Roll your eyes at my mobile signature too bud.

It was a bit of sarcasm lol.

And to the post saying something about six days, be prepared to wait another twenty days... took both of my shipments 28 days to arrive. Don't panic either, the seller is good!

Or you could be really pro and use thin wire to hook up the second battery to the phone terminals while the first battery is still in and then very carefully lift out the original battery and slide in the second behind it.

Although actually pulling this off would be quite the feat, and accidentally shorting the terminals of an ion battery cannot be a good thing.:rolleyes:

Does anyone know if all mini usb car chargers are the same voltage? Can i use any mini usb cig charger i have?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] suzook:
yes.............
[Droid Incredible Accessories] 760hacker:
Thanks man! Thats what I have always thought but I just wanted to be sure nothing had changed.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Zabii:
Um... The incredible has a micro-usb port. You can't shove a mini in there.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] larsdennert:
And the answer is yes and NO. The charge voltage is always the same but different phones use different methods to get signaled for charging. For instance the iphone uses 2.7V across pins 2,3 to signal and 5V across 1,4 as I recall.

You won't do damage using the wrong one though. It just won't work and you'll scratch your head.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Zabii:
His question still asked if he could use a mini usb charger for this phone, and no, he cant. The incred uses a micro-usb port, where a mini will just not fit.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] czm2000:
Umm, no he asked "Does anyone know if all mini usb car chargers are the same voltage? Can i use any mini usb cig charger i have?" and larsdennert's answer was a direct answer to that exact question.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] invisiblek:
so this thing is a micro usb like the blackberry? gonna buy a big pack of usb cables for it and I don't wanna buy the wrong ones.

the cable you should buy would then be USB A to micro B. Monoprice is sold out- I ended up buying from Amazon, but the shipping was a bit ridiculous
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mc_88:
I just ended up getting a charger from wal-mart that was labeled for a Motorola, but it works fine since it is a micro USB
[Droid Incredible Accessories] two_cents:
I have alot of motorola mini usb chargers... I bought a micro usb adapter for 6 bucks from radio shack... it charges and works as far as I can tell... only thing I notice is that the motorola is 5v-550mA not 5v-1A ... I dontk know if this will have any long term effect on the batteries... I think it just makes it charge slower
[Droid Incredible Accessories] gentleart:
I don't know the difference between micro and mini, but I hope I can use the car charger I recently purchased for my Touch Pro for my new D.I.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] tracerprix:
I tried using the BB brand car charger and I got a message on my Dinc that I this manufacture was not compatible with the Dinc. WTF?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mt2020:
I've had no problems using any car charger that allows either changing tips (igo) or has a USB port so you plug the correct cable in. I even have an Apple car charger that works as long as I use the correct USB cable.

But now a slightly different question....

I notice the Incredible WALL charger says 5v at 1A, and my WALL chargers for Apple are 5v .5 A, so I assume the Apple charger works for Incredible, only slower charge, but is it same to use the Incredible Charger for the Incredible? I hate traveling with a zillion chargers.
[HD2 General] whiteblazer01:
I have the TP2 on Verizon, and I would like the HD2. My biggest concern is dropping and poor cell reception. I'm in Orange County, CA, but I do travel around the U.S. occassionally. Please be honest and let me know how people who are on T-Mobile U.S. service what you think. Do you drop calls a lot? Poor connections? Dead zones?

I've had Verizon for 9 years, so I've been spoiled with great cell service. I RARELY get dropped calls and dead zone (I'm being honest). So I'm wondering what people think about T-Mobile.
[HD2 General] domineus:
you won't be disappointed

I haven't dropped a call in chicago though i wish data was like philly lol
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
I've never had a dropped call... but the 3g signal sucks. It doesn't get 3g signals in buildings or houses. I really regret leaving at&t, which had great 3g signals. Also, looking at the t-mobile signal map, it looks like there's a lot of places in the US that don't get t-mobile.

