    should i root?

    My phone dialer lag was so bad I was about to throw my Eris out the window. The other day I bit the bullet and rooted to xtrsense 3.1 beta test xtrSENSE4.0! [ROM] [8/12/2010] xtrSENSE3.1 [apps2sd,jit,oc]- HTC Sense - xda-developers using the universal root for dummies: Universal Eris Root for...

    How often do you reset your phone?

    I run the same apps. Pre OTA update I rarely rebooted the phone. Now it is every other day or so, due to HUGE lag in the phone dialer.

    Auto reboot to help with lag?

    I'd rather not go down the task-killer path. I've used them before, but I think the 'let android deal with killing apps' is the best approach. If I am going to spend time looking at running apps, choosing which ones to kill etc., I might as well do the no-brainer and just reboot the phone. Takes...

    Auto reboot to help with lag?

    After my OTA update I find that after running for a few days my Eris gets VERY laggy. Drives me crazy. And after a reboot bada-bing! phone is (reasonably) snappy again :eek:. Also after so many days the GPS cannot lock. Reboot, and the GPS instantly locks. My old blackberry had a feature to...

    2.1 ota!

    I realize once you read the thread you'd see it isn't an about a 2.1 OTA update. That's the whole point. I'd never bother to read the thread if it had been properly titled. How many people saw "2.1 OTA!" and jumped in to read about this exciting news, only to find out the OP was... mistaken...

    2.1 ota!

    Could someone change the name of this thread to something other than "2.1 ota!" I can't for the life of me figure out how someone would accidentally think 2.1 ota current exists, let alone create a thread with that title.

    Eris - A ploy?

    Except you don't get the option for the HQ video. Problem not solved (for me, anyway). I think it is HORRIBLE that HTC let this bug slip in. Very shoddy engineering.

    GPS was horrible on east coast

    Sorry I haven't replied (I'm the OP). I was always had on "use GPS", not the horrible cell tower triangulation. When I was in Richmond/DC, it didn't work the first night. It literally put me in the Atlantic ocean. About 1/2 way between the US Coast and Bermuda. The google maps screen was just...

    GPS was horrible on east coast

    I live in Colorado. The GPS in my Eris has worked well since I got the phone. Over Christmas I went to Williamsburg VA and DC. When I got off the plane the GPS was all goofed up. It showed me out in the Atlantic. I know it can take GPSs a while to "re-sync" after a big move like this. But it was...
