[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
after about the 5th call over a 3-4month span, i keept telling verizon the eris in stock form is to slow to function as a actual smartphone. And the fact that they discontinued the phone(within a week after I recieved it) and never updated it with ota 2.2 froyo was a crock! I basically told them after doing my homework, the only way to make the eris a decent phone was to root and rom it...but that voids your warranty. So I said this was my last time calling, you can either get me a new phone, or Im out of this contract and moving on. The rep told me to hold on for a sec, then came back and told me his supervisor will allow me a to get any new phone but the iphone or tbolt for free. I said great send me the fascinate!! Although I did have to extend my contract for another 6mo but I figured it was well worth it. Verizon has a different set of rules per every divison across the US. I could make 100 calls to customer service and never get that deal...but sometimes persistence pays off lol!

I've had the Eris, and Droid 2, and just updated to the iPhone 4. Just amazing. I love the netflix app, I work 12 hour shifts days and nights and let me tell you the netflix app is the best thing since sliced bread. It does everything perfectly, and no need to jailbreak it. I love it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trifthen:
Heck yeah! I almost don't even care that it's practically a dinner plate. It does everything a smart phone should, and it's not boot locked.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zach.xtr:
My work went to AT&T and got me an Atrix :-)

Other than the locked bootloader it is very fast and a good piece of hardware that is a nice size IMO. I would like some true GB on it though...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phone_cell:
I haven't yet seen the right phone for me. Here is what I want: unlocked bootloader, dual core, LTE, qHD or better display, 4" screen size. I'm eligible to upgrade in August.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidQ:
There is nothing out today that I would be 100% comfortable with signing a two year contract for. I am upgrade eligible in August and my contract is up in December. As much as I have enjoyed my free rooted Gingerbread Eris, I am ready to throw it through a window. I am strongly considering buying used Droid X and wait it out until something compelling enough comes out. Whether it is the Targa/Bionic, iPhone 5 or our dream phone a Nexus phone for Verizon. Dumb idea or wait it out with the Eris?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MongooseHelix:
I think it would be good idea to move up to a more powerful phone while you wait to save your Eris, and a window, from a blunt force trauma situation ;). Amazingly, you can even sell an Eris on ebay for ~$70 and maybe more if you find/know someone who wants a gingerbreaded phone on the cheap.

If you are set on the Droid X for the big screen then that's fine, otherwise you should consider the Droid Incredible. Performance-wise they will be similar but the Incredible will be cheaper to buy, has a much better ROM options/customizations and a larger dev community in general.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decon1:
I certainly don't care for the "big Screen". Also with my fumble fingers I love having the Trackball but I doubt we see it ever again.

Hangin onto the ERIS for now!

Decon
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehosteda:
Yeah, I am thinking that I am going to stick with my Eris for a while. Nothing out really wows me. I don't think I can live without being able to flash custom roms if I get sick of the current one. Thats why I think if I can find a reasonably priced Droid Incredible, I think I may go that route.

But I am kinda loving the Gin-Sense-Tazz rom right now. Its pretty speedy, and I really like HTC Sense.

I'm going with either the Function or jumping to tmobile and getting a g2x... have another trip to Cinci next weekend and will be testing tmobile network there (not impressed with Verizon in that area).
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splashattack:
Ended up buying a OG Droid off ebay. Was going to get a Droid 2 for cheap off a co-worker but didnt work out. Just waiting for it to arrive now.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
Voted for INC 2 since the Incredible isn't an option (as in OTHER) or the Incredible S as we are looking seriously as switching to GSM 3G/4G - now that unlimited data features are going to be phrased out (grandfathered, until one change, switch device, etc. etc.) Both at the office/home, our secured wifi network speed simply knock VZW's actual speed to the ground flat - so not going to buy the claims about 4G LTE, etc. nor do I need a dual core CPU on a waffle thin brick phone at those prices (and most likely EOL in 6 to 12 months, even before the OEM warranty "expired" without going for the extended $$ protection - NOT, never buy or sign for it.

Holding off renewing/upgrading & thus extending contract with Big Red just to get to a "newer" smartphone with larger screen, worse-off battery life & poor/non-existent 3G coverage at our house (never mind 4G LTE, both indoor/outside - showing 3G but consistently getting 1X speed) - Eris running latest GSB V3.4 is just fine w. speed, reliability & standby time - only wished it's screen size is a bit bigger (3.7" or 4") but I could see this remaining in service until I'm out of contract next February (primary line - secondary line already eligible for 20 mo. upgrade since this March.)

And, as long as the carrier continue to pimp out locked bootloader, i.e. on global phones (ha, ha - still got my mint condition, unlocked HTZ Ozone for travel + it worked on AT&T (and T-Mo) + wifi, just a tiny 2.4" non-touch screen - not going to be bothered with a new contract/extension - will stick with month to monthy & heck with the ETF on the lines, LOL.

(Note - using less than 400 MB data a month now - used to be under 200 MB so the lower tier pricing could save us some $$$ if we stay with CDMA/LTE tech ....)

