My first smart phone was the eris. I hated iphones and and pretty much everything else seemed overpriced. So i decided to step into the world of smartphones. I was persuaded by my research of the phones that were out at the time to go with a droid eris as i didnt find any other phones that were strictly touch screen. This was around November. I was shocked by how insane the possibilitys with this phone. I hadnt rooted as it was not possible that the time. Few months later i choose to look back and see what the news was. I came across this place to see that root had been found and how excited i was to have discovered this place. I looked into rooting and how to install things like the recovery img and what a rom was! The people seemed to be very kind and helpful to bringing this phone out of the dark age that was the restraints on this phone. after about months and months of fooling around i learned to own my phone like a 7 year old owning his father at halo. But issues were brought to light sadly and the eris community seemed to slow down with the excitement as is expected of an EOL phone. my sadness slowly over came me but i never left this place hoping to see what the left over momentum would bring out. New roms and small tweaks seemed slow at first then a sudden rise started. Unsure of what it caused brought a rush of new content to this site. The devs seemed almost overjoyed with the small titan that is the Eris. The wave slowly picked up and almost topped off till one thing came to view.
FROYO
This is the start of a beast of a update to the eris. It has givin this phone a burst of reason to buy and even use the phone once more. I hope i can speak for the entire eris community. THANK YOU!! thank you for making this phone the one toy/tool worth showing off to everyone i meet. You devs keep it up and if any help is needed from the community dont hesitate to ask. I will strive to do all i can to make this phone a power house in the android community!!
I echo your sentiments almost exactly! Except I didn't get my phone till a couple of months ago, and I don't play Halo because I don't want to get embarrassed by those same 7 year olds online and then talked smack to lol. Other than that, I am hoping this Froyo concept gets some more members interested in working with this phone a bit more before it passes away. I believe that they have stopped selling it, but geez, there are quite a few of us that can't afford to spend $100s on the latest and greatest phone without a new contract, so let's make the most of it while we can!
dont be so fast to give it an insane rating...Although we might have:
Overclock (to 806mhz)
Apps2SD (save internal memory by installing apps to SD card)
Live Wallpapers
Root
Navi
and now Froyo

What kind of videos are we talking about here? Flash or downloaded formats like AVI and MP4? I use Meridian and haven't had any issues with downloaded movies, although I've really only tried a couple since I don't care to use my phone to watch anything longer than a youtube video or something along those lines.
Rockplayer basically plays everything, avi and mkv are supported I believe. Of course mp4's are.

hm...I'm running damageRom 4.6 r2.....I used the rock player apk from the xda home page from last night...and I got nothin man..it doesnt play a 350mb avi file..
I'm running Sense-able 3.1, and I can install Rockplayer, but when I try to open a video file the screen goes blank for 1-2 seconds, and then goes back to the directory listing. I've never been able to get it to play a video.
To counter this, I've just been encoding my videos using mp4 h.264, and playing them using the gallery. It's been working fantastically so far.

Hmmm...when you "encode" your own files, I'm guessing youre converting any file onto either h264 or mp4 without making any changes to the resst of the file...like size, bitrate, etc....

Now formatted for Honeycomb and/or tablets. It looks good but I think notifications are still messed up

Notifications or not, the new Words app looks fantastic.
It does look good! Lol how hard is it to get the notifications right, though?

