Droid Incredible - Google Maps

Is there a way to clear the search history on Google Maps?

Yes, here are the steps below to show you how.
From your home screen, go to 'Menu' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' > 'Manage applications' > 'Maps' or 'Google Maps', and then choosing to 'Clear data' or 'Factory reset'. If you've updated Maps from Market, you may need to uninstall the update before you can clear data. Hope this helps

Droid Pro- how to delete apps and google maps question

is there anyway I can delete verizon apps off my droid pro?? I mean for example there is the google maps that came on it, a navigation, and VZW navigator that came it. I only use the google maps, and I want the other 2 off and I can't figure it out.
Also, my google maps updated today, and the new feature on it is 3d maps. How the heck do I find the 3d maps?

Carrier-loaded apps are part of the phones everywhere; Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, etc. I've had them on even the feature phones--Backup Assistant, Get It Now, etc. They can not be deleted on any phone on any carrier without [Edited to comply with Terms of Service] which is another topic. You can set up your home screens to your satisfaction by deleting any unwanted icons--press and hold the icon, then drag it to launcher tab which should be highlighted red--it serves as the trash can. This is how it worked on my Droid 1.

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 - 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.
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.

Google Maps Navigation and Google Music problem

Hello,
I love the LG G2 but it has a few concerning issues. First, is the squealling, hissing, cracking, popping, etc. during phone calls, but I have seen that brought up by others.
The second problem that I've discovered, and the most upsetting to me, is that when using the Google Maps Navigation and Google Music All Access at the same time, whenever the navigation voice instructs a direction, the music shuts off. It is then silent until the navigation voice instructs the next direction OR when a new track starts. This was not a problem on my droid bionic, so it must be an LG G2 issue. This is a huge problem to me as I travel a lot for work and usually use GPS to find where I'm going, and I subscribe to Google Music All Access so I listen to music in the car. This problem makes that impossible to do (I have to choose).
A related issue, is that my Alpine CD player displayed track information (Artist, Song, Album) with my Droid Bionic, but with the LG G2 it displays 'UNKNOWN'. I find it hard to believe that a two year old phone has capabilities that a brand new phone wouldn't, so I'm hoping these issues will be fixed with a software patch.
Has anybody else experienced these issues, or does it work fine with your LG G2?

Hawaii is a part of the USA so you will be fine there. Mexico on the other hand, you will be roaming for data there and could see extra charges for international data.

My Eris? Only minor occasionally glitches (force closes or bad apps) and just recently found one tiny dead spot in the LCD screen (no big thing). Biggest thing is I have NOT had to pull my battery in months! I think it was more my fault the last time it happened.
The main reason I think my phone is so problem free is I did a factory reset soon after 2.1 OTA update.
Btw I went from a Motorola W385 to the Droid Eris. Big learning curve, but I enjoyed the trip. LOL

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.

Why does Google Maps work so horribly on the iPhone??

Does anybody else get extremely frustrated with Google maps? 9 times out of 10 it takes at least 30 seconds to fully load the map around my area. Showing traffic just doesn't function sometimes. It will stop loading when my map is still grey...the list of glitches goes on and on.
I had an HTC Droid before my iPhone, and although my iPhone is infinitely better, Google Maps did work flawlessly on my Droid.
I almost think that it doesn't work well because of the clash with Google and Apple softwares but I really don't know.
Is this happening to anybody else?

Bingo -- same finding as BikerBill7.
For some reason, even though I do not set "country" in any of my Address Book entries on Mac, for some reason when I sync the iPhone Contacts inserts the "United States" into all my domestic contacts' addresses. Even when I delete the address, re-enter in Address Book, and resync, it still adds the country. (Does not qualify as "syncing" in my opinion...)
As a result, anytime I use my Contacts to obtain directions the Maps app stalls until I can interrupt and delete the "United States" from the address location bar and route again.

Syncing MS Outlook to my new Droid Incredible 2

I have a new Droid Incredible 2 by HTC. How do I go about sycing my MS Outlook Calendar to my new Droid? Thanks in advance for your help. Robinf

If your Outlook is on exchange server, then Verizon can help you set up a connection to Exchange.
For standalone Outlook, there are a number of 3rd party apps available. It depends on whether you want USB, Wi-Fi or Cloud connections, and whether you want to involve Google in the sync (i.e. Outlook to Google, Google to the phone, or Outlook directly to the phone). CompanionLink is cheap, $14.95 and they provide telephone tech support. I don't recommend MyPhoneExplorer because it installs adware on your computer. Here's a chart.

