Droid Eris phone dialing slow response -- solved

Recently, since the 2.1 update my Eris became un-usably slow to respond when I hit the "Call" button, literally about 10sec.
I searched the forums for a solution to this and noticed that it's a rather pervasive issue.
Then, noticed that after I hit the "Advanced Task Killer" app. and kill the selected app that the dialing response returns to normal.

Hit the "Advanced Task Killer" app. and kill the selected app then the dialing response returns to normal.

Droid Eris Phone issues

I have a new droid eris and am having a few issues with the phone.
1. It doesn't call who I select, but someone random.
2. It makes calls that I do not intend to make, ie it randomly calls people without my knowledge.
This is happening with both mine and my husbands phone.
Also is there a way to lock your phone with a short cut key.
Please help!!!

Yes go in the market and in the search box type: Call Confirm
Download and install it will solve your problem.
To lock your phone press the Red highlighted silver end button on your lower right on your phone.

Ios 8 on i phone 5 slow response and freeze a lot

I've updated my i phone 5 to ios 8.0.2 but now it's so slow , freeze a lot and most of the apps crash i turned on my location service nothing changes

As razmee209 said, you can use iTunes to install photos on your phone from wherever you have them stored. Where did you copy them to? Are you saying you selected them on you phone and just hit "copy"? That would only copy one at a time to the "clipboard" so that you can paste it somewhere else. As you copy each one, the previous one is deleted from the clipboard. This is not a storage area. Did you back them up on your computer or in iCloud?

Droid x2 phone dial pad does not respond to touch on call

When on a call and asked to input numbers even to get to voicemail phone freezes and will not accept certain numbers like 1 (but it may take an 8) or screen goes black or both. Cannot get my voicemail from this phone. Can call in to my cellphone number from another phone and stop message and then get the vm, but from the droid x2 cellphone it is impossible. Obviously very unsatisfractory. Anyone got a fix?

As Ann pointed out, you are running GingerBread - the latest update. You don't remember clicking on "ALLOW UPDATE" and the process of installing it?
Anyway, so you've had this problem since DAY 1 of getting the phone????? Too bad you didn't take it back immediately as they would have probably given you another phone .. but now you're pretty stuck with troubleshooting it or getting it swapped with a CPO. If you contact verizon, they will like have you try booting in SAFE MODE 1st, just to rule out 3rd party APPs causing the issue. Then a Factory Reset.

Slow response - Missing Calls

Lately my Droid X2 is occurring slow response time as I dial a number. Also I have had this phone since 4/11 and now at times calls will go directly to voice mail while the phone sits on the table at home or work right next to me. No new businesses in the area. In the same office I have been in for 8 years suddenly I can't get good reception. It makes me want to throw it through the wall.

Hi reno4ski!
I'm here to help you with your device. It seems as if you have already completed some troubleshooting, and I'd like to say thanks for doing so! Did you have a chance to do a factory reset of the device? I would recommend doing this, but don't forget to backup your data first. You will find all the steps here: http://bit.ly/Q21SFI Please let me know how this works out for you.
Thanks,

Trans file from pc to droid eris sd card

How do I transfer a file from my pc to the sd card on my droid eris phone?
Thanks,
rdavidcio

Connect via usb, drag down your notification bar, click "connect to copy files to/from your computer". Then find your phone under "my computer", it should show up as a drive. Then, just drag and drop.

Droid Eris 2.1 Constanst Sync and Battery Drain

Ever since the 2.1 Android update to my wife's HTC Droid Eris phone, there is a problem of the phone constantly running sync over and over. It drains the battery quickly. If I go to Settings...Accounts & Sync, it shows Sync completing and then starting again, again, etc. I went into Gmail Sync and it seemed to show Contacts and Calendar syncing over and ove. If I am in the main sync page and hit Cancel Sync, it stops the problem...for a while. It could be an hour, it could be 8 hours, but it always has the problem again at some point. I did a search and could not find anybody mentioning this problem. Does anybody have any suggestions? Is this a known issue? I would rather not try the factory reset route if at all possible. Powering off the phone does not fix the issue. Thanks in advance.

I bought my Eris in March and I have already had to have them send me one phone and now I am waiting for a second phone. They will just send you an "Certified Pre-Owned Phone". The part of this that makes me mad it that they might test it for a minute and they don't see the issues we have with them and say they are fine. There was a valid reason why someone sent that phone back in the first place and they just pass the buck and send that phone out to someone else hoping they don't experience the same issues. I talked to a rep at the store and they tell me they cannot control wheather they send out a new phone or a used phone. Just be catious when you get the "new" phone becasue it will probably be worse the the one you have. Also if it has not been upgraded to Android 2.1 I would just leave it alone and keep using the Androis OS 1.5. And if I get another defective phone, I am gonna go to AT&T and get me an iPhone. At least they have their bugs worked out. Good luck with your new phone. Let me know how it turns out.

