Didn't notice til you mentioned it, but not seeing notifications here either ... not that I'm upset either ! I would try turning notifications off (open the the app, menu, settings, and turn them off), exit the app, then reopen it and turn them on again. Can't hurt...
[Droid Eris Android Development] wamsille:
OK, my phone doesn't lose my login credentials upon reboot now. Battery life and signal strength seem fine. Haven't had issues with call quality or audio dropping out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] izzaeroth:
Are you saying that you cannot hear the other person when you are on a call?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jearl75:
That's the bug I am referring to
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
Does anyone still have their caller id photo still show up blurry in 2.1?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dangraef:
I think the blurry photos have to do with the built-in facebook app... I use the people widget and anyone that is linked with face book comes up blurry in the widget until I let it sit there for a few a refresh...
[Droid Eris Android Development] afoulke:
I am having the same problem with the pictures must be some kind of sizing issue. Also I have noticed it sometimes wont load the name of the person from my contacts or the photo until the last ring anyone else experiencing this or have a fix?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jamest77:
Eris 2.1 not a good thing....

I am having all the known issues plus my phone would not receive txt or calls the other night. Unfortunately, I was out with a buddy and my girlfriend was at home frantic. Needless to say she was not in the best of moods when I got home. For now until a good ROM or root comes out I had to put my other cricket phone back on my account to get things right again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] izzaeroth:
Interesting, I would suggest reloading the image again and see if that fixes it for ya. It is possible it coulda been a bad install.
[Droid Eris Android Development] izzaeroth:
Try reloading the image again and see if that fixes it. If not, you could be experiencing some type of VLR issue which would require you to call your provider and have them clear it for you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
So i have found one solution thanks to a thread over at another site....

Seems as if there is some sort of bug with with Cell standby that causes the phone to lose signal which in turns just kills the battery. To verify that your set has the problem, check the Cell standby info in the Battery Use info. If the Time without a signal is higher than 0% (50% seems to be the norm) than you have a problem.

One solution, at the moment, is to follow these steps:

1. Plug in phone charger

2. Put phone in Airplane mode

3. Put phone to sleep for a minute

4. Turn off airplane mode

5. Unplug phone

I can confirm that this works and my Time without a signal is at 0% for over 9 hours now. The battery life is MUCH better and the phone didn't die on me last night while i was sleeping.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wamsille:
Does anyone else notice on the Facebook app that they are unable to read the newsfeed? On my phone it just points back to my profile.

The other issue I've noticed is while I have HTC widgets, I have the option to download more. When I try to do this, it doesn't work. Has the feature not yet been implemented?
[Droid Eris Android Development] afoulke:
You should try reloading the rom that seems to fix most peoples problems, although txt and call outage is a new one for this thread.
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
I did a factory reset and reinstalled... battery reporting problem still there but I'm not sure if this is really the issue with the battery dying. Just seems like bad reporting because the Time on is basically double the Up time which would explain the 50% number. Im also getting inconsistent battery readings on restart. I restarted once when the battery was at 80% and it said 100% after the restart so it looks as if there is something screwey with the power monitoring.

Google sign in problem still there after reset and reinstall. Lame.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BlazinDANDAMAN:
First Post

Ok, know sure what I'm missing. But, I have installed the 2.1 leak and have experienced NO Problems whatsoever. No Live Wallpaper, and no Friend Stream, but all works well. Plus, all the Apps I paid for, I was able to re-download with no probs.

Thanks to all that made this possible...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jearl75:
Really? WOW! Where did you download the ROM from?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mbarry55:
Ok I didn't see this in any of the pages...

my only issue is that if my screen is off, and I receive a call, I get no sound.The screen turns on and shows the call, but no sound.

if my screen is already on, my ringtone works fine.

Anyone else experience this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] joebob213:
Hi guys,

New here (obviously). I downloaded and installed this last week and I've got a few issues. I can't send MMS messages, at all. The little swirly thing just keeps spinning next to the message in handcent and about an hour later it will say "message not sent". I have confirmed with my friends that the messages are not sending. When I send SMS's about 1/4 of the time the phone gives me the "message not sent" error message but... the message really does send! I realized this when resending people told me, "Dude, I got that 3 times!".

Yesterday I reinstalled the ROM, no better. I didn't have any problems at all with 1.5. Also, it seems my signal strength is never as strong as it was before installing the rom. I get 2-3 bars max at home when I used to get 4!
[Droid Eris Android Development] izzaeroth:
If the phone is just sitting there in sleep mode and someone calls, do you hear an initial sound at all?? If you do, but it stops when you pick it up, it could be you have the quiet thing turned on where it silences the ring after it is picked up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] izzaeroth:
I would try re-downloading the image and trying to re-install again. Since the issue still happens after reloading it, there may have been a problem with the initial download of the image.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jfont25:
I was getting that. Problem seems to be with Handcent. Have not seen the problem with the default Message app or Chomp SMS.
[Droid Eris Android Development] scottdot2008:
The fact that it installs proves that he has the exact same image as the rest of us. You are doing nothing but wasting his time by providing this kind of response. My advice would be for him to read the countless other posts regarding these issues and then figuring out what works for him. There are *anecdotal* solutions for lots of these problems, please use things such as the search function and just reading through things and not wasting time/space.

