Try going to the web site in your phone browser and downloading from there. Phone may tell you it's blocked from receiving, but it's just a matter of unchecking a box in the settings. Had to do this with MyBackupPro.

It is my understanding that the Gmail issue is related to the APP and how it relates to the 2.xx software. I've read multiple places that it is a known issue with the gmail dev team.
yes, we know for sure. look at previous posts.
I have not taken the plunge n 2.1 but, I do know that in 1.5, you download the "free" version, then open it to the full version by entering a product key that they should have e-mailed you after you purchased it. If you do not have the original e-mail I think DataViz can track down your number if your e-mail has not changed.
Hope this works

Did anyone see that they put VPN in 2.1?
Yeah, I saw that. I dunno if it was in 1.5, because I don't use it. The iPhone has it and my university had directions to connect to the network that way, but I never took the time to figure it out.

BTW-with in the last 2 days I have only one small bug; I have made a call and silence. The phone indicates a call is in progress but nothing; dead silence. The other person says their end is dead as well. I have read to shut the phone off and on, this does reset the problem...I just wanted to report this and see if anyone else has other solutions than turn the phone off and on. What would happen if I re-installed 2.1? Would it do any good like rebooting Windows? Just wondering; Besides being in the medical profession for 30 years, I did take 2 years off and took computer programming for fun; I don't much about the OS and rooting processes or how the phone boots etc; I know very little about Linux...but I can get through most stuff if I have instructions. Appreciate any help if there is any. Thanks, Scot

Backing up my SD card currently so I can do this update.
Will it erase all of my contacts?
Will I have to reactivate my phone?
Do I need to delete everything off my SD card?

Call me a newbie, but i've done research, i've read the threads, i've tried many " versions " of the .zip file, i've tried many times to upgrade to 2.1. I follow all the steps but all i get are messages that the file is corrupt etc.. what am i doing wrong? and what do i have to do to make it work? i dont wanna wait for the OTA upgrade to come out since there's not a set date for that..

Yes it will erase your contacts, unless you were smart and exported themas a csv file and imported them into google, that is of course if they arent on google now. In which case they will all be fine.
No you wont have to reactivate phone. Network will recognize your phones id and be fine.
Yes format card clean fat32 then place the zip file on it unzipped and do the reboot holding volume down and pwr/end button at same time. Back all your current apps up with astro and then back cards entire contents up to computer so when update is done you just have to copy it back onto the card and voilla, your photos,music,etc is all there and reinstall astro from market to restore any backed up apps from you card that you cant get from market.

Anybody else's phone vibrate before you make a call? Any fixes?
Ok, I couldn't take it anymore so I installed the update. Awesome so far! Only 2 issues I see. Some web pages load up a bit small (no big deal), but the main issue is on 1.5, there was an option to only sync "My Contacts" instead of "All Contacts." Anyway to do that here? This way when I send an email the email address doesn't automatically save to my contacts.
Never mind, found it.

Its to show that your connected and going. Its like that on alot of phones these days.
Are you a physician? That's one profession I haven't heard of on here.
It will erase contacts and apps off your phone, but when you sign back into your Gmail account when you first start up the phone and go through the whole introduction, they should be back.
Syncing Google contacts, I think, is done by going to Settings, and syncing through one of Accounts options there. Honestly, I have forgotten the ways of 1.5.
No phone reactivation, but some members reported a roaming sync may need to be done, both options 1 and 2.
Ok. When you download the correct, patched file, do no rename it on your computer. Simply send it to the open space on your SD card on your phone. Don't put it in any folder.
The phone will find it and read it on its own. It will say something along the lines of "something-something failed" multiple times, but it will eventually get through it and find it.

Where does it fail? Does it say "image failed" four or five times? If it does, how long do wait on that screen before giving up?