After most recent update, google maps will not load, i'm using cricket a600 USB on a dell inspiron windows 7?

I can use IE browser and Google maps loads fine. I can use my droid bionic as a hot spot (using Verizon 4GLTE) and Google maps loads fine. I can go to McDonald's and use their WI-FI and it loads fine. But my CRICKET a600 USB is worthless using Firefox 8. I need Google maps for my lively hood. Very frustrating. I don't care to use IE as my main browser..please advise. Thanks, STEVE in OMAHA, NE

well done ipodincalifornia and IlliniVishal!
(so this can sometimes work with a Vaio too? good lord.)
it might also be worth heading to the support pages for your laptop makes and models to check for any chipset updates or other updates relevant to the USB. i've seen some hints lately that some peculiar issues with USB on HPs could be resolved by a chipset update. (although those problems seem to present in different ways than a "Firmware Update Failure".)

Google Maps features no longer work or are extremely slow

After upgrading my 1st gen iPhone to 2.0.x, many things don't work as they should. Either at all or there is an incredible delay before working.
One issue is that after you've created directions in Google maps from point A to point B, if you want to reverse the directions, the reverse (s-shaped) button no longer works.
Also the bookmarks button is very very delayed, as is contacts and the + button to add anything.

Free Droid Incredible phone deals available elsewhere!

I'm ticked! I upgrade our phones from the Blackberry to the Droid Incredible at a cost of $250($500-$250rebates). Today, I get an email from Dell stating that I can get two free Droid Incredibles with an upgrade and two year contract. So, I google Verizon phone offers and find several other sites that make similar offers. Before I go down and raise some cane @ the local Verizon store, can anyone tell me if I'm waisting my time in trying to get my money back? Yes, I know, some sites state that the offer is only available for new subscribers. Why should I be punished for being a loyal 20 year customer?
Thanks

I got this offer from Dell also...reading some of the fine print:
This offer is fulfilled by Simplexity, an authorized dealer for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless. This offer requires activation with selected AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, or Verizon Wireless service plans. Verizon Wireless offers are for new accounts only. Offer subject to eligibility check by AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile or Verizon Wireless, including credit approval or deposit for new customers. Offer applies to primary and second lines only. Discount will be invalid if the rate plan is changed to a lower monthly service rate, or if this equipment is transferred to another line of service. Additional restrictions apply. See terms and conditions for details. Not all U.S. markets are served by AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile or Verizon Wireless. Limited Time Offer. See Offer Details.
Note the bolded lines - Although it states new line of service OR UPGRADE on the ad, the find print says NEW ACCOUNTS ONLY - so I'm not sure what really applies. And as others have said, you can't make changes to your plan or move the phone to another line, along with other fine print not specificed here.
It may very well be terms you can live with - if so, make the deal! Just be aware of all the restrictions and requirements and then decide if it is the deal for you.

Phantom Text keeps reappearing Droid Incredible

I have a Droid Incredible. While deleting texts from an individual, a text came in. I now cannot delete it or read it. It only shows up when I've sent or received a text. Tried turning off phone and clearing notifications. Its been 3 weeks of this, annoying! Any advice?

Hi tlcaggiegirl,
I am sorry to learn that steps provided by previous representative did not resolve this issue for you. You may need to do a more drastic step, factory reset. To do a factory reset please click on the link below for instructions.

150 mb plan for use on droid incredible?

I currently have the 150 MB plan on my device. I do not use much more than half of this each month. I am considering getting an Incredible but don't want to move to the $30 plan. Can I do this ? Or is it required to move to the higher plan?

You may need to disable the background data on the device because the weather, email, voice command, google maps and many other apps will exceed that data preatty fast...

Does iSync work with Droid Incredible

Is the Droid Incredible compatible with iSync?
Which Verizon Wireless phones can be sync'ed up with Address Book?

No. The Android phones were really meant to be synched with "the cloud" and not a personal computer. As such the preferred mechanism is to synchronize your computer with the cloud and your phone with the cloud. For example, you'd setup iCal to sync with Google Calendar, and Addressbook to sync with Google Contacts, etc...
That said, there's a 3rd party package called "MissingSync" that does synchronization of Android phones with OS X desktop applications (including things like Entourage). If you want to skip the could and go with more traditional desktop-phone synching, that's your best bet. MissingSync for Android should work with any Android phone.