No kidding. It is almost like they work the exact opposite of how they should. I always get a notification of my turn right after I play a word
I agree it does look good and depending on how often one uses chat, maybe even better than the iPad version.
Andy
I guess words with friends seems to not just like me in both tablet and phone world. I've always had weird experiences with it that keep me going back to Wordfeud even though it doesn't even support landscape.
Started a game yesterday after it took almost a day to find another player. S/He played a word then I did shortly after. Went back into game to check if the person has played, turns out it was my turn even though it showed that I just went with points and all. Checked back a few hours later and said it was my turn, but with the word and points gone. Tried to play a word but I couldn't since there was no button to play that word. Uninstalled.
Looks great!
Sigh. People ***** and moan when they took it off the market. Now they put a HC optimized version online.
Words with Friends (Update issue)
I see an update is available in the app itself. Though when I go to "My Apps" in my market it does not show any updates for Words with Friends. I have a Droid Incredible 2 by the way. I am a bit curious if there is something wrong with "My Apps" in the market. I haven't seen any updates for my apps in the last few weeks except for one app called, Battery Indicator. Is there a possible issue with my My Market and apps. I can't seem to even figure out how to do the update for Words W/ Friends (as of today 7/6/12). Would really appreciate any help! Thankyou!
The Honeycomb market is probably the buggiest thing on this tab, for me anyway. Clear your data and cache, and force stop the app through your app manager. See if that helps any.
Well, saw a topic about someone's phone reading there text messages out loud, and it reminded me of something.
My buddy said he went to his girlfriend's parents for Thanksgiving and after dinner the girls were all in the kitchen (lol I can hear the jokes already), and the guys retired to the living room. I guess there were over 16 or so people there at least.
While in the kitchen, his girlfriend messaged the boyfriend in the living room, telling him how she couldn't wait to get him alone later (but in much more raunchy terms).
Well, whatever app he was using just read it out loud, for everyone, including her father, to hear freely.
By the time he got to the phone, the damage was done. She came out of the kitchen, and her dad asked her "Do you need to be going? I hear you just can't wait to get home" with a smirk on his face.
Well, she turned red according to him, and they left shortly after.
Anyone else have something funny happen with their smartphone in the last couple years? Inappropriate ringtones during an interview, texts being read out loud, sending texts to the wrong person, or even someone borrowing your phone and maybe seeing a website you have viewed that you would of rather kept hidden.
I'm all ears. I love hearing other people being embarrassed
Happy Holidays !
i have sent a few naughty texts to the wrong girl before.. and one time a friend saw a few of my dirty pictures from my girlfriend back in the day

sent from my sexy HTC Rezound. Bata bum ba bum, Im loving it.
Well I started using go locker shortly after release which has an option to adjust volume while the phone is locked which I use mainly to save me the hassle of unlocking to turn music up or down while driving or at work. Well currently my ringtone is cigaro by system of a down, edited to start right when the lyrics come in.
If you don't know the song you won't understand why this is so embarrassing, but we happened to be at church and something in my pocket turned the volume up full blast and right in the middle of prayer I get a call and by the time I got my captivate out and ignored the call it was to late. My wife and I left immediately and the jokes have ensued ever since then.
If you just listen to the beginning of the song you'll completely understand why after that I disabled the volume feature and haven't been back at that church since. If you are the kind of person who is easily offended by something I highly recommend not to listen to it.
And yes I know this is in the rezound section but I spotted it in the unread tab on the app and couldn't help but share.

Lol funny stuff. I love me some SOAD, and i'm familiar with the song. And right in the middle of prayer, wow that had to suck.
Thanks for sharing. Gotta find an app that changes your ringtone on Sunday to something by Three Days Grace
Yeah it was pretty horrible timing, everyone quiet except the preacher and then bam, and couldn't of been a worse ringtone to have play in the middle of church.
I actually have a few more embarrassing moments but nothing close to that one. SOAD for the win lol, btw I saw a thing online where they are talking about getting back together and doing a new album since the recent tour went so well.

Swyped from my Rezound 4G
Girlfriend called me and pissed me off(not my current girlfriend), and I ASSUMED she had hung up the phone since that would have disconnected the call on my end too. Nope, so 15 minutes into me talking **** about her and what she had done with my friend I got a text saying we were through. It was actually a blessing(I use that term loosely because I am not religious) in disguise, but now I make sure I always hit the end call button, lol.

Yea, I cant do anything like that. Her dad is all about smartphones the last couple years. He has a droidx and everytime we go up north to see him, he likes to tinker with my phone.
I have to clean up the phone a bit before the trip. I'm sure there are certain things he just couldnt un-see.

I randomly happened to tell a friend via text about how I was going to McDonalds for the first time in over a year. I decided to prove it to her by taking a photo of something with a logo on it to text to her....I clicked my gallery app shortcut and a really raunchy porno resumed playing fro where I left off the night before.. The volume was maxed out and there was a little old Mexican woman behind me pretending she didn't see anything. Of course this being my new Rezound I panicked and it took me a good 30 seconds to make it stop.. The 720 screen is pretty nice though.
I LOL'D... Anyway, this should be in the offtopic, so everyone can share their embarrassing moments with their androids...

