@nimbuscrenel I looked and was confused by the various versions in various threads. Combined with the lame searching provided by vBulletin, I thought I'd just ask.
Thanks for the info, I do appreciate it, if not the condescension
Sorry, no condescension intended- these version numbers are ridiculously confusing
Wow, thanks I didn't know about this widget, I had always used the volume down to set my vibrate mode, now this widget is even better.
I think it's great to see so many people posting still using the original Incredible. I still think this is one of the best phones. I have the original first incredibles with the amoled screen and to me it's on par with the iphone retina display. It's one of the things I love most about my screen so crisp and clear. I'm not a fan of 4.3 and higher screens. Now with gingerbread, it's running so much faster for me. I'm in love all over again w/ my phone.

I'm having the same issue with the app drawer

My 87MB update notification popped up last night (never got the first update in Sep), but I wanted to wait until I saw some feedback, so I kept pressing "Update Later" when the pop-up reminded me. Now I'm ready to do it, but I can't find the update. The Gingerbread update pop-up reminder has stopped showing up, and I've looked in Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Updates and it says I'm up to date (but my software still says 2.2). I did the *#*#checkin#*#* thing and got the notification that the chick succeeded but nothing happened.
Any ideas how to get the update back?

I'm getting annoyed. As the day goes on, things work more & more different every time I go to use something that I use on a day to day basis. My texting is outta whack, the application drawer is jumpy, & a few other things. I'm beginning to assume gingerbread has something to do with this as everything worked a-ok yesterday before the install. I'm regretting this until the next "bug fix" update arrives.
ThanksYeah, reading that again I really didn't help much did I?

OK so I wanted to be Incredible Specific lol.
What's your opinions on upgrading to 2.3.4 Gingerbread? Do it or Don't?
My phone is annoying the heck out of me to upgrade say's its downloaded and verified.
I think it works fine the way it is but reading all this crap I don't know if I should keep ignoring it or let er fly. I made an app backup with astro.
Sorry if it's been asked before but seems they have released it several times and I wondered if the bugs are worked out with updating it. I'm super new too! I've only had this thing two weeks, bought it on eBay.

Sure. Here's the guide for really easy rooting and getting S-Off using unrevoked (must still be on 2.2): http://androidforums.com/incredible...ked-3-rooting-stock-incredible-evo-2-2-a.html
Once you've completed that process to gain root, you can accept the OTA update to 2.3 and re-enable root following this guide:
http://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/420788-how-regain-root-s-off.html
Note sure if the upcoming 4.08 patch will break root again, but I would doubt it since it's just a small patch and not a major kernel update like the 4.06 is.

Not, It messed my phone up, first it force closed everything then on reboot it force closed HTC Sense. Then it erased everything in my phone, total hard reset itself, now my weather icons on the clock dont work. And this is only three hours after I updated it. Dont upgrade to Gingerbread for incredible 1.
The update was pulled quite a while back. I think the general consensus is that same update (4.06.605.3) is rolling out now to everyone, and then there will be another smaller update shortly (4.08.605.2) that fixes those issues.
Thanks. That I knew. I was under the impression that the post was referring to the new update as having been pulled. But honestly, who knows at this point!
Like others above, I've been dismissing the 'update' for most of the day as I was using the phone. Now, I have time for the upgrade at home on the charger. So I press "update now" and nothing. No reboot, no download, no upgrade. The system says I'm now upto date at 2.2. No more nags to upgrade. Don't they test these things?
Right. We all just got the large update that is about 90mb. It seems Verizon will also be pushing out a smaller update too. See here http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/system_update/incredible_instructions.pdf
