2.3.4 Warning.
Do not update. This 2.3.4 update and the HTC Droid Incredible has a fatal flaw. HTC said they know about it and are working on a fix. ETA unkmown. The update makes your phone stop syncing , no text messages,unable to update because phone thinks storage is full on both phone memory and SD card.
Verizons solution. upgrade phone.
thanks for the heads up. maybe that's why the update's no longer available.
They pushed mine out today before I read this "warning", maybe they fixed it, no problems here.

Droid Incredible - which version of Android and Sense UI?
I'm considering getting this phone and I'd like to know what version of Android and Sense UI it ships with? I read that it was updated to Android 2.2 has been promised 2.3, is that correct? Does it comes with the latest Sense UI and if not will that be offered "over the air" as well? TIA

Can't answer call when screen is locked.
when a call is received and the screen is locked, more often than not i'm not able to swipe the screen to answer the call. i've tried holding the phone in different positions, and swiping down from everywhere on the screen but to no avail. i don't have any third-party apps. anybody else have this problem or have a fix? thanks.
I've never experienced this. Sounds like you need to bring the device back to VZW and have them test it.

Incredible overheats and shuts down using GPS.
My phone overheats and gets in a shutdown reboot loop when using GPS. It did this while plugged into car charger. I concluded it was overcharging. Today I tried using GPS without charger. There was direct sun hitting the screen (I'm in Florida). It soon shut down and got in the Terrible Loop. I've read a lot about this online and there are many different experiences and views. The phone does not do this inside the house with a wall charger.
Does anyone know if Verizon has a definitive answer for this. I've read of other customers with this problem getting replacement phones that do the same thing.
I checked on getting a Garvin navigation system and read they also can overheat and shutdown.
Any info and advice are appreciated.

Deleting Gmail messages from my phone
Does any know how to set it so that when I delete a message from my phone it does not delete it from the actual GMAIL server? I know on my old Iphone there was a setting in mail on the phone but I can not seem to find the same thing on the HTC. I want to be able to delete from my phone but not have delete from the online view. Thank you

Saving pics to SD Card
Can anyone tell me how to save pictures ive taken to the SD Card. I have taken many pictures and they are in the Gallery. All of them show up under 'All photos' under Albums. There are a few under Phone storage and one under 'SD Card', but how it got there I have no idea. When I try to download them to my computer I only see the 1 under SD Card, but have 133 under All photos. With my old phone, the 'Dare', I just chose menu and it gave an option to 'Move' and I could move them back an forth from the phone storage to the SD card just by selecting them. Please help?

Factory Data Reset
Has anyone had a problem with their Incredible doing a complete factory data reset on its own?
Just had a friend that we sold an Incredible to last month call and say that he powered his phone off last night (as he always does) and when he turned it back on this morning everything had been reset to factory specifications.
He has no idea why this happened and is wondering how to prevent it in the future.
I have an Incredible myself but I haven't had this issue (knock on wood)
Any ideas? 😕
just to let you know that people still read these forums...I personally have not experienced anything like it.

Help with HTC sync
I continue to have issues with Sync. I have uninstalled and re-installed a million times. I get a connection error and won't sync. When it does work it duplicates everything on my computer. Any help, it is getting frustrating.
HTC sync sucks. No support at all and it never works. I have to be able to sync with my outlook on my laptop. Hate to say it but I can't wait to go back to the IPhone as syncing with itunes never fails.

Changing text messaging tones
how do i change my text messaging tones? i can only change it to the standard ones, but how do i get new tones added to my list? Thanks!
Try handsent or sms pop up,you can customize your tones with either of those
just make sure when you make the "ringtone" to save it under "notifications" instead of ringtones. hope it helps!

Just picked up the DINC
The deal at Best Buy was too good to pass-up. Coming from a BBS1 this is different for sure.
Haven't figured out what all the aps and widgest are yet. Moved the power control to a home page but don't know what the Sync All is? Should this be on or off to save battery life?
Thanks in advance.

Got my hands on a AMOLED version of the Dinc
Tempted to write a full review once I have it active for a few days, but just messing with it over wifi, here's what I noticed compared to my original droid:
-Colors and video look amazing on it, but web pages look soft.. like they're slightly blurred, but they're not. I'm guessing this is because it's AMOLED. It's not as bad as one the galaxy S phones, but text was sharper on my droid.
-This thing is FAST. Yes, I have my droid clocked at 1.2ghz, but this is still quicker where it counts.
-I really like the polish that Sense brings to the phone. Scenes are a blast. I had originally intended to root this thing on the first day and install CM6.1 on it, but I might hold off for a bit and play with a "stock" phone for awhile

voice quality strange?
Seems like the earpiece sound is sort of flanging or maybe pitch shifting a little. Is this normal? It's worse on the speakerphone?
Voice quality on the earpiece is terrible!! On my third "Like New"(POS) device and they have all had the same issue. Have not have this problem using speaker, wired or bluetooth headset.

Battery life real solution
So what is it. I have read all the posts and everyone seems to be having the same problem. My phone won't even last a day now and I do not use it that much. Anyone know what is being done to address the issue?
I'm not trying to be smart, but get another battery?
If I have my wifi and gps off.. as well as run task killer throughout the day I am doing fine and I get about 100 emails and talk on it about an hour.
I noticed if I leave the wifi on when I leave the house the battery kicks it mid day, but if I t...
