2.1 Internal Memory Cont.

*********************************************************

Do you think it has something to do with either my cache, amount of applications I've downloaded, and/ or the type of battery I have? I cleared my cache, deleted the history in my browser, i've only used up about 1G of SD memory from my applications, music, contacts, etc... I put my phone on airplane mode aswell. Should I buy a new battery, specifically from ebay or another website where they sell better batteries? I saw a 1500 mAh battery for sale for about $56, should I buy that and would it help? Thank you for your time again...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Not that has been reported. Try reinstalling the leaked rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
I would also advise you to reinstall the leaked 2.1. I posted a good link about 12 or so pages back 60ish +.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Wired has some sick pictures that can be used as backgrounds here.

[Droid Eris Android Development] jearl75:
With as many bugs as have been reported here and on other forums (besides the obvious apps that won't work with 2.1 yet), do you really think that this is THE rom that will eventually be the OTA update? I would think some of this would be fixed first, possibly why it isn't out officially yet
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
Most of the bugs are just from stupidity.

If its a problem with the network, type *228 SEND. This will update your phone's roaming list, as well as re-install verizon's network data.

If its a hardware problem, just reflash the ROM. Should be fixed.

I haven't had any problems. And, in what I've seen, if one person has no problems, the rest of the problems are from stupidity :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nimado:
Just finished loading the rom that you had posted still no luck, not really that big of a deal just going through the motions trying to find out what works and what doesn't. Thanks again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raikalo:
I can agree, sort of, since the only real problems I had with the 2.1 firmware were wallpaper adjustments and contact problems.

Then again, since the release isn't official, there's a decent chance that these random fails are due to apps being out of date, stuff on the market not realizing our phones are official, and everything else that can come of overriding our phone's "newest" firmware with stuff that was leaked on the Web.

I have had no real problems. Wallpapers, eh, I just made the background black. /fix. Lock screen still works fine. People say BT is funky, that facebook won't sync, that gmail asks for login 5872032 times....reflash the firmware and try again. It hasn't happened to me or a few others, so it shouldn't happen at all. We're all using the same phone here :P
[Droid Eris Android Development] iloveandroid:
Ok, HOW THE HEAK CAN I GET THE FRICKIN' NEXUS ONE KEYBOARD OR THE HTC KEYBORD WITH THE VOICE INPUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
I think informing the major tech blogs about gmail issue in 2.0+ isn't a bad ideas. I already did it, but the more people who reported the better the chance of this news getting posted and Google trying to look for a fix faster. I think.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
Ask the N1/Desire guys for it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] iloveandroid:
I tied to install and it just fails
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Its not that easy. There is alot of work that will go into getting it ported to the Eris. We might even have to wait for root access to actually get it. Or who knows the official 2.1 might have it. We won't know until we know.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ryanlw:
zifnab, I'm really sorry to see you say this about people having problems. I have been following all of the root threads and 2.1 updates/leak, bug fixes, etc. I have seen you put a ton of work into rooting and I have been impressed by your overall knowledge of this phone. I have a lot of respect for how much work you have put in and your willingness/ability to deal with the same questions/comments being repeated over and over again.

What you said about other people's problems is ridiculous though. Because you don't have any problems, it's user stupidity? Really? Could you maybe have just gotten lucky? Could you offer up a suggestion to how someone could flash the update differently to have a better chance of success?

Personally, I have problems with signal strength that I have not been able to resolve. I have pulled the battery, done soft resets, used *228 1, 2, and 99 multiple times, and I'm still getting way less signal and a much higher "Time without a signal" (50%). I have also seen a lot of the problems that other people are describing.

Maybe people missed something vital in installation. Maybe there is something causing these problems that a lot of people have installed. There could be a bunch of reasons that people are having problems. But a lot of people are having similar problems. I, for one, have looked through every post to figure out how to fix mine and I haven't seen anything that has worked.

I understand that things get frustrating in forums and you may not be experiencing the same problems as others but maybe instead of calling people stupid, you could be respectful and either offer suggestions or not say rude things to people who are trying to learn.

