I am following that guide. I did everything on that, but after the cyanogen android screen, I get brought to a black screen, similar to what happens if I try using an incompatible theme. I have tried thrice now.

Any other ideas? Again, this is not my phone, so it is kind of urgent that I get this matter resolved.

Happy New Year!!

3g connection problem

I am also having problems with 3g. This didnt happen before until I upgraded to 4.2.9 and then up. I can browse the market for a few minutes before connection drops. Same with web. Same with games like Craigs Race. I cant even play anyone anymore. I can however send texts. It was working fine with 4.2.5. Now if I go back to 4.2.5, its still messed up. I dont know what the hell is going on. Might be my phone? Ill try contacting Tmo to see whats going on.
[G1 Android Development] klyon:
wow. Page 1000 on the first day of 2010! Good work, Senor Cyanogen; you couldn't have planned it any better. (That is, of course, if you didn't plan it...)
[G1 Android Development] saffad:
oh my god, G1 just crashed again while waking the phone up. Strangely the icon for Dialer had dissapeared aswell. what the hell is going on!

my G1 seems impossible to use, It acts like its bricked everytime it crashes! and it crashes everytime i wake the phone up after leaving it for 10-15mins! can't seem to fix it..
[G1 Android Development] 808xplode:
have you tried to fix permissions by going into terminal and typing

su

fix_permissions
[G1 Android Development] 808xplode:
you could be having issues with your sim card, I think t-mobile will give you one for free too.
[G1 Android Development] kefs:
you wouldn't happen to have a logcat would you?

btw.. 10000th post! w00t! sounds like it might be time for a new thread...

edit: got beat!! damn!
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Bricked is an electronic device that has been damaged beyond repair. Your phone is not bricked. Do you know how to run logcat?
[G1 Android Development] Jamison904:
Maybe you should stick with the stock ROM, just saying. If not I suggest downloading 4.2.11.1 for a fresh ROM. Doing a wipe, then reinstall the HTC recovery image and Flash 4.2.11.1. Also do a ext repair and make sure you are using a ext3 partition. This should help.
[G1 Android Development] saffad:
no, I dont know how to do run a logcat, but i did a quick google search and I have to run an app or something right? But I can't even turn my G1 on at the moment, and no charging lights...

btw, this issue just started happening. I never had a problem with CyanMod since v3 or something and I have been upgrading correctly..I'm also using ext 3 partition. hmm my G1 time is over? :(
[G1 Android Development] saffad:
My phone got bricked before when i tried Hero ROMs...T-Mobile changed the motherboard completely. butI think it is bricked now :( doesnt respond to any button combination presses, no charging lights...

edit: somehow the phone turned on after taking battery in and out a few times..i will attempt run logcat. I suspect the battery is at fault. Im gonna have to buy a new one.

here's my logcat its extremely long!! would appreciate if someone could have a look..

[G1 Android Development] njordan:
Ok, thanks for your feedback. How to flash via recovery. Can I just download the update.zip to SD and do a flash without wiping?

Will this keep my data and still update the system, that would be great..

Thanks for feedback!
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
I'm having the exact same problem. Has there been a solution to this? I checked the issue tracker and didn't see anything in there so I'm going to submit one.
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
Just a little feedback from using 4.2.11.1

1) phone becomes laggy for about 30 seconds after turning wifi on or off.

2) phone becomes unresponsive for about 30 seconds after installing apps in the market.

3) scrolling through the browser is slower.

4) overall performance of the phone is slower.

