im not going to lie dude you should just sell it while you can still get good money for it i sold mine for 145 which is about what i paid for it after tax and everything so i was pretty happy with that
+1 sell it =)
Agreed, just sell it.
I'd keep it. use as an MP3 player, wifi internet device, video game, PDA, flash drive, .......
Unless you have a similar, all rolled into one device already, The Eris, sans phone & g3, is still a very useful device.
I'm going to be giving mine to my four year old who really likes listening to her MP3s and watching videos on YouTube that involve singing kitties... LOL. February 10th can't come fast enough...
Install google voice and use it as a house phone\multi media device.

It still needs voice service with Google Voice, right? GV isn't VOIP, it just manages calls to all of your phone numbers. And if you activate on VZW, it'll require a data plan as well.

You can download and use the new sipdroid (option for new PBX linked to my google voice) and google voice for true voip with google voice. all incoming gv calls ring to sipdroid, all outgoing gv go through sipdroid when attached to wifi. no need to activate with vzw.

i had the same problem. What worked for me was that I backed up skype + data in my galaxy tab using titanium backup and restored the backup in my tp2 android build. I could login then.
thanks for the tip! i will try with my G2 backup then..
update: i need to root my G2 for titanium which i wont cuz i dont really need it
could you share those files so i can try?
Well my backup contains my skype account details so that's of no use to you.

Buy a native Android phone?
We can't expect every single 3rd party app to run on our devices...
I'd like to know why a backup of the app works while installing it fresh doesn't... if there is a workaround, that's always better than simply "not working".
Perhaps someone has a skype apk? I've never used skype, sorry.

There's a bug with WEP, no RHOD can connect to WEP without some fixing.
If you have a choice, GET RID OF WEP IMMEDIATELY!
It's extremely insecure, and should be avoided at all costs!
However, there is fixes. Read the FAQ.

Trouble with 3G video calling is the price, last I could remember it was like 50p a minute and never took off when 3 UK started promoting it initially. Mind you, the data plans have got up now (though 3's all-you-can-eat sounds good) I suppose.

I need video calling like skype or tango, skype would be awesome but no release for android yet.
I am a social networking freak, no gaming, tweeting and facebooking mostly and youtube. and skype
so what shall i go for SG2 where people tell me android is too buggy with its apps and there is no skype but there is tango or ooovooo and a 2 megapixel camera
or the damned iphone that trace ur ass and kill chinese staff. very complicated choice and i think id love somebody to tell me that get the SG2 becoz skype will release a video calling feature for android soon and that the apps are not so full of bugs as some say.
or somebody tell me get the heck out of this forum and go get a damn apple toy!
thank you

Skype are working on video calling and there have been a couple of leaks but it appears it'll be a Verizon exclusive for a few months much like the app was.
I'd go for the SGS 2 but that's because I love Android. It's so much more customisable and the range of apps is pretty much the same. Go into a store and play with both; see which one you like best.

i dont think so , and yes its quite steep, and the quality isnt great either, was very jerky when i called my girlfriend in the same room. we both got g2's.
qik video was much better through wifi, not tested it both on 3g / H yet
.. as for included minutes, it says this on the webpage
if you're on pay monthly
Your Plan 60, 120, 200 or 300
30 minutes per month for 3 months
Orange Premier – 600 or 900 minutes
60 minutes per month for 12 months
im on 1200 minutes a month so i might ring em and see if get a few minutes, but it doesnt use your regular minutes i know that much .
Guys are you saying the Video Call button in the dialer is only intended for British networks?
Can I "setup" that button to call using Skype, if I am not on Orange or some other network that supports the original Video Call functionality on SGS2?

It tough to say if there is a decent app out that can do that. Usually those apps only work well if you have them on speaker phone because the phones hardware is set up to not be able to record the other party directly, just what is coming out of your microphone.
One way to test is use the built in sound recorder app in the middle of a call. It does the exact same stuff as the call recorders.
Only way is using mic to record. Otherwise you need kernel support to record a phone call directly in android.

