HTC Incredible and future 4G network

Does any one know if the HTC Incredible will be compatible when Verizon's network upgrades to 4G?
Verizon has been installing fiber optic equipment in their cell sites, I think 4G is coming soon.

4G won't be for use on phones for 2 more years at the earliest and it won't be practically viable for 3.  It doesn't look like Verizon is going to worry about any intermediary systems like Wimax as Sprint did or HSPA+ like TMobile did (I think AT&T is still considering an HSPA+ system but as far as I know isn't committed to it yet). We would be on a Wimax system if we did go to an intermediary because it is a sort of expanded CDMA.  I imagine that Verizon being fairly comfortable right now on top and not likely to fall too far in the next 2-3 years is pretty comfortable with having a good stable fast 3G network that covers more area than any one else and is going to spend most of their system upgrade money on pushing LTE out here as quickly as possible while everyone else wastes money on intermediary technologies that so far are proving somewhat lackluster. 
All that being said no the Incredible will not be able to take advantage of LTE or even Wimax should they for some reason decide to go that route.  3G will be supported probably for atleast another 5 to 10 years after that as probably will 2G.  Considering LTE is a considerably different technology I would wager probably more like 5 than 10 but it will depend on how long it will take for people to get rid of their older tech for newer.  I know people with borderline antique cell phones still operating.  One girl I know has a phone that can't send or recieve texts.  I barely remember the last phone I had that couldn't do that or even when that was last an option.  I felt like asking if she realized how often free phones were available. 
So they will keep the system up for a while for late adopters but in all reality by the time you are replacing your incredible you probably still won't have an LTE option.  According to the current official timeline LTE will be available for smartphones first around the end of 2012 and only in major cities.  Late 2013 - Early 2014 for full blanketing.  Expect slightly longer time than that because of equipment shortages, and unexpected pitfalls.  We will all probably have at least one more phone on our new every 2 before whether or not it supports LTE is even a concern. 
OK I take it back your next phone will probably be LTE.  By the end of this year they expect to have LTE rolled out to major cities.  The plan is by the end of this year to have modems running LTE on the network.  By early 2012 they plan to have doubled their coverage and start rolling phones out and they will effectively blanket the country by 2013.  So yeah hopefully your next smartphone will be LTE and we will be living it up.  Probably by then X86 chips will be the norm maybe even AMD will get in on the game and we will have 2Ghz phones or so, possibly even multicore.

  • Problems with HTC Incredible and Jawbone Pirme

    Just bought the Incredible and after syncing with my Jawbone Prime, whenever I turn off the Prime and turn it back on it the volume is reset to the lowest volume.  I reset the volume and when I turn the Prime off and then on it is reset to the lowest volume again.  The other phones I have synced the Prime to have never done this.   Any advice on how to solve the problem?

    Only one suggestion.. Try un-pairing the Prime (I think you will need to delete that profile as well), them re-pair them.
    If that doesn't do it, sorry, I don't know.

