Electronics Android Incredible! - Page 6

El Jefe · 05-27-2010, 07:28 AM

I didn't want to put this in the media center, because I wanted as many people to see this as possible. Was curious if anyone has a Droid Incredible? I just got mine, ordered it on the 12th and it finally came in. I am very pleased with it, it is quite a machine. Wanted to know if anyone had any really good apps they would recommend. I had pandora, zedge, google maps, google earth and a couple others. What do you guys/girls have on yours?

Anyone know how you clean the touch screen of the incredible? water and cloth? I know it gets smudgy at times due to oily skin or fingers, for the most part i wipe with a tissue and its fine but it has some specs that i know i need to get wet to clear. Any ideas how i should do that? or whats safe to use? dont want to **** it up

I am assuming that the screen is similar to that of an LCD monitor. If that's the case, I've heard that a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water makes a good cleaner. The main thing is not to ever spray anything on the screen itself. Dampen the cloth, then use that on the screen.

A City gig is a long process. A Police gig even longer. I'm hopeful though, and I really want that job. I enjoyed the process of studying and I found that I can read and retain a lot of information pretty quickly. I'd also like to be able to help people and maybe save a life or two now and again.

But I'm also participating in other options in the realm of school/training in case it doesn't pan out. I've got a clean record, but I'm concerned that my four years clean is about two years too short. We'll see.

Wifi is usually faster and more consistent than 3G. Especially if you're indoors.

Thanks Daface adn BCD, im so new to this 'smartphone' stuff...

Yeah i may try that alcohol, i also heard that cloth that you use to clean glasses may be a good alternative. ive been very picky and wiping it alot and for the most part its stayed really clean like new.

Don't mention it. I dont know about the Incredible, but the Droid will switch to wifi automatically if its a stronger signal than 3G.

Like the man said, things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out. You seem to be busting your hump to get to where you want to be. I admire that and am pulling for you.

If you check ATK semi-regularly you can have it turn off a lot of background things that you don't even know are running.
And whatever you do keep gps turned off unless you are using it. That one will drink you dry in a hurry.

Does anyone know when you download an app off the web, and your settings are set to not install auto on 'unknown apps' where does the download go? how can i delete it, since its not installed?

I cleared my browser cache thats about all i could find on my incredible

Sure-Oz · 12-08-2010, 10:46 PM

Anyone have had an issue where the incredible randomly restarts? I've noticed its done this twice now so far...no update done that im aware of. It restarted when i was on the phone for about 20 min earlier and cutoff the call. Weird...
