[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 56K:
From what i have read, Verizon turned down the option for the iPhone.

The things that would make me switch is the apps. There are alot of good apps that take tons of extra time to get to Android. I know this is not Android's fault and that it falls on the developers, but it is what it is.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokedkill:
Verizon turned Apple down due to Apple's communist way of doing business. As far as apps, yes Apple has more, but basically Android has apps to just about everything the iPhone can do except when it comes to gaming. Far as other apps, iPhone may have, lets just say, 5 apps to perform a certain function, while Android only has 2 or 3. I am however waiting on justin.tv to release a viewer app for Android, even though I have had my Eris replaced with a Droid 2 and have flash, but I remember how it was when I had my Eris, and I'll stick with you guys til the end.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 56K:
And I'm a gamer....big time. We will see what comes out in Q1 before I make my final pick. But I am one of the peeps who may make the jump to apple. I like Android alot but the apps are just not there for me when I want them.:(

I am thinking hard about upgrading to the droid x. But im not do for an upgrade till next november. Now here's my options 1. I could get a new contract because I still have an altell one, but I really don't want to give up my unlimited plan for a new verizon one 2. I could just wait and see what phones are out next year( but will it be worth the wait?). I just don't want to be stuck like I am now, I mean I love my eris but we can only take it so far. I would hate to get a droid x then 3 months later verizon stops updating them like they did the eris. Or do you guys think the x will hold up to next years line of phones?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 56K:
I am going to say no, the rate Android Phones come out yours is already dated. They are talking dual core in Q1 or Q2 of 2011.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backroaddrifter:
Yea dual core = awesome! But I guess its my obsession with a new toy that makes me want one now. But just like you pointed out as soon as I get the x, two days later they will come out with dual core and ill be sol.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 56K:
A buddy of mine said something that makes sense, why upgrade now when CES is around the corner.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk842018:
Ill be upgrading, but the way ALL the eris devs are here on xda. Ill be keeping this phone to check out different roms and extras. This phone has really outdone its self, the devs made it possible. Thank you all
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8on3s:
Well my poor gf is getting tired of some issues with her Eris, it looks as if we may be upgrading within the next year or so, but you had better believe this phone will be available for testing regardless if it has service or not.

Gonna miss this phone as a daily driver when we change it up, this little cheapy is a hard worker.

Not really sure what we would move to... but from the looks of it there will be some good Android phones out there.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnrbrown1968:
I have no intention of trading in my Eris .... for a multitude of reasons ::

1. I've been unemployed for 2 years ... money is tight. I was late to the game in the newest wave of phones ... I was using an LG Dare ... which I HATED. In 13 months, I had 5 of them ... when the 5th one broke, I was beyond free replacement warranty, and had 2 choices a cheapie upgrade, or suffer with the Dare until I was eligible for my 2 year, which, at the time, was months away ...

I went with what I could afford ... the Droid Eris. My girlfriend has a Droid X, which to me, is too big, bulky, square.... didn't like the look or feel. Yeah, the bigger screen is nice ... but why not just carry a laptop? :p

2. I finally caved in to the rooting process ... a scary premise, cause if I bricked the phone, I'd have to buy another phone, on a skimpy unemployment budget. I liked the Eris stock ... but it still had some minor things I wanted, but couldn't have .... until I rooted. Through numerous rooting processes, flashing different ROMs, upgrades, changing softwares, removing bloatwares, I've improved the phone's performance, efficiency, usability, and fun quotient. I've double the free phone space, and it runs extremely smooth.

3. Through this process, I've learned a ton ... I'm a software developer by trait, but this stuff was all new to me. But once I got comfortable, I continued to dig, learn more, and change things I could do, to not only improve my Eris, but to personalize it. My phone is now is 100% mine.... unique, one of a kind. I'm rockin' my Who themed phone .... from bootscreen, to wallpaper, to even my Who earbud headphones.

4. I just purchased a new extended 3500mah battery .....

I plan to use this phone until Verizon pries it from my cold, dead hands!!!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edward_g:
Ditto

Ditto JohnBrown! Looks like we have come to the same happy conclusion. I am running tazz Vanilla v 24 now. Luvin' it. Also Swype. I too have the extended battery from seidio and it's nice to not ever have a battery issue when I am out and about. The phone actually feels "just right" now with the exteded soft touch back that seidio includes. I was so afraid I wouldn't like the thickness or weight but I actually think it's an improvement. There is nothing out there that I would want at this point...and I check the stores from time to time. This really surprises me 'cause I tend to want the newest gadget. Have fun!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramengelion:
I hash the opportunity to upgrade to a Droid X, but after playing around with KaosFroyo, Swype, and other modifications I just cannot justify the cost. My Eris does everything I could want it to, it is plenty fast enough after overclocking it, and with the right kernal, there are no battery problems at all! Why should I upgrade?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnrbrown1968:
I tried swype but couldn't get it to work, but i do have shapewriter, which I've grown to like.. I've upgraded to camera 360, new market app, and made a couple other tweaks ... and she is running nice.. i did install an updated music player, but was having too many runtime memory issues, so just installed headset blocker widget to solve the problem.. i uninstalled almost all stock sound files, and removed all Google voice and speech to text apps, as well as a bunch of bloatware.. I've more than tripled my runtime space.

