never had an iphone, but i've seen stories of having to make an appointment to go to the store to buy and have apple change your battery??? that may be exagerated though.
media....if you're an ipod guy then the iphone is prolly better for you. i just don't like the level of control that apple has over everything. i have a zune and my wife has a zen. i find it MUCH easier to manage our music and videos between our devices and the incredible (particularly using an sd card). i've never been a fan of the ipod...but if that's what you have and like, then i'm sure the iphone is much more compatible.
i guess cut and paste is an issue. i just don't use it or have a need so i didn't realize it doesn't do that?
the new iphones are coming soon and i'm sure they are better than the old. hopefully they'll include some pretty basic and convenient features, like expandable memory and the ability to change your own battery (maybe they do?? i don't follow them...but i've heard they should be pretty sweet....and apple usually doesn't disappoint it's following).

I HATE the Droid "Incredible" and I can't wait till my contract ends!

I'VE BEEN WITH VERIZON FOR 9 YEARS AND I'M SO OVER THERE SERVICE! I HAVE HAD THIS PIECE OF CRAP PHONE FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS (20 MONTHS TO BE EXACT) AND IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND ISSUES
FOR STARTERS, (removed to comply with VZW Community ToS)! I HAVE A CHARGER AT HOME, IN THE CAR AND AT WORK. I'VE TRIED TURING OFF THE GPS TO SAVE SOME LIFE BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP. I HARDLY USE THE INTERNET, BUT GOD FORBID I CHECK MY EMAIL BECAUSE THAT WILL MEAN MY FULLY CHARGED BAR IS NOW AT 50%. YES, I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING A NEW BATTERY. I MIGHT AS WELL GET A NEW BATTERY EVERY 3 MONTHS THEN. BELIEVE ME, THE "SUPPORT" TECHS THAT I'VE DEALT WITH DON'T KNOW ANY MORE THAN WHAT I ALREADY KNEW! "RESTART YOUR PHONE." "TAKE THE BATTERY OUT." "MAKE SURE YOU UPGRADE." HOW ABOUT GIVING ME A FREAKING PHONE THAT FREAKING WORKS!! I'VE UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE BEFORE AND IT SEEM TO HAVE MADE IT EVEN WORSE!
DROPPED CALLS ARE MY FAVORITE PASTIME WITH THIS PHONE. YEA, I LIKE HAVING AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION JUST TO HAVE THE CALL DROPPED. I HAVE TO CRAMP MYSELF IN A CORNER JUST TO MAKE A CALL, AND NO I DO NOT LIVE UP IN THE TREES. THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE WITH ME HAVE VERIZON AND CAN MAKE CALLS JUST FINE.
OH, I ALSO LOVE WHEN MY PHONE IS FINALLY CHARGED (AFTER 3 HOURS) AND I UNPLUG IT AND MY PHONE SHUTS OFF. NO BUTTONS PRESSED. IT JUST SHUTS OFF. IT ALSO SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN WHEN I TEXT TOO MUCH AND I JUST LOVE HOW IT FREEZES WHEN I USE THE CAMERA. ALLOWING ME TO HAVE TO TAKE THE BATTERY OUT (AGAIN) JUST SO I CAN GET IT TO WORK PROPERLY.
VERIZON OFFERS NO "SUPPORT". I HAVE TO WAIT TILL MY RIDICULOUS 2 YEAR CONTRACT TO END IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET A NEW PHONE. UNLESS OF COURSE I WANT TO SHELL OUT $500+ FOR A NEW ONE TODAY. I ALREADY PAY A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT EVERY MONTH FOR MY CRAPPY CONTRACT, SO NO. YOU WILL NOT BE NICKEL AND DIMMING ME ANY FURTHER. THERE ARE OTHER PHONE CARRIERS THAT OFFER MY SAME PLAN AND FOR LESS AND WITH THE PHONE I WANT. I REALLY THOUGHT BEING A LOYAL CUSTOMER STILL MEANT SOMETHING THESE DAYS, BUT WHO AM I KIDDING. I'M JUST A DROP IN THE BUCKET TO THEM.

Gjr8103, I agree with you! Having issues with your phone is never a good time and I’m here to help! I want you to have a working phone that you’re happy with and would hate to lose you as a customer. Let’s get to the bottom of this!
From what you mentioned it seems you’re having quite a few issues. Did they start after a recent software update? How long is your battery lasting? Is the phone charging completely? Keep in mind the battery life depends on the usage and Internet access will definitely use up the battery faster.
Let make sure a third party app previously downloaded on the phone isn’t causing the problems. Run the device in safe mode http://bit.ly/p5eed2 and see if you notice a difference. If you see an improvement you will need to delete all third party apps and reinstall them one at a time to determine which one is causing the problem.
If there is no improvement while in Safe Mode the next step would be a hard reset. Since you are having so many issues with the phone a hard reset is highly recommended. This will even help out with the dropped calls your experiencing. I know this can be very inconvenient to do but, it’s a very important step in getting these issues resolved.
If you are still having the same issue after the hard reset http://bit.ly/oOaRQt please send me a DM with your name and mobile so I can access your account and see what options are available to you.

I have a droid incredible and my best friend has an ipod touch. She can send texts to me and I receive them just fine but when I send texts to her, she doesn't receive them. Any suggestions on what might be wrong?

