    Eris to iPhone - Wise move?

    I've been using an Eris for the past 18 months. When I first got the thing I loaded all kinds of applications and rather quickly discovered that I really had no interest in most of them. Today I use the Eris for making and taking calls, email (GMail & Exchange), calendar, and web browsing...

    Getting better battery life today

    I'm getting better battery life on my Eris today (stock 2.1). I've already used it more than most days and yet the battery meter is reading more charge. What changed you ask? Applied a Facebook update. Removed the official Twitter app and replaced it with Seesmic. Swype stopped...

    Help Google Voice on the Eris

    I have a problem using Google Voice on the Eris. The problem is that I can't answer the calls quickly enough to prevent them from going to voicemail. Some background: I have Google Voice set to screen calls from unknown sources. For those unfamiliar with Google Voice, you can configure it to...

    Appointment Reminders

    Exchange ActiveSync Not Actively Syncing

    Last week when I was on 1.5 the Exchange ActiveSync worked properly about 90% of the time. What I mean is that within a few seconds of an email reaching my Outlook inbox on my desktop PC, my Eris would chirp indicating that the message just arrived. This week now that I'm on 2.1 the 90%...

    Q. How to sync more calendar days

    First off, sorry if this question has been asked and answered before but I did try searching and came up blank. I'm new to Eris and smartphones in general. I'm using the stock HTC calendar application that comes on the Eris to sync with both my personal Google calendar and my Exchange...
