Guys I have an Inc2, I was looking into rooting it and found out it will cost around $180-$200 for the hardware to do it. Luckily for me they had a 10 unit beta give out and I was chosen as one, it should be here tmw or the next day and will unlock my phone, or any android phone for that matter completely. my world phone sim card will be unlocked, S-OFF the whole shbagabang. check out this site:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] abqslim:
Yeah what's up with all the bloat????
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tward09:
I solved that problem by downloading LauncherPro (which runs buttery smooth compared to my OG Droid) and hiding them. Out of sight, out of mind, right?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
The only problem is some of it still runs in the background.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
A verizon kiosk rep told me to get it cause it has 4g and will get it automatically like every other phone as soon as 4g is out in my area hahahaha
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
You might want to inform someone that this rep is misinforming customers. This can lead to bad (legal) things. This phone definitely does not have a 4G radio.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
It's running great on the Eris...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Can you link me to that thread because I just checked and all I saw was a sense 2.3 rom.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I think the developers are where the misconceptions come from that Sense 3.0 requires dual core. Android 3.x also has this problem. I doubt it requires multi-core platforms, but might be optimized for them so an artificial requirement would prevent negative experiences outside of those platforms.

I should bust out my Eris and try Sense 3.0 out. When I converted to CM distributions I never turned back to Sense. I will probably be doing the same for the I2 once it's unlocked.

Edit: Couldn't find a Sense 3.0 based firmware for the Eris. I did bust out the Eris, though, and man it feels tiny.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jaysckap:
I'm running sense 3.0 on my tbolt thanks to BAMF.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khanam:
+1, daughter's Inc1 is running sense 3.0 thanks to uber. Neither is dual core

Sent from my thunderbolt
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
My bad. You're right. Playas eff up lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
It's fine, I just thought I may have missed it someplace else. I really only look here for anything rom related.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Me too, and since my Eris died I rarely follow it...I thought tazz had 3.0 for sine reason.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Relay:
Maybe it will be changed to 3.0 on next update..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
Inc1 has a bunch of 2.1 ROMs with 3.0 goodies in them like the lockscreen with widgets, SMS, camera, and most likely many others and are very stable ROMs. also they have a bunch of actual 3.0 ROMs that are getting better each day. hopefully the inc2 will follow suit soon:cool:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tyvallely:
Honestly how hard is it to just ignore those until we get root?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
The bundled bloat actually has a more negative effect than just having unwanted software. I was a big Slacker fanatic until I ran into bloat related issues on my I2 (it bundles Slacker and provides no way for a fresh install from the market). I have actually terminated my subscription to Slacker until I can get a working install, meaning it even affected Slacker's revenue (even if just a tiny amount).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daftlush:
Verizon is replacing (insurance/warranty) Inc1 with Inc2 since Inc1 is endofline. Therefor, I just got a new phone for $90 and get to keep my upgrade for the first dualcore, LTE, conductive charging phone that lasts longer then 3 hours. That's why.

Also, Ive never encountered anyone working in a best buy that knew anything about anything.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rfarrah:
Almost makes me wish my phone would crash. ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zaphnafein:
I had to comment on this one. Being a Best Buy employee this makes me extremely upset. I'm on this forum daily and many others like it keeping up on technology so I dont give out incorrect information like this. Cheers to idiots who somehow get to keep their jobs :/
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] DeviceSettings:
I dont have 4g in my area, and it is going to be awhile. I hear ya completely if I had 4g. I feel this is the best 3g phone out right now. And you can always wait for something better...but with how fast the technology is moving now..you will wait forever.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] t0adman:
I'm in a 4G area and shopped the 4G phones. I simply wasn't willing to sacrifice the battery life for the speed. With the horrendous battery life the phone started to be more of a land line.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dkris2020:
I went from Inc1 to 2 bc i broke my screen and when they went to replace it they didnt have it so they gave me the Inc2 :) It can handle sense 3.0 and 3.5 better that the Inc1 and its confirmed to get ICS update
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
It doesn't need to be dual core. The HTC EVO Design has sense 3.0 and it has the same processor as the droid incredible 2. The HTC Incredible S, Desire S, and Desire HD run Sense 3.0 pretty smoothly as well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lmolloy:
Mines android 2.3.4 and sense 2.1... Not dualcore & not sense 3.0...love it though

