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.

Software update instructions for Nokia Asha 501

Hey,
software update instructions for Asha 501 can be found from here:
http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/new-nokia-asha-software-update
By default your phone is set to automatically check for updates every 8 days and you will be notified when an update is available for download. If you want, it's possible to force the update check immediately by switching off and back on "Check via mobile data" setting from the “Phone update” menu. The size of the update is around 8 MB, so it's recommended to use Wi-Fi for the download.
Check out also the attached .pdf document and/or this video:

Nokia Asha 501 OTA software update onepager v1.1.pdf ‏361 KB

Dear Nokia Software Employee,
Thank you for the new nokia 501 update.
However I am interested to get another new update concerning:
1) Wireless configuration:
It will include security mode of 802.1x, and EAP plug-in settings such as EAP-LEAP, EAP-PEAP, etcc....
2) Keep applications minimized instead of closed:
Sometimes there are some applications need to be minimized and not to be closed
Ex: Applications such Athan, Prayers, Quran, etccc...
3) Some Applications menu not working with screen touch but working with key buttons
There are some applications that you cannot use the screen touch under the menu
I will be greatful if the software will finalize the above suggestions
Thank you and Best Regards

Extended Battery for HTC Incredible

Any VZW folks have an ETA on the 2150 extended battery coming in stock? I called my local store and they show it and it's priced at $60 for a HTC 2150 with back plate as well. They said the warehouse shows it hasn't come in yet.

This may not be correct but I found this:
http://htcpedia.com/news/htc-droid-incredible-2150-extended-battery.html
"HTC Incredible owners, as many of you know how frustrating it can be when the battery in your phone doesn't last enough to go through the day. We have been anxiously expecting to get some original HTC 2150mAh extended batteries for Droid Incredible around the end of May, however we have just learned that its release date has been pushed back to late July.
For more than few weeks we've had an estimated arrival date for HTC Droid Incredible 2150mAh extended battery around end of May. As of today it has been pushed back to late July 2010. We're not sure what has caused this delay, but this will definitely make some Incredible owners upset.
For those of you who are looking to get the 1500mAh extra capacity battery for HTC Incredible, you'll get a nice boost of power enough to get through the day with an extra 200mAh."

Updated instructions for connecting to Xbox Live

Hi everyone,
Like many others, I can't seem to get my Xbox Live to connect consistently through the Airport Extreme. There is a ton of lag. I have been working on this for about a week and there have been some great posts related to this issue. However, all of the instructions and Youtube videos I have found aren't using the current OS, so I just can't seem to make it work.
Can someone write out the detailed instructions for connecting to Xbox Live using Airport Utility 6.1? Or, if there is a post somewhere, I would appreciate it if someone can point me to it.
Thanks!
Patrick

Hi there,
You might need to forward/open ports on your router first so that your xbox's connection will work very well.
In this link, Click Here, you can see an example on how to forward ports.
But in your case, forward/open ports for your xbox's connection.
Under the Port Range Forwarding page, enter the following:
> Application=xbox1 Start Port=2869   End Port=2869   Protocol=TCP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox2 Start Port=10280   End Port=10284   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox3 Start Port=1900   End Port=1900   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox4 Start Port=10243   End Port=10243   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox5 Start Port=88   End Port=88   Protocol=Both
      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox6 Start Port=3074   End Port=3074   Protocol=Both
      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
Good luck!

Trying to restore iphone 5 as my phone just has 'searching' in top left corner. Phone will not complete restore and keeps having an error code '1669' have followed all the updating instructions for the computer

My phone has stopped receiving a carrier or 3G signal from EE. Have decided to try and restore phone to factory settings, but it wouldn't let me unregister from iCloud - so I then followed advice on this forum which said to restore the phone using iTunes. The phone now keeps getting to a certain point in the restore and then error code '1669' appears. I have tried to restore on many occasions now and still nothing. I have followed all the steps, i.e. updated itunes, computer still no joy - can anybody help. Thanks

The quoted error appears related to Security Software on your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#1669
Follow steps as outlined, If still no joy it could be a hardware malfunction.
Please Fix up an appointment at the Genius Bar.

