If it was coming out tomorrow it would of leaked 4 days ago and PCDPhones would of had it on there website today leak, or no leak.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
I heard it's coming out later.
[Droid Eris Android Development] apreichner:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Verizon website just direct you to the PCDPhones website for the updates, assuming you don't automatically update the device. I'm pretty sure they linked an update to that website for a different device.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Well on the optimistic side, we might just say that the 22nd is when it gets released on PCDPhones. :D Oh well. Keep waiting.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dmc971989:
*patiently waits for this eris 2.1 update so he can port to his hero*
[Droid Eris Android Development] tkirton:
Why wait? Source code for the Sprint Hero is out. I would say that the 2.1 updates for both Hero and Eris are just around the corner.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dmc971989:
not enough to build a working rom and kernel (we are in the same situation as you guys)... and i dont care if the update comes from sprint, verizon, or HTC... whoever releases it first, ill take it and make neccesary adjustments to run on the hero ;)

Edit: I stand corrected... if you gents will excuse me ive got a little work to do :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Just a update it looks like the moto droid had some proplems with there ota so we won't get our ota until there's is finished
[Droid Eris Android Development] StopReadingMyName:
Well, that sucks, but at least we are getting it eventually.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DarthMowzy:
Android 2.1 will come to the HTC Hero late March.

http://www.htcsource.com/2010/01/htc-hero-android-2-1-update-scheduled-for-march/

So I dont think the HTC Eris is getting 2.1 any time soon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pinksocker69:
We were told Q1-2 by Verizon, so it's not all that surprising. March really isn't that bad, considering that Sense2.1 is still in beta.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rigamrts:
march 31 "April Fools" haha had to stick that one in there.

nahh i really don't know when they'll release it but from past updates from HTC "I.E. Cupcake" they take thier sweet time. but nobody ussually complains after cause they get it mostly right.
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
lol...that would be a cruel april fools...

Q1 will go by so so so slow...
[Droid Eris Android Development] rigamrts:
ha ha. the doid users have finaly gone insane. they just benchmarked their chip at 1.1 ghz but say 800 is safe. i'd hate to break it to em but they are really in for it when the phone goes all melty on them. nobody ever said they could never run faster than 600 mhz. we just told them it was not safe. us eris users could clock at 800 too but run the same risk of blowing it up.

wish the droid users would STFU cause they are obviosly idiots.

edit

they got lucky with the unsigned zip flaw they found otherwise they'd be just like us looking at our phone praying for root right now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
LMAO.......
[Droid Eris Android Development] tassadar898:
You would be excited too if you were running at 1ghz and smokin stock n1 users, don't hate on the droid users. I'm running at 1ghz on my droid stable as can be, no noticeable hit to battery life, and temps still well within recommended temps for batteries and chip! I'm on this forum waiting for the eris to get rooted for a buddy, and had to post when I saw such hateful jelousy
[Droid Eris Android Development] rigamrts:
jelousy? nahh. just going to feel sorry when the first driods goes boom. you've got the same processor as the apple iphone 3gs which is a hybrid running at 660mhz. yours is a 600mhz. ti site has 2 chipsets named cortex a8 one rated at 1000ghz the other 600mhz guess which one you got and it's not the giger. the reason i'm calling the droid devs idiots is i looked up your chipset long before you rooted. and yes those speeds are doable just like my eris can run at 900mhz but i wouldn't recomend it. by the way. do you have a benchmark sheet proving your running at a gig or are you just taking the word of the dev? cause other than the screenshot of the app showing 1100mhz i have yet to see a sheet proving it. even i can create an app which says my eris runs at 2ghz but does nothing and all. the eris users would believe due to the placebo effect. but i would never do it tho.
[Droid Eris Android Development] katmandu421:
I just stopped by this thread for a buddy of mine getting an Eris and all I can say is ...Wow, this is some childish $hit going on here.
[Droid Eris Android Development] redman213:
At least we can spell jealousy :p. If the Droid really was stable at 1GHz motorola would have set the clock that high. You can even ask motorola that you researched the chip and know that it can be clocked a little over 1GHz and why Motorola didn't clock it that high...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
All phone processors are underclocked for heating. Usually, phones will have a 600mhz underclocked to 412. Or 800mhz to 600. Something like that. So "overclocking" might not be the correct word, more of "correct" clocking.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tassadar898:
i can confirm it is at 1000ghz all benchmarks indicated a vast increase in performace (lenpack, the pi one, and the one that tests a bunch of others i forget the name because its late).... all i can say is i reiterate, stable, no hit to battery life that is signifcant, temperatures still within the recommended temps (set forth by TI and motrola check their site).. why motorola didn't click it this high is because (i speculate) not all chips can clock at 1ghz, some people have a max overclock of 900mhz 800mhz etc... also some people experience stability issues at non stock clock speeds, i personally don't... so rather than getting a bunch of complaints/phone calls from people getting crashes they put it a safe clock speed.

