Make sure that the SD card has been formatted by the Eris. I dropped the SD card from my old phone into my Eris and the update just wouldn't work. I then formatted and all was well.

That question has been coming up since the leaks first appeared.
Even if it is not possible to receive the OTA, the software will likely be available via download in a similar fashion as the leaked versions. Perhaps even from a server at Verizon at some point.

Going to pick up my Eris in an hour or so. I've been following this thread for some time now, hoping that 2.1 will go OTA by the time I get mine but, since it is not, I am going to hold off on the leak. This is my first Android phone... hell, it's my first smartphone. Also my first HTC, as I've always had Motorola feature phones and Nokia basic phones in the past.
But I am curious to know if anyone has compiled a list of bugs that are common to serveral users, and forwarded the list to Google, Verizon, and HTC. After all, you guys are sort of unofficial testers and are doing a lot of their work for them. Perhaps all these bugs being reported on this forum are holding off the OTA while they try to iron them out? Either way, I'd be happier to wait for them to release a final version knowing that they've worked out everything you guys find.

This. It's getting to the point where I think this post should just pop up when people visit the Eris Forums.

so who likes the version of 2.1 on the first page better than the original leaked one? Are there any newer ones out since the one on the first page of this thread? Any major problems?
I have been waiting for 2.1 since December and i believe it will come but i am tired of waiting. Is one of these versions worth downloading? Any negative side affects? I would rather not read all 1000 posts, i just want to know what has been established through this thread about the 2.1 leaks and weather or not they are worth it. Thanks

First time poster here; I got my ERIS last Wednesday and while searching for Accessories on Friday, this thread came up. I read a bit that night then dove back in on Saturday night and after about an hour of reading (only got to page 7 of the thread), decide to take the plunge. I have not experienced any of the bugs discussed here, maybe because my phone was nearly new so still in pristine state. In any case, I love the user interface and its great being able to access both of my Gmail accounts without having to use IMAP for one of them.

That'd be too perfect... I just caved and went from V1 to V2. Booting up right now... oh how the stock wallpaper makes me sad.

Okay... this bugger really IS faster! I'm pretty impressed. But I do have one new problem. I'm sure it's been addressed but I couldn't find it with search and I don't remember seeing it.
People seems to have only imported my Facebook contacts through "R". So... anyone whose first name starts with A-R will automatically link, but my Google contacts named S-T can't find a matching Facebook profile. When I try to manually link the profiles, I scrolled to the bottom of the list of Facebook names, and that's how I saw that the list cuts off at "R".
I tried going into Accounts & Sync and refreshed Facebook, but there was no change.
Ideas?

SOLVED
I removed my facebook for sense account from accounts and sync and then re-added it. I had to re-enter my email and password and wait for it to sync up again. This time it synced completely after several minutes. Something must have interrupted or canceled the process early on after I finished installing the update.

Can someone please make a list of all bugs with 2.1v2.
v2 is the latest? right.
Also there was a thread of how to return to stock 1.5, I believe. Can some post that link to if it still active. I can not find it. Thx in advance to who ever post the answer to my question.

Theres a stickied thread at the top of the forums - you'll have to sift through it a bit. And no, there's no way to get back to 1.5 from 2.1.

Finally got my Eris Monday. I almost can't wait for the 2.1 OTA but I really don't want to risk screwing up this phone.I want Google Navigation more than anything else. How is it running for all you with various leaked versions?

I've only used it a couple times, but so far it's been very good. The GPS is very accurate and the turn-by-turn directions were correct, although the voice is not as smooth as my other units.
One thing I really like about it is it's very easy to enter a destination. My other GPS units (built in Mazda & Garmin) are not nearly as user friendly and I suspect it's the power of Google maps making the difference.

Hey Chop. Just wondering how you were able to reinstall your apps after updating. I have a couple of games (some in beta) that I have downloaded and am currently testing and I was worried that if I installed the new 2.1 leak or if the OTA finally came out that these games and apps would be lost and I would have to pay for them again. No one has given a straight answer. If I update, how can I keep these apps without having to pay for them all over again? I had Baseball Superstars (full paid version) on my 1.5 Eris and when I upgraded to 2.1 original leak I lost it (I think). Anyways, any help or a basic walk-through for future reference would be great. Thanks.

Hey Mortal, the navigation and GPS on my 2.1 original leak works perfect. Besides having to sign-in to google after reboot (which is a rare occasion) I have not noticed too many bugs with the 2.1 leak. I play games, watch movies, scan for police, navigate, and many other things and I am extremely satisfied with how much smoother and quicker the 2.1 runs compared to 1.5. Especially being able to watch Youtube videos (even in HD!!!). I couldn't even watch any when running 1.5. Everyone is great about answering questions in these forums and I wouldn't have learned as much as I have without their help. I love 2.1 and besides the fact that I can't root I am not the least bit sorry that I updated when the original 2.1 leak came out. Although, I am considering going to the Nexus One or Incredible if the OTA isn't available soon. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.
