Eris to v2.x, when?

figured. so when 2.1 is released officially, if it is the identical one to the leaked version and is released ota, we will not get it. but if it's also released as a download from verizon.com, would we be able to flash it?

if it's identical then you wouldn't need it over the air, because you'd already have it.
 
Drinking a beer currently. I'm not a rich man, so Miller Lite is my choice tonight.

In any case, I was thinking earlier today... If we assume that they're going to roll out the 2.1 official OTA update in stages, ie. one part of the country at a time, it would make sense that this Friday would be the first of the rollouts, with more following over the next few weeks should everything go well. If they're going to try and stick to their 2.1 by the end of Q1 that is.

So, uh... BEER!

That's a good theory, now here's the hole in it... :)

2.1 is supposed to be released by EOQ1. Released does not necessarily mean installed on all phones. As long as they START the rollout by 3/31 they are on schedule.

I became the upperclassmen's liquor idol my first week of freshman year of college. Really haven't looked back since.

Exact opposite for me. When they saw how fast I could funnel a beer, it became my job to compete with all challengers. (Never lost. Still don't look like Frank the Tank either.) I also got so inebriated the first night of this discovery defending my chugging champion position that they put a gold football helmet on my head and wrote "Captain Keg" on it with a black sharpie pen.

Yeah. College. Alcoholism training with short bursts of intellectualism.

As for 2.1 - I'm actually getting excited about the official rollout again, even though I have the leak, just to see what kind of upgrades and fixes they offer on top of the already fantastic user experience I've been enjoying the last week or so.
 
Gmail losing its sync after 2.1 update...

I went to Setting - Accounts & Sync - and Auto-sync was off by default. As soon as I checked it, I started getting my Gmails right away.
 
Can a mod or something put the best official 2.1 leak rom link to download on the 1st post of this thread or something, I cant find a link to download it and the directions etc.

There's another hole. Timeframes change based on new information. Q1 was their plan. It's possible something could change that plan. They are under no obligation to meet any Q1 date.

I was told by a VZW Supv. the OTA version will be different and have different version number thereby over righting our version, he said many of his colleagues have this version as well in his office. He was certain the new version will be an update; makes sence to me; anyone else have an idea?
 
I stopped checking this thread daily because I was sick of... reading the same posts over and over. I just came back and BAM there's a lot going on. Can someone point me towards the thread that explains how to get the new 2.1? I apologize for asking, but I didn't want to start a new thread, and I totally don't have the patience to read that many pages of stuff.

Is it able to be done by a non-techie or should I just keep waiting for the OTA?

Tis Easy... Read the other posts and you can see how to do it easy and what problems people ran into and the solutions to most of the problems.
 
Perhaps I missed this in the new features or maybe it's a glitch, but has anyone noticed their ringtone volume lowers when they pick up their phone? It's happened to me several times where the phone will ring, but the ringer lowers considerably when I pick it up.

PS: I'm having the silent dial bug occasionally.
