The app is normally installed with CM10. It enables multi touch that is needed for some games. If you don't know what it is you probably don't have any need for it. I know I don't!

Phew! Thanks for the reply. I thought for a second that I might have gotten some kind of malicious app somehow.

It either upgrades/flashes the 10 point sensitivity capable firmware for the display, or flashes back to standard if already updated.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jimmyco2008:
Hey all,

Last week I decided to give Sprint and the iPhone 5 a go.

I don't recommend either.

So I'm back with Verizon, still have unlimited data (never actually cancelled just in case!), and I'm looking for an upgrade to the Galaxy Nexus, off-contract.

I'd like to get an HTC device, all I really want is Sense, SD Card support (coming from the GalNex, I really miss that), and I mean, decent specs. I obviously don't want to drop $300-400 on a phone that won't support Android 4.3 (yes, I know no one knows the answer to that FOR SURE, but I mean... ).

I also looked at the DNA, but its off-contract prices are STILL through the roof, plus, I like that the Dinc 4G LTE has a smaller screen size, I think the 4.7" on the GalNex was too big for me and not worth the battery woes.

So without further adieu, what do you guys think?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Got mine mint at us160 on eBay, looks like new, decent phone and great price, also about android 4.3, it will be minor update like 4.2 so I guess we will probably get it too with cyanogen
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jimmyco2008:
$160 used though, right? I'm trying to stick to new if prices permit.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
I got mine, new for $250, via XDA marketplace when it still existed. This was back in November last year, if I remember correctly. You should easily get it reasonably cheaper than that off contract. But I dunno where to find new ones of these off contract at those prices. Most online places will probably only have used or kinda used ones. But keep hunting and you should get good prices.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jimmyco2008:
I see a cell phone seller on eBay that has like 50 Dinc LTEs (sold like 15) for around $250, classic "New but we opened them", seems reasonable, I paid $350 for the Galaxy Nexus new not even a year ago (October 2012).
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jimmyco2008:
Does it have that lanyard loop thing like the original Dinc had?

Also, how's the battery life? I had the Thunderbolt and the original Dinc, HTC never gave their phones good batteries, at least up through 2011. I'm not up to date on this...

And can anyone explain the Inductive Charging situation? Does the Dinc LTE have it, does it need a special cover?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
I don't think it has a lanyard loop. I can't find one. I can't compare the battery life of the Dinc4G with any other 4G phone as it is my first but I think it is fair to say that I get very similar battery life as I did with my Dinc2 which was a 3G only phone. All thanks to the Snapdragon 4 which are more frugal with LTE. But then again, I am a pretty light user so don't take my word as final. On a relatively light-moderate usage (music, talk, gps for tracking my running and occasionally gps for navigation) I get a days worth of battery. I leave my phone on 4G most of the time, even if I have wifi and it doesn't kill the battery at all. It hardly uses any in downtime.

Inductive charging needs a special back cover. It adds to the thickness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDZuCyadpZs Never tried it and your mileage may vary.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
yes used, all in perfect shape, the seller had it on a case all the time and was used only 2 weeks so i was very lucky, however i can still find some used incredibles on ebay for the same price, i won mine on a auction
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
I can't believe people actually prefer Sense. I mean, I know people's opinions differ, but pure JellyBean is just so...nice...Out of curiousity, what do you prefer about Sense over stock android?

I want to get the Moto X phone coming out. The specs aren't amazing, but it's got a pretty low price point too:

http://www.popherald.com/news/20130721/motorola/google-x-phone-leaked-white-model.php
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jimmyco2008:
I was thinking about the Moto X, too, but I was thrown astray by the whole "lack of expandable storage" thing. I already have a Pure Google phone, I don't want another.

I've always had a soft spot for Sense. Ignoring the features and the useful widgets (HTC Sync for iTunes music syncing and fullscreen widgets), it just looks better than AOSP IMO... But I mean, with the Galaxy Nexus, AOSP/Vanilla has been my ONLY option, so I guess I'm a little tired of it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
The grass is always greener on the other side. The key advantage of a Nexus phone is timely support, though you can kiss that goodbye on Verizon. Even the Galaxy Nexus suffered horrendous waiting times for updates to roll out. I do like the Sense aesthetic to some extent, but then it does get in the way in other areas. If I were to honestly rate Sense 4.1 to AOSP 4.x and above, I say the vanilla Android has the upper hand. Granted it may seem sparse at places but it is consistent and doesn't have certain annoying features you may find on Sense. I assure you you'll get tired of sense too... :p But more importantly you'll start to get frustrated by lack of support, lack of kernel source leading to buggy CMs. Luckily that is not yet a major issue and we thankfully have a very stable CM 10.1.2 on 3.0.x kernel...

