Benny do U have any idea how to set the notification tone for new emails? I understand that it uses the general notification tone in settings, which I have changed to a custom ringtone but when my emails arrive it uses the Alpha tone. sweat.gif

Thanks.

Never has such issue. Do a factory reset and avoid install cracked system apps,

I have bought a set of soft resin back case. Anyone interested - PM me ; I am not making any money - just to sell these extra off to cover my petrol going to post and costs posting to you. Just RM 12 each only - one each red, purple, transparent, dark blue available
The resin is soft and is a perfect fit to the incredible S. I have taken the black color. It is very nice and the back bulge has a nice small honeycomb pattern

I've switched mine to run on WCDMA only and I've not had a single crash/reboot since. I sure hope it stays this way. Also, where can I get a SP for this phone? I'm don't care about the back, just wanna protect the front.
Thanks!

Oh wait. Only the back part? Does it cover the metal surrounding the screen?

I got a problem with the HTC's Data Dashboard widget. After some time, the mobile data toggle on/off fails to works. I removed and replaced the widget but still didnt work. I had to reset the phone for it to work again. Is this a bug?

It wraps up to front and covers up to the front edges left, right, top and bottom

Since both Incredible S and Xperia Arc are in similar price range and both having same processor, I did a comparison between the two ; all solely my assessment as I own both smartphones. You can read it at my blog:

apk that knows your market account details that you bought it.

what it does, is checking the market(your logged account in market) whether you bought it or not.
so apk only wont solve the problem, ask benny's account too..  brows.gif

I bought the spb shell but I understand that those ( from Xperia users ) who install the apk from ahem sources when launch, it will check online the purchase status. Apparently some users said can get it working but some cannot. Those that could get it working highlighted after reset it default back to HTC Sense and you need to relaunch the app again. Anyway if you like it, buy it and save yourself all the trouble

If unable to detect, than install the android usb drivers - download android sdk from http://developer.android.com/sdk/
Run the file, than go to where you have extracted the files, launch SDK mamanger to install the android usb drivers

Download the SDK - run it. It will extract into a folder ( you can define where you wish to extract or it will auto install ). After install locate the folder and find SDK Manager - run it

And please do not give excuse being noob - did you ever go and research what this sdk is about ? I have given you the link - there are guides and help there . If you are not sure spend time reading it

perhaps with charges involved.

There will be cahrge as it is not under warranty . I wionder whether they have the part for it since so new. ANyway can get such back covers at ebay ( not original ) for about US$10 to US$12. The original will cost about RM 100+ at HTC service centers

hey guys..my friend's Incredible S sometimes restarts itself and then the message "just recovered from crash" appears..

is it normal?

have any of u guys experienced this before?
*
this type of problem and related sudden resets is usually due to software - probably those warez/cracked apps which are installed. There was an article by Google few months ago about such apps causing instability. Avoid at all costs such especially system utilities apps You can easily test this - do a hard reset - do not install such apps and you will no longer see such issues

but my friend is a complete noob when it comes to phones, so he wouldnt know how to download/use those cracked apps in the first place. so dont think that's the problem...
and i read back some of the posts, a couple other ppl are complaining as well..zzz

why ahh? my friend's phone is also a week old only..

Actually all such issues, first thing to do is to factory reset. Install only apps from Market and observe whether such reboots recur. If still recurring, than send in to claim
Some tips ( some might disgaree ) : DON't use task killers. If you want to use , use only one type. Some guys are so crazy they install more than one type - these apps will affect your system stability. I don't use task killers at all, after all Google already said is not necessary but some people just refuse to believe it, thinking it will help the phone be faster and save battery life

For those facing reboots even after hard reset, it is best you make claim for a new set. Since the phone is still so new, should not drag it further

This is HTC Official statement from their site about the rotatable soft buttons:
" Intelligent design, down to the buttons. With the HTC Incredible S, all the details have been polished and fine tuned. While other phones support auto landscape rotation for wide screen viewing experience, the HTC Incredible S even rotates the buttons on your phone for easier navigation."

I was surprised to read that Digi takes it back acknowledging it is a problem !! But not surprising as most counter sales staff are usually not knowledgeable about the technical details
