[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patsfan1130:
You're going to get a lot of opinions but in the end, it really boild down to what you want out of a smart phone. The Dinc is admitedly coming to it's end. However, the Dinc community is still huge. We have devs that are still highly interested in working with this phone as well. The incredible is still one of the best phones on the market IMO. Some of these newer phones coming out don't impress me very much. Certainly not enough to make me dump my Dinc. I am currently out of contract and have zero intentions of getting anything different. The phone does everything I need it to do. AND MORE

Just my 2 cents
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bill102938:
I would either pick up your friends Dinc and use it until your eligable for your next upgrade. Then sell the Dinc on craigs list or ebay and get some of your money back.

Right now I don't feel there is a good enough alternative the the Dinc to even warrant me getting a new phone when my contract is up. There is nothing my Dinc wont do that I need it do... and it does everything quite well !!!

You'll like the Dinc... it's lightyears ahead of the Eirs... I upgraded from an Eris :-)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notoriouscwe:
Thanks for the replies, I think I'll do it. The thing is, I only really need a few features as I have a BB 9700 for work I carry most of the time.

I need a good music player and volume buttons (lost the ones in the eris, it's awful)

Second, I need wifi tethering which won't be a problem since I plan to root it.

Finally, I just want a larger screen and more responsive system than the eris. I was able to get a lot of good use out of that little phone but it's just not cutting it a year after purchase.

A few other questions...

How fast can you OC the Dinc with setcpu safely?

How good is the battery life? I would plan to use auto brightness, gps/wifi off.

What about call quality?

Finally, is the screen OK in bright sunlight? The eris is awfully reflective so I would be hoping for an improvement in that regard.

Thanks again, you guys are great.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunder74:
Yeah with winamp or power amp you have a formidable music machine with the DInc.Battery life is ....meh...BUT if you use CM7 and use a kernel with smartass and havs you will be pleasantly surprised. As far as screen performance in direct light I have to say my smiled DInc is better than my slcd DInc but northern are great lol. But its still a viable device and with CM support it will be viable long after Verizon shelves it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
I personally found setcpu not needed but it's fun to play with. All you really need is a good kernel.

Battery life... i recommend purchasing an evo battery and dropping in the 1500mAh in it... fits in the stock case too.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerocool79346:
I don't know if just got lucky or what, but with 16 hours unplugged, I'm at 50% on the stock battery plus I've been streaming Audiogalaxy for at least 2 hours today, made 2 ~10 minute phone calls and sent 50 or 60 texts. While granted 6 hours of that was while I was asleep, I'm more than pleased with the performance considering it is actually better than what I got out of the Eris. Call quality, is meh at best, I'm fairly certain my Eris was better, but its not terrible unless you have to be on the phone for hours a day. Screen is just as good as the Eris if not slightly better, but any smartphone in direct sunlight is a lose situation. I think the safest overclock I've heard of on these phones is about 1.2, but I'm not sure if that's even very stable.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blockhead42:
I'm currently with a Droid X, and am a bit jealous of the unlocked bootloader. I'm just not sure that Motorola will continue to update the X for the next year and a half I'm with the phone. Do you guys think the Incredible's dev community will continue to be there over 2 years after the phone was released?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cougar618:
This is a great phone, love being able to root and flash custom ROMs. It's gonna take a little while before you can do that on those new phones, and if you're gonna go w/ recently released phone, i'd advise you to go with a dual core htc phone.

you could also buy the phone used
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1rked:
Yea Ziggy's kernels go up to about 1.2 iirc, but most kernels do 1.13 and are very stable. Most newer kernels come with the smartass governer, which I find to be very helpful in saving battery life, I can easily make it through the day, which is all I really need.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kioshi:
Buy your friends droid incredible. Trust me. Im a college student and my first phone was back in 2005. Since then, i have owned 8 phones excluding ones i bought in japan to use... im a phone whore and proud of it.

But the incredible really has put a dead end for me when it comes to upgrading my phone. I mean, rhis thing isnt too big compared to droid x or htc evo. It really is the perfect size for me...to fit in pockets and use to text message. The only thing that woukd make me switch out from this phone is if we got phones with one seg tuners, put monet onto our phones and use it to pay purchases, etc....

Im pushing myself to last this phone for another 2 years easily....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible510:
1. For music players it really comes down to preferance, but I like DoubeTwist(allows you to sync itunes library/playlists), but make sure you have/buy a SD Card that will hold all your music as most of the players dont read the 8gb of internal memory the DInc has.

2. Im runnning chingy's ROM and get through a day without the need to charge and making a few calls, around 40 txts, 1hr total of browsing, and running through a bunch of different apps(fb, twitter, a couple of games, etc).

3. I haven't had any problems, I wish the speaker phone was slightly louder, but its been good both ways.

4. Honestly its pretty crappy, alot of squinting and angle adjusting but like mentioned thats whats gonna happen with most phones.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notoriouscwe:
Thanks all for the help, I indeed picked it up and it is in perfect shape, lucky find I think. Anyways, my initial thoughts...

Screen sucks in bright sunlight, but so did the Eris and the dinc has a larger, same quality (i think...) screen so it's ok for me.

It's fast! So responsive compared to the Eris running custom ROM's overclocked...

Battery life is ok, I might look into getting the evo battery brand new as somebody suggested.

