Can Android 2.1 work for the Eris

[dsmith1]

It's possible that the update is large and complex enough that the plan is to send it via multiple updates ... maybe 2.1 in the first update, followed immediately by Sense in the next? Who knows ...

i

i recieved it with htc sense

have u tried contacting verizon support?

 

[cmack]

This sounds like a shit sandwich! 1.5 is looking good after all.

 

[ExcessiveIdling]

I can see it now, he tries to contact verizon..they pick up. 'Yes I'm having problems with the droid eris 2.1 update today could you help me?' 'Update? what update? that wasnt scheduled till next year! Mikey did you hit the wrong switch?!?'

or something to that effect...

 

[betg1492]

but heres one thing that boggles me still okay we have what over 2000 people with a eris on this forum i might be wrong but still what is the changes of only one person getting the update im not doubting it but lets say im skeptical

but yes it does sound like your last resort is to go to a VZW store or call support sorry dude wish we could help

 

[dsmith1]

ok, if its rooted then tell us that, we Eris users don't have either 2.1 or root!!

We have suggested things to try based upon our experience with the phone...if these things do not work contact verizon wireless and they should be able to help you...dial 611 from your cell if you CAN do that...if not dial (800) 922-0204 from a normal phone and again they should be able to help you or tell you sorry you werent supposed to receieve that update, please bring your phone in for servicing and/or a replacement.

Sorry if I came off wrong, I do believe you!, just wanting to let the guy posting doubts, saying a root eris could have done that, know that we don't have root.

Unfortunately, none of us have dealt with an OS update like this. I don't know if any of us really can help you.

I'm a moto droid user and im jealous if this update is true!

 

[jmims]

I did a Google search for this error, and the main results were about it stemming from wrong keys for dev phones. And also Cyanogen mods issues. Didn't read too in depth for this, but if you care to, see for yourself. Google "google partner" and "force close".

Yup, that was posted in another 2.1 thread the other day by the actual guy. Name starts with an S...I forget. But I think our local damned girl was the one talking with him, so she might know

Sorry you're not getting the warmest reception at times here, bear in mind that this forum has been salivating for a solid three months now over the very thing that's causing your problems.

For that reason, I don't think we're gonna be much help--none of us have any experience with 2.1 on the Eris. If Caddy's suggestions didn't help, I certainly have no idea what you might try. Your best bet is definitely either HTC or Verizon, and PLEASE, let us know what they tell you. It'll be helpful in case any of us suffer the same problem, and it would be great if they gave you a reason why you have to deal with this problem... or any info about the update in general.

Good luck!

Got this from the verizon forums:

You-got-to-read-this

The HTC rep said this was a known issue. Guess what she said NEXT!!!! Woah I about dropped to the floor. She said, "This is a known issue that is resolved in 2.1 which was released today. Your Droid Eris over the next two weeks will update to version 2.1."

The OP goes on to explain in more detail what the rep said:

She said that our Droid Eris look for updates once every 2 weeks and there is no way us end users to tell when our phone is schedule to look. There is no way we can force the look either. So make sure you keep your 3G turned on so you get the update on your phones scheduled look date.

Could this be the real update?

The reports sound crazy enough to be true. Truth really can be stranger than fiction.

They never give credit. Ass clowns!

Well if this really is legit, I'm inclined to say it is, then our little corner of the web is about to get very hectic boys and girls.

Pssh, I should have slapped an android forums logo on it before I posted.

Damn you, Engadget.

 

[Pitamakan]

Didn't I once -- somewhere -- see a post that talked about getting one's phone to manually request an OTA update from VZW? It involved sending a string that included lots of *'s and #'s ...

Some of the n00bs we've seen in here so far the past few days seem to be more reserved than some who've been around here for a long time.
