It's possible that your battery is no longer holding a full charge. This is normal with batteries over time since their capacity decreases with each charge cycle. The fix is to get a new battery, and there are even extended life batteries out there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gjmcmanus:
Tazz,

You can beta test v7 until until Verizon or HTC releases 2.2 for the Eris. And there are still going to be people that don't follow directions, don't read the FAQ, don't search the forums, and that are going to ***** no matter what you do.

That's why flashing custom roms is risky. "Flash it your own risk."

*edit*

Keep doing what you are doing.. keep up your great work..
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
not the case with lithium ion batts. they have no memory and don't decrease with charging.

3g/2g toggle?

how does the 3g/2g toggle app work? I never notice a difference in the status bar or anything...is the diffence visible or should i just assume it's doing its job when activated?
[Droid Eris Android Development] gjmcmanus:
Lithium ion battery life can shortened by overheating the battery. Which can cause vaporization of the lithium and loss of battery capacity over time..

Lithium ion batteries do not have memory effect like older nimh batteries.

I would check to make sure notifications are turned off with the newest version of Facebook.
[Droid Eris Android Development] clandestinique:
happens to me too... if i'm consistently on gtalk or im+ i'm done in about 4 hours. dk but seems to me that tazz's rom drains faster than kaosfroyo, which is what i was previously on. still, i think this rom has less glitches, which is why i'll be a happy camper waiting for v7.

does this happen to anyone else: though out the day, my ADW gets increasingly bogged down, and the screen redraws more and more often / takes longer and longer to load when I click the home button? I have to reboot at least once or twice a day now to circumvent super-lag, but still, adw starts bogging down within 2 - 3hours.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Izeltokatl:
Setting Locations:

Menu > Settings > Privacy > unselect "Back up My Data" and "Automatic Restore"

When you flash to a new Froyo Rom, make sure before you go into the market app, you modify above settings, or once you go into the market it will start downloading per the second option above.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gjmcmanus:
That's a great tip, and should be added to FAQ..
[Droid Eris Android Development] redhooka:
Not going to happen, the Eris has already been discontinued.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
It's discontinued as a new product. "Support" is a different matter.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gjmcmanus:
I know.. sorry my smarcastic tone didn't come across...
[Droid Eris Android Development] redhooka:
No, it is quite true. Battery memory issues affect NiCad batteries that aren't fully discharged before recharging, you fix that by draining them all the way and charging them back up. I have several lithium ion batteries that no longer take a full charge, for example the battery in my laptop used to work for 4 hours, now I'm lucky to get 1 out of it. And yes, it is a lithium ion.

http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/lithium-ion-battery.htm

By "degrade" they mean that they lose charge capacity over time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xmradiojunkie:
Thank you. Since this is done from within the Froyo phone settings, will the backup that was previously made be deleted or will it still be attatched to my google account? If so, how would I go about deleting it? Thank you for your help.

This is not a major thing, just courious I guess
[Droid Eris Android Development] skraapz27:
My notification bar is hiding on the home screen I can still pull down the menu but when it goes up it hides.	Any help¿¿

Sent from my TazzFroyo Eris *****es.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
swipe up its in the settings whether or not it hides and swiping up displays it and swiping up again hides it
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Yep I do understand they do "die" over time but its like the lithium-ion batteries in my cordless driver, they degrade, but when they do they do it quite quickly at the end of life and wont hold a charge for even 10 min. They do not hold less and less in an incremental death to my understanding, they just go from good life to no life quite quickly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] skraapz27:
Wow look at that I did not know thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
no prob to change go to menu > adw settings > system preferences > swipe up actions and to keep it up there go to menu > adw settings > screen preferences > Hide (unhide) status bar (uncheck to keep it there)
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
OK, there are three ways that I have seen posted to recal. One is to run it to 100% THEN clear stats, another is to run it all the way down then clear stats, and yet another says to run it down to under 5% then clear stats. UGH! :confused: lol

I charged to 100% then cleared. Should I try clearing after shut off instead?

