    Dying Eris, Asurion question

    I had my Eris replaced just a couple months ago and they sent me another Eris, so they may still have them in stock via refurb's. Be aware though that you may likely be charged for a replacement. Per my insurance plan, I had to pay a $50 deductible to get a replacement.

    Convert Phone to a mini-PDA (remove 3G/Phone capabilities)??

    I was wondering if anyone happened to know of any way to remove the phone and 3G capabilities from an Eris so that I can use it via WiFi for apps and email and not have it try to connect to the Verizon network and mess up my newly activated phone. I did a brief search for ROMs of said nature...

    repeated contacts

    Yeah, my wife and I had this issue with duplicates when we first got our phones and it did the "sync" to Gmail. I ended up having to go into Gmail, create a backup of all the contacts in there, then merged the duplicates that showed up in Gmail and deleted the contacts that only had emails...

    Touchscreen horked up after latest OTA Update.

    yeah, i am able to get the finger swipe to work from the bar down, however, it seems a bit less user friendly as I sometime run out of screen real estate on the swipe and it remains locked.. guess ill be using the menu button to do the unlocking from now on. :)

    Touchscreen horked up after latest OTA Update.

    Yeah, im still have trouble with the whole slide down to unlock and even slide down to answer a call is not functioning as cleanly as it used to. The lag in normal touchscreen functions has seemed to disappear after I rebooted the phone.
