Facetime on iOS can do it...
Any Devs out there played around with that idea? It seems like the perfect add-on for Evo owners.
So, no thoughts???
This would be a question for the Q&A section.
Here you go.

Hey everyone!
I am formerly of the Windows Mobile camp and finally made the jump over to Android. My Droid Incredible 2 comes in [hopefully] by the end of this week. I've played with Android as a dual boot on my HTC Touch Pro2, but it certainly doesn't compare to the look and feel of a real Android device.
So, I have a few questions that have been burning in my mind, maybe some folks could help me out.
What are the different versions of Sense on HTC's Android devices? I hear good things about the newest version, but I am told that the DInc2 doesn't have the latest and greatest.
Does anyone playing with the leaked Gingerbread ROM know if the Sense version was updated at all, or are there hardware requirements stopping that from happening?
What is up with HTCSense.com, I hear the DInc2 won't be compatible with the site, any idea why? It seems like a really good value-added type of feature.
What are some of the benefits of the upgrade to Gingerbread?
Any good suggestions for managing notifications? My fiancee just got the DInc2 and she charges it in a different room. I like to use my phone as an alarm clock, but I noticed notifications going off all night on her phone. Any way to stop notifications between certain hours or even just toggle them on and off easily? Ideally I would like to automate this with a way to override sometimes.
Any general advice that folks have for the phone itself?
Thanks everyone, and sorry for the extremely noob questions.

I only have 1 thing to advise. Wait for root. Don't put that ruu on, the you can try whatever Rom comes out. Cm7 blows sense out of the water

Try Shush! Ringtone Restorer. It silences your phone, and lets you choose when it will automatically come back on.

Kind of like Timeriffic??
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alfray.timeriffic&feature=search_result
sense was not and will not be updated throughout the gingerbread roll out for the dinc2, probably any bugs or issues in the system will be addressed but i don't see them giving us a different version at all.
Thanks for the help folks!
Shush and Timeriffic seem like they might be what I am looking for. I'm not too hung up on Sense being an older version, I think what I was thinking of was when I heard HTCSense.com and its backup utility was said to be not compatible with the DInc2. From other things I have read, it appears that it will purposely never be compatible because of Verizon.
I'm also really really hoping this phone gets the ability to play Netflix Streaming. If the original Incredible can get it, I can't see why they can't find a way to make it compatible with the newer model.

There is a Rom for the Eris that is slowly getting HTCsense.com to work

Hello, I just downloaded the demo apk for Minecraft (a 3D building game}, BUT, it's only for xperia play. Using the "Virtual trackball" app, it successfully emulated the D-PAD, and one button.That button Is used for jumping, but since it auto-jumps, it's kinda pointless. The 2 important buttons are missing. Jump and put. My question: Can we somehow, emulate, those buttons? Of course, via root.
Thanks!
Swyped from my HTC Desire.
I am looking for this too. I've been able to get directions as well as jump, squat, and cycle through blocks (via a dualshock 3 hooked up bluetooth to my galaxy 10.1 tab) but it seems the only way to truly get it to work is to somehow fool it into thinking it's a xperia play pad somehow.

Oh sorry
Next time i'll read more carefully
This is probably a silly question but wouldn't it be awesome to have something like Webtop+ or Ubuntop ported to the Epic touch? I know Ubuntu is already working on our phones but I would like the Flash Player capability in Firefox Web browser and and maybe be able to control the phones Interface in a separate window like the photon 4G. If somebody knows how to install the flash player plugin within Ubuntu any information would be much appreciated. Wishful thinking probably but it never hurts to ask.
I recently just go rid of my Galaxy note which was running CM9 kang hotw1r3 ROM for the S3. i loved the apps and the theme and was wondering if there is anyway to find out what apps hotw1r3 was running in that ROM, if they were compatible with the S3, and is it just as simple as moving one to the other folder for the apps. i checked through the threads but didn't find anything. and sorry if this is a dumb question/or already been covered but I'm new to android, from iphone and we all know how that story plays out.
I have read with great plasure about the rooting and installation of custom roms on the One X. As a previous user of the HD2, the modding community kept that device alive for months and gave me the experience of installing and using custom roms.
As such, as soon as I'd had enough of the gaudy sense screen and couldn't be bothered to simply slap another launcher on the phone i rooted it with glee and am now running any one of 3 roms (greatly mood dependent)
I have run into 1 significant issue, and i'm sure its a relatively quick fix, however my post count is precluding me from posting in the relevant thread, so rather than being a moron and simply spamming my way to 10 posts, I thought I would ask in the help forum. Never know, someone may have superior searching skills (My 2 hours searching have yielded disappointing results) and be able to give me the information to correct the issue...
When using Navigation and listening to music via Bluetooth which I do on a regular basis while in the car, normally, on all but 1 ROM (My favourite out of the 3 I use) the music cuts for a second, the voice tells me what direction to drive in, and then the music cuts back in again. The ROM in question in the Eragon Rom. Blade Elite and Sentinel all work fine and dandy, but the one I like most, due to its brilliant battery life and good looks, does the one thing that means I cannot use it. I have a feeling its due to the way in which the music player works, it doesn't show up in the task-bar area when its playing.
Is there someway to change the default program for playing music via Bluetooth? Is there a way to fix this issue that anyone can think of, and no I don't want to just use another ROM, I'm a very stubborn person and like what I like...
Thanks in advance for any replies, I am aware of my noobiness and simply wish to learn...

install another music player, we are not allowed to tell you which one as this is not allowed on the forums which is probably why you could not find the info you require( comparisons are not fair to other devs ). best just to try a few and decide which one suits your purpose the best.
