I'm don't think it is going to be a problem at all and I really don't think it will be really that visible when we use the device daily. Why are u sound so worried about the dots when they are visible in some rare occasions? most HTC phones have them too, I've never ever hear anyone complain about this.:confused::confused::confused:

similiar to this:

@the poster above - why quote the whole thing?!?!!

and yes, you can see the dots when its resisitive screens, this is a capative.

I haven't found an answer to it yet, but dont really care as long I can do my work/watch videos/surf without them being in the way ^^

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
Right then,

Already searched on this one and not yet seen a solution to my problem. I own a T-mobile G1 and my phone crashes after it has booted up, or will not boot up properly: either the T-mobile G1 screen stays on for 5-6 seconds then I get a black screen, or it boots up then freezes with a black screen, or it won't switch on at all.

I currently have:

T-Mobile G1 with Root

2.22.19.26I radio installed

1.33.2005 "Death" SPL installed

Amon_RA's RA-v1.2.3 recovery installed

MghtyMax "What a feeling" 1.9.1 Hero ROM installed

fat32, ext3 and linux-swap on class 6 8Gb sdcard

I can get to recovery (sometimes.....it doesn't always get that far) and fastboot, so hopefully it's not bricked. I have already tried wiping (ALT+W) and formatting the ext2 (from the option in RA's recovery menu and also via console); removing all the partitions and starting afresh recreating them (after removing them of course), and as I can get to recovery (sometimes) I have tried flashing a different ROM (SENSEhero 1.3.3 unthemed) but still get the same issue.

I have flashed quite a few ROMs recently and not had any issues, so any help on this one would be most appreciated!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
I'll give it a go..........
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
Seems like it is a problem with the sd card. Removed it and plugged it into my pc via a card reader and it couldn't recognise the card. Amazon here we come! Thanks for the help!

Give us a logcat from ddms.bat.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
he already solved it....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
Not again......

Okay,

It is still doing it and I'm not sure if it is the sdcard. Tried a different card I have at home and I still have the same problem.

I'm also getting extra coloured pixels appear on the T-Mobile G1 screen.

I can still get to bootloader and recovery (sometimes.....).

How do I pull a logcat?

MrZ:confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
adb logcat

you can also run ddms.bat and get the log from there
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian_v3ntura:
well trying to solve the problem by trying another sdcard is not a fix... since some roms do rely on the ext contents for things to work properly. what i suggest is having the 3nd card completely wiped and partitioned correctly..then move a rom onto the card and flash like u normally would.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
Thanks for the info.

That was one of the first things I tried. I managed on Tuesday to install AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.2_DRC92_rooted_base_v2.zip, and it worked for a short period of time, but it now crashes or doesn't boot up.

Getting worried now.......:(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Something may be wrong with the phone itself

Try flashing the RC29 and seeing if the problem persists. if it does, then its probably a hardware problem. You can talk to tmobile or HTC about it and see what they say
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
Thanks for that. I assume if they ask me to return it to them to reflash the original bootloader and recovery screens so that they cannot tell I've been "playing" with my phone...:cool:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Haha well once you flash the RC29 you wont have to because it will all be stock. If Tmo replaces phones for missing text messages, which is for sure a software problem (yes ive seen them do this), then they definitely will for this issue.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
If I flash RC29 (or RC7 for me) will this brick the phone as I currently have Death SPL. I'm sure I've read that somewhere on here?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
Unrooted.......

I've now reverted back to RC7 (as I'm in the UK) and all seems okay....for now.

I will run it like this for a day to see if it still crashes or does anything funny. If it doesn't, I will re-root and start again!

Thanks for the help with this. I will update if it continues to crash.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Alright lets hope this fixed it lol

also it may be a little late but you should be fine flashing the RC7 as it replaces the SPL and radio
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
EVT Board.........

Now this is interesting, RC7 was fine. Re-rooted the phone, fine. Flashed AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.2_DRC92_rooted_base_v2.zip ROM, fine. Flashed Amon_RA's v1.2.3.img recovery, fine. This is where it gets fun, partitioned my card within the recovery to FAT32, ext2 and linux-swap, then rebooted into recovery. The phone crashed. So, I thought there must be an issue with the sdcard. Put in the stock 2Gb card with the RC7 DREAIMG.nbh file on and pressed camera+power to go back to RC7. It came up with an red code 00058002, then went back to the bootloader screen. It stated at the top that it was an EVT board. Searched all of the Dream Q&A section for EVT and absolutely nothing. Tried going into bootloader again and that screen started to warp and the graphics and pixels started to jumble up.

