[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrooklynAvi:
I was using my phone a few hours ago (adding an icon from the application drawer to the home screen if that will help with solving the problem) when suddenly, the phone reset itself as though I had done a wipe from the recovery console. I had to sign back into Google and re-sync my contacts and calendar. All my settings were back to defaults. My home screen icons disappeared and changed to the default icons (browser, contacts, dialer, market, messaging, maps) as did the wallpaper. All my SMS messages were gone. Basically, it as was as though I had wiped and flashed the ROM for the first time.

However, and this is the weird part. Not only were all my apps still there but they were still installed. All the settings were lost but they were still there. I am not concerned with the restoration of my settings or anything like that. I've got that all covered with backups. My big question is why did it happen? Has anyone experienced or heard of this phantom reset? My ROM details are in my sig but just in case that changes and someone visits this post later, it will make more sense to them if I list it in the post itself.

Cyanogen 3.6.8.1 w/Recovery Menu v1.4. Radio v2.22.19.26i. A2SD on 550MB ext2 partition. Compcache enabled/24MB.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Has the only happened once with you? It could have been just a glitch.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Well, I can tell you why your apps survived, because you have them on sd card so that's not weird, you can wipe all you want and they will survive.

I would say this is a glitch, don't worry about it unless it happens again.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrooklynAvi:
Yes, the apps on sd being the reason I didn't lose them makes sense. I had a different problem losing apps on the sd when I wiped but that was a mistakes in the way I was slinking and it was also on JF1.51 (a2sd is very unstable on that ROM). Anyway, I'm seriously hoping it was just a one time glitch because my setup is voodoo smooth otherwise. I finally got my G1 running perfectly and I'd hate to think something was wrong. Either way, Nandroid is always an option.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrooklynAvi:
Phantom Reset Not a Glitch. Happened Again!

OK. So it happened again. The phantom reset that I described in the first post happened to me again. It's pretty annoying to have to perform Nadroid restores all the time. Anyone have any real thoughts other than telling me it was a fluke?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrooklynAvi:
Possible Answer

I am pretty certain that this happened right after I used Backup for Root Users. I have my identical setup on my father's G1 and this has never happened. He has told me in the past that he does not use that app. I don't want to instantly blame the app but I want to provide as much info as possible. Cyan's ROMs are too good for this to be an issue.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
The dev has reported that it has issues (if you can replicate the errors, send him a logcat)

hes on the forums on this site
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrooklynAvi:
SOLVED

Thanks a lot. I will try and write-up (on dev's site) of what I was doing when it happened. It happened to me twice so I don't think I will use it again (at least until it's fixed). I am a backup freak so I like to use multiple apps but nandroid seems to cover it all. I will stick with what seems to work (and work well) for now.

On a side note, Cyan's latest looks too juicy not to try out. Going to upgrade now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] xdadJeroen:
Guys.. i read on the net about two updates for htc touch pro2..

one to fix a bug about texting abroad.. and another about gps capability..

i found some links but i don't know how to actually update my phone..

could someone explain me?

(i heard there was already a thread about this but i couldnt find.. sorry)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ohyeahar:
You probably didn't check the obvious place for instructions. Try the HTC support site where you actually get those updates. They have detailed instructions. Not sure what more you can ask for.

You may also want to look here.

Btw, it appears you have to update to the latest ROM that was recently released before you can install the updates. And from other users' comments, the message appears to be "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] xdadJeroen:
haha stupid of mine.. thankyou... peace of cake actually
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] freaknormel:
If you do not have trouble with your device, and you wanna install those rom things..... Than it means your Looking for Trouble.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] snuwho:
I couldnt get mine to work. Said my phone is not compatible? Its a touch pro 2 how is that wrong? also tried to do a windows update on the phone it self and that would not work either.

help?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ksmm:
error 294 is what I have got as well.

seems, there is generic error by HTC.