Either you or the other party has Google Voice & they pressed #4 on the dialer.
It makes that announcement (awkwardly loud) for legal purposes, since in some states/cities it's either: illegal to record without consent, at all or simply illegal to not inform them of the recording taking place.

Interesting......
Seen a kernal somewhere that supported call recording... Somewhere in cdma development. And if you allow the permissions to mess with phone calls that is you being informed and agree to it, as seen when you download almost any app, just keep an eye out for the ones that say anything to do with phone calls,

this may have already been stated, but i feel so strongly about it that i'm replying before i finish reading. cloud computing is going to fail because of companies taking away unlimited plans. the main time a person would need to use cloud computing would be while they are mobile, and with tiered data plans, why would you risk it? if you're just a person at home with a prehistoric hdd too small to fit your music, then i can see how it would be useful. i have enough space to store 1000s of mp3s and flacs, and would get more use out of a micro sdhc/sdxc than cloud computing. Apple, Amazon, and Google all need to get together and offer unlimited mobile data, or convince VZW, ATT, and anyone else to revert if they want this to work. even my cable ISP occasionally sends me a postcard about how my account has used above average data, and i should check my wifi security and use anti-virus/anti-malware. i keep reminding them about hd quality streaming, lossless audio (that i paid for), youtube, and the year we are in, then tossing it in the trash. cloud computing is a nice idea, but i wouldn't put money into it. it's going to get to where you have to pay every company for every mb you use if this continues.

Its great for someone who is on wifi and dosent want to carry around 32 gigs of music around on their phone. Its also nice to have a digital copy backed up in the cloud in case your HDD ever decides to crash. To go even further, if you are a flashoholic and like to flash a lot of roms, then having all your music backed up to the cloud can be a nice way to quickly access your music.
It may not be for everyone in every situation, but most places have wifi and this will/has appealed to a lot of people.

Man, you got me all excited! However, I just tried the txt feature on my vehicle and txt didn't work. I have a 2010 F-150 which has SYNC but is pre MyTouch. For whatever reason it seems that only old phones (ie RAZR) support this feature with, at least, my truck.
awesome man! my dad has a 12 Taurus limited and getting a 13 Taurus limited within a few weeks after its built! i will test on both when i get the chance and report back! as you might know the 12 doesnt have my touch but the 13 does so i will be able to tell you for sure within a week or two hopefully!

Why would you want to? Ford sync supports bluetooth streaming audio
I can't even get my stock DNA to pair with my 12 focus titanium.
hmm, must have an upgraded BT stack. It is needed to support the text reading.
Yeah, we have had absolutely no problem with BT streaming over my rezound or my wife's tbolt on our 12 Explorer with mytouch.
If that doesn't work for you, you can always just pop in a usb stick with as much music on it as you want.
The dna does not support the map bluetooth profile. You can't do texting with the Ford sync system, I have tried.

But its harder to fix if they don't know what's broken. The techs and service writers have their hands tied on a lot of this stuff and social media etc will lead to better products as well as features. Tell them what you want !!!

Very strange behavior, but today, for the first time I got a text message. It was one my wife sent me earlier in the day. I can't think of anything new I have done to either my phone or my car.
I was able to reply to her from the preset responses when the car was not in motion. I didn't receive any other text she sent or the response she sent from the preset response I sent her (she got that message and it said it came from Sync).
I am using Handsent for texting on my phone.
I did this before updating to the new DNA firmware (which I did tonight and I will check texting again in the AM).
VERY strange...
I've had my 2013 escape notify me of text and read them back but could not send them. It doesn't always work either kind of hit and miss.

You have to be stopped (not in motion, like at a stoplight) for you to be able to respond back.
I just wish I could figure out why it works some times and not other times to receive texts. If it works once, then it should be able to work all the time.
