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..
Hey Guys,
Having an issue that I just can't seem to figure out. First, my phone specs:
Running EB01 Modem & JT's EB01 Voodoo Kernel w/SuperClean 2.2 Voodoo, ASOP Lock, Power & Battery Mod (via Domush walkthrough).
Now the problem: my phone just shuts off completely when it feels like it and the only way to get it back on is to do a battery pull. Searched the forums and throught it might be the proximity sensor, but flashed it back to stock and it was fine. It seems to happen randomly. It's not the battery because each time i turn it back on it have plenty of battery life. I've tried freezing all my apps and it still does it as well.
Is there someting i'm missing? Anyone else have an idea?
Thank you in advance
My first suggestion is backup your apps and do a wipe wipe wipe. See if that corrects problem.
Let us know

I had that happen a couple times as well with SC 2.1. I only ran it for a couple days before SC 2.2 came out. After flashing 2.2 over 2.1, and wiping the cache a couple times, I haven't had it happen again. Then again I only upgraded yesterday, so it may yet happen again. Time will tell.

So far so good....I wiped x3 everything (cache, davik, everything) and it seems to have worked. Thank guys. I'll let you know if it acts up again.
Come to find out it was a rom prob, fixed in the forums, called the sleep of death.

FWIW, I did not have the problem with 2.2, and now have upgraded to SC 2.4, and the issue still has not returned. It does seem like I have to hit the power button twice to wake it up once in a while, but it never fails to wake up.
Posted from my EB01 SuperClean Fascinate with Voodoo
It seems to have only happen when you do the steps in a certain order. It's all fixed with the patch.
Actually, it's NOT been fixed with the patch. If you read the thread, the people that thought it worked had it come back after a few hours of use. The only way I've been able to "fix" it thus far is to go back to the stock ebo1 rom. FWIW, the problem for me seems to resurface after I access any media. The first time was after I listened to music through Poweramp and the latest was after watching a video in media hub.

Hmm, I'll have to check it out....I went through my photos and it worked fine after that. I use Audiogalaxy so I don't have music on my phone. I'll go run a video and see if that triggers it. Good looking out JJRocker
This so far has been an issue that's really hard to find info for and it's driving me nuts...lol. So yeah, even though I'm far from being an expert, I'm trying my best to figure out what's causing it so that I can work around it or better yet, help the devs out since they are the real experts here. Adrynalyne put a test patch up and asked people to report on it, so it would probably help a lot if everyone having the problem would post their results in this thread. He's the guy that's probably most likely to figure this out. Also, that link has the patch if you want to give it a shot.
One thing I should probably mention is that at least in my case, once the SOD surfaces, it happens about every 4th to 5th wakeup until I reflash the rom or go to another one. So if you've experienced it already, there's a good chance you won't be able to cure it without a reflash.
Ive noticed there is a certain population of folks who have it, and a larger population of those who do not.
I've been researching for hours on end, with no clear common resolution.
For some, not using Titanium to restore apps fixes it.
For some, my test patch works.
For some, a double reboot fixes it.
I had it happen once, ever, and it was on stock eb01. It never happened again. I myself have noticed increased instability on eb01 using maps and gps, however. A couple days ago, launching maps, and turning on the gps afterwards hard locked my device.
@adrynalyne
Exactly.
It seems that mine is fixed with the patch in both of your SuperClean 2.3 & 2.4, I've tried different media and it seems fixed. Only time will tell tho.
And thank you for all that you do with this phone. It had such great potenital and with you and folks like jt, it's making this phone amazing!
It's strange....I had it happen once this morning and now I can't replicate it. I have used Titanium to restore apps but I only restore one app, AndroidPit App Center. I need it to download ADW EX and Beautiful Widgets since they take PayPal and my debit card doesn't do foreign currency.
Anyway, someone at Android Central suggested avoiding ADW because people were reporting issues with the SOD and that launcher. So, I'm gonna run LP+ for a while and see how that works out.
I have been using ADW EX and no real problems...
...but I didn't think about it, I did clear out me Titanium Backup and just reDownloaded stuff this time. Maybe the backups are the culprit?
Well, right now I'm starting over on SC 2.4 and trying all the remedies I've seen posted thus far. I wiped data and cache, flashing SC 2.4. I'm going to skip the backup assistant since it might try to restore apps that were restored by Titanium. I'll run LP+ and flash a theme (VA green is my current fave...love the BA). Gonna restore my apps manually from the market and I'll even double reboot when I'm all done...lol. Anyway, wish me luck...the real test will be tomorrow at work. I use HandBase to keep track of things so I put my phone in and out of sleep a lot during the day.
And also, many thanks to Adrynalyne and all the other great devs here. The work put into this stuff is much appreciated. I wouldn't put this much effort into getting this working if SC wasn't such an amazing ROM.

