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..
Hello everybody,
this is my first post ever. I've been following XDA developers for many years when I was still using Windows Mobile PDA's and later smartphones. This Forum has helped me with so much.
But now Im facing a problem which I cant find a solution for. Maybe this has been solved in another thread already, then I'm sorry that I must have overlooked it.
I purchased and Xperia X10i about two weeks ago. Everything worked fine out of the box.
Then I updated the software via the PC connection to 2.1
Before I of course backedup everything.
After the update I restored my backup and everything seemed to work proper.
Yesterday when I tried to access the Market place the screen popped up and it showed me the loading message but it simply didn't load. The screen flashed a few times then the app was forced shut.
I searched on several forums and followed the instructions posted by people with similar problems.
1. It was suggested that I perform a Hardreset. This didnt work through the method by pressing the left and right key simultaniously and the pressing and releasing the power button. For whatever reason my phone just boots normally
2. Factory reset through the menu: Settings > SD card & Phone storage: This option is not even present after the software update
3. Deinstalling Market update: I deinstalled the updates for the market application but that didnt change anything
4. Using the update function of the PC software to repair the update:
I performed another update through the repair function this seemed to make matters worse. Now when I go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications I cant even see the other installed application except one UEFA something.
Funny enough everything else on the phones seems to work well.
Details about the network.
I live in Kenya and use Safaricom as my carrier. There were no issues before I updated
I work in South Sudan and use Vivacell. I dont use Vivacell for data but rather use my wireless connection. Up until the update and even shortly afterwards that worked just fine.
Im really confused. Don't know what else to try.
Should I root the device and install Froyo rather?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, and again if this has been solved elsewhere then I'm really sorry for overlooking it. Please post a link if so.
Update for point 4.
Point 4. was simply my own stupidity. I had a filter set wrong. never the less the market problem remains
using the application from AppPit instead at the moment. This one works fine and donwloads and installs have no issues.
Would love to use the marked though because bit has way more apps which I need. AppPit is a bit limited

Hey so I flashed DAS BAMF GingerRemix 2.1 yesterday and everything is working fine, the only thing is there was a "Rosie Settings" application in my app drawer when I first flashed the 2.1 and I was able to change the right button to Dolphin Browser instead of the stock browser, but all of a sudden now it's just gone! It isn't in my app drawer, and when I click on the right button nothing happens. It was working fine for a while, I don't know what I did. I tried the one patch Rosie-original-button-replacement but that doesn't do anything. If I go into Astro File Manager and go to system and app I can scroll down and see Rosie Settings but when I click it it says Activity Not Found - com.logicvoid.rosieutility Do I have to change some setting? Did I do something wrong? The part I can't understand is it was working at first and now for some reason it isn't at all. I did a forum search and couldn't find any answers. Please give me some things to try if you know anything. Hopefully I am just being dumb and doing something wrong, because right now I just have a button that doesn't do anything, when it should be opening the internet.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same thing happen to my phone. I didnt try to setup the widget through htc.... i just thought it would be easier to reflash...(which fixed everything).... wish i could give you a reason why you lost rosie....i had a lot of fc's too.... i think it was all tied into restoring everything i had through titanium . i decided to only restore things on an "as needed" basis and haven't had a problem since.
I had that issue with 2.1 standard, but everything was fine with the remix version of GB. I would have stuck with the standard if it wasn't for that. I love the remix, but I hate the notification bar being in black font. hope they fix that soon.
I re-flashed it and everything worked perfectly. But THEN I tried changing the font in das bamf toolkit in the extra section and I must have done something wrong. It said it was going to download, install and re-boot my phone as soon as I clicked the font that I wanted. So I chose the font that I wanted and it turned my phone off, and my phone started re-booting and it never got past the first screen where it says HTC and the background is white. It stayed like that for over an hour so I pulled the battery and re-tried and the same thing happened, it just never got past the HTC part. So I pulled the battery and launched into bootloader so that I could go into recovery mode and hopefully re-flash and make everything all better. But NO! I forgot that I accidentally still have the PG05IMG.zip file on my sd card from when I flashed the GB radio, so it instantly wants to do an update and my only two options are to do the update and re-boot (which did nothing) or to just re-boot the phone. So I brought the phone to verizon and they took one look at it and saw that it wouldn't turn on and gave me a new phone. I just really hope that they dont look into it and see that I rooted it and void my waranty and make me have to pay for the full price of the phone. ANyways looking back now I realize that I probably could have gotten a micro sd card reader, put it in my computer, deleted the PG05IMG.ZIP file, and gotten into bootloader and into recovery and re-flashed the rom. But whatever, it is what it is.

I seen posts here about apps showing up as purchased that aren't. My case is different. I purchased apps, via Google Play, and now can't download them. Not just to my Xoom, but also my SGS2. I've tried all download fix options on the Google site, even talked to a tech (who asked I do them again, and then respond via email).
Another option would be to do a factory wipe/reset. Since I'm playing around with ICS, I decided to revert back to factory on the Xoom and try again. Still no luck. Just stays at "Starting download". No percentage. No little "downloading..." message under it. Can't even cancel it from downloading.
There probably won't be a real solution here, but while I wait for someone from tech support to get back to me, I may as well ask here. It couldn't hurt.
And I've tried the following options:
Cleared the cache and/or data
Uninstalled updates
Logged in and out of the "Talk" app several times
Rebooted
Tried requesting from the store web page on my desktop
Tried over different wifi networks
Tried over Verizon
Tried over AT&T
Tried with ICS 4.0.3
Tried with Gingerbread 2.3.6
Tried with Honeycomb 3.2.6
Tried with a factor reset/wiped Xoom (using .img files directly from the Motorola web site)
I have plenty of free space available
Did I miss something somewhere? I know if this doesn't get resolved, both of my android devices will have become useless to me.

Everything works now. Contacted Google about it, although they weren't of much use. Within a couple days it miraculously worked again.
But, even when switching back to factory, some apps I downloaded no longer seem to work for tablets. Go figure...
This seems to be a wide spread problem that occurs when first updating to the Play Store. I've seen numerous posts in different forums and for different phones about this issue. From the posts that I've read it usually seems to clear itself up after days of the update. Just give a day or two and try it again.
I'm currently on the "old GB" firmware, and s-offed. But I want to know what exactly is in the "firmware"? Just the radio files? I would like to upgrade to the "OTA" firmware, but I'm not sure if I can just do it like we used to do with the Tbolt, or if I still have to go though the pimg98(sic) renaming and flash that way.

I'm not sure if bootloops is the correct term, as it never actually reboots, it just goes straight to the boot splash gif, and stays there. It happens every time I open nav now. I did "flash" gnow, and that is the only big thing I have changed since the issue started occurring. Is anyone else having an issue with this, or is it just me? I searched bootloops for the rezound and *didn't* see any other thread started on the issue. But I could have missed, I apologize if this is a duplicate.

This will get you what you need to know: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837316
Quick and dirty, uninstall updates. Go to Settings - Apps - Maps and select "Uninstall Updates" then jump over the Play Store and find Maps and make sure Automatic Updating is turned off, this will set you back to the ROM's default Map version. If your ROM is custom and doesn't have Maps preinstalled, just Google for Maps 6.9.2 and download the APK and side load it in, it should work fine.
EDIT: Oops, looks like you changed this post up since I saw it, sorry if this isn't relevant anymore.
Yeah, I didn't see the thread/s in the gen section, I just searched then posted. So, I thought I would ask another question since I couldn't delete it. Of which I have now found the answer to. Thanks though.
