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..
Hi there,
I would like to skip the latest update, coz' I don't see any real improvement there. How can I hide or disable the constant notifaction icon?
I am rooted, of course.
Love,
D.
Even if you don't see any benefit, there are often bug fixes and security fixes inn a new release. So I take the opposite view, if an official update does not break or remove some needed functionality I install the latest version.
Can't you download the update then just not install it? Would that get rid of the notification?

Nope
Downloaded it last night, (to the phone, OTA), but did not install it. Went to bed, got up the next morning and the notification was still there.
Yeah, you are probably right. Took the plunge yesterday and it took me the whole day to reinstall the apps and settings. First thing I did afterwards: Got Titanium Backup ;-)
Btw: GingerBreak works like a charm

Found one problem other than my paid apps nothing else shows up under my apps. Anyone else having this problem? I cleared all market data and downloaded a couple of apps since which usually refreshes it but not this time.

For me, just some of my apps show up under "My Apps". Most don't, and it changes at times. Like in the morning I may see 11 and in the night I may see 24 (although there are way more than that downloaded and installed).
Even after 2 days I only see my paid apps and I have close to 140 on my phone and at least 5 of them I installed after the market update and they aren't showing either.
Edit
When I search and find any of the apps that I have installed they show as being installed on the market link but just not showing up under my apps

So basically stick with the black market until the bugs are squashed?

For those of you experiencing bugs, check to see which version of the Market you have. The first leaked version was 3.0.26 but there is a slightly newer version 3.0.27 available here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7620746/com.android.vending-27.apk
I don't know if they fixed anything significant between these versions but it's worth trying it.

Thanks for the post just checked and I have 3.0.27 installed already so for me something else is wrong.

Market 3.0.27 is absolutely horrid. I switched back to the previous version but today I was forced to update. No way to revert.
1) It's ugly.
2) Reviews of apps are displaying out of order. We have reviews from 2010 being displayed at the top of the list, and recent reviews of the latest version nowhere to be found. There is no way to see how people are responding to a newly released version; meanwhile at the top of the list we have these outdated reviews complaining about issues that were already resolved.
3) Whenever updates for apps are released, the update notification displays, but there is no way of actually downloading the new version. Only "Open" and "Uninstall" are shown; it usually isn't until several hours later when we are actually given the option to download the new app.

That's the version I have and it still has the problem of not showing all of "My Apps". The only thing it fixed was the displaying of unsupported apps (e.g Flash Player 10.3, etc...).

I went back to the older version just went into manage applications and then to market and clicked uninstall updates. All my previous issues are gone so don't think I am going to update till they work out some of these bugs.

Hey Guys I am troubleshooting a battery life issue for my boss' wife. Her brand new S4 is draining battery way too fast overnight if not plugged into the charger.
When I pull up her Battery Usage at the top every time is Android OS with a whopping 40-45% of usage.
I have disabled Caller ID, double checked she only have one account synced on her phone and its not happening every 15 minutes or anything. I set her screen brightness to auto (though I know this wouldn't show up as Android OS usage). She is using stock firmware from Verizon and has not really installed much short of a couple games.
What do you think could be causing Android OS to be sucking up so much juice? My Note 2 only shows Android OS as using 10% over 1 1/2 days of usage
Turn off all location reporting stuff under maps, and also download the play store v4.1.10 apk if you are still on 4.1.6. Play store v 4.1.6 has a known battery drain issue and that is why there is a newer one out.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/05/29/download-latest-google-play-store-4-1-10/
Also removing the ongoing wifi thing in teh notification pull down will help as well since it scans for wireless networks like every 4 or 5 seconds. I'm pretty sure she would have to be rooted to be able to flash the MOD.

OK installed Play Store update and rebooting now. She is not rooted, unlocked, nor does she have a custom ROM installed so I'd have to root it if I wanted to add in that mod. This seems like something that should be fixable without a root tho, right?
Thank you for your help btw

Got it. Ok well I did the Play Store update and the location services. I also installed 2x Battery Saver to shut down her wifi when in sleep mode. I'll know if that took care of it tomorrow morning when she brings it in again.
Thanks again for the responses guys. I just know that out of the box this thing shouldn't be draining so fast when its idling!
Its a friggin' Verizon thing. Again they have to be a pain in the a$$ and feel they need to do something to feel like they are better then other carriers by adding and subtracting stuff. The ongoing wifi notification and the removing of the wifi and a couple other toggles in the notification toggles was asinine.
Plus, the battery drain issue with the play store has nothing to do with the phone but a bug from google that was fixed with an update.

Oh. My. God. You are my savior!
Billions of threads were read by me, dozens of battery software were installed by me to analyze battery drain but there were no result unitl I found this thread and you message. A had 70-80% "Android OS" of battery usage and that was because of god damn Play Store 4.1.6 installed on my GT-i9500 and it didn't update for some reason (any suggestions why?). After I've downloaded new version from androidpolice, everything seems to become perfect.
Thank you very much for your message, dude. I owe you.

No problem... glad I could help. The reason it didn't update is because Google never pushed it out. They knew there was an issue and put a fix out pretty fast but you had to download it and install manually. I don't know why.
I have the notification to update [Test] M1D65H to M1D65N this morning and don't see mention here. I am holding off installing it for the moment. Anyone know anything about it?
I've tried to take a screenshot to show it but that's been coming up black...
I have the same update, but the [Test] part seems a bit scary since it's out of warranty.
Have you already updated it?

I have also received this notification on my watch. I'm a little wary of the '[Test]' part too - don't recall seeing this on previous updates.
I think I'll probably delay the update until we get some more information.
I had the same this morning. Just did the update. After Wear rebuilt the cache I went to Settings and now this is the version:
Wear 1.5.0.3853039
Android OS 6.0.1
Security level April 1, 2017
So it just looked like a monthly security update I think
I had exactly the same message this morning and it is still sitting on my watch for actioning....the [TEST] made me aphrensive
Thanks farris for being the guinea pig. based on this I shall go ahead and update from 1st Feb security level release to this 1st April release.

Good to See updates, had hoped for android2 too
Thanks for the feedback everyone. After posting that, I had a busy day and never got to revisit the matter. I may wait a little longer.
Any improvements? My watch can get unusably sluggish at times. Removing unnecessary apps and factory resetting did nothing.
Is the option " change watchface" under settings new? I don't remember this one
I haven't updated and have change watch face, second setting option below adjust brightness.

I have just updated my G Watch and everything seems to work fine (just like it did before).
A question for those on the latest (end of March) Android Wear app: did you experience occasional notifications sync problems (especially when replying from the watch) and (above all) frequent force closes of the Android Wear app (on the phone)? If yes, has this update fixed those problems?
I am asking because due to those annoying problems I went back to the Android Wear app version from February so I would like to avoid updating and going back to the latest Android Wear app (the most recent one is still the troublesome one from the end of March) only to see again the same problems and having to go again through the downgrade process (uninstall Android Wear, install the version from February, re-set everything up).

After a few months, I finally noticed what the [TEST] tag were for. It was released on April fools day(april 1st), carry the code M1D65N, "N" as in nougat, or android wear 2.0. Read it as, [TEST] Nougat build. Someone tried to make an april fools prank and it didn't work.. ROFL.
The first letter signifies the Android version, not the last...