I would suggest, if you can afford it, get the Telstra 9193 HD2 imported from australia and use At&t. You'll get much better service, at least 3g service.
[HD2 General] jdep1:
3g & signal are great for me better than my friend with an iphone at&t i had tmobile since it was voicestream & the service has always been good but i say it all depends on your area givie it a try if you are not satisfy you could always go back as soon as you dont pass the 30days
[HD2 General] heygrl:
Not for the HD2. Reception on this phone blows chunks. It makes a low signal a no signal. It switches over to EDGE at the drop of a hat. Anyone that switched to T-Mobile for the HD2 can't make a good evaluation based on that device, it truly blows. T-Mobile has an good soon-to-be HSPA+ Network in Orange County but I would avoid the HD2 at all costs.
[HD2 General] lquigley:
Service

I live in Idaho. I have Att, it is ok, but don't get 3g. But I'm ok with edge. I have tried Tmobile,It was great in the town 14 miles from my home. But lost signal all the time. I would say from what other people say, is it's ok in big cities, but not rural. I would pay the extra, & get telstra, on Att. Actually, I did similar thing, just put my sim in from 10.00 data plan. I don't use much data so I'm not going to pay higher plan,, My bud in Pa has telstra,on att, loves it, no tmobile probs.
[HD2 General] stim141:
Former AT&T user for about 10 years - really depends on the area. I just got a T-Mobile HD2 and while the phone is phenominal compared to the current AT&T offerings (build quality, screen, etc.) the network in St Louis is VERY spotty. As others have said the 3g is very weak - as soon as you move say into a parking garage (3g worked with AT&T) it will immediately switch to Edge. Also there seems to be a ton of dead spots even in urban areas. The 3G speeds here at most get in to the 800 range where AT&T was well over 1200 BUT the latentcy and browsing speeds on AT&T seem slower. iPhones in this area suck up tons of bandwidth.

Traveling from say St Louis across to Atlanta on major interstates - AT&T is pretty much on Edge EXCEPT in really major cities like Nashville but other than that its Edge all the way to Atlanta. Used a AT&T Tilt and 8525 for this run. DON'T believe the coverage maps - as soon as I left St Louis it was Edge through Kentucky unless I passed a very populated city and the speeds were mediocre at best.

Until a radio ROM update is released that hopefully fixes the reception problem the phone will have issues. Call quality is just "ok" with some popping, hissing etc.

I think you'll be ok if you use it in MAJOR urban areas but if you go off route or go to some of the smaller cities/towns coverage will be pretty poor.

I only paid about 75 dollars for the phone with a two year commitment so I can't really complain - the only really bad decision on Tmobile part was to spec the phone differently than the European HD2 - finding cases, screen protectors that fit the phone at the moment is pretty difficult.
[HD2 General] digitallysick:
Nope you are better off with the htc incredible and stay on verzion
[HD2 General] heygrl:
I don't see exactly what you're getting at. It's the HD2, not the network.. the signal might be weak but the HD2 totally drops the signal. Swap out your HD2 for a Motorola CLIQ or CLIQ XT and you'll see what I'm talking about. I'm not saying it won't ever switch over to EDGE again because the network still has some EDGE-only towers sprinkled in (said to be rectified in 2010+Fiber to the sites) but it will greatly reduce the occurrence.
[HD2 General] picassoianctions:
8 years with verizon, 5 lines in south florida

Switched one line specificly for HD2 to tmobile. SUx 3g signal

Most of the tiem ti shows 3g or H but the connection is weak, i get mostly 300-500 range, once ina while it may spike to 800.

Cant even compare to Verizon, i had Droid.

Thinking to go wimax for Sprint. Same phone but better data output.
[HD2 General] BillTheCat:
I've been with them all - Verizon, Tmobile, AT&T - even dating back to 'Cellular One'. I also used to travel far more in the US than I do now and I've never been disappointed with what is now AT&T's network or service area. Tmobile had been spotty for me.