This is really the first time I've actually felt one of these roms lose performance. Running the rom with no theme, compcache enabled, advanced task manager to kill background apps, and have not ran a logcat.
[G1 Android Development] MetalGearMaster:
I upgraded from 4.2.9.1 to 4.2.11.1 and now I'm stuck on the G1 boot screen. I previously has the DarkStar theme installed. Any help on how I can try to restart my phone or do something to get me back in control?
[G1 Android Development] pityr:
pull the battery out and start over.
[G1 Android Development] MetalGearMaster:
Actually, I pressed Menu + Power + Call button and it restarted back to recovery mode. I'm reapplying CM now and see what happens.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I'll give that a try and see if it makes any difference. I'm starting to think it's just t-mo giving me ****ty service. I had forgot that about 2 days prior to this I was sent a text message from T-Mobile telling me a new tower was being put up in my area so expect better service. Ironic, isn't it?
[G1 Android Development] pityr:
I have had the problem off and on ever since I got the G1. Started off using Hi MSN and people started to tell me I had crappy internet service cause I was always signing on and off. Got Meebo and the problem went away for a month or 2. Then it started happening to Meebo and I went back to Hi MSN and enjoyed a solid connection for a few more months. It went crappy and I went to e-buddy. Now Im back on Hi MSN. Each time I switched I noticed that a lot of people were complaining about connection issues in the comments. I do think it has something to do with the phone. This was never a problem on my Dash.

It could be that the phone is killing the app in the background due to low memory as well.
[G1 Android Development] wagz:
YEah, add me to the list having bad 3g connectivity. I've noticed this the last few updates. I don't think it's tmobiles network because my girlfriend on a stock cliq gets good 3g reception whenever mine kicks over to edge or gprs in some cases. What it feels like to me is that possibly something changed in the rom that effects the signal strength of 3g connections or bumps us off 3g altogether with instability of the handshake.

Was the European 3g performance boost hack added to Cyanogen Mods somewhere along the way?
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
I can't get Music to start.

I ran DDMS and it keeps saying this over and over.

D/MediaPlayer( 667): Couldn't open file on client side, trying server side

E/MediaPlayerService( 125): Couldn't open fd for content://media/external/audio/media/409

E/MediaPlayer( 667): Unable to to create media player

I tried fix_permissions

My phone is acting crazy

Ever since I updated to the latest CM rom, my phone is acting possessed or something. Everything is super slow. I got lag lag lag. When I press or tap a app it takes forever for it to do anything. Even when I use the keyboard, i got lag. I have never seen this before in my several months of using CM's rom. Its like this is someone esle's phone or something. After making a phone call, the phone lags bigtime. When scrolling contacts it seems as if the phone is in pain just to do that. I have done fix permissions, cleared Dalvic (sic), I dont know what else to do besides go back to an earlier release or wipe.
[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
try to re flash the rom
[G1 Android Development] student.driver:
Me too. It's more of an annoyance than anything, but I noticed it in 10.1 as well.
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
Mine is super slow also. I'm gonna try and reflash the rom and see if that helps, if not I'll just go back to an older version.

cm updater

I have a lot of issues on my g1 with the last updates... Right know I have cyanogenmod 4.2.11.1 but I think that now I'm going to 4.2.9... but there is something weird, in the cm-updater right now appears updates of 4.2.9 and lower, what happened?

Well, my issues are:

- the phone sometimes get soooooo slow!!!

- in the gtalk there is a problem with the notification bar when you clicked the first time I get a forced close and in the second works well... and sometimes the chats are errased!

- sometimes I have problems for install apps
[G1 Android Development] kevev:
It is the ROM. I have confirmed by flashing back to stock and also to "TheOfficial DONUT TMO US/EU, ADP & AOSP (dream/32B) [12/22/09] -- v2.4.2" on both my G1's. The problem went away completely. Been testing all day.
[G1 Android Development] walie:
I agree as well. I get significantly better 3G connectivity in 4.2.5 compared to the latest versions
[G1 Android Development] ciryan:
Installed 4.2.11.1 could not get any data connection at all to set up the phone. The 3G symbol was there but the arrows were not flashing. Bypassed all the initial gmail set up and still no go on the data connection. Went back to 4.2.9.1 and all is well.

I also got a few force closes with the brief navigation I did before going back to 4.2.9.1

No complaints here at all just offering feedback...thanks for all the kick ass work man!
[G1 Android Development] Lithium98:
Don't see it anywhere under the settings for the browser. There is a "web settings" option that's not selectable under the category "advanced settings". I'm running CM 4.2.11.1.