im playing with my dinc2!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joefrog1996:
Really? HTC has really been holding back then
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
Nah, its more like Verizon doesn't want our phones to get Sense 3.0. Same with the Inspire 4G, which is basically the Desire HD for AT&T, which is perfectly capable of running Sense 3.0, but the carrier blocks the update.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joefrog1996:
........Verizon has really been holding back then. But I still get amazing service so I can't complain
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
verizon most likely didnt want to either a) pay for the update or b) troubleshoot the inevitable service calls for the average user who freaked out that their phone was suddenly different after an ota from 2.1 to 3.0

we look at it from a different perspective than 90-95% of the average inc2 or tbolt users

if one of my parents (who are new to smartphones) suddenly had a whole new UI on one of their phones they would be at the least flustered and confused...at the worst be demanding a new phone and screaming at verizon to make it the way it was previously

given that vzw probably had some inkling that both phones would be eventually getting ics and a new sense anyway, they probably felt 1 round of freak outs was better than 2

thats just speculation, i have no clue what contract exists between verizon and htc for those 2 phones...usually when a provider contracts for a phone (or series of phones) from an oem they buy a specific number of updates/os upgrades (aside from bug fix ota's if serious problems arise)....beyond that i believe the carrier has to pay for additional os upgrades

thats why i was a tad iffy on ics sense for this device, since the contracts were signed before google force the 18 month upgrade policy on oems/carriers which i would imagine has greatly changed the contracts

just my long-winded .02 :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
I think its more like they're holding back because they want only their newest more expensive phones to have the new software so people will upgrade or buy the new device instead of this one, when it comes right down to it, its all about the money
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
Possibly...although if that were really the case we wouldn't be scheduled to get ics
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zax_Was_Here:
Besides, they still sell the dinc2, i'm sure they still have a large stock they need to move, and making it a budget phone with a lot of power and ICS would be beneficial to them
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
It would only be beneficial if Verizon doesn't leave the phone with a lot of bugs after the ICS update. Otherwise it'll cause people to hesitate on whether they should get this phone or not.

Knowledge is Power
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
The more you know ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
Large stock, doubt it. They been giving them away as replacements, its just like everything to do with technology, always trying to get you to move on to the bigger better thing, even though they've had it for quite a while before its released, they release it at strategic times, like I said, money money money. The ics thing did kinda shock me though
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
I can haz Sense 3.0 2?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
Keep in mind that they did just relaunch the device in red right before Christmas.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zax_Was_Here:
And white before that...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ScallywagginIT:
Other than simply making the announcement that the Incredible 2 will receive ICS, has anyone heard of a timeframe or rumored date from HTC/Verizon for when the update will rollout?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
So far, HTC hasn't made a time frame for any of their phones other than the Sensation and Sensation XE (end of March). Hopefully our phone gets the update soon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] blackepoxy:
Man, hopefully before the end of June...

Or am I just being ridiculous to expect that?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
Well, its not unlikely, but I doubt it because Verizon is probably gonna stall the update anyways. But the Thunderbolt has been announced to get a test update for ICS from next week till April. So we'll have to see.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AcidRain001:
I need a Button that toggles 2 things.

If i press it once it should switch 3G to GSM and switch on Wifi.

If i press it again it should switch GSM to 3G und switch off Wifi.

Each toggle is available as stand-alone switch.

But is it possible to combine the toggles in this way?

I only want to have one button for it on homescreen of my HTC HD2.

Sorry for my bad english. I hope you understand what i meant.
[Galaxy 3 General] merlett:
Hi everyone!

