I have the OTA leak v3 or whatever (2.36.605.1) and haven't been able to see copy protected apps....until today.
I ran the *#*#checkin#*#* code and went to the market. Copy protected apps like skype mobile are now there which must mean that Verizon has let the Market know that the build is an official build.
I think that only means the update should be coming out VERY soon. I am betting it will be within a few days.
Droid Eris OTA May 11, 2010

If true this is good news. I've been riding leak 2 for a while and can't wait to see the phone reach a point where there is one platform for people to try to root from.
I'm hoping one of our great Devs will post the "Official" 2.1 once it has been released. I have the 2.1v3...so I don't think I'd get the notification to update, but I'd like to install the "Official" one.
Sorry for the NooB'ish questions. If somebody could answer all of these questions I would be very grateful. Thanks!
I am running the original 2.1 leak - (2.41.04.02.02).
* Will I be able to recieve the OTA update or is it only for people running 1.5?
* Will it automatically update my phone or will I be notified that there is an update available and then I have to manually update it?
* Because my phone is not rooted, is there a way to backup all my apps and other info not saved to the sdcard? If so, what program/app should I use for this?
Thanks again.

From what I know...(I could be wrong)...:
You will not get the notification to update if you are running a leak.
..so you will not get any notification saying it's out, other than here. the option to update to the official can only be done if someone who receives it, saves it and posts it here. (not certian how that is done, but they did it for all the G1 updates that I used)
..only way to back up apps that I know of for non rooted it Linda File manager or Astro File manager. But, you can just re-download them from market. I have installed every leak on my phone and just went to market and started downloading...purchases showed up for me. Either way, you have to re-install all of them again.
The thing is no one really knows. Depending on how they update the phone all of them (leak 3 and earlier) will get update notices, only leak 2 and earlier will get them, or only official builds will get notices. We'll find out starting tomorrow it sounds like.
Even if it doesn't come OTA to phones with the leaked versions, we should still be able to do it manually. Verizon's own testers are running the leaked versions, so I imagine they're going to make sure those people aren't "stuck."

What's a *#*#checkin#*#* code?
if you type that as though you are going to call it, it will run a program that checks for updates. The program normally runs at least every 24 hours but you can run it manually by typing it in.

Still don't understand....*#*#______#*#* You have to type checkin?
I'm lost...sorry
Double post....sorry
So I typed in the*#*#checkin#*#* and I was given a notification "checkin:success" What does this mean (I don't think its the update because Settings->About->Check for updates still shows nothing)
Edit:
Oh I have 2.1 leakv3

Nevermind..I have the 3rd leak too.....man have to stop drinking after work! LOL
Ok, after awhile I noticed the checking...
OP is correct. I purchased Documents2go full version before I had upgraded to the leak and have been without it for awhile now. just checked my downloads area of market and it was finally there again. so looks like the documents saying it comes out tomorrow might be true.

You can always download the offical FULL version from pcdphones.com
I posted an email from customer service in the other thread but here's an exerpt about the OTA
". I'm pleased to let you know that we have recently approved the upgrade to Android 2.1 (Software Version ROM: 2.36.605.1/Radio: 2.42.00.04.12) for the Eris. This upgrade will be automatically sent to customers in stages beginning on May 11. Your phone will notify you when the upgrade is available to install. "
**obligatory n00b disclaimer**
I'm still running 1.5 with plans to root soon. If I snag the OTA will it hinder me rooting once 2.1 gets rooted for the Eris?

anybody know if this 2.1 will include live wallpapers?
There are two minor things that are bugging me about this maintenance release update.
1) I can't seem to update (or download for that matter) the HTC Tip Calculator Widget to version 2.5. Luckily, I had it backed up on Titanium so I have version 2 still. But I would like to have the latest and greatest. Anybody have that APK or a work around to update this?
2) In the contacts list there is now additional contacts that can't be deleted. Such as #BAL #DATA #MIN #PMT. They have a SIM Card icon on it and can not be removed. Anybody know of a way to remove it?
Thank you in advance.

Number 2 has been extremely annoying me as well. Have not figured out a way to get rid of those.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is anal about this then.
Installed the stock Rogers ICS UXLF4 update through kies today. It is missing SNote. I tried to install versions of SNote from my previous ROMs but all lead to FC. May be a deodexxed issue?? Anyone have any info on why SNote was not included on this Canadian ROM and anyway to get it reinstalled?
Samsung Apps ?
I got mine from Samsung Apps, have you tried that yet ? No S Voice yet though
There was no S-note in samsung apps when I looked. Samsung apps even updated and I even registered. There was MyStory among a host of other s-pen apps but no s-note. Anyway to send a link to the download?
s note
I am not too sure how to post the link that I found through my phone. All I did was search s note, try typing it exactly like that ? I am on version 2.7.032, if that helps ? Samsung Apps, not play store right ?
Since I am using the phone on ATT I must be blocked. I see every other s-pen and note apps out there. But no S-note.
Got to thinking about S-note. It requires lib files that can't be installed with an apk. So I don't think you can get it on Samsung Apps. I know a few said they did but it must be another app. I am taking an educated guess that it will be a software update soon available OTA or by kies. I tracked down the lib files and installed snote from the latest ATT ICS update and all is working well.
Great
I just realized (dummy me) that I could login to Samsung Apps thru my pc,
hxxp://www.samsungapps.com/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=G00008171807
I think this is the proper link & changed the http to hxxp, I hope this allows you to see what I see, as well as a friend of mine, we are in Canada tho, not too sure if that makes any difference ?:fingers-crossed:

I was able to see the S-note app. But is says it is only for the GT-I9220. What do you see on that page for available devices?
I was also able to get Kies to show samsung apps. Had to hack my registry to say CA instead of US for Kies and now samsung apps shows up. But it still says the SGH-I717R is not supported.
Hmmmm
Yes, I see GT-I9220 also, very strange because I have it on my I717R. I have noooooo idea how I could help now, any suggestions ?

