Eris Users Rejoice!

[smfoley1]

went to the Verizon store and was told the update is rolling out. The tech showed me the screen on his comp listing exactly what was stated in the first post

 

[timmywa]

no reports yet?

 

[hallstevenson]

Has anyone received this mini update yet?

For future reference: When something is coming out "today", wait 4-5 days for it to really happen.

 

[hallstevenson]

I wouldn't expect that VZW would phrase the audio fix any other way...i.e., not admitting fault (it might also be a case where the the issue actually is a hardware one that can be overcome with a software fix and not wanting to point fingers between themselves and HTC).

It didn't surprise me at all seeing it phrased that way. Does it mean the "silent call" bug ? Maybe, maybe not, but I wouldn't expect them to specifically mention it. They don't say they're "fixing" anything, they're simply "improving" or "enhancing".

 

[tommy_ed]

Yea, you are right, I am upset. I am just fed up with the issues this phone is having. It's embarrising when you go to make a work phone call and the silent call issue rears its ugly head, or you drop the call because the Eris dislikes 3g coverage in LA of all places. I think I did get a bad cs rep, cause I had one guy who was super nice and offered to upgrade me to the INC. I wish I would've accepted that offer.

you DIDNT accept that offer?! i think i see the problem lol

 

[Jareris]

you DIDNT accept that offer?! i think i see the problem lol

Nope, i didn't. From what i've read in that forum, the INC has had some similar issues to the Eris. Seems to be an HTC issue.

 

[jayochs]

nothing here over in NJ...but of course, i don't expect to get it for a week like the 2.1 update

This, although I think it's more so of an issue with Sense. If I didn't love it so much I would probably have gotten a different phone without sense.

HTC manufactured the Nexus One, if I am not mistaken, and that's not running Sense. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that phone has any of the issues the Eris or Incredible are having, which leads me to believe it's an issue with Sense, and not so much HTC.

I also believe that this update will be pushed out slowly at first similar to the 2.1 OTA and for the same reasons the OTA was rolled out slowly, meaning I don't think most people will get it on this site for a bit.

I just got it, and it updated my phone to 2.2.. WOOHOO..




ok im lying..

Some of you should be getting a software update pushed to your phone starting today.


Enhancements

• Improved audio
  • The audio controls have been updated.
  Enhanced speed dial
  • Save and add contacts to speed-dial list with ease.
• Improved text, video, and picture messaging functionality

Improvements

• Contacts now sync with Backup Assistant, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and Facebook.
• The Weather app / widget has been enhanced and stabilized.
• Droid Eris will now pair with a Jabra Bluetooth headset.

One thing to keep in mind is that often times full change logs are not always included for the general public. So the update may offer other fixes that are not listed.

Anyway, so far Im not seeing any updates on my phone.

 

[Frisco]

..the update may offer other fixes that are not listed...

..or exclude some of those that are listed.

 

[Lagos]

..or exclude some of those that are listed.

Yep.
Its one of those cases where we have to update, reset the phone and see how it goes.

 

[v941726]

I work for VZW.

You just got a bad rep + you hate your phone obviously so your upset.

Theres a big thread on the DInc forums about how cs reps are the best lol.

there are actually good reps. but boy, sometimes &*&^^%

 

[OldSmoky]

I wonder if the fix will cure my BT problems. When I'm on my headset and get in my car, it tries to connect to the car BT handsfree instead. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it just disconnects my headset BT and sends the call to the handset. It will never let me stay connected to my BT headset when I get in the car. This only started after the 2.1 update.

 

[srmccoy]

Still haven't seen any proof of this update.

 

[gpa111]

We should verify if this updates the bootloader as well as the firmware before everyone installs it, that is when it does come.

 

[hallstevenson]

We should verify if this updates the bootloader...

I heard that since the Eris is now obsolete (with Verizon) that they've included a root-friendly bootloader.

Where did you hear this?

He's being a smart-ass

 

[v941726]

I figured that after I pressed send . Haha

 

[bberryhill0]

No update on my leak 3 Eris yet.

 

[acyd]

Got it around midnight in Brooklyn, NY. Updating now..

Was running Leak V3 by the way.

 

[thenestor]

Anyone who is experienced using adb or ddms, please get us the url of the update if you get it. (If you don't know how our don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry about it.)

 

[Gobd]

Got it! Don't notice anything new but it's an update so I'm happy.

 

[NKT]

Phone calls don't use 3G on Verizon. It reverts back to 2G in a phone call. Just sayin'.

Actually, voice does use 3G and 1x. You're think of 3G data (EvDO).

The issue he's probably having is he's losing ALL signal. The phone will try to drop to 1x but if it's in a fringe/poor coverage area, it will drop anyways.

Could be a defective phone, defective software, or simply needs a PRL update...