If you're looking into an HD2, I'd recommend buying a T9193 and going with AT&T. It'll cost you more for the hardware but you won't be forced into a $30+/month data plan for two years because you can go with their 'MEdia Net' unlimited plan for $20/month instead, saving $10 per month over the data plan that iPhone users are forced into. IOW, the $240 it'll save you over two years will help reduce your private purchase of the phone to about $500 or less, if you shop hard and wait for a deal.
[HD2 General] kameleongt:
it would really depend on your own location i've had verizon< noproblems though many years ago. then moved over to nextel< its nextel:x then moved over to at&t (found this site) at&t I would always have drop spots, not random alsways a consistant few locations other than that it was fine. I recently switched to t-mo for the hd2 on no contract as i plan on moving over to sprint once the evo comes out. so far the best service has come from verizon though at the time I only had a flip phone. I would go back but haven't liked any of the phones and that was the only reason i left. I would stick with verizon and try out the incredible. I haven't encountered any issues being in the OC myself with t-mo service but its only been about a month and I haven't traveled out of OC.
[HD2 General] heygrl:
LOL.. I really hope you do pick up a WiMAX phone. If you think you're disappointed now just wait. Also the connection has nothing to do with it, if you're getting slow speeds that's because the backend of the network is still on one T1. When HSPA+ is enabled it will blow WiMAX out of the water.

When did you have T-Mobile?
[HD2 General] eenbox:
I have T-Mobile as my personal phone (Proud owner of The HD2) and have AT&T phone as my business phone (company gave it to me to use it)... So, here is the comparison:

Where I live the reception is very strong for both T-Mobile and AT&T - when you check their maps... T-Mobile has not failed me in last 5 years. I recall only one outage I have experienced and that was due to bad weather where I simply was not able to make phone calls to certain people. So my rating for T-Mobile is and stays 5 stars hands down...

Now AT&T - it appears to have faster 3G - like it is a big deal since I do not use it at all :) - but anyway, having faster 3G that's where everything stops. Call Reception is terrible, dropped calls all over the place, you get into the building you loose reception easily, etc. Therefore, can easily rate AT&T with lousy 2 stars - which they get only based on faster 3G.

Bottom line T-Mobile is definitely better in service where I live which is Chicagoland Northern burbs - but comparing it to Verizon? Well, I never had Verizon as I am not fan of CDMA networks - more like GSM person (habbit I brought from Europe I guess lol)... I heard Verizon is good with coverage; not that great in Basements - but having HD2 in mind - I do not think you will regret it...

PS test it out and see how it works - you can get that done and see for your area if it's working or not... good luck!

I ordered a skin for my G1 from Best Skins Ever when I first bought my phone. Never recieved the skin; Never got my money back. I'm glad I only lost 10 bucks and not more. Now I have a Zagg Screen cover and a Zagg Skin for the body. Great quality product. My sister bought one for her iPod as well. I'm definitely ordering the full body kit from Zagg when I get my Incredible!!!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] trillonometry:
I have the zagg screen protector for the droid and totally love it. I think it actually improves the screen sensitivity and reduces fingerprints. I got it installed at best buy and they really went the extra mile to make it perfect (upon my request).

No bubbles or dust under it and its completely square on the screen. Ive been installing Zagg's myself for years on storm and mogul but just decided to save myself the headache and splurge and give the headache to someone else.

It took him 2 different shields but he got it and i gave him lots of props for it since it took like 30 minutes!!!

disappointing

I received the zagg screen 10 days after I originally ordered it and I can honestly say it wasn't worth the wait or the $15. It falls short of expectations which is not many given the nature of the product. I followed the directions and was suprised to find out that I had to apply a liquid solution to the shield and apply it to the electronic lcd display, but I did it anyways. They sent the screen along with the application solution and a black sponge in a plastic container that could not be resealed so I'm not able to save the liquid. I put the screen on, applied the solution with the sponge, and used the squeegee card to get out most of the bubbles as best as I could. Hours later the bubbles still remain with tiny black chunks from the sponge, and also what looks like spider cracks within the invisible shield. Apart from the screen being far from invisible, it just doesn't feel right under my fingertips. I go to swipe and there is too much friction between my fingertips and the screen creating lag due to the rubbery feel. I ordered a clear slim back shell case from HandHelditems.com that came with a free screen protector for my ipod touch for $3.84 and the screen protector is much better than the invisible shield. I don't understand how this company sells this junk to the masses, but they can take their "self-healing military grade" marketing bs and shove it because it ain't worth the trouble. Save your time and money and buy something else.

