Boy Genius Report has come across a rather worrying “feature” of the HTC Sense bookmarking widget on the Incredible, which takes sporadic screenshots of your browsing sessions.It’s like some one is making note of your browser experience and you don’t feel like using the phone for browsing with the lack of privacy.This is due to the Sense UI Bookmarking widget which takes screen shots of the visited pages and stores in part of memory.
Unless the user knows where the snapshots are saved he won’t be able to delete the pictures,Finding where the picture lies is one more nuisance.In case you end the browsing session, deleting your history, and even a full reset to factory settings failed to eviscerate the indiscreet imagery. You have to manually discover their location and delete them by hand.

Looks like HTC knows about the issue, acknowledging it in a statement and promising a fix “in the near future.” It also suggests a different reset to fix the mess, which apparently is to select “Format Phone Storage” from the “SD Card and Phone Storage” settings menu. Let us know if you have any luck with this and do post in case you find a solution for it. And please, be careful about your browsing habits if you’re worried what might be hanging around.
