+1 I was also able to browse with no issues on a laptop connected to the built-in 'portable hotspot' feature. FWIW, I did not set a passphrase (just left the defaults). Also, it did appear to be in infrastructure mode.

Is anyone else using the new voice search getting a Force Close every time you try any of the new functions which depend on (afaik) gmail -- such as "note to self" "send email to..." and so on? Other functions work fine such as "call such and such" or "listen to whatever", but anything...

I recall reading about someone who had this issue with one (but not all) of their el-cheapo MonoPrice chargers. Maybe a grounding issue with the charger cable (beyond the grounding issue the phone had universally until 2.2 update). So, questions for you... Have you tried more than one charger...

A whole thread just so that someone could tell you that yes, it's being called a new leak because it is in fact a new leak. New Version: 3.17.605.0

Thanks for the heads up, and for all the hard work!

You should be able to fix this. See the so-called 'Downgrade HBOOT' threads (like this one: http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-incredible/123816-how-revert-back-earlier-version-hboot.html ). What is not often discussed/clarified is that the 'hboot downgrade' method would be more...

My only hesitation in posting an attachment right here is that I know that to varying degrees Google frowns on their apps being openly distributed (re: the issues Cyanogen had that led to them being pulled from various ROMs and distributed seperately). I figure it's no big deal, but it's just so...

It works. I replaced the current one with the one from gapps-passion-FRF91-signed and it fixed the problems. Had to load the app twice the first time as it closed itself to re-sync once.

Whatever floats your boat. Personally I wouldn't trust the integrity of the system after doing what you did, and would want to *know* that everything was proper before calling it a day.

There is nothing wrong with Titanium, unless you want to argue that it should be programmed with even more features than it already has to prevent you from being able to do what you did. You restored settings and configurations that were from a different system version, and things didn't work...

While the vanilla lock screen works fine after removing those two files, the alarms are still messed up. The problem isn't that the alarm won't sound when set from the HTC clock app anymore (it does). The problem is that you cannot shut it off without also having the HTC Lock Screen, and it will...

Without the udev rules, when you run the first adb command for any given session, it will start *without* the permissions it needs, and subsequent adb commands will fail. Setting up the udev permissions as doug suggests is the ideal way, but there is also a temporary workaround you can do in any...

A new one will not help. See this video (4th test from guy who made original video) which is testing three separate Incredibles (two are brand new replacements) side-by-side and they *all* have the issue. He also compares those three to an Eris and a Moto Droid, neither of which have that issue...

Either way, it shouldn't matter much. If it didn't work or you lost root for any reason, just go to http://unrevoked.com/ and click on the image for the Incredible. Today unrevoked released version 3 of their tool. This will root your phone and flash the custom recovery all without your needing...

There is a reason I only took issue with ryanosaur's first comment and not the rest -- the rest was opinion and experiences to which he is clearly entitled and from which we might all benefit, but the first bit was an attitude which he chose to express, and from which nobody is going to benefit...
