Went from a Droid incredible to a replacement Droid, cant sync contacts!

I got a replacement droid(1st generation ) until my new droid incredible comes in, I can't seem to import my old contacts to the relacement phone and there's no way to retrieve any info from my broken incredible, only face book contacts. I've tried just about everything, emailing my contacts, texting, syncing! I'm not quite sure how to export to my computer sync it to my phone either. Help!

Were your contacts on the old Dinc saved to just the phone or were they synced to your gmail account? Can you use your Dinc enough to export your contacts to the SD card and then you can transfer the resulting VCF file to a computer or the other phone?

Droid incredible - help my "people" disappeared, had 230 contacts in the am, in the pm had only 7

I have a Droid Incredible one week old.
Yesterday morning my people/contacts were all in my phone, in the afternoon I was looking to call someone and could on find 7 contacts! I did not drop my phone, or delete (that I know of) anything other than e-mails.
I have back-up assistant and all my contacts are there on-line (downloaded a cvs file just in case they disappeared too) I ran the Sync and - nothing happens

Could I get you to dial *228 send and option 1 on your device.
Then try syncing the contacts manually.
From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located in the lower-left).
Touch Settings.
Touch Accounts & sync.

Cant sync contact groups from Yahoo

Im trying to sync my yahoo address book to mac address book (Leopard). Contact are syncing fine but it does not show the groups, or "catagories" as yahoo calls them. Is there a way to sync groups from yahoo???
The only reason I need to do this is to get my groups to my iphone, and apparently the only way to do this is from the mac address book.

Turn on iCloud syncing for contacts in settings.

Droid incredible questions: extended battery, issues, battery charging phenomenon, apps

hi. im considering the droid incredible as a possible droid i want to purchase for myself when my contract runs out with my other service provider. ive been researching alot about it and the droid x (another choice) and wanted to ask about some new things that have come up that i would like to know more about.
1) lately ive been noticing more and more about these extended batteries for the droid incredible that take it from the 1300 mah to 2150 or this big one, the 3500. the 2150 is on the verizon website and stuff while the others are from amazon and other websties. first of all is this safe to have on a phone like this? does having a bigger battery and somethign go wrong with teh phone due to it ruin the warranty or something (thats assuming im using the proper extended battery from verizon store)? is getting a extended battery from another company or store a bad idea, and if so why?
and if any more information about the extended batteries that you could share with me would be great also.
2) have there been any great issues about the droid incredible that is outside the normal (glithces, restarts, and so forth) that one should consider?
3) there has been something on the internet about a different way of charging the phone so to get better battery life out of it. i think it goes charging it then unplug the phone then turn off phone then plug back in for 20 mins then finally phone charged. is that really necessary or something? is that a problem for the phone right now?
and lastly
4) does the droid incredible get the same kind of apps all the other phones do or does it get special ones just for it?
thanks for your help

1. We recommend the extended batteries that we offer, as those batteries are quality tested and come with a manufacturers warranty. We do not recommend batteries from third party vendors, because unapproved batteries may damage the device and can void the manufacturer's warranty. If the battery is offered by HTC and a supported product, you can check with the manufacturer to see if it would be covered with the Manufacturer's Warranty. The Extended 2150mAh battery is the battery that we recommend. That battery will not affect the Manufacturer's Warranty. It actually comes with a 1 year manufacturers warranty on it. The 2150mAh battery is basically the same battery, as the standard battery, it just has a lower the battery voltage discharge over a set time interval making it last longer.
2. Issues with the HTC Droid Incredible are pretty much like any Smartphone device, there are problems that come up, but those are usually fixed with updates. Because you are getting a later build of the device, it is unlikely that you would encounter any significant issues with the device.
3. There is no need to charge the battery in any other way than the recommended way. Newer batteries are more resistant to overcharging and will charge quickly.
4. The HTC Droid Incredible would have access to the Android Market Place. It would have access to over 10,000 applications on the Android Market.

Droid Incredible - Replacement Under Manufacturer warranty?