I have had a G1 overclocked for over a year and not a single issue.. overclocking is safe if you know what you're doing and that applies to overclocking any chip... why some computer companies have "boost" options where they will OC processors within their laptops. YES i know laptops arnt the same as phones but the only concern of OC as far as hardware damage is heat and if you keep the heat at a reasonable level you are safe.. END OF STORY
[Droid Eris Android Development] david636:
You can tell that these Desire users are frustrated. Watching the droid and every other Android get rooted..

I will pray for your root status to come quicker. :D

My chick is soooo waiting for me to do something cool with her Desire.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killerskincanoe:
ditto mine too.. she watched me flash my xperia 5 times in one night. she's excited for something new! and for **** sakes for youtube that works!
[Droid Eris Android Development] moqadasi:
word!

Last time I was here I merely stated what the head of android development for google, Erik Tseng, said in an interview with engadget about the phones "not capable of running advanced resource intensive software" and me switching back to droid, I was attacked and stupid things were said. The dude kept on insisting I stay with the eris because root was "a few days away" this was like a month ago, lol.

My advice, either wait for the nexus one for verizon. or get the droid which is a million times better than the eris.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
I refuse to stoop to that level and can't believe that I said that. I still feel that way but I do not condone saying it on forums. That is what makes me want to leave. I don't care about new phones, why should I. I am happy with the one i have and think it works fine. By the time my next subsidized offer comes their will be a better one and so on and so forth. So take you negativity and go somewhere else with it. This is a place to help others and learn about the device you have. If anything other than that is happening on here then I want nothing to do with it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] moqadasi:
see what i mean!!!

omg!!! this is exactly what i mean!!! ahahahaha!!! I still own my htc eris and I still like it very much, don't you think I want the latest and greatest for my phone??? btw, verizon is already coming out with a replacement for the eris called the htc incredible heres the link:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/...-video-rocking-snapdragon-android-2-1-w/?s=t5

the eris will never be rooted :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jim Gondeck:
Droid Eris running Android 2.0

Been following the root thread for quite awhile and just want to say keep up the good work guys!! .. My friend works for a phone accessory business and I got to play with a pre-release version of the Eris in mid January that he had gotten back in November or December RUNNNING ANDROID 2.0!!!! ... I actually got to try the video camera and it ran much better (no choppy record) and the overall system DID RUN FASTER .. no, there was no Sense, but was really encouraged from what I saw and cannot wait for the update! ... if the phone ever comes back from China, maybe the root boys could use it to find root? .. stay tuned ..
[Droid Eris Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
na..dont be a negative nancy lol..

we'll get a root soon hopefully..the root team is working hard to get this thing done!
[Droid Eris Android Development] apreichner:
The only thing that doesn't make sense to me on the new device is: Isn't Sense supposed to be redesigned for android 2.1 and those screenshots look like the old Sense UI and not the rumored new one. SO to me that says either the device isn't running 2.1 OR the new Sense UI wont look like shi* afterall. Or maybe they were just too lazy to install the new one on that device as of yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] moqadasi:
are you serious?

so its because of people like you that make yourself want to leave xda? sounds like you need a shrink. you originally said (before editing your post) for me to "ride my stupid camel out of xda..." and for what? saying i switched back to the droid? and you're talking about negativity?
[Droid Eris Android Development] moqadasi:
i hope so

never heard that one before, lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorahole:
so, is there a date on when the update is coming, i was really looking forward to jan 22, i was excited to wake up and check my phone.:(
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
I'll contact verizon later today. First off (just so peopel know):

HTC said "An Updated Android Version"

