HTC Incredible :: Possible 2.2 Flaw
Sep 7, 2010
Is anyone else experiencing certain apps defaulting to landscape mode once they are opened even if you're holding the phone in portrait? I have noticed this since updating to 2.2. Especially with Handcent and the Market. At first I thought it might be an issue with the application but then I noticed it also happens when I select something from the notification bar, the bar will default to landscape mode for a second on two before correcting itself.

I can't be the first person to claim this, but I do think I have become infected by some type of virus or malware. I recently downloaded the new flash player for Android, which I'm told has this new security flaw. Today I noticed for the first time while I was browsing the Internet that it appears as though someone has taken over my browser. They were scrolling up and down, left and right, and even tabbing (sounds like they're on an actual machine) through the various hyperlinks on the page. Later, I was in my gmail app, and the same thing. I opened up an HTML email, and it was scrolling, and tabbing through links in the email. I immediately shut down my phone. I have three anti-virus software apps running, and scanned with all - no issues. Does anyone have a recommendation for what I should do - and what I should be worried about? The first thought that came to mind was log back on and uninstall anything related to Flash / Adobe Reader... however if I'm already infected, does it matter? Should I wipe my HTC incredible? What about the storage card? If they're smart, I assume they put something there since they know most have no idea how to wipe that.

I just realized that for the past 30 minutes or so, I had my phone sitting on my comforter while I was tweaking it after installing the leaked Froyo ROM, and it was working!
Before I installed this ROM, my phone would NEVER work while sitting on my comforter without touching a finger to the side (the whole grounding issue).
It sure seems as if this update contained a fix for the grounding issue (like the EVO had a while back IIRC).

I am experiencing 2 major flaws with the HTC phone calendar NOT google calendar and am wondering am I missing something...
1) Again, on the stock phone calendar itself, when I set an event with a start date of lets say today until aug 9th and I select once a week, it shows that event everyday and indefinitely so in other words it doesn't end on Aug 9th. It keeps going and going...
2) Is there not an option to set 2 days every week. I used to have it on my palm pre and it worked flawlessly. For instance, I have classes on mon and wed but I can't find an option to set it for both those days.

I'm asking if anyone else has had the same problem as me. After about a week of having my phone I found the charging socket would only work intermittently. I had to push the cable towards the front to get it to work.
I duly called orange customer services and they arranged a courier to switch it for a brand new one, top job there, I'm not sure how long that warrenty lasts though.
Now the new one, arrived precisely 5 hours and 31 minute ago, I placed it on charge very carefully and waited for the light to go green. I unplgged it and messed around with setting apps and home screen and the like to get it how I want it and plugged it into my laptop to transfer some ringtones accross...

I have noticed a flaw in Android, When connecting to an IMAP server Doesn't matter if it is Exhange or Unix the Android Email client will not close the connection. In order for IMAP to work correctly a client makes a conneciton and gets updates. If a connection to the IMAP server is left opened you will not see any new updates.
Step by step on how it should work.
Example will be Exchange server:
Create a new connection point to your IMAP server (Exchange) port 143 (cleartext) or 993 (Secure) add username: John Doe Add Domain: *Optional with VPN Password: ************** SMTP server (Exchange)
How often to login and check 5 10 15 30 1hr Logout after checking email YES/NO (Ding ding ding grand prize winner option here)
This is a simple fix for Google engineers to fix, they should include it in their next rev.

I noticed something on the Evo, which made me question whether is was a light leakage design flaw, or was it implemented feature.. With the lights off in a dark room, take a look at your Evo. DO you see how the charge port lights up, while the HDMI port doesn't? It seams to be an even glow, as though not a crack in the hardware which lets a little light through, so do my question is, do you think its a design flaw was it intentionally implemented?
I find this very useful, as I plug my evo in in complete darkness very often, and its all gravy that the port lights up when the screen is lit.

So you all know how HTC oddly designed this phone to have it rest on the camera lens. Well my lens is cracked. Not sure when or how it happened. I wont even say it cracking wasn't my fault. Likely was. However I do have insurance and the repair part of it too. I pay 7 dollars a month.
Well took my phone into Sprint and they told me they couldn't repair the lens because it's considered physical damage and if they repaired it it would void the warranty agreement they have with HTC.
So my question is why do I pay an extra 3 dollars a month for repairs when they can't even repair my phone?
They call it physical damage I call it design flaw. They said I would have to file a claim with Asurion and pay 100 deductible to get a replacement phone. Well I dont want a replacement phone. Mine works flawlessly. I dont want to get rid of it. Let alone why would someone in their right mind pay 100 dollars for just a cracked piece of plastic or glass the size of a dime?

I am currently using lockbot pro and I have the option set to ask for a pattern before it will unlock (which has enough glitches as is but anyway...). Now what I noticed on my HTC Incredible is that if you hold the home button it shows you the last things you had running. So when it asks for my security pattern I just hold home and click htc sense. No password needed.