Any ideas?:confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
wow.....it changed board types on you?

did you manage to flash cyan at all before that happened?

you should flash cyan and boot on it before flashing amonra's recovery.

you can then flash the recovery then partition the card and wipe just to be safe
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
I flashed the AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.2_DRC92_rooted_base_v2 ROM and booted it up fully. Then using the Terminal Emulator within Dev Tools I flashed Amon_RA's recovery. All went well until I partitioned the sdcard. It won't boot up at all into the home screen or recovery, just bootloader, although it did this before when it first started crashing. I'm gonna leave it tonight and try again tomorrow.

Do you know anyone else on here who has any idea on this one? Seems like I'm the first! :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
This is probably an issue with the recovery itself...though ive never read about anything like your having.

ill bump this thread and see if anyone can help...maybe david can (ill tell him to get on here)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mt3g:
why dont you give a differant recovery image and dont try to partition just try with a fat32 sdcard on a cyan rom or something see what happens with that
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnv45:
i suggest the following

ravs dream recovery

rav1.2.3

cyans roms..

to go past 4.1.99

you must install his htc 1.6 then the 4.1.99 then update to whatever you want passed that..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
I can't get into recovery atm. It did this before when it first started to crash. I have left it at home on charge and I will try later on today to get into recovery. If I can, I will revert back to RC7 and take it from there.

I will keep you all posted on this issue......
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
This is a weird one..

The random pixels and gfx thing is worrying.. that sounds like a hardware issue, yet RC7 worked fine.. It's possible that theres a problem with your ram/rom chip that only becomes apparent when you flash larger custom roms.. i dunno i'm clutching at straws really here. I've certainly not seen anything like this on a g1 before but my 10 years of support experience scream HARDWARE!!

Try putting it back to rc7 then lettting it do the OTA update. If that corrupts it again you can definitely get t-mobile to replace it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
Thanks for that. This will be the fourth time I've returned the phone. Once for intermittent power-off (they repalced the main board) and twice for non-working G-sensors (they didn't fix it once, then replaced the main board for a second time).

The only problem I can forsee if I have to return it is that the bootloader is the HardSPL with the skating Androids. Hopefully it won't get to that......!:(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
If you go back to rc7 it'll replace the bootloader with the stock one too.. they'll never know. :cool:

That said, t-mobile uk replaced my first g1 that had the sapphire spl, JF recovery and even a custom bootscreen that it was stuck on! They never said a word.. I don't think they care.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
Hmm, well I bought mine through Crapphone Warehouse, and I've been returning it to them under warranty for the previous faults. Do you think T-mobile (either a shop or online or by phone) would do the same or do you think they'll tell me to take it to the Crapphone Warehouse? The reason I ask is that Crapphone warehouse will tell me to put it in for repair and I know for a fact that their engineers won't be able to fix this and they will return it to HTC. I have a feeling that HTC will know I've been messing with my phone.:confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Not sure how it works when you use a 3rd party.. I would imagine that carphone warehouse are just a reseller and that your contract with t-mobile means you can use their support. Can't hurt to call them and ask. Just sound dumb on the phone and don't mention anything technical. I got my girlfriend to do it.. lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
LOL! That really did make me laugh. My wife's got an iPoop at the moment. She's actually quite tech savvy, and a gamer. I'm a lucky man! :D

I will let you know how I get on with T-Mobile.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
Now, fastboot seems to work okay, but being an idiot I have wiped my nandroid backups (I know, dunce hat for me). Do you have boot.img, system.img and recovery.img from one of your nandroid backups I can download to see if this will work? I know it might permanently brick my phone, but I'm willing to try anything......
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
Fruition! Well, in the fact I now have a working G1

Finally, after the Crapphonewarehouse having my phone for a grand total of 51 days (51. Go on, count 'em), I've got it back fully repaired.

They couldn't fix it themselves so they returned it to HTC Europe. I was just a little nervous :). HTC replaced the mainboard, but they knew I had been messing with my phone. It was nice of Crapphonewarehouse to actually put the invoice HTC sent them for the repair in with my paperwork. As it was a warranty repair it should have been free to all parties, but, as HTC knew I had modded my phone they charged $169 for the mainboard replacement because of "Illegal firmware upgrade SPL- HSPL10.95.3000...." to Crapphonewarehouse. The beauty of it was that I didn't pay a penny. They never asked!!! (Not that I would have paid anyway :p)

Here's a note for everyone:

Even if you've totalled your phone through "bricking" it or frying the internals or anything (except water damage.......) TAKE YOUR PHONE BACK IF IT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND ACT DUMB. I told them that there was an auto-update box appeared and I tapped "Update Now". I would suggest not telling them that it is running the latest Hero ROM or that Windows 7 runs nice on it.............

