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.

thanks for the info
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..

I didn't like the little notification toggle issues on IX so went back to VIII and now Netflix is saying there is a newer version that it must be updated to in order to work. The one that came with the Rom is the no device check, so I uninstalled and tried the other to at no avail!?
Do we have to mess with the build prob a bit to think our tbolt is a different device? I know when I did that, Netflix actually showed up in the market! So I'm guessing this may work... Any ideas? Thanks!

So... I made my device look like an incredible, went to market, installed update (because our tbolt GBs won't have Netflix in the market yet) after update installed to the "no device check Netflix .apk and the original Netflix .apk I get a little farther, but get an error about maybe my device being removed from acct (which makes no sense) or the device has been removed from Netflix. Wtf! Anyone else having Netflix issues?

when I tried to rip the Apk from my Inc it was titled com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk
it didn't work on my TB running bamf2.0beta5. I did get com.Netflix.mediaclient-2.API from another thread in the general section and it works fine.
It might be the emulation of the Inc that is getting you an incompatible apk from the market.
I installed cubed rom on friday and I am very pleased the only problem is my verizon visual voicemail. Can some tell me if i can install it and how!! Very new to the rooting game.
Should be in the market, just type in Verizon Visual Voicemail, and it should come up.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vzw.vvm.androidclient
It worked thanks @ first it would not let me install but it installed now.
I'm having the same problem, but when I try to download the Verizon version from the market and launch it, it says there is a built in version and will not let you use it.
Nm, I found an apk that worked. If only I would have googled first.
It's not the one that came with the phone but it works!!! Does not work with bluetooth but I can deal with that.
1st, I can't get NBA Jams to install, I found a person who said to change the prop build to get it to install. Fine, but I have no idea what to change it to?
2nd, I saw a rom that had the Sense 4.0 task manager where you scroll right/left and swipe up to close an app. I can't remember which rom it was, and I can't find it. I'm running Team Obsession RC1, is there any way I could flash this?
3rd, I'm not a fan of the Samsung contacts app, I have Contapps from the Play store, and I like it but it's still not exactly what I'm after. Outside of apps on the Play store, could I flash a contacts from a different rom? I really like the stock ICS one I saw on my friends pohone. I've heard I could flash the CM9 people app, but my attempts to do this haven't worked. My phone's rooted and I'm running the latest CWM.
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.