Haven't received Gingerbread update on HTC Incredible

Is the Gingerbread rollout for HTC Incredible owners complete or still ongoing?
I keep reading about HTC Incredible owners having their update but I haven't had any update notice on my phone.
Anyone have an update on this?

Hello forum members,
I am please to advise that the rollout of Gingerbread has started, again! lol. The rollout began on 10/25. Although I don't know how long it will take to complete, historically software updates takes about 7-14 days to finish wirelessly. Please understand that if there is an unforeseen issue with the rollout then we are available to assist on the forums as well as on Twitter. Congratulations to those who has already received the update successfully! I'm sure that you will enjoy the enhancements to the device that this software update provides!
Thank you...
Update: This response was referring to the HTC Thunderbolt. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you.

Why was Facebook for HTC Sense re-enabled in 4.4.3 update, and why can it no longer be disabled in app manger?

Many of us who disabled Facebook for HTC Sense in 4.4.2 have been unpleasantly surprised to find the 4.4.3 update has re-enabled that app/service, and unlike with 4.4.2 the box to disable it (in app manager -> all) is now greyed out, and unselectable.
Why was this this app forced upon us? (Yes, we can temporarily force stop it, but that doesn't last long as it can re-enable itself - even before the phone is restarted or rebooted).
If Verizon doesn't want upset m8 customers it should put out an update to the 4.4.3 update that allows us to permanently disable Facebook for HTC Sense once again.

I completely agree. I have ZERO interest in using Facebook and that was the first app I disabled when I bought my phone. I am very disappointed to hear that Facebook is being forced back on us with the new 4.4.3 update. I am not comfortable with rooting yet, or I would do that so I could uninstall this and every other piece of Verizon bloatware that I do not want. It is my phone, right?? I distinctly remember using my money to pay for it! I also don't have a lot of confidence that the instructions on rooting are completely up to date to account for any issues or speed bumps, especially for first-timers like myself.
Interesting also how Verizon's release notes don't mention this "helpful feature."

Gingerbread OS for HTC Thunderbolt available date?

Does anyone know when the Gingerbread OS for the HTC Thunderbolt will be available. My son has a Droid X and was able to update his DroidX with the new Gingerbread OS via OTA update.

I'm still patient. So far. Maybe I'll start wondering where the update is at on October 1st.
I'm still patient also, I have been able to put off the MR2 update. Thought they were going to catch up with me when I was in KY last week. I made a mistake and let the firmware download, however, I was able to defer the installation a couple of times and eventually got the reject box which I did. The firmware is no longer in "about phone" so I am still happy with what I got. Will be interesting to see what happens if/when TB gets GB. I may not install it unless AZSALUKI gives me a good excuse to do so.

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!!!!

HT4972 My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as the IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an update file and the apple site doesn't have one!

My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as these IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an IOS 5 software update file and the apple site doesn't seem have one anywhere!

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Gps with vocal instructions don't exist for free (incredible !!!)

Hello,
Due to the impossibility to have a gps application with vocal instructions (for free like google navigation) on my mobil BlackBerry 9380 i inform you that i’ll change my blackberry 9380 on Monday to another brand of phone like nokia or others.
I’ve searched on the net but I haven’t found any solution or application. I’ve phoned on my assistance provider but they haven’t any solution to…
It’s incredible that Rim can’t give a free application with a vocal gps like google navigation!
My bb was ok for all but not for this and vocal sms to.
Hope you find a way one day but for now it’s my first and last black berry. I’ll change my phone for two years to an android and with all what I need this time.
You have a big problem with applications it’s sure, wake up…

If you already have an AppleID that you are trying to use, you do not qualify for the account without a credit card. This is an option to create an AppleID, so it has to be a brand new account.

Why would you allow firefox to update computer web-browsers if you have an idea that it will no longer work after the update? And why would you not include instructions for, how to fix the problem? Help Please! Can I go back to the old one?

Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.
The web site below tells you how:
