Bretheren -
I have a crazy problem that has been going on now for a week - neither the green "send" button nor the "answer" soft key will pick up the incoming call on the handset. I have no issue when I answer via my Jawbone. I am running No2Chem's '47 build, and when hard resetting, it works fine. Obviously something has changed in my registry since loading my progs.
Anyone have an idea if and where this setting is located in the registry? Thanks in advance!!!

Resolved with a hard reset and reload of proggies. I sure would like to know how to overcome this in the future, though, without having to resort to drastic measures.
samething happened to me, hard reset was my only cure, hasnt done it since...
i dont know what app was causing it but it happend to me only on 2.17
What apps did/do you have installed when you had this happening? I have it going on now - same exact thing... perhaps we can find the common app and determine what's doing it... here's my current load:
DCD Verizon 2.2.6
Skunkworks FlashVideoBundle
Google Maps
duttythroy Task Manager
KRebeiro EsmertecJbed
MediaHam
dcd Office Mobile 6.1
PHM Registry Editor
Schap's Advanced Config Tool
XFTeam SkinzSudoku
TCPMP
Singer's Creations Weather Watcher
.mUn. BT_DUN
ADW Standard Games
Yahoo! Go 2.0
WR-Tools ResInfo
dcd Adobe Reader 2.00
I have the same problem. I'm probably going to end up waiting and hard resetting when Sprint releases the upgrade ROM -- I'm too chicken to try a cooked ROM on my only phone.
It started sometime after installing one of these (I installed all 3 in the same night). I know, I know... Bad idea in the first place.
photocontacts_ppc_v305_ms_signed.cab - trial - my first bet since it took over the phone (uninstalled now, but still no fix)

Here are the other apps I have installed, but the list is so long it may not help at all. This is the list of installers and not the list of apps reported by uninstall. If I listed it as '(uninstalled)' then it was installed and removed since my last hard reset sometime last September.

I am betting it's this one:
Schaps_AdvancedConfig_v2.0.2.0.CAB
I flashed to a newer DCD after posting in this thread and I did NOT install the above program again - phone works like a champ.
I am not sure if it is the samething,....I used to have lots of problem with my phone. I've only used the DCD versions since 2.0.0 and was about to give up. However, when DCD released the 2.3.2 kitchen without the telus roms available at that moment. I though I would cook one up, and since then, I have not looked back. I install the same programs and it has been working perfectly for about a week now... {touch wood}
I used to have a lot of problem described in this thread as well as not connecting via active sync. Since then everything is working as it should.
So, I am not sure it it has to do with my own cooked rom...but it sure seems like it as my phone have never worked this good since I got it on day one.
Update::
I finally got tired of waiting for the new Official ROM while forcing my friends to wait for me to call them back and did a Hard Reset back to 2.09.651.3. Phone answers every call for me now! Wooo Whoo!! I need to perfect my skill at this hard resetting for when the new ROM is released. It took me 3 hours to finish getting everything set back like I wanted it, although kudos to the PPCPimBackupV2.8_wm2005.zip for saving my data (although I would have liked a warning that it will only restore email data AFTER you create the email account - doh!)
Again, these are the three apps that were installed just before my phone quit letting me answer calls. I didn't re-install these three after the hard reset:
photocontacts_ppc_v305_ms_signed.cab - trial - my first bet since it took over the phone (uninstalled now, but still no fix)
Schaps_AdvancedConfig_v2.0.2.0.CAB (uninstalled, but still no fix)