This baby is a fine tuned hot rod right now! Plan to try and install a battery mod, to improve battery status readability in the status bar.

Who knows what other tweaks i may install.

As for the battery itself, the new size for the extended battery won't bother me... I've done that with all the phones I've had .... i just wish the battery would hurry up and arrive!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backroaddrifter:
Well looks like I might be upgrading sooner than I thought. My eris is starting to get the trackball issue! I wonder if verizon will let me renew my contract early so I can get a new phone and not have to deal with another eris. I've heard of verizon letting you upgrade after a year on a two year plan if you are having problems. That wouldn't be a bad idea but I don't know what to tell them to make them do it?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theGross1:
I was going to upgrade but now I'm waiting to see what HTC has been teasing us about. Upgrading to a single core at this point just seems silly. Only 3 more days until CES anyways.

With my plan I get an upgrade every year. I gave it to my wife who picked the fascinated. Nice phone but it doesn't have anywhere near the amount of xda support.

I'm getting whatever kaos gets... jk
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandyM:
Am I upgrading?

I will be upgrading my htc eris....Two or three days after warrenty expires, phone just died....Verizon will not help, they just wanted to do an early upgrade....This is my second eris that has broken....I will never buy another smartphone from verizon or HTC. I will pay ETF of 250.00 and go with a cheaper company with better phones......Never had sooooo many problems with a phone before, or a company that is uncaring of it's customers....That is my rant on why I will not be upgrading...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kclive:
My evo is fully flashed and was on the standard $55 plan and I could get everything working, including *228. I had it switched to the $55 android plan and now I am no longer able to *228 or *22804 even if I change my prl file. I am not sure what the problem is but if anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kclive:
My internet was VERY slow once this happend...I mean it made dial up look like broadband. I tried to ##prl# so I could change the prl, but with the rom I am using it wouldn't let me update the prl that way. Once I made it back home I was able to update the prl using QPST and while this brought my internet speed back to a nice level it still won't let me *228 or *22804 for some reason. I have no idea what is going on and will still love some help or advice.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxRacR17:
......you dont flash that in clockwork.....You download the .zip, open it up, inside is a .apk, you transfer that to your phones sd card, then use a program like astro file manager to navagate to where ever you put the .apk and then click on it and install it that way. Make sure you allow unknown sources under the applications menu under settings also.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oosagi_chan:
I have the same question. I tried to search to see if there was a thread out there that talked more about this. Any help from the smart folks here would be great. :-)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2bangali:
Depending on which kernel you have, if you want good performance and good battery then leave it on conservative scaling with max 1200mhz (if ur kernel supports, if not, then 1000mhz) and min 200mhz (u can put 100mhz but i recommend 200).. after u do that, go to the profiles tab in setcpu, then press add a profile>Condition:Screen Off>Max:400>Min:100>Scaling:Conservative>Priority:ur choice(i put 100).. make sure the check mark is selected and ur good..

Hope it was clear!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oosagi_chan:
Thank you for the advice...going to give it a shot and see how things work. Again..thanks for the tips. :-)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYYFan325:
Also a bunch people had issues with the phone not waking if the "screen off" is set to 100mhz, myself included.... basically you have to do a battery pull to get it back on. If you have that issue then just raise your min to 200 and you should be OK.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2bangali:
no probelm.. anytime.. :).. i learn and pass on the knowledge lol..

and like the guy said above about the 100mhz problem.. if it happens to u the min from 100 to 200.. it never happened to me though..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KitsunePaws:
My profiles

If it helps at all this is how my setcpu is configured.

Main screen is 600-1600 set on conservative.

In profiles:

Screen Off priority 64, min/max 400, powersave scaling.

Charging AC/Full priority 50, min/max 1600, performance scaling.

Battery <75% priority 50, 400/1000, conservative

Battery <50% priority 50, 400/800, conservative

Battery <25% priority 50, 400/600, powersave

Battery <15% priority 50, 400/400, powersave.