BTW...the smiley face may be for joking but the content is still condescending
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raikalo:
I followed the tutorial on the website listed pages and pages ago, and installed the firmware without problem. I suppose the best thing to do, if you encounter problems, is just to try it again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Alright thats enough. I think you might speak for a few so lets keep it at that. We don't need more posts like this, it was said and consider his comments to be a representation of the others that want to say something. It is frustrating but we don't want this to go any further so please understand where zifnab06 is coming from and a response has been said.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jamest77:
A little buggy but works for the most part

I loaded 2.1 yesterday....I'm sure others are having the same issues but here we go. Just to let you know I also am using my eris with cricket. First problem have to logon many times to google b4 it finally works. I had problems with making calls that never went through and also got to where I could only talk with the speaker phone on. I reloaded and it seems to be working at the moment. I also noticed that when I added my contacts back into acontacts that I had multiple entries for the same contact. This was not a problem b4. If I tried deleting one of the entries it deleted all of them. Bummer...so using the regular phone contacts right now. Also couldn't get acontacts to take over in place of phone when it was loaded no matter what I did. Internet works very seldom and my signal seems to be very low much of the time with only one to two bars. If others are having any of these problems let me know if you find workarounds I am working on mine and will post if I find any.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
Anyone notice volume is lower when playing music through headphones ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] evolvetek:
Which is what you, and I, just posted. Nice work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] evolvetek:
tdavis42 - Quick question:

Since there is currently no root capability for the Eris as far as we know, does that also mean there is no good backup capability for the Eris, either? For example, Titanium Backup, which is arguably the best backup app, will not work on our Eris phones because we cannot root them, correct?

Any suggestions? Any good all-inclusive backup apps for the Eris?

Best,

/e
[Droid Eris Android Development] iamkewl:
I need some help.

I put the patched zip on my sd card, rebooted, and hit the hboot option.

Then it just scrolls by really fast saying

"SD CHECKING..... (PB00IMG.zip)

No Image!! "

And thats it...what am I doing wrong?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Sorry I really don't use backup apps, I use google voice and it saves all my SMS no matter what, gmail saves all my contacts and mail, pictures I just upload to picasa, and all the apps that I do download are the free ones so to backup those I use Astro File Manager.

iamkewl: Make sure the file is named PB00IMG.zip if it is not then it will not be recognized.
[Droid Eris Android Development] iamkewl:
Yes it's named that. I'm really not sure what's wrong :/

Edit: Got it to work, it was the SD card. Guess it was corrupted
[Droid Eris Android Development] gener1c:
did anyone noticed the build date of the rom when installing? its dated feb 8th i believe. I would think that the OTA update would be a newer build, But after playing with 2.1 so far I would say that we probably will be waiting a while for it. I know I might be beating a dead horse here. Just something I noticed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] david636:
I've been trying to download the patched rom, but when it finishes it says that the file is currupt. Anyone else having that issue?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sLaYeRCAL2010:
in direr need of help

i get it to load via the boot but now it just sits on HBOOT saying checking..[PB00IMG.zip] than goes back to saying

<SEND> FAstBoot Mode

<VOL UP> Recovery

what do i press please help
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
It has to do with your browser most likely.

What method are you using to turn the phone on? Send/End or Vol Down/End? It should be zerozero not OO
[Droid Eris Android Development] awheet:
r

Hey guys I've just started followng yesturday,but I've downloaded every link possible and when I put the. Zip on the sd card and hold end and send it tells me hboot so I select that and it loads a list extremely fast and says no image or wrong image and the it just tells me recovery or hboot and then nothing happens. Any help would be great
[Droid Eris Android Development] ashertheplague:
Are the dev's working on root for this leaked version of 2.1.. or are they gonna wait for the official update?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sickbox:
Check your SD card. I was using an old 1 GB SanDisk SD card and it wouldn't get past that part. I slapped the PB00IMG.zip on my newer 16 GB A-DATA SDHC card and it worked right away.

Also you may want to check the MD5 of the zip you have to make sure it is the patched one. I believe it should end in 449 or 499 or something?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sLaYeRCAL2010:
ive used both and they are unsuccessful
[Droid Eris Android Development] sLaYeRCAL2010:
im using the 8GB card it came with when i got the phone so what is the MD5
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
There are multiple ZIP files available. I can't imagine why there are links to the "corrupted" one ... I would hope any links to it are removed. If you've download the right one, don't unzip it anyway. I presume that's what is telling you something is corrupt.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Nice arrogance... Can you tell us how to be as gifted as yourself ?

