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!!!

Screen Capture for Droid Incredible 2

I have been trying to figure out how to do the screen capture on my Droid Incredible 2. I accidently did it last night but I'm not sure what I pressed. Does anyone have any idea how to do it?

I didn't think the Dinc2 has a built in screenshot option. Some application might have included the function for their application. I know Weatherbug application has that feature.
The only other way to get screenshots that I am aware of is to install the ADB program on your computer and connect the phone to the computer create screenshot.

Incoming AOL emails on droid incredible

Beginning one week ago, I have been unable to receive any incoming aol emails to my droid incredible.
I can send emails with no problem, but no incoming emails appear. Sometimes I get a "login failed" or a "network error" message, sometimes I do not. My husband has the same phone and also uses aol on his phone. He has not encountered this problem, he can still receive aol emails to his phone. I have deleted the account from my phone and reinstall it several times. My account settings are the same as the settings that my husband uses on his phone.
I have had the phone since early October and this is the first time that I have had any type of problem. Email has been working great up to this point.
I also have a gmail account set-up on my phone and I have no problems with gmail.
Any ideas? Thanks!

The best thing to do will be to go into the account menu and delete the account to make sure we set it up with the correct server information. The steps to delete the account are listed below:
Menu
My Accounts
Menu
Remove Account
Choose the AOL Account
Once you have done this we can re-add the account with the manual setup. The steps to do this are below:
Locate and Select the Mail icon from your Applications Menu. You will see a place to enter your Username and Password.
After entering your full email and password, select Manual Setup. You should now be on the Incoming Server page.
Locate the drop down box at the top that typically displays "POP3" by default. Touch and change the selection to IMAP.
In the Incoming Server box, change the entry so that it displays "imap.aol.com". Nothing else should need editing; Select Next.
You are not on the Outgoing server page. Change the Outgoing server box so that the entry displays "smtp.aol.com". Nothing else should need editing; Select Next.
Assuming everything went through with success, you will now be prompted to choose display/account names for the email. If you are planning on setting up multiple emails, then label so that you can differentiate this one from the others.
Once you have done this it will begin to receive emails with 15 minutes.

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

Any Help or Response from Verizon or HTC Regarding Problematic Update For OG Droid Incredible??

Dear Verizon,
Are you or HTC doing anything to resolve the problematic update that has effected most customers using the Original HTC Droid Incredible that was recently updated to 4.08.605.15? These problems include continual rebooting, freezing, and the necessity of repeated battery pulls in order to resume normal functioning. There have been a number of threads on the various problems, the following is just one of them.
https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/775916
Can someone please respond to show us that that you are at least aware of the problem? And please no recommendations on factory resets as this has not solved a majority of the problems. Thank you.

pre86 - this was the response i just recieved:
Luckily, HTC has sent out a technical bulletin regarding this particular
issue. They're aware that the update will cause their devices to reboot quite a
few times, and they've said that it was actually something they had planned.
They've informed us that you'll experience this issue with the reboot for one
day but no more than two days maximum. I'm sorry because I know that it's not
what you were wanting to hear, but HTC is guarantying that you shouldn't have
this issue two days after the system update. No need to worry, it's not a phone
issue and your devices don't need to be replaced.
We'll see if this holds true......

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.

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.

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?

Connecting my Droid Incredible to my laptop

I am trying to get my Droid Incredible to connect to my laptop so I can pull the pictures off of the phone and SD card but I cant get my laptop to recognize my phone is connected. I tried downloading the VCast Media Manager but that doesnt help. My phone shows up on the left side of the screen for a second then disappears. If I go into file manager within windows it doesnt show my phone is connected either even though the screen on my phone says its connected via the USB symbol and mounted as a disk drive. Can someone please help me figure this out?

Thank you to demmo86rt and budone for your contributions. I have provided additional instructions from page 44-47 of your owner’s manual on how to connect your phone to you laptop computer. I have also provided a link below that will take you directly to your online manual.

Uploading Video from Droid Incredible to Computer ??

I've had the Droid Incredible for a little over a month now (my first smartphone).     I have tried several different things but nothing seems to work.
Can someone please explain to me (step by step) how to upload videos from my phone to my computer?    Thanks!!

@EmsMom,
Step 1: Connect your phone using the usb cable to your computer.
Step 2: On the phone, select Menu--> Notifications
Step 3: Click on Charge Only option in the notifications. This will bring up the Connect to PC screen.
Step 4: Select Disk Drive and click done.
Step 5: On your computer, you will now have one or two new drives apprear (similar to when you would plug in an external usb stick). You will see only one drive if you dont have a microSD card inserted, otherwise it will be two drives.
Step 6: You will find all your videos in either of the drives (depending on where you store your videos. By default the Camcorder app is configured to store it on the Phone Storage) Either ways, look under both drives at the following path:
            driveletter:\dcim\100media.... (your videos and photos get stored here if you use the default camera and camcorder app)
Step 7: Simply copy the files and place them wherever you want them on your PC! That's it! You can then decide if you still want to keep them on the phone or delete them.
Hope this helps!

Droid Incredible Photo Albums

How do you create photo albums on the droid incredible? I have found no way to do this on the phone and every pic I take goes into camera shots and all photos folders.
I would like to be able to organize my photos in different albums but cannot figure out how to do it.
Any help would be appreciated.

HI. I see you basically want to create different folders for you photos to store pictures. dabubbakin is correct. One way to do it is to hook your phone to your computer to create the folders. Another way would be do download an application in the application market that will allow you to create folders. One of those applications is Astro File Manager.
Please let me know if this worked for you.
Thanks!