I was curious if anyone has experienced this issue before, and how you went about fixing it.
For a few months now my Incredible's screen wouldn't lock when the power button was pushed. Usually time, autolocking, or eventually it responding locked the screen (or a reset). Occasionally even the lower lights would flash intermittently, on their own, or the screen would wig out and switch to left or right (like you might gesture it to) without touching it.
Beyond these myriad problems, the issue finally peaked yesterday evening. The night before I'd plugged it in to charge, but the screen never locked automatically as per the timeout settings it had always operated on. i.e. leave it alone long enough and it'll shut off and return to a locked screen when you try turning it on again. The entire next day, it never dimmed or shut off, per the settings I just mentioned. I thought nothing of it because, it's happened before. After getting it to restart once, it still refused to shut off or lock the screen - so I left it to die hoping running the battery down would allow a restart.
When I went to plug it in to charge, it only so much as registers in a 'flash' of the HTC Incredible start screen, before shutting off again. It hasn't gone any further since. I thought it might be a faulty charger cable - so I tried my car charger. The same result. Now, the connector for the chargers has been rocky since a few months after I got it - but I've never had a single issue with it not being able to charge. Not until today that is.
So after this novel my question boils down to - did you have these issues? If you did, what did you to do solve it? Just buy a new handset?
This phone is under warranty - it will be a full year come December 2011. I also pay monthly for coverage, but the handset is neither lost or stolen. Just refuses to not behave as if it's possessed. Oh, and the best part? Months ago when I tried finding another phone case? I was told the Droid Incredible is no longer carried/made. Should I expect a comparable replacement, or a full retail charge on my card for replacing the phone?
Fingers crossed the pics and contacts are retrievable.. thanks for your help in advance.

LDubya, after reading your post I said to myself, wow! The issues your dealing with sound very frustrating and I can understand how concerned you are with making sure their resolved. We are as equally concerned with finding a resolution for your issue. Lets start with the lock functionality of your phone. I was not able to locate the issue with your screen lock as a known issue and we currently do not have a fix for it. The issue with your phone not charging, has been reported and has been lifted up to the manufacture for further investigation. With the charging and battery issue, we are waiting on the manufacture to find out if there will be a fix or workaround for resolving this issue. If they notify us of a fix, we can inform our customers.
We can check the software on your phone to ensure the functionalities on your device are working properly. The last software update for the Incredible was September 1, 2011. Here is a link below to review additional information regarding the last update and directions to download it to your device. Although some of the benefits of this update do not directly fix your specific issues, updating your phone can often times resolve other minor issues. I recommend, simply checking the software on your phone and updating if their is one available.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/system_update/htc_incredible.html
Lastly, I want to apologize for not being able to locate the accessory you want for your phone (case). I certainly understand this type of frustration and would like you to know that we request the manufacture to make accessories for all our devices when they are released and as they are being made. Once the manufacture stops producing the phone because we no longer carry it or because they are making a newer version, they also stop producing accessories for that phone. This would not warranty a replacement. However, all the issues you mentioned aside from the case may warranty a Certified LIke New Replacement of the same model, if your phone has no physical or water damager.
You can send me a private message to assist you with trouble-shooting and replacement options or you can call customer service at 1-800-922-0204 from an alternate phone.
I listed the steps to a factory reset as a last option but remember, performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications.
1) From the home screen, select the applications tab (located in the lower-left).
2) Select Settings.
3) Select SD & phone storage.
4)From the Personal data section, select Factory data reset.
5) Select the appropriate option:
-Reset phone
-Resets the phone
-Reset phone & Internal storage
-Resets the phone and the internal storage
6)Select Erase everything.
7)Perform initial activation.

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!

hello Lawrence1559, firefox does save all your bookmarks, settings and customizations into the so called [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|profile folder]] .
<br>you can copy the whole profile folder on your win xp computer like this:
* press the windows-key+R and open: ''%appdata%\''
* a windows explorer windows will open up with a folder named ''Mozilla'' in it - right-click and copy that folder and paste it onto a usb drive or any other way you can transfer it to your new computer.
* on the windows 7 pc, repeat the windows-key+R shortcut and open: ''%appdata%\'' again.
*copy the Mozilla folder from your backup into the %appdata% folder of your new pc.
*you can now download and install firefox from getfirefox.com and should have the exact same setup as on your prior pc afterwards.

