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.

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..
I've been using the Facebook App from Microsoft Marketplace for a long while now, we're talking a good 8 months or so.
A couple of weeks ago it just stopped working. It will open but it won't refresh any statuses or anything.
I have flashed my phone with the newest NRG Rom but it still doesn't update. To update it, I literally need to log out and then back in to Facebook.
Any advise, ideas or suggestions.....
Exactly the same problem here! Anybody a clue?
This problem / situation is bean mentioned several times now.
This problem is caused on some updates that Facebook have been done, and it caused problems on our device.
Solution: ???? waiting to it will be fixed we have seen simulative problem in the past with tweeter
Suggestion; us the the internet page. www. Facebook.com
Thread moved to Q&A.
I know that there was a problem with Twitter, but that's all sorted now.
Fingers crossed Facebook will pull their fingers out and get it sorted.
The strange thing is that if you log out and then log back in, it works again. But every time you load the application again, you have to log out and back in. Annoying but the closest thing to a solution.
Also what's the probability that it will get fixed with WP7S out so soon?
Its not looking too good.......
this problem is weeks old and hasnt even been mentioned in an official capacity afaik.....
Probably an MS conspiracy to have all the facebook junkies rushing to the store for a brand new wp7 handset.............

Oh that would be hilarious, for Facebook to update their site so WP7 is no longer compatible
New Facebook App available, but after update program doesn't start
It seems that the problem was fixed and a new version is available through Microsoft Marketplace. I've successfully installed it, but then it doesn't start. Error message just says "Facebook could not be started".
It installs not into \Windows, so there are still files from the old version (from the ROM) available. I suspect there is a conflict with these older files.
Any way to get this fixed?
Thanks

Hello guys and gals,
Sorry for the delay.
Here is the Skype application file for Tattoo (.apk) file.
I tested it and it's working using SPQRom Froyo 2.2.1 through 3G and WiFi Connection.
When you first start the application and login it might show "Force Close" because Skype is not responding. Just click "Wait" until Skype download all your contacts.
After that use it as normal.
Here is the .apk file
Skype 1.0.0.659 - Newest Version
Have Fun!
i downloaded it from market
but voice chat is lagging on the tattoo
Working well
I tested voice chat using WiFi and its working really well.
Please post 1.0.1 version too...
I don't know why but I cannot find 1.0.1 anywhere. I was looking last night but I could not find it. I tried from skype.com/m but again the skype version downloaded was this one..
Are you sure that 1.0.1 is out?
1.0.1 has not come out yet. is there a leaked beta?
Downloaded it from the market. works good, takes some time at first to load contacts - if you have a lot, better check to show only online users.
Lacks settings. It would be great to be able to disable loading chat history. Good to have just in case.
According their official blog, Skype 1.0.1 is out.
http://blogs.skype.com/garage/2010/11/skype_101_for_android.html
Of course nobody can find it. According the fixes I think they forgot to change .apk file version. Because I had Skype for 1 month now and this version has all this fixes.
its not working on retail tatoo roms it can not to be installed.
not working on mine either
Is Skype 1.0.0.614 working on Galaxy S model GT-I9000 version ? When I download it always says "Out of space " although there is alot of sapce..It's driving me crazy )) Any tips or help pleeaaasee ?

Updated to the latest version guys.
It says "Skype could not be installed on this phone."
which rom do you use?
Stock rom with root
Skype is only for 2.x roms
The link is brosken!

With the 1.4.1 updated looming, I rooted my Nook last week by following the instructions Indirect created. It was extremely easy and I was enjoying root access. Today my Tablet popped up a message stating that it had updated to 1.4.1. I still have Super User access. The only app that is not working so far is Android Market, it crashes when you open it. I am afraid to restart it though. I don't know what will happen. Has anyone else experienced this?
The market crash today is why i came here nosing around to find the bad news. ( it worked last week as i installed the latest vmware VDI client from the market ) Mine was rooted as well, so i can confirm the same exact symptoms.
Some of my other apps no longer work right, such as video playback from esfile explorer, and button savior's "back" button doesn't seem to do anything now. I also had 2 other apps on the home screen that wont even load their icons now.
same issue here.. updated to the last version.. i didn't tried the methods to prevent the update.. in fact i don't follow enough for this
market is uninstalled or hidden at least
button savior shortcuts for "settings" and "previous" doesn't work anymore, but "home" works.. too bad !
I've been to the B&N community website to help .. let's hope for an update in a better way
I sounds like there were be a follow up update to resolve the side-loading issue that got broken, and probably is responsible for the problems you're experiencing. I hope mine doesn't update. I'm rooted, but also followed the sqlite method.
I hope so too. Please let us know, I am interested if the that method does indeed block the updates. Before I go downgrading and starting over I would like a clear view of what I need to do to block future updates. Thanks.
have done it all and recorded it all. Everything posted by the developers work and I prove it on video. Checkit out. Recovery to 1.4.0 is uploading now and will be on my channel in the morning. OTA block using titanium backup works perfectly.
Try the sideload wonder machine. You need the apk file of the app you want to install on your computer.

Rooting won't stop 1.4.1
Unfortunately even with rooting, 1.4.1 self-installed on one of our NTs.
Unfortunately I sold my Dell Streak 7 a week or so ago.

Rooting won't do anything to stop updates if you rooted before, say, late last night, when the rooting method post was updated to include blocking. So... the title of the thread is not that noteworthy If you did not block bn's update apps, did not do anything to block updates, then yes you will receive updates.
My wife and I both have rooted NT's. I did the fix that Indirect posted where it changes your version to 9.9.9 and my NT did not receive the update so far. My wife on the other was relying on the rumor that having the FOTA.apk would block the update...wrong. She just received the update tonight when she turned the wifi on. So I guess this can confirm that Indirect has a successful method (simplified sqlite) that will block the update.
I got Android Market problem since yesterday though I'm showing firmware 1.40 under device info.
UPDATE:
I did an unroot then root it again, follow Albert's video to block the OTA, ver. shown 9.9.9, everything seems working so far. Thanks Albert & Indirect for their hard work!
My wife's NT updated yesterday despite being rooted as well. I thought the OTA upgrade was supposed to be blocked with the root...Looks like I'm going to try downgrading it right now...
I also saw the link over in the dev forum ( that i cant post in ) for downloading 1.40
Who all has done this and got things back in order? I think that when i got mine i *had* to be on WIFI to set it up, which of course is bad since i will just get the 1.41 update and be back where I'm at now.
If that isn't the case, perhaps a step by step for us borderline newbies to get back to 1.40 + no OTA

Just found that link about 10 mins ago too.. thanks much. i'm trying it now and crossing my fingers.
Seems i got a reply from B&N about my complaint just now .. but all they wanted to do was tell me i can download the free app for my PC to read books.. wtf .. what happened to reading comprehension in customer service ..
Albert, I followed your instruction and video and all works exactly like your video. even down to the nonfunctional n button. Thankfully, the interrupted boot sequence worked. Now I've just gotta fix this force close issue...
Mine is back to normal now yay.. ( i cant edit posts yet apparently )
I did have a problem where the 'revert' to 1.40 was not actually erasing any user data so i had a complete mess of things. But, i was able to go into settings and deregister to get it back to stock. Then got it back to 1.40 and ran the root/etc.
Still miffed at B&N, but at least i no longer have a borderline worthless shiny object.
Basically they let you watch cartoons and anime on your mobile devices. They were great. But a few weeks ago they got updated to version 8.0. Ever since then whenever I try to start the app, it force closes. It didn't do that on the previous 7.8 versions. But unfortunately I can't go back and use those because when u start them, I get a message telling me to update. And there's no option to dismiss the update. So yeah. I'm pretty disappointed over this. I've been missing my shows like dragon ball super and pokemon xyz. I contacted the developers about this with an email three weeks ago and never heard back from them. Does anyone here have a fix for this?
You can get the apps from here.

Update!!
Okay so after weeks of searching, I've found a solution for the app toonmania. You need a modified version of the app. That's at version 7.8 and doesn't check for the update at startup. I found one here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieHDLite/comments/5cqwh6/as_requested_toonmania_v78_adfree_mod_by_ries/
It also removed the ads. It works perfectly. But now I need one for animania. I don't have a reddit account. So I have no way of contacting that person to ask to also create a modified version of animania. Perhaps someone here would be able to?
Also you need version 7.8 of animania if you're going to try to modify it. Because version 8.0 doesn't work at all. You can find that specific version easily by searching google.
Found it!

Thanks byron
This saved me the frustration.
May be there would be modded 8.0 that doesn't crash.

First I've ever heard of these apps, thanks! :highfive:
Oh, you guys are welcome. But you should thank the reddit guy who took the time to modify these.
So any solution for Animania guys?
You can get older versions of those apps from the site Aptoide.
But if install older version than 8.0 after start information for uptade downoload, and cant refuse it
Cartoon app
Have used toonmania. It's pretty good, but not as useful as watch cartoon online. I had that app from apknite. For me, it's even better than 9Anime.