Anyone else might know if there's a way to change the view in the browser from mobile web to desktop???
[G1 Android Development] adisa:
you will need to flash a Dark star theme that is 4.2.11.1 compatible or you can find another theme like the CHM binary that is already compatible i.e. CM-42101_CHM_BinaryRelease+AdvLaunch_WithLock. best of luck
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Well this is a conundrum now isn't it? It's weird because i had been using 4.2.9 when it started happening to me. A few wipes and flashes of various roms and still an issue so that's why I thought it not to be the rom. On the other hand, all the roms I tried were variations of Cyan's so who knows. As we speak, I have 3g and have for a little bit, but every now and then it switches to the E without me physically moving anywhere so no signal blockage or anything. Something to keep an eye on.
[G1 Android Development] mrkev150:
Aw... The flashlight app bug hasn't been resolved yet :( ... Everything else seems fine though. Will continue to use 4.2.5 until this is resolved. Good work though Cyan.
[G1 Android Development] mattv888:
Interesting... I live in Europe, and have had no 3G problems whatsoever. The T-mobile network in the Netherlands actually has very good 3G reception. Is the problem America specific?
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
the latest cm rom doesnt work for my g1...after applying update, it jsut stays at the boot screen
[G1 Android Development] saffad:
Is it possible to brick your phone with this ROM ? My phone doesnt respond to anything now, no button combinations, no charging lights....The battery was full charged before so I don't know whats wrong. It used to freeze at certain times and turn off so i took the battery out and turn it on, but now i can't even turn it on!!
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
no, it's not.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
try a different battery, same thing happened to me. the 2300mA ones are much better anyways.
[G1 Android Development] brownbomba:
Update

I had a felling that the issue I was having was not due to CM's rom. So, I went back and starting looking at what updates I had done to any apps. I noticed that the Handcent SMS app was one of the apps that was very slow. I had the latest Handcent which is version 2.9.26 in which the dev said was an update for the Moto Droid phone. So I went to Appmanager and reverted the Handcent back to 2.9.15 and the lag and slowness stopped. Its hard to believe that one app can mess the whole phone up.

It seems that alot app devs are updating there apps for the Droid and other new android phones. So I dont know if im gonna be updating my apps so fast anymore if they are working fine for me. I have the G1.

I have a off the subject story to tell. Anybody noticed how some Droid owners think that they are the first ones to own an android phone. I was at a bar the other night, and the bartender was talking about her girlfriend's droid phone and she was telling me about all the cool stuff that it does. Then I started telling her my G1 was able to do all of the that and more. Finally, she stopped talking to me because she thought I was lying.........lol.
[G1 Android Development] talexbikes:
Do you get a change going from 4.2.7 to 4.2.8, as Cyanogen indicates in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5090459#post5090459 that he was putting the change in 4.2.8.

However, I can't find any references to the same problem in that thread (there are a few people commenting on sporadic speeds).
[G1 Android Development] zer0day:
I've noticed the entire phone slows down if I download something from the market. If I open any app after using the market, home app dies straight away and takes ages to load again when I go back to it.

Also, yesterday a call came in, and it wouldn't respond to the answer button :o If I enable wifi, the entire phone seems to lag for half a minute, any touches/keypresses are not processed and show an anr dialog.

I have to reboot to get it back to speed.
[G1 Android Development] penima:
Thanks djcalamari

I did as you suggested, and installed user.conf Creator. But I only managed to succeed after completely unintalling Droid Swap. Now I don't get anymore SD CARD DAMAGED warnings after unmounting. Thanks a lot
[G1 Android Development] jweezy92:
alrite im sick of 1.6 lol wuts good wit some 2.0 lol even 2.0.1 would be good Cm dont let us down ur a great developer i know you could do something wit this all these other developers are tryinag to do the impossible and alot are doing it just cant get the camera to work with a brain like yours i know you could do this ! PLEASE BRING US 2.0
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
I have the same EXACT symptoms. I posted it a few pages back. I reflashed the ROM just in case, but it's still acting up.
[G1 Android Development] ohgood:
i've noticed that if i'm on the edge of a wiki signal, which is encrypted, things will slow down. when the signal is good and strong, there isn't a slow down. also, if you have gps settings enabled with the camera, it will have a few slow downs (nothing major) while acquiring gps signals.

