Eris 2.1 leak Bug's and Fixes

[OfTheDamned]

The HTC battery widget installed on my Eris but was not available. I had to uninstall and re-isntall to use it. Has anybody had this issue?

Mine installed with no problem

Ya did the Messages thing, maybe my problem is like OTD's as I can't seem to leave the phone alone very long..


quick question, how did you set Goggle Voice as your default text app ?

If you have the Google Voice app installed on your phone and you have not set the Message app as the default already, just go to any contact as if you were going to send them a text and when your keyboard pulls up it will ask which program you want to use. Just check the "Use as Default" box and choose Google Voice.

If you already have the Message app as the default, go to settings, applications, manage apps. Go to the Message App and clear the default setting, then go back and do the step I just listed above to make Google Voice the default.

You can do this with any message app, by the way. I just use Google Voice for free texting.

Confirmed that it zooms out on every page, but that's a 2.x thing and it's that way on the Moto Droid as well. I have the google sign-in issue as well, but I rarely restart my phone.

I can only confirm that on the moto droid all web pages were zoomed out to view the whole page, needing to zoom in to read.

digital clock doesn't seem to 2.1 capable yet.
Anyone confirm this?

Facebook contact sync is working alright occasionally. The name in your phone has to match exactly the Facebook name to sync up. Get more HTC widgets is offline too

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but say I go into the application Where and decide to view a business web page...... it will not let me. It says 'web page not available'. If I use the browser and go to a website, it will open the page fine. Same problem exists in other applications that will allow you to visit third party websites. Anyone else have this problem?

I noticed this with Urbanspoon, but I thought it was just the app. It isn't doing this with other apps that are already "connected" like peep or feedr.

can anyone please help me and try to figure out if it works and possible, how to, go back to 1.5?

HTC enhances Sense with Leap and Friend Stream (updated with video) -- Engadget

Fancy way of switching screens...

Odd that our build of 2.1 doesn't have Friend stream. Why is that? And I thought all HTC and Android widgets were on the same section now. Could this be an earlier build?

Also, any one notice that even after you close the Amazon mp3 store app(after turning on your phone that is), that it like pops up in the background by itself. Any ideas on how to stop that?

Ok, so I learned the hard way about using Mybackup before I saw this thread. Is there an easy fix to what's messed up, or do I have to reflash?

If I have to reflash, is it just the same procedure as the original 2.1 flash, or are there other steps involved? I.E. going to recovery or something like that?

*EDIT*
To answer my own question, a simple factory reset seems to have taken care of my weather widget problem. I'll update with news if anything else comes up.

I know this was already mentioned as a problem, but has anyone figured out how to link a google contact to a facebook profile? When I select the contact in the People App, and try to manually link them it does not display any facebook contacts at all. This is the only thing so far about this update that is driving me crazy. Other then that, I am loving it. Phone seems a lot more responsive overall!

This may be a silly question, but you are signed in to sync with Facebook right?

Settings > Accounts & Sync > Facebook

Also, if you go to Add account at the bottom there are 2 different facebooks to sync with. You want Facebook for HTC Sense syncing.

Yah I saw that it had 2 for some reason. I have logged into the Facebook for HTC Sense account successfully.

UPDATE: Just did a reboot and now when I click on Facebook for HTC Sense it allows me to check sync contacts (before the option did not exist) Also the little sync icon on the right of the facebook account just stayed gray before. Now it is green and syncing perfectly. Really Strange, but I hope that helps anyone out!

Also, FB contacts will ONLY autosync if the contact names are exactly the same. If they aren't you have to manually link them.

Anyone know how to fix the Google/gmail account error at start up?

Anyone else having trouble dialing out with Google Voice? It doesn't seem to be connecting and my Verizon number is being used instead. Sending and receiving text through GV seems to be ok.

I can't seem to find where to change how often my gmail app syncs. It's checked to automatic, but I remember being able to set a time frame. Anybody find this?
