how to remove something on htc incredible

^^^anyone got any idea? i am continuously getting the same damn text from them.

 

Look up shapewriter. It works basically the same way and is actually what I'm using to write this post from my DInc.

 

ahaha....i have no clue wat you just said. all i wanna do is make them quit texting me.

 

maybe someone you know. zmail is an anonymous email client.

 

i dont know man...it happened when they connected the phone. at the end of the text...it says "to stop these messages,simply reply to this one"..........

 

lol

I was referring to the question about trying to find "Swype". Shapewriter is a 3rd party Keyboard that works very similarly to Swype. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it online. I know that they pulled out of the Android Market for some reason; however, you can still download the .apk.

That's just the file extension for an Android Install file - just click on it once you save to your SDCard and it will install. VERY EASY.

However, I'm stuggling to locate it for you right now. Let me say this, though. I really don't even like Swype/Shapewriter that much anyway. Yes, it may be fast with practice, but I feel like I'm racing each time I use it. It's like "I better move my finger as fast as possible, or I'm not taking full advantage of this Keyboard!" That's not really something I need in my life. I have enough to keep me stressed as is. The only real time I used to use it was when I was in bed next to my wife reading and writing on forums like this. It eliminated the noise and vibration of typing. However, now I just used Vlingo's keyboard that comes with their app in those situations. It works like a normal keyboard, but doesn't vibrate unless enabled.

Anyway, I'm rambling.

 

Let me google that for you.

Ok, I'm done now.

 

I just got a HTC Incredible too. Shit is compicated! I've spent several hours on the couch messing with it.

 

if you are having problems with your 2.2 have you tried doing a factory reset? It fixed all the problems on mine and my wifes incredible.

for screen protector check out invisible shield by zagg. you can get it at best buy and have them install it for you. It's a bit more expensive than the others, like around 30 dollars, but has a lifetime warranty if you scratch it. which is pretty hard to do if you check out there site you'll see.

Enjoy your phone, we still can't put ours down after having them since end of April.

 

i have the zagg and i am incredibly impressed with it. if you go to their website they have videos of them taking keys, nails, and even a dremel to phones with the protector on it. not a scratch

 

i have the zagg as well. it is very tough but i just dont like it that much. it feels rubbery and has an orange peel look to it. plus one of my corners is starting to fray and i even had BB install for me.

 

what are people using for covers for their phones?

 

I have the silicone one fron Verizon and love it. It's very low profile and definitely protects it. One of my favorite parts is that it is soft like most rubber covers allowing ease of taking it off and on, but it is still slick, unlike rubber which sticks when taking it out and putting it in your pocket.

Some will say that it's cheap and recommend don other, more expensive and indestructible 3rd party case. Though I'm sure they're all great cases, I have first hand knowledge of how protective this one is. Try dropping it 15-20 feet while going about 40-45 mph onto metal grating from a speeding roller coaster. That was quite the experience. Only damage sustained was 2 stuffed corners of the case. Phone was flawless!

 

What I want to know is how to get rid of apps on the phone that verizon insists I have but don't provide a way to uninstall.

 

^^^^^^^
wow, if thats not a convincing statement...
sounds like a bit of luck also?

I've seen some cases on Amazon.com that are like $.02!

 

Nice

 

it requires rooting phone then there are a few apps to use to do it or different roms. I use titanium back up to remove the stock bloatware. You can also do it through adb depending on how linux suave you are.

 

Uhh, what?

 

lol I figured you might get a response like that. For the meantime, just ignore the apps you don't use. This phone/computer you're carrying around will not be bogged down by these apps.

I you want to avoid them completely:

1. Create a folder on one of your home screens
2. Then name the folder (open the folder and press tap the title bar) something like "Apps I use"
3. Then, just add every program that you use to the folder and skip the ones you don't.

Then, you'll never have to open the native app list.