I even tried to discuss with support, but they have no idea on how to deal with.

a bit out of topic

I am on vacation south-west poland this year. and, what is strange, my tp2 has lost position at about 50 miles from polish-czech border and got a fix immediately after border crossing. when driving back and forth few times, it behaved same way each time: loosing position after 2-3 miles on polish side and fixing right after returning to czech rep. hmmm...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] samstables:
Have you got a Vodafone branded TP2? I have and it says my device is not compatible or suitable or something with the upgrade OR even the Co-Pilot 15 day demo... GRRRR

Of course there is also nothing on the Vodafone site...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ksmm:
...it does not care where/how you have got your baby. my one is out of any promotion/operator and behaves samke way as yours ;-)

btw, htc have removed gps fix from their web - it was there yesterday but today disappeared, maybe they prepare a new release?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Espensodal:
Ive had disruptions when using the GPS myself. The way i see it, the phone is actally in need of a gps fix.

When i drove north for my vacation i was running garmin on the tp2. Suddenly it just lost GPS signal, on clear blue sky.

So, when i went south again, i used gps on my diamond as well as my tp2.

Apears the tp2 loose gps alot easier than diamond. Didnt loose gps once on diamond, but tp2 lost signal 6 times over 7 hours driving.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] samstables:
Actually not true. The phone companies put their own ROMs on and often take off/ add on software and sometimes even functuality, making them different to the OEM version. EG mine (a UIK Vodafone version) came with FM radio already installed - reading this forum shows that not everyone had it on their basic ROM.

Also ask anyone with a Vodafone TP2 if it's exactly the same as an HTC one... it's not and has its own thread discussing work arounds to change its appearance as you can't simply change it without outside software! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] volumnus:
I'm not sure how I did it, but I managed to configure my Tilt to sync with my work email. It worked for about a week then it stopped syncing. When I check the settings, the password looks way to long. I correct the password but it changes back to a password twice as long. I'm confused.

How do you all get work email on your phone. Do you push it somehow? I can access it online through an owa address.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
First, the password looks long because it's masked to prevent people guessing it.

Ask your IT guy what to do.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] volumnus:
Man something is going on.

The setting keep changing back. When I put in the server address, it keeps chopping of the end /exchange/. I had it running for a week. Everything was perfect. Now I can't set it up. It has to be something changing the settings.:mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] volumnus:
Finally got it working.

My Tilt has always been reluctant to accept any change in settings without soft resetting. I changed the email settings, soft reset the device, and made sure to UNCHECK ssl encryption and it's working ok now.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
I just got another G1 (two now), this one for work. In fact, the whole office is getting them. To make a long story short, we receive hundred of SMS messages a day for the kind of business we do (all automated, not actual people :) )

Anyways, I was wondering if there was anything better than the default SMS app that would help us manage these hundreds of messages better? Even if it was similar to the Gmail app, it might make it better to deal with. Just don't like the way it does threads and what not. Whatever app we go with, we can't root the phones (at least not yet) so we need something off the market.

Any guidance is appreciated!
[G1 Apps and Games] uberingram:
I receive hundreds of automated SMS's a day on my G1 with the stock client and it works fantastic. What exactly are you you not liking about the stock client? What would you like it to do?

IMHO, everything on the market that replaces the stock messaging app is pretty sub par.
[G1 Apps and Games] Slow is Fast:
I think he'd rather have a traditional inbox/outbox for messages than a threaded messanger.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
Yes, that is one thing I would love. The threaded system does not work so well for what we use our SMS alerting for. It's a lot better if we just have a list in chronological order.
[G1 Apps and Games] uberingram:
Ah, I see. Honestly, you'll be pretty hard pressed to find a dev out there who write an app to defeat threaded messaging for SMS since it would barely be used by the masses. :-/
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
I wouldn't say that so much. Some people like the old style of SMS. Maybe one of our developers in the company can take a look :)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Nandaly:
I used to have an old Compaq Aero 1500 that came with a Game Pack CD. This old Namco Pac Man game cab file was on it. It works on the Wizard (and likely other devices).

