HTC Eris Bootup Freeze

Hi so recently my HTC Eris has been freezing on bootup. Lastnight it ran out of battery so i plugged it into the charger and left it, I comeback and as soon as remove it from the charger the phone shut off. I figure its just a little buggy so i turn it back on and it doesnt go past the little android guys on the skateboards. I waited about 10 minutes and it still didnt boot up. So I did a data reset with vol down send and end buttons and nothing. I tried a recovery boot with send and end buttons and nothing. There is no water damage to the phone. The indicators have a little water showing but its very apparent that its just a very tiny drop of water (only the corner of the indicator is pink/red) and the battery has no water damage indication either.
So what should i do next to fix my phone. Or if necesary who should i send my phone back to and will it be covered by HTC warranty (if one exists?)

I guess I never noticed it before.
As for doing a hardboot or working through the recovery menu, I am not familiar with the steps. If you haven't looked yet you can search the forums at www.androidcentral.com or xda developers. They should have more detailed steps of what to do next.

  • Transfer Footprints from HTC Eris to HTC Incredible 2

    I switched from HTC Eris to HTC Incredible 2.  I want to transfer my Footprints thumbnails and data to HTC Incredible 2.  On the HTC Eris there is a folder on the SD card called .footprint that contains the footnotes.db file and folders for thumbnails and voices. The thumbnails for the footprints I have created are in the proper folder.
    On the HTC Incredible 2, the footprints folder is on the SDcard as a subfolder of the .data folder.  That folder has a footprints.db file and footprints.db-shm and a footprints.db-shm files in it.  It also has  "thumbnails" and "voices" folderswhere the pictures and dictated audio that are created with the app reside. 
    I have copied the HTC Eris .footnote folder over to the HTC Incredible 2 SDcard.  The footprints application has a menu item to import pictures and data.  The pictures have to be imported individually.  While the pictures import and retain the address and GPS information, they display the current date and time, not the date and time when the footprint was orginally created.  When you try to import a database, it says no database found.
    I tried copying all of the Eris thumbnails into the Incredible 2's thumbnails folder and replacing the footprints.db on the Incredible 2 with the one from the Eris but the app would not display the existing footprint pictures and the app would no longer save and display footprints created even though the pictures taken were in the correct folder.  I restored the Incredible 2's  footprints.db  and solved that problem. 
    If anyone has ideas, I would be interested to know.  My guess is the Footnotes app on the Eris is a different version so the data is not transferable.

    If I had to guess I would say that the issue is because of the different versions of Sense, I have noticed that some of the old files stored from a HTC Sense application doesnt always work on the updated version..

  • HTC ERIS randomly Drops data connectivity after 2.1 OTA

    I am about to receive my 3rd HTC Eris under warrany that I am told will help my problem, before the 2.1 upgrade I no problems with data connectivity dropping. My 1st phone randomly displayed message saying "The MObile network setting needs to be turned on. The 2nd replacement phone does the same thing at random all over Phoenix.
    Verizon said they have never heard of this problem and there have been no issues with the 2.1 upgrade..so far that is the story from 2 reps. My 3rd replacement phone is on its way...will it fix my problem?? Tried to get them to replace the phone with a nother model but they would only do it at full retail price....wow I use this for business and it is costing me money......If this doesn't fix it I guess I'll keep asking for replacement phones till it finally works properly again......
    A very unhappy HTC Eris user...

    Hi.  I am sorry you are having issues with your HTC Eris and I will be happy to look into this for you.  When did you get the 2.1 update?   Try to dial *228 option 2 to update your roaming to see if that helps.  If it does not, we may need to reset your entire device to see if that works.
    Waiting on your reply
    Thanks!

  • Dropped LD Calls on HTC Eris

    I had a Samsung a couple of years ago.  Every time I'd call my family in Illinois (from Texas), I'd get my calls dropped after 3-5 minutes.  Verizon technicians said it was with the landline carrier in Illinois.  They said it was with Verizon.
    I switched to a Blackberry 8330.  Never a problem.
    Now I got an HTC Eris.  Out of three conversations, I've had to re-dial seven times. I was only on the calls for a maximum of 15-min.
    Anyone have any thoughts, or suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I have had the blackberry 8530 well two of those. DROPPED CALLS Then I switched to the droid eris to no avail. DROPPED CALLS I have had service with Verizon since March 5 and regardless of the phone, dropped calls are a fact of life for me I hit ### which is what customer service told me to do. I changed my phone number because customer service told me that because I ported my number something just wasn't right. I have a minimum of 5 dropped calls a day. (on a good day) Verizon has told me that I can discontinue my service twice. I am currently looking for another cell phone company that I can actually make a phone call on. The last conversation the rep told me that my area had bad service I should switch to a non pda then the call dropped. Not that the service would be any better. 
    LOL I have had service tickets "RESOLVED" but not for me still have the same issues that I have had since day 1 DROPPED CALLS.
    SO again I am trying to decide where I am going too before they decide that I have to stay with a phone company where the phones are not reliable to make a phone call. I tried talking tonight and it called someone else..Oh yeah I had to input all of my numbers again because it was suppose to fix the stranger call issue. SMH

  • HTC Eris--Camera & Picture Issues?