I would hope a 4 month old battery would be in good shape :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Battery issues on this rom are not likely to be caused by battery degredation. I suggest charging 100%, booting into recovery, wiping and reflashing the rom while plugged in.
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
So, then everyone who has used the "completely discharge then clear battery stats" method has ruined their battery? :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Sorry for the confusion Rodie. One of your main probs is that you clear stats at the top but you don't clear at the bottom or the phone looses all that drain calibration info you just gave it with a full drain.

1. Charge to 100%

2. Shut off while plugged in.

3. Boot to recovery and clear stats.

4. Unplug and reboot.

5. Drain to exhaustion.

6. Plug in and charge back to 100%.

Basically that's it. You have calibrated it one time with that process. Now if you want to give it even more accurate information then just do steps 4-6 one or two more times without wiping any stats. You only need one cycle but 2-3 defiantly helped mine to be more accurate on the meter as it drained throughout the day.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Your phone kills itself before the battery ever gets to that point. Even tho the eris says its empty, its not 100% discharged. No worries, your batt should be fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
keep in mind guys and gals... nothing you can do with regards to this calibration process can or will kill your battery. all you are doing is teaching your phone how much life is in your battery and at what rate it uses it. you can wipe stats at any time and even though the phone may think it is low, if there is juice left in the battery it will keep going and just sit on (say 5%) for 2 hours. I have a sedio 1750 battery that I just got back in the mail and if I put it in my phone with no calibration then my phone would think it was the stock battery until a full drain showed that there was more life in it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
OK, that is exactly what I did.

I was hoping that was the case:D

Thanks for your help
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I'm curious.... has anyone flashed V6 over an older version like V5 or V4?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Come on boys and girls, this thread is about tazz's ROM, not battery ideology.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Yep I orig did a flashover and it didn't do well so went for the clean install to get rid of leftovers.

LOL hey were gonna discuss quantum physics next...:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] chicken59:
I did originally flash it over V4, but it was unstable. Formatted SD card and it has been nearly flawless.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 8on3s:
lol

Cant say I would go against Tazz's recommendation, however any ideas if that would be a safe plan for 7?
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
Has anyone had an issue with apps 2 SD? Not all of my apps will go to the card.
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
Copenhagen or Many Worlds? :cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
Not all can or will because of copywrites or some **** like that if I'm correct
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Many worlds...of course. Duh.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sword-:
I can wireless tether now but not wired tether.
[Droid Eris Android Development] redhooka:
No, however they have used up one of their batteries charge cycles. The protection circuit will not allow the battery to charge once these have been exceeded. There's over 1000 cycles though so no worries.
[Droid Eris Android Development] GreginNH:
I will wait onv7.....

Man, I tried this 3 times last night. Wiped all, including SD Card

Installed v6, last time I tried I did not install any gapps and it froze on me 10 minutes in, had to pull the battery. Before that the other 2 times, i kept getting a security settings warning from my Exchange Server account and Google Services framework kept popping up with a FC.

I let it charge overnight and wiped the battery stats this morning and booted up, the battery dropped to 85% in minutes...scared the life outta me :)

So I restored to my v5 nand backup and its been fine. Great Battery life, no wierd issues....only thing i noticed so far was the CDMA auto prl thing was wrong, but i did the fix and it seems to have stuck...

with v6 it wouldnt take at all for some reason..

Anyway, not complaining, just throwing it out as an FYI...:)
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
well looks like i have the bugs worked out :D:D one more test and ill send to a few people for final ok
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
Sweet!

If you wanna try it out on a n00b, just let me know. That way you can test how reliable it is in the hands of an inexperienced root-er :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Kruby:
Can't wait Tazz, 6 worked great.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cas46706:
Ok...I've been reading all the posts about ppl having issues with v6 with metamorph. I never formatted my card, only factory wipe, flashed tazz's rom then the google app zip, rebooted and am currently using kevlar mash v3 (i think) theme using metamorph and haven't had 1 issue with anything!!! I'm completely new to the whole rooted flashing thing and haven't had any problems what-so-ever! Thought I'd pass this on.

