Question above. I downloaded & installed 2.1 OTA from stock 1.5 in April. I then downloaded & installed 2.1 MR4 this morning. I still have the 50% without signal bug, and this thread recommends doing a factory reset. Will this put me back at 1.5 or 2.1 pre-MR4? If so, what are my next steps to get back to the current OS/ROM? Thanks.

Factory reset just wipes your Data and Cache, it doesn't "reload" any OS. It just "reset" everything to factory defaults, it gets rid of your home page settings, and user settings.

and it doesnt get rid of the 50% w/o signal bug. if it bothers you that much, put it in airplane mode, let the phone fall asleep for a few minutes, get it out of airplane mode and let the % drop to 0.

I've had the v3 leak and got the update yesterday. Can't really notice anything different other than I needed to download a new "My Verizon" app. All my software info is the same as most except my ERI ver is 5.

Still no update for me here in Southern NH...1 month old Eris still running 1.5

I also got the v2.1 email yesterday. That is not related to this update. We got it because we were on v2.1l3 and did not receive the official 2.1OTA. They still think we are on v1.5. This new update should bring us up to par as far as their database is concerned.

I was part of the few to receive this current update a couple of weeks ago. Other than version number differences, I have seen no difference in phone performance. I had not experience the silent phone bug so don't know if this update addressed that.

I received this email and was on 2.1ota

Has nothing to do with location.

I received the update this morning. I have used the camera which usually triggered the silent bug on my phone and it has not gone silent yet today or rebooted on it's own. Keeping my fingers crossed the update fixed that issue...

My coworker rec'd the update and I haven't. Any reason why?

It's supposed to be totally random. Location has nothing at all to do with it.

I havent recieved it either. I was at the verzion store talking to a salesman that had an eris too. As we were talking about it he looked at his phone and had apparently recieved the update while we were talkin about it and I didnt... um can we say "holy foot to testicles?"

I just got the update this AM and the only thing I notice is that the phone seems a bit more responsive, however, it also just rebooted. I DO have the 50% time without signal bug now where I did not have it before. It would be nice to know what this patch/update was SUPPOSED to fix...

mdeblaz · Jul 20, 2010

I got it last night and I'm pretty sure the *#*#checkin#*#* worked this time. A little after midnight I checked my phone to see if it had the update - Settings -> About Phone -> Check System Updates. Nothing. Then I did the checkin, got "checkin success" and checked the same area and the update was downloading.

wife's eris got it last Sunday,I'm still waiting for it

Don't expect to much out of this update. It really is just the update to the official 2.1 for those who were on the leak.

I do not expect that it will resolve any issues that already exist with 2.1.

The next meaningful update will be the one that an in-store Verizon rep told me will be coming in the fall! Ya, I know, what does that really mean!!!

This is not true. This update is supposed to fix the silent call bug issue. A few weeks ago they released this update and very few got it. The Eris, MOTO Droid, and Incredible all need an update to fix the silent call bug. VZW then pulled the update because, apparently, there was an issue with it. They just started rolling it back out.

This information came straight from VZW.

I received the update at 12:30 am this morning.

Got the update this morning, haven't noticed any changes other than my contacts/calendar won't sync now - even doing a manual sync - any suggestions? :mad:

mdeblaz · Jul 20, 2010

btw, what do the different version of the ERI mean? I know ERI stands for "Enhanced Roaming Indicator" and pretty much shows the text on your lock screen where it says Verizon Wireless, or Extended Network, or other...

I have ERI Version 5... someone else has ERI Version 3... what's the difference? Is it your contract plan?

Medic005 · Jul 20, 2010

Just got my update this morning at 7:56am Eastern Time. Haven't had much time to play with it yet to see any difference.

BoulderAndroidFan · Jul 20, 2010

Got update this morning. Took about 5 mins to install with multiple auto reboots. Seems to be more snappy---exchange email and apps load quicker and transition to home screen is more responsive. Haven't used the voice phone to notice any difference there. But that was supposed to be most important fix. (besides silent bug, which I had on a previous Eris but returned for a refurbished that worked fine.)

Barren · Jul 20, 2010

Do want update!

Still has the 50% Time without Signal Bug

shaggylouie · Jul 20, 2010

Go the update sometime over night. Downloaded it first thing this morning. Have not had a chance to see a true difference in performance, but I'm psyched to have finally received it.

Who got the update??