    I'll preface this by saying that I'm expecting my second replacement Eris on Monday because of all the issues since the update.  I'm not confident that the next one will be any better.  Since the update, I noticed that my camera delays when I take a picture...I take a picture, it appears but then it's like it takes another picture which 9 times out of 10 doesn't turn out.  This did not happen before the update.  I haven't seen this particular issue on the forums and am wondering if anyone else is having that problem.  Also, I have recently noticed that when I go to share a picture via Messages, it pops up as a slide show rather than just a picture where you can easily type in the name/number of the recipient.  Now there are added steps to get it to send.  I think they're going through but it seems cumbersome.   Anyone else?

    I'm reporting the same problem with the newest update, and what a hassle it's been trying to get support! It's more than cumbersome--now every picture message I receive comes in as a sldieshow with a 5 second duration, instead of as a regular .jpg with no duration, and the same with sending picture messages. It's a major nuisance, and additionally, one of my friends has a phone that can't receive slideshows, so I can no longer send him pictures.
    HTC support has been saying that the phone has always done this, that it's intentional, that it's perfectly normal. Even though that's obviously false--I took a picture of my phone showing a picture message coming in as a .jpg from before the update, and a new one as a slideshow after; didn't matter, they kept insisting this was the way it's always been.
    I went to two local Verizon stores, and their tech reps told me that if HTC says it's normal, there's nothing they can do--they also wouldn't exchange the phone for another because they're all preloaded with the new update causing this problem.
    Sigh. I am very unsatisfied.

  • HTC eris issues

    Just wanted to know if anyone else is having issues with the eris..... Mine all of the sudden stopped vibrating when I get text messages, I have checked all the settings and everything is checked. Also, every since my phone did a system upgrade in may, I can not get back the clock that was on the phone when I got it. Its the clock that's in all the pictures.. If anyone can help, let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.

    I had the same issue.  And i can bet that when he pushes the + and then HTC widgets, there is not a listing for "Clocks."  I had to go to the Market to purchase mine for 1.99.  I was a little upset.  I also lost my favorite contacts that is factory on the home screen to the right.  I had a bad update in May.  My husbands was fine and mine stunk!  Go figure!  anyway, i am happy with the clock that i purchased.  it looks almost exactly the same as the the factory flip clock.  Good luck! 

  • HTC Eris - Bluetooth in my Car paired to my Eris

    Before the upgrade to Android 2 happened, I was able to play music from my phone to the car's music system. After the upgrade, it seems like the songs tend to play faster (I am not sure if i have used the correct word here). When I connect to the Aux device using a cable without blue tooth seems to play fine.
    The calls coming through are normal. No issues there.
    Any idea what could be going wrong here?
    Regards
    RH

    It seems like this is just a software issue. I would perform a hard reset then try to reconnect your device to your car. Here are the steps for performing the hard reset:
    Resetting the phone deletes all data, including downloaded
    applications, and resets the phone back to its initial state—the state
    before you turned on the phone for the first time.
    Important Make sure to back up important data you have on the phone
    before you reset your phone.
    To reset the phone
    1. Press HOME > MENU, then tap Settings > Security > Factory data
    reset.
    2. On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone and then tap
    Erase everything.
    To reset the phone using phone buttons
    1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN
    and SEND buttons
    2. Press the END/POWER button. You will see a screen with 3
    Android images at the bottom of the screen.
    3. Follow the instructions onscreen to reset your phone.
    Tip If your phone hangs or freezes, remove the battery then wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After re-installing the battery, turn on the phone.
    Hope this helps

  • [Solved] Bootup Freezes

    Hi all, been using Gentoo for a very long time and now I'm starting to transition to Arch. Loving it quite a lot.
    I have a problem on a new install I'm doing on my ancient Macbook Pro.
    I got everything setup with rEFInd and grub seems to be working ok.
    I get to the bootup chooser in grub and choose the Arch Linux option (I went in and took off the quiet option for this screenshot)
    It seems to be working ok until it gets to 'Reached target Local File Sytems (Pre)' and then it just hangs.
    I have my hdd setup as
    /dev/sda1 is the /boot/efi partition
    /dev/sda2 is the /boot/ partition
    /dev/sda3 is the swap partition.
    /dev/sda4 is the / partition.
    I have tried reinstalling systemd, mkinitcpio, and the kernel. I found something online that said to add 'ahci sd_mod' to the modules in mkinitcpio.conf but it didn't seem to help.
    Any ideas?

