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.

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..
Anyone else having issues loging into facebook for htc sync?
I am getting "The service is currently unavailable. Do you want to try again?" accross multiple different ROMs...
You can test by going through setup on a new ROM or just deleting the Facebook for HTC Sense account and tring to add back...
Yeah, facebook for HTC Sense is totally hosed right now and has been for a few days. There are many people (if not all Eris users even if they haven't noticed) experiencing this issue.
okay so I have tested the following HTC based ROMs by completing a full wipe and goining through a clean setup and when I try to sign into HTC facebook for Sense I get the same error with each
- jcases origional plainjane
- EvilEris
- xtrROM
- xtrSENSE
- Plain_JaneT2 V2.0
Can someone else confrim?
Yeah im getting the same error, on Kaos Froyo v24 and Aloysius Snow. This is a problem =/
I just got off the phone with HTC. They said that they are well aware of the sync issues and are trying to resolve them. I was informed to kinda just sit tight and wait till its worked out. : ) Just thought Id share : )

Found this over on HTC Sync's Facebook page. Just thought I'd let everyone know. Seems to be HTC-wide. This was an EVO user on Friday.
Zach, I'm running xtrROM3.0.3 and facebook is syncing just fine for me. All of my accounts(mail, facebook and last.fm) sync properly. I did update my radio to the new 2.42.01.04.27 a few days ago. I dont know if that has anything to do with it, though my reception did increase by 10dbm!!

FYI The issues DOES NOT effect you if you are already connected... it is when you first setup your accounts and sync via HTCfacebook (gennerally durring the setup process).
After completing a NAND that you can restore back to; you should be able to reporduce the issue by removing the account and trying to add back...
Im running Senseable 3.0 and i no longer receive facebook updates via Facebook for HTC Sync. Other than that i think everything is fine with it. Im about to do a nand and deleting that account and see what happenss.
*Edit* Yup don't delete your fb for HTC sync account.

The issues affects everyone. What these people are seeing is the previously sync'd pictures prior to the server issues. If you go the updates page and look at the day of the last sync'd status updates, you'll see they are days old. Nothing current.
I had to delete mine to correct another problem last night and it has not worked today. However it will sync my facebook profile pic to "my contact card"
I just received updates via htc facebook for sense. Can someone else confirm the sync problem is fixed?

New to the site. I joined to see what I can possibly do wit my Evo, and had this problem recently too. I confirm, things seem fixed. All my contacts are syncing with FB for Sense.
All - looks like HTC Sense and facebook are back online! Sync and initial account signin when flashing a ROM are working for me...

Good to hear its finally back. That's the first time I've seen a problem like that htc side (assuming its was a problem on their end) since I've had this phone. Plenty of problems facebook side but no surprise there.

Solved??!!
The first time you install
Facebook for Android
you put in your username and password then push next.
So put them in, and push next.
THEN
don't go to the next screen.
PRESS 'BACK'.
Sync your Contacts.
TRY THIS!
AAAAaaannnnd... that's a fail. I chose 'Sync All' and it still didn't show up. It looked promising though!

Not working for me, xtrsense
awesome, working for me now
I've been using the Facebook App from Microsoft Marketplace for a long while now, we're talking a good 8 months or so.
A couple of weeks ago it just stopped working. It will open but it won't refresh any statuses or anything.
I have flashed my phone with the newest NRG Rom but it still doesn't update. To update it, I literally need to log out and then back in to Facebook.
Any advise, ideas or suggestions.....
Exactly the same problem here! Anybody a clue?
This problem / situation is bean mentioned several times now.
This problem is caused on some updates that Facebook have been done, and it caused problems on our device.
Solution: ???? waiting to it will be fixed we have seen simulative problem in the past with tweeter
Suggestion; us the the internet page. www. Facebook.com
Thread moved to Q&A.
I know that there was a problem with Twitter, but that's all sorted now.
Fingers crossed Facebook will pull their fingers out and get it sorted.
The strange thing is that if you log out and then log back in, it works again. But every time you load the application again, you have to log out and back in. Annoying but the closest thing to a solution.
Also what's the probability that it will get fixed with WP7S out so soon?
Its not looking too good.......
this problem is weeks old and hasnt even been mentioned in an official capacity afaik.....
Probably an MS conspiracy to have all the facebook junkies rushing to the store for a brand new wp7 handset.............

Oh that would be hilarious, for Facebook to update their site so WP7 is no longer compatible
New Facebook App available, but after update program doesn't start
It seems that the problem was fixed and a new version is available through Microsoft Marketplace. I've successfully installed it, but then it doesn't start. Error message just says "Facebook could not be started".
It installs not into \Windows, so there are still files from the old version (from the ROM) available. I suspect there is a conflict with these older files.
Any way to get this fixed?
Thanks

I have two Android devices, both on basically stock roms, and both are having problems getting into Yahoo messenger (the official Yahoo app). I'm able to log in and out on my PC's, but both Android devices get as far as the contact list, and it keeps saying "Loading Online Contacts..." and hangs there... EVERYbody shows up as offline, and when you homescreen out and back again, it often leaves you at the login window.
I've reinstalled and rebooted and whatever... still the same. Two devices.. can't be just me, right?
I am having the exact same problem. Started by saying session timed out around 5 am today
here too.. hope they're just working for a new version.
+1 on the new version, the current one sux bawlz... inly shows account name and not real name like the desktop version... video calls only use the main camera (my damn Galaxy Tab has a front facing but still very useless camera!), and no file sharing.
With all the new Tablets running Android, you think they might see the light...
*knock* Is this thread on-going? I installed 1.0 and 1.1 without any problem but once i installed 1.3+video plugin it shows only offline contacts... Have you experienced this also?
Same for me
front camera dont work in my droid 3! :-(
it seems there's no fix. i really wanted to use video plugin on yahoo messenger and if it works there's a thread here that says "front camera now works... something like that"
Halp!
I'm losing my mind trying to figure out the issue here. SMS works fine. Hangouts will only notify of a newly received message if you open Hangouts and are on the conversations list screen (main screen). If you are in a conversation it won't even update of the newly received message until you back back to the main conversations list screen. Doesn't matter if it's on WiFi or mobile data. This is a brand new phone that I bought about a week ago and for the record I'm using the same phone I bought a month ago from the same seller on the same firmware. The only difference is that mine is rooted and I've frozen or uninstalled most all of the bloatware and VZW bullcrap. Otherwise they're identical and one has what seems like an app bug but the other one does not.
I've tried numerous things before posting here (to include lots of searches that only seem to turn up similar issues for those who updated to Lollipop) including uninstalling Hangouts updates as well as Google+ updates as per one thread I saw. Neither had any affect on the issue. I went into the user's Google account to see if any other devices were signed in currently and it doesn't appear to be the issue.
My next step is to root and see if freezing the same apps corrects but where it sits right now would make a warranty exchange through the seller a little bit easier I would imagine.
I'm not really sure what else to try short of accepting the OTA update (Lollipop) which will w/o a doubt introduce more problems than it fixes based on what I've read. Not only that but my LG G3 is functioning just fine on 4.4.2 so I see no reason why the same device shouldn't perform the same on the same firmware version. Makes no sense.
Can someone help me out here?
Thanks!