Not "We are upgrading the Eris/Desire to 2.1"
[Droid Eris Android Development] apreichner:
I'm sorry but I might laugh really hard if they update it to 1.6. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I would be REALLY mad... At least it's an update? Not really. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Sense was not ported to 1.6 I guess HTC skipped that build all together. From what I have been told or read 2.0.1 is ready to go but that is bieng held off by HTC cuz they are working on 2.1. If they can't get 2.1 up and running correctly than they will push 2.0.1. But that is just what I have been told, so take it with a grain of salt.
[Droid Eris Android Development] redman213:
I don't get it if 2.0.1 is ready then they should release it. If they released 2.0.1 already we'd get off their backs for a few more months while they work on 2.1...I really hope what you've been told is true. Thats what they did with the Droid and it'll work for us too. Hopefully we'll see some sort of leak divulging the release of some version of 2.0 this month.
[Droid Eris Android Development] iloveandroid:
I have heard an update will be released in 2-3 weeks or so (from Verizon, but theyre not sure)
[Droid Eris Android Development] jballz0682:
They just announced 2.1 for the Droid so that sounds feasible at least.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
Just to point out - Motorola took back the 2.1 update release date, said it was "Announced Early". Not this week :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] iloveandroid:
Is there a Flan/Froyo lockscreen for droid eris (Ive tried lockbot I don't like it)
[Droid Eris Android Development] laxattack:
thats pretty much it what didnt you like about lockbot?
[Droid Eris Android Development] iloveandroid:
It would unlock my phone when the ringer, trackball, and end button, so it would do things in my octet, i only want it to unlock when you hit the end button, yet there is no setting to tell the app this
[Droid Eris Android Development] HTC Kid:
That's about right. The Eclair update is currently starting testing. It usually goes thru a few weeks of testing and unless a major flaw is found, is pushed out. I've seen updates go out in shorter times, but usually it averages 2-3 weeks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Are you saying that the build is in testing now? And we should see a update in a few weeks?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
I keep meaning to call Verizon, since they said 2.1 on the 22nd at my local store. Will do tommorrow, after looking at some code (@binny you guys rock!)
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Check HTC's twitter! They said, "DESIRE and Legend will be also sporting our newest version of Sense, with a few new additions (and Android 2.1).
[Droid Eris Android Development] Framework43:
On their Twitter, they only refer our phone as the Droid Eris.

The phone they are talking about is a new phone that came out

http://www.htc.com/www/product/desire/overview.html
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dangraef:
So this is again the wrong thread?!? LOL! :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] dspanos:
HTC CEO Peter Chou today confirmed that the HTC Droid Eris for Verizon, the HTC Hero for Sprint, and the HTC Hero for European markets will all be getting upgrades to Android 2.1. In addition, those phones with HTC Sense will be getting the improvements – such as Helicopter view – pushed to their phones.

While I’m sure HTC would be happy to make Android 2.1 and the newest HTC Sense available to customers in full, they made it clear that would ultimately be the carriers decision on what to include or disclude from the OTA updates. For example, a carrier may decide that features like Live Wallpapers use too much battery life or that they don’t want to include GPS Navigation in favor of their own navigation partner. These are just examples – let’s just hope our carriers grace us with as much as possible without slowing down our devices.

New statement on Twitter from HTC:

htc BTW Droid Eris, Sprint Hero, AND HTC Hero in Europe/Asia...I can now tell you that Éclair with Sense will be offered for you all.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Videofolife13:
Be careful how you read it. Look at it this way:

"htc BTW (Droid Eris), (Sprint Hero), AND (HTC Hero in Europe/Asia)...I can now tell you that Éclair with Sense will be offered for you all."

Sprint doesn't exist in Europe and likewise, we don't have the Hero over here.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Framework43:
Whoops :p they should of written it a bit better
[Droid Eris Android Development] Videofolife13:
Yeah, mang. You gots ta watch for prepositional phrases. They can be a real biatch, if you know what I'm sayin.
[Droid Eris Android Development] HTC Kid:
You got it. I've played around with it a little today and it's not bad. Some spiffy new widgets, live wallpapers. (Everybody was all excited the live wallpaper does the weather as it is outside, if it's snowing, it snows on your screen, fog makes fog, etc) But yeah, should be out in a few weeks. We are testing it now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jamezelle:
wow thats freaking sweet :eek::D
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I can test for you!!! LOL... Oh well it was nice hoping. Me? I don't have any info on my phone that would be catastrophic if it got destroyed. :D

I believe I've done clean wipe twice so far. Just as a note to everyone here, SYNC YOUR CONTACTS WITH GOOGLE!!! That can save you quite a bit if your phone gets messed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Shadoline:
Found this on droid-eris.com...

