    Help Phone keeps shutting off

    There's no issue with my SD card I don't think, and it's an issue that has only recently started. Phone was completely fine for 4+ months, now it'll shut off 3+ times a day for no apparent reason, so instead of sending a quick text message I find myself having to turn the phone on as if it's...

    Help Problem with the phone, or problem with the battery?

    Not sure which it is, and the answer will lead me towards either a new, better phone, or just a new battery. I got my Eris a little over a year ago, so it's out of warranty, and it always had the occasional problem where it would either freeze when the screen was off, so I'd have to do a...

    Trackball stays lit

    I'm having a minor issue with my Eris, where my trackball stays lit at all times when the phone is on, and when the phone is off and it is plugged in, the trackball is lit as well. I don't have any missed calls/other notifications that would make the trackball flash. It's not the biggest...

    Looking for an app that turns off texting while I'm driving

    Looked around and saw some real expensive alternatives, but not really what I'm looking for anyway. I just want something where I can drive using the phone's GPS, and not have it interrupted by any texts during the trip. Then, after I'm done driving, have the texts arrive on the phone. I did a...

    What happens to navigation if you lose signal?

    Searched for this and couldn't find an answer...it's possible I didn't search hard enough though. What happens if you're using google nav and you lose 3G signal. Does the whole thing stop? I mean, the GPS should still be working, so it should still know where you are. Does the phone cache the...

    Which launcher do you use?

    I know there is a poll in the ADW thread, but that was directed at people who have already tried that. I'm curious because I haven't tried anything else, and I like sense, but I'm curious to see what most people have, and why. If you don't have sense, why do you like what you're using? If you...

    Sportacular's Live Scores app not showing up in the market...

    I know it's not the ONLY app not showing up in 2.1, but I'm not a fan of sports tap at all, and am looking for something better. There's nothing like ESPN Scorecenter really for the iPhone, but I didn't mind Sportacular's iPhone app and wanted to get it for the Eris. Any help would be appreciated.

    Weird Eris bug unrelated to 2.1

    This actually happened 5 minutes before I switched to 2.1, but it may just be a phone problem, I don't know. Like I said, I was running 1.5 at the time... I got a phone call, talked on the phone for a minute, and after I was done, the call wouldn't end. Clicking the end/power button didn't...

    Handcent Question

    I noticed that it stopped auto correcting my sentences so that following a period, the next letter is a capital. Is there a way I can restore this?

    Car Charger?

    Is it OK to use any car charger that says it works for the Eris, or is important to only go with HTC's? I ask because on Amazon there are Eris car chargers for a couple of bucks, when it's 15$ for the official one at verizonwireless.com

    Phone won't unlock...help

    Occasionally, the slide down to unlock doesn't work on my Eris, although right now is a first: It repeatedly won't let me unlock it despite putting it to sleep, then waking it up, etc. Usually a quick sleep and then up will solve it, but I can't unlock it. Is there any way I can fix this...

    Airplane Mode

    Probably a dumb question, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. During the day, I know that there are certain times when I'm in areas with little or no service for an extended period of time, and that tends to kill the battery. Recently, everytime I've entered this kind of area, I turn airplane...

    Start up sound and Wifi questions

    Is there a way to disable the start up sound on the Eris? Also, it recognizes my wifi network, I type in the password, it obtains the address, and then it says unsuccessful. Any help would be appreciated.
