Adrynalyne, not sure if your reply is directly to me, but I updated 2 days ago manually. I would think the market would update by now. thanks,

I manually updated on Tuesday or Wednesday and found Google Earth in the market then. I just checked the market and it's gone. It does appear in my market downloads and the app seems to work fine. Maybe it was pulled?

Still there for me.

It was directed to people in general. Good to know, thats obviously not the problem then. It does show up for me though, so...there must be some ESE81 fingerprint issues to be worked out with the market (on their end).

I updated yesterday afternoon, and Google Earth still isn't showing up in the market.

droid 2.1 battery life

I did the manual update to 2.1 three days ago. Since then my battery hasn't lasted a full day. Prior to the update it would easily last a full day. Has anyone else noticed decreased battery life after the 2.1 update?

I doubt it's location - its most likely run off of some serial number system that only motorola and verizon knows or cares about.

True, not based on location, but not based on serial numbers either. It just randomly picks ESN numbers and goes from there

Flash is a separate update altogether, and based, I believe, solely when adobe is ready

This is true. Adobe says they'll release it halfway through the year (end of Q2?)

Generic, I know about the star. My problem is that it has never worked. It'll turn yellow, but doesn't put the contact into faves. Return to it, and it's not yellow.

One more minor gripe, I thought Flash was supposed to come in the 2.1? Flash sites still don't work.

Odd, then your software is flawed in some way.

Could be because you are running some app that has something to do with the dialer?

Perhaps you cannot star "facebook only" contacts?


Or you just need a different one.

 

[CharlieL3]

Not a bit. It hasn't increased much, but it hasn't diminished, either.

 

[taeisme]

Not at all. Sorry.

How to for 2.1

I just got my update for 2.1. Now I need some how to's to learn how to work. Can we start a list of new features and how to use/install them.

For example, I understand you can add home screens, how do I do that.

Thanks

 

[WAM]

you can't, sorry. have to use a 3rd party app for that, sorry

the only thing that seems to decrees it for me is the live wall papers

Got my Android 2.1 Update for my Motorola Droid this morning. To be honest - its nice but i wasn't overwhelmed ...

 

[mediocre inc]

my wife got 2.1 and i didn't.

My wife got the 2.1 update and I did not. If I wouldn't hurt myself I would throw myself to the ground and have a good old fashioned temper tantrum.
I mean she won't even appreciate it. Garbage.
Just wanted to bitch a little.

 

[jms67]

I'm not sure if my battery life is any better because I can't stop playing with the phone

same problem

 

[Jared DiPane]

Why don't you just apply the same update, but manually, and then tell her haha you got it too? That would be much easier then wanting to hurt yourself, or looking foolish in doing so...
