its probably just the process manager, uninstall it and you should be fine. Sense will show you the loading screen if you force close it so that is probably whats happening.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DayManGabe:
yea it was the process manager it really helped with battery tho i guess ill just have to find another app that works... thanks again for the quick responses
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
Advanced Task Manager is pretty good and ignores Sense.

edit: *Advanced Task Killer*
[Droid Eris Android Development] BigBoogerRed:
I find Task Cleaner Pro to be good
[Droid Eris Android Development] LudwigVB:
Hey guys, just wanted to thank all of you for the great info and advice you have throughout this lengthy thread (minus the repeat questions of course- "search" is your FRIEND....) it helped me with my upgrading and tweaking around the bugs... I hope you feel this isn't a meaningless space filler post, just wanted to express my gratitude :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gervin:
DO a phone program *228, and then again for option 2 (Roaming).

That fixed this issue for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gervin:
Not getting involved in this pissing match, however this is the dumbest thing I've read on this thread.

Verizon can probably tell when you take a dump, let alone what version of an OS you have on a phone that is designed for 2-way communication with their servers. The have the ability to track anything and everything you do with your phone.

The question is, do they really care? Probably not... "leaked" releases and watching threads like this is a LOT of how companies get their Q&A research. Microsoft leaks stuff all the time on purpose just to watch their geek following (and I say that lovingly, being one of those geeks) product test for them and post results on threads like this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] drew630:
Agreed - I have assumed from when this was leaked that HTC was just looking for some user feedback. Checkout Crackberry.com there are constant BB OS leaks over there.

youtube player app in eris 2.1 rom

Could someone please try out the YouTube player which comes wither new 2.1 firmware !?

I just noticed that the player on my 2.1 Eris does not work...

Thanks.

Bluetooth woes

I am having some bluetooth issues also.

After upgrading to 2.1 it won't stay connect to the hands free phone in my car and the sound cuts out when using a bluetooth headphones. These issues were not present in 1.5

Is any one else having bluetooth issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
+1 On the bluetooth but for me the problem is not that it doesn't stay connected but that it keeps connecting. I use bluetooth for music play in the car but disable the phone function under bluetooth options as I prefer my headset to the head unit mic in the car (poor mic sound). Under 1.5 the device remembered these settings and would only connect to the JVC for music playback but with 2.1 it reconnects both as soon as I power up the head unit and I have to go into the phones settings and disable the phone for the JVC device so my moto earpiece will work when calls come in.
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
Youtube app works fine for me. I have noticed that the HTC flash player is alot slower than it was on 1.5. Youtube mobile videos are jerkier now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rsempsey:
I am having the same exact problem, only stays connected for seconds. Worked fine on 1.5 as well. I noticed on my Pioneer DEH-9800BT that it connects as BT Audio fine, but as the Phone it disconnects. I tried unchecking the BT Audio profile, but it didn't help.

I also noticed that as BT Audio my Head Unit recognizes the name of the device, but as the phone it says "Name Not Found" as the device name.

Again this wasn't an issue in 1.5.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Anyone check to see if there is a key loggers or back door in this that can steal our user names and passwords?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcochran1977:
Go Back to 1.5 from 2.1?

Is it possible? I really would like directions if possible, as I need to selll my Eris and Google Maps isn't working with the 2.1 leak :-(
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
If you know of a way to modify a release-keys signed rom, and get your phone to still flash that image, please let me know. Otherwise, no key-loggers or back doors :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Just checking ;) the OP joined the day of the post and only had the 1 post. Seemed odd.. but I guess creating a new account helps hide your identity too to keep from getting fired from HTC
[Droid Eris Android Development] lostsync:
Since updating to 2.1, the actual phone part of Android is pretty horrible in terms of performance. It wasn't great with 1.5 but now it is sometimes so bad that when I try to answer a call, there is so much lag that the call goes to voice mail by the time the phone catches up with my intentions. Placing calls is just as bad sometimes. I'm certain I've waited over a minute from clicking to call a contact before the actual call is placed by the phone.

This is my first Android phone and I'm not really sure if this is a problem that is consistent with the platform at large or just this device, but I do know that while 1.5 was sometimes a little obnoxious about this, 2.1 is abhorrent. Is there anything I can do to improve performance of the phone app?

