Hi. I'm new to this forum. I am not a very technical person hence some of my questions below. Thanks in advance for any help!!!

I'm looking to get the HTC Incredible, and use it on the Reliance CDMA network, and wanted to get some information on a few things before spending the princely sum on it. It looks like an awesome phone and I am keen on getting it.

- Is the only thing that I have to do is make sure that the phone I get from the US works here in India is that it has a clean ESN? Anything esle?

- Since I am looking to get the Incredible from the US (with a clean ESN) would I be able to use Reliance's Netconnect Broadband (3.1mbps down/1.8 up) with this phone? According the HTC website the phone has the required radios to support this capability. I hope that as long as I request Reliance to enable this feature on my account I'll be able to use this.

- Would I be able to use the GPS/AGPS that is a feature of the phone/os on the Reliance network?

- The phone comes with Android 2.1 and HTC has said that they will release an update to Android 2.2 sometime this year. If Verizon releases this update via OTA is there a way to manually (I guess that means downloading the update and then installing it) install this update since the phone will be "off" the Verizon network? Or am I better off waiting for the update to be released and then buying an already updated phone?

- Anything else I should we aware of, as in limitations, when getting the phone and using it on Reliance?

- Is there an import/grey/etc... market here in India where I can get this phone, rather than getting it via the US?

I guess in short what I am asking is will the phone function with all it's features here in India on Reliance as it does on Verizon in the US.

Thanks for any help and information

No, you will be able to use 1x only for data (max 144 kbps) and not EVDO/NetConnect Broadband+

All others features and upgrade (manually) will work.

I would suggest you to go through the Buy-Sell forum and look for offers on it by other sellers as you can't get it activated through Reliance if you import it directly.

Dear Arun,

thanks for the info.

this is unfortunate that EVDO will not be enabled on the phone. that was one of the very appealing features of paying the price for the phone. is this becuase Reliance won't allow it, or is this because of some hardware issues? i am assuming there is no way to get this enabled/working? i was considering to the get the Galaxy i899 which has EVDO enabled but the Incredible has much much better hardware....

also, if i were to import the phone myself (i have relatives/friends going back-n-fro to the US quite often) could i have someone "flash" the phone for me to work on Reliance? i could probably buy a used Incredible in the US for very reduced priced compared to a new one.

thank,

gjp

It isn't a hardware limitation but EVDO needs additional parameters that can be done through Reliance's end only; they won't even allow the connection to be activated through their side. If you need to use EVDO with Reliance then you need to buy the handset from Reliance.

If you have someone to do "it" for you then its fine, else find a deal in the Buy/Sell forum and buy handset from the seller.

Am thoroughly enjoying my incredible and cannot thank Sadik bhai enough for bringing this beast to me. I am having two issue with my Incredible:

  • If my incredible is in my jeans pocket and it rings, when i take it our from my pocket, the screen turns unresponsive. I am not able to answer/reject the call. I finally have to press the power button to turn off the screen and once again to turn the screen on. But due to this my phone call gets missed and I have to call the person back. this causes a big inconvenience.
  • After switching on the 1x data, when I try to switch it off by long pressing the Power button and choosing to switch off the "Mobile Connection", the data connection does not turn off. I finally have to restart my phone to turn off the data connection. Is there some other way to turn the data connection off?

request the gurus to please help me with these issues.

Also, is there any news about the HTC's Froyo update. It was supposed to be out on 18th of this month i guess.

Thanks

Manuj

You can download a widget from the market for turning on/off the Mobile Connection. It takes only 1x1 space on the Home Screen. Very Very convenient.

Also consider 'Multi-Icon widget' to quadruple ur Homescreen size.

hi all

I've come back to stock 2.1 from the leaked 8/1 Froyo 2.2 leak - via the downgrade thread posted in XDA. Once back on stock, I've rooted again and

s-off'd. But even after downgrade my hboot is .79 and not .77. Is this a concern for upgrade to stock 2.2 Froyo?

Also do I need to install 'PB31IMG.zip' again , now that I have rooted again and applied s-off?

thanks and regards

^^^ I am also facing the same problem since the past few weeks.. I feel there is some problem in the speaker.. The only option would be to change the speaker... and I do not know where do they do it.. Once you know someone, do let me know as well..
