MR2 Update is out! 1.17
 

For those who didnt know or released the "push update from verizon" the MR2 1.17 update is out and you can get it here http://www.pcdphones.com/




I have installed it and tested it. there are no visual changes but the Eris does feel a little faster and snappier.

Where can I check my phone to see what version I'm running on?

Yep... this got pushed out to my phone this morning.
Was wondering what it would do.

Re: MR2 Update is out! 1.17
 

Just appeared on my wife's Eris tonight , installed but haven't tried phone yet. Sometimes her phone doesn't see the Mobile Network - turning on / off the WiFI brings back the VZW internet - or restarting the phone.

This can be frustrating because sync , GTalk - all are lost / not working & you aren't aware (when it drops the network) until you go to use it (you can miss emails , IM's).

This could be because there's a weak signal where we live (but my Droid doesn't drop the entire connection , sometimes it gets lost, but it comes back, with her Eris it's gone until WiFi is on/off or the reboot) , you can tell when this happens because right away on hers when you pick it up - the 3G / 1X icon is completely missing.

I dunno if this will work but did you try a *228 update?

i did one of those the week after we had the phones (2 weeks ago) and thought about doing it again , will try it for sure soon, thanks for reminding

Re: MR2 Update is out! 1.17
 

no problem... after every update you should do the *228 anyway

Re: MR2 Update is out! 1.17
 

Her Eris has been better at staying active on the mobile network as of late , not sure why - maybe the latest update or performing anotther *228 , just so it's fine (now we were all good until my Droid suddenly has started to lose 100% of it's battery while Power OFF during the night) ...

Re: MR2 Update is out! 1.17
 

the phone is? or the radio signals?


i think weather could also be a factor if its cold or hot enough

Re: MR2 Update is out! 1.17
 

lately her phone stays online (mobile network) without losing the network connection (her GTalk stays online, doesn't lose connectivity) , the signal is usually not 3G because of where we live but it's at least staying online (wihtout draining the batterey going from 3G on and off) .

now if only my Droid didn't start losing it's battery 100% while turned OFF overnight all of the sudden and if I could send Picture Messages , all would be well around my house, now that her Eris' is fine , i have my 1st Droid issues ....

my wife just got an eris.

What does *228 do?

Re: MR2 Update is out! 1.17
 

if it was new she had no choice but to *228 it. it activates the phone, also you can download the updated roaming list. also sometimes it will fix the radio problems

Re: MR2 Update is out! 1.17
 

are you using the default messaging program?

Re: MR2 Update is out! 1.17
 

I have a TP2 so this doesn't really matter to me... However, CNET posted this 9hrs ago...

Droid messaging issues - to solve in the Droid forums
 

yes , i don't SMS or send pictures via messaging very often, so the default apps are fine - if only the pic mails wouldn't have started to fail (sending pictures via messaging , the message report detail output = "pending") , have to look into this on the Droid forums.

it started a couple of weeks ago , b4 then , no issues sending pictures .

on other message related issue - sometimes i get SMS messages - maybe they are considered picture mail messages - messages which you get a "download" button to recieve the message content, these usually fail - when hitting download, nothing happens, then after a few days, the message will finally come thru (you can see the entire content) - doesn't matter if Wi-Fi or 3G is used to attempt to "download" the message ...

so something has made messaging on the Droid freak out ...
