Sorry about the alliteration, I couldn't resist...

My phone is freezing about once a day. Not just going slow, it completely locks up and the only way to recover it is to pop the back off and remove the battery. Over the last week it's gone from frustrating to aggravating; I'm starting to worry that I'm going to wear out the snaps that hold the back on and the thing will just fall apart in my hands.

The only thing I can kind of point to as the cause is the stock Music app. 90% of the time it happens I'm sitting down in my car, about to drive off, I plug the phone in to my car stereo's aux port, open the music app, and get a black screen with the notification icons along the top.

At this point there is no music, the screen is unresponsive to taps, and the physical buttons do nothing. I can't even force a shutdown because the power button is unresponsive.

Once I left it alone to see if it would recover overtime and the screen turned off but I couldn't turn it back on (power button still failed). Another time the music was already playing but I tried to open the playlist to choose a different song, the song skipped a few times then it all locked up.

I've also noticed the music app seems to forget I have an SD card sometimes. I'll open it and the only songs are the ones included by default. I have to open the cover (again) and reinsert the SD card for it to reacquire.

So my questions are:

1. Is anybody noticing their phone locking up frequently? Especially those who use the music app alot?

2. Is there a better way to force a shutdown without battery removal or a hard reset (which I don't even will work)?

3. At 10 battery removing crashes per week can I lay claim to the buggiest phone in this room?

I wouldn't make a big deal about this but this is a stock app included with the phone, you'd think it would play nicer. As it is I feel like the music app takes more resources to run than the processor can handle. Skip more than a few songs in a row, or try to scroll through your playlist quickly and it gets really jittery and unstable.

Obviously my phone isn't rooted.

Music is in a "Music" folder on the SD card.

All album art is embedded in the file so it doesn't have to look things up.

The only music related app I've added is the last.fm scrobbler app.

Everytime I can recall this happening I had just recently plugged in the headphone jack.

Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible General] x.v_:
I'd go ask for another if you haven't yet (or try hard resetting)... This hasn't been happening to me. I have ~3GB of music totaling ~1000 songs and I haven't had any trouble with the music app aside from it being jittery in scrolling. I haven't once had my phone lock to the point of having to take the battery out.
[Droid Incredible General] jaboswell:
mine will actually crash but reboot itself while listening to podcasts or music. Has happened about 7-8 times, once being today and the most previous before that it happened 2 times around the 3rd of the month...

( i do not have the update installed---if that matters at all)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] XERO_Racer:
is there a ROM already made for the Rhodium that has Sense 2.1 on WM 6.1? would love to try it out since 6.1 seems to be easy on resources and battery life...and its been ages since i tried it out lol but yeh for those wondering if its possible? yes its possible, Xeperia X1 already has a custom ROM thats got sense 2.1 and WM 6.1 all in one ROM http://htcpedia.com/276/soft/sony-x1-rom.html

please let me know, thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
I have made such a Hybrid. But the problem is that the battery life is crap. You need to use the new rilphone.dll together with the 4.xx.xx.xx radio and WM6.1. The rilphone and radio doesn't match the WM version and this results in a poor battery.

Check my Oldschool thread in ROM developing, I have put there my WM6.1 + Sense 2.5 ROM (have a look at the last posts), see how the battery live is, if it fits you I'll upload you a WM6.1 Sense 2.1 Hybrid too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bdg4891:
Hey all,

A month or so ago I rooted my phone to Evil Eris 1.1 so I could experience 2.1, etc. Well since the announce of the OTA update, I recently decided to unroot since I haven't really felt like taking advantage of the superuser permissions, overclocking, etc.

So I followed an unroot guide on Androidforums.com in order to unroot. I'm running on a mac and followed every step correctly, had no problems until it came time to reboot my phone.

I got a stock 1.5 lockscreen but upon unlocking, saw the standard 2.1 wallpaper and received 2-3 different "Sorry!" Error messages about the processes "com.htc.provider" and "android.process.media". So pretty much, what the hell, did I brick my phone and is there anything I missed or that I probably did wrong? Is this guide a piece of **** scam?

EDIT

Much thanks to T.C.P. for the help! We ended up flashing a 2.1 root rom and it seemed to fix everything.

I have tried many roms in the past, and the last rom i was using was kimera 1.8, now when i try to flash villian5.5 or vanillaeclair 2.0.1 it always gets stuck at the htc logo when the phones booting up for the first time, i did a wipe before the flash too. The only way to get a working rom on the phone is to use a nandroid backupedit: on the vanillaeclair 2.0.1 it freezes at the android bootscreen

Now that we have these super powerful Droids with beautiful AMOLED screens, what is your favorite live wallpaper to show yours off?

My favorite so far is without a doubt "Starfield 3D Live Wallpaper" by "We Like CAPS!". The AMOLED screen makes this one so beautiful, and every time I see it I'm in awe (especially when you double tap to go into warp speed). If you haven't checked it out, do yourself a favor and head over to the market to get it for free. Here are the settings for it that I recommend:

Speed: 4

Stars: 2000

Background: OFF

Let me know what you guys think, and please post your favorite live wallpapers.