In regards his issue specifically:

I believe you may want to try updating WITH VERIZON (IE: *228) your phone first. Then going through and figuring out if that worked. Next step would be to check if you can receive MMS messages. From there, depending on your results, there are different solutions that I'm not going to spend time reiterating, because the answers are out there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sanscritt:
I apologize if I am out of line. I have not posted alot, but I have been on this forum for a long time and have benefitted greatly from all the wonderful people here.

Whenever I look at upgrading to anything, changing/flashing roms etc I research everything. What I don't understand is the continuing request for step by step instructions on how to do something.

Do what everyone else does and read the thread, do your research. There is no quick fix, if you have been following the thread the instructions are there. if you are too lazy to read all the threads too bad.

Again I apologize. I read every thread before I update to anything and then everything after. I have had the 8525, 8925, htc touch pro 2, samsung i700 and now the droid and whenever I want to do anything I read anything available first.

If you come in and ask for step by step instructions on page 73 of a thread you have not taken the time to research and probably shouldn't be upgrading your device.

I don't usually rant and probably won't again, but it gets irritating reading these requests this far into a discussion.
[Droid Eris Android Development] joebob213:
I read all 80something pages of this thread and nobody mentioned it. I did find another thread last night after I made my post that lead me to believe it may be handcent causing the problem so Installed Chomp. I don't know if it fixed it or not, it was late last night so I haven't really used it. I'm not an idiot and I searched the best I could. I have also done *228 option 1 and 2. Believe me, I exhausted all resources before asking my question.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jlbgt2005:
I've also had no problems beside the google login issue and even that doesn't happen every time. I downloaded it from thekrtek site. You can find the link at the beginning of the thread or google it. It seems a lot of the problems are program related or just people not playing with the settings. I've found using a task killer is very very useful to the crashes/minor issues on the Eris at least. There's probably several hardware related incidents occuring but those should be fixed by a reinstall from a fresh ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wamsille:
Pardon me if this has been delved into ad nauseam, but for some reason I'm not able to review the notes I have entered for contacts. In 1.5 I could just click on view notes and it would work. Am I missing something?

Why it bothers me:

The other day I was logging into a website I had not been too in 6 months. I used a throwaway email to register and forgot my password. I did have it in my Google Contacts under a generic contact, but when I went to view the note directly it wouldn't let me. The workaround, it seemed, was to act like I was going to edit the contact first.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nemish13:
1. I can confirm the steps to fix the battery seem to work

2. Reset and reinstalling wouldn't accomplish the same as the fix. Its something buggy when the ROM is installed. Hence this work around seems to fix it

3. I've had the battery die on the Eris (1.5) and powered it up saying i still had battery left. Restarting tries to recalculate the battery and most of the time does show a higher number but within 10 minutes that number goes back down. It's pretty much a short burst, nothing sustainable.

4. After installing the leak and before this recommendation I did notice the battery needed to be drained and fully charged to help with the recalibration.

5. After a reset, *228 (option 1 or 2) you will get the Google sign-in issue. If I reboot the phone any other way (power off and back on) it works fine. I've only experienced this issue when resetting the phone or updating phone through *228. Since this is another bug in the ROM it wouldn't be fixed no matter how many times you reinstall. With that logic (on the 101th install of the ROM the bug goes away... let me know how it works out)
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
Well, after playing with the phone for a few days it really does appear that the airplane mode trick either improves battery life or fixes some sort of power monitoring bug. If i restart and don't do the trick, I can literally watch the battery fall 10% every 45 minutes, even when its sleeping. With the trick, the battery seems to drain at 1.5 speed or better and doesn't drain hardly at all when in sleep mode.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mbarry55:
No, it isn't on. No initial sound whatsoever.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ampinc:
this did not work it kept telling me bad file
[Droid Eris Android Development] ampinc:
Whoa.... hold on there for a second!