When I redid it again my aps were automatically restoring themselves. So to save you some sanity, make sure you go into privacy and turn off "Backup my settings" and "Restore my settings" as well. It may be dimmed out, but it will sutomatically restore them as well. It's doesn't really do much from what I can tell (I still have to manually add passwords to wifis, which it says it backs up)
Ya know, maybe that's the cuplrit of this whole shabang
Ok, so I had the SOD on LP+ too. Out of curiosity, is anyone with this problem using Switchpro widget or another power control widget that changes brightness? The one thing that seems to always precede the SOD for me has been installing and putting this widget on my desktop. Also, one time I did have it before I installed the widget and checked my screen timeout settings...there was nothing checked which is the same as having the screen never turn off. Apparently, backup assistant restored the setting automatically from a previous flash. Also, I think Super Clean has a power control widget on one of the homescreens by default if I remember correctly. Everything was running great, couldn't get it to SOD, so I started installing some of my apps and put the switchpro widget on my main homescreen, and got SOD on the very next wakeup.
I believe I may have found my culprit!! But before I say, let me recap:
I backed up using TiB. Flashed everything back to DI01 and got the OTA update. Restarted, then flashed to DL09. Reboot, Flashed to Deoxed EB01. I also kept the origional kernel, didn't meess with it because I believed that it was the cuplrit, I am assuming I'm wrong. Everything was good. Slowly started adding programs back seeing which one will kill my phone. I finally found it......it was YouMail.
If you are using this product, you can have it on to your system and it will work. But as soon as it receives its notification of a New Voice Mail notification from their servers. It locks up. Hopfully uninstallation and a reboot will take it away, but only time will tell. I'll report back in.
This is weird. I am running the Ineffabilis ROM with the 1.3 dsb SmartAss v2 kernel. I was running Ziggy but it froze up/rebooted at least once a day regardless of settings.
This is an absolutely killer setup, it looks awesome & is rocket fast with no freezeups/reboots whatever.
I had installed CPUMaster PRO & use it for speed/governor settings etc.
Last night, I decided to try undervolting slightly to see if it made any difference whatever in the already pretty good battery life. I went through it & set every clock speed at -50 for voltage. I also added a 1x1 home screen widget to constantly read out what speed it was currently running at.
It was plugged in/charging all night, & when I turned the phone on this morning the widget was gone (there was a blank spot on what had been a screen full of shortcuts etc.
I'm like WTF, but no big deal I will just recreate the widget. When I go to do that, I cannot find the app anywhere. It was completely gone from my phone & I had to DL & install it all over again......
I have occasionally had the Android bug where a photo taken to the card disappears (that has happened to me with three different phones & at least three different cards) but never had an installed app disappear before.
Has anybody else seen this particular problem/feature/error etc........ ???

I just read a post about disappearing app in the last hour but when they went to reinstall it said they already had the app. Sounds like yours was actually gone?

I'm not 100% sure now, but I THINK it reinstalled it totally from scratch.
I use AppMonster as it automatically makes/saves a backup APK of every app I install to my card. Then, I don't have to find/DL an app in the future. I just go to the BU folder & click on that apps APK & I'm good to go again.....
~John
I'm going to try that app out. Can you selectively restore apps or do you have to do them all?
While I'm on stock I'm trying a bunch of apps out and once I root and get a fresh ROM installed I'm not going to want to put all of the apps back.

