    How to prep Eris to sell on eBay?

    Any advice or guide re: wiping a phone and prepping it to sell? I see the "factory reset" instructions everywhere, however I've already upgraded to a new phone and I would guess I can't "activate" my phone at the end of those processes. Advice? Thank you in advance...

    If your phone heats up using wifi:

    Solution: When using your phone as an access point (i.e. wifi tethering) place it on top of an ice bag or an ice pack to keep it cool and functioning properly. This also helps it to charge faster an more completely. Do not place it in a way that it could get wet.

    I officially retired my Eris yesterday

    Got a shiny new Droid 3 so I'll be hanging with those folks. I'm sure I'll lurk in here from time to time as always. Many thanks go to the "elders" here in the Eris forum. TONS of things I would have never known or tried without you folks.

    Root New to rooting the Eris? Do *not* install KaosFroyo or Kaos Gingerbread

    The subject line says it all - a lot of people new to rooting decide to install KaosFroyo (or Kaos Gingerbread) for some reason, and it is not something that somebody who is new to the process should be doing. If you want faster stock, with more space for installing apps, try xtrSENSE...

    I'm curious: who else is still using the Eris as their phone?

    Of course we are well past the point where people like me, who bought the Eris early, were able to get upgrades. I'm wondering how many people, besides me, are still using the Eris as their primary phone?