Using the RUU to rollback has never worked, even from 1.17.605.1 -> 1.16.605.1; on the other hand, using the exact same method that you used to get the 2.1 leak onto the phone might work - you'll have to give it a try. (The bootloader has changed, whereas it was identical in the 16 and 17 RUUs)

Basically, what you do is to start the RUU updater and let it unpack all its files, but don't try to actually push the update to the phone (it will fail). Then you poke around and find the file "rom.zip" inside the (temporary) folders area that the RUU update creates. Rename that to PB00IMG.ZIP and put it on the root folder of the SD card. You have to find the "rom.zip" file and get a copy of it before you exit the RUU program because that program nukes all it's temporary files when it closes

The locations to look for the temporary files are mentioned in jmanley69's December 11th post

http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=193

(underneath C:\Documents and Settings\username\ in one of the Temp subfolders)

Edit: steps 11-14 of jmanley69's post do not apply in this case - you want to use the unmolested "rom.zip" file, but renamed to PB00IMG.ZIP. (Those instructions were his suggestions prior to the devs finding out that the whole zip archive was signed).

Could you give this a shot and report back? - I haven't tried it yet (with the 2.1 leak - it does work for rolling backwards from 1.17.605.1 -> 1.16.605.1, but as I mentioned the bootloaders were the same between those two OTAs).

does not work i tried its shows bad file or missing
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Just to be sure, let me be explicit:

1) I am not aware of this method being successful by ANYONE attempting to uninstall the "2.1-leak" rom.

2) For people having phones that have never had "2.1-leak" on them, and currently have the 1.17.605.1 rev of Cupcake, there are two different cases:

- 2.A) 1.17.605.1 was installed onto the phone by OTA updates only

- 2.B) 1.17.605.1 was installed on the phone using the MR2/RUU (pc-based) installation method, or by using the HBOOT install with the "rom.zip" file from the MR2.

It is my current belief that the rollback to 1.16.605.1 is ONLY POSSIBLE IF YOU HAVE NEVER USED THE MR2 PC-BASED UPDATE OR "rom.zip" FILE FROM THAT MR2/RUU. (That is, you only used OTA updates to go from "16" to "17". Sorry for shouting). I performed the rollback multiple times, but at some point in time, it stopped working on my phone; I believe that is due to me having used the MR2 "rom.zip" -> PB00IMG.ZIP HBOOT method at some point, rather than using the OTA to go from 1.16.605.1 to 1.17.605.1.

In the case "2.B" described above, you will not see an error message similar to "bad file or missing"; what you should see is successful unpacking of the PB00IMG.ZIP file, followed by an error message which states "Main version is older!". This suggests to me that "ampinc" is doing something wrong, or has a corrupted .zip file.

Note that the third through fifth letter in "PB00IMG.ZIP" are pronounced phonetically Zero-Zero-Eye (not Oh-Oh-One or Oh-Oh-Eye).

You can not rezip the contents of the file or modify it in any way, other than renaming it; the md5sum signature of the "rom.zip" file from the MR1 update (renamed to "PB00IMG.ZIP") should be "db04a87fb1084744a1c5d08148ecb631".

The fact that you are getting an odd error message suggests you are doing something wrong getting the file into the root folder of your SD card. Having said that, unless your phone's history matches the scenario described above in "2.A)", you still will not be able to roll back even after correcting whatever mistake you made.

[Droid Eris Android Development] DarthMowzy:
My time without a signal was 70%. I guess I have a problem. Im going to give this trick a shot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] izzaeroth:
He may have the same image, but that does not mean there may have been an issue with the download. Thats the same as if we both have the same copy of Windows and install it, and it installs fine. But then you are having a problem with a particular function and re-installing gives the same issue. MAYBE THE COPY WAS BAD AFTERALL??? PS...*228 will only update the PRL.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pjsockett:
I received both mr1 and mr2 OTA and I was able to roll back to mr1 using the ruu so it is possible.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
bftb0,

I"ve put in a few hours trying to downgrade. Its not possible because of the new bootloader. If you can find a way to flash hboot (from the rom.zip) without everything else, then apply the downgrade, I'm assuming it will work. I just do not know of a way to flash the hboot file.
[Droid Eris Android Development] scottdot2008:
If changing the file and installing it were as simple as downloading it "wrong" then we would have root by now. The fact of the matter is that it checks the contents, so no, its not at all like installing windows.

It is not uncommon in the cell phone industry for phones to act strange when they think they are roaming against policy. Updating the PRL could change that IE: give it possible permissions.

The copy would not install if it was bad. Reinstalling it will not do anything but reset settings.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ashertheplague:
Whenever i am talking to someone on the phone and i get a text message it vibrates real loud in my ear.. is there a way to make it not vibrate
[Droid Eris Android Development] asmith1106:
Yea I had that same issue... Everyone on the other end of the line hears it too... thought I got hit by a car!

Anyone know how to fix this? or is this another bug that will most likely be smoothed out with the "real" OTA?

