What do you mean by they don't show up in gmail. Like their is no option to D/L or just no preview?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
So, because I can't get pics to show up in gmail and from what I have read on other sites I am not the only one, I made a thread asking the N1 users if they can try to give us their gmail app apk and see if we can get that issue fixed for us. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5794499#post5794499
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
I will click show images, but no image shows up, all I see is the image place holder with like a ? in the middle. The same email/pic worked fine under 1.5.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Root won't happen on 1.5 99% sure of that and I don't know your standards as to when you would require insurance but you wouldn't be able to tell what I did to my phone if I needed a claim. If you brick your phone they can't tell. I have been doing this for a year and a half and they have never questioned me. Just here ya go don't screw this one up! But I do understand you hesitation and am not trying to say anything is wrong with where you stand. I know that enough of us have done the update to know thatif we were missing anything exciting because we put the leaked 2.1 on we would find a way to get our phones there.;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] sms440:
Does anyone know why whenever I make a call I can't hear anything, but if I put my phone on speaker I get sound?

Use .vcf files or Vcards put them all in one folder on sd card then go to people menu there it gives option to import contacts from sd card. Worked for me.

[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
What type of files are the pictures? Do you get an option to preview?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
What type of files are the pictures? Do you get an option to preview? I will be gone for an hour.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
I want to say standard jpeg you usually get in emails. No, preview at all. Maybe if you can check an email with a picture in your gmail account?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
In this thread there could be some useful 2.1 files/rom from the Desire that may fix some issues we maybe seeing? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=642189
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
I get preview and download options for .jpeg files. I only get a preview for .bmp but then I can download from the picture viewer. Try sending yourself a .jpeg and see is that works.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
This is with the gmail app, right? I sent a test email and it worked, but I think these are for emails with embedded pics.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
So, I did a test with an embedded pic instead of an attached pic. No dice on it showing up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dangerous Dave:
Howdy all...new guy here. First, let me just say I'm in awe having read this ENTIRE thread and watched how this all progressed. You're a talented bunch for sure. Got the zip file on my SD card but haven't pulled the trigger just yet, still waiting and watching for a bit, but getting all my duckies in a row in the meantime.

So...probable dumb question from a guy who works in a technical field, but knows nothing about programming; Is there a reason you can't save All the pertinent data from the original 1.5 OS, including the bootloader info and then recreate the whole thing to allow a rollback to 1.5 if needed? I mean, you found an error in the code of the first file and patched it yourself to create a new file that works, so why can't you create a copy of the current info and modify in the phone as necesary to do a rollback? Or would this require the "root" you're all on a quest for? Forgive my humble ignorance on the subject, and accept my deep admiration for what you've accomplished in such a short time.

FWIW, probably going to do the upgrade on my wife's Eris this weekend as we bought hers used, so no warranty to speak of, ergo, no warranty issues to worry about later. I may play chicken and wait a little longer to see if the long promised OTA comes along, so no concerns about warranty issues.

Tanks,

D Dave
[Droid Eris Android Development] esmith972:
Is it just me or does ADB no longer recognize the phone now that it has the 2.1 firmware?

EDIT: Hell, not even fastboot is seeing the phone now. Odd.

EDIT #2: Yep, there's a problem... I used USBDeview to remove and completely reinstall all of the drivers; no cash. Drivers may need to be updated first, or Verizon locked the **** down like usual.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
Is this true?

"People are saying that apps that need to access the internet are having issues loading the outside content."
[Droid Eris Android Development] jearl75:
Well, from the sound of the posts on these last few pages I might be glad I haven't made the leap yet. I'm reading of a lot of issues going on. Think this may be why we haven't seen an official update yet?

I may just end up waiting for the OTA or Root even
[Droid Eris Android Development] sanscritt:
Were you able to successfully program it via *228? I tried (getting only 2 bars of 3G) and it came back as unsuccessful.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
text messages craping out

Hey guys. I have seen some people claiming better signal but in my case normal the signal is fine but when i send a text message to someone the signal drops the second i click send the cell signal craps out and the message say it didn't get sent, and has a red x. I have to try to send it a few times then it goes. Anyone else got any signal drop issues? BTW I have done *228 to update roaming capabilities.

