Official HTC Droid Incredible Release Thread

[Steveanderson13]

Got my phone today and so far so good. It's great! I don't understand how to close windows on programs I'm not using, though. Is that what app killers are for? Can anyone recommend a good one?

A previous poster is correct; there is almost zero need for this.

perfect. thanks!

Gotcha, yeah my gmail says imap and my hotmail says Pop and they check every 15mins. I don't really know how to go about setting them up through Activesync but checking every 15mins is ok with me since i don't use this phone for any business purposes. So i guess the way i have it now will work, lol

I followed these instructions

Regarding SMS/MMS - any way for the portrait view to show a T9 keyboard instead of the QWERTY? I find it faster to compose that way.

There is zero need to do this with Android. Let it manage your tasts, its much more efficient than you are.

Yes, this is a holdover from the Windows mentality. Though I read an article by an Android developer who said they are useful to kill a bad app which probably is a rare circumstance. I assume one way to determine if an app is bad is by using the PeakMem app.

I prefer to kill my apps so I know none of them are killing my battery. Ive heard theres no need but Im not sure I believe it.

Home page, menu, settings, language & keyboard, touch input, keyboard types

I believe that's what you're looking for.

How do I sign into Google Talk?
It just shows the "Signing in..." with the loading circle. There is no progress.

I saw another thread about this but Im going to keep it in here, this thing has some whacked out signal bars eh? Mine is always showing one bar in areas the Droid would be full bars. One of these two phones is messing with me. I dont think Ive seen full bars on the Incredible yet. What gives? Looks like HTC needs an update already.

[g_money42]

from what I've read, the bars may seem different but the signal is still as strong, if not stronger.

I think all I need is a better Mail app for my gmail and my phone is set. Love everything else about it.

[GlydeGuy]

I setup gmail to go through the HTC mail app as an exchange server. Details found here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile...36&topic=14299

I'm trying to figure out a way to unify all my different email accounts in the HTC widget. Anyone know?

[g_money42]

yeah, I did that but I just don't like the look and feel of it. Wanting something much more similar to the actual HTC gmail program but as a widget.

Theres an app you can get from the app market called Missed Call. It will do this for you. It was a little tricky to set up when I first got in on my Droid but once you figure out you need to setup the reminder service it works perfectly. On the Droid you could make the LED different colors but I guess the Incredible LED only does green? Cant get mine to do different colors. But I have just like youre talking about, I get a reminder every two minutes about missed calls or text.

nicee, thanks soo much! also what does it mean autostart when u open the app? also i didn't see one for voicemail, where is that?

Where do I copy my MP3 music to?

I have installed the 2GB MicroSD card and with a USB cable attached I see folders. Which folder do I put my music in on the SD card?
