mitchell- cant find it for 2.1. It is currently available for 1.5. Could you help me out a little please. Thanks in advance.
 
why does the 2.1 facebook sync bring OVER every contact when I try to send a text message.

I only want FB pictures not fake phone numbers.


Any1 else agree?

If I understand what you want correctly, I think you just go to the People app, hit Menu>View and un-check "Facebook" from the list.
 
Two things:

1. On my Eris with 2.1, I just have to switch to airplane mode for a few seconds, then back to normal, every time I reboot in order to remove the "Time without a signal: 50%" bug. No need to plug it in beforehand. The only point of plugging it in is to reset the counter.

2. Handcent has been updated and seems to be working with 2.1 now. Thank goodness, because I still prefer it over ChompSMS.
 
Ok cool, thanks. The current build in testing is software number ending in .4, other than that its all the same.
 
Well, got my replacement phone. Only bad thing is a dead pixel in the far bottom right corner. Now the problem is: what should I do? Root? Leak? Wait?

Being a bit selfish I'd like you to root and let us know how it is. I've got the 2.1 leak and know how well that is working. Ultimately its your phone so do whats best for you (root!). :}
 
i would say the same but i think your better off waiting for the official cause in root yah you go to 2.1 but you lose sense, im not sure but i think i read that on the xda forums, and the leak..... well its the leak lol i have the leak and its cool but i think i should have stayed with the 1.5 that why if 2.1 dose not come out buy march 1 i could go to the verizon store make a really big deal and try to return it for the incredible :/

I think we'll see root with the 2.1 leak or the ability to go back to 1.5 soon. These guys are good.
 
Contact groups?

In Contacts, do the default Google groups (friends, family, coworkers... ) appear/sync w/2.1
 
Yes, I had the 2.1 leak on my old Eris. My speaker somehow blew, and they shipped me this refurb(which I am not too happy about). Refurb has 1.5. WOW what a difference...much much smoother experience with the leak. But I am definitely not going back to the leak. Even though they will eventually find a way out of the leak or how to root it, I'm not going to want to wait. As far as I know, they have not released the root to public yet. If I am wrong can somebody please direct me towards it. I will definitely be rooting once it comes out to public. Although I have to say, I am completely unfamiliar with a rooted phone, and what it can do. Do people just configure and fix things in a sweet way and upload it as a ROM for us to download? For instance will they be able to fix the Youtube app problem? I just want to know how smooth my phone will run with root. And from what I know, with the capabilities root comes with, i'm sure you can have sense if you want?
 
Well if I remember correctly, they didn't have it available to public earlier. But the download seems to be up there now. Hmm....such a big decision. Jump the gun or no? I think i'll sleep on it ;)

Edit: I always post on here before I try something lol. Upon further investigation, I watched a vid of an Eris with 2.1 and Root. Definitely rooting, once I figure out how...

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.
