Any 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 am trying to flash this droid over to sprint. when I write the sprint prl to the phone it accepts it, but does not get any service. system ID is correct. 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.
Think 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.
I 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?)
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.)
I 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
Since installing a new Netgear 7550 modem/router from AT&T, I have been having trouble with the WiFi on my Verizon Razr. I can connect to the network and browse just fine for a while, but eventually the WiFi indicator changes from blue to grey and no apps will load data. This includes not being able to load webpages. I also notice that once the icon goes grey, only the upward pointing triangle within the WiFi indicator comes on. Of course restarting the phone or rebooting the router restores the connection for a time, but eventually it drops again. Once the icon turns grey I get the following from the settings menu:
Status
Connected
Signal strength
Excellent
Link speed
72Mbps
Secruity
WPA/WPA2 PSK
IP address
192.168.1.xxx (the last three numbers never seem to change)
My friend has the aforementioned router. I can connect but get no data transfer. My tablet and my friends phones HTC incredible and og droid work just fine. We've done all the general troubleshooting and installed all updates still same problem a full connection but no data. I should note that my wifi works flawlessly in all other locations work home parents other friends etc.
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?
I know just connect the data cable to computer and transfer data but when i connect data cable to computer it does not show any thing on the computer and not even on the phone.so how should i make my phone able to transfer data to pc.
I 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.
The 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%.
I 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.
I dunno if the Eris is that much better to make me stay with Verizon. The Sprint plans are just better. I really have no idea if there's any difference between the two though.
I'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've just ordered my N900 and understand there is no 'switch' function like on S60. How do i get my contacts and images/sounds/videos from my 5800 to the n900?
The current bb9650 had a "fatal error 200". Verizon order me a new phone. I'm sure it'll be a 9650 as well. I just downloadd bb desktop software and did my initial backup. Could I use the software and upload the info from my current BB to the new (new to me) BB coming? If Yes is there anything special I need to do?9650, V5Windows 76.1 bb desktop softwareVerizon,Unlimited data plan?BlackBerry Bold 9650OS v6.0Verizon Network / Unlimted Data PlanI'm not sure of what a BIS account is?
I am switching from iPhone 2G to HTC One. HTC Sync Manager doesn't work at all. What is the better way to transfer the data (e.g. email addresses, phone book and Notes) to HTC One? I am currently using Yahoo email and calendar on iPhone, and try to keep using them on HTC One if possible
Currently have an HTC One and already preordered the S5. What's the best way to transfer pics/videos and app data to the S5 when I get it? The apps I'm not too concerned about as I can simply redownload them, however I have like 500 pictures that I'd like transferred over.
