HTC Eris :: Text Messaging & Trackball ?
Oct 12, 2010
I've had my Eris for a good while now and just started to have some problems. The other night, I tried to flash a new rom and can't move my trackball in the Amon Recovery menu. I have read that on here and there are some other issues involving that.
Secondly, I was just using my phone today and noticed that when at my home screen, my phone would just slide to the left 2 screens. The trackball would move by itself. When I'm in my browser the trackball moves by itself also. It just scrolls down to the next link.
When I type my cursor jumps all over the place. If I leave the cursor sit for a couple seconds the cursor jumps to the left to the beginning of the message.
I am rooted usng Froyo 34 and updated on Android 2.2

This is the only complaint i have since upgrading to 2.1 but its a pretty big one. I have tired default messenger and handcent and still get the "Not delivered" message althought it was delivered. Yes I did the *228 thing also. Any other app, or fix I could do?

Let me preface this by saying I am a 48-hours deep Android NOOB, so I apologize if the solution to this is something unbelievably simple that I have just overlooked. I don't think it is, because I am very experienced with WinMo, BB, and WebOS and don't usually pull NOOB type moves.
So, I have a Droid Eris. Actually, I have two. Well, I have one and she has one, anyway. I have had no trouble with hooking mine up to the computer with USB, mounting it, and moving files back and forth. One of the first things I did was load files on.
When I try and hook hers up, I plug it in with the same USB cable (one of the cables that came with them, btw), mount it, and nothing happens. It isn't recognized by the computer. The first time I did this with her phone, I had a little balloon pop up on the task bar that said something about "installing HTC Dream".
If I go to my computer tho, nothing is there that could be the phone. I checked my device manager in the control panel, and under "ADB Interface" i have HTC Dream listed. This is as far as I have gotten with this. This all came about because she couldn't figure out how to set the theme song from the office as her tone for text messaging. I hooked it up to the computer to try and see if I could move the file into a different folder to try and set it, and ran into this f-stick of a problem.

I had been hearing that it may have been because of Handcent SMS but I removed it and it still moves slow. Text messaging, moving to home screen, etc. Things just move very slow. How can I fix this?

Every time I send a Text message, I get a message back saying. "Message Delivered as plain text. Destination does not support enhanced messaging service."

I 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.

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.

I 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...

I 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.

Here'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.

My eris's trackball is now the same color as the body of the phone. I'd really like to clean the dirt off of it. What could I use to clean the trackball?

What 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

Had a couple of unsuccessful attempts at flashing kaosfroyo-v31.zip that I got from the xda forum. Thought I would try flashing v30 first, then flashing v31 on top of that, but when I got to the amon bootloader, my trackball would not scroll down.
I want to call Verizon and get my second replacement phone sent out, but I'm afraid of sending this phone in and they hitting me with a $300 bill because of it being rooted. Anyone have any ideas on how to unroot without using the trackball?
Seems like a lot of people are having trackball issues with the Eris. I've had to get my wife's Eris replaced because of trackball issues. Wish they would send me an Incredible or something else other than this Eris. I only rooted to get what they had in the first place.

So 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.

Is there a way to change the sensitivity of the trackball? I know this was a feature on my BB, but I have not seen a way to do it on the Eris.

Today i notice that my trackball can't scroll left anymore. it can scroll all other directions. I'm currently running 2.1v2. i was wondering if i go in to the store and just complain about my trackball maybe i could get a replacement? i mean how thoroughly do they check the phone? If i could get a replacement with 1.5 that would be nice. i could root. opinions..?

About 3 weeks ago my tackball stopped scrolling down.First I thought it had to do with grease but now that I have cleaned it (inside and out) with rubbing alcohol, it must be something else.Does anyone have any ideas?

Trackball Transplant - xda-developers
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.

Since 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?
