HTC Droid Eris :: Best SMS / MMS App For Phone?
Dec 3, 2009
I was wondering what was the best SMS/MMS app everyone was using or are most of you using the default messaging on the Eris? I've been hearing different reviews regarding the Handcent vs. Chomp. Is there anything else out there that is pretty good? I actually like the default messaging on the Eris because it shows my pic and the contact's pic during the conversation. The only thing I really don't like is that you don't know when you reach your 160 characters because it doesn't have a counter (or does it and I don't have it activated maybe?).

Whenever I open the "phone interface" to make a call, everything becomes much more sluggish, i.e. when I hit dial, or speakerphone button, there's an input lag. Droid Eris on 1.5.

I am going to try taking my eris in to get it exchanged because of the silent phone problem. I am on leak 3. I have some questions first though.
- Will I even be able to have a legitimate complaint if I am on a leaked version?
- Will a new eris come with 2.1 or 1.5?
- if the new eris has 2.1 what are the chances of this happening again?
I cant stand having to reboot to use my phone as a phone.

Is there any way to get the stock Android Messaging app on the Eris? I hate the HTC messaging app; it's so slow and leggy. I also hate Handcent and Chomp. Is there any way I could get the stock Android SMS app? Or does this require rooting or what?

First I must say I'm enjoining the transition from blackberry storm to HTC Eris. I'm curiosity to know if there is an app that cuts the phone off during the late night hours and then wakes it up in the morning. Or is there a setting built into the phone?

How do I power the phone off? Is there a manual somewhere out there? Mine only came with a book called 'Tips, Hints and Shortcuts.' I have a mac... is there anyway to sync this to my computer? Also how do I put files onto the phone... I have mounted the phone onto computer and can see it but I don't know where to put the files. When using the phone, can you rename folders? How do you manage these folders? Also is there a way to remove all the crap software that comes loaded.... amazonmp3, no thanks!.... Peep, no thanks!.... I read about "rooting" but this seems complicated, is there maybe an application that does it for you?

Anyone noticed how HOT their phone gets when using the Navigation option on Android 2.1 ? The navi app must be a CPU hog or maybe they've increased the power on the GPS module (isn't it an all-in-one chipset though ?). Try it for even a 1/2 hour and I think you'll be surprised at the temperature.

I recently took my phone from Froyo and loaded back the stock 2.1 build.. This was yesterday and the phone has been fine But about an hour ago 3G no longer connects and I cant do any text messages. Any idea what could be wrong. I am re flashing 2.1 back on the phone again right now to see if that makes a difference..

I just bought a used Eris off of Ebay to hold me over until January or so. It came rooted with the XTRsense rom, overclocked, apps2sd, etc. The phone runs great and the battery life seems decent, however, it won't charge. When I plug it in, the battery icon shows that it's charging, but when I unplug it, the battery is still at the same percentage. I left it charging overnight last night, and it was still at like 40% life this morning. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? If it's hardware related, I don't mind popping it open if it saves me from dealing with the hassle of returning this phone and going back to my Storm.

Ok so I have atk on my phone and every now and then I will go in to look and see what apps are running. Recently after killing all the apps that are running besides a few like messages and mail. Then ill lock my phone not use it or just text go back and look at the atk and there are so many apps open like as if the phone had just restarted. Music is open, clock, droid, facebook, and a whole long list. Why is it doing this? its slowing my phone down with all these random apps just opening.

This may be really dumb, but how do I turn off the phone? Or know that it is off? I don't get many calls or texts and want to have the battery last by turning the phone off. I push the "off" button and the screen darkens, but the phone stays very warm. Is this normal for the off state?

I want to know how I can get a new Android phone without using an upgrade (I don't have one). I would prefer a Moto first gen Droid, or a Droid 2, but right now I'm waiting until June to get a new upgrade because the people at Verizon seem to think that two years is not too long for a smart phone upgrade, especially a Android phone. Any way I can replace my Eris and still have my next upgrade intact?

Last night I had my phone charging on the nightstand.It had been idle and charging for about 40 minutes when I left the room to get a glass of water.When I came back I found my wife on my phone explaining that I had NOT just dialed the phone.he person who received the call thought I was pranking her at least at first.I looked in my call log - and it had placed a call.The person was not in my contacts it just had a number.The area code and first three digits were the same as my number (probably just a coincidence) Rooted, running Ivans ROM. This Eris was never that buggy - only ever got the 50% idle and 90% camera battery usage indications - but even when those happened the phone was running fine and battery life was reasonable. This latest issue has me concerned.

Occasionally, the slide down to unlock doesn't work on my Eris, although right now is a first: It repeatedly won't let me unlock it despite putting it to sleep, then waking it up, etc.
Usually a quick sleep and then up will solve it, but I can't unlock it.
Is there any way I can fix this besides removing the battery...This will be the third time in 3 days I have to remove the battery. The first two were when my screen stayed black and wouldn't turn on...

After the two 2.1 updates on my eris, my signal/service has been horrendous. I'm not able to make calls/send texts in I'd say 40-50% of the time, and I've tried everything people have been saying to do to fix the signal strength problem. So, is bricking my phone a solution to get a refurbished or new phone? I'd rather just stick with 1.5 than have horrible signals all the time, or root it (bc it's undoable). Any input?

I was on this very forum typing a reply using Uber Keyboard. I was using dolphin. All of a sudden the options screen for Uber Keyboard (BTW, I don't like it anymore. only got it for the speech to text feature) popped up and kindof self navigated to a deeper menu. I tried using the back button. This cause all of the buttons/keys to light up full brightness and then the screen went black, but the keys stayed lit. I tried pressing the end key but nothing happened. Then all of a sudden the the Android and Verizon splash logo's came up (very fast, not anywhere near as long as when you power on the phone). The phone came back to a normal state as it usually does from a power on and everything is fine.
