Droid Eris – OTA Update

eris_update_smallNo, this isn’t the Android 2.0 or Android 2.1 update you were looking for.  Sorry for those of you on the edge of your seat.  The update is apparently just a minor bug fix and whatnot.  It’s labeled: Droid Eris ROM:1.16.605.1//Radio:2.32.40.11.09. Yeah, that’s not very exciting is it? 

Enjoy enhanced performance on your Droid Eris with the
following updates:

  • While on a call and the device is in screensaver mode, pressing the End key now takes the device out of screensaver mode, and a second press will end the call.
  • On-call mute and speakerphone icon functionality is enhanced.
  • Upgraded functionality after activation eliminates the delay users were experiencing in receiving their first call.
  • Device now switches effectively from 1x mode to 3G.
  • Device no longer requires users to reselect a default email after power-cycling.
  • SMS and MMS messaging delivery is improved.
  • Eighty-character MMS/SMS message subject lines are now allowed.
  • Improved picture messaging functionality allows messages from LG phones to be opened.

Hopefully, there will be another big OTA update announcement soon.

    Awesome. Still waiting for my turn to get it. Let’s get some of that 2.0 goodness too. 2010 seems so far away.

    Just wanted to say that I’ve noticed about a 40 – 60% increase in battery life from this OTA update on my Eris. I used to get home from work and have to plug in right away every day, but now I can go 1.5 days. It’s amazing!