My guess is that the phone is for some reason taking it's dear sweet time to drop from 3G to 1x for whatever reason, and this idea is supported somewhat by the problems some other users are having with their phone's radios dropping 3G for 1x intermittently, associated battery drainage, etc (a problem I have, too). It's at least indicative of some kind of issue with the radio which is caused by the software.
[Droid Eris Android Development] UnseenThings:
I would like to know how to roll back to the original 1.5

I'm having problems on my 2.1 Eris now

- static phone calls (even in excellent areas/signal)

- sluggish in many ways

- xt9 probems (forced close, all caps out of the blue, etc)

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] gzu36c:
Still in the works...
[Droid Eris Android Development] iloveandroid:
UHHGGG I regret updating
[Droid Eris Android Development] wamsille:
In some ways, I wish I had waited for the official 2.1 release. However, there were a great many perks to upgrading. The pro's outweigh the cons.
[Droid Eris Android Development] afoulke:
You all were warned about upgrading to a Chinese Leak 2.1 Rom LOL :D If you are having issues try reflashing your phone it worked for me and fixed a bunch of issues. If it doesnt work try downloading it from somewhere else.
[Droid Eris Android Development] morphius2036:
Should we have a thread open for the few devs working on the 2.1 leaked reversal process this way we have an offical thread and we won't clog up others with questions. Sure I know the Goldcard and this one is fine but Goldcard is a method and this one is 92 pages in.
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
sound bug

Has anyone pinpointed the sound bug in the 2.1 leak? I am experiencing the dreaded no sound *feature* now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] denonlake:
2.1 Leak Issues so far

Updated to leaked 2.1 yesterday. Having the following issues.... Any help from someone who has found a cure would be great!

[*]Bluetooth works fine for audio, wont connect to phone, just says Use for phone audio.

[*]Activesync actually works 100% unlike 1.5!! however i cant disable the need to enter a password to unlock phone due to exchange policy, a work around would be nice!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] wamsille:
Re-flashing the phone isn't going to necessarily fix the issues many have encountered. Instead of just implying people should get the ROM from another source, why don't you direct them to another source. It would be way more helpful and a lot less condescending.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DarthMowzy:
The leaked rom is the same regardless of the source you get it from.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
And, the "patched" version is perfectly good too. It's not broken and using it won't give you issues that others don't see.
[Droid Eris Android Development] afoulke:
Sure here is a mirror of the rom I used:

http://www.androidevolve.com/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=2&task=view.download&cid=488

Yes it doesn't mean it will fix the issues however I had success reflashing and similar issues being fixed, so did others if you search the thread. The reason I didn't provide a link is because they are numerous in this thread and there might be someone who downloaded from that source not trying to be condescending just giving advice.

Also about the Rom being the same no matter the source you are half way correct, yes it will be the same file however depending on the reliability of the server and if the download is paused, or randomly stopped during the process can cause parts of the file to be corrupt which could be the source of these issues. Also if you download the original file that was posted and not patched by the Devs you will have a rom that is not fuctionable at all so yes its the same thing but no the rom has been patched by the devs.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DarthMowzy:
But if the file is corrupt or different in any way then HTC's digital signiture will fail and you wont be able to flash with that rom at all.
[Droid Eris Android Development] afoulke:
Not really sure how to explain it but from my account and other peoples accounts on XDA downloading it from a different source or reinstalling it seems to fix alot of the problems. I experienced the speaker phone thing, missing all my widgets, facebook problem etc. reinstalled the rom from a different source once and it all worked, something had to be corrupt but it must of been minor to allow the sigs to work or something went wrong on the install. Just giving my help and opinion on the matter of how it works to how I understand it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
I've done three installs total (two reinstalls)... and each time the system was very smooth and seemingly bug free at first. The bugs seem to creep their way in over time maybe because of more and more apps being loaded into the phone, i dunno. I have tried ROMs from different sources and they all seem to behave the same way on my set.

My hope is that when (or if) Verizon releases an OTA, the leaked 2.1 can be updated (or a dev can get us back to 1.5 Official ROM).
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
That's EXACTLY right. There is no fear of a "corrupt" downloaded ROM causing problems on a phone. It simply WILL NOT INSTALL. It will fail when you try and boot from it 'cause it will not pass the check that the bootloader does.
[Droid Eris Android Development] plavalle:
I am Surprised

a lot of very smart people here, but why I ask, do you believe that someone in China is willing to "give" you a free version of the droid 2.0 or 2.1 OS? Oh, because he said he works for HTC ... oh then that works for me :-(.

I would suspect there is something not right in the OS, maybe a tracker of sorts. Given all the bad publicity with china hacking the US computer systems you have to wonder ....

...and yet, RiverRunner is not to be found again on the thread ...

be smart folks, use protection ....
[Droid Eris Android Development] MoeDee:
Ok I have to agree.

Here is what I experienced

I upgraded to 2.1 and did not format the SD card. So it took all kind of values from 1.5

Then I had a selection of issues described here in the forum.

Then I reformatted the SD card.

