First let me just say this is my opinion only and I don't want anyone thinking the rest of the wonderful staff here at Phandroid/AF.com agrees with it, although some may.
So the 2.1 OTA is here, can you really believe it? I'm so happy for all the users who couldn't wait for it, I hope it is working out for you all. It definitely has added some neat stuff for all the stock users out there, that is for sure. Now on to why I started this thread.
This is mainly directed to everyone who was already rooted and now returned to stock or used some other method to get the 2.1 OTA. Are you having problems? Lag? Bugs? Trying to get MM themes to work? WiFi Tether? Basically anything that requires root?? Then WHY did you use the 2.1 OTA? I and countless other users had warned you that none of this would work properly IF AT ALL. The ESE81 is unrootable in stock form, and if you want to get back to where you were last night then you need to use a SBF file and RSD Lite or suck it up and wait for someone to find a root exploit. We can't fix any problems your having with the OTA because without root access all the normal troubleshooting tools and tips are gone or won't work.
It's not that I don't want to help you all, because I really do and if you know me then you know I'm being honest. I just don't even know where to start. There are so many things that have been complicated by the fact that we can't root the OTA 2.1 (in stock form) and there are most likely small differences in the OTA creating new bugs we haven't figured out how to fix yet. What would really be great is if we could stick to just maybe 2 or 3 threads for issues related to the OTA because right now the forum is clogged with threads and honestly they ALL belong in the support forums (minus the root specific threads). I haven't moved any yet but I actually should be as we do have specific sub forums for support questions.
Phew.....that is all I guess. I hope no one is offended by what I've said because I do love this community and I spend a lot of time here every day. I just don't it to degrade into a giant 2.1 OTA forum.
