Official: Droid Eris 2.1 Update Coming Tomorrow 5/11

by: Kellex | posted 05.10.10 | News

The update for the Droid Eris was rumored to be coming “soon” and it looks like “soon” meant May 11th. Initially, we weren’t sure if it would be coming with 2.1 as the Verizon site failed to mention anything about the OS on their official page. Luckily they include that info when informing their employees.

More info coming…

Receiving the update now in New Mexico. Worried about what might not work once it's done. Also says your contact addresses have to be resync'd and I have no idea what that means? Any help with that, please?

I have a Moto Droid, but my wife has the HTC Droid Eris. Her update just came through, it is rebooting. Can't wait to see what happens

We live in the Portland, OR metro area (south of Milwaukie, OR – 97222)

Wow, that took a loooong time to come back up. Got several splash screens — Android, HTC, and then Verizon – that last one was on for about 3 minutes, I was afraid it was bricking. Finally came up with her wallpaper (photo of the cat) and now says 'Loading… It may take several minutes to complete, please wait”.

Firmware Version: 2.1
Baseband Version: 2.42.00.04.12
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-8a03cb9a htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Software Number: 2.36.605.1

PRI Version: 2.11_002
PRL Version: 51731
ERI Version: 5

JPS

Did the update wipe the phone data? Apps, texts or anything else? My wife is still waiting for the update on hers. I hope it speeds up loading and deleting of long text message threads. That is my wifes biggest complaint about the phone.

On another website they have a list of newly supported items for the eris. One being: camera- flash support? Seems kinda hard to support when there is no flash on the phone?!?!

So will the Eris update have the news & weather widget like the Droid 2.1?
Also..is btunes a 2.1 app? Can't get it on the Eris.

Hey any news for the new Android 2.2 if our droid phones are getting it, and if will be able to use the SD card for APP storing???
Thegoldendroid

Ok its me again Droidsters and I need your help.. I rooted last week and Im have just a couple problems… Sorry to take over the Eris update thread but I thought if I did it here someone would help me faster..
1. Alot of my friends are saying they called or text and Im not gettin them. (it says system down when they try)
2.when Im on a call with prompts and try to press a number ( like press #1 for english) it wont recognize it…
3. when I try and update (*228) the dial pad doesnt come up.
4. Phone lags in between screens.

If some could please help I would appreciate it…cause at this point Im just ready to go back to stock

Did you do the baseband update as well? check yours in settings where you would find the software version. If your baseband ends in anything other than 03 do the update in ROM manager… What ROM are you running?

Thegoldendroid

The baseband is c_01.3E.03p Im running jrummy's remix v0.7 cyanmod 5.5.6.2

Lee

I would do a re-install of the rom and wipe data and cache. I assume you wiped data and cache when you first loaded it right? I've had various issues with every rom before and in every case doing a fresh re-install took care of it. I have used jrummy's remix .7 and it was flawless so you should be good after a fresh install. (don't forget to wipe data and cache since you are having problems)

Good luck!

There should be a poll to see how many guys got their wives/girlfriends the eris just to justify their moto droid purchase. Lol

cylentz

haha thats good. My wife actually did get the Eris about a month and a half ago, I tried telling her to get the Droid, though like women, they do there own thing

*sigh* I had to get my mom one. Now I pay for both data plans and all she does is the same stuff she does on her old phone (play solitaire). In addition to complaining about not knowing how to use it all the time. It's annoying but in the end it's worth it to own a friggen droid.

got my wife one … but honey, yours is free if I get the Droid, no shame here … LOL

BTW, the update just came through on her Eris…

Nice.

The admin is gay for deleting my comment stupid noob

My sister will be happy… she has been jealous of my Droid for a long time now and this will kind of give her some of the same stuff
andrew401

lol yeah lets face it tho the Eris is very outdated. It's a good little phone but is just way too slow. I guess it's a good phone tho for people who don't mind the lag. Because, other then that it's great. I just could not take it and had to switch to the Droid. Even my Droid overclocked to 1.1 GHZ is not fast enough for me haha

Avery42

hmmm good point who cares bout moto droid ? lets face it the incredible is out and faster than moto droid. fyi my eris has no lag

Ziv

Any idea why the Eris doesn't support Google's speaking nav app? I was hoping that this update would..
Do I need to root my parents' Eris phones, so that they would get that functionality?

brandonmee

Yeah because voice navigation wasn't part of android til 2.0.1 so this should fix that. If it is true full android 2.1 they will have the voice navigation.

Ziv

Awesome. Thank you for the reply We'll know in a few hours

HopefulEris

Is this the same (or close) build as the 2.1 Root version floating around?
http://OceanCitySurfReport.com Mick

Bullshit! I dont think they should be upgraded to 2.1! Maybe 2.0
debrihmi

If there's one thing that I've learned about Verizon's updates (rooted my Moto Droid) it's that you don't believe the update is coming until it's done installing on your device. I think I'll hold off on telling the wife she's got an update coming until it ACTUALLY shows up..

http://twitter.com/Durrock2000 Derek Weber

I told my wife to make sure she's all backed up, just in case. It might happen, I just saw a flying pig!

Tru1151

No update…

Mrpicolas

Wow only 2 weeks before the froyo debut

wolverinefan

So that means what we getting the 2.2 with the flash, and the SD app storage or those are just rumors

Mrpicolas

Suppose to be debuted at mobile conference later this month and public beta
in June if it goes thru vzw could be longer not sure about the Eris though
far as I heard nexus1 and Droid Google's been handing these out to
developers like crazy for the upcoming confrence