i haven't noticed any other slow downs with this rom. see if you can duplicate what i've seen with a stronger wifi signal ?

try with gps disabled in the camera settings ?

cool
[G1 Android Development] prophetjinn:
It's not that they can't get the camera working, they don't have the drivers. Or at least they didn't. Not sure if they've been released yet? :P

My Tracks

Anyone having problems with Google's My Tracks? Mine has been buggy since 4.2.11.1. It won't keep recording when the screen turns off. I have reinstalled the app and cleared its cache. I don't know if its a problem with the rom or the app.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Got this fixed by clearing Music data in Settings > Applications..
[G1 Android Development] randomness55:
something weird just happened. I went to check my phone and I had a warning icon so I checked it out and it said my SD card had been unmounted. When I cleared the message my phone then froze up on me. It then just turned off. I turned it back on and when I got to the home screen my buttons didn't work, I couldn't unlock my phone, but I managed to do a reboot. 2nd boot up everything went back to normal. I'm a bit concerned because a few weeks back I got an SD card error which left my phone all messed up so I had to wipe everything (sd and phone) and repartition my card and I'm wondering if it's going to happen again

I forgot to ask if this has happened to anybody else
[G1 Android Development] g1gangsta6604:
yeah its most likely because the sd is currupt or is not a class 6 i had the same problem....
[G1 Android Development] randomness55:
oh ok, I guess I'm gonna have to go out and get a new one then. I wouldn't be surprised if it craps out on my one of these days

thanks for the reply
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Honestly, I can't recall but man I can't call it no more. It seems to work when it wants to because, and I almost don't want to say it (knock on wood) for fear of jinxing myself, but I have had consistent 3g for the past 14 hours. Not a flicker to edge, so who knows? lol
[G1 Android Development] penima:
I can't see paid applications on Market even after running Market Enabler. Any ideas why? What could be wrong?
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
Can I install an older CM ROM by just updating over a new one or do I need to do a wipe? The current ROM (4.2.11.1) is incredibly slow on my phone :(
[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
wipe to be safe.
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
is there anyway to backup apps and settings, wiping the phone, flash the update, then flash my apps and settings back?
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
get amon ra's recovery and do a bart backup from the recovery menu, copy that backup from your sdcard to your cpu. reboot into recovery, format, wipe and reflash from the recovery menu also. then reboot into recovery again. usb/ms toggle, move backup back to sdcard and use the bart restore tool from the recovery menu. GET AMON_RA's RECOVERY! it's awesome!
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
Thanks for the info. What exactly does bart backup do that the nandroid doesnt do?
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
as far as the guts i'm not sure, but i believe that nandroid only backs up system , system data and ext partition.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
no problems with 4.2.11.1

i get no problems with this rom

in fact, since i disabled comcache, everythings been smoother than ever

cameras work, market works (paid and free)

i even got the orb tv streaming again on dolphin browser (it never did in stock browser anyway)

after recalibrating battery thats good too, getting a full day (18 hours or more) out of it with normal use

cyan is THE man
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
what does comcache do and how do you disable it? What method do you use to recalibrate the battery?
[G1 Android Development] bigstunta101:
love ur work cymod but update soon plz. this Rom glitches bad when opening things like dialer or going back to homepage n things lik that
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
comcache= compressed cache supposedly makes things quicker...you can disable it in the included spare parts app

run your battery all the way down till it wont power up anymore. charge it with the power off until the led goes green, and then for another two hours still while the power is off. unplug charger, power on device and run it down again WITHOUT charging it again, and repeat. calibrated
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Wiki.cyanogenmod.com
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
This ROM works perfectly. I experience no glitches when opening dialer or going back to homepage. Take your time updating, please.