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......

Upgrade from Droid to Droid Incredible

Does anyone who has upgraded have issues with the battery life and do you regret upgrading from Motorola Droid to Droid Incredible?

everyone with the incredible has been disappointed with the battery life. i ordered a set on ebay that came with 2 extra batteries and an external charger (for $12 total). i have to change the battery every morning...but at least the phone never has to be plugged in now. there's also an extended battery selling online somewhere. it's slightly thicker than the one that's in the phone so it comes with a new back casing, which is a problem if you use a hard cover/case for the phone. it's only 1 mm thicker though, so it prolly wouldn't prevent the soft/rubber type of cases.
some did go out with bad batteries though. fyi....i get about 24 hours of up time with about 4 of those hours being awake time, before needing to rotate my battery. if you are getting significantly less than that, then i would ask vzn for a new battery.

Switching from Droid Incredible to Droid X

Well I got my Droid Incredible on the 3rd of August. I loved the phone but changed my mind to Droid X. Since I ordered the phone online Verizon told me I would have to pay the $100 mail-in rebate I never paid buying online, honestly I didnt have the $100 dollars right now so she says I can send it back myself through fed ex. She hands me a box and a fed ex bill stamp and tells me to write on the receipt that I want to swap to Droid X within my 30 day warranty and the reasons why I want to swap, heres the problem, I don't see how Verizon is just going to give me a new phone just because I wrote on the receipt, but that is what they told me at the store. The phones still activated, even though I deleted all my personal data. Tell me what you people think about this, Do you think I will get the Droid X sent?

I would call the online ordering department and discuss this with them. That way, they will know it is coming and what your wishes are as opposed to a box just showing up with a phone and a message scrawled on the receipt.

How do you transfer pictures from a droid incredible to a macbook pro?

How do you transfer pictures taken on my droid incredible to my MacBook Pro? When I plug the phone into the computer using the usb port I get a message saying--"The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." Any help would be apppreciated.

Is the phone set to be used as a Mas Storage Device? Check the phone settings. If it is then the SD card should read as a FAT32 device and any computer that can read FAT32 formatted drives. which all computers I know about, will be able to read the files on it.

Verizon wouldnt let me change my order from Droid Incredible to Droid X

I had ordered a Droid Incredible a month ago later finding out that the droid x was coming out. I had cancelled the order about 2 weeks ago and got my refund back. They also told me that i could go ahead and get a droid x now. Well they told me that the day i cancelled it. The customer service rep was wrong. I cant upgrade my phone until my droid incredible order is completely cancelled through the warehouse department. Now i have to wait for my ticket to go through which will take at least 3 days or wait for my incredible phone to get to me in 4 days and have to ship it back to them and wait another week for them to cancel the order. So pretty much Verizon left out the important details of cancelling the phone. I am beyond frustrated and this is the 3rd time that verizon has screwed me over. they may have the best coverage but their customer service is horrible. i havent had a fully functioning phone in a year.

I had the incredible on order also for over a month. I ordered the X online Thursday 8:30 am and everything looked fine. About an hour later I got an automated email that said the Incredible order had to be cancelled prior to the X order being processed. It stated the process had begun but that it could take up to 72 hours.
I was a little upset about that (as how can it take 3 days to cancel on order for something backordered 2 more weeks out) after waiting so long for the Incredible already. I figured I wouldn't get my X on Friday. I responded to the email (for what it was worth) expressing my displeasure in the 72 hours thing.
Called about 8:30 pm to check status. The X order had been processed about 2:30 pm but there was no tracking information. Rep thought that was odd as it should have made the cutoff for overnight. She said it would likely ship out Friday instead.
Friday morning had a tracking email and it did indeed arrive that day.
Now it's about trying to get use to this phone - nothing like my LG flip that was 8 years old! And Droid is A LOT bigger and heavier!

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.
