Because many programs require root access, like the wifi tether app.

So am I going to be able to update/see when the update is available if my phone is already running 2.1 version.. because I still haven't seen anything about it and I'm checking my update section..?

I looked around and I am not positive, so if I am asking in the wrong place, just point me in the right direction

My friend has an Eris, and she just got the official 2.1 and now she says her battery life sucks... I was looking to root her phone and get rid of all the junk on there, I found leaked 2.1v3 but can you use that if the phone is already on 2.1 ? how close is a rooted 2.1? c'mon devs. Sammy users had a rooted 2.1 the day it was released =)

ARG.... Battery completely sucks after the 2.1 update!!!!!
I'm ready to smash this thing and get a warranty replacement.

[cg83]

hmmm i must say i dont have a problem with the battery. dont get me wrong it could be better but thats partly my fault cause i have gps on all the time. this will drop your battery level as well


some things for people to check on and disable when not in use are:

Bluetooth
GPS
Mobile Network
Wifi
Weather Sync(just either turn off or change the time to sync)
Gmail sync
any type of app you have running constantly(such as lookout)


you can try using a task manager but some people have different results with them

also check for the standby battery glitch.

the leaked 2.1 v3 is the same as the OTA so that pretty much wont help


if you wanna root her phone then she must downgrade to 1.5(i think thats is possible with the 2.1 ota) and then root from there.


DONT use the leak and try to root from that. wont work....not as of yet

[loserpunk701]

so how do I downgrade her to 1.5? you'll have to forgive me, on my moment we plug it to the computer, replace the rom we want in the sprint updater, and flash..