The Koi Live Wallpaper

Have you seen this one? Not free, but you get to feed them mini icons of your installed apps and watch them all race to eat them. My daughters seem to get a kick out of it! And it can be soothing to watch them. I removed everything form one of my SenseUI panels just to have a screen for them!:rolleyes:

I spoke to a Verizon rep yesterday, and from what info he gave me (unconformed) that the 2.1 official update has to be pushed via pc, sync not OTA. Something about the 2.1 first leak was really verizons 2.0 update went wrong. Like I said, its all he said, but on a good note. I told him my modified phone was having problems and he sent me out a new one, 1 day shipping. Kind of nice, and great customer service.

Modded Handsets Getting OTA?

I am curious if only people running Eris stock 1.5 are getting the Verizon OTA or if modded handsets are getting it too?

Specifically, I would be interested in hearing if anyone running the "official" 2.1 leak (someone who unzipped file PB00IMG.zip from their sd card [don't know if this is considered a "rooted" or "leaked" version]) has received the Verizon approved (May 11) 2.1 update?

I'm running the PB00IMG.zip 2.1 on my Eris and have not yet gotten the OTA. Wonder if I will? Thanks for sharing.

Verizon reps usually don't know what they're talking about. They just here rumors like we do. There's been a few people that have gotten the OTA. They said they'll push it out to 1000 the first day, then 9000 the next, so on and so forth. You've just got to be patient my friends.

From what most of the devs have said, you'll still be able to get the official ota even if you're on the leak. Unless they do a **** move and change one of the versions (baseband, kernel, or something. forget which one) to a lower version than what the leakers have. Then you won't be able to. But I doubt they'd do that, as I don't think htc cares and probably leaked 2.1 themselves.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gament:
Wifes Eris is stock 1.5 and nothing on hers yet. Will drop a note here when/if it gets an ota request.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8on3s:
Now that number system makes some sence, 1000 and if there is a huge issue cut it, then if that passes, jump up another few thousand ect. Until everyone has the ota, I'm sure it's to keep the airways clear and minimize the possibility of file fragmintation.

Can you do the following and send it to jcase and zifnab06 , see below quote from jcase:

QUOTE=jcase;6454172]If you are a leaker, please follow this tutorial when updating to the OTA. Get us the url to the OTA zip please.

If you are interested in looking at the process that HTC/Verizon uses for the OTA updates, you can get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:

Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone

$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt

This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:

W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip !!!

Then, take the name of the file and paste it on the end of android.clients.google.com/updates/partner, for instance, for the Eris 1.17.605.1 OTA, the complete url is:

https://android.clients.google.com/updates/partner/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtopping:
If anyone here is familiar with packet capturing, it might be easier to find the URL of the OTA package using Wifi and a wireless(or wired outside your AP) sniffer.

A rooted user could even start the download, and the sniffer sees the HTTP headers, you could pull the battery to before the download is completed (and before any changes are made to your phone).

Might want to back up your SD card data if you're going to do that. Sometimes interrupting a write can corrupt a memory card.

Wouldn't it just be better to remove the memory card in general if younare going to try this?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverramsrt:
Quoted from here.

System Update while You Are Roaming

1. If you are roaming you will not receive a system update notice. You will need to enable Wi-Fi and wait for the update notice to appear or as mentioned above you can manually update by add steps.

2. To enable Wi-Fi go to "Settings" > "Wireless & networks". Press "Wi-Fi" to enable.

3. To connect to an available "Wi-Fi network" select "Wi-Fi settings" and select an available an Wi-Fi network or manually add a Wi-Fi network that has had security settings established.

They could something like air-crack or wireshark for that job, I however cannot :p (hardware issues) I have looked into the same idea.

It would be easier just to wait for the OTA notice and use the SDK thats my plan. My GF has a non rooted 1.5 eris, So we will see about the 2.1*leak OTA question as well. Patience, things will happen it will be good.

Has anybody already running a leaked 2.1 tried installing the "official" 2.1 via download and been successful? Is there actually a diffrence between the official and the V3 leak? From everything I'm reading elsewhere, it sounds like they're the same.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sub-Standard:
My wife's Eris received notification of the update late Thursday night. It is waiting on the phone and reminds her daily, but I suggested waiting til more people try it out before downloading it and loosing the possibility of root forever.

When mine gets shipped Insurance claim, I going to try to talk her into swapping with me, so I can have root & she can have The official update she wants.

My Motor Droid is rooted now & only clocked to 8000. Never gets jot, even with the hard case on. When I pick up her phone to get on the internet or especially if I use it to play a live game, it is apparent that the Eris is A lot laggier. She picks up my phone and is like "Wow! It's so fast!". When I had my Eris, I never noticed it being slow until after I got a chance to use a rooted Droid.

It's just that the Droid is sooo damn ugly! I love the look of the Eris. I really don't care for having a slide out keyboard either, but even with a slide out, Motorola still could have done better in the design. I also have a Moto Devour and I love the all metal look and feel of it. The slide out feels much more sturdy than the plastic Droid.

The Devour even comes with a faster processor than the Droid, but for some reason it seems that no one is interested in trying to root the Devour.

.

Anyway, there's my rant. Maybe if I can get an Eris ovwrclocked, I will be much happier. Otherwise I may just wait to see if the HTC Supersonic is going to be rootable, and sell two of my phones to buy it.
