Official HTC Droid Incredible Release Thread

Does anyone know how to make notification icon in the top left of the screen after a message is read? After I read a text or email, I still have to go in there to clear out notifications. I downloaded handcent which I like but that doesn't have the option. If I turn off notification, it doesnt make a sound.
Please let me know. Thanks

Are you using some other app for reading your messages? It should automatically go away as you use the program that is notifying you... so if you have replaced Messaging with Handcent, for example... turn off all notifications in Messaging, and turn them on in Handcent.

This is really minor but is there a way you can have the screen go to the home screen after you end a call. Right now, when I end a call is goes back the the number pad with the contact list, just another step added in after ending the call it seems.

You have any idea why they moved it up? Think that's the reason for some of the build quality issues and other stuff?

Well they are releasing 5 Smartphones in May and half of those are Android....could be one of the reasons

I like seeing the clouds go across the screen, or lightning bolts if it is a t-storm... just nice detail.

I see the clouds coming across my screen every once in a while. I also saw lightning bolts and rain with the wipers (when that was the weather). With a bit of investigation, it looks like you have to be looking at the full screen weather widget for it to work. Maybe it works with the clock/weather combo widgets but I'm not sure.

Menu-->Settings-->Call-->Voicemail Settings-->Voicemail Number-->then add a comma after *86 followed by your password and pound (no spaces at all). So, it should look something like *86,6218#

If Voicemail Settings is grayed out (it was for me) then select Voicemail Service right above it and choose "My Carrier" (which will likely be your only choice). After that, follow my steps above.

Great tip! This has been such a huge time saver I've been using on my previous phones but it seems like not many people use it. What does the # sign do because I've never used it?

Is it rounded up or down?

But hm, the Ally (Android) and Fathom (WinMo) are all I can think of, leaving 2/3 more Android handsets.

It does. If you have the HTC clock widget that shows the weather (as I do on my homescreen) it shows weather related animations. Its a very nice touch to the UI. I haven't gotten to see lightning yet, but I've seen clouds misting across the interface, rain pouring down (and wiping off), and sun glares.

Hitting pound (#) just signifies that you're done entering in your passcode. If you call your voicemail, the recording tells you to enter your passcode then press pound.

Gotcha. That just goes to show how long its been since I have entered my pin by hand!

Nevermind, I just saw clouds coming across the screen using the clock widget #3 (half screen with weather). It came up just after I unlocked the screen, but didn't see it in the next 30 seconds before my phone went to sleep.

Why does the screen appear to flash during a call?

Get the app called "Not Call Log"

[poorman2]

Does anyone know if the droid incredible can use the micro SDHC or just the micro SD?

[FAUguy]

That what I use on them and have it set to Home. When the call ends, it goes right back to the homescreen.

I believe it supports up to 16gb sdhc, I have one in mine and it works fine. Not sure if it will handle a 32gb or not.
