***Official HTC Incredible Thread***

Sorry start from 1:04

Watched it three times and went through frame by frame and still didn't see the dots... Maybe my eyes are shot....

 

[msuna]

Does this phone have a cut and paste option?

 

[Gekko]

why would Verizon and Sprint now even bother with the Nexus One now that they have the Incredible and EVO 4G?

 

[E.K M3]

For anyone that wants to know how visable the dots on the screen are go to 1:06 in the video

YouTube - Verizon Incredible is Just That

Thanks,

I can clearly see the dots...
Anybody can't see it, pause it at 1:06. It's right before the DI plays video.

How can the metal be recessed? Wouldnt the plastic/glass lens cover fall off?

The metal is recessed.
If I close one (non-dominant) eye, and look at it at a slight angle, I can see it clearly.

Crude side section view in paint (how I see it anyway):

Go to YouTube and fullscreen the video, you'll see them then. I can't see how they would be noticeable unless you're really looking for them though.

Verizon and/or Sprint doesnt make or sale the N1.

Yes

YouTube - Copy/paste in Android's HTC Sense UI - AndroidCentral.com

So what i am gathering is that the Lens is recessed inside the metal ring

So only when the screen is all black can you barely see dots? Is that a problem?

 

[jfoey22]

So this can be and will be possible for The Incredible soon? Out of curiousity, did you have to "root" your phone?

Yes, i had to root my phone. I am guessing it will be possible, it is on a WinMO phone.

As best as I can tell from pics, yes...

A couple of contemplative thoughts:

If I'm trying to use ATK in an effort to help stretch my battery life, why would I leave it running all the time? I would just start it when I wanted to use it, like any other app, and then kill it off when I'm done.

If Android is better at managing my phone than me, then why doesn't it offer a way to completely close apps when I'm done using them? This is one of the few glaring flaws I've seen in smartphone OSes.

If you're using a task killer to kill off the occasionally misbehaving app - fine. That's how I use ATM and then I kill off ATM.

If you're trying to micromanage your phone's memory by auto-killing apps or obsessively running a task killer and killing off apps in order to free up memory, you're wasting your time. Let the OS do it's job and manage this for you.

We're not dealing with MSDOS here. You don't need to deal with HIMEM.SYS, EMM386.EXE and finding that last bit of extra memory for that TSR.

These show up easier to the camera than they do to the eye. I recently put an XV6700 up on eBay and they showed in every picture I took, but could only see them at just the "right angle" with my eye..

I see it differently.
(ignore the dots)

I can see the dots when the screen is all black but once the color is there you cant really see them

Aww man tha means I have to open another window.. meh I'll take a look later. BTW NICE AVVY!!!

 

[Droidconvert]

Does anyone know if there will be a similar device for the DI? I really like the idea of not having to plug things in at my office. Nothing to break, keeps the port available for other uses (If necessary)

Touchstone Charging Dock. Wirefree charging! Touchstone

I bet Steven won't be able to see them!

I think the point is that they are simply allowing them on the network, rather than marketing and selling them. You get them from Google directly..

 

[macdaddybuff]

Are you here to antagonize people?

 

[smp2k]

The dots are there just before the video plays...but it's no big deal.

Unless you're looking for them they won't ruin the experience. IMO