Swyped from my TazzFroyo Eris using XDA App

im glad , hopefully 7 is gunna be better for all :D:D

Well that's a first, my phone just rebooted iself...
[Droid Eris Android Development] 8on3s:
What's your OC at?
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
I didn't install SetCPU, so whatever the stock Tazz v6 setting is...
[Droid Eris Android Development] 8on3s:
Well that is interesting, I had a bug like that for a little... thought it was my OC. Can't explain it, but it seems all cleared. How many times? Just the once?

(Edit) btw I also re-formated my SD after the rebooting. Don't think that had much to do with it, but it was worth a try.
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
Yep, first time since I installed v6. Seems fine right now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 8on3s:
Well this being the only "bug" I have run into 7 is going to OWN!

I will OC my Eris back up to 764 try and duplicate what happened, if not, it may have just been a glitch... I don't see anyone else with this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
Actually, a couple other people mentioned reboots on v6, if I recall. I think Tazz said he was working on it...
[Droid Eris Android Development] redhooka:
I had that happen too, it stopped after I setup SetCPU.
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
One other weird thing, now my Notification pull down window is blue...it was grayish before. hrm

Not complaining, just making a statement btw. I plan on flashing to v7 anyway :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] 8on3s:
Really, well I must have not noticed them lol well still if this is the only major issue I'm more than exited for v7 this has got to be the best 2.2 Rom out there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cas46706:
From what I can tell I agree!

Swyped from my Froyo Eris using XDA App
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
I guess it is too late for a v7 release tonite? :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I was getting really bad battery life with V6 after a callibration (I must have messed it up) so I'm flashing an old one... I'll try reflashing later. I was losing 5% a minute =\ with REALLY conservative setcpu values, I've never used such conservative ones.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I'm using a version of 4 now I think... going to try flashing v6 over it after just wiping the dalvik. I donon if it'll work lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I flashed V6 over my old V4 and omggggg it's so perfect now lol legit the best battery life I've ever had.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Oh and because of the flash over my old V4 the notification lights all work :D ftw

Tethering question

okay i'm sure this has been discussed, but does the wired tether function work? my windows 7 isn't recognizing it when i turn it on. also, is it just me or does anyone else's 3g randomly disappear while running wifi tether? it happens when ever i use anetshare and android-wifi-tether. any ideas/suggestions? Thank you so much!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Phaded:
v7 today I hope...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ok guys sorry for the wait ,i just didnt want any issues so ive been beatin the crap outta it ,, so far

yea camera works

no rebooting

its not freezing ect..

i am givin a test version to a few people , should be gettin it soon

if all goes well i wil release it later on tonight

So the froyo OTA has been sent out :) Excited for the kernel
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
WTF are you talking about?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ki1lACrAcK:
Im not sure if we had the kernel for a while or not, but the Droid is getting froyo updates now, so therefore we should have a more similar kernel to mod for the eris ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Phaded:
Your LED doesn't stick and your trackball works for notifications?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Nothing that happens with the Motorola Droid has any bearing on the HTC Eris.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Phaded:
The kernel for the Moto Droid is different from ours. Eris won't ever have the 2.2 kernel released as we will never have an official 2.2 upgrade.

The kernel used now is a mix of ASOP and ported code.

I think... lol... i took a stab at it with my basic knowledge. knowing me, i'm dead wrong haha
[Droid Eris Android Development] Slugdoc:
I can't get camera magic to autofocus.

Tap on screen doesn't focus. When I take picture it looks like it tries to autofocus, but then takes the picture without sharp focus.

On the 2.1 roms, stock camera autofocussed fine, so it's not a hardware prob.
[Droid Eris Android Development] patches152:
i'm having issues with my widgets not "updating", things like weather, battery status, youtube, pandora...i've uninstalled/reinstalled, to no avail. anything i can to do resolve this?

