I just got the eris on the 20th of july. I had heard that HTC was really good but I have started running in to problems.
I rooted and I am using evil eris rom 3.0. I noticed yesterday that the awake button started not working after further investigation I noticed I could tap on the side and it would wake up.
Also just noticed today that was getting pretty hot and using the battery significantly. only lasted 5 hours.
I am considering returning the phone as I have 30 days.
Anyone have any Ideas

Search through the forums for specific problems you are having, then trouble shoot. Have you reflashed the ROM? Tried any others? Did you do a nandroid backup, if so have you tried a restore? The phone could be complicated so if you don't want to put in the effort id recommend returning it.

Did you ask your question in the Evil Eris thread ? Maybe others running the same ROM are having similar issues.

yeah, I tried two other roms for a short time I liked this one the best. At first I didnt have any problems.
Are you suggesting i wipe this flash then reflash it again.
Also are you suggesting I restore the original.
Ive been searching just Havent found anything yet.
I really would like some input on if you guys think I should work through this with the phone. Are these phones reliable and such I dont mind tweaking it a little to get it right. But I dont want to have constant problems

HTC does make great phones. However, you shouldn't base your opinion of the phone off of hacking into it and modifying it (especially being a less-than-a-week-old first-time HTC owner who hasn't done a lot of footwork to troubleshoot the issues).

Yes you should wipe and reflash the rom and see if that does anything. If that doesnt help, do a restore (supposing you did a back up). Also a lot of these roms are over clocked so the phone can get hot from using it a lot especially if its on the charger.
Since you rooted your phone, you have void your warranty. Basically if verizon decides to check the software builds and whatnot and discovers you have rooted, you might not get another phone. There are threads on how to unroot your phone, so I suggest doing that before you return it if you decide to.
Also I might suggest sense able 3.1 very stable rom

Hey bud thanks for the positive feedback. Your help is greatly appreciated.
I do really like the phone. You know all that power in such a small package. Thats the reason for these forums I believe so that we can help eachother.
Ill try that and see what happens.

I really hated my eris until i started using froyo based roms.. They are a bit buggy especially the camera but well worth the effort even if just for battery life. I went from 15-20% lose an hour to 5-8% unless i use alot of data.. then its more like 10-12%.

G Tab 10.1 problems.

So, here's my new problem.
I bought this cable after losing my original cable, as well as my bose headphones, compliments of TSA in lovely Orlando Florida, so I bought a new one. Here's the link to what I purchased, and my problem actually will follow after.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/DualJack-Sync-Charge-Cable-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-and-Galaxy-S/20440053
ok, so my Tablet is rooted, and I have been trying to unroot it hoping to solve a problem.
My tablet will not charge while it is on, and when I turn it off to charge, it's charging so incredibly slow/
Yes, I have the red X over my battery,
Yes I have turned off/on USB Debugging
It continues to stay in MTP Initialization mode.
This cable BTW is neat in design, and concept, but the slightest tough to the cable while it's hooked into the tab causes severe connection issues.
I followed the link posted by another xda developer that led me to a forum here on how to root/unroot your tab, which is also found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769406
Now charging issues aside, I've started to unroot using odin and the process is mind numbingly slow. I almost thing the thing is locking up actually. I don't know what else to do here, and I'm sick of really screwing with this thing to be honest. It's still under warranty and I'm really dissappointed with the lack of support for this device.
Anyone know what else I can do?
Is there a way to unroot this tab without using the cable which could very well be my problem?
Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.

Why use odin? If the process is underway then maybe you can't open it up. If you can start the device, then install mobile odin app and flash a stock rom. If the device can't boot, then consider buying an original cable, as this is the root of the problem apparently. Also on the Walmart link I noticed that the cable is for the galaxy tab/galaxy s. Maybe it is for the original 7-inch tab?

i815 - Minor Update OTA Now (1-17-13)

Software Update incoming....reduces electrical consumption while charging.
Bleh...got me all excited when the prompt came up on mine.

Like this part!

My Tab wouldn't take the update because it's Rooted. The Note 2 got an update pushed last week that the devs said to not accept since it contained a Bootloader. Hope this is not another attempt at locking the bootloader and root on the 7.7. I was able to freeze the app on my Note 2 to keep it from attempting to install again.

So what does this update do for me, really? Why do I care about how much power it consumes when its turned off ans charging? Does that mean shutdown & charging, or just screen-off & charging?

How/ what do I freeze to stop the annoying update notices? Also, has anyone **successfilly** tried OTA rootkeeper w/ this update?

Interested in what this update is really doing as well
I saw the news reports that an OTA update was coming that would help to make the battery life better on my i815 but like others here, I've not noticed the battery life to be that bad to begin with.
I don't have a problem with the idea of updating, though just to get to ICS, well, I wound up using electron73's instructions here as it seemed my poor i815 was one of the ones that was just never going to properly update OTA from HC to ICS

Perhaps it is another attempt at sending out small update before the big update?