For every post in this thread complaining about market, battery, 3G, wifi, FCs, lag, etc., I can counter that I don't experience these issues. None. All of you should assume that Cyan isn't going to release a ROM that has a glitch, and if you encounter one, do what all of us do: try to reflash the ROM, try to repartition your SD then wipe and reflash base and ROM, try to load apps one at a time and test between each app.

Finally, I don't care that your flashlight app doesn't work properly. I seriously doubt Cyan cares either, and I hope he doesn't waste a second trying to get his ROM to work with your flashlight app. Buy a flashlight.
[G1 Android Development] damn pixie:
I installed the cm 4.2.11.1 update over cm 4.2.9.1, allowed my phone to reboot (installed via the CM updater) and now my phone will not go past the g1 screen. It seems to dislike whenever I try to adb push something to the /sdcard (like a new build) because the phone will restart (it let me adb push something once, then never again).

I have searched this forum for over 5 hours today, trying different things to fix my phone (wiped and repartitioned my SD card, trying different roms, remount, cleared dalvik-cache, etc) and am still stuck at the g1 screen. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Use the base rom from enoms thread then flash cyan's rom on top.Dont use the dev_signed blah blah rom that you used to use.
[G1 Android Development] bigstunta101:
you know its called feedback. nobody expects a perfect Rom, the rom needs work and if we dont tell him things like this, the how in the flying **** will he help us out in the upcoming updates. true and fair some people on here ***** and moan about certain unnecessary things but a dev does need some feedback to know how his Rom is working with different people's. not every phone works the same. keep dat in mind u pompous ****
[G1 Android Development] wagz:
What a coincidence, because none of us give a flying Fsck if it works for you. Because, I'm sure Cyanogen's only goal is to keep YOU happy. The fact that you don't exhibit the same issues as others just means that maybe you don't put your phone under the same day-to-day pressures that others do in order to be productive. But hey, since it works for you everyone here must be morons to be audacious enough to configure their phone differently than your setup with a different mix of settings and apps. Oh, an perhaps a flashlight app isn't important to you, but may be a huge help to someone who depends on flashlights and backup lights for their job. That's an extreme example but the point being just because it's not important to you, doesn't mean it isn't important to someone else in their own situation.

So anyway, if you are done being myopic, why don't you help fix a lot of the problems where people did reflash and wipe idiot.

It seems to me that gmail syncing is not working properly. Used to be I'd be notified immediately of a new email, but now, I got no notification whatsoever. I do have all my sync option set appropriately in settiongs >> data synchronization. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[G1 Android Development] ohgood:
occasionally gmail sync will have a hiccup. i've noticed once a week or so syncing will take a little longer than normal. if you expect it to be a phone based problem, clear your gmail cache- i'll bet it's not there that is the problem. the servers sometimes just slow down. :)
[G1 Android Development] Darrien13:
Market update!!

I did a fresh install and wipe on the newest build twice and I have yet to receive the market update!! What is up with that? Has tmobile stopped pushing it?
[G1 Android Development] ezzieyguywuf:
Ok, so you don't think it's a cyanogenmod problem, but a Gmail problem? I dunno... does gmail use IMAP IDLE? Because in that case I really would expect zippy updates on my phone. I mean, google is friggin rich, they probably got a small-country's worth of servers sitting somewhere...

I'll try clearing the cache (settings >> manage applications or w/e right?)
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Brilliant. Disparaging the man's ROM, indicating it glitches, and asking him to provide a new ROM soon to resolve your issues, is pompous and myopic. Worthless post, providing zero feedback and zero benefit to anyone reading the thread.

I stand by my feedback, and my suggestions remain the same. Rather than whine, repartition, wipe, reflash. If your phone "glitches," it's your issue and your responsibility to provide details, not cry in an XDA post that you need an update soon. Genius.

Haha @ Myopic and pompous. I can load the ROM and get the phone to operate properly without crying and whining in XDA.