I got my Galaxy 3 about 2 Months ago and I was very curious about it, since it was the first Android Phone I ever got to see.

After a few weeks with Eclair I was VERY disappointed with the poor Battery life. Couldn´t get more than 5-8 hours out of it. 5 hours if played a lot aorund (surfing/messaging/mailing/games) 8 if I barely used it.

I decided to root and soon after that I flashed the Kyrillos 4.0 ROM.

Still, it didnt get much better...

I made the settings as suggested in the Kyrillos thread overclocked the Phone to 1300Mhz. When the screen is off it goes down to 333Mhz.

At least now it runs about 10-12 hours :-)

My Pleasure ended after I installed an IM Client... the Battery died so fast, it had almost no Time to scream ;-)

I tried the following Messengers:

ICQ standard (didn´t even start)

Ebuddy 2.0 (didn´t work too well, had to open it to receive messages and got plenty of double messages)

Trillian

IM+

Ebuddy 2.0.2 (finally seems to work and uses push / right now I stick with it)

The Push feature made it possible to go up to about 11 hours of using time.

Still I am not satisfied... I had high hopes because of the 1500mhA Battery.

Okay it has a quite big screen in comparrison to my old N95 but still...

I thought it had to be the Messenger sucking out the Life of my Batteries, but after today I am not sure.

Today I tried to minimize my usage and turned the phone to GSM only mode, also I did not activate any Messenger.

I wrote exactely 4 Mails, downloaded 1 PDF of about 1,5 MB via WLAN (took 8 Minutes), received 1 SMS and had about 30 Minutes of calls.

The Battery Information says the following:

Remaining Power 20% (Battery Calibratrion 20% 3918mV)

Disconnected from the charger: 12h 44 minutes

Display 68%

Calls 15 %

WLAN 8%

Battery Standby 5%

Phone Standby 3%

Dialing 2%

Of course I had automatic synchonisation for Contacts Mails and Calendar always activated. I cannot live without push Mail anymore :-)

I find it disappointing that even with no 3g and that low usage it doesn´t even live for 24 hours. It isn´t even near the estimated time shown in the many Reviews on the net... over 600hours of standby? I dont think so... even if i wouldnt touch it and turn of everything but the OS. 900 Minutes of talk time? Not in this reality...

How do they even come up with such numbers?

Did I make a mistake? Is the autmoatic sync really using that much Battery?

Is it because of the overclocking? Maybe I should use another Push Service than that of google...

Is there any way to log the amount of connections needed to hold up the push feature? It must be some kind of VPN with the Mailserver, since the Phone is running in an IPv4 NAT Space and has no Unique Adress to be adressed.

It isnt that bad for me to have only a few hours of running time, because I have bought some batteries in reserve. But it bothers me. I think it can be optimized.

If you are reading this: Thank you for your patience ;-)

May the Force be with you.

Merlett
[Galaxy 3 General] LarryMetal:
If you restart your phone when you have 20% on 3.950mV, you will see again 70%. Phone is holding untill 3.550mV. I don't really understand the calculation method but it's really inacurate.

Ok this is my first cooked theme with the UOT kitchen for the O2X.

Everone can do this, but i really like this one so maybe it will save you some time to create a nice one for yourself.

This theme has a bootanimation included, and some window animations + a different font.

I have searched for various different launchers on the market with the Iconia 16gb Wifi only version. I cannot find ADW or Launcher Pro through the standard search, and when I can find them through AppBrain or the web browser of Market, it says that it is not compatible for my device (at least that is what ADW has told me. When I finally got ADW to show in the standard market app on the Iconia and I would hit "Install", I got the "Requested Item Could Not Be Found" garbage. Gave up after a while and haven't tried Launcher Pro.) To those who have installed a launcher successfully, how did you do it, generally? Find the .apk and install manually? Install through market? Or some other hidden process that I don't know about thaat involves giving up your first born to the "Iconian" gods? :confused:
