08-01-2010 , 02:17 PM
I probably would if it wasn't in damned beta.

Is anyone else waiting for their HTC Incredible to be shipped? I bought one like 3-4 weeks ago, and I'm still waiting for it to be shipped so that I can have a real phone. Last I heard it was August 3rd? Anyone in this boat with me? Anyone hear anything regarding the shipping date of these phones?

Yeah... I wiped my phone and lost swype. Any way to get it back or any decent alternatives still exist?

For anyone that's rooted, there are a lot of developers that came together to work on a mod, it just was released so it'll improve a lot in the future, but I figured I'd let everyone know if they wanted to play with it.

LithiumMod

Here's the info including a list of devs: LM info

yeah, i've heard that at times, too. if you don't know exactly what you're doing, i'd get a second standard battery from HTC instead.

Oh, you have to change it through the Messaging app, how dumb?

Silicon Gel Skin (sold by Verizon, but I bought it from some third party website)

The hard cases are way too bulky. I've dropped mine with the silicon case several times onto concrete and no issues.

The Skinomi screen protector is seriously the best. It takes some time to put on right, but once you do you won't even know it's there. The standard screen protectors verizon sells are ok for the price, since their cheap enough to replace every few months when it gets scratched, but they only protect the screen, while the Skinomi goes over the whole front of the phone.

The verizon anti-glare one is terrible. Actually makes glare worse ime.
Just installed skinomi on my Eris. Went very smoothly and looks good immediately. This link has a few tips...

TR if anything goes wrong in the next day or so. Otherwise, assume excellence.

Hey guys this is kind of OT but figured it might be best place to ask, I just switched to Verizon having gotten a Droid X for my girlfriend and I, and I am trying to add a third line.

My problem is that I have a Samsung Jitterbug J (Simple, old people phone for vision impaired parent) and it uses the CDMA network, which the Verizon dude told me should work if I brought it in.

Turns out the phone is locked and I cannot find out how to unlock it via google after some searching and dude has no idea. It has no USB or anything, does anyone know how you do this or where I might find info for it? I am a phone newb and don't know crap about ****.

Froyo is now available for the Evo. I'm downloading it now.

Anyone have the ATT Samsung Captivate / Galaxy S? First good phone on ATT besides the iPhone.

weird- just got the incredible today (replaced my droid) and for some reason when I navigate to twoplustwo it doesn't show me the mobile version anymore, it displays the forums like i'm on my desktop. I've used both the default browser and xscope, and they both have user agent set as android.... any ideas?
08-03-2010 , 02:03 PM
Browser settings-->allow mobile view (or something like that).
08-03-2010 , 02:14 PM
Why on earth would you view in mobile? Wtf

Droid X doesn't afraid of anything.

It's an insane phone...massive...looks great...

What's sick is I've had it for 2 weeks and wondered how I lived without one.

2p2 is kinda a bitch to browse, it doesn't re-size well like a lot of other websites. i've always just figured it was 2p2 and not the phone.

Tasker fixes a lot of repeated issues if you set the scripts up correctly

+1.

I just need to start remembering my charger. I'm using the thing so much that my charge only lasts about 6 hours.

Download the Opera Mini browser app - it displays 2+2 in mobile mode by default and is the fastest browser and the best browser IMO.
