Well color me stunned. I’d pretty much written off the idea that my Verizon Droid Eris would get any updates ever again, so imagine my surprise yesterday when my phone informed me an OTA update was ready for download. Sadly, the HTC update didn’t include Froyo, but it did fix some bugs and make a few feature tweaks. Not feature tweaks I needed, mind you, but tweaks all the same. Examples:
- If I had a Mercedes, I could now get a better Bluetooth connection in my car.
- The signal indicator display on my Eris? It’s been “visually improved.”
- Friends on other carrier networks will now get any MMS messages I send. I didn’t realize they didn’t get them before.
The one interesting Android update appears to be a new ability to sync with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 calendars. But I don’t have a calendar using Microsoft Exchange Server 2010.
It’s kind of HTC not to give up on the end-of-life Droid Eris, but also somewhat underwhelming to see just how far the level of commitment goes. Ah well. Time for a hardware upgrade.
did any one have a problem charging your eris phone after the update? for some reason my phone doesnt charge after i installed the new update.
I haven’t had any problem. Have you tried a couple different chargers?