Tell me, how is my stupidity causing numerous SMS messages to report that they failed to send now ? This did NOT happen until I updated to the 2.1 ROM.

Tell me, why is Gmail syncing very slowly now when before it was literally live. I have an email in my Gmail that I deleted from my phone a couple of hours ago.

I fail to see how my stupidity is the cause of those. Wait, maybe I'm too stupid to see that stupidity ! Yeah, that's why ! :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
Anyone notice audio playback volume is a bit lower?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raikalo:
The default alarm app force closed on me without making any noise, and I was almost late to work. Lol. I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

Funny story, tell your friends.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hysom:
root folder

how to you get something into root file? I have the zip file in my SD, but can't copy or move it into root folder.

thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] ecatano79:
Yes, I have he same issue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LINDIboy:
i tried

It's working fine for me I'm writing right now from my Droid eris 2.1 thank you to who ever made this possible!
[Droid Eris Android Development] cyclepipe:
I upgraded to 2.1 yesterday and I couldn't see Twidroid Pro listed as available for download while the free version was present. Today, I'm happy to report that the Pro version is now showing as available. I don't know what kind of change may have taken place but it's welcome nonetheless.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Root is the absolute bottom of the file structure. I.E. if your SD card is E: Drive than when you open E: drive you are at the root of the SD card.

Also do not unzip the file, it will destroy the Sig. and you will need to redownload the PB00IMG.zip file again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
How will it do that ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] iloveandroid:
How can we get the VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk to install? Or can someone else recode it or something to get it working?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ilikehtcalot:
I not as tech savvy with all of this as I would like to be.

Can anybody give me a step by step on how to upgrade?

droid eris.

and btw..

for the ones that do have it...any pics of the firmware?

thx.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ilikehtcalot:
I'm getting "no image or wrong image" when pressing send on HBOOT.

It's not reading the img file on the card?

What is going on?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dangerous Dave:
Dude...read the thread like everybody else. That's all I did and it worked for me on the first try.

I did the upgrade onmy wife's Eris last night. Thanks again to everybody who did all this fantastic leg work to make this happen. The upgrade went very smoothly and pretty much everything that looked like a "bug" either worked itself out after a good charge on the battery and a little sync time, or just took a little fiddling with settings to make it all good.

There is one wierd bug that appeared today, that is to say it worked correctly last night, but not today...that being the HTC weather widget. Now let me say up front, that the HTC weather widget has NEVER worked right on this phone. HTC blames google maps for the widget not knowing the correct city. Anyway, last night after upgrading, the widget showed the correct city for the first time EVER! Today, it just says "current location". Anybody else run into that one yet??

D Dave
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
By opening the .zip file it makes it no good. In other words the phone will not read it as an update.

Voice-To-Text is not included nor do I think it will be installed in the official release. We are working on porting it over to our phones but I really don't believe we will get it until you are able to have root access to the phone. It is just like the live wallpapers and Google Earth, they are all made for different hardware so it is not as easy as say the 2.1 photo album that is available. Even the 2.1 3D album will not work in landscape mode because it is coded for the larger screen.

Go to page 10 and the instructions are in the middle of the page. Please for further questions use the search feature, it is powered by Google and you will most likely find many answers to the same question.:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Have you gone into the market and D/Led the Google Maps 4.0 yet? It might help your situation. It is odd that Maps is not automatically updated and that we have to do it manually. Oh well at least we can use it with Buzz.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hysom:
root folder

thanks for your help tdavis42.

finally got it to work

-access your SD card

-copy the file from your download folder

-don't put into any folder

-turn off device

-press vol down then power button and it should take over
[Droid Eris Android Development] hysom:
2.1 leak

the only problem that I am having is trying to switch ringtones seems to freeze up the phone. other than that, no major problems.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Is it named PB00IMG.zip (PBzerozeroIMG.zip)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dangerous Dave:
Yeah, I downloaded Google maps today. Really nice! Nice display and very feature rich. I even tried rebooting the phone afterwards, but no change to the weather widget. I've spent an awful lot of time on the phone with HTC about that damned weather widget over the last two and a half months. Love it when it works right...irritates me to death when it doesn't.