Don't know if its been reported here yet... but NKT (the guy who first posted 2.1 pics back in February) reported down at AndroidForums that everyone who flashed 2.1 WILL get the OTA, which includes a radio fix (Reception issue will be resolved! YAY!)
[Droid Eris Android Development] AlxPrud:

I am not so good in English, i am trying to find the page on Verizon`s site where should be official ROMs. Can you give me a sharp link (where next ROM will be appear). :o

[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Everything works great for me. The only thing I can't get to work is the "Get more HTC Widgets" option.
[Droid Eris Android Development] paybackdaman:
I can say that the leak 2.1 is way faster than the previous OTA. I really do enjoy the animations for the weather/clock widget from HTC. Lots of eye candy, and the ability to show off to your envious co-workers still using the older build, and wondering how the heck you got the update before them. Priceless.

Problems:

I, too, have run into the constant re-signing in of google accounts. Also, Opengl is non-existent on this build. Most 3D games, and appications that require opengl will not run and usually force close. [Labyrinth for example, and google earth (but I have been told the processor may, also, be an issue in this) do not work in a 3D enviornment] . Perhaps will be fixed in the real OTA? MMS has, also, been an issue. Going into settings of the default SMS client from HTC you will notice (at least for me) that under MMS proxy it says "(not set)" and MMS port "(not set)". So I am unable to send messages, or edit to proper proxies.

Other than the previous problems, everything has worked fantastically. Not regretting the switch, I knew the risk, and I do like the phone better now that I have upgraded. Can't wait for a less buggy OTA build of 2.1 though. Got my fingers crossed for a quick release.

Thanks to those who made this possible.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dtl949:
Can someone help me? I've read all the posts and have done all of the steps, but after the phone is done checking the file it goes to a screen that just has the HBOOT highlighted and these two lines that follow...

<SEND> FastBoot Mode

<VOL UP> Recovery

Am I possibly doing something wrong? Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
Aren't you supposed to hit the trackball at this particular juncture?
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Alright, quick question here. If I update to the 2.1 leak will I still receive ota updates? Will I be able to update to the ota verizon 2.1? Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
A couple of things. First if you searched the forums you would see that you can still get the ota updates.

Second a friend of mine who sells mobile phones for multiple carriers says that we should be getting a legit copy of 2.1 within a week. Nothing official but he has heard lots of chatter from verizon on that time frame for a release.

Also from the same source he said that the nexus one should be arriving in verizon stores on the 23 of march. That is from sources in verizon and google.
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
a couple of things....

if you searched *any* forum on this particular subject, you would find that there are many so called verizon sources and they've all pretty much been full of sh*!.

second, where have you read that it is confirmed that OTA will be available to phones upgraded with the leak? Other than the aforementioned *sources*, of course.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
First, my source is someone who got a Google Nexus One handed to him by Eric Schmit.

Second, if you read any of the 89 pages of this thread you would have realized that many of our devs working on root have mentioned that you would be able to update your phones via OTA.

Third, if you have ever rooted a phone before you would know that you are still able to get OTA even though they have root, and still preserve root.

Fourth, if the beta testers have 2.1 beta, then why would they not be able to get OTA updates with their phone. wouldnt it make it for of a PITA to update their phone just because they have a beta version? therefore they would have OTA capability on their phones.

Fifth, im pretty sure that verizon has no way of knowing who has a legit 2.1 beta and who has a 2.1 leak so therefore they would have no way of stopping us from updating our phones to the legit 2.1 final.

Sixth, with all that said, the conclusion is that you would be able to get OTA updates. So, you would get the final update as long as two other points are met. 1. the OTA update verizon and htc send us must be different that the 2.1 leak beta that we have. 2. the update build version must be newer than the update build version of the 2.1 leak beta.

feel free to clarify any points that i may be off on.
[Droid Eris Android Development] larsdennert:
Most sources don't believe the phone will be available in vzw stores. It will only be available from google. Of course it says that the N1 will have Sense, which it won't.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
and verizon fixes the leaked image specs....

[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
I personally don't factor in conjecture to my formulas.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SellswordShev:
If you haven't already, DO NOT flash to this ROM (from 1.5) if you want to be able to root your device soon. We have something cooking, will give details when ready.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DayManGabe:
if i so happen to already flash 2.1. to my eris how would i go about putting 1.5 back on my phone
[Droid Eris Android Development] SellswordShev:
Sadly we don't have a way to do that yet (as far as I know), but its being worked on by several devs. So the answer is wait an see, and meanwhile you can enjoy the 2.1 :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] DayManGabe:
thanks i am enjoying it the only issue im having is sense keeps restarting everytime i hit the home key or back out of an app and its really irritating i looking for a solution i dont know if its 2.1 or the process manager app i just installed a couple days ago ive tried ignoring everything that has to do with sense but everytime i hit killall it still resets would you recommend uninstalling the app or is there something i should be ignoring that im not