Of course I'm sure there are other ways to do this (probably better) but I've found this gives me the best bang for my battery buck :P

I'm plugged into the AC adapter most of the day which is why the 25% and 15% are so drastic, If I were down at that low of battery I would most likely be near no power source and might end up needing to use my phone as a phone :)

Hope this helps, any feedback would be welcome if anybody has something better.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
So you like to stick with a low end of 400 mhz? I was thinking of going that route as not to risk upsetting the wake-up of the phone. I was thinking of going to 1.2 ghz while on. I don't need any massive performance boosts and am on Twilight Kernel which supports up to 1.3, as you're most likely aware.

[HTC Aria General] G226:
Hello, I rooted with unrevoked and then flashed the rom liberated_aria_FR006_signed.

I booted through clockwork and mounted /system /data /sdcard and then connected to my pc via usb, through the command prompt and adb I tried:

cp /sdcard/hosts /data/data/hosts

rm /system/etc/hosts

ln -s /data/data/hosts /system/etc/hosts

when I do rm /system/etc/hosts it says:

rm: can't remove '/system/etc/hosts': Directory not empty

What's wrong? Is /system not full perms through clockwork or is it a unrevoked root problem.

Thanks!
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
Lol...the error tells you exactly what's wrong...but kinda weird since the hosts is a file not a directory...so I can only assume that there are some permission issues...navigate to the /system/etc directory and do a "ls -al" and see what the permissions are for the hosts file...it'll be on the left side of the results of the ls.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
Oh fyi...I'm dumb...are you already rooted? I dunno much about adb but you MIGHT have to run the above command through a terminal program on your phone...
[HTC Aria General] G226:
I'm rooted but it's through unrevoked as mentioned, does that give me the proper permissions if I adb through clockwork recovery?

If not what would? I'll do a "ls -al" in a little.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
I'm not sure...as I said im not too familiar with adb...I do know if you have a terminal program on your phone just open it, type the following:

su

cd /system/etc

ls -al

Once you so the ls, if you aren't familiar with *nix, you'll see the following:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25 Aug 1 2008 hosts

Along with a bunch of other lines similar to this, this is the line I'd like to see though
[HTC Aria General] G226:
Thanks for the help so far, I did what you said and after doing "ls -al" it said :

-al: No such file or directory

If I do a plain "ls" command it'll list all the files/folders in the system dir.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
1 are you doing this in adb or terminal?

2 are you typing "ls -al" with a space? And "al" as in alpha lima?

3 are you in the etc directory?
[HTC Aria General] G226:
I did as you instructed, used the terminal program app and tried these commands through there, I'll try adb.

Thanks.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
Well the only reason I asked was because ls -al is a legit command lol...I dunno of another way to view the permissions of files...I also don't know if there is a way or not through adb, Google may be your friend in regards to that...
[HTC Aria General] anika200:
This may be related to busybox on the phone. Can you do an "echo $PATH" from the adb shell and paste the results here?

So from the command prompt you would enter "adb shell" this should give you a new prompt like this #. At this prompt type "echo $PATH" without the quotes. Maybe you do not need all these instructions, sorry.
[HTC Aria General] dexmix:
I see this all the time, from all the noobs (myself included)

First off the ARIA still has S-ON security, so if you are writing to /system/ you _NEED_ to be properly booted into recovery - otherwise you will not have write permissions. its in the FAQ but still completely overlooked. There is a post about this every day i swear.

STEP 1) UNPLUG THE USB <----- CRITICAL

STEP 2) POWER DOWN THE PHONE <----- AFTER STEP 1!!!!!!

STEP 3) HOLD VOLUME DOWN + PRESS POWER to load hboot

STEP 4) SELECT recovery to start clockwork

STEP 5) partitions --> mount --> /system/

STEP 6) connect USB

STEP 7) adb shell

edit: if you shortcut into recovery by just leaving the USB plugged in while you power down - you will not have full permissions.

[Captivate General] Rodskape:
Lets make a group list of Captivate Kernels and list which are the best with the Pro's and Cons.

I tried Cognition 2.2b and had problems with the music player which always showed an annoying notification and the call logs that also showed annoying notifs, another problem was wifi connectivity, but its safe to assume that these cells arent the best for wifi. And at Launcher Pro it didnt show my settings options when i pressed and hold the home key.
[Captivate General] JimmehDean:
One, you seem to be in the wrong forum. Please escort yourself to the general chat discussion, and leave this forum for devs to post roms/kernels/mods.

You probably flashed incorrectly. I have never had one issue with wifi connectivity ever. I use it nearly ALL the time. Holding the home key in froyo should bring up your task manager. I'm pretty sure that is the one thing that is dependent on the kernel.

I will post an on-topic response in the appropriate thread, if created.
