HTC Incredible--need REALLY LOUD notification tone

For when text messages come in. I'm a new Incredible owner, first smartphone, and I'm old, so be nice :-) I've tried out the various tones on the phone over the past week, but I keep not hearing the notification when a text arrives unless I am holding the phone in my hand (so, not when it's in my purse, my coat pocket, on the seat next to me in the car, etc.) I do have the volume slider bar as loud as it will go. Can anyone point me to a tone that's LOUD? I'm guessing something is available in Market? I don't care what the tone is so long as it's not something obnoxious or obscene. Thank you for any help!

there's an app called zedge. i use it for ringtones and text tones. i got the one that the motorolas have. it yells "DROID" at me and is pretty loud (my wife actually hates it it is so much louder than the other tones...lol). download zedge and you can preview MANY tones. when you find one you like you can choose to download it and select it as your tone. keep in mind that these are tones people have shared so there may be multiple files of essentially the same tone. some may make the same sound, but be louder. i also use an app called "missed call" that let's me customize the tones and reminders a bit further than just the phone. so now when i get a text, it says "droid" and vibrates at the same time. it then continues to vibrate every couple of minutes until i feel it in my pocket (i also have i hard time feeling it vibrate OR hearing it when it's in a loose pocket).

Facebook notification tone

Even when I turn down my notifcation tone in the settings my facebook still plays a loud notification tone when I recieve a notification and this is very annoying and want to know how I can get this to stop.

Good afternoon jdismang.
I know how annoying unwanted/ loud notifications can be. Let's see how to change this setting on your SIII. Are you able to turn notification off in the application? From the main screen, select Menu> select Settings > select Sound > select Default Notifications > then change to lower volume or LED Indicator Only. The sound will usually be what you have the standard ringtone set to, which is why it may be best to select LED Indicator Only.
I hope this helps.
Thank you,

Htc incredible & comcast email notification

I just got the HTC incredible. My question is that when I am at work I have the phone on vibrate. After 1 minute the screen goes into the sleep mode. How do I get the phone to alert me (via flashing green light and vibration) when I receive an email. My carrier is comcast. It seems as though I have to unlock the phone every 15 minutes to get the notification. Shouldn't I be alerted even when the phone is in sleep mode? I do get text notifications when the phone is in sleep mode. Just an FYI if the email is sent to the gmail account the notification works in the sleep mode, for some reason it just doesn't work for the comcast account. Thanks

I would call comcast on that one. They will more thna likely have you login to your email via internet explorer. They will have forward mail options, but the only thing is how there's works. They may have a forward all mail option as opposed to store and forward. If they do the first that means you will get your mail through your gmail account only and then it deletes it off their server.
Now you can also setup gmail to download pop3 email directly. Logo on to your gmail account via internet explorer. Click on "Settings" located in the upper right hand corner. Then click on the "Accounts and Import" tab. Goto the "Check mail using POP3:" section and click on "add POP3 email account" You will need the settings from comcast you used to setup on your phone email application. I haven't added it this way because I own my email server so I could do it on mine with no problem how I wanted. How ever, there should be an option to leave the email on the server. Select that, you may have to search for that one.
I have a total of 4 different emails I access on my phone, 3 of the 4 I access through my gmail by having two of them forwarded. Then I have a lotus email from work and I have an app for that.
Hope the above helps you get setup. If you get tuck on a page, post a note here and I will get it.

Here is a link to basic setup instructions for gmail access to pop3 accounts:

There is the option about leaving the email on their server on the above link under "Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server" section. It tells you what to do there.

HTC Incredible: Hearing two tones when placing or answering every call.

I have an HTC Incredible running Android 2.3.4, Build 4.08. Recently, I started getting two loud tones everytime I answer or make a call. When answering, the tones occur as soon as I click Answer and before I say hello. When placing a call, the tones occur right after I click Call and before the phone starts ringing on the other end. What can these tones signify, why would they have started out of the blue? I haven't changed any Settings and I do not receive updates directly from HTC. Frankly, given how prominent they are and they way they just started occurring for no apparent reason, these tones are suspicious to me. Sure would appreciate hearing from someone else who has heard them and might know what's going on.

Thanks for looking into that for us mg4499! I would like to have you try a master reset of your device http://vz.to/19WXLUi. Since Safe Mode did not resolve the trouble, it may be a setting within your phone that has been altered in some way. Performing a master reset will move all settings in your device back to how they were when you first pulled the phone out of the box.
Please let us know how your experience is after performing the master reset!

Trying to find HTC One Notification Tone

Hey Everyone I used to have a Galaxy S2 and there was a default notification tone called OneClick, after updating from Gingerbread to ICS, the Message tone disappeared. Recently I heard it on a HTC and after going into my local Telstra Shop found it is still on all the HTC phones and its called "OneClick". I have tried Mobile Fun, no luck, tried live support, no luck, tried googling it, back in 2010 some guys on Whirlpool were able to locate the tone but no one actually said where to get it from. So what I am asking out there in the big wide world is.....where on earth can I get that Notification Tone from? I want it for my Galaxy S3. I believe it is a Telstra only notification tone as all overseas models dont seem to have that tone. I would appreciate anyone that may be able to direct me to where I can obtain the notification tone called OneClick. Appreciate anyones help on the matter. CheersAgent Michael Scarn

Hi Jeff Thanks for that, unfortunately I have already checked that site and have gone through the tones and no luck. I went through them again though just incase I had missed it before, but no OneClick, as I mentioned before for some reason the overseas models dont have them and it would appear as though the OneClick tone is only on Telstra Handsets. If you are able to pull it off your Samsung or HTC and email it to me I would greatly appreciate it, but if not thats fair enough too. Cheers for you suggestion anyway

HTC Incredible 4g LTE - SIM card needed

Hello - I have an HTC Incredible 4g LTE, I need a SIM card. How do I go about obtaining one?
Thanks

Visit your local Verizon Wireless corporate store or call customer service at 1-800-922-0204 or *611 to request one or you can request online during the "Switch/activate device" process in your MyVerizon account.

