Eris 2.1 leak Bug's and Fixes

Ive read in earlier post about new notifications for mounting sd card to pc. I don't get any notification when i plug it in. Ive tried a number of times. Is there a setting I need to enable/change somewhere? It starts charging and led lights up but no option to transfer files or anything.
 
The only bugs I have noticed have been the usual ones (gmail sync error and gmail pics in e-mail).


The only other thing I have noticed other than those is that when I get an incoming call it displays the phone number for a few seconds before it realizes that its someone in my contacts and displays their name and contact picture.
 
Can someone confirm that sometimes the icons don't line up correctly on the home screens? Great update btw, unbelievable what 2.1 can do.

if you go to settings --> Connect to PC, you can select what you would like it to do and change the default.
 
Reading through all the posts, not having any problems that has been reported . The only problem I have is that when I opened up Text Plus, my contacts came up as numbers. Any fixes?

I have tried all the settings. And I have ask me checked. When I plug into computer though it gives me no options, but it does charge.
 
Alright so battery life don't seem any better. I checked status said my cell stand by without reception has been 71%. now today I noticed places I had full bars I now carry only one bar , two max. anyone else having this problem. its killing my battery badly.

I am also. My time without signal is 52%. My battery really isn't suffering though.

Mine did that the first time I put the icons up. If you just remove them and put them back in they will straighten out.
 
Been trolling the forums for a week or so since I got my new Eris. I love it, its so much better than my LG DARE. I downloaded and installed the leaked 2.1 OS two days ago and while it looks a lot nicer than 1.5 I have a major issue.....Its SLOW to load essential apps

In my experience 2.1 takes longer to open the most basic apps like the stock text and email programs. When the phone is in sleep mode the time it takes for the phone to unsleep and the Lock Screen to appear takes longer than 1.5.

Has anyone else experienced this same issue?
 
So I don't know if this 'bug' has been posted yet but it's happened to me about 3 times today. For some reason my sound keeps going out (ie. ringtones, music won't play). The volume is up and everything there just isnt sound coming out of the phone, when I get a call it just vibrates, my ringtone volume is all the way up and I have it set to a specific song for all phone calls. This forces me to reboot my phone to get everything back to normal, it's not a huge inconvenience just a bit annoying. Anyone else experience this?
 
Anybody having any issues with gmail not pushing? I am signed in. I tried to uncheck the sync options and recheck, but still no luck.

I am also. Just noticed it today, wasn't doing it the other day but today I realized that it wasn't pushing them.

I see that behavior in the (text) messaging app too.
 
Hey Caddyman,

I just wanted to report the silent dial no one can here me and I can't here them issue I posted on the 2.x when site..I am now trying to format my sd card, download the PB00IMG file directly to the card start over...I did notice this happened after I received a voice mail and email..also the dial pad was frozen or very slow lag...super slow lag..when I turn the phone off it was fine.

I had the same issue today .... "Silent Dial" .... the call would go through (dial out or in) but could not hear anyone & they could not hear me!
I did notice the battery bar was orange, down to <15%, so wondered if there was a link there.
Not so, was able to make a normal call after a battery pull & reboot.

Another annoying issue is that my Jawbone BT headset does not work when listening to Visual VM playback.

Otherwise LOVE the update ;-)
 
That silent dial issue happened to me a week and a half ago, when I was still running 1.5. Just took a power off and on for it to go back to normal and haven't experienced an issue since. Maybe there was an app or something interfering.
 
Hello everyone. I just registered, but have been lurking for awhile.

I updated to 2.1 2 days ago. I experienced many of the same problems reported here. Earlier things got a little worse, then alot worse. My phone, on two separate instances randomly called someone in my contacts, my phone rang like it was an incoming call. Both myself and the person called heard a recorded message asking me to enter my password, it sounded like i had dialed voicemail.

This was bugging me, so I did a factory reset. Now I cannot get any service, *228 says "Sorry, but we are unable to program your phone at this time".

HEEELLLP!

Thanks,
Joey
 
Well under the heading of "It ain't a problem until it's happening to you!"--I thought battery use was OK, but that was b/c I had it plugged in most of the time. I found out what others have been experiencing regarding battery drain. I had about 1/2 battery left and watched it drain in 3 hours on standby with no use at all. Cell standby was 35% of the drain and phone idle was 31%. Hopefully a fix is in the works.
 
I've read through the forum, but I haven't seen a workaround for the 100% awake issue. Ever since I updated to 2.1 I've had this issue. In spare parts it says that android system is not sleeping at all. Also, I've had the problem with not getting as many bars as I used to get. Are there any work arounds to these issues or do I need to just wait for the ota?
Ps. I've tried *228

I called customer service (*611). The guy said that they are updating their systems, and this is why I cannot get my phone to reprogram. He said I should be able to program, and re-enable my service my 8:00am.

I hope he is right...
 
Using the HTC weather application I thought in 1.5 you used to be able to click on the bar at bottom of screen to link to website (accuweather.com???) to get weather information. Am I missing a settings or button press somewhere with the 2.1 version?.
 
I'm having the low signal issue also...and I live about a half a mile from a tower...

One bar...maybe two at times...

It isn't there anymore. No idea why, the site did suck though. I'm using i.wund.com now. Much better, IMHO.
 
My signal stays at 1-2 bars most of the time, but i never seem to actually have a low signal.

What i get now is an icon in the notification bar at the top that lets me choose what to do. Charge, Sync, or connect as mass storage. I didn't set it up to do anything, totally auto.