On top of that I pretty much tinkered with all options I could find and I have not noticed any bigger issues as with 1.5

Probably some more close errors.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lifyre:
I upgraded a week ago and have had very minor issues. Originally I had a force reboot cycle going but a reload took care of it and it hasn't returned since the first day.

Once I did the charge in airplane mode trick the phone has had generally better battery life and is much more responsive. Sure there are a few very minor hiccups but those are mostly cause it's an unofficial image.

I'm not missing root, it would be nice but not required in the slightest to have a fun, functional, and effective phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wamsille:
Gosh, and that was YOUR first post.

Great, just start another round of paranoia why don't you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raikalo:
Considering that firmware updates are free anyway, that pretty much every American company has a Chinese branch, that the 2.1 firmware ACTUALLY WORKS, and that the worst problems I've had relate to facebook syncing....

I'm pretty sure (99.9999999999999999999%) that the firmware is legit. Does the guy work for HTC? Eh. Might, might not. Who cares. Whoever it is, wherever they are, did the Eris community a great service by getting a copy, and instead of delving through his personal life and motives, I'd just like to thank him for the firmware. And of course, I have to thank the Eris Devs just as much for the work they've done thus far and will more than likely continue to do.
[Droid Eris Android Development] plavalle:
Yes, first post ... and as anxious as anyone else to get the 2.1, but considering my phone is my link to the world, I'll wait for the legit version to be released.

As a software developer I know what could be hiding in unscrupulous software, and when someone says "here you go, it's not even out yet, but go ahead and install it", you have to question it. Anyone would be a fool not to question it.

You don't have to be paranoid to question common sense :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] sourcesociety:
Well put. Among the more intelligent posts in this thread.
[Droid Eris Android Development] andarwalker:
I upgraded to 2.1 on Wednesday night following the tutorial on thekrtek.net.

Having a few issues:

- Everyone I call says they can hear their voice echoing.

- Calls are extremely laggy coming in. It rings for ~5 seconds before I can even slide to answer.

- Calls are laggy going out. I can press a contact and it takes awhile to start the call.

- General lags switching from Apps and the touch input catching up.

- I had to pull the battery today in class because music randomly unpaused and my volume wouldn't turn down.

If anyone knows how to solve any of these LMK, otherwise I figured I'd share for development's sake.

Oh and is the ROM from "grense.no/android/android.2.1.droid.eris/PB00IMG.zip" able to be rooted? I am unsure where root/2.1 stands and don't have time to read through all the threads.

Thanks guys.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pharaohmd:
Question on ROM Versions

So excuse the newbie question but I've searched here and in Google but the information is a bit confused with all of the different posts talking about hacked/rooted/original/etc releases of the ROM.

I downloaded a PB00IMG zip file based on posts referrring to it being the 2.1 rooted update last night and applied it to my phone. I tried to check multiple locations before downloading and the file date and CRC seem to match the rooted ROM but since they are all named the same d**m thing on the web it's, well, interesting, BUT on attempt to use root tools I receive failure messages which vary based on the type of tool.

The Software Information screen shows the following...

Firmware versions - 2.1

Baseband version - 2.41.04.02.02

Kernel Version - 2.6.29.5cf233c2 htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Build number - 2.26.605.2 CL134869 release-keys

Software number - 2.26.605.2

Browser version - Webkit 3.1

PRI Version - 51766

ERI Version 5

Did I download the wrong ROM??!!?

If so eh...I hope not but have faith that eventually someone will develop a "roll-back" ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
As far as the echoing goes... found the "cause and solution" in another thread. Someone posted that the 2.1 updated boosted the speaker volume ability which was causing the caller to actually hear themselves through your mic. I tried lowering the volume on my earpiece to test this out and it works great. BTW it should not occur with a bluetooth attached as well. We almost swapped out my wifes phone trying to cure this before we figured out it was mine.

I have not had lag problems with the update. As a matter of fact it has been much quicker and more responsive on the dialer. One thing I do is clear my call history though. I also use home switcher and jump back and forth between home and sense from time to time depending on which suits my mood. I have found that home seems to be a bit more responsive than sense. I also make sure to use the hard keys to call/end my calls since there seems to be no lag with them vs the soft keys.

To speed things up generally, I have in the past gone to settings/applications/manager, pressed menu/sort by size and emptied the cache for the hogs like internet, maps, etc. This helps as well. Also remember to restart every few days also. Pain to log back in kinda but does a lot of cache maint. this way I believe.

As for the music player, if it is the stock player you are talking about, you need to make sure to back out to home after pausing the music, otherwise it will sit on your lock screen and is too easy to accidentally push play in a pocket.

Finally, remember to back out of apps as much as possible vs hitting home. Im sure you know this but I have to be reminded from time to time myself.

