    Wipe phone, lose 3G ?

    What is that sticky post about ? How many of us have wiped our phones and NOT lost 3G ? It would be one thing if that post said you "might" lose it, but it says you "will" lose 3G. Soooo not true. Fact is, I did it to my phone yesterday... Twice... Guess what I still have ?

    Temp Monitor Lite accuracy ?

    Anyone use "Temp Monitor Lite" ? Anyone compare it's readings to those from *#*#4636#*#* ? Currently, mine indicates 29C in the status bar. It polls the temperature every 15s as I recall. I've checked the temperature by "dialing" the above code, selecting "Battery info" and it can be different...

    Root *MORE* Reliable root for leakers has been found

    There's a new thread over at XDA with a method that supposedly anyone, including those with leaked updates, can root their Eris. It involves a lot of command line typing and the initial followers were running into a lot of mistakes but it now appears that the instructions are updated and I saw...

    Root Where is a 1.5 ROM ?

    Where are 1.5 ROMs available ? In the interest of looking into the "silent" call bug, I might roll-back to 1.5 and see if the problem goes away. I have had the issue a few times on a rooted 2.1 ROM. This thread, Known Droid Eris Roms, Patches and Hacks - UPDATED 05-11-2010 - xda-developers...

    Root Comparisons of ROMs ?

    Is there a comparison (by anyone) of all of the different ROMs available ? If so, where ? Will look over at XDA too...

    Facebook for HTC Sense, mobile uploads

    Ever since installing the leaked versions of Android 2.1 for the HTC Eris, when I upload a photo via "Facebook for HTC Sense", it creates a new "Mobile Uploads" folder at Facebook. Why doesn't it use the existing "Mobile Uploads" folder that already exists there ? I can move these new photos...

    Market sorting options

    Does anyone else wish that the Android Market had sort options ? I know when I browse the Market, I can filter by paid apps vs free apps. That's part-way there... I also want to be able to sort by rating/ranking (# of stars), number of times downloaded, cost, and so on. Also, carry these sort...

    Handcent, MMS re-size, failure

    About 2-3 updates ago with Handcent, when the "news" for the update mentioned something like "new re-size algorithm for MMS", I've had Handcent fail to re-size pictures and in some cases, Force Close. In fact, it fails to be able to re-size the picture far, far more times than it successfully...

    Root Wife's phone still on 1.5, want to root it...

    That said, what is the "safest" ROM to use for someone like her ? Keeping SENSE is almost a requirement. Is Evil Eris a good choice ?

    Using Navigation - phone gets HOT

    Anyone noticed how HOT their phone gets when using the Navigation option on Android 2.1 ? The navi app must be a CPU hog or maybe they've increased the power on the GPS module (isn't it an all-in-one chipset though ?). Try it for even a 1/2 hour and I think you'll be surprised at the temperature.

    Shazam - sign in or login ?

    At Shazam's website, you can sign up and create an account. Once done, you can view songs you tagged. Problem is, the Shazam application, at least on Android, has no "login" mechanism. It doesn't know what songs I've tagged... Am I missing something ? Anyone with Shazam on a BB or iPhone have a...

    Thanked posts ?

    Apologize is this is answered somewhere. I didn't see anything and did try searching for "thank" and "thanks" but it complained about that being 'too common' or something.... Hehe, it doesn't allow me to put "thanks" in the tag field for this post either ! Anyway, can we see what posts we got...

    Calender (HTC) widget annoyance

    I have the HTC calender widget that's sync'd with my Google calender. I have (2) events coming up within the next two days but it shows the second or later one vs the next one. For example, today is "eat lunch at school with my daughter". On Thursday, it's "eat lunch at school with my son". The...

    Different keyboard options available ?

    I was reading about the ability to add what some consider to be a "better" keyboard for their Android phone (HTC's default keyboard ?) and how to install it. From what I can tell, this keyboard is what us with Eris phones already have.... See here: Get a Better Android Keyboard, No Rooting...

    Lockbot Pro config questions

    How do you configure Lockbot Pro so that it starts at "boot" ? Also, more often than not, when I manually launch and the phone locks, both Lockbot & the built-in Android lock end up running. I then have to unlock twice. Finally, even after manually launching, it doesn't lock automatically after...
