2.1 OTA Beginning 5/11/2010

[Shnuddy]

He's right! MyBackup Pro, PicSay Pro, xScope, etc. are all there now. Any other examples of copy-protected apps we can check for?

MyBackup Pro and Happy Cow Vegin' Out have both appeared in my downloads as "purchased."

 

[Psilo]

No, it's a dream......go back to bed..lol

Who's to say the dream world isn't real life.

 

[Craiz]

It's on Verizon's website, as "Coming Soon" but guessing its closers since they posted the PDF...

Just downloaded Weathebug Elite. Said "Purchased" above the star rating. I clicked through and I now have my official copy back.

I wonder how long it will take to roll it out to all Eris users. Not sure how many of these phones are out there and how big the batches will be.

 

[jpzsports]

Yay! Finally some solid proof. Looking forward to it.

Yeah, we all saw this a couple days ago, but there is no date on it.

 

[plugnpl4y]

Anyone notice it says "pinch-to-zoom" for Google Maps? I have the 2.1v3 release and it does not support this.

 

[gotweed]

operation push OTA 2.1 is in effect motha suckassss

 

[The_shake_down]

Let's see what the next 48 hours hold...Depending how long this would take to roll out to everyone.

 

[Peter123]

Anyone could tell me the best way to back up contacts and calendar?

I have copyed my SD card to a PC, and I saved my contact on gmail.

I am not sure how to save the calendar.

When Eris is updated will calendar and contact data on GOOGLE erased?
(I know on the phone it will be erased....)

Yes and I am wondering when they will put the link up or just OTA?

Your google data is safe. make sure your contacts are saved as a google contact and not the phone.

 

[TheMortallyWounded]

I'll believe it when I see it on my phone. Topping off battery now.

mebbeh. It's all good. Again, I was only kidding...I honestly feel like a kid on Christmas Eve with this news. Thanks for appreciating the effort though!

 

[The_shake_down]

I do hope it happens tomorrow! My husband is tired of hearing me talk about it.

 

[nomarsgirl]

I don't know why I'm so excited. I already have 2.1 (version 3) and it works well. Have had the silent call once or twice, but it is hard to know if I really had it or it was just the poor signal where I live. (Had just pulled into my driveway).

 

[OfTheDamned]

This is great news for all Eris owners.

I will remind everyone to stay civil and informative.

Carry on.

 

[Thedarksunlight]

Thanks yo

Your contacts and calendar will be backed up on your gmail account. After the update, you will go back through the setup as you did when you first got the phone. When you put in your gmail info it will all be synced back with your phone. Hope this helps you

Can't imagine what the Eris forum will become if 2.1 actually shows. We'll have to start a new Official 2.1 Bugs/Problems thread.

My God the kittens are all giving a big sigh or relief!

The silent call is the ONLY thing that drives me nuts about the Eris. Everything else is working wonderfully. Hope the OTA fixes that!

 

[Kevkelsar]

At least with the official 2.1 update they will have to address the problem and fix it some how.

 

[John58543]

I'll be interested to see if this does in fact roll out.