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haxcid:
I went to the LG revolution yesterday. Damn fine phone. Love it, rooted it today. Now waiting on a recovery mod so I can start removing the standard bloatware from Verizon.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1234567188:
Just freeze it with titanium backup
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mallend:
I am eligible for an upgrade now. I was interested in the Droid 2 Global, but I cannot find the refurb option in the upgrade section, only when I go about it as buying one as a new customer. I would pay $50 for a newer phone, but no more than that. So for now I will either stick to my Eris or switch back to my Palm Pre for a while. Miss the WebOS.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the kid escobar:
I went ahead and got the TB. I got an incredible deal on it and while I was happy with my Eris running GSB I just could not turn down a brand new TB for the price I got it at.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacksmithjim:
Isnt T mobile being bought? That will affect my decision when its time to upgrade. I'm leaning towards the TB.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianoob:
ATT made an accepted offer, but the US gov hasn't approved it yet and Sprint is fighting tooth and nail to get it blocked. I'm going to buy a Sensation outright and use it on either Tmobile or Cinci Bell
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knipp21:
I got the incredible 2 because I'm in the army and wanted a global phone. The inc2 is basically a mini tb without the 4g.

Sent from my Thunderbolt.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtdocrx:
same here - got mine from my brother in law, though. liked the rogue well enough, but this phone is boss now...he kept his eris stock, so when i showed it to him with GSB v3.5, he was floored. love the work by the devs here. due for upgrade in Sept, eligible now, likely wait for the rumored droid 3 (like the actual keyboard vs virtual). i have huge hands and fat fingers. i like buttons more than touch screens, but i realize that likely puts me in a dying breed.

not that i care much about dual core or 4g, i'd like to make sure my next phone is one that lasts. as such it will likely have both.

for now though, my eris is more than enough to keep me patient!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianoob:
I tried to get a Sensation, but after 3hrs on the phone with T-Mobile on two different calls I called it quits... have an Evo 3D coming Friday.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemonoid:
It would be sick if they one day went back and made a super Eris. haha. I just love the size of it, other than having to squish-type. I recently got a D2 R2D2 but not to actually use on my plan, just to mess around with and try to help crack that bootloader to port CM, which has now been done thanks to cvcps and JBird. I haven't had the money to pay outright for an upgrade without contract renewal or I probably would've gotten the Thunderbolt :(, otherwise my renewal is August 17th. Hopefully at that point the mythical creature Bionic will have hit shelves for a couple weeks. If all is true and logical about the release date, should be August. :cool: If not it will probably be thunderbolt
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
I rooted my phone and am using the Leedroid rom. I tried to shut it down and can't seem to get it to stay off. It shuts off and then about 5 seconds later the CW Recovery screen pops up. Any ideas?

Thanks

Tommy
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
I'll bet it's plugged in isn't it? It's a cwm bug or something. Unplug it and it will shut off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Some people like to charge their phone while its off. Not a real solution. Hope someone knows a better solution.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
I agree. Just sharing what I know of the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
Yeah but that's the whole idea. I want to shut it down and charge it. It shatges quicker that way. I did unplug it and it worked likeyou said. Defeats the purpose though. Haha

Sent from outside your window with my Inspire 4G
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
I don't think there is a solution, I'm pretty sure this is just a problem with the recovery. I'm not sure if koush could fix it or not. It might just be one of those things where if you want clockwork recovery, you gotta live with the bug. I'll take clockwork.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
Haha true but any other recovery that would allow for this? Not a huge deal just curious
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Nope, for the inspire just clockwork
[HTC Inspire 4G] sjkoellner:
I've heard turning fastboot off works. Haven't tried it myself yet though.

Sent from me using this thing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
It still does it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ogxku5h:
I have the same issue... Phone will boot right back up after I shut it off and its not even plugged in... Does yours do it too or is it just me? Fast boot is off too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
Mine only does it when the phone it plugged in. It stays off when it isn't
[HTC Inspire 4G] Little_Ant:
I also have this problem. I usually turn off my phone before bed time.

Rooted a few days ago, and this issue sucks. Will clockwork ever get fixed to solve this problem?
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
im used to palringo on my htc touch pro 2 and im hoping they bring that over to wp7, it had a option to leave u logged into aim, yahoo, msn, facebook chat, and a few other services as soon as u turned the phone on and it ran in the background and gave u notifications whenever a new message had arrived

is there anything close to this or any good messenger applications in the windows marketplace that you guys have tried out? anything for facebook chat?

how do the messenger apps work on wp7? are they leaving u logged in and notifying u when u receive new messages or when u exit the messenger app it signs u out and closes whatever messenger service you're using since multitasking would be required for this??
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
I think there is no all in one messenger app,it is all separated.

MSN- messenger by miyowa

facebook chat and google talk- you can try (flory)

hope this help...cheers
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheAperture:
It looks like there won't be an official Microsoft Messenger client.

Microsoft apparently asked Miyowa to write one on their behalf

http://blog.miyowa.com/

I expect in the future, there will be a good multi-protocol client like I had in IM+ on the iPhone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
This statement has been made invalid like a thousand times already. In an interview at CES someone at Microsoft said they had plans for a client but just not right now (pocketnow has the interview somewhere).