+1

I ordered mine before the Incred even came out and at that time, they only had the screen only kit. Has anyone bought the full body? I don't want to put it on the back of the phone, I just want to know if it comes with a little piece for the lens. I hated the case I had and prefer not to have one, but then when I set it down, the camera hits the surface.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mokamoto:
I got my invisibleshield on monday, and installed it on monday night. It says to leave the screen off for a minimum of 12 hours after installation. It took me three tries (with the same shield) to get all of the lint and bubbles out. Yes, you do have to apply liquid to the back and front of the invisible shield (so the face of the amoled gets wet). For me, it seems that it worked best when I installed one side (narrow end) of the shield first, then use the black sponge to rewet and clean the backside of the shield as I was laying it down. Squeegeed the face side in the same direction. It looks great installed. My only gripe is that it is somewhat tacky and my finger doesn't glide across the screen as easily, but I guess that's expected.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] shizs14:
Is having a screen protector on the Incredible, a must have thing? Cause I wasn't planning to buy one. I already have the body glove on my phone and I rarely drop my phone. Plus I know the screen protector kinda take the brightness of the color. Please let me know if this is something I really need to get. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Grikshanks:
Just to throw in my 2 cents:

I blew 80 bucks trying to get a invisibleshield working on the moto droid, every one I got I had trouble with, ended up getting fingerprints on the screen, even while wearing latex gloves, still not sure how. One of the protectors came with an indentation from the squeegee card that would not come out, so the protector was doa from the start. I like the material, but the packaging was not smart for the droid version of the protector. The backing for the shield did not have any excess, so you were stuck trying to peel the protector directly off the backing, which then leaves you most likely with a finger stuck to whatever corner you used to peel it off. Then, since the protector is not rigid, it easily flips back on itself, and is generally a mess to get off the backing, much less put on the phone without completely ruining it. Overall a bad experience, and I swore I would not buy another product from them.

When I was on the 3rd protector for the droid, I was planning on switching to the incredible, so I bought a protector for it as well. I just recently applied this one, and I have to say the packaging is light years better than that for the droid. The shield itself is supplied with about an eighth of an inch extra material around the edge, giving you something to grasp to remove the protector without getting fingerprints on it. The shoddy black sponge has been replaced with a small spray bottle that works well to evenly wet the screen. The squeegee card has been replaced with a quality rubber actual squeegee, that works quite well to remove the bubbles and smooth the protector out. The company clearly listened to problems they were having with packaging and worked to rectify them in their new packaging. With the droid, it was a nightmare to put the screen on without messing it up. I went into the incredible install dreading it, with some of the cheap protectors verizon sells as backup, and was pleasantly suprised at how much easier they made the process.

If you have had problems with the company in the past I can completely sympathize, however, I do believe you owe it to yourself to at least test their new packaging if you are interested in this type of protector.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] BigDASH:
I have been waiting on my screen shield for what feels like forever. When it comes I'll post my experience...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] shizs14:
Has anyone tried skinit, was thinking of getting one.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Pops_G:
I am very unhappy with my experience with the Zagg screen protector. It was very difficult to apply. As others have mentioned it has a bit of a rubbery feel to it and your finger will not slide across it as well as one would hope.

There was a bit of user error involved in the installation process and I ended up with a few particles of dust under it. When I went back a few days later in an attempt to correct the problem it was made much worse.

I do not have a level of comparison for other protectors on the Incredible, but at least when I ordered screen protectors for other phones, they were good enough to include more than 1 sheet per package.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Pops_G:
Follow up: I just came from the Verizon store and the girl at the counter said they sell screen protectors for 11.99 for 3, and she offered to install it.

Right in front of my this cute girl put the cover on flawlessly without a single particle of dust and it looks great, crystal clear. It only covers the front part of the glass that has the display, but I actually kind of like it. While I was there I bought a car charger and case cover to absorb some of the impact if I drop the phone. Skin thin protectors cannot do that. You get 25% off if you buy 3 accessories.

Over all I am very pleased with what I got from the Verizon store, and I think the Zagg was a waste of $20.

I will post pics later when I can get another camera.
