From what I understand some people are starting to receive the Gb ota. Just wondering if anyone here is able to get it via checking for new software.

I found this on a quick google search http://gadgetian.com/20137/htc-droid-incredible-2-gingerbread-ota-update/
I'm not running that version, but a signed and verified one from someplace much more trustworthy IMO. I cannot give a link to mine, but everything about the .4. version is refined from the .3. and the phone works flawlessly now !
good luck and godspeed boys!
i'm sure once the ota is pushed more you WILL see it posted around so keep updating those browsers
Just got the notice

I just did a force check and am downloading it now. I am in Southern California.
Just force checked and got it! Tampa
It's also available for me in NY, but I declined... Don't want to loose root!!
Finally just checked my gfs phone and its downloading now. In in MA.

Downloading now
Lakeland FL. Close to Tampa.
I have it, dc area
Carelessly swyped on my phone so there may be some weird typos
Available for me. 50 miles south of DC.
got it in monterey, ca... seems good to go so far...no htc hub tho, i thought sense 2.1 was supposed to have that included...not sure what to do with the new dock option...looks pretty tho
Just checked and it is available in south eastern Pennsylvania. It is taking a while to download over 3G so I will probably try connecting to the university's WiFi to speed things up.
Force check in DC worked like a charm.

Does this count towards the new tiered bandwidth amounts? I was lucky enough to be.grandfathered with the unlimited so it does not effect me personally, so just wondering if ota updates are an exclusion.
I got it and ignored it. Near Albuquerque, NM
Murder-apolis Minnie-snow-ta just got the email from HTC notifying me its available. Waiting to hear more about how its working out for people. Still not decided about root either. Liking having options right now.
Not sure if it just me but the internet browser feels a lot snappier and responsive especially when typing in forums and also switching between tabs/windows. Selecting text to cut and copy also feels a lot nicer and more accurate moving around the selector icons. Switching from tasks also significantly smoother.
Seems that in terms of "bloatware" the only thing new that was added was Google books which is not so bad, at least it is some game or service that requires a subscription like blockbuster.
Also, while the other preinstalled stuff still can not be uninstalled the.option to move the applications to the SD card was added to all of them, which I guess is a step in the.right.direction, but personally them taking up space was the least of my worries with generous big SD card that came with the phone.
But the improved default internet browser had to be my favorite change so far, since I prefer it over the third party ones and probably is one of the top uses I get out of my phone.

I've updated my PRL and profile several times. My old phone was slow too. Could something be wrong with my account?

It could be your area. Try testing in different locations. If it's still slow, then it may be your account.
Sometimes if you use a lot of data, there is some evidence to suggest sprint may throttle you.
The other thing could be your phone. If you have a lot of processes going, even ones that don't use data, it can still affect the phones ability to work properly.
I would try ruling those out and then call Sprint.

There is a thread for this already, a lot of people are having this same problem, including me. It started around November, when before, I would constantly get at least 1500kbps down and up, as both my home and work are less than a block from a tower.
After one day for some reason, I can NEVER get anything above 100kpbs, and it usually doesnt work at all. I have done everything, and sprint, stupidly, thinks that its a hardware problem every time, and since November, they have given me 5 brand new evo's. ALL have the exact same problem. I'm no expert, but 5 brand new phones dont all have the same problem. I have called CS MANY MANY times, and they refuse to check their end, saying every time that "our network is fine".
Whats weird, every friend I have on sprint, their phones are fine, even 3 year old phones. Whats even weirder, my friend with an evo, and the evo's in the sprint store all are fine. But with this thread on here, and a long thread on AF, there seems to be an isolated issue with a lot of people.

Well you can count me in as an isolated issue. My 3G has been fine for like 2 years now, and all of the sudden, I'd say the past month or more, total crap. It's taking me about 5 minutes or more to download a 2mb app update on the market. 4G is still good. I really wish I knew what was going on. I do the same Profile and PRL updates like the OP daily.
Well its definitely not my 3g being "slow". I am just not connecting to it. Qik errors and says I am not connected to 3g. My data status says 1x RTT for my connection. I need to call sprint.
Is there a new DTR for the newest nightlies? I'm on 97. I tried the previous one for 7.0.3, and my phone got stuff at the white boot screen everytime.

Not that it matters, but you do realize that the DTR mod is merely snake oil, right? It does not prevent VZW from throttling you, nor does it reduce the likelihood of it. It does not increase speeds. All it does it remove the capability for device-side throttling, which carriers don't even utilize. As such, wrapping your phone in wax paper and spooning cherry pie filling on it would have the same net effect on "throttling"as the DTR mod
Are you sure? Because before I first installed the mod, my data affords speeds were at 0.6mbps. With mod, it was constantly 1.3mbps. Now that I flashed a new ROM, mod gone, I'm back to .6.