If Miyowa was working on behalf of Microsoft like they claim, they wouldn't have their name in the app title (e.g. the facebook app), not to mention it wouldn't be that crap.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
how do the messenger apps work on wp7 do they run in the background or do they close out when u leave the app?
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
It closes when you leave the app. For certain applications, a remote server will keep your connection to the service alive and send any received messages to you via push notifications. Same as on iOS pretty much.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ctt1wbw:
IM+ will be the best when it comes out. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheAperture:
Beta should arrive this month, apparently.

[Windows Phone 7 General] trixnix:
Yaeah!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
Answer to your question is there is no good IM app for WP7. It's an area that's sorely lacking unfortunately.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
ive read there was recently a update with flory im is anyone using that how is it? how is it for receiving messages when you're outside of the application? do you still receive messages when u leave the app with this new update?
[Windows Phone 7 General] bioan:
Yes, it remains active in background. Just check Stay logged and Run under lockscreen in settings. You will receive notifications just like messaging.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Nothing beats Windows Live for Windows Mobile on that OS. Loved it, especially the Push Email for Hotmail...

And integrated presence status in contacts app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Windows Live really was a thing of beauty. Felt just like Windows Live on my pc.

It would be really nice if Microsoft would do one just like that. The only problem for me is all my friends are on Whatsapp now. I keep trying to get them to go over to an msn messenger client (3 friends - blackberry, iphone 4, G2 lol) especially since msn messenger adds a PC client which is big for me, which whatsapp does not have.

But seems so few people use msn messenger for pc in my circle anymore. Facebook and BB killed it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hadung_hp:
is there anything close to this or any good messenger applications in the windows marketplace that you guys have tried out? anything for facebook chat?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
Try Fim Facebook Chat.
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
FWIW, there's some information going round that Windows Live Messenger will be integrated into the People hub.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
WhatsApp is cute and all, but it halved my battery life on my Vibrant so I made them remove my number from their database and haven't looked back since... It's a good solution though, using phone numbers and all... I also like how they allow you to set the App to give clean pop-up notifications similar to iOS (I prefer that and Toast Notification types to Android's "scroll text in the notification bar" bull****).

It's also been having some performance issues, and issues with message delivery speeds lately. Seems like when these startups get enough customers, they stop caring as much...

The main issue for me in Windows Live for Windows Mobile was that it was never updated to support Yahoo!<->Windows Live interoperability, nevermind Facebook. This means half of my buddies could see me online, but I could never chat with them...

This really isn't a Development thread type of post. Posts like this should really be kept in the General area. We are getting too many general questions and posts that aren't related to development in here.

I’d like to tether a spare Moto Milestone android to another Moto (or HTC) android. I’d mainly like to sem-permanently mount one in my car and able to receive calls on it through one in my pocket (with a sim card). Id’ also like to be able to use GPS-google maps and Nav. on it.

I’d basically be sharing a sim card through blue tooth. Any on have any thoughts?

Thanks, PK
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sunnyboy167:
Well for starters I've tried tethering android to android a few times in the past just to sync a phone with no sim and for some odd reason it didn't work. At the time I was rooted using one of the tethering apps from the code.google.com site. But I did find later on that it worked only when I used the built in tether feature in Froyo as opposed to the wifi-tether app I got from the above mentioned site which required root access. Hope that helps. (...I also remember one time being able to tether A to A using one similar to the one I said didn't work for me but it was a newer version so maybe that was just a new improved release)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MikeCriggs:
Well

You will have to tether via Bluetooth. The Motorola Milestone isn't capable of AP tethering and can only create Adhoc networks. There are patches for Android that can make your phone recognize Adhoc though, look into it...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fade2black101:
I was just wondering why a XDA Developers app like the one on Android doesn't exist on WinMo? I realise WinMo is precariously close to being a dead platform, but given how much XDA has helped with this (often flawed) operating system, it's quite surprizing that an XDA app has never existed on this platform.. Even an old incarnation of it. It's a shame, because whenever I boot Android and use it, I tend to really like it.

[Epic 4G Accessories] carnivalrejectq:
http://gorillagadgets.com/samsung-epic-4g-extended-battery-3500mah-with-back-plate.html

I bought that one and it is doing pretty well. Seriously gets double or triple the amount of battery life of the stock battery. Only thing is it gets kinda hot with custom roms overclocked and the bulkiness gets kinda annoying but thats too be expected i guess. Was kind of weary for 25.99 versus all of the other ones for 50 plus but its really pretty decent.
[Epic 4G Accessories] dchawk81:
My experience is that any generic battery for any product performs as good as or better than the OEM at first, but loses the ability to hold a charge after a short time. At that point a double generic isn't much better than a stock original.

I STRONGLY recommend skipping the generic/third party stuff and going straight for a spare OEM. Swapping out is easy, and you won't have the extra bulk.

(This coming from a guy with two 1500mah generics, two 3500mah generics, and two 1500mah Samsungs.)
[Epic 4G Accessories] wj0t:
I currently have 2 generic 1500s and they definitely do not perform as well as I'd like them to. I think I'm going to get the oem like you suggested. Thank you!

E: then again, my stock battery isn't performing that well either..
