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,
I've got a problem with Launcher Pro - it restarts everytime I return to it from an app.
I tried getting rid of a few background apps to decrease the used memory and tinkered with the memory settings of Launcher Pro - all to no help
Anyone got an idea what might be the problem here?
Froyd 1.2.2 w/ shipped kernel
try uninstalling pro launcher and reinstalling that worked for me in the past
I updated to 7.6.0, and up till now, no fcs!

I'm using the same FV 1.2.2 Rom and I must say that the same thing has been happening to my Hero. In fact, since installing FV 1.2.2, I have been getting so many FC's from Launcher Pro and music tracks keep stopping in mid stream.
I also find that the phone just switches itself off randomly.
Almost returned to VR12.0 because I had NO trouble with it but saw an update to Launcher Pro (I bought the 'Plus' version) and just installed it, so lets hold thumbs.
i have the xperia x10a from att updated to free x10 2.2.1 beta 4 and for some reason about 2-3 times a day i get an error that freezes the phone that says application launcher not responding and i have to reboot my phone to make it go away, more annoying than anything, so
1) how do i get rid of it because i havent seen anyone else with the same problem?
2) would re-installing free x10 via xrecovery, or re-flashing fix it?
Thanks,

P.S. On a completley unrelated note, is there a way to get mediascape for 2.2.1?
Try both steps
For mediascape I have no idea.
i didnt see a post for the CM7 stable release market fix yet so i thought i would ask. basically i installed CM7 today and it ran great but the market didnt have all the apps i used to so i tried the market fix from other builds and then when i went to reboot it just froze on the "Android" screen.
dont know if i did something wrong or what, but it sux i had everything were i wanted it and did back up yet
oh well i start over every month anyway XP
Just install the CM7 Googe Apps. It's a universal installer, and you will get all of the apps for your system, including the Tegra apps. It's at the bottom of this page:

No market fixed needed for CM7 and I see more stuff than I did in VEGAn 5.1.1 with the Market fix.

Ditto. Something I had purchased on my Droid X wasn't available under VEGan or TNT Lite, but is under CM7.
Yesterday I was driving to work. My Fascinate was working flawlessly since I got it the day it came out. I have leaked DL30, Midnight v1.0 theme and DJ05 kernel which I have been using with no changes for about 2 months.
While I was driving, my phone reset, the default desktop screen for the theme came up. A few of my desktop widgets are gone.
Also I have these strange things:
1. My settings button on the app drawer does not open the phone settings. I highlights blue but does not open.
2. When I try to create a shortcut on my desktop it force closes my launcher (ADW, TW and LP).
3. My blue tooth headset is no longer paired (and I can not pair it since I can not get into settings).
Now I have no way to access my phone settings. I did not think that they phone would do the Froyo update since i was rooted with the leaked version already on it, but I can not check to see what is installed since I can't get into the settings.
I have tried many battery pulls and I installed AVG antivirus and that didn't find anything.
Like I said, this is kind of weird since everything was running fine as is for the last 2 months.
Any ideas or suggestions before I do a full Odin wipe and re-install?
Thanks
Why not just back up apps with TB and install ED01 or EB01 (which ever your choice).

That is most likely what I am going to do.