Oh poor apps, I had you installed for some reason. Maybe someday, I'll remember why and give you life again.
I am still trying to decide which contact manager to use. I'll probably try RandomAccess next...
I had a lot of apps installed and uninstalled before the problem surfaced. I'm now betting the culprit was the AdvancedConfig as it seems to be cropping up in too many of these broken answering "feature" threads.
Oh one more thing...
I installed the AdvancedConfig to my wife's phone before I received any calls to notice the problem and she has had no issues with non-answerable calls.
Only difference I could see was that in my phone, AdvancedConfig had settings for HSPDA and also for GPS enable and hers did not. The phones are supposed to be identical. We bought them at the same time, both had problems and got exchanged in the same week. Both of hers came with a differently oriented power supply (cord came out the side of the wall socket plug whereas mine hung down from the socket) even though they were picked up in the same store in the same week.
So while I am quick to blame AdvancedConfig, it's still installed in her phone and she has not had the issue.
schaaps seems to be the common denomiator here...
AdvancedConfig was my problem. Works after reinstalling.
Thanks,
Kizer
I had this issue many moons ago when titan for vzw was first out. It was AdvancedConfig 2. I have not tried any version after as I was afraid of the "not able to answer calls" issue. Goes without saying I have not had any issues since.
Just wondering if anyone has anything (good/bad) to report about the OTA update. Figure this would be a good place to post those issues for the people who are still hesitant about updating. I have the 2.1 v3 non-root and have yet to update. Thanks.
Having issues with 2.1 I can't find ANY HTC widgets. Tried to reload the digital clock with the weather app at the bottom and realized the phone doesn't have any HTC widgets, only shows the android native widgets. Anybody else having this problem, got any advice how to solve this?
I just manually updated to 2.1 (Official) and now my weather app doesn't work. Widgets are ok, just opening the app causes a force close. Any way to fix this? Might call customer support tomorrow and tell them the OTA got to me and it won't work now.
From what I've seen around a reboot might fix that if you haven't tried that already

Haha thanks, but I've tried it several times. Also, the recovery doesn't work with the official update.zip. I'm assuming that it's because the versions are the same, but if it says RECOVERY then I'm wondering why it won't RECOVER like I'm trying to do now. Any other ways to reinstall the OTA?
I manually updated my wife's around 10 am today and about 3 hours ago, she started havin no sound issues. couldnt hear through the earpiece, phone vibrates instead of rings, speaker will not play volume. I have tried everything. Making sure all settings are in place like volume TTY. Reboot fixes it for about five minutes then right back to the same thing. Hard resetting now. If it still does it I'll probably take it in and demand a new one i guess...lol
EDIT: Should I have to reprogram on a hard reset after this update? Hmm somethings not right about that...
Ive had no problems with the OTA. I went from stock 1.5 to OTA 2.1
It seems that people with leaked 2.1 v3 won't get the ota. My friend has an Eris with 1.5 and just got
it but I didn't.

I don't think anyone who is running any leaked version is getting an update right now. There is an issue with the hboot versions it seems.
Don't worry, two things have been confirmed.
First the OTA will not work with the leaked ROMs installed.
Second, the OTA is exactly the same as the 2.1 leak v3.
This was confirmed on Android forum by someone that took the time to compare every single file and CRC the binaries. The only difference was that the leaked ROMs use a different bootloader to install as they did and the actual OS and apps are exactly the same so if you got leak v3 you got the OTA.
The OTA won't install because you are already running it.
if you have rooted 2.1 (test keys) and you downgrade to back to 1.5 any one if this will allow you to get the OTA update? i installed the rooted 2.1 (test keys) but never installed a custom ROM (the second half of the directions on XDA forum) and I still haven't received the update. but I was thinking of downgrading to 1.5 to see if i can get the update.
anyone having problems with live wallpapers on 2.1? or was this not included with the 2.1 for eris?

Unfortunately it wasn't included.
just found out about 2.1 this morning...
I'm a verizon rep for an authorized premium retailer, and one of my customers came up to me today with her eris complaining about all her contacts being gone and her album not being there... her exact words: "What happened??? I clicked the update thingy and now half my ****'s gone!" Personally I laughed slightly, then checked the software version, found it updated to 2.1 and figured the deal. Her sound is working fine, she now has a couple more widgets she wont know how to operate, and albums is now "photos", and contacts is now "People". also required a resync to get her contacts back, but now she's golden.

