I'm having issues with my Verizon Droid Eris. I can send MMS photos, but I cannot receive. It just says "Message not download. Retransmission scheduled on XX:XX" Also when I try to select something on my main screen, for example 'messages', it'll go to something else. (people, recent calls, pdf viewer... anything but messages.)
View 5 RepliesAny idea how to transfer contact info (or any other data) from an AT&T Samsung phone to the Eris? Clearly, due to the two different system I can't just use the SIM card from the Samsung. Tried bluetooth but after pairing the two phones the Eris showed: "Paired but not connected". (I entered 0000 as PIN code for both phones (no idea what those PIN codes might be)) and I got that message. Also, the phone is connected to my wireless (signal strength is excellent, speed 54 Mbps, channel 1 (I don't know what it means)) network but the browser is not working, I can't open any website. Can it be some setting issue?
Oh, the Eris is not activated at this moment on any mobile network, but the browser should work when I'm on my own wireless network, shouldn't it?
I have flashed verizon Droid Eris to Pageplus. It's working great. the only issue is I am using lot of data and end up in using all the 50MB in a couple of weeks.Any tricks to decrease data usage.I am using Wifi whenever I can. I try to disable mobile internet as many times I remember.

I tried several sprint prls and it still doesnt work. I slap the original verizon prl on the phone and I get full service bars.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThink of buying a used Droid Eris in top condition, so that I can use a well known Verizon MVNO.
Of course I'm not trying to compare the Eris with an iPhone in terms of syncing up with a Mac .... but as far as a touch screen device, typing / touching accuracy, user interface experience .....
How does the Eris with 2.1 / 2.2 compare to the iPhone 3Gs? Since I'm going to be paying for a non-Contract phone -- the Eris is the only one I am considering.
i have tried to configure an imap ssl mail account on port 993 which has a self signed certificate. After entering the server and user settings etc, the connection test just ends without any message, showing the server settings page again. To my opinion a popup should appear instead, asking if I would like to accept the certificate. But as there is no chance to proceed to the next config page it is currently not possible to configure such a mail account. Several other users in german android forums are complaining this as well. Because the same server and settings perfectly work with my older HTC hero I assume that this must be a bug in the new htc mail app.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using a Droid Eris and a BlueAnt V1 earpiece. The BlueAnt offers voice-controlled speed dial on with phones that "adhere to the Bluetooth specification for speed dialing."For example, I should be able to say "Call Speed Dial 8", and the headset would tell the phone what to do. The V1 recognizes my commands (and repeats them), but when it sends them to the Eris, I always get a last-number redial.I suppose that means the Eris isn't fully Bluetooth compliant. Odd for a relatively new phone. Any hope in getting this to work? (and is this the best place to ask?)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a HTC Droid Eris and it has a 5 mp camera.I notice it takes decent pics...if I upload them directly from my phone to flickr the quality stays intact.but if I use the facebook uploader or upload it via the facebook app the quality diminishes
Is there a way for me to upload directly to facebook without losing quality?or do i have to manually do it through usb or flickr? thanks
does the Droid Eris show a satellite view when using the navigation like the Motorola Droid

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrade to Jelly Bean I think:
Cannot send photos in text messages any more.
When I call someone, the call starts and a notice says "Speaker On" every time, no matter how many times I switch it off. How do I stop this from happening?Also, at random intervals, the screen turns itself on, draining battery life significantly. Why does this happen?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was curious if you could bypass the forced activation screen on the Eris and make it to the home screen. I know you can do it on the Droid but I cannot figure it out for the Eris.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe last two nights I've plugged my Eris into the wall charger and it doesn't charge. The battery icon shows the lightning bolt and appears to be charging but when I wake up in the morning the battery level is still below 50%.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to jump into the smartphone world (I currently just have a flip phone) and I think the Eris is just the perfect form factor for me. But I heard it's running an old version of the Android OS (1.5). The guy at the Verizon store said the Eris would likely be getting the Android 2.0 or 2.1 OS in the next month or two. I figure I should wait as the current 1.5 version does not give you free Google maps navigation. The 2.0/1 will. Plus it will operate significantly faster.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out what they do and what they mean. So far, here's what I think I've figured out. The translucent white track ball on the bottom blinks slowly about every 10 seconds when you have a new email or message. The top tiny LED to the right of the ear piece glows steady green when fully charged and steady red when charging. I recall it blinking green at one point but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to make it do this or what that would mean.Do any of you have any info. about either the [phantom] blinking green LED or any other status light issues?

I was wondering if anyone has tried out the Droid Eris on PP.If so, does data and MMS work properly? What issues have there been?, if any?
View 15 Replies View Related...I like the form factor of the Eris and I think it offers some functionality that the iphone (current version) doesn't. But then there's the apps available for the iphone and some other things.Based on what we know currently of the soon to be released Verizon iphone, what would you guys do?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI got the update to Android 2.1, and I am very happy with it . However, ever since I upgraded, my weather widged is not working. As soon as I open it, it opens up but without any data, then an error pops up for a fraction of a second (cant really read it), and then it gets stuck (mostly black). It is not an after market widged, so I guess I can not just uninstall it and then re install it... what would be the way around it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I insert a photo into a text message my C1-01 automatically forces the image(s) to be displayed as a slideshow. Is there any way to prevent this?I've found the MMS settings which allow me to say how long each slide should display for, but I can't see an option to turn off the creation of slideshows in the first place. It's particularly annoying when I'm sending just one photo. I don't need it to be displayed on the screen for x seconds, then to disappear! This is mostly a problem when texting my mum (who has a HTC Wildfire) as she is a novice phone user and struggles when receiving slide shows.
View 2 Replies View RelatedLiving 5 mins. away from RIM in Waterloo I got myself a BB Bold 9700 2 weeks ago. Dataplan and everything from Rogers. Much to my aggravation I'm unable to send photos via MMS - I'm sure I'm doing it right as I followed the instructions while on the phone w. the IT BB specialist at the University of Waterloo. I was able to send a photo to her but to nobody else which includes a BB user neighbour, my son on Telus in Vancouver, a friend w. a Bell plan on a Palm. What gives? I could send a photo lickety split on my previous Motorola and I didn't even have a data plan. I'm sooooo frustrated. I tried to send the MMS with the photo in the "small" picture setting.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a blackberry bold 9700, which was given to me last week by my uncle. I unlocked it and added an orange simcard, without paying for email (however next month I will have bbm)The software version is 5.0.0.351. My problem is that there is not an option to send photos via text, there is bluetooth, flickr and email, but not over text. This is a real pain, especially coupled with the fact that i cannot receive photos either, for some reason, multiple people have tried! Is there anything that could be wrong with how I have set the blackberry up? I don't have OS 6 because I haven't paid for the blackberry service, however I would hope that I would still be able to send and receive photos on the earlier software.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIt started when I did an update on my phone software. Since then I could not receive photos, when one was sent this message would appear:***Not Retrieved Yet***(A clickable button) Download NowExpires : (A date and time)Whenever I clicked the download now button, it would say Retrieving Content but nothing else would happen after that.I tried sending photos and it said changing to MMS mode, but when I click send, it says Switing to SMS mode and where the delivery sign should be is a red X,I was able to send and receive photos prior to the update.