TIA
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
Did you move them to the sd card. If so that will cause them to not work, I would look and move the widgets back to internal storage.
[Droid Eris Android Development] patches152:
negative, nothing is stored on my SD card. my thought is that they're being killed by the system. i have minimal experience with the onboard "system manager" or whatever it's called. is there a way to create a "white list" or "ignore" for things like apps or widgets or is that only something supported through the 3rd party app killer/managers?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
I'm not sure but I believe that is only supported through 3rd party apps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
What "onboard system manager" are you referring to ? I use Advanced Task Killer (manually) on a daily basis -- I'm not interested in silly debating of this topic either ;) -- and it seems to me that widgets are classified in a manner that task killers already ignore them. AutoKiller has never shut them down either.
[Droid Eris Android Development] skraapz27:
Tazz I'm sorry to say this but I'm going to droid x I got an early upgrade, plus its a business account so I got the phone for 150 just sux that its going to take 2weeks sure to backorder

[Droid Eris Android Development] gemro311:
Just read some interesting comments over on kaosfroyo forum. It appears some folks have been using T1 to restored their apps and settings from previous Roms. This struck a chord with me as I had done the same up until I reflashed v6. Now I realize the source of my issues could have been T1 restore. I strongly recommend using app brain to back up your apps. Hopefully this will resolve some of our issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
There were issues? And what is T1? I just use titanium backup.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
My apps sometimes won't update. Toggle 2G and Titanium both show updates on appbrain but the market doesn't give the option.
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
I think the issue is using Ti Backup for the system settings not just the app settings.
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
If I am not mistaken, they are the same thing.

I was reading the Kaos forum too, and it seems that reinstalling you apps from Titanium is fine, but if you were having problems with a previous ROM, then restoring the Settings from Titanium can cause the same problems to come back.

Hope I explained that right, lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Oh I see. Makes sense.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Oh and I'm stable at 806 with this rom =p but I'm staying at 768.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gemro311:
......

Indie..you are right. However all I ever used was the app restore..still had the issues. So there is more going on than we realize.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Sorry I must have missed the post with your issues. Would you mind posting them? I haven't had any problems with my current set up but I did some things differently.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ajavgeek:
Hmm, I tried it many times to be at 806 but my phone reboots after 2 min. The max freq I can get is 787.2

Is there nay reason that why mine is not working at 806
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Processor overclock differently on a phone by phone basis. It has a lot to do with how processors are made and sold =p I could explain a bit better but all you need to know is that processors are all different.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ajavgeek:
k, Thx. Wonder why 2 ERIS will have different behavior.

The trackball light doesn't.
[Droid Eris Android Development] redhooka:
I wouldn't count on it, they left the Eris out of the Froyo announcement and have discontinued this phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] redhooka:
Just be aware that you cannot flash any custom ROMs onto that phone, the most you can do is root it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] redhooka:
Some CPUs are better than others, it's just the luck of the draw. Mine goes up to 825mhz with no issues.

Tethering issues

Okay i'm sure this has been discussed, but does the wired tether function work? My windows 7 isn't recognizing it when i turn it on. Also, is it just me or does anyone else's 3g randomly disappear while running wifi tether? It happens when ever I use anetshare and android-wifi-tether. Any ideas/suggestions? Thank you so much!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I need to check the tethering on my working computer. I'll get back to you later on that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] shawn.irwin:

[Droid Eris Android Development] Slugdoc:
Camera won't autofocus

I find that in the otherwise excellent v6, the camera won't autofocus.

I thought it was a camera magic issue, but it seems to be the case in barcode scanner, too.

The focus just moves in then back out, like it is trying but failing to lock focus.

Anyone else see this problem?
[Droid Eris Android Development] gpa111:
I would wait for v7 but I haven't noticed this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dejonghe:
Autofocus

I can not get the bar code reader to focus...but highly anticipating V7!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Izeltokatl:
Ditto on barcode scanning not working (viewfinder works, but it can't focus right to find the barcode).

Magic Camera works, but my paid app Camera 360 doesn't work on V6. =-\ I assume v7 will resolve this issue :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
Or try kaosfroyo or CELB 1.9 which both have the stock camera working....including barcode scanners....hopefully tazz will do the same in v7
[Droid Eris Android Development] gpa111:
Anyone tried using the voice search app launched today? It will not install for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jfont25:

Probably won't work with custom roms until added to the google app pack or a fix is found...

Anyways I hope v7 is up tonight or I'm jumping to kaosfroyo
[Droid Eris Android Development] gpa111:
We can probably have it added in. But it makes me wonder what the market thinks we are running. Probably 2.1.