thanks for the info
Quick question about TaskBar (process killer) widget. Anybody know how to program it to ignore certain processes? Like sense... I tried using it but it killed sense every time. Along with mail and the weather process, which I don't care so much about, waiting for sense to reboot every time is a serious pita though...
I previously had 1.5 stock eris. I downloaded the official OTA zip and manually installed it. I had a few issues at first.
1. I had Spare Parts installed and had set my End key to first goto home screen and then lock. 2.1 did not like that setting and so my end key wouldn't do anything except turn it on from sleep and end a call until I changed the setting to just lock the phone.
2. Couple apps wanted to be updated to a new version after installing 2.1 before they would work.
3. Here is my unresolved issue - All my apps that I had installed before 2.1 no longer have write access to my SD card.
For example Astro File Manager showed my permissions on /sdcard as dr-. Reloading the card, rebooting, etc did not fix the issue. Uninstalling and reinstalling seems to have fixed the issue.
Why did this happen in the first place and is there an easier fix than uninstalling/reinstalling all my apps?
I've had the same disappearing HTC widget issue as was mentioned earlier, but a reboot (with a battery pull) didnt fix the problem. Is a hard reset my only option?
my girlfriend installed the OTA and now only the stock ringtones work when receiving a call- she set up custom ringtones for a few contacts, but if they call, the default ringtone rings.
I was running the leaked 2.1 eris rom on a MyTouch 3g and had the same issue, so i'm guessing it's not an easy fix. anyone else seeing this?
2.1 OTA back to 1.5
Hi everyone, I had many problems with 2.1 I manually installed 2.1 OTA from 1.5. everything went smooth, once running first thing i notice I click on the HTC clock weather, and it force closes, ok great, found a trick to delete the cache for weather provider, boom works, then i find out I do infact have the 50% time without signal issue, well I figured it wasn't too big of a deal, but after basically cutting my time in half going from 2 days no charge, to barely making one day, and I've heard that it would just take time as it did when first getting the phone.. which makes sense as it was the case with 1.5, week later not much improvement, so..
I would just like to comment on my experience. It went so smooth, it was in-fact easier to set back to 1.5 than it was to initially, manual install the OTA 2.1... I downloaded the MR2 file, unzipped the file, went through the computer on screen step-by-step process, Took less than 10 minutes, and of coarse as soon as turning the phone back on with 1.5 I see the OTA msg. I'm, just praying it doesn't get too annoying..
Hi there,
I would like to skip the latest update, coz' I don't see any real improvement there. How can I hide or disable the constant notifaction icon?
I am rooted, of course.
Love,
D.
Even if you don't see any benefit, there are often bug fixes and security fixes inn a new release. So I take the opposite view, if an official update does not break or remove some needed functionality I install the latest version.
Can't you download the update then just not install it? Would that get rid of the notification?

Nope
Downloaded it last night, (to the phone, OTA), but did not install it. Went to bed, got up the next morning and the notification was still there.
Yeah, you are probably right. Took the plunge yesterday and it took me the whole day to reinstall the apps and settings. First thing I did afterwards: Got Titanium Backup ;-)
Btw: GingerBreak works like a charm
since installing the new market i've noticed that after reboots sometimes i have to reupdate apps that i updated maybe even days before.
anyone else?
Are you sure the apps are rolling back are you "have" to "re-update" them or is there just a new update available for these apps? It isn't uncommon for a developer to have an update pushed out then realize (after it's running on a large sampling of phones) that it broke something else or a new bug has popped up and, therefore, release a new update.
Check the version number (bottom of the market description) and see if you are in fact needing to reinstall the update.
positive.
today after a reboot i had 10 "new" updates and they had all been updated either earlier this morning or in the past 2 days.
and some of those had already been updated twice.
and when looking at the recent changes nothing was newer than the last update.
I've noticed the same thing as well. Thought it was just groundhog day or something! Tried clearing the Market's cache and it didn't make a difference.

the phone seems to have issues holding things after reboots. just like hte home screen icons.
another problem.
it seems to also lose saved contacts that are new if you haven't had them backup over google yet.
some real issues with internal storage somehow?
I only seem to sometimes get half the image, almost like it has not completed downloading.
I can set it to another picture and back to bing and still get the same issue, seems to be hit and miss so far if i get the full image or not.
Anyone else getting this?
For the few days I had 7.8, the image would show up just fine initially, but it wouldn't update to the next day's image the next day.

I would often wake up at 7am see it hast updated and play with the settings... but over time I got fed up of fixing it and found it updates itself in the late morning, around 10am.