PS this only happens about %5 of the time so its workable. Just wondering if anyone else got it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Athaus:
bad signal

I just wanted to say that I recently programmed my phone via *228 and my signal strength went from 3-4 bar's down to a constant 2.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
I did a *228 successfully but still have intermittent signal issue with text messaging.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
It is with a way that gmail 2.1 handles images. It will not show in the email because they are not going to look that great so gmail has the images show in the picture album, I do get a little thumbnail though. I know people complain but they are going for "look" and "speed"on a mobile phone not the look of a 21" 16:9 you know what I mean. It is a way to speed things up by not D/L the image with the email, gmail opens emails faster this way with a compressed image.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
These are not so much issues but that 2.1 does things way differently than 1.5 that everyone is used to. So we are always going to have the people say that this or that isn't working correctly but in reality these are the changes that come with a new OS like em or not. Not to say their might not be issues but if only a few are having them than it points to the user (no offense) or the handset itself in that order.

If you think that root is going to bring a perfect Android think again. Cooked Roms are always way more bug prone than an original. If you don't like force close messages don't root your phone you will see plenty of them if you do.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Athaus:
works great

I have to say, besides minor thing's like some apps not working. Which is to be expected. And my loss in signal strength, which to be honest has made absolutely no difference in speed for me over 3g. Everything is working great, runs smooth and I am happy with my decision to update. Sorry to the rest who have been experiencing difficulties.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
Odd cause the embedded pics on 1.5 never did that. Nor do I see a little thumbnail or is it downloaded.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
This email thing is a known issue with Google. Go to the link and just star it, do not post as it does not help. You can see it is already a high priority so lets make it a higher of one an star it till its fixed. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2507
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
Again, kind of odd, since 1.5 had not problems.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Whatever, I am just happy to get email on my phone. I could care less about embedded images. All the important things I get are attachments, only stupid email spam(dumb jokes your family sends) uses embedded images that I have in my in box that has been around since 2004.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
Valid point for the most part.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
tbaker, are we in fact having two different conversations about the same thing?

In two different forums I mean. I know what you are saying but I think we are in two of the same forums......are you stalking me?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raikalo:
Hey guys. I'm new to the phone rooting/dev stuff, but I've hacked enough other electronic categories to get what's going on. Forgive me if any of the following has already been mentioned, I only read about 40 pages of the forum posts before I got distracted.

So I followed the tutorial, and installing 2.1 went without any problems. However I noticed a couple things.

1) I had a wallpaper on my Eris earlier (when running 1.5), and I used the app Wallpaper Set and Save to set it. Now (in 2.1) the wallpaper shows up much larger than it did before. Any way I can fix this?

2) Also....the default clock that the Eris has upon setup (the one with the weather app attached to the bottom) is unavailable. Where did it go?

3) And finally...the default widgets that allow you to turn Wifi, GPS, 3G, Airplane mode, and Bluetooth on/off are no longer available. I know I can download different ones from the Market, but I like the default ones pretty well. How can I get these back?

I'm guessing it has something to do with the update from 1.5 to 2.1, but it seems strange that they'd just remove some of the default stuff. Any help with these? Thank you guys so much for the amazing work on the Eris. :D *salutes*

EDIT: Punctuation and stuff.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
Maybe we should send that link to some of the big/major tech blogs to get the word out?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raikalo:
Oh also... I can't get the Eris to connect to my computer using the built-in SD card mounting. Any word on that?

EDIT: Redownloaded HTC sync, reinstalled the driver portion, and it fixed the problem.
[Droid Eris Android Development] digitaljeannie:
I, too, am having issues with the Gmail push app showing embedded images but it's not a deal breaker for me as the update seems to have fixed the push and I'm getting immediate notices of new mail now as opposed to whenver it felt like it in 1.5. Official versions or not, anytime you update anything you win some & lose some and so far, for me, the wins are far outweighing the losses.

If I need to view embedded images I'll just open that message in the "Mail" app (which I have set to just update headers once a day) and the older version of Google Voice is working perfectly in this update and I really don't see any loss of functionality from reverting so, yeah, so far I'm a happy camper despite having to find some workarounds on some things.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punkxdead:
Long time lurker here, since before we had an official Eris forum (Thread in CDMA Hero...) Got an Eris on launch day. Anyway, 2.1 update went well, I am just amazed at the speed! Everyone blamed the Eris's slower processor in 1.5, and I had even killed the HTC-Sense app in 1.5 on occasion for the marginal speed bump. For me, the overall increased responsiveness of the entire device under 2.1 is worth the possibility of having any bugs or glitches that might arise.
[Droid Eris Android Development] digitaljeannie:
I agree. I'm finding my Eris MUCH more responsive since the update. And again, with any update, whether official or not, to anything, you always lose as much as you gain (sometimes the losses are a good thing). Just the nature of the beast with technology in general. So as long as the gains outshine the losses, I can find a way to deal.