Hope you get some resolution to these issues and keep in mind official 2.1 is coming soon. Maybe a lot of this will clear up then.;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ItsDon:
Did you ever get this resolved? I am having the exact same problem with my Pioneer deck - coincidence? Could it be Pioneer just doesn't like 2.1?
[Droid Eris Android Development] toboredtosleep:
Leaked to Official Upgrade

Might sound like a stupid question, but a valid concern. If I installed the leaked 2.1 rom will I be able to update it with the new official 2.1 upgrade?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sanderjm:
Please, for the love of everything holy and sacred, use the search feature before asking a question!! This question has been asked and answered.
[Droid Eris Android Development] toboredtosleep:
I have searched but to no avail. A better answer to my question is to put the link to the thread and say there you go. These forums get flooded with crap about will this brick my phone or how to upgrade its hard to sort through all that. Hell a simple yes or no would have sufficed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raziken:
Simplest Answer: As long as the revision of the 2.1 Official OTA is higher than the Leak or Root, You WILL GET THE OTA. However, we cannot be sure of the effects of going from Root/Leak to OTA, as some files may have gone through major revisions which may slowdown, break, or even brick the framework. The likeliness of this happening IMHO is fairly low, but it could happen, so the suggestion of "Use at own risk" applies here.
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
ok if the download in this thread is the update.zip that will get peoples phones stuck without root. i think it needs to be stated in bold and the thread title. i mean i just seen today someone flashed this thinking rthey would gain root and ended up finding out they screwed their self. :( not good. if this build is really desired to be used build an update.zip of it and flash it via recovery. a rom that causes people to be stuck without root is a bad thing. kinda useless at this point. when u have another build that u can flash that will give u root.

i just dont wanna see anymore bad episodes of people flashing this rom
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
life sucks, RTFM
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raziken:
Agreed, people have to do their research. That and with having a sticky at the top of the forum now that shows you how to do all of this, really, no reason for us to have to edit things to be idiot proof. The only way someone will learn is by making mistakes and not doing them again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
this rom sux also it basically gets peoples devices stuck in a state they dont need to be.

THE LINKS AND OR THREAD NEEDS TO BE REMOVED.

this is for the sake of others. i dont like to see people get hurt. ill build the update.zip that can be flashed via recovery if its to much work for someone else. but yeah no since in people flashing this damn build anymore.
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
bull****....what is the purpose of this rom? its useless and causes unwanted things to happen to ur device. i agree that some should read the reads. but i also think this thread is useless
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raziken:
development purposes. someone may not want root. Plenty of viable reasons why this should remain. Not everyone wants root, many aim for 2.1, just because its 2.1.
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
the build has issues and if someone doesnt want root then they prolly wanna wait for the verizon update. this rom is flawed and for the most part noone can tell if once verizon releases that those who flashed this rom will be able to upgrade. this rom iis the reason people dont wanna root. if someone wants to use this for dev purposes. thts fine. make a update.zip that can be flashed from recovry. or hell... how bout just put in the title or first post. "THIS ROM WILL CAUSE U TO BE STUCK WITHOUT ROOT". instead of assuming someones gonna read the whole thread to see that all who flashed this are screwed.

also i understand not all people want root. my wife owns an Eris and she does not want root. her reasons are clear. she doesnt wanna flash beta roms and roms with issues. that being said she wouldnt wanna flash this one for sure. this rom is only useful to thoughs who wanna develop it and use it as a base. not those who wanna flash it and get stuck not being able to have anything but this on their phone. im just trying to look out for the one who trust all us devs. there is nothing in the first post that says flashing this will possibly leave u screwed with this build forever on ur phone. i think if everyone really loves this thread or the build they should make it clear of the risk involved in flashing it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sickbox:
Makes sense to me but I think we should just close this thread so it drops to the bottom and people stop posting at least. Then if anyone needs the ROM or info form the thread they can just search for it later on. A post title addition saying something like "2.1 Leak - NO ROOT ACCESS NO DOWNGRADE" wouldn't hurt either.

I'm guessing RiverRunner wont be coming back to edit his post so maybe a mod could do it? :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
yeah thats what im saying. just something needs to be done. i wrote the mods and hope they fix this thread somehow
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
uh, to have 2.1 on a eris, right? 1.5 had its fair share of bugs and quirks, too. I would install this again knowing what I already know. programmers, hackers and general purpose geeks are pretty used to this kind of stuff. If you can't run with the big dogs...
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Did you just make that up ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] andarwalker:
So this worked perfectly thanks for the tip...a little while after I fixed it I put a pressure crack in my screen while working on a car. I now have a new 1.5 Eris. Should I just root the 1.5 and wait for the 2.1 OTA?