What is going on with the Eris since the update? Lots of Lag time, force close, unresponsive, even some of the apps are not working as they did. Had no problems really before the update, now nothing but!!!
Do a hard reset from your setting menu... that will probably fix most of the issues. However, your not going to get rid of the lag as the Eris is a tad under-powered.
I did the hard reset thing when Verizon instructed me to - fixed things for a while (was great actually) but slowly the phone has gotten worse than before the factory data reset

Droid ERIS Problems and needing to change to a new phone

I have upgraded to the Droid Eris early this year around March, now at the time Verizon only had the Motorola DROId and the ERIS. I read reviews on the Eris and for the most part they were fair to good most people complained about it beingslow and freezing. So with that in mind I went to the Verizon store to upgrade mainly because my LG DARE just was going bad. I was told of the ANDROID update 2.1 that was supposed to fix a lot of the problems that the ERIS was having. My ERIS had all of those problems and then some.So I waited and waited 2.1 dropped and the phone got worse freezing issues, calls to people I didn't call, and slow performance. I read all the tips to help like app killer downloads going into "settings" and kill the running apps. But with all that this phone still kept getting the SAME problem.So I have contacted Verizon several times and of cource I get the standard "You have a 1 year warranty to replace the phone with the same phone" so after that I decided to go back to Verizon and change out the phone with another ERIS. It came within 3-5 days and I started it up and the same problems happened again. It's like I never turned in my other ERIS. This is very frustrating now I know I had 30 days to return
my phone If I was dissatisfied, but I was led to believe that the android 2.1 update would fix my phone but it hasn't. And exchanging my phone hasn't helped either. So I am VERY DISSATISFIED with this phone! I need a solution I would like to return this phone and upgrade it to the DROID X mainly because the reviews and most customers I've talked to say that it's a better phone. I don't feel I should have to pay full retail price nor do I want to ad another line to my bill. I would like to pay the 2 year contract price of $199 with the difference taken out of my return of the ERIS. I've been a loyal customer with Verizon ever since they were CELLULAR ONE! I've never missed a bill or had a late payment. I think that I should be an acception for this because Verizon know that the ERIS is not a good phone they don't even carry it in the store anymore.
Someone let me know something.

Facebook won't download on droid eris replacement phone

I just received a replacement phone yesterday for my Droid Eris. As I was getting things set-up, I tried to install/update the Facebook app. It goes through the whole process and then says Installation Unsuccessful. So when I click on that, it says Insufficient Storage Available. But, 1. it's a new phone and 2. when I check the storage on the phone, I have more than enough. Therefore, whenever I try to log-in on the widget, it won't let me and pops up saying An Error Had Occurred During the Sign-In. Please Try Again Later. I know my log id and password are correct because I can log-in through the browser. Any suggestions or help??????
Thanks!!

I understand how important it is to stay connected with friends and family, and Facebook makes it that much easier. I'm here to help.
One thing you can try is clearing out the cache memory on the device for the Facebook app. Go to setting > Applications > Manage Applications > look for the Facebook app and select the clear cache option.
If clearing the cache doesn't help then try removing the Facebook app and re-downloading it.
Hope these suggestions help. If you need further assistance please post back and I'll be more than happy to further assist.

Droid eris all sorts of jacked up

i have a droid eris and everything worked fine before hte update. then it started force closing messages almost every other time i had a text. i took it to the store and they did a factory reset on it and said that was all they could do. and everything worked fine for a while.
then a few weeks ago it started back up again. only worse. now instead of just messages, just about anything i open up ends up force closing. i cant send messages while it is plugged into the charger, and if i actually can it takes about 3 minutes to type 4 words because of the lagging. it automatically scrolls left, so when i type my messages come out backwards, or if im at the home screeen it scrolls all thwe way to the left screen and wont come back.
i havent added any applications since the factory reset they did, and i cant stand using my phone anymore. if i take it to verizon are they going to say the same thing, give me a refurbished eris that will prolly have the same problems or can i change to a different phone?