  • Broken HTC Incredible and Verizon service update

    Here is what has went on. Sorry for the length.
    My first post:
    Great phone for the 22 hours it worked.
    I got my Incredible May 10th, it died May 11th.
    Then it stopped charging, the battery goes dead. Red charge light on, green battery icon on top of screen has little lightening bolt thru it. Green indicator moves back and forth like its charging. Tried removing and reinstalling battery.  Sometimes it charges until red light turns green, then its dead within an hour, with the phone completely shut off, not sleeping but OFF. All while still plugged in.
    Tried supplied wall charger, Verizon car charger. All the same.
    Tried a new battery they sent me. It acts the same.
    Took it to the local Verizon store, they said its broken too.
    They ordered me a new one on the 17th.
    3 hard resets, 3 sessions with tech suport over as many days. Told I will have a new phone June 9th. 30 days after it broke. Just in time for my 30 evaluation period to end. I can have one extra week they said, my how gracious. I dont have the equippment but the time expires just like if I did. They also made me pay another $212 dollars to order the replacement phone. I it get back 2 weeks after they recieve the broken one in return.
    Back to my totally reliable Blackberry tour.
    I was told by the last tech guy that thats life. Its not Verizons problem its HTC's problem and I am out of luck as far as extending eval time. Or any considerations at all.
    Lets see, its Verizons equippment, but not their problem. I got if from them but its not their problem that its junk.
    I'm unlucky and thats my fault, they see no liability in my bad luck.
    He also said you should never buy a newly released product because they always have problems.
    All 3 also said they have not seen or heard of any problems at all with the Incredible.
    I must be the only unlucky person in the whole world.
    The **bleep** thing worked for a day, one day.
    They also said that if there was a refurb available I would get that as a replacement and not a new one so I am lucky there is not a refurb.
    Are you kidding me, a phone breaks in one day and they would replace with a refurb????
    I work in customer service, I would be fired if I went anywhere near where Verizon is going. "Were sorry for your bad luck" ,"Dont buy newly released equippment", "Its not our problem" , " You only derserve a refurb phone"  that doesnt cut it.
    My phone didnt die, Verizons phone died. Period.
    I could understand it if it died 4 weeks after I got it. I could see their point after that long. But the next day, get real Verizon???
    Frustrated, disappointed, angered, in utter deblief.
    The best network, sure. The best customer service, far from it.
    Their reply:
    I would like to apologize for the malfunctioning equipment and the poor customer service that you were provide. I will definitely forward this to the correct correspondence to be reviewed. Our Certified Like New phones are tested and guaranteed like new as if you received them straight from the manufacturer. Brand new phones, maybe 10% of the entire inventory are tested for functionality, so it is possible for a bad one to slip out every once in a while. Since you have already purchased a new one and have to wait for it in the mail, I can see what we can do to have your 30 day guarantee extended longer than a week. May I have you mobile number and full name? Please allow me some time to review the account and get with the necessary contacts to see what I can make happen from my end.
    Then after 5 days I had to sent a why didnt I hear anything message.
    Then I get this response:
    I do apologize and thank you for your patience. I did have my superiors work with your account, however they have advised because you have already accepted the agreement with customer care, we won't be able to go over their agreement.
    My respone to them:
    I didn't accept their agreement! Oh my god!!
    They didn't give me what I asked for or help solve my issues.
    All I was told is what they couldn't do. As well as wouldn't do.
    As well as everything I put in my post.
    If you're talking about the month to evaluate the new phone.
    They didn't give me a choice. What was I supposed to say "naa I don't want an extra week"?
    I asked forcefully for my full period, without being irate.
    I was told there was no way anyone was going to do that for me.
    How in god's name can you say my evaluation period is up when your equipment failed in 22 hours and you could not supply new equipment to evaluate?
    How can Verizon take that stance in good faith????
    I know now Verizon does not care about one account.
    At least mine, on any level.
    I will change my stance if you could tell me one thing.
    How is any of this my fault?
    Why am I being penalized?
    Am I wrong here people???

    i am only posting this to present another side (of the htc di....NOT verizon....lol). they should give people 30 days from when they get the replacement....not the broken one they got initially. anyway, most of the people that come to forums do so to resolve issues, problems, etc. look at all of the threads. they are people with problems, complaints, or questions. they sold 100,000 incredibles in the first few days it was available. and yes, a handful of them have issues. i'd be willing to bet that 7 months ago the forum was filled with brand new bunk moto droids, and that a couple years ago there were at&t forums that were filled with bad iphones recieved. i'm not excusing it. i'm just saying it's brand new and there will be bugs with brand new devices....and some that are just flat out broke. but it seems that 99,000+ of them are just fine. i've been with verizon for ten years and have had no problems. even got some early upgrades. it's a shame that their service appears to have gone downhill, but it's no better with the other carriers. i've just seen a handful of people here that desire to change carriers....and that's fine. but i also suspect they will come across the same bad service once in a while no matter who you go with. this forum is similar to anything else....when you have a bad experience at a restaurant you want to call the manager....nobody calls the manager or visits the forum to tell you how great their service was that day.

  • Outgoing POP email on HTC Incredible

    I am getting a "server not responding" error when trying to set up outgoing mail server on my POP.
    I have verified the settings with my ISP provider, but still getting the error.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Anything unique about the HTC Incredible and using POP email with Verizon?
    Please help!
    Thanks.

    jgs....that's what vzn initially told me too. they said that cox did not allow sending through their network except from the device that you actually set up with them (usually your home pc) for spam prevention reasons. i actually went so far as to set up a dummy hotmail account, just to use the uotgoing server settings. so i had cox incoming and the hotmail outgoing (but i named the account on my phone with my cox email so it appeared it was coming from my cox email). that worked except that the email app changes the username and password on the outgoing to match the incoming every time you close it (it assumes you are using the same account). so i could send this way, but had to manually put in my outgong hotmail info each time. then i found the correct cox outgoing (or at least, it's worked so far). unless cox is set up differently in different regions, you should be able to do it.

