Help Moment 2.1 Update Thread

I've read a whole bunch of areas, and have heard that certain programs do not appear in the market after you root and flash 2.1. Does anyone know of a fix for this, or have the .apk file for AOnline Radio, Cherry RPlayer, or Shazaam?

I also notice a constant crash loop on MLB At Bat 2010, and Slacker Radio loads but does not let me play any station. I always get a "Press play to restart radio station" Error code 31,0.

What version of 2.1 are you running? DD03 or DD10? There is a thread at SDX that talks about getting the protected apps working. DD03 has streaming audio issues that can be fixed, but DD10 has the fix built in. I don't run any of the apps you have listed, so I'm not much help with those.
 
Thanks I will give those two threads a look. And I am on baseband Version DD03 but I believe I am technically DD10 because my build is ECLAIRDD10.
 
I've had my Moment for about a month now and I'm really enjoying it. But I'm new to the world of smart phones so I have no basis for comparison, I probably would have like any smart phone I was given, but Sprint has the best data plan by far of any of the big carriers so I went with them. I told sales rep I wanted the best phone Sprint currently offers and they showed me the Moment and that's what I bought.

I have seen some posts complaining about battery life, but as long as I'm not using the navigation feature, texting, using the web browser, using the camcorder etc, the battery life is great. I think this is to be expected though.

Anyway, I'm wondering why some of you are using a non-authorized version of 2.1? What is the problem with waiting for Sprint to make it an official release? Is there something 1.5 doesn't provide that you desperately need in 2.1, or is this just a matter of being impatient? Personally I'm going to wait for the official release from Sprint because I don't see the sense in going with a hacked version, especially when I have read the official release will happen in June. It's not a long wait at all.

:cool: OK
 
2.1 is vast improvement over 1.5. It's almost like a completely different phone. My wife is so glad to not be muting her calls by accident anymore she could care less about the 6 hour battery life. The new slide to mute and slide to speaker has greatly reduced my stress levels just from her not having to complain about it. Its so easy to do I don't think there is a down side. I'd be surprised if most of the yo-yos at the Sprint store could even figure out you'd done anything with the software on it.
 
I really want to upgrade to 2.1, but can someone tell me where I can download the original cl14 update in case I want/need to go back? I went to the sprint download site and it looks like they have removed the download...:(

Thanks for any help
 
Here is an interesting post from the XDA forums (HTC developers)

Here's some info that i got earlier today, thought I would share with everyone:

the 2.1 update will be OTW Only, and available from Sprint.com/Download once released.
File size for the HTC Hero will be ~117mb, and Samsung Moment ~80mb
Post 2.1 MRs will be OTA as long as sizes are within sprint's technical capabilities (9mb limit on OTA), Otherwise they will be OTA from Google or OEM sources.

Release dates:
Moment - April 30
Hero - Week of May 1

So keep your eyes peeled, and before anyone asks, the reason that the Hero update is being released after the Moment, is due to Sense implementation.

Enjoy!

Sprint 2.1 Eclair Release (HTC Hero & Samsung Moment) - xda-developers
 
The official 2.1 isnt listed yet, but i have pretty high hopes it does release at some point today...the update page on sprint was modified today so maybe they put it on there but its hidden right now until they officially release it
 
Yesterday at interop they told us that there were some last minute setbacks and it was going to be 2 more weeks before it was released. I did get to see the new moment though, and I was not impressed.

They all thought it was really cool that mine had 2.1 on it though. Hahaha

Did you happen to get any additional information on any type of release date for the Samsung Moment 2?

Also, what did you not like about it? Whats new on the Samsung Moment 2 and is that leaked picture of the supposedly Moment 2 a couple of weeks ago http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/moment2.jpg, actually the Samsung Moment 2?
 
I got about 5 minutes to use the phone myself. They would not let me take any pictures and acted like it was a really big deal. I was expecting to see something awesome after using the EVO.

That link is for sure the same phone that they showed me.

Here's my takeaway from the Moment 2 or moment replacement as they called it.


1) had 2.1 installed
2) did NOT have multitouch
3) the screen is MUCH smaller than the one that we have <-- hard to tell from that picture in the link. In fact the whole phone is much smaller.
4) it did not seem any faster than my phone running 2.1
5) it did not have 4g
6) the keyboard was a little nicer, the buttons had more space between them
7) when I asked when it would be out they said summer, shortly after the EVO

The EVO was really awesome though, I just wish it had a keyboard.
 
I hope they improved the Nuance voice app! God, I hate the voice of that bee-atch repeating over and over, "Did you say.......?" No, you freakin' bee-atch, NO!!!!!

I currently have the DD03 install running on my phone. When I go to "root" the phone to make these changes, will I once again have everything wiped? I searched and haven't seemed to be able to figure that part out yet.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. No, it should not wipe your phone.
 
Lol I was on the phone with sprint for two hours today and the first CSR I chated wit had to pu today and the first CSR I chated wit had to put me on hold to go ask his boss he came back and said "its out all ready it came out april 16th" obviously didn't know what he was talkin about.so I called him out on it and he transferd me to another person who again when I asked about the release date had to put me on hold to ask there suppior.they came back and said "it should be out in the next few days".but that bieng said we've all been lied to for months now so.......beleave it when u see it so.......beleave it when u see it