Button mapping is a little off, but most importantly, the DPad for directional control works properly. (can also use touch screen to direct Pac Man).

[default button settings]

The center DPad Select is the 'Action' button which Pauses the Game.

The "Mail/Messaging" button (top left - Button 1) Exits a Game during the play (<Start Menu>)

The "Explorer" button (top right - Button 2) is for Load/Save Game (shown as Record)

The "Camera" button (button 3) is to add Credits (shown as Menu - Insert Coin)

Button 4 (Hold) is the 2 Player Start (shown as Contacts)

1 Player Start does not appear to be mapped in default button config.

As I mentioned, this was a free Game Pack CD that came with the purchase of the old Compaq Aero 1500/2100 Pocket PC's... so I don't think there is any issue with posting the cab here as a "free-for-all".

I've rooted many G1s now and this is something I've never encountered.

I rooted this G1, it now has the "special" spl, cyanogens 1.4 recovery and the 26i radio but it wont take any rom past RC33. It hangs on the G1 screen everytime. I've even flashed it with my nandroid backups from other roms and same result. Am I forgetting something here?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
So you load the rom and update it. Does it say its succesfull? Then it just hangs on the g1 screen. What rom's are you trying?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1junky:
i had a problem similar to this.. my solution was formatting my ext2/3 partition then i was able to flash roms again hope this helps ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buster3616:
It flashes successful but wont boot past g1 screen. Also I'm not running apps2sd. I've tried several roms, none of which require apps2sd.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiroots:
so all you have is a fat32 partition? you have haykuros spl and htc radio, with 1.4 recovery. your on rc33. and you cant flash another rom?

since you have no ext3 partition make one first then post back your results.

steps:

wipe

make a ext3 partition

wipe again

repair file system

then flash.

wait for it to say done then rebot. if it boot loops, try going back to rc29 then root your fone, then insted of going from 29 to 33 go to cyans 3.9. with updated radio only no spl.

you can flash a rom then flash the radio it wont hurt your fone or rom.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
with all the other answers up if none of those work, maybe you got a bad download. if the dev posts a md5 for their download check it.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xordis:
please note, if your coming from another ROM I suggest you wipe.

I was using jerpelea's port of cyanogens rom and when I installed the rom this way I couldn't get wifi to work.

After a full wipe it was all fine.

Jerpelea's port of the rom uses (or used, I haven't checked lately) an old kernel, which meant compcache didn't work.

He has also added ringtones and changed some other things.

Personally I like to have it installed the way cyanogen intended it.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xordis:
Just uploaded a new version of the update and boot.img.

The only changes are that I used the init.sapphire.rc from a sapphire build (one minor change with relation to a debugging hotkey that hardly anyone would use or even know about)

And I have found one of the sapphire keymaps that it was complaining about in logcat and installed it.

If you have the existing one there is no need to reflash in my opinion.

The changes are very minor. Just wait for the next version.

If anyone spots anymore errors popping up in the log with relation to sapphire difference post them up and I will see if I can work out

These are two of the errors I have noticed.

If anyone has come across these files I will include them. (they aren't in any builds I have seen)

@ElChouch

First, Have you formatted your SDCard properly?

Second thing, what version of the userinit.sh are you using.

I am suspecting that your using one not compatible with compcache 0.6.

Do you have the latest version from here?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=542899

Only version 1.3 or above will work with compcache 0.6

I am running 1.3.7 and had no issues and all I had to do after installing the rom was format SD, and copy those files in.

I wanna try this, but I'm a noob at this compcache stuff. I am currently running CM 3.9.5 and want to upgrade to 3.9.7 with compcache and Apps2SD.

My Google ION is running CM 3.9.5 with no partitioned card or anything. I know how to partition the SD card, but what would I have to do afterwards to get Apps2SD working and compcache?

I know CyanogenMod's do Apps2SD automatically as long as you have a partition SD card. So what about compcache? Can anybody give me basic directions on how to do this?
