    Unlocking the SIM card

    All these services have to give you your unlock code, it's your right as a customer. Do not, I repeat, do NOT pay any service for an unlock code when you can get it for free from your service provider. The customer service agents are instructed to give you a hard time in the hopes that you'll...

    Any closer to getting ICS?

    I asked HTC this exact question and the answer I received was the following: This doesn't guarantee a release, but at least it gives us hope. HTC's website says nothing under 512MB for memory will receive the ICS update. Since Incredible 2 has 768MB, it should be clear sailing until ICS...

    Any closer to getting ICS?

    February 4, 2013 and no update. Are Incredible 2 owners fools for waiting for HTC and the ICS update, or will the ice cream man deliver the goods eventually? I will say this: if the ICS update comes late, I'll be upset they made us wait so long, but grateful that it came. If it does not come...

    Any closer to getting ICS?

    It's been almost two months with no issues. I'm using AT&T's EDGE network for data speed, which is quite slow, but I haven't had any issue with data usage. So far, unlimited is unlimited. I'll update if things change.

    HTC Incredible 2 on Straight Talk 3G Speed

    All carriers are SOBs. At least I have unlimited everything and I pay less than half of what they wanted before. Take THAT Verizon!

    If you're considering Straight Talk I highly recommend it... especially if you have a phone that will allow 3G speeds. Unlimited everything... what's not to love?

    I hope so because this waiting game is for the birds.

    Any closer to getting ICS?

    I hate to say this, but for that reason alone I think is why a lot of people move to them. Granted, they're second place now, but still, consistent updates for all? What a great mantra. You listening Android developers?

    Any closer to getting ICS?

    Yes, still waiting for an update. Does it really take this long for a few connectivity issues? HTC needs to take a dedicated team off of all the 'new' devices and get them to work on legacy devices. Come one, we gave you guys our money already and you're forgetting about us?! This could be one...

    Any closer to getting ICS?

    Good point. Having a closed system seems to some like a bad idea, and it can be, but having total control means consistant updates, which I like. Android may be a more open platform, but the fragmentation is a killer. If Google could just devise a system that would allow most phones to be...

    Unlocking the SIM card

    @Brandon Clark1 - I just kept asking for the unlock code because I'll be jumping to Straight Talk. It took three tries, but it worked in the end. Now I have unlimited everything with ST. Only issue that my Incredible 2 uses AT&T's older Edge network, which is pre-3G, but at least it works.

    HTC Incredible 2 on Straight Talk 3G Speed

    Does anyone know how to achieve 3G speeds using an HTC Incredible 2 on Straight Talk? I've read that Verizon has some kind of firmware block on this phone so that if you unlock it and switch networks (like I did) your data speeds would be slow. I'm only able to receive AT&T's older EDGE speeds...

    Any closer to getting ICS?

    I've never been one to side with Android or iPhone or Windows Phone. They're all manufacturers looking to take your money. They're all heartless thieves in my mind. But if there's one good thing to be said about any of them it's this: Apple is generally quite good at updating most of their...

    Straight Talk on HTC Incredible 2 Global

    I have an HTC Incredible 2 Global (has the SIM slot). I've read that people have been successful using a Straight Talk card in it. I've also read that some people can't get it to work. I called Verizon, received unlock code and unlocked my phone (unlocked the SIM card, I mean). I know about the...
