    Root QuickOffice not in XTRrom? Can I get it back?

    QuickOffice was an excellent app included in the stock Eris. It seems to be missing from xtrROM3.03. I need it back, but don't want to leave this excellent ROM. Titanium backup seems to have backup the settings of Quickoffice, but not the app itself. Any way for me to get that app back?

    Root Titanium Backup - fail?

    Titanium Backup is acting weird. Here's the story: Was on E.E. 3.0. Wanted to try XTR. Backed up all apps to Titanium backup. Successful. Made a NAND backup. Successful. Wiped, flashed XTR. Successful. Downloaded Titanium Backup again from Market and opened it. Initially, did not...

    Root Internal Memory Storage (EE 3.0)

    OK - This may sound stupid, but I;ve been unclear about this for a while, and the ability to delete files etc, as root has confused me further: 1. Re: "Internal Memory", as defined in the SD Card and Storage (maybe not right words, phone not in front of me) Pref Panel - Clearly that is...

    Eris no longre gets hot or eats battery! But, can't sync google contacts...

    So, like many of you, my phone would occasionally get hot, and the battery would just zoom down to nothing. Usually this was just intermittent, and a restart would cure it. On June 10, it was happening, and persisted despite restarts, battery pulls, etc. I finally found that the problem...

    Formerly docile Eris, now misbehaving - Please help diagnose!

    My Eris had been a happy camper. Only problem was dialer lag. Today. Sometime between 3 and 4 PM, some process is running amok, and pegging the CPU to 100%, and of course, eating the battery alive. Here are the details: Phone usually gets a full 16 hours or so minimum of battery - At 3...

    Helix Launcher -- Am I missing something?

    After reading many threads lauding Helix Launcher -- I have to ask: Does anyone with Sense UI find Helix Launcher to be at all an improvement? I installed it based on all the good reviews it got, but now I am realizing that all the good reviews must be from people running the vanilla...

    2.1 v3 forces Sense UI to close a lot

    It isn't easy to summarize the problem in the title. So in 1.5 or 2.1 v1 or v2, it was very rare for the Sense UI Home app to have to re-launch. By this I mean when you click the home or back button to return to your Home screen, instead of seeing the home screen you see the black screen...

    Free space for apps?

    Hi all, Is there any function or even app on the phone that will tell me how much free space I have for apps on the phone? The "free space" number that is in ABout Phone, or in many many system tools type apps is misleading, because that is a combination of the app space and the working...

    Otterbox case disables proximity sensor

    I got an Otterbox (IMPACT) case for my wife's Droid Eris. I have verified that when the case is on, the proximity sensor does not operate at all. Take case off, works fine. Case is on correctly (there's not a whole lot of ways to have it on wrong). Pressing it harder onto my head...

    Stock 2.1 Browser Breeds Windows

    The stock browser has always had the nice feature of being able to open a new window (tap menu, and you will see "windows") In 2.1, however, this has gone awry. It seems that any time you navigate to a new site, either by using a bookmark or by typing in a new URL, it does so by opening a...

    The vibrate is better in 2.1!!

    So, in 1.5 there were all these complaints (from me, too) that the vibrate on the Eris is useless. It was. But with 2.1, I can definitely feel a difference. Well, I can feel it at all, which is a huge difference. So kudos to HTC for seeing a problem and fixing it. Could be stronger, but...

    gif files from hell!!! Help!

    When I go to Photos (in 2.1) or Albums (1.5), I see, in addition to the folder structure that I set up on my SD card, a whole list of gif files that I don't want to see. Moreover I can't figure out where they are living. According to the Photos app, they are on root level, but I can't see...

    Aaugh! My Ears!

    So, here's a really annoying thing. You put on your headphones, turn the Media Volume down so as not to blast out your eardrums, (since the phone wasn't programmed smart enough to adjust the volume when you attach headphones), and you begin listening to your music or podcast or whatever...

    M4v frustrations

    Hi all, I know the general topic has been discussed, but I can't find an answer to this specific issue. Downloaded a music video on itunes. It is xx.m4v. ERIS's media app (Albums) won't play it. From what I understand, there is no DRM anymore on iTunes purchases (and I'm not sure that...

    First hard crash after update

    Did the OTA update today. All seemed fine (except for the very annoying issue with the unlock screen). But on a phone call this evening, When I took the phone away from my face, I saw it was on the lock screen (which shouldn't ever appear in a phone call). The call was still active...

    Irritating Eris "features". Can they be changed?

    1) In the Phone app. Above (and extending behind the keypad) is a list of your contacts. Contacts which have no First or Last Name" but which do have a company name, just show up as "Unknown" with a phone number. The obvious thing would be to show the Company name if there is no personal...