BT Connection

Since 2.1, BT connection to my Car Stereo (Pioneer DEH-9800BT) will only stay connected for seconds then is dropped.

reception suffering after 2.1

constantly at 2 bars now except in the courthouse yesterday had three bars. Never an issue with 1.5. I've seen a few posts now with the same issue. *228 didn't help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pjsockett:
Why is 2-3 bars an issue?

Running 2.1, issues syncing with Facebook

So I got 2.1 installed and everything has been great so far. However I can't seem to sync with Facebook. It takes my credentials just fine and I can run the app. But when I try to link a Contact with their Facebook profile (to see their updates and sync their profile pic) it doesn't work. I get to the "select a profile" screen and it doesn't list any of my friends, even when I search.

Is anybody else either having this issue or able to sync successfully? And help would be greatly appreciated!
[Droid Eris Android Development] redmanx9:
2.1 Leak and future updates

Does this affect my Eris for future updates and OTA upgrades? What if the OTA at the end of March fixes most of these issues. Are we still prompted to do the update? Or are we forever stuck with this ROM version?
[Droid Eris Android Development] pjsockett:
Mine sync no problem. There is even an option now to include facebook contacts in your contacts, or a shortcut folder that contains all facebook contacts that have a phone number listed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xokatwoman:
Gmail

My g-mail wont automatically sync, I have to hit refresh, which isn't a big deal; but I wasn't sure if anyone had a fix for this maybe? Thanks (: [P.S. look through and played with all Gmail sync settings]
[Droid Eris Android Development] digitaljeannie:
I had the opposite issue. Mine was doing that in 1.5 but the 2.1 update resolved it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xokatwoman:
In 1.5 I was able to set it to sync my Gmail every 15 minutes but I can't seem to find any settings for times except doing it or not haha and it seems the only times it'll do it is when I tell it to, it's odd
[Droid Eris Android Development] JTF2007:
I am having the same issue with my Gmail.

Another issue I am having is that Akron, OH keeps loading as my default location for the weather widget even after I've deleted it several times (I'm in Boston, MA). I've also reprogrammed my phone with the *228 to see if that would fix it...no such luck.
[Droid Eris Android Development] drew630:
does anyone know??
[Droid Eris Android Development] afoulke:
I had this issue along with the loss of the HTC widgets I did a reinstall of the Rom (I know it sux)and let my phone sync over night now all my facebook contacts are linked and I have the HTC widgets back. Hope that helps!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jearl75:
By "let it sync over night" do you mean you just left it alone? Or did you initiate some kind of sync?
[Droid Eris Android Development] afoulke:
There is normally always someone who can cook up a Rom to match the ota or add things like root to it. Also there could be another leak from China like this one lol. I know a few guys in this form.are working on root which normally allows you to downgrade which would then hypothetically allow you to get the ota. However be warned we have not successfully unlocked root. You should be fine but proceed at your own risk.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DHV13:
Noob here...

Just out of curiosity, is there any potential for this leaked update to have any vulnerabilities like the iPhone/Jailbreak phones did that got infected with that virus in Australia?

In that case I believe that the root password was left as default on the Jailbreak sets, which gave the virus an easy vector to install itself?
[Droid Eris Android Development] theGross1:
1st post

Has anyone got google earth to work? I downloaded and installed it but when I try to launch it nothing happens.
[Droid Eris Android Development] esmith972:
Beware guys, the current driver set from Google won't work with this update.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pjsockett:
The htc sync drivers work
[Droid Eris Android Development] afoulke:
I activated the Facebook sync in settings and then plugged it in and woke up sync wad done and all my Facebook contacts linked. Not sure if it wad the sync or just giving it time to load them all I have about 900 friends on Facebook so it might be die to the amount you have.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hannahxx:
same thing happened to me. i went to "photos" in the programs list, went to facebook, and scrolled down letting the friends load (when their dp showed up)

i guess it's a manual way to force it to sync with friends list?
[Droid Eris Android Development] afoulke:
Google Earth as of right now is not working with this version of the Rom it might be fixed in an update of the Rom of the Google earth app
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
For those looking for the individual apps to control wifi, bluetooth, gps, sync/ refresh, brightness there is a widget called "Power Control" that will take care of all of that.

The question about where the Android 1.5 Clock Weather widget, idk where that went and i am looking for it as well. maybe a dev could port that over from 1.5 to 2.1 for us?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sickbox:
Also the drivers from the RUU work fine.

Just open the RUU (no need to attempt to update anything tho)

Find temp files -- C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp

Find the newest created folder that looks like: {56777949-7808-447B-AE91-DDA0AB78CA08}

STEAL HTCDriver.exe - 9/30/2009

Remove any previous drivers. install. reboot.

