Hi all,
I'm experiencing much of the same problems with my Eris after this update as I've been reading on this forum: phone responding slowly to answering phone calls and opening up my mail and text messages, etc. I want to share a few other things here and see if any of you can help me with them.
I know updates change things, that's the reason for the updates, but this update completely changed all my settings. I was annoyed but not terribly upset that I had to put my widgets and shortcuts back on my home page, but the other things it changed, I can't figure out how to put back.
The second screen to the right use to be a page of more shortcuts of my choosing, now it's my group Favorites from my contact file. I actually like that, but don't want it on the second screen. The third screen is my messages. Before the update, it was the last screen and I never used it anyway so that last position was good for me. The last screen now is blank, so I put my widgets and app shortcuts there, which use to be on the second screen. Anyone know how I can move those screens around? I know by touching the home icon twice will bring all the screens up and there I can choose the screen I want, but I would just like to slide it over once and get to my shortcut screen I had before.
Also, before the update, I had a screen set up by scrolling to the left that turned on/off my WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS locator. I was able to replace the first two, but can't find a way to turn on/off my GPS the same way. I found GPS Tracker, but it's not the same and it launches itself. I don't want it draining my battery when I'm home. I'd like to have the option of turning it on and off again at my choosing as I had it set up to do before (I know the phone, when on, can be tracked, but by turning on the GPS I had before, my location was right on. Before, it was 2 miles off). Other programs are also launching themselves and I find myself going into Task Killer and whacking things through out the day. The three I find that are always running and I haven't opened them are MP3 Store, Settings and People. I have never even gone into the MP3 Store before. I copied my music over from my computer.
And speaking of music, I turned the Shuffle option back on, but it always starts on the first "A" song in my list, it doesn't shuffle the beginning. Seems like a small complaint, but it's one I have.
If any of you can help me put my phone back to the way I had it, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Yolanda

Yeah 2.1 was kind of weird. I wasn't fond of it on my DROID and I am not overly fond of it on my DROID Incredible. It is about the same on both so I am chalking it up to the OS. I hope 2.2 is better.