  • HTC Incredible reboot fix that works and does NOT require hard reset

    Like many of you unfortunate souls out there I have had my HTC Incredible go into a rebooting loop over the last month or so. The following recounts some observations and and a solution which appears to work.
    First off, my son and I both have the same phone and software versions and apps. He does NOT get email on his phone because he does not want to. I do. His phone has NEVER rebooted. Mine has done so numerous times. My business partner also has the identical phone and software version, lives within 200 yards of me,  and uses the email and has had numerous reboots and has gotten them even sooner than I saw them at first. My partner and I have set up email attachments and downloads to go to the SD card. So much for background info. Here is what I did to fix the problem followed by some other observations:
    Open up the case of the phone and remove the battery
    Remove the SD card from the phone.
    Put it into an adapter that allows you to access files directly on your computer. In my case this was a Windows PC running Windows 7.
    Mount the SD card in your computer and open up the browser to see the files on the SD card.
    Look for a folder called ".Mail"
    If your phone is like mine you will see hundreds of files, some of zero length. This was even though I had deleted most of the emails I received on my phone.
    Proceed to directly delete any of the zero length files. For that matter, you may have other files like jpg's laying around of uncertain origin. I got rid of these and other strange files that seemed attached to no documents at all.
    Remove the SD card and reinsert into your phone. Put the battery back in and the cover on then restart the phone. Your phone should run properly and you should not see any negative consequences from the files you deleted previously.
    Some other observations relevant to this solution that bolsters my theory that this problem has something to do with the email application and also a problem with file system corruption on the SD card as a consequence of it.
    I had previously seen the email application put some mail from a different account I was using into my main account. The files could not be deleted and even trying to do so would cause the mail app to force close.
    My son has never seen the problem despite being in the same environment with the same phone and software. Relevant difference to me was that he was NOT using email and I was.
    The email app clearly has bugs if it is leaving behind hundreds of files even if you delete the emails. Why? As a software engineer my first instinct would be to look to see if the file system locks were properly synchronized when the email app is writing to the flash file system. I am not conversant in Android OS programming nor the app code itself so this is speculative on my part. I would also look for a timeout on reboots if file system enumerations take too long. Lots of files on a system might trigger a premature timeout and reboot. Once again, this is speculative on my part but I sure wish I had the code to debug this myself.
    These issues seem to coincide with a rapid rise in network traffic most likely because of the iPad 2/iPhone support by Verizon. I wonder if this additional traffic load on the network is opening up timing holes in the software because of backoff and retry intervals for certain apps. Once again I suspect the email app especially because it is vulnerable to network traffic issues as it tries to get email account updates.
    I could be wrong about my theory as to why the problem is happening. My solution seems to work. As far as pulling the battery and putting it near your AC in the car, that did NOT work for me at all. Leaving the phone out of its protective case also had no effect. Only screwing with the files on the SD card mattered.
    I hope this helps. 

    This problem has been seen for MONTHS now by people besides myself. My business partner is about to put a bullet in his phone because this has been happening for far longer than mine. I have little confidence in a fix anytime soon because this problem has been persistent for some time and there is a lot of denial in the field by Verizon. Verizon has to depend on HTC and Google besides themselves for fixes. How much would you like to wager on how this business relationship is working out? The first step in any solution is for a company to take some responsibility for it and so far no company has.

  • HTC Incredible Network issues?

    I have only had issues with my HTC Incredible here and there. The issue is that sometimes I will not receive text messages or phone calls. There's one specific person I am having problems with and they have Sprint. They say that they called me and texted me and I have received nothing. This isn't the first time it has happened.  The day this happened, my phone sounded the notification sound of a message 3x but nothing was there. So I rebooted and it did it again but again, nothing.  Anyone out there know what could be the problem or help me fix it? It is really important that I stay connected to this person. Thanks!! 

    Thanks for the information Ann154. Your correct, the issue is more than likely with the other persons carrier. Additionally , it could also be a routing issue with your account if you have recently changed mobile numbers or ported your number in to Verizon Wireless from a different carrier. 
    I would have the other person check with their carrier first then if the issue continues, you can contact us to perform further trouble shooting. 

  • Can you use a non-Verizon USA Prepaid SIM card in a HTC Incredible 2?

