I've seen this posted on Android forums and HTC forums, but not much on here, so I wanted to check and see if any other Eris users were having a similiar issue.
I received my Eris update on December 11th, and chose to update. It installed normally, and everything seemed fine. Two days later, the phone completely locked up while I was replying to a text. Literally nothing would work, no buttons or functions, and the screen stayed lit up and absolutely would not shut off for anything. I had to pull out the battery and turn the phone back on. After I did this, it restarted normally and didn't act up again for 2 more days. Then yesterday, I was checking my voicemail, and the phone's screen froze during the call. I couldn't hang up the call, and again had to pull the battery. Today, I received a text and could not unlock the screen (and no, the freezing has nothing to do with the new unlock method on the screen - absolutely no buttons will work when it freezes). I pulled the battery out yet again. I called Verizon and the tech said she hadn't heard about it. Called HTC and they hadn't heard about it either- and ironically, right after I hung up with HTC, the phone froze and I had to pull the battery yet again. Yet, I've seen it in numerous threads on numerous forums.
The freezing is clearly sporadic and has nothing to do with a certain application, as it's happened 4 times with 4 different applications being used. I got the Eris a little more than a month ago, and it never did this until the update. I am really not willing to do a factory reset, as it's just going back to the same software, which I think is really the issue here.
Has anyone else experienced this and/or been able to solve this issue?