    Yes it is an older Macbook Pro (april 2008). Yes I have read that I can use rEFInd to go directly to the kernel, but it took me ~12 hours just to get a working bootloader setup this far. It may not be pretty but it works so I'm not super worried about that.
    So I commented out a couple of lines in fstab and that seems to have helped

    One time it got past there to where it complains I don't have the firmware for my b43 wireless card and froze there, but now it seems to stop at this point every time.

  • How do I transfer contacts from a Droid HTC Eris to my new iPhone?

    Any help on how to transfer contacts from a droid iris to iphone would

    What were you syncing your Droid with?
    Usually it's Outlook on a PC or Address Book on a Mac, so you just sync your contacts from either of those to the iPhone using iTunes.

  • HTC Eris suddenly started to download updates for HUGE number of apps

    This started this week. the phone is 2 yrs old.
    Currently, Ongoing says "Skype, Skype, and 56 more ..."
    I have gone to Adao file manager ->Applications and I don't see Skype.
    I uninstalled it from the phone yesterday in response to a notification similar to the
    one quoted above.
    My phone is constantly trying to download lots of apps every time I turn on WiFi.
    What can I do to kill the sorceror's apprentice?

    Problem was solved with help from Verizon customer support.  Powered down, removed battery, restarted and the symptom is no longer present.

  • Desktop bootup freezes

    I bought a HP Pavilion 500-203a one month and one day ago.  It runs Windows 8.1.  All of a sudden it hangs during boot up.  I restart the desktop.  The HP logo comes up followed by the spinning dots, then a black screen and it just sits there.  The HDD light next to the On/Off switch flashes every once in a while.  Every 30 seconds or so two icons flash up very briefly on the screen - the ENG US icon in the bottom  right hand corner of the screen and the Mute Sound icon in the bottom left hand corner.   The boot up does not proceed past this point.  I do not have Windows 8.1 recovery disks.  I have restarted and pressed F2 to get to the System Quick Test screen.  Everything tests out OK.  Warranty ends 30 Oct 2015.  What to do ?

    Rather than spend hours or days trying to figure out the root cause, I rebooted, hit F11 and few times as it was starting up, to get to the Troubleshoot options utility, took a chance and simply did a System Restore from a 6 day old System Restore Image on the HDD.  Problem gone away.  Successfull reboot, therafter.  Lesson learnt - take periodic system image backups.

    Microphone going bad or blocked by dust? Have you tried using a bluetooth device and see if that works?

  • Sd card frm Eris to Incredible

    I will be upgrading from the horrible HTC Eris to the HTC Incredible next month. My question is; will I be able to use the sd card in my Eris in the Incredible? I'm not familiar as to how these work. I want to keep all my ringtones, pixs and music that was on the Eris and have them transferred over to the Incredible. Will that happen or will I have to start over from scratch with the new phone?
    Also, if there are Eris owners who have switched to the Incredible, how do they compare? I'm sure the Incredible is better but how much?
    Thank you.

    the sd card should work just fine in the incredible. you should have all of your files and be able to use those ringtones, pics, etc. 

  • HTC Resound - Wildly Inaccurate GPS

    HTC Resound - Wildly Inaccurate GPS - I use my phone to record my cycling via MyTracks.  I have also used other Apps too but I get these wild swings in my route with all of them.  While going down a road, my route is mapped going straight, then shoots like 150 years due left then maybe 150 yards behind me then maybe 150 yards to the right then back on track all of which generates speeds like 150 mph and wildly inaccurate distances.  I get great GPS signals for over 9 SAT, (Per GPS TEST) yet my new HTC RESOUND can't record routes correctly.  It goes along fine then - BAM - all over the map. 
    My old HTC ERIS was so much better recoding the same routes!  Maybe it would be off by 15-25 feet - MAX! 
    I have all 3 Location Services turned on by default (VZW, standalone GPS, Google Service) I have to try and use standalone GPS next time to see if that helps.   ...but,  MAN - WTH?  There are no explanations, help files or tutorials.

    When Riding your bike in your area are you going down normal streets or riding the bike Paths one reason i ask this when the Google Teams are out Mapping streets that's what is downloaded an goes in to the Servers for the G.P.S Routs an bike paths wouldn't be included so that could be the reason it's off or acting Wildly. Now it could be also they may have not mapped your Area as well but if your seeing good results in your Car than there shouldn't be any problems. But i would go to your Local Bike shop an ask them that doesn't hurt to ask.
    One thing i wanted to point out on my Droids my X an my Razr Maxx when traveling on our local Hi way K61 it being Built into a 4 Lane Hi Way an even though most of the project is done the G.P.S on my phones are still following the Old K61 so until it's fully done i guess it will still show this.
