  • i have problem and i can't update at all…i even try to the the hboot with update.zip and i get a error…

  • I assuming the change in the build numbers was due to the update that fixed the corporate email bug.

  • Why doesn't my Moto Droid show the current 'Browser Version' under 'About Phone'? Everything else seems to be listed.

  • Ok…I am getting so aggravated with my phone…I have had a smooth running phone for over the past month and I cannot figure out what the deal is with it…I keep getting the following message:

    Sorry!
    The application HelixLauncher (process .com.helixproject.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
    Force Close

    Cyanogen 5.0.6.2
    JRummy's Remix v0.7 w/ Cyan Theme
    Kernel version 2.6.29-omap1-bekit-0.8.3-5x1100LV
    OverClocked at 800Mhz

    This happens with both “HelixLauncher” and “HelixLauncher 2”, and this happens prob a dozen times a day. After I Force Close my phone runs like crap for a couple of minutes (blank home screen, app drawer won't show up).

    Only thing that I haven't ever changed is my Kernel. Is this something that may help? I am uneducated in the field of kernels.

    I don't have any stupid apps (soundboards). I don't have many widgets running (beautiful widgets, youtube, and SetCPU widget). I run Task Killer and make sure there aren't any apps running all the time, so i don't think its a RAM issue. I just don't know and need more advice. I just want my phone to run smooth, fast, and to do its job. Please help.

    • it could be the kernel…try 5 slot standard 1ghz

      when i used anything over a 1ghz on my phone it would FC…but every phone is different. Some can run the 1.2ghz kernel just fine while others can't.

      when you download a new kernel, on the SetCPU don't check “set on boot”. test a few out before settling.

      • Alright I will try that. However as I had mentioned I am totally uneducated in the kernel field. Where can I download from and what do I use to install?

        Thank you much :o)

        • You can download kernels through Rom Manager. I have the premium version but I think you can still download kernels in the free version. First go into Rom Manager, then hit your menu button at the bottom of the phone, make sure you check Advanced Mode. This will allow you to download kernels. Then back out of that screen, click Download Rom then click CyanogenMod then you will see Bekit kernels (0.8.3) and P3Droid Kernels. You can select a Kernel from either one. Make sure you have a backup because sometimes you can pick a kernel that your rom doesn't like and you will get stuck at the M logo and you can install a nandroid backup and then try a different kernel.

          • any suggestions of a good kernel???…i have done some research and have read that Bekit 1.2GHz Low Voltage is pretty decent and popular…thoughts????

          • Definitely give that a try, I use Bekit's Low Voltage Kernels as well. I think I use the 1ghz 7 slot low voltage normally, actually I just checked and the rom I flashed last night actually came with the kernel I just mentioned. Try the kernel you mentioned and you should be fine. Don't set on boot until you test the new kernel out and make sure its stable. Hope this helps.

          • have had new kernel (Bekit 1.2GHz Low Voltage) installed for almost an hour…not problems yet…smooth as my girlfriend's _________.

    • It looks yellow on the left and green on the right to me. As the battery drains on my stock Droid, the indicator changes from green, to yellow, to red. Incredible appears to be the same. No?

      • That could be correct, I don't know……guess I never let mine get low enough yet, its always green..lol my bad I guess 🙂

  • I've got 605.0 and none of those issues. Maybe the After is the problem?

    Noticed that mine is saying there are no updates available either. Hrm..,

  • Not sure what this is about, but I can tell you for a fact that VZW has not started to roll out any updates yet. At least not any that they have made their employees aware of or updated in their systems.

  • I was reading the phandroid website and stumbled across the same thread. I have not received the OTA and checked my phone for build and still showing the 493 build number.

    So far, I have zero complaints on the Incredible…except for one instance. My girlfriend and I were at the casino yesterday in Louisiana and I got no reception inside. My girlfriend has at&t and she had full bars and was able to give and receive calls. embarassing to say the least.

    My only complaint, besides the reception at a casino, is the battery. The battery life on the droid is much better than the droid incredible. Kellex, have you looked in the seidio extended battery? thoughts?

    • Maybe AT&T had a cellular extension system in that building… cheaters

  • I have not yet received this update either…I work for an auth retailer and I asked my indirect manager he knows nothing of it either…but that doesn't neccessarily mean anything though LOL

  • There was a problem with Exchange email that this may have been a fix for. At least I saw an alert for a possible software fix yesterday morning.

  • There definitely isn't a big number of Incredibles in the wild yet, but you would have figured someone else would have received this. We'll keep an eye on and let you all know.

    • This is actually most likely a fix to a tower handoff issue that was experienced in a portion of North Carolina. If only very select users have received the update, I doubt it is for Active Sync or a few small issues with Visual Voicemail. This issue was originally reported by Engadget.

  • Its weird that only one person has received this update to my knowledge of reading several different sites, and its the one in the screenshot.

    • I commented, but people must have missed it. I believe it has to do with a small update related to an Exchange issue. There was an alert that went out either late Friday or early Saturday.