Thanks to B-Man007, GoldenarmZ, mrnv45, mt3g, brian_v3ntura and Binary100100 for your help.
[Hero CDMA General] elguapo76:
Just wondering that the process is for future updates from Sprint/HTC on our rooted phones? If we update do we lose root access? Do the updates have to be hacked first?

On a side note it was just posted that an update is very close in the Sprint Hero forum.

http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/24346?tstart=0
[Hero CDMA General] thecodemonk:
Most likely the new updates will fix the vulnerability that gave us root...then we'll be like the GSM Hero brothers and sisters and have to downgrade to root and use a custom ROM to get the new features.

Now I say "most likely" because they might do it in such a way to not break root access, but there's no guarantee.
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
Most likely is correct. Here's the thing though. All we need to do is a get a dump of the rom when the update is released and we can package it in such a way as to not lose root. But whatever you do, do not update your phone. Now, usually OTAs are automatic so I removed any apks in the system directory that has to do with update. I don't know if that will help or not but it didnt hurt me yet.
[Hero CDMA General] tstack77:
Interesting, had no idea that OTA updates were automatic. What other apk's did you delete beyond Sprint_App_Updater? (I actually left that one alone for updating the voicemail...might just rm to be safe.)
[Hero CDMA General] elguapo76:
That's interesting. With so many people complaining about OTA updates, it is actually more beneficial for us to be able to download and do manual updates. I would hope that Sprint gives us the option to decline an OTA update, last I heard they were holding off on them because of the legal implications that might arise if somebody needs to access their phone in an emergency situation and the phone is updating :eek:
[Hero CDMA General] cicada:
Assuming it's OTA and automatic - is there still usually user-intervention involved? IE, will the phone pop up a 'yo dawg, we herd you like updates, so we got you some updates for your updates' with a nice little cancel button? Or will it be more like 'updating phone now, you lose!'?

It's probably a moot question since nobody's seen it happen on this phone yet, but I have to imagine it'll be similar to other OTA's on previous androids.
[Hero CDMA General] nelson8403:
You can turn on and off what you want OTA to do

Settings >> Security >> Firmware Download
[Hero CDMA General] thecodemonk:
It will probably be the former...asking you if you'd like to update now. I can't imagine them doing it like they did on the Palm Pre (Update now...or choose later and we'll just operate in the background and force it down your throat later).

This is another good reason to use a custom ROM...most of them disable this (or use their OWN OTA updater that is a bit more polite :P)
[Hero CDMA General] cicada:
I've been hesitant on the MoDaCo ROM so far as I'd pretty much made the changes I was after already, any idea if MoDaCo has removed the Sprint updaters?
[Hero CDMA General] cicada:
The obvious always escapes me, thanks for the tip :)

i found some answers in dream threads. changing font color is very very troublesome job. has to lots of steps and i dont think its as simple as packing in update.zip. but i tried thoe things but doesnt seem to change color in hero. probably htc or googlr has changed things in hero from dream in those files.

i will keep trying though. lets see. i am trying to get some support from dream threads but no responses yet.

Why dont you ask ratcom? i think he knows, or ask Behnaam here:

[Touch HD General] guro:
hi guys,

the auto backlight feature of the HD is quite nice, but one thing really annoying me:

if you are in a dark room the backlight is still to bright. i mean, theres no light around but it is still on propably 50% brightness.

is there a way to fix/change it somehome? maybe some registry settings with min and max value for brightness used by auto backlight?

or to calibrate my sensor? saying normal room light = 50%, outside = 100%, room in the evening with only tv on = 0%?

maybe somebody else solved it already, board search didn't gave me usefull topics.

thanks in advance,

The fix is less complicated than the thread referred to above (unless this issue is different from the one I had). There is a welcome message from Microsoft in the text messages, but for some reason TouchFLO won't open the message.

Disable TouchFLO by going to Start>Settings>Today, select the Items tab, and uncheck TouchFLO 3D. Check the "Messaging" Item. Touch FLO will be disabled, giving you the normal Windows 6.5 Today screen. Navigate to messages, and you should see the text message there. Delete, and you should be all set. Reload TouchFLO.

This was driving me crazy too, until I stumbled upon in on accident (jut wanted to see what the normal Titanium Today screen looked like).