Next questions:

I couldn't find a real answer, does the dinc have gorilla glass? Should I get a screen protector?

Can anyone point me in the right direction for rooting the dinc? Also, what are the best roms to use? I rooted my eris using a one-click root which was a piece of cake. Drop a .zip file on the SD card, boot into recovery mode, run the file and reboot. Is it the same process more or less? Initially I wasn't even going to root as it's so fast and snappy but i want to use different themes and all the sdk's that I have downloaded over the last year for the eris. Also, I don't want to pay $20/mo for wifi-tether. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMac024:
This combo has been amazing for me. Went to bed last night with over 50 percent left. Typically I would have had to charge the phone at least once. I can't remember exact up time but it was in the 15 hour range. Moderate to heavy use.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMac024:
Pretty sure it isn't Gorilla? I would get a protector. As for rooting....

I am using CM7. It isn't in RC yet but I am very happy with the nightly builds.

Good luck and enjoy!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcaliendo:
I came from Sprint with an Epic 4G to a Dinc just last week. I was hesitant to make the jump since I knew that Verizon would have new hardware coming out soon, but then I started seeing the specs on the new stuff and realized it wasn't that huge of a jump from the Dinc's specs. I do miss the SAMOLED screen on my Epic, but nothing else. The Dinc is an amazing phone, especially when paired with CM7. I have no regrets whatsoever.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottylove:
I think that a Dinc with CM7 is extremely worth it, it feels like I bought a new phone. Also, hopefully, further releases this year of Android 2.4 will be put into Cyanogenmod, once again lengthening the life of the Dinc. Spec wise it is slightly outdated but not by far (yet). I believe you will be very happy with the Dinc until November at least, when u can spring for a next gen 4G / Dual core / Dual camera phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notoriouscwe:
So I installed the unrevoked recovery, did a nandroid backup, wiped the cache and tried installing the cm7 zip v38. It has been at the cm7 boot screen for about 3 minutes...Where do I proceed? Did I need to install a kernel first? Full wipe first?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kioshi:
You should full wipe first, wipe cache and wipe davilik (sp?)

install 38 build zip, then whatever kernal you have then install gapps. You should be all set then.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n8w:
Full wipes aren't a bad thing, but neither is patience. They can take a while to boot up the first time around.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notoriouscwe:
Thanks. I decided to flash incredibly engineered and its working after many wipes and reflashes. Either way CM7 would boot cycle after trying to flash gapps. Should I have downloaded gapps with rom manager and installed manually after reboot in recovery?

I never installed a kernal either so I assume roms have them preloaded. Should I try Cm7 again ? What will it give me?

Thanks again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kioshi:
Yoy installed through recovery? It shouldnt give yoy bootloops...

Your going to love cm7 try installing build 33 or build 21 both of which are stable. 33 build glitches out on me because i use simeji keyboard swapping between gingerbread keyboard....

Why can't I find a lot of games on the market? Is it a carrier thing? I have a non-sense rom, and would love to play NOVA. But I have no clue how to obtain it. Theres a few other FPS's I would like to try as well as Madden. How can I go about getting them?

If you like MMO's, Pocket Legends is where it's at. Great game, very well done and extremely addictive.
[EVO 4G General] nosympathy:
I find it weird that Nova doesn't show up in an AOSP rom, (just checked) but I know it works as I have backed it up and then restored it to an AOSP rom. Maybe buy them in a sense rom and backup and reload?

I put together a YouTube video with some of my favorite games, most of them are 3d games. Nova was one of the games. Search though my old posts a few months back to find a link. Or pm me and ill get ya a link if ya want. You should be able to download a trial to all gameloft games, but you have to go to their site from tour phone. They are not available through the mArket. Everyone of their games is worth the $5 that they ask.
[EVO 4G General] sand1303:
Wait and get the playstation phone if it ever comes to Sprint. Then we will have decent games.

Gameloft makes a lot of fantastic games. They usually have the best graphics as well. Don't know if they work on AOSP or not though. I know that they're not market games and you usually pay for the APK file from their website. I believe (could be wrong though) that they make NOVA as well. Anyway, they make an awesome golf game (Let's Golf 2) as well as a really fun Spiderman game that I highly recommend.
[EVO 4G General] Hamspiced:
Cestos - you control little balls, knock other players balls into holes. free online and addictive

Pocket Empires - Kinda like starcraft but time based. Really addictive and free. Online.

Alchemy - Super addictive. Start with 4 elements and make a bunch of stuff. Also free

Andors Trail - Free kinda like Earthbound.

Age of Conquest - like risk

Robo defense - Defense Strategy

I can't get any keyboard sound on the Tap n Tap Western Keyboard. Is this a known issue? Does anybody please know how to solve it?

Vegan 5.1. My two other installed keyboards (android and Notion Ink) both make sound when I enable it, but I like the Tap n Tap layout better. I have tried various combos of click and vibrate (vibrate doesn't work either, but that's OK), and I have tried rebooting after disabling and enabling the keyboard sound. No luck.

I can't believe there's not a major thread on this, but I can't find any. I did search for 2 hours here and on Google, but all I could find was a single post about 6 weeks ago. Sorry for wasting time if there are answers here already.

Also, if he knew how to flash romsm why the glitchy horrid unofficial version and not some cool amazing rom based on froyo from XDA ? It may be nothing but the un official update.