Ok, first off I'm just a long time lurker so first post....

thats real...... testing
[Droid Eris Android Development] iloveandroid:
Two questions, HOW DID THEY DO THAT!!?? And Does this mean we have ROOT?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Framework43:
Its probably a HTC signed update, which is why they were able to put it on their phone.

No root :/

Heres the main changelog for our phone for 2.1

-Live Wallpapers

-New Widgets Added

-Leap(organizes your home screens) & Friendstream (combines all your social networking accounts into one application)

-Google Navigation

-Updated Market

-Less Lagged/ Faster to use

-Fixed Loading (The Loading screen is now smooth and not choppy =] )

-New Icons for Apps and in Settings

-Supposedly better Battery Life

-Youtube 3G Problem Fixed (Videos will now play over Mobile Network ALL THE TIME! :D)

-Improved Browsing

-Better Camera Settings

-Better Email Support

The ONLY thing more that i want is probably being able to change the Notification Bar to the Original Stock Android one, and to change the lock screen :]

[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
I tried it and only showed me there is an updated Pandora app out.

First of all it's 11.8Mb's. Second I'm at work and can't open it :(. I don't think is it though...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jballz0682:
I just Google'd Droid Eris and looked at what news popped up. Sounds stupidly simple but whatever. Do what you want with the files just thought it would be a good thing to bring up over here at xda.
[Droid Eris Android Development] redman213:
WTF...

Ok I don't know if this was IE or what but now the file is 55.5Mb's and I'm using chrome to get it this time...well anyways I opened it up and it contains a dump but I don't know how to check for what the dump is.

Someone who knows a thing or two about systems dumps needs to look at this!

Update: Looks like 2.1 for the Moto Droid some apps are version 2.1 some aren't. I'll leave it up to someone else.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nimdae:
Lets speculate that this is the actual firmware leaked.

"Even though it’s an early release but those who have updated have not reported any bugs so far."

The version I saw did, in fact, have some fairly severe bugs relating to SenseUI and some of the addon features it provides. (Edit: Just to add emphasis, the bugs were relating to Sense, not Android 2.1 itself. If a user saw Android 2.1 and proclaimed there weren't any obvious bugs, it sounds like they saw something without SenseUI, IMO.)

"It’s still not sure whether it has Flash 10 support or not but it is definitely coming with the final 2.1 release."

If Flash10 was to be added to Android, it'd likely happen through Android and not HTC's Sense. That being said, this question can be answered by loading a 2.0 or 2.1 VM through the SDK. It's late right now and I haven't updated my SDK in a while, so I can't really check that right now.

To be honest, I would not attempt the use of something like this unless it comes from a reliable source...like Verizon...or HTC.
[Droid Eris Android Development] redman213:
Yup just looks like a weak attempt to get more traffic.
[Droid Eris Android Development] anom69:
How do i go about installing that Rar file onto my Eris?
[Droid Eris Android Development] nimdae:
I tried creating an Android 2.1 vm today to see if it had flash10 and it keeps failing to start because it's misconfigured. This is kinda odd because, for the most part, I used the defaults to create it. Anyway, I'm sure the information is in the specs.

Edit: Got it working. Various articles claim Android 2.1 will be getting Flash 10.1, but it seems like flash is completely disabled in the VM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Captainkrtek:
I believe it has flash 10 lite or something like that :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] redman213:
I remember reading it was four but that aside it's reallly slow on my eris. I tried to play bowman 2 on addictinggames and the graphics were horrible they would drag all over the screen i don't know how to explain it but it sucked...maybe its just because we have 1.5?

[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
We've got to start hitting people up!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
A few notes -

If the About Phone says "release-keys" its been signed by HTC. "test-keys" means its still in testing, and can only be installed on test phones.

Good news is, all these videos show "release-keys", meaning its out in a release form.

Secondly - I'd like to point out to the person who posted this video on Vimeo. If you use a Vimeo username, that has a myspace/facebook attached to that same username, it's easy enough to find out who you are. I made that mistake once :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] nimdae:
I think even 1.5 has flash 10 lite. I loaded a site on my eris (still running 1.5) that had a flash animation that claimed to require flash 10 and it played, albeit very poorly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bigcj55:
Yeah a lot of flash things work on my browser!