This whole upgrade thing is really killing me. Ya see, I'm big on warranties. I like that whole security blanket thing. Now we all know darn well that if you do this upgrade yourself and have a problem with your phone while it's still in warranty, you've just given Verizon and HTC a perfect excuse to say "tough ****". I'm not sure I can make that leap of faith just yet with my own personal Eris. Now my wife's Eris, I picked up used, uber-cheap, so there' no warranty on it anyway. So I did the upgrade on hers...because the curiosity was killin' me. Now that I've personally witnessed the sweetness of 2.1...I want it bad. ;) Oh, the agony. Somebody at Verizon needs their a$$ kicked for holding out on us so long. My salesperson said mid-January for the upgrade! WTF? So yeah, kinda disgusted that I've hooked my wife up with all this Android goodness whilst I wait on Big Red to get shakin' with the OTA. Man, I hate being obsessive-compulsive. :mad:

D Dave
[Droid Eris Android Development] ilikehtcalot:
I found out why it wasn't working....I had to read about 40 pages of these posts though LOL...

It was because I downloaded the original img file..waited for what others said about the upload. Then downloaded the img file from a second site. I used the second download which saved the file as PB00IMG(2).zip. Doesn't read that way...So I deleted the (2)..repeated the process..and the rest was obvious.

Thx everyone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jearl75:
Just out of curiosity I emailed HTC today to see what they are saying about an official release for 2.1 to the Eris, this was what I got back.

"I have heard that some Verizon reps or HTC employees received a test version of the 2.1 operating system on their personal phones. However there have been some issues with the operating system that we are working out at this time.

Please continue to be patient.

I want to apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. I want to thank you for contacting HTC."

I know that it's been said that the leaked version is the tester version, so i'm assuming the issues with the operating system he's referring to are probably the bugs that people have been experiencing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Yep. That is exactly why we are having problems. Also some testers had OTA problems supposedly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] digitaljeannie:
The little issues I'm experiencing have definitely not been any sort of deal breaker and have all had their workarounds, The update is by far and away worth it to me and I'm very thankful to all the work the devs have done in bring it to us in a workable form.

Dl'd & installed "Better Keyboard" and now have voice-to-text input in all apps.

I also confirmed that Navigator works without data required. I did a "test run" to the grocery store down the street and had GPS satellite on and mobile data off. Worked perfectly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
50 more posts and this will be the longest, most civilized thread in the Eris section. Of course now that I said something were F'ed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ilikehtcalot:
If there turns out to be some kinda bug somehow with this..

Are you able to do the OTA update when verizon finally gets its done when this is already on the phone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Search, search, search please, please, please. This has been answered before :D:eek:and it will be a good chance for you to get acquainted with the feature.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pabent:
Eris update 2.1 working without any problems!!!!!

I am located in the DC area and updated my Eris tonight. It is working without any flaws. I wonder when the official release will be...??? In this area I know several people who work at the Verizon corporate stores. They all have no idea when the official update is coming. They also told me that for every Moto Droid they sell, they sell 3 Eris Droids...
[Droid Eris Android Development] TwchHouse:
Please Help....

I downloaded and put the patched version on my sd card.

I powered down my phone waited about 3 minutes to make sure it was completely done shutting down

How do I get it to boot to install the image? I feel like a N00b lol but ive never delt with mobile devices or android at all. Im very interested in learning thoe.

I think I covered everything but if you need more info hit me up

-------

I can hit <VOL UP> Recovery

and the phone starts to boot again. I remove the battery and place it back in and it boots just fine into the cupcake OS i currently have.

Its a HTC ERis on Verizon Network

Im Located In

California, USA
[Droid Eris Android Development] 05swtc:
It may sound stupid, but have you pressed the trackball at the point where it stops. It wasn't obvious but thats what I did and it went through another boot and then all was well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TwchHouse:
yea i pressed it and even left it over night with nothing in the morning. I was searching through comments on a few different sites and think im gonna try to download it from a different server and try it again lol i dont know

some people said they tried 2-3 times then it worked.

I hope it works :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] 05swtc:
I dl'd the file from the link on page ten of this thread and it worked fine first try. However after reading through 75 pages, it looks like it has been hit or miss for others. I did notice that in the beginning the action key that people had to press seemed to be either vol down or the track ball. That is curious to me why different phone would require different actions for the same result after all they are all Droid Eris'. I think I'll read back through and investigate that a little. If I come up with anything I'll shoot you a PM