Then najaboy is absolutely correct.
Data Throttle Remover - let's do some mythbusting
Even the original developers of this hack claim that it no longer works (it is referred to as "extinct") and only originally had any effect on T-Mobile and Canada Bell:

SO FAR, THIS HAS ONLY BEEN KNOWN TO WORK ON T-MOBILE USA AND CANADA BELL... ALL OTHER CARRIERS SEEM TO HAVE THESE FILES JUST BECAUSE IT'S A STANDARD IN ANDROID 2.2.1 AND SEEM TO BE CONTROLLED COMPLETELY OTA UNLIKE TMOBILE AND BELL...

The link above also has more of a timeline for when this mod was ported across the various phones (and therefore various carriers)
Ask yourself why the CM team doesn't bother messing with this mod. If it did what it claimed, why wouldn't they include it stock? After all, they include tethering functionality as part of the rom itself.
One thing I never got is why they (CM team) haven't gone ahead and removed it. Yes, most mobile companies don't use it and probably never will, but stranger things have happened. Plus it would cut down on the size of the ROM, however small.
Alright fair enough, so any other logical reason for the random data speed increases and losses at the same spots.

Its just variation in network speed, I don't know that there's much rhyme or reason to it. I was getting 200-400kbps down earlier today, tested it like 20 mins later and was getting 800-1000kbps. Same location, same setup.

There are moment to moment variations in how RF signals propagate. What makes the DTR popular is that people see this variation, whether positive or negative, and incorrectly attribute it to the mod. It's a textbook post hoc logical fallacy.

I had been using this keyboard during beta for quite sometime and grew quite fond of it, and it just ran out the other day causing me to revert back to stock
Luckily, Amazon is offering it for free today!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005D9MUWY/ref=mas_ty
Ugh, I was using this as well in beta, really really great keyboard. They came out with the full version, and were offering it for $1.99, and I figured it would take forever to come out for free, so I bought it. Kicking myself now!
To be honest, if an app developer makes a good app I'm perfectly willing to pay for it. I think if I had bought it before the offer today I wouldn't be kicking myself
I downloaded this from Amazon today, but it refuses to work. I have installed twice and gone through the set up, made Swiftkey default, but I still am only able to use the HTC keyboard. Are there any tricks to getting this to work on our device?
I was able to get it working just fine on CM7. However, I am unable to complete the setup process because the language pack download keeps failing.
Edit: Shortly after posting this the download decided to work, so I'm all set up now. Now I just need to spend time with it to see if I like it!
I got mine working too, for the moment. I was enabling the keyboard before downloading the language pack. Apparently, the set up process needs to be completed exactly in order, or the keyboard does not work correctly.

You can enable the keyboard and set as default without going through the setup process.
I paid the full $4 for it. Worth every penny.

This is how you make a developer happy
I'm pretty sure Amazon is compensating the developers for their daily free stuff so don't feel too bad about getting it free!

Thats 2 bucks that goes to a developer who invested hundreds of hours into what is probably the best keyboard for android. Nothing to kick yourself about.
Awesome keyboard. Worth the 2 dollars.
Is it just me or is the space bar too small? I end up hitting period instead of space all the time. Same thing with backspace and return sometimes.
Enjoying every minute of it. I was using FlexT9's swipe feature (Kind of miss that) but over all its a Very Impressive keyboard.

The one I posted allows you to save the searches and lets you know when something new has been published. it isn't the one by darkierawr linked which isnt as good.
I have had this app for a almost 2 years now.. this is the best craigslist app hands down.. I wish it was still on the market.
I set this app up, so that everytime a new job in the I.T field was posted in my area, it sent me a notification..
I have my resume and cover letter on my phone.. so I would email it to them within 5 minutes of them posting it.
That is exactly what I do with mine phone and Craigslist app. My last 4 jobs I got because of this app.
I was always one of the first 4 or 5 people to apply
The winning factor in getting a job now a days.
Keep resume as PDF, quick email.. Winning
Can apply for a job while at the Ball Game with ease (done it)
I don;t get it, I have Craigslist mobile on my Epic and I still see all of them on the market.

Got a Sprint S6 yesterday and got it unlocked via eBay. 3G is working great, getting about 10 mbps.
Wondering though if I can get 4G working, just because... Well, why not have it if I can? lol
The other problem I had was that MMS can only be received when I turn wifi off. This isnt a huge deal since i rarely receive them though.
Lastly, has anyone figured out if its possible to bypass Samsung Pay's root detection? I've already rooted and set off the knox so it's too late for me to use a non-trip method

I have an unlocked Sprint S6 and I'm using it on AT&T and I can get LTE, but the reception is bad if I do it that way. But the icon isn't going to say "4G". If you look, it says HSPA+, which is "4G" for T-Mobile and AT&T.
