Post Droid Eris 2.1 Findings HERE

Is anyone experiencing problems with bluetooth connectivity?

Two Isues
1. When I had 1.5 the bluetooth would connect to hand free phone in my car radio. With the 2.1 update it does not now. Just says invalid device. Still connect to bluetooth music though.

2. When pair with bluetooth stereo headphones, the sound will randomly cut out on me. When I disconnect the headphones sound still does not play. I have to restart the device to fix it.

Also: 2.1 has flash lite installed. I don't know if 1.5 had it as I immediately flashed to 2.1 when I got the phone.

I can't answer the bluetooth questions but yes 1.5 had flash lite.
 
Anyone having issues with the phone app??

I know that when you make calls and have the phone to your ear the screen blacks out to preserve battery life... On the 2.1 leak, when I make calls or accept them the screen either takes too long to black out or it blacks out and doesn't come back on for another 30sec-1min. I've removed the battery twice and I've done the factory reset and neither one of those have solved the issue..
 
mettown803- i get the same thing and it is driving me crazy. Sometimes I can't even make a call. I really hope that 2.1 official will solve this for us.

I got tired of it and decided to install the 2.1 leak again and it seems to happen less frequently. Idk if it will work the same for you. I found that if I shake the phone (lightly) I get a quicker response. I'm guessing there's an issue with the accelerometer*..
 
I have a problem I haven't seen addressed anywhere here yet.

After upgrading to 2.1, everything seemed to work fine. But then I got a call last night and answered it, but couldn't hear anything. And apparently, the person on the other end couldn't hear me. (This was shortly after receiving a call that I had no problems hearing, and I don't believe I played with the settings at all.) Tried again two more times and same thing. We were connected, but no one could hear anything.

I restarted my phone, and it began working fine. But this morning it happened again. (I also couldn't hear a message I was trying to play back in Google Voice.) I restared and again that fixed it, but obviously I don't want it to keep sliding into silence. Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas how to fix it? I'd like to keep 2.1 if possible, but if this keeps happening I'll just downgrade to 1.5. (Sigh)

i have this too
 
Not to sound like at petulant child, because I was the one who installed a leak on my phone, and now have to deal with the consequences, but it would be awesome if my phone would work as..you know, a phone.

I get the silent call bug at least twice a day, which means shutting down the phone, and having to log back into google, and go into airplane mode to fix the time with out signal bug.

I would be thrilled with this leak if only my phone were working as a phone. Is there a fix for this that I just haven't heard about yet?

Aside from this one issue, 2.1 is everything I had hoped it would be.
 
this actual phone issue is really making me want a new phone. or at least the official update. This is my home/business phone, not just my cell phone. Nexus, Incredible, updated eris, something needs to happen quick.
 
is there any way to disable the vibrate after a call is connected when making an outgoing call?
 
I just wish I could make an outgoing call without having to restart the phone.

I am confused as to why the incredibly intellegent hackers who brought us this leak (which was awesome of them) cannot find a way to fix these bugs that are making my awesome phone almost unusable.

Last time I download a leaked update.
 
well funny thing is i dont really make calls do i dont have a problem with it, i want to get the official update just so i can get at those apps that dont show on the market right now. also any apps we buy on the leak, will they be available to re-download on the official update

That's just it. It was a leak. Not ready for prime time. Many warnings were posted about installing at your own discretion.
My only question about it is why are some having all of these issues while others are not? Knock on wood but i am not having the phone issues and I don't use the bluetooth so not sure if I'm having those issues but i really don't care. Im curious as to how this happens when we are all using the same phone and downloaded the same file? I'm sure we are all running different apps but i would find it odd that apps would cause these problems that have been discussed on the forum. I can't think of any other reasons though. Anyone have any ideas as to how this happens?
 
if i download the leak of 2.1 will i be able to get the real version when verizon releases it?.... and if so how do i download the leak i am a newbie at this kind of stuff
 
i am a newbie at this tho..... is this something i will be able to do without knowing much about it? i wish i could pay someone to do it that knew what they were doing

there are walkthroughs but you hasve to have some technical knowledge of windows
 
i just found something out by accident

i was in another app and held down the search soft key and cleared my throat lol and it asked me if i wanted to call a contact and such. does that mean this is how you voice dial instead of holding the send key?

also whatever happend to voice to text on every field in 2.1? i don't see that anywhere or how to enable it?