Lot's of talk about the speaker volume/tone on the Droid X.
I too am a bit concerned with the speaker volume and tone on my Droid X.
I did a test. Droid X vs. Garmin Nuvi GPS - Google Nav vs. Garmin built in maps.
I plotted a route across town and fired up both units in my car. I turned on my car radio. I started to drive.
Results:
1. The Garmin was louder and clearer than the Droid X when speaking turn by turn instructions.
2. The Garmin was loud enough while listening to the radio.
3. The Droid X was not loud enough to be heard over the radio(volume set to max).
I don't want to plug my Droid X into the AUX on the radio because I then lose use of the radio.
Is this a hardware issue in the Droid X or something that can be fixed by a software update?

Ive just noticed today that with the phone locked, upon recieving a call the phone switches to being unlocked even after the call is finished. i do look after this phone much more than i have done with other mobiles, but it strikes me that if i do misplace it, the first thing i do is get a mate to ring me to see if its under somthing or at someones house ect. it seems that doing this unlocks the phone for anyone to use or to have a nosey through your personal stuff..is there an autolock after call feature? or an app that does this?

I'm using mini pro. I set up the lock screen. But over the course of days, I notice something strange. When I turn on the screen, my lock pattern is show on the screen for a second before vanishing and letting me enter. This hint, for sharp eyes, can be a tell for my lock. Kinda beat the essence of locking the screen.

Is it possible to password protect the recovery image; where we flash our roms ect...?
I have password protected the device to stop the phone being used while it is on, but it's really pointless when someone can turn the phone off and just reflash the device.
Granted, they could do that anyway even if i had an offical rom without the recovery image, but it would still be a nice feature if it's possible.

I just noticed yesterday accidentally that you can press and hold the search button on the lock screen and perform anything Google Voice Actions is capable of. I am using a Droid 2 unrooted. This may affect the Droid X as well. This is a huge security flaw in Motorola's modified pattern/PIN lock screen. Hopefully this thread garnishes enough attention so that this can be patched soon! Steps to reproduce:
1. Lock your screen
2. Press and hold the search button "magnifying glass"
3. Speak any voice action and the phone will respond. Note: you will not get any visual or audible cues (in Google Voice Actions) that it is working, but it is!

After having solved every of my previous issues to get the code running for retrieving videos from the sdcard and displaying them in the GridView, I still cannot see the videos. I don't know what I have done wrong that they won't show and the array isn't passed on.
This is the java file that tries to retrieve and display the videos from the sdcard in the GridView:

Does anyone know if there is an Icon of the Incredible? I would like to replace the old telephone receiver icon on the dock with an Icon of the Incredible. If not could someone make me one from a picture or explain how to reduce the pic to a sice for the Icon? Currently I downloaded the Windows 7 icon pack from the market and i'm using the default cell phone icon which looks like an old canybar Nokia.

This folder includes screen shots that are used for Internet Browser bookmarks. It also includes screen shots of web pages that I did not choose to bookmark. When I clear cache while in "Internet" in "Manage Applications" it does not remove these jpg files that are not being used for bookmarks. When I clear everything while in Internet app (in settings) it does not remove these jpg files either. It also does not remove them from within the HistoryEraser app. The only way I can remove the jpg files is with Astro or when connected to PC. I have to go through them and erase jpgs that I do not want there.
There were 72 jpg files in that directory and they go all the way back to when I got phone (on 4/29). I have only added 5 bookmarks myself during that time. They do not take up a lot of space but I just don't want them there.

I have my original gmail account "slaved" to my google apps account, so when I log in to user@gmail.com it displays my google apps user@domain.com as being logged in. For most things this is great, but now with the android phone there are some gotchya's First was the Market. I had to create yet another gmail account to buy anything off the market, because when I sign in to my 'gmail' account on my phone it signs me in as an apps user.
Second, is my google voice (attached to gmail) has its own set of contacts associated with my gmail account, and they are not synced with my google apps account. I was hoping the phone would sort of mesh them together, however I'm not seeing that. On my iPhone I was using soocial, however they recently stopped allowing unlimited contacts and their new free limit is below my number of contacts. Is there a way for the phone to keep these to contact lists "connected" and synced together?

I bought an Eris on the 28th, but returned it sunday within the 30 day grace period to wait for the incredible. And its killing me xD.I had to switch back to my winmo 6.1 HTC vx6900, and switching back from android is rough. Truly, it is a day to day struggle that we must cope with one step at a time. Tasks that used to be so simple, like editing a contact or sending a text, are now unwieldy by comparison.Who else here has had to do this? Am I alone in having to deal with this?

I had a rooted Incredible using this method before however I had a problem with the on screen keyboard so I got a replacement. The replacement just came yesterday. Now I am rooting the replacement and the Unrevoked 3 program gets stuck at "Waiting for root... (Safe to restart if this doesn't work)"
I have the HBOOT drivers installed and my phone comes up in device manager as "Android Composite ADB Interface"
Did they apply a new update to the phone that prevents rooting? If so how long before I can get around it?

I have been researching for some time now, but have yet to come up with an actual fix. I have my Incredible paired with my Altima and can make calls via Bluetooth with no problem. My question is, how can I wirelessly stream music or Pandora from my phone to my car (Altima does not have an aux jack). I know my car is capable because I was able to do this with my old Blackberry (exactly how I don't remember, it was an intricate process of pressing random buttons).
