Droid Incredible Tips & Tricks Thread

You can use an app called Timeriffic to change sounds at certain times, but there is not an app to turn the phone off or on at a certain time.

Locale can turn phone volume to zero at certain times of day or at certain gps fixes. It isn't the "off" your looking for but maybe a workable substitute.

That's strange. I had an app that did that for my blackberry storm.

Push the Volume Down button or the Power button. It will silence the ringer.

Hope this helps

Lmao. I love sarcasm.

I just found this out today. By pressing the avatar of a person in a text, a menu pops up allowing you to choose to text, email, or call that person.

Sorry if this has been posted already.

When attempting to input usernames or authentication strings it can be annoying to have the auto-correction boxes located over the submit button. You can move these auto-correction boxes around the screen by long pressing on any of the suggestions. Wait for the haptic feedback and slide your finger around to move the boxes.

That's the best tip yet. Thanks.

How do I forward a multimedia message with an incredible

This works for stock messaging app and handcent.

Hold down on message containing MMS and a menu list should pop up. Select forward and there you go.

Very Nice tip. I just did that and moved it right above my input box.

Thank You!

CAPS LOCK is activated by pressing & holding the upwards-facing arrow on the virtual keyboard.

Not sure if someone already posted, but you can also do Caps Lock by pressing the Up Arrow twice.

Not sure if this has been mentioned (didn't go through all 7 pages) but if you ever need to hard reboot, instead of pulling out the battery you can hold down: power button + volume down + track pad (in that order)

 

[KnicksALLday]

is there a way to turn off the vibration when dialing a phone number?