Speaking of Motorola X, who cares of those cutting edge specs? I used to be naive to think more is better and keep running for the best specs. But you know what, I don't care anymore. All these tech blogs care about is bleeding edge tech despite how little a majority of us need it. And they brainwash us into wasting money upgrading phones while the current phone is more than serviceable. I don't find the Moto X to have subpar specs, and for that price off-contract, that is a freaking amazing phone. I just don't know why we can't have decent 4"/4.3" phones anymore. Remember when phones were compact and all? Are these OEMs seriously planning to push the boundaries and make phones as big as the Nexus 7 in a few years? Sheesh. I am trying my best to avoid that road, but I think there aren't any decent 4"/4.3" phones anymore :rolleyes:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jimmyco2008:
Amen. I was content with the Droid Incredible, but then LTE happened, and I got the closest thing to it with LTE, the Thunderbolt. I recall the whole kernel source problem, I wish HTC would just release the source with the RUU (do RUUs still exist?).

Anyway, I looked at the Moto X rumors... It's interesting with the made in USA and customizability, but I don't want a phone that size, I want SD card support, easy sync with iTunes on a Mac (Doubletwist or HTC Sync, but neither support a Nexus or Moto phone with MTP), and support for Beats headphones in-line buttons and mic (I'm assuming...).

I wish it was cheaper than $250 new though, especially since the Moto X is supposed to be around $199 new off-contract (allegedly...hmm that seems fishy though).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fy.the.cloud:
My at&t model GS2 (i777) is not recognizing SD cards, except for the very fishy one with NO brandname on it, but it's only 512mb capacity. All the other cards (1G, 2G and 8G all Kingston) cannot be read at all. I tried connecting with PC, as well as formatting them FAT32, still no luck, the mount options are grey. I tried upgrade from 4.0.x to the newest official 4.1.2 JB and problem remains.

Please if anyone has an idea, I'd be thankful to hear.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Teknodad1974:
Try using this program. I had to use it for my i777 to recognize my 64gb card.

http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fy.the.cloud:
thank you! i formatted the cards again and now the 512mb brandless and the 1g Kingston both work on phone, and it turns out my PC also only reads these two cards with adapter.

I guess card does matter so i'm buying a new one to try my luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Teknodad1974:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipeemyself:
I'm thinking of purchasing an HTC One, but I'm a little bit skeptical because of the durability of the camera lens. There have been many posts about the lens breaking due to temperature issues, and this is hindering me from buying the phone. To those who haven't experienced this issue, is it worth buying for, and are there any ways that could be done to prevent the lens on the HTC One to crack? Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luisit0:
I have used my phone in temperatures so hot it has shut itself off, twice, to the point where touching it hurts, and my camera lens is perfectly intact. I know a friend who uses his One pretty often for gaming and his gets hot too, and his has fallen over 10 times (the back housing looks terrible :crying:) and his camera lens has yet to see a single scratch (even I wonder how...). Point being, the camera lens is tough to break, ever since the One X. Don't ever take the word of the few 2 or 3, when the rest of the 2,000 or 3,000 are enjoying similar or even equal set ups :highfive:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipeemyself:
I think you should check out the XDA thread on the HTC One camera lens shattering.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luisit0:
I did, but it honestly seems as if that guy had it happen by accident.. I mean, even I have by mistake hit the wall or desk with my phone in my pocket and the phone was the one actually recieving the hit, not a ding or scratch and even less a crack.. I also put the phone with the screen facing inside and the back outside when in my pocket.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipeemyself:
alright thanks for the reply. so i shouldn't worry about the camera lens being too fragile right? I don't want to spend $500 on a phone and have to pay for repairs for poor manufacturing on the camera.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luisit0:
Not really, those lenses are actually pretty tough to crack... I really can't imagine more than maybe hitting the corner of a table or a raised pointy object with the lense, maybe a fall with a tpu case since camera lenses are never covered... But outside of a hard/unplanned impact where the lens took all the force, I can't imagine a regular, everyday scenario where the camera lens would actually break by just using it... Heck, look up Poetic Atmosphere case on youtube, that case is HELL to get on and off... I feared cracking my screen and camera lens when taking it off cause I applied a lot of preassure, both glasses are still holding on strong ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranbaruch:
I think that buying an HTC device in general is a gamble. their QC is very bad. I had a desire which was amazing. then I bought a ONE X It's in repairs for a year now and nothing functioning with it. now I have the ONE for about a month now and guess what? I have dust on the inner part of my screen, the top bit of the digitizer is not working and have the known problem of the pink haze while taking pictures in low light.