Do happy dance. --DON'T FOR GET ABOUT USB DEBUGGING!

has anyone noticed how much better the camera is? Images are a little blurrier but the noise (lack of) is so much better. Even photos with the Vignette app are waaay better.
[Droid Eris Android Development] UncleDude:
I haven't run into any problems with the update except that I can't get it to vibrate for text messages. It vibrates for everything else, but I can't get the native text app or Handcent to vibrate. It's somewhat aggravating, but I'm not a big texter and it actually gives me an excuse for not texting back in a timely manner, so it's not really a bad thing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] {davros}:
has anyone been able to get the facebook contacts to sync....

when you try to manually add them i get no matches found. even on the ppl who's names are exactly like their facebook names.....

facebook phones folder widget is perfect tho.:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] jearl75:
Read above, found it on the last page about half way up
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Alright, not to be rude but the questions that are being asked are getting repetitive. There is a search button that uses Google to search this entire forum of you can use all kinds of advanced options. I know that most of you are new posters and might be old lurkers but please search before you ask. We now have over 50 pages of these questions asked and answered ion various forms. So again I am not trying to be rude but these questions clutter up the thread so that when another noob comes he can't find the answers he is looking for by scanning the thread. Please use search because you question has been asked ans answered. Thank you and enjoy 2.1.:D;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] mrduke03:
I have been reading this thread from the beginning. I upgraded my G/F's Eris yesterday. Evrything went well, but now she says she is getting lots of FC's whenever she trys to run apps (such as Pandora and ShootU) she is also convinced that it is significantly more laggy.

Basically at this point I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice or if it is even possible to downgrade back to 1.5?
[Droid Eris Android Development] {davros}:
I guess i shoulda said contact list that didn't work for those.

Sorry I tried to search but found nothing. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] UncleDude:
I had the same problem. I'm not really sure what I did, but I got it to work. When you go to the page that lets you connect to one of your facebook contacts, I assume you are only getting a partial list. That's what I had. I disconnected from Facebook and connected again and then when I went to that screen with the names I just let it sit there and the other names slowly trickled in.

Again, I'm not really sure what I did, but I got it to work
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
no downgrade, try reinstalling. it is not an official update so expect some problems.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sickbox:
Ouch yeah I probably would not have installed this on a girlfriend phone. This is only for people who are absolutely comfortable with their phone being broken.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mrduke03:
Yeah, she was in favor of the idea when she heard that she would have Flash and Turn by Turn. But now....

At least it still works.

Thats another thing I am suprised about. How come no one on here is really talking about the fact that this put Flash on their phone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Because we already had flash, this phone just isn't widely talked about. I could play Mafia Wars on it with 1.5.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
We don't know that yet. It might be a 2.1 rom, but HTC is making us do some hacking to get it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zanfur:
Well, someone might want to try this. I've gotten the unzip errors to go away, but I haven't tested it on an actual device. Anyone want to try? I've uploaded the (very tiny) binary patch. You'll need the bspatch utility (windows port here: http://sites.inka.de/tesla/f_others.html#bsdiff). Rename the one you downloaded to something else like PB00IMG-corrupt.zip, and run this:

bspatch PB00IMG-corrupt.zip PB00IMG.zip eris-eclair.bpatch

That will create a new PB00IMG.zip that is no longer corrupt. Someone test it on a phone and let me know if it works! :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] SellswordShev:
thanks zanfur, great work, I would have never though that could work :P
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
As tempting as that sounds...I have only 1 phone so I guess I will sit back and watch and wait. Great job on the fix though, I'm sure it won't be long until someone shows up to test it out. Fingers crossed
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
i can't download the .zip patch file. it keeps telling me to sign in, even though i'm already signed in.
[Droid Eris Android Development] t2noob:
So who is going to be the brave soul to try it out on theirs?

I'll wait for someone to either give us the thumbs up or tell us we shouldn't.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zanfur:
A couple people in the IRC channel are trying it now. I'll have them post their results. And hopefully a video.

Btw, the patch changes 32 bytes, starting at position 52989058.
[Droid Eris Android Development] powerpup118:
where is this? :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
A video would be sweet but all that I really need is for someone to say that it is a working version of 2.1 and I'm all over it! If it loads I'll deal will checking for bugs later :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
i cant figure out how to patch it
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
It worked I have 2.1 on my phone
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
Sweet!! Can you give us the details of exactly what you did? I just want to make sure I get it right.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
patch it than flash it!!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] powerpup118:
you totally sure it works?
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
100% sure and its SWEEET!!!!!!
