If you are referring to the HTC Droid Eris FB page, it says that they are not affiliated with HTC, Android or VZW.

This happens because CDMA carries (Verizon and Sprint) don't allow text messages longer than 160 characters, for whatever reason. The Eris is actually good about letting you send and recieve in multiple messages. Most phones on Verizon will not even send or let you receive messages longer than 160.

I got this great new dock for the office. I rest the phone upright on my rolodex.

You can use Shop Savvy, which is also helpful when you're in the store to scan barcodes for prices and reviews. Another good one is Barcode Scanner. They are both popular apps and shouldn't be difficult to find in the Android Market.

I tried a lot of the task killers/managers and thought they were great until I started reading about how the linux operating system works. The first time I tried going without one, I went back (only tried for a day). Now I've been without it for a week and what a dramatic improvement; not just...

This used to happen to me when I had it plugged into my car. So annoying. Then I used Pandora for a while, but now when I use it, it seems to be fine.

I have been having this problem since I got the phone and just fixed it yesterday. Do you kill it with advance task killer? If so, ignore it (don't kill) and it will work.

When I first got my Eris, I had the same problem with the weather widget. After a week of use, it began showing the correct location. On LI, the towns are on top of each other and it works great. It may just need a few days to calibrate.

Hey everybody, thanks for all the information provided so far. The ONLY issue (minor) that I am having is in the stock messaging app. Next to each text within the thread, there is the contact's picture and my picture, respectively. Sometimes when I open the app, my picture is blank. The only way...