Trying to figure out which way I should go. I can't login with my canadian login on my phone itself. It says wrong country. I can login to samsung apps now (country hacked) and see samsung apps. But it says my phone is not supported. Can you login to samsung apps through kies and see if the I717R is supported? Either samsung does not support branded phones through kies or the I717 series is temp pulled from the site.
Kies How ?
Unfortunately, I can't seem to log into Samsung Apps thru Kies ? I can't find the option ?
I am guessing that we are both blocked on samsung apps through kies. The I717 phones are also not compatible with samsung apps on kies probably because they are all branded devices. I am sort of blocked on samsung apps on the phone cause I am in the USA. I can log into SA of US but not of Canada. US does not have the s-note download. So basically samsung shut the door on canadian phones in the USA from downloading s-note and possibly other important apps.
I have the version from the ATT ICS ROM installed. Not the same version but good enough for now.
modem ?
Just a thought, have you thought about trying to put the ICS Rogers modem in your phone (not sure if it is possible) ? Mine is showing I717RUXLF4.
I don't know if this would help at all ?
I have that modem. My phone is 100% Rogers except for being rooted and my location is in the USA. Haven't changed my sig yet as I don't know which direction I am heading.
My wife just complained that she no longer can answer calls the one she has since she owned this phone (and every other).
When a call comes in, there is a little indicator in the top row by the clock and battery indicator that flashes, rather than a full screen notification with a green and red button. To answer she has to pull down from the top and click the incoming call.
I've had a look at all the things I typically would expect to see settings under, but there is nothing.
Anyone seen this and know how to get it back to the default?
Under Default Apps > Phone is set to "Contacts". I am unsure if this is correct?
Thanks for any assistance!
What variant does she have? U998, H930, VS996, LS998, etc?
What FIRMWARE version is she on? Nougat, Oreo?
If Oreo, what is the letters, numbers? 20A (early Oreo), 22J, etc.
Is her bootloader unlocked and is she rooted? I assume not, but still need to ask. She's running full stock firmware? No mods or anything?
Hi. It's a NZ Variant v30+ actually, all the updates have been done and it says up to date, but I don't have the phone in front of me. It's not rooted, nor is it running any custom firmware. (Last update says Google Security Update Feb 2019
Is someone able to confirm that Contacts should be the default app under "phone"? In my Samsung it's "dialler".
Product code from the invoice is LGH930DS.AAUSBK
I checked all the solutions I could find about blocked notifications, and to the best of my vision, I can't see anything blocked anywhere.

I've seen your situation mentioned elsewhere. Let me do some research.

Try two things...
1) Next time a call comes in, long press the notification bar and see if there's an additional notification slider that can be turned on.
2) Go to Network/Call/More. Under "Alert" category, see if "Pop Up" is chosen. If it's not, then choose that. That gives permission to notify you on the screen if you have another app open and call comes in.
I'm hoping someone can please help me. Everytime after rooting my N10 from TMo, it auto updates and i lose root. I made sure in dev options auto update was not on and i even tried to free the 2 updates in settings. Can someone please help?

If it downloads the update clearing the system cache should purge I've been told but not tested it!
More than one way to skin a kat.
If you're rooted use one of the rooted apk blockers; I have very little knowledge in that area.
You can block the update app with ADB if you want.
Karma Firewall can be use to block the app itself from internet access, Karma uses almost no battery, freeware, an excellent apk. Can be set to run at bootKate.
Your carrier can also disable them on their end if it's a carrier phone.
I use Package Disabler on my 10+ to block the garbage. Use the none Samsung phone version.

Updates break phones.
Rule #1 if your device is running fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be!
I'm still running on Pie. My current OS load is over a year old, still fast and stable in spite of heavy usage. Very low maintenance.
Security is generally just not an issue unless you do something stupid with Pie and above.
As course there is no saving dumb bunnies... even with the latest updates
do you know how i can block it in ADB?

I don't use it. There are tutorials here though.
There are a bunch of system managers for rooted phones that should lock it down.
This one does I think:
Autostarts - Apps on Google Play
Keep control over your phone: See what applications do behind your back.

i will give it a shot. There's an option to block updates?

It lists all startups. Be careful it's a powerful apk on a rooted phone...
In developer options is a toggle for automatic updates. Turn it off.
With that deactivated, it'll give you a notification prompt about new updates, but won't force the update like it usually does when you reboot your phone.

If it's a carrier OTA update app that won't work.
The AT&T one has every permission under the sun. It behaves like a bloody virus.

Yeah, they're an issue.
It's amazing they've been allowed to keep that app active.
But OP is talking about a TMobile device which uses the on system updater instead of some carrier crap thankfully.

Yeah if you can flip it off in Developer options that is sweet.
Google Services also pushes updates, and last night it managed to get through - usually it whines there is an update, and even if I let it, it crashes... figured no worries then. Well... it (or something, every other OTA service and option is off that I found) made it through and unrooted me last night.
See https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...can-meet-up-with-a-terrible-accident.4281293/ for OP
Luckily, bootloader still unlocked, updated to latest TWRP and reflashed Magisk and all seems to be OK.
Reflashing stock 14.0.11 gives a bunch of loop errors, working on that.
Anyway methinx time to get rid of G/S and replace with the Gapps version....
