How many Eri have you gone through?

[smacky]

Mine does that. So can I call it a Greek Goddess or what?

Sure. It's mini-USB port is your oyster. Do what you wish to it.

 

[Frisco]

If it truly was a Greek Goddess, it would make and maintain a call for more than three minutes.

Is this about your Eris? Your carrier? Your state of impairment while attempting to use your phone?

Getting another replacement today, the mic went out

That just happened to my daughter's. We swapped it out so she is on her 2nd. My husband thought she broke it and she was almost grounded until the Verizon rep told him they see this problem a lot and they would just send a new one.

 

[doogald]

it IS named after the desire, its code named desirec. you can check in the boo.img for init.desirec and multiple other mentions of it in the software. BUT! its still Eri

An acceptable plural or iris is irides. I think that I like that one: Erides.

I think that there is little doubt that the Eris was named from its code named, plus we can take the whole code name backwards and say that everyone who has received a lemon was Erised. Perfect.

 

[Frisco]

So far about 80% of Eris users claim to have not needed a replacement.

 

[andrizoid]

your right frisco, but i dont see how. i treat my phone good, i have a body glove hardcase on it at all times. i think its the constant flashing and testing that i do on it...which wont be an issue afer i get this one since ive been donated a phone from one of you extremely awesome AF users.

 

[Hypo Luxa]

I kinda doubt that it came from the Greek Goddess.. being that she's the goddess of strife, not the sort of image they want to attach to a product!

The problem with Erised is that there is a particular mirror in the Harry Potter stories called the mirror of Erised, and I believe the author had a copywrite on that title... abd Erise is an ugly word.

By the way.. still on numero uno!

Pretty happy with my Eris in all respects except for speed. And it's been my one and only one.

 

[Katee]

I think I am on Eris #5 so far. Here's a listing of issues I've had:

Battery heats up, really heats up, drains completely and dies.
Touch the text message button goes into your email instead.
Black screen of death, stuck on HTC logo for hours.
Can not answer calls, hit answer and nothing happens, go to call person back and realize the phone actually did answer (sometimes) and they are now in your voicemail somehow. Weird!

I received a new phone July 22nd in the store, refurbished of course. The tech tried it out first and the speaker was awful and crackling. Wait 20 more minutes while she got another refurbished phone. Good thing she tried it.

Got another refurbished Eris yesterday, as it was not answering again and not letting me text. The tech says they don't see many of these come back. Yeah Okay (lol). The speaker on the back is bad on this one. It crackles.

My question is, how many times until they finally give me a different phone. I don't want the motorola because I like sense. Any ideas?

I'm on #4

1st - shorted speaker causing battery drain(i.e 5hr battery life)

2nd - silent call bug.

3rd - scrolling to left bug/USB port malfunction

4th - WINNER!!! No issuses! Perfect! Only made better by rooting and adding the 3500mAh extended run time battery.

That's four Eroonie.

You should have kept going; your fifth Eris may have been previously owned by some wealthy person who left his or her bank account info on the contact card.

 

[SplicedX]

haha! sadly the phones were fully wiped. it would have been nice to commit a wii bit of wire fraud though.

Frisco, on a side note, im trying Kaos Froyo v31 and i keep getting an out of SD card space when i try to move apps over to SD. Any ideas?

 

[LyndaM]

I answered 4, even though I am only on my 3rd. The reason why I said 4 is because the 3rd one has NOT been a charm. In fact, the 3rd one is the worst one so far. I was procrastinating about dealing with it because I am in the middle of a kitchen renovation. We went over on minutes last month and when I called them to change the plan--I asked for some technical help. They finally agreed to replace it with a Droid 2--which should arrive tomorrow. YAY!!! I never had any problems until the 2.1 update--since then it has been a nightmare. Well, I did have a lot of problems with the keyboard--until I found Swype.

this new phone has killed my sdcard-4times since i got it a few days ago. they gave me a dud

 

[ACD168]

send er back. it was prolly one of my old ones

 

[thenestor]

My first Eris, received in December, had the silent call bug after I upgraded to 2.1 in March. My refurbished replacement, received in May, works just fine so far.

 

[andrizoid]

send er back. it was prolly one of my old ones

i already got my stealth guard put on it though

(they are sexy as hell)

 

[Deleted User]

I'm on my second.. the first had the silent call issue and horrid call lag. I was about ready to throw it across the room.

I rooted the replacement, and installed KaosFroyo on it. It's been a dream ever since.

 

[OfTheDamned]

Still on my one and only. My girlfriend is on her second.

 

[grvthang]

I'm on my second one. I had the first one until about three weeks ago, when I lost it. I got the second one through Assurion. It looks new, rather than a refurb, and it is just as laggy and buggy as the first.
