I just discovered this issue - it may be only relevant to 2.1 since I upgraded (or to something else entirely) but when my Eris is plugged in and I use it the Home Screen seems to act crazy - well not that crazy - just that with motion the Homes Screens roll "left( that is to the left most screen) almost like I am using the track ball (but only in one direction) - unplug it and it works fine - its not a major issue but a wierd one - anyone else notice this behavior.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am currently on my second Eris and I am having problems with my trackball not responding and something screwy with my camera not saving my pictures.
Right now I would rather pay to downgrade to another phone like a BB or even pay full retail value for a completely different Droid because I am afraid if they send me another Eris it is just going to break again.
If I call VZW and talk to them, will they send me another Eris that will most likely to break or will they send me a D1 or an Incredible?
I love my Eris but i just can't use it anymore and i feel like i will keep having problems if they keep sending me refurbs.
Yeah, Just like the title says, and the trackball wont go down. Any Tips tricks, etc? I'm rooted, so I can't lose that.

I open the music player to start playing music and it starts frantically skipping through songs and going crazy. I restart and it still happens.
This also happens with podcasts in google listen. I'll be listening and all of a sudden it'll switch to another podcast.
I can't figure out why this is happening. On maybe the same note. i restarted and had the same music player issue, then went to Taskiller Free and found that all my apps were running...???? This is 2 min after a restart.
What's going on here. I'm on stock Eris, no rooting.
This is my third Eris replacement, all have had the silent speaker bug. This one has it as well, but now this one has the continuously scrolling left trackball even while not plugged in, making the phone unusable. I have an Incredible ordered, but until that arrives whenever it decides to, I'm stuck using an old LG Chocolate. Any ideas on this? I have had nothing but bad luck with my replacements. Almost wish I could have the original one back, which only had silent speaker intermittently.

View 15 Replies View RelatedWhat do you guys use the trackball for? I have had the eris for about a week now and honestly, have not touched it once..
Just curious as I want to use this great phone to its full potential.
I know this is possible on the Nexus One and I was wondering if it is on the Droid Eris. It would be the coolest thing to have like a green trackball
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I am trying to root my phone and the trackball will not click. Knowing there is a known issue with the trackball, I go to VZW and they send me a new one, except that one has touch screen issues. Is there any way to get the trackball to click again? Tried basic troubleshooting, cleaned it etc.

I know not everyone here is a member at xda, so I figured that at least a few people on here have eris's that they are willing to void their warrenty on (even more than they alread have with leaks and rooting )This isn't with an LED, it is the actual trackball. Seems pretty easy, anyway, thought I'd share.
I am so confused on notifications. This is what I see happening by default.
SMS/MMS - Trackball
Exchange Email - Trackball
Gmail - Green LED
Google Talk - Green LED
Missed Call - Green LED
In my Settings --> Sound & Display --> Notifications --> Notification flash ... everything is checked for Trackball.
I'm curious is to how this is working for everyone else. I wish the trackball would only light up for SMS/MMS.
Trackball stuck and wont go down, which means i cant go in recovery to unroot, which means i cant try and get replacement phone?//:helpp. track ball moves in all other directions except down
View 1 Replies View RelatedSince the 2.1, you can't zoom with the trackball - miss that and it also doesn't seem to zoom as well. My husband hasn't changed to the 2.1 and we can take the same picture but he gets closer with his zoom. Is there any setting that would improve this on the camera with 2.1?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan I replace it? is their a virtual trackball app? I am unable to use my camera or video because the trackball does not "select" when pressed. also the "left" direction is going also.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHas anybody found a way to make the trackball blink for various other notifications other than SMS and eMail? I use google talk all the time and I would love to have the trackball light blink slowly (just like the normal alert for a waiting SMS message) when I receive a google talk message that I haven't read. Or how about gMail? They light up the notification led blinking green but there is no trackball notification. I'm actually quite surprised there doesn't seem to be any setting I can find to make the trackball blink for various notifications. My phone's already rooted so that should expand my options but I haven't found anybody that's done this yet.
View 4 Replies View RelatedShould the trackball light up when a message is received with chomp sms mine doesn't i've looked through the settings and all it has is trackball color.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI used to have chompSMS and the trackball lit up when I got a new text. I uninstalled it and went back to the native texting app but decided I liked chompSMS's UI and ability to set different ringtones to different contacts so I went back to it... and now my trackball won't light up when I get a text. The notification LED flashes, but no trackball light at all. I kind of liked it cause it was the only way I could tell I got a text when I was on a call (seeing the trackball light up out of the corner of my eye).Any ideas as to what's wrong? Or does chompSMS's latest update not support the trackball lighting up anymore?The trackball still lights up for calls and emails though, so I know it's not the phone's hardware causing the problem.
View 18 Replies View RelatedI have 2.1 OTA, but I noticed camera lag with 1.5 as well. I'm guessing everyone else has this problem too. Is there any fix anyone has found? I've made sure not a lot of apps are running when i go use the camera app, but it still takes 4 seconds or so for the camera to take a picture after I press the trackball.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo when I try texting in Portrait mode, it acts as if my trackball is stuck to the left, now I used to have this problem only when it was charging, but now it's more often.
Also on my home pages, it will slide all the way to the far left one. And sometimes my messaging app will lag, then force close.
When I first had my desire the contacts seemed to back up to googlemail fine, something has happened (dont know what) and my contacts on googlemail have reduced to 42 (was 127) I am trying get all my contacts from phone backed up to googlemail (or just my PC) dont mind which one. Would be happy to have them on my PC somewhere. I am imp/exp to SD etc etc but it keeps asking me for a vCard, which I do but where is that vCard stored, and how do I get my contacts to my PC either via the Vcard or via sync - I have tried syncing but the numbers stay the same? Surely it should be easier than this - all I want to do is get my numbers backed up for saftey.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI went to go update mine and my girl's ROMs yesterday. Did mine with Tazz's new 2.0, and I'm loving it. I went to do hers as well and when I get into the main menu the trackball doesn't scroll up or down. It works fine when the phone is in operating mode. She is running CELBfroyo. Any suggestions? I cannot scroll around to do a wipe and flash a new rom...
View 37 Replies View RelatedI went to flash a zip in recovery tonight, (specifically the stock keyboard zip for xtrrom 4.6, but that's beside the point) booted into recovery successfully, and I noticed my trackball isn't working at all! It would let me select reboot now, but thats it. Trackball is working fine once it reboots into normal mode, but it is completely useless in Recovery. Is it permanently like this or is it just a minor glitch I can fix with a few things.
View 15 Replies View RelatedHere's my problem, on my Eris, I recently flashed Kaosfroyo, and now when I have a notification, it blinks the trackball not the LED. Is there a way to make a global setting to use the LED for any notification that's not on going? I'm rooted, obviously, so I'll try almost anything.