for me, the camera lens is fine, you need to be careful about other stuff. :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luisit0:
the color hue is normal in low light, stupidly normal if u ask me... dunno why it does it, but i dont like it :( still, it only happens on the most darkest of places with barely any light... dust in ur screen? thats why carriers replace One devices if they come with that screen bump issue or the gap issue is too serious, it's practically mandatory for them to replace the device if it has those manufacturer defects (already been talked about since the phone was released, btw). the digitizer area not working u may already know it's because of the dust. anyway, mine was one of the many One's that didn't have any screen gap or bump, so no dust in mine ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toxicoblivion:
to be brutally honest, buy the damn phone. its a beast, and until you encounter a problem, dont worry about it. Ive had mine naked for 3 months, and no scratches, dings, dents, build issues, nothing. dont let a bad apple ruin the bunch.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luisit0:
+1, I just use a case cause I get distracted easily and sometimes accidents happen... Rarely, but, u never know XD do u use a screen protector? Mine collects more finger prints than the very screen and it's kinda beat up, so I was considering taking it off...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toxicoblivion:
No never have. Screen is Gorilla Glass V2. Why would you need a screen protecter unless your draggin keys, shards, or something rugged against it. I have no scratches on my phone.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luisit0:
Well, only reason I'm using one is cause the One X had GG2 too but it got scratched while in my pocket :/ really have no idea how it happened cause I always keep my pockets clean, plus the One I'm using right now is a warranty replacement, the previous One (sold to me by a friend who didn't know he had 304 days of warranty on the phone) had some scratches on the screen, but it was obviously abused lol it had dings n all, he rlly doesnt take care of his phones... I'm glad he now has an S4 XD

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3chn0s1s:
Just my $0.02 for what it's worth.... I traded an SGS4 locally for my HTC One and I only had it 3 days when I broke the LCD. Mind you, I had an Incipio Feather case on it (which does nothing for shock and more to prevent scratches). Here's the weird part, I dropped it literally 6-10" at most on to a ceramic tile floor. The display did NOT shatter upon impact. I picked it up, examined it... Everything looked fine and then I sat it down on a marble countertop and right there before my very eyes I watched the LCD glass spiderweb as I heard the creaking sounds of the glass cracking. It was the MOST bizarre experience. A) I've never broken a display before and B) I typically take VERY good care of my devices since I usually buy off contract every 6 months or so. I sent it in to an authorized HTC repair center, paid $180 and they fixed my device flawlessly. My One is still in MINT condition. I think as long as you take care of your device you won't have a problem with the camera lense. Taking into consideration that thread you pointed out I'm surprised my cam lense didn't break too. But, it didn't. I was very pleased with HTC's efficiency at repairing my device but was worried they wouldn't reassemble it well. My worries were not justified. Take it for what it's worth to you.

[HTC First] Norrick:
I have the ATT unlocked version of the First. Rooted, S-off, Wifi tethering app, set to profile wlan0, I think i had to enable one of the checkboxes for reloading wifi-driver or it would stay stuck on or off and wouldn't toggle nicely, but for me the problem was I could connect to the wifi, but get no data through.

Turns out the carrier is blocking all the public DNS servers (so if you knew the actual IP address of a website, you could go there but clicking on virtually any link would get you nowhere since they are associated with additional url's and not IP addresses.

Fix was to uncheck the box on my laptop that says automatically retrieve DNS settings and manually set the preferred DNS server to whatever your phone uses (which there are apps on the marketplace that display the information). Make sure when getting your phones DNS info you are using the cellular connection and not the wifi. If you are tethering from mobile device to another, say a tablet then you'll need another app (for said tablet) that lets you change the devices DNS settings (not sure but that might also require root).

I just noticed that the wifi tether app i am using also has DNS settings but I haven't messed with that.

The app I used to get my carriers DNS was CompruebaIP

hopes this help, I found this on some obscure forum post after hours of searching and it solved my problem.

Wifi tether - telephony.db files

Not sure if this will help.

I created two telephony.db files which can be renamed-pasted to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

Should eliminate the wifi tether check. Attached is the zip.

Make sure:

1. Get a backup copy of your current telephony.db

2. You rename the replacement file you use to telephony.db before copying.

3. Phone is rooted.

Also please let me know if this helps

CONCLUSION

hitchhiker is a pig for taking over your wireless therefore probs making the range decrease due to this estimate

and is based on "hey i found a wireless!! choose which 1 u want and ill try to connect to it!"

Wififofum2 just detects networks and notifies u but doesnt take over the original wireless app