Rooting stock IMM76D.LP11
My newly purchased tab came with this update already installed (build number IMM76D.LP11) from Verizon. Power consumption seems good though I also use Deep Sleep Battery Saver. Having a hell of a time rooting this thing though. ExynosAbuse initially worked well but then inexplicably lost root just today which I discovered on using TitaniumBakup. Anyone aware of a rooting tool for this build?? I can't breathe without root!

The update will not affect your battery life, for better or worse. It simply reduces the amount of power draw while charging. This helps avoid a trickle charge that constantly uses power from your outlet while the device is on the charger and at 100% charge.

Maybe it has to do with the charger getting hot.

[Q] My i9505 did shutdown by himself should I worry?

Hello my four days old Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 did a shutdown al by himself overnight while charging. Because of this my alarm didn't go off. All I needed to do is a normal boot and the phone worked fine, but I don't think its normal!
Should I worry? Is there maybe a log that I can look at to see what happened during the night? I suppose this isn't normal behavior? Someone else had this issue?
It's my first android phone, I always had an iPhone (3G, 3GS, 4, 4s and 5) never had this kind of issue. My wife also has a galaxy S4 and that one is working fine. At this moment it only happened ones so maybe it could be a coincedence?

Some android phones do that from time to time... Wait for an update... Maybe it will disappear.. If not then try another firmware

I did flash the official firmware for dutch i9505 throught ODIN. But that's what I also did to my wifes i9505. I will monitor the phone and see if its going to be more often.
Thanks for you're reply.

i surely hope it is a one off... but i had same issue.. (i dont care about warranty) but i flashed cwm and wiped ALL (including system) and then flashed a stock rom with ODIN... no problems anymore but lets see what the updates and such will bring for you

Up until now no automatic shutdown. I'm really waiting for a good ROM like cm10.1. When that happens I will flash CWM.
Omega looks really good maybe I will try that tomorrow.

I'm having the exact same problem. Got my S4 May 1st and had these overnight charging shutdowns about 3-4 times since then. Quite annoying, specially when you' re using the alarm (which fortunately I don't).
Hope a future update will solve this soon....

I'm also on dutch ME2, came from MDM german ROM. But I just had it one time now. Up until now everything worked perfectly. I hope it was a one time thing.
My wifes phone is also on Dutch ME2 and also came from MDM german ROM. She never had any problems whatsoever. Its very weird, I don't think its hardware related, its some kind of software problem.

[Q] New AT&T Update Ruined G2

I downloaded the G2 update yesterday from AT&T.
I'm not rooted, but this update is even worse than the one before. The battery life is completely ruined.
I noticed that usually my phone had 550MB of RAM left with the previous update. Now it's idling at around 450MB.
Not only that, just browsing on simple sites on Chrome will turn my phone warm to hot. The battery life percentage starts depleting rapidly. Roughly 1% for every 90 seconds or so. It's really frustrating since one of the selling points of the G2 was the battery life-- And every subsequent update has worsened the battery life while updating really little.
What can I do?

I was more wondering if I could revert to the stock 4.4.2 before this horrible update.

Bumping.

Hey bud. I don't exactly know how the AT&T version works, but if you follow the "Go back to stock"-guide and use a earlier kdz file, you SHOULD be able to get an earlier version of kitkat, maybe without knock code, but I don't really care about that personally.
I'm guessing that they want you to upgrade to a G3 so that they earn money.

Do NOT update to it. Literally the worst update. The RAM usage has kicked up by 100-200 MB.
It's still 4.4.2. It only updated a few, unnoticeable things.
I really want to revert to the previous KitKat version with Knock Code. I cannot deal with this update. My phone starts becoming warm after browsing for a few minutes using the Twitter or Facebook app. It is that bad.
Please, someone help me out here. I'm so frustrated with this update that I'm half-tempted to just use AT&T Next program to get the LG G3.

No luck. It upgraded me without even warning around 2 p.m. In the middle of the freaking day. That really makes me mad because what if I needed to get a phone call or my wife needed to get ahold of me or something? I don't think that this should be legal for carriers to do this.
In either case I'm also noticing heavier than normal battery drain with this update but I'm going to give it about a week to see if the battery settles back down before I revert back to 4.2.2.
If you're sure that you want to get rid of this update I think what you should be able to do is to revert to stock 4.2.2 and then let yourself upgrade until you get to the version right before this and freeze the software update app. Have you reverted to stock before? I did it once when I had to return the phone to AT&T because of a battery defect and it was pretty straightforward.

I have no idea on how to revert. I've never rooted my G2.

It's pretty straight forward. Here's the video I watched to do it: How to Unbrick or Restore the LG G2 ATT Version: http://youtu.be/kqw_LFuyHbE

Just for everyone's info, I downgraded to 4.4.2 D80020c and then manually updated to D80020u and froze the system update app as I don't like the most recent update (D80020y).
Let me know if you need help doing this.