Yes, you can selectively reinstall anything you want. It is an awesome app, I much prefer this to doing a batch reinstall with TIBU.
In the preferences, select "plain style backup" & set it to automatically BU any new app you install. That tells it to copy the APK from any app you install to a folder of your choosing.
Then, after a ROM flash you just go to the folder & selectively click on whatever apps you want to install. I have used the app for a couple years & it's awesome.
~John
can vouch for app monster pro. Great way to back up. Some apps can't be restored (they will be marked protected), but most can and it will keep old versions as well so if an update is crap you can revert.
After inadvertently installing 2.3.5 two days ago and breaking root access, I finally got my phone SBFed back to 2.3.4, wiped data, re-rooted, restored the nandroid backup I just happened to make a few days ago, downloaded the OTA Rootkeeper, and updated to 2.3.5.
First question, did they fix the battery glitch from 2.3.4 or is it still a problem?
Second, I'm using LauncherPro and in the middle of the bottom of my home screen, I was always using the App Drawer shortcut. Now if I click on that, all I get are four apps instead of a listing of everything I have installed. Anyone know what happened there? In the meantime I have to switch the shortcut to App Groups just to view everything.

1. Nope - its back ready to fudge up your day
2. Some settings might not be sticking. Or you might have the wrong shortcut icon.

Wow, still no battery fix? That's beyond ridiculous. I was expecting the answer to be "yes" though, yesterday was the first full day of use with 2.3.5 and I ended the night at 1am with 40% battery left. I used it more than I usually do throughout the day and the meter was only two notches down after a 9 hour work day.
I wonder how I can fix the app drawer thing. I know it's not the wrong shortcut, but if something isn't sticking I don't know how to fix it other than uninstalling LauncherPro and reinstalling.
Greetings,
I'm hoping I can get some assistance with the " SonySan RLS 2.0 Sprint/VM [CM9][1/13/13] " ROM.
Here's my breakdown first:
EVO3D Sprint
S-Off, 1.50 Dev Unlocked
I've run other ROMs in the past, some have worked better than others.
Recently, I had been running SonySan RLS1 and it was not bad but had a few quirks I was hoping to alleviate with the 2.0 release.
Following the basic routine: Backup, Wipe All but SD, install from recovery. Let finish, reboot, configure.
Sadly, my experience thus far with 2.0 has been mostly terrible.
Some issues:
1.) The OTA Updated program doesn't work. It didn't work for me with RLS 1 either. It reports "Error Fetching update info: Invalid ROM ((SonySan)) & device (shooter) combo!
2.)The Xperia Home/ Launcher crashes very regularly, and EVERY time I attempt to swipe to the right screen from my home screen. I'm not sure if there's some widget or something there causing the issue as I've never actually been able to see it.
3.) The built-in Wifi Hotspot doesn't seem to work. At all. For me, it just hangs at "Turning Wi-Fi On..."
4.) I still have the Google market rather than the play store. I grabbed the Playinstaller for the ROM, flashed it (via 4EXT Touch recovery) and still had no change. The Market crashes 98% of the time before I can do anything with it.
I've also flashed the latest appropriate gApps too.
Often, Market and the Xperia launcher crash immediately following a reboot.
I've tried re-flashing just the kernel, and I've since also gone ahead and reflashed the entire ROM (without a full-wipe).
Nothing seems to have helped. I've reverted back to 1.0 for now so at least I'm mostly stable.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply.
2. Do you have a link for an updated version of the Launcher/Home?
3. So the hotspot is known to not be working and there's a separate app/download that needs to be downloaded to get it functional?
4. I've never had to remove the old market manually before, do you have a quick HowTo?
Man, would be nice if these things were listed as "not working / need fix" in the original description.
Thanks, and I"ll consider re-flashing to this ROM again perhaps when a new version is released.
So release 3 was made available a couple days ago and I decided to give it a try.
The results were much better than what I had with release 2 but still some things seems lacking/not of my preference:
1) The market issues persists. I've ran the "playstoreFix" a couple times now and nothing seems to change. Maybe there's more to it than just flashing it? The directions are ...absent. As it is, it's still showing market and crashes regularly.
2) Unless I'm missing something..I don't even see a basic clock/alarm built in. I guess I assumed this was pretty standard from all ROMs. Yeah, there are plenty 3rd party ones available but why not just keep the one that is integrated with the OS??
3) The OTA Updater app STILL doesn't work at all. It gives the same error I reported back in release 1.
4) Bluetooth seemed spotty but I haven't tested it much to really confirm the issue. Same wit the built-in wifi tether.