Not me but my daughter... My grand daughter picked up my daughters phone and followed her into the bathroom.... not realizing that a) she was taking pictures or b) they were auto posted to her Facebook page. When she logged into Facebook almost 3 hours later she found them. Luckily, nothing was really exposed but it could have been. Grand Daughter is 2-1/2 but she really likes the phone and has no problem finding wow wow wubbzy or something like that on YouTube.
lol...I really don't understand why anyone would ever autoupload pics to Facebook...maybe 1% off pics I took would ever get posted.

Omg, this haunts me. Careful for browsing history
Hello,
Just got mine and I am mostly happy with it but have found an issue with the touch screen having a dead zone.
Mine was shipped with 8.8.3.27 which was not rootable so I started playing with my device and found a huge dead zone area that effected all applications. This has made me want to return my device but I said .29 has been knocking let me see if this fixes it and before I post on XDA.
After updating to 8.8.3.29 the dead zone went away and the only thing it can be was the update or the reboot. I should have rebooted first but I applied the update.
The dead zone when held horizontal was at the top right if holding in portrait mode the dead zone is still there and was above the clock on right hand side about 25% of the way up.
The app I used was "Multitouch Visual Tester" and would like someone to confirm as not only did this seem to fix my dead zone but the touch screen is a bit more responsive now.

mine is on ,29 after I updated the first day I got it on 12/22. you can manually "Check" to see if there's an update. go to settings, then about tablet, then system updates. once in there, press tab that says check for update. I check on a daily basis to see if anything new pops up. don't want to wait till prime finally decides to tell me there's one..lol
I'm having similar problem, but I'm already on .29. Trying that app right now.

I understand that, i have been trying to do that, but it see's no update. So I am stuck on the .27, O'well. I am going to try and return it here in a week or so and get another one and hope I get a later batch then when this one was made.
You can manually update to .29 go to Asus support down the newest update and unzip it then drag the files to your SD card stick it in the prime and a notification should pop up to update.
Its pretty simple if the card don't read reboot the prime and it should work.

that's very strange you on an older version and your prime hasn't prompted you to update through OTA. almost everyone I seen here got prompted almost immediately.
Hol up, lol you might have the version that can be rooted with RazorClaw. give it a shot n see what happens. worse case scenario is that it tells you. an error that it can't be rooted with razorclaw.

Correct i am looking for someone still on .27 to see if the deadzone exist.
I found it just with one finger dragging it back and forth, like i said it rather went away with update or the reboot.

Thank you, it must have been a fluke. If anyone else gets dead zones chime in.
I've been having this issue myself. I have updated to .29 and still no help. After using Multitouch test, I noticed a few dead areas in the top left area below the Asus logo. Tried eveything I could to fix the issue. I noticed after browsing the web for a while, the whole area below the Asus logo (about 2 inches by 2 inches) would become unresponsive. If I hit the power button and unlocked the unit, that dead area would go away. I've already contacted Asus for an RMA and will ship it tomorrow. I would have taken it back to Gamestop but it doesn't look like I could get my hands on another one for a while anyways.
When I first noticed the touchscreen issues, I immediately came here. Read all the threads, including the ones about 8-point multitouch, and in one of them, can't remember which, someone posted about having changed the driver to not time out. Is this mod available anymore. I remember the poster saying that the phone was extremely sensitive when you do that mod, but I think I could get used to it.

I remember about the 8-point multi touch, that was member kennypow3rs! Cannot recall seeing or hearing about the other one. Sorry.
There's a zip you can push through root explorer if you're stock rooted. I'm unlocked on the CM7 rom and it doesn't have that issue anymore and now I have 8 touch points instead of 2.
Ill find the link in a bit and update post.
Found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383246
right, i've seen the 8-point zip, i was referring to someone saying they got rid of the error where when you leave your finger in one spot too long, the touchscreen stops responding. say when you're trying to run around in Shadowgun or GTA III. i could have sworn someone said they played with the touchscreen driver to get rid of that time out.

I know. Cm7 fixed that issue and added 8 points.
I spent almost 2 hours last night attempting to do the 8-point thing. I then started on Hennsey and said F* It and watched 2 and 1/2 Men!!!! Cannot remember after that!
I believe the timeout was a necessary evil as the screen freaks out without it.