    I've investigated this forum,and others on the web and there is some confusion to the right answer to my question. I also got different answers from Verizon support. So here's my particular situation.
    I renewed my Verizon plan that included a new Motorola RAZR Max HD several months ago to replace my HTC Incredible 2 .I have successfully used my new Motorola phone with overseas SIM cards.
    After having the HTC unlocked, I was able to successfully use the HTC phone overseas with various foreign SIM cards. I had initially tested the phone with a USA T-Mobile SIM card with no problems.
    This week I decided to give my mother the phone (mainly for pictures, etc.) and use a prepaid H2O SIM calling card. The HTC phone shows the right H2O information such as SIM & IMEI number but the telephone number is not the H2O Sim one but my old telephone number that I'm using on the Motorola.  I tried a factory reset but didn't help.
    1.  Can I use non-Verizon USA SIM cards in the HTC phone?  If yes, how do I do it?
    2.  If  not, why did the T-mobile one worked?
    3.  If I find a way to change the phone number to my new SIM card's telephone number, will that work?
    4.  I read about "rooting" a phone, will this work?
    5.  Some told me that it was illegal  for Verizon to monopolize the phone. Is this true?
    Thanks for the help!! Tilly Saint

        I understand it's important to obtain the correct information tillysaint, and I'm happy to help you. The device is designed to work on our network. If the software was altered to work on the network you mentioned, some service and features are not available. In addition, the network you're trying to use may not be compatible with H20. The phone is a 3G phone which means if the network you want to use is on GSM, this will not work.

  • I've given up on the HTC Incredible

    I thought maybe FROYO would make things better, but it didn't.  The HTC Incredible was a super everything-else-but-a-phone smart phone.  I just couldn't hear some folk who I talked to on the phone; they were usually on another cellphone. Sometimes words got dropped, or the sound quality as too shrill.  All landline calls, and bluetooth earpiece managed calls, were excellent (although reception inside buildings was not terrific).  But since most folks I know used cellphones, I couldn't take it anymore and had to give up.  I used one of the other upgrade plans in my family plan to get a Samsung Fascinate.  Its only has 2.1 but, as a phone, it is great.  I have no regrets dumping the Incredible other than the money that I wasted.  I even had to have the original Incredible I purchased replaced because of memory issues. 
    My RIM Blackberry Curve was probably the best phone I've ever owned, except that the internet experience was just awful. But as a  phone, nothing was as good...even the Samsung.

    I feel the same about my former Blackberry Bold and 8800. Blackberry knows/knew how to build a good solid handset.

  • 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).

  • Bridge CS5 doesn't recognize my HTC Incredible 2 smartphone.

    When I configure my HTC Incredible 2 smartphone to connect to my Windows 7 OS as another drive and plug it into a USB port, it recognizes the drive as a camera or card reader but produces the error message: "Failed to obtain thumbnails from the device. The device is not connected or is busy." The Get Photos button is also grayed out. When my smartphone is first connected to the PC it gives me an option to install drivers and asks to insert disk, but I do not recall getting a driver disk with the phone and, when I visit the HTC web site, I have no idea what download might address this particular issue. The bottom line is that without Bridge's recognitioon, its features are unavailable and I can only copy and paste when I want to download photos. Would appreciate suggestions.

    Thanks for your suggestions. Changing the JPG file association to Photoshop
    and using Adobe Photo Downloader, which Bridge does, made no difference.
    Still get the same error message about failing to load the thumbnails which
    terminates the download process as far as Bridge is concerned. I also talked
    to someone at HTC and it appears to be a third party driver issue; i.e.
    There is no driver addressing the issue I raised. I can manipulate the phone
    s photo gallery like any other disk, so rather than customizing in the
    download process, it will just take another step or two for Bridge to do its
    magic after download. Thanks again.

  • Transfer Footprints from HTC Eris to HTC Incredible 2

    I switched from HTC Eris to HTC Incredible 2.  I want to transfer my Footprints thumbnails and data to HTC Incredible 2.  On the HTC Eris there is a folder on the SD card called .footprint that contains the footnotes.db file and folders for thumbnails and voices. The thumbnails for the footprints I have created are in the proper folder.
    On the HTC Incredible 2, the footprints folder is on the SDcard as a subfolder of the .data folder.  That folder has a footprints.db file and footprints.db-shm and a footprints.db-shm files in it.  It also has  "thumbnails" and "voices" folderswhere the pictures and dictated audio that are created with the app reside. 
    I have copied the HTC Eris .footnote folder over to the HTC Incredible 2 SDcard.  The footprints application has a menu item to import pictures and data.  The pictures have to be imported individually.  While the pictures import and retain the address and GPS information, they display the current date and time, not the date and time when the footprint was orginally created.  When you try to import a database, it says no database found.
    I tried copying all of the Eris thumbnails into the Incredible 2's thumbnails folder and replacing the footprints.db on the Incredible 2 with the one from the Eris but the app would not display the existing footprint pictures and the app would no longer save and display footprints created even though the pictures taken were in the correct folder.  I restored the Incredible 2's  footprints.db  and solved that problem. 
    If anyone has ideas, I would be interested to know.  My guess is the Footnotes app on the Eris is a different version so the data is not transferable.

