something I noticed loggin on to facebook this morning. On the bottom of the facebook page it says "Download Facebook for your Hero" Does the HTC Hero have the same hardware as the Incredible? Just curious is all and also wondering if anyone noticed the same

 

[Needz_Android]

is there a refresh button on the stock browser?

 

[TheGoatLantern]

Yes all the way up at the top of any screen, its a part of the address bar.

I just tried an App called LogMeIn. It is a remote access for the PC. I have to say it is pretty cool. Have to register first on logmein.com. It is in beta and currently free but worked very well on the Incredible.

Guys, im really starting to hate this phone, i wanted i phone i could play games and stuff on, but the optical trackpad is making it difficult i try to play SNesNoid or Replica Island and its really difficult, cuz the track pad wont follow my thumb

You're not supposed to use the trackpad, you're supposed to use the virtual keys.

I miss the old thread.

 

[petekw]

I have found many good apps but I am somewhat frustrated by the 'Market' widget. I would like to have better sorting options to help me determine the best app for me. What websites can you recommend that will help me in this fashion? I just found appbrain.com and that seems pretty nice. Anything better?

 

[talliford]

does anyone know how to save a picture-from google images for ex- to your phone?

 

[talliford]

Yes all the way up at the top of any screen, its a part of the address bar.

or if you hit the menu button, then there is a refresh there also

when the phone is locked

is there any way to make the screen light up when you received a notification?

 

[Anonimac]

Well, this is the alternative to the massive thread... now we have hundreds of unorganized threads, dozens of duplicates, etc... i can't imagine how this is better but it is what it is.

OK. I have had the phone since the 29th with zero issues.......until today. I received many phone calls, and could not hear the other person. I placed several calls, and had the same problem. After texting some of the people I called I asked if they could hear me and they said no. I rebooted the phone twice to no avail. Finally I did a full reset and it solved the problem. Has anyone else had this, or similar issues. I would really hate to have to do a factory reset each time there is an issue. I still have a few weeks before my 30 days is up. If the problem happens again, I will return for a new phone.

yes, with handcent app which replaces the stock messaging app. It can turn on screen and pop up when screen is locked.

 

[talliford]

haha one issue i had was that i send a semi-long text to someone and they asked why i put upsidedown question marks in between every single letter....I didn't. LOL. idk why it showed up that way, she said that was the only message that did that though

Here's a battery savings tip:

Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks (second one) > Enable Always-On -- checked by default, uncheck it.

That should save up to 15 percent. I got this tip off of our chat channel listed below. If this helps you, add your thanks below and join our channel!

great idea Steve! Just remember you may have to manually refresh mail and social networking streams from time to time.

it happened to me,but I figured out why. My car has bluetooth audio which automatically sysncs with phone when in range. i was on a call and my wife got in my car and drove away, probably listening to what the person I called was saying as I couldn't hear or speak to them. Otherwise no probs!

My first Incredible I returned because the on/off switch stuck and then I had the same problem not being to make or receive calls. I pulled the battery out and it reset. They sent me a new phone and no problems with the new one. I would return it!

Is it the Handcent SMS app? There are quite a few app's title Handcent.

yes, app. the others are a bunch of extra fonts, locale plug-in, etc... you don't need that stuff, just get the app and customize to you preferences. And before you post that it's broken and giving you double notifications, make sure you disable notifications in the stock app so you only get one.

I've had the phone since it came out, and I only have two complaints: my breaks at work seem a hell of a lot shorter, and my homework never gets done.

 

[Red Leader]

How do you turn off the tone you hear when typing numbers on the keypad? I don't see the setting.

 

[Ruben]

I can't believe I haven't noticed this! Just like ol' home. JK.

Anyway, I made it to 1,000+ posts!

No one's found a way yet, that I know.

 

[Myronbg]

Try settings>language & keyboard>touch input>text input

 

[@rellyonsmash]

another thing that I don't like

when sending text messages in landscape mode you have to hide the keyboard in order to click send

so annoying