My brand new mac book pro, which I've only turned on about 20 times since I purchased it, start making a loud constant clicking noise today -- it sounded like a combination of a computer notification tone and a weird druming sound. What's the problem?

Is this thing a piece of junk? My MacBook Air is running fine. I've literally only charged the MacBook Pro battery a handful of times -- it's brand new.

At these prices don't screw around. Just call applecare to arrange an appointment at the nearest apple store.
Alternatively post in the Macbook Pro forum. This is the Mac Pro forum.

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.

HTC Incredible Reboot Problem - Must All Be In My Mind

Took my malfunctioning HTC Incredible to V-Experience Store for return. It had previously been declared DOA by Verizon Customer Service and identified as part of a bad batch of HTC I's on the market.....
Store Rep tried his hardest to (1) tell me that my malfunction / constant rebooting is all due to the apps I downloaded from the Market (2) the Verizon Customer Service reps don't really know what they are talking about and are too quick to declare a phone DOA (3) there are no bad Incredibles out there - just bad apps and users that don't manage them correctly.
Wow! Never thought that the 5-8 reboots a day which then locks out my touch screen was ultimately my fault. Also didn't realize that the HTC Incredible has no reboot problem that couldn't be solved by resetting it and (based on the Rep's logic), never loading another app on the phone.
A couple of points - Verizon needs to figure out the message regarding the well documented HTC I reboot problem and stay on it. Second - Every time I step into a Verizon Experience store my opinion of Verizon drops.

I hear you man I am on my FOURTH Incredible. The onyl positive is that I have not had a reboot in 3 days which is a record for me.

Ringtone vs Notification Tone Volume

Just got my Incredible a week ago. I've noticed that the volume level of the ringtone is much lower than the volume of the notification tones. I loaded an mp3 as well and assigned it as the ringtone with the same result.
The notification tones are much louder than the ringtones. So much louder that I have to keep the ringer volume down enough that the actual ringtone is very quiet.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi David,
In CUCM, go to Device > Phone > Select Phone > Recording Tone Local Volume / Recording Tone Remote Volume.

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.
Thank you for you contribution to our community forums,

Vibrating mechanism all of a sudden has become really loud and annoying....

As the title states, my Iphone 4 all of a sudden one day started vibrating really loud, even outside of the case. I took my phone to the genius bar but they said that it was within normal working parameters. Problem is, I have another Iphone 4 and no joke, the vibration is 10 times louder. In some cases, I can hear the phone vibrating louder than I can the ring tone. It really is annoying and the vibrating feature is really useful especially when my son is taking naps.
Anyone have similar issues? And if so, how was it resolved?
thanks

If you have a newer iPod that can mulit-task, try turning off the other Apps.
If you have an older iPod, (that cannot multi-task), then try re-starting the iPod.

Update instructions for HTC Incredible to Gingerbread

These are the instructions that I followed to update my HTC Incredible to Gingerbread. They are straight forward and do not require a rooted phone.
Word of caution - this update is not without its problems (as demonstrated by the numerous issues posted here), apply at your own risk. I have had "low memory" issues, hardware information showing I have a 4.3" display, deleted applications (not a lot) and battery life issues. I have not had IM issues since I don't use IM. If I was to do it again, I would backup my phone and do a factory reset after I applied the update (to clear out applications and reinitialize the OS file system).
Hope this helps.

I received the update notification and everything proceeded as described in the PDF until the update reported I didn't have enough space in system memory to complete the process. It left me in the Application Management app. I dumped some data and moved some apps to SD but now I have not way to resume the update.
I performed a soft reset with the battery pull. The PDF does not cover this scenario.
What should I do now?
Thanks to the community. I can understanding the update process has been difficult. The next step I would take would be to do a master reset. Once you reset the phone it will prompt you to install the update. The steps to performa master reset are as follows:
From the home screen, touch Menu
Touch Settings
Touch SD& phone storage
Touch Factory data reset
Tap Reset phone or Reset phone & internal storage
Tap Erase everything
I hope this helps. Thanks.

Getting notification tones but no messages/emails have been received...

My phone will give a notification tone and flash every few seconds but no emails or messages have come through and I'm finding it really frustrating. I've tried re-starting the device but as soon as I receive an email or text it happens again despite the messages being read. Any help much appreciated thanks

Click on your Messages icon then press your menu key and select View Folder. If you go through each folder, you'll probably find the messages that have been triggering those notifications. BlackBerry phones don't usually notify you of messages that aren't there so something has to be triggering it.
Do that and post back with your results.
- If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.