    If I had to guess I would say that the issue is because of the different versions of Sense, I have noticed that some of the old files stored from a HTC Sense application doesnt always work on the updated version..

  • R.I.P Desktop Charging Cradle for the HTC Incredible

    Verizon, Is this true???
    http://htcpedia.com/news/htc-incredible-desktop-charging-cradle.html
    People want a desktop charging cradle for their phones. Why can one not be produced? A lot of us purchased the phones under the assumption that a dock was being produced. Are you going to allow Incredible owners to exchange their device for Droid X's? You can't get any manufacture to produce a dock that can charge? I really don't think people care THAT much if the home screen doesn't auto rotate. If the clock application is launched it works fine in landscape or you mean a dock that works in portrait isn't possible?????

    no doubt!!!! check this one for another device:
    http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?divid=HTC&cat=Cradles&skuno=80604
    how difficult would it really be for them to just place the micro usb plug slightly lower to fit the inc? i love this cradle if the could duplicate it to fit the inc. it can't be that tough to do. and with minor tweaks you could lay it on it's side for landscape. it would be perfect....postrait AND landscape AND it has a slot underneath for an extra battery. the manufaturer would have a gold mine because they'd be the ONLY ones with anything to sell us!!!!

  • HTC Incredible - Won't stop rebooting

    My HTC Incredible has been cycling on and off, continuously, for the past 3 hours. I brought it into the store last week and they said the only way to fix it was a hard reset, and that this happens often when you download applications. I didn't want to lose all my photos (haven't figured out how to sync the phone with my Mac), so didn't do the hard reset there.
    Now I can't even make a phone call to get support.
    A few questions:
    1. Are there other solutions people have found to get the phone to stop rebooting? I've been taking the battery out but that doesn't seem to help.
    2. Is this the case with all PC phones -- where like PCs, they get viruses all the time -- so should I bite the bullet and buy an iPhone before my contract is up?
    Thanks so much for any help you can give!!

    Hi amynyc,
    I completely understand your frustration.  I  agree with the store rep and would suggest a Master Reset:
    Touch Settings 
    Touch SD & phone storage
    Touch Factory data reset
    Tap Reset phone or Reset phone & internal storage
    Tap Erase everything
    However, as long as your pictures are stored to your SD card vs. the internal memory of the device, they will not be erased after completing a Master Reset.  Additionally, if you would like to store you pictures to your PC, you will need a Card Reader. I am hopeful this information will resolve your issue.  Please advise if require further assistance.

  • CANNOT SEE EMAILS WITH EMBEDDED LINKS ON MY HTC INCREDIBLE

    I recently linked my Outlook account through a POP3 on my HTC Incredible.  For some reason I'm not able to view messages with embedded links in the body of the email or the senders signature.  For example - If someone sends me an email and they have a FB icon embeded in their signature, I'm unable to view the email.  I can see who it's coming from but cannot see the text in the body of the email.  Does anyone have any work throughs for this issue?  Thanks!

  • HTC Incredible stuck, Wont boot

    I just got my phone literally 5 hours ago, I just got everything set up, contacts added, Etc, I go to plug it into my computer to put some music onto the phone and the phone just shuts off, I go to turn it on and it stays at the "HTC Incredible" screen, And just sits there, So I removed the battery, Soon as I put the battery back in, It jumps right back to that screen and sits there, I cant power down, no nothing, so i tried removing the battery, And putting it back in and hitting Power + Volume down, Tried every option there is.. Nothing, Just goes right back to the "HTC Incred." screen.. Unfortunately, Verizon was closed before I could get there, anyone know a fix, Or am I stuck taking it to the store tomorrow?
    When I run the Simlock, It says 255: not key-card!!!

    Here are a few options to try. First make sure your phone is disconnected from the computer.
     Try to perform a battery pull when you see the "HTC Incredible" screen. If after powering up your device and you still get the "HTC Incredible" screen then try to perform a hard reset.
    *Performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications.
    Follow these steps to perform a hard reset:
    Press and hold down the Power Key
    Touch Power OFF
    Touch OK
    Press and hold the Volume down key then press the Power / End key.
    When the HBOOT screen appears, release the keys.
    Press the Volume key to select CLEAR STRORAGE then press the Power / End key.
    If prompted with Do you want to start update?, press the Volume down key to choose No. When prompted, Do you want to reboot device? press the Volume down key to select No.
    This boot process takes several moments, reference the progress bar located in the upper-right. If the device hangs or freezes, remove / replace the battery.
    Press the Volume up key to select Yes.
    Please let me know if this helps!