Suggestions appreciated :]

She is using the message free app and I was just using the regular texting option on my phone. I set up an account on text plus free cuz I thought that might help but she still can't receive them. I can send messages to other people with ipod touches just fine. I just started having a problem with her receiving my texts.

Why the inconsistency with the "Droid" name and Android devices.

This seems like poor marketing to me.
Verizon made such a big deal about the name DROID.
The was the DROID and the DROID ERIS, now there is the DROID INCREDIBLE and the DROID X and soon to be the DROID 2.
But why is there the Moto Devour and LG Ally instead of the DROID DEVOUR by Motorola and the DROID ALLY by LG?

I can't help it just say Incredible, or HTC Incredible. I leave out the "droid" nonsense because I always get some cell phone illiterate person saying "you got a droid cool, my entire family just got free ones on an upgrade". You know what I'm saying. It's just annoying to have to explain or show people what I have and what they have or want..
I really wish VZW let Moto only use that term.
Back when the Incredible was a rumor it was cool to think something different was coming out. They announced it as the HTC "Droid" Incredible. Geez.... Whatever....
YEah I get what they are doing but it is leading to a lot of irritation. People talk about the DROID and could be talking about any of them. So yeah I just call them the Droid (moto Droid), Incredible (HTC DROID Incredible), Eris (HTC DROID ERIS), Ally (LG Droid ALLY), Devour (Moto Droid Devour), Droid X (because DROID X just sounds awesome even if Droid is over done). I would like a Samsung personally mostly because I have had nothing but good experiences with Samsung phones and since my Droid was good with phone calls (better after some modding) I have to think that a Samsung Android phone would be Gnarly on VZW. It is odd but it seems to me certain manufacturers are better on GSM and some are better on CDMA. Samsung and LG seem better on CDMA where Motorola and a few others are better with GSM. Or at least that has been my experience with feature phones over the last what 15 years. Or I guess not when ever 3G came out would be GSM/CDMA but also back when I was on Sprint, Bell South, and GTE, Bell South I had great luck with Nokia and Moto - Eventually they became GSM and were swollowed by AT&T a few years ago, Sprint my Moto was good but I always had better signals with Samsung and LG phones, and GTE which shortly after was swollowed by Verizon has always been good with Samsung and LG (LG has been a little more hit or miss they have had a few misses though which is why I am more excited about Samsung than LG) and the MOTOROLA phones I had were the ones where I was counting the days until my upgrade.
The DROID name is about branding. They want to stand out as a big ANDROID player and one way to do that is to snatch up as many Android phones as you can get the manufacturers to make you and the other is to unify their image on your network with Branding. The idea being to get people thinking DROID and kind of downplay the Motorola, HTC, LG, Samsung, etc roles. Really it is something Google should have thought and had it on all the Android phones but Verizon is using it mostly for marketing purposes. It makes for some interesting commercials and has been successful. What gets me though is when people refer to EVO and Mytouch Slide as Droids because they are Android phones. LOL. Doesn't bother me but probably would bother Verizon if it ever made it to a major platform. The marketing is so effective it is about to be like Jello and Aspirin and Coke in the south. Any gelatin desert or generic Aspirin or soda is called by one of these names no matter who makes it. Bayer lost that battle a long time ago but the other two persist.

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?

How can I get music I purchased though Amazon on my Android device(droid incredible) to my IPad 2 without using a computer?

I just got an iPad 2 a couple months ago, and I'm very eager to get my music collection purchased from Amazon to my device. I have had to get a replacement droid incredible and lost my login information for both my email and my amazon account. I have the music files stored on the SD card on my phone. I have the basic iPad 2, 16 GB, wifi, no 3G. I got an iPad to essentially replace my computer since it can't hold a charge anymore. I am almost due for an update with Verizon, so I would like to get an IPhone. However if I can't transfer my 100s of dollars worth of music, I'll have to suck it up and stick with android and be unable to have more than the 3 songs I have on my iPad.
If any one can help It would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds as if you have a computer but it won't hold a charge. Does it not work if it's plugged in at home? If so, you can simply transfer the music to your computer at home. You can either do this by connecting your Incredible to the computer and dragging the music from the SD card to iTunes or, you can contact Amazon and get your password reset and just download the music.

Android 2.2 Reverts to Default email settings when roaming - Droid Incredible

When traveling with my Droid Incredible and want to send an email the phone often will lose my SMTP settings. At the same time it reverts to default settings for send / receive which means it will delete messages from POP server! Is there a roaming setting somewhere on this?

Saving ringtones to use on Droid Incredible?

Does anyone know how to save a ringtone someone sends you to the HTC Droid Incredible and then use it as a ringtone on the phone? The only option I get is "Save as Audio" which puts it in my music library. Can't figure out how to put into "Ringtones".

Never mind. I found that using the "ring droid" app works best. Thanks to all in the forum.

Buying on Ebay a HTC Droid Incredible ADR6300VW Ve...

I already have a Skype account for my home phone. Will I be able to use this droid phone with my current account? I just want the phone for wifi access. Thanks.

The original DROID Incredible and the DROID Incredible 2 are 3G only smartphones. So you can activate them on one of the prepaid smartphone monthly plans.
If it is the 4G LTE model, then it couldn't be activated on a prepaid plan.