This phone is unbelievable. It is obvious Verizon messed up bad on this phone and wants to limit its losses, because they put it on discount only weeks after it came out, and now it isn't even on their online store. They come out with the Incredible, and leave us all screwed over with these barely working pieces of.
I can't describe how angry I am at Verizon. I went to the store where I bought it when I was still in my 30 day period, and the guy promised me that an update was coming out soon that would fix the bugs and soon it would be better. As we all know now, the update only made it all worse. I did a system restart with HTC a few months ago to fix some issues I had, and instead I lost my contacts. To this day they don't load properly. I went in last week to the same store and the woman was so dismissive of me, essentially saying "too {word filter avoidance}
bad, buy a new phone then". AND she had the nerve to say that Verizon had received no complaints about this phone.
My phone will freeze when it receives calls, and not let me answer. Texting is so slow and unreliable I text half as much as I used to. This DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF OWNING A PHONE.
I tried their phone service, and it told me I couldn't use my phone to call customer service, and to call back from another number. I only have one phone, genius. I sent them a message last week online (it says 24 hour response), and I haven't heard anything from them. Nothing.
They don't want to help their customers, that is what I am hearing. I don't care how much it costs me, if Verizon doesn't fix this I promise I am moving to AT&T for good. I am so insulted by their response to this.

Sound issues; slow response; usb ports unreliable and sd reader not working

The PC is a HP TouchSmart envy about 18 months old. Soon after purchasing I upgraded to Win 8.1.
About three or four months -ago probably after a Win update was installed- I began to have Sound issues (including not able to conect my external powered speakers any more- they used to work brilliantly and initially no sound at all but I went into settings and changed something and every now and again I have to do that again to get the PC speakers to work) ; slow response; usb ports unreliable, sd reader not working- as well as issues with the internet - the modem actually. It is easier to get on to a tablet and use the internet as my PC can be really slow. As well I have uninstalled Chrome and am using Explorer as this seems a little better but I miss Chrome.
I was advised by tech at Hervey Norman that I had to do a complete system restore but in order to do that I would need the recovery discs from HP? Is that correct? How do I do this?
PS I did not make recovery discs when I first purchased the machine. (Very sad!!!)
Help!!!
Alfriston

Hi again Alfriston,
Thank you for the clarification!
To return your computer's audio back to functional order, I recommend removing the audio driver from the operating system previous to upgrading to Windows 8.1, and installing the driver provided in this link.
If re-installing the driver does not resolve the issue, I suggest following the steps in this document on No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 8).
In regards to the USB ports, I recommend following this resource on Troubleshooting USB Connections (Windows 8), which should help consistently connect your USB devices to your computer.
To prevent your computer from lagging or responding in a slow manner, please follow the step in this document on Resolving Slow System Performance (Windows 8) to help improve the speed and efficiency of the operating system.
To further diagnose the issue with your desktop's SD card reader, I recommend following this resource on Using and Troubleshooting Memory Card Readers (Windows 8).
If your desktop still experiences issues with the audio, USB connections, speed and performance, as well as the SD card reader, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return your system back to factory defaults.

Droid Eris sucks

Does anyone else have problems with the Droid Eris? This phone is so terrible. Apps shut down for no reason. Trying to dial numbers is a pain, because of the lag. This phone is horrible. The IPhone is so much better. It sucks I have to wait until 1/26/2012 before I can upgrade, Verizon should let me upgrade now, because of how awful this phone is. Currently I am not even using the phone, I am using Google voice on my computer (its free). If they don't let me upgrade for free,I am just going to do an early terminiation. I can't believe how horrible this phone is. The Eris sucks! ahh feels good to vent. #$@# the Eris.

Have you tried any troubleshooting? Numerous people have reported issues like you describe with the Eris after receiving a software update, and many of those same folks reported that many of the issues were resolved when they did a factory reset on the phone to clear any data and applications. Starting over fresh allows you to install apps one at a time, and may resolve any conflicts, or at least help you identify any problem apps and remove them.
If you call Verizon's 1-800 number, and choose option 3, you will be connected with tech support and they may have other suggestions for you as well. If they can't resolve your issue, and you have insurance, you could file with Assurion for a replacement device since yours doesn't work.
Finally, you do have the option to activate a different phone on your line at any time. You can contact Verizon and ask about purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned phone at a reduced cost, or buy a new phone from them at full retail prior to your upgrade date. You could also look for a used phone from another source and use that until you upgrade becomes available.
If another carrier has the phone and service you want at the price you want, then you should definitely consider paying the ETF and moving to that provider. Verizon does not meet everyone's needs by any stretch of the imagination.

I installed Firefox for Mobile on my HTC Droid Eris but it won't work. Why?

I have an HTC Droid Eris and it runs the Android 2.0 operating system. When I attempt to open it I receive a message that says: "This device does not meet the minimum system requirements for Firefox".
The website states: "Firefox 4 Beta is available for Android 2.0 or higher" so I do not understand why it won't work on my phone.

See this web page for system requirements, and an experimental version that might work on the Droid Eris: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#System_Requirements
