Just wanted to update this thread.

One of the replies stated this has something to do with G Maps, so I tried disabling GPS in the location settings. My phone hasn't died ever since, running strong for weeks, if I run an app that enables GPS and I forget to disable after it's done, it'll eventually die when locked.

Hope that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djfoo000:
I never had the GPS toggle ON unless I want to open a GPS app. Still dies off.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaluso:
Hi,

having the same problem here. Random hang-ups, only when not charging and in standby. The GPS might be a good tip, it looks like my phone is more likely to freeze when I enabled GPS a while ago (and it doesn't matter if GPS was disabled afterwards).

Beside from that it just seems to be totally random. Already contacted the HTC support (which was very supportive) and they recommended to send it in. The problem I see is that if it is a hardware error it won't be too easy to find.

Fyi: European Phone, Android 2.2.1

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vulture:
Just an update of this current problem I had:

I returned my phone to the store with this problem (phone random dying on me) and they upgraded it with a new rom.

I currently use buildnumber: 1.72.405.CL286256, software number: 1.72.405.2

after this upgrade, I never had any problems like this (and using the phone for two weeks now).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djfoo000:
weird because the problem persisted even after I flashed CM6.1.1 (which was based on the 1.72 ROM I suppose?). My Z is with the dealer at the moment for a week already. Hope they can give me my phone back ASAP.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaluso:
Small update: Phone is running since 4 days. Haven't used any GPS during this period.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djfoo000:
hrmm... Might be some truth there.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scnix:
So, anyone else can confirm that upgrading the ROM solves this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CasterOil:
Hi all

In my experience, upgrading the ROM to 1.72.405.2 has not helped. I did this on Christmas day, and my phone has frozen many times since. In an attempt to diagnose the problem, I have been trying to correllate the freeze with any particular actions I or the phone may have taken, but failed so far.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentborg:
My Nexus One is in a funny state, my apps seem to be there but basic settings (such as my desktop background) are messed up and booting into recovery just sits there at the exclamation mark.

Before upgrading my Nexus One from its current stock FRG83 to FRG83D I wanted to backup. My phone had been rooted with z4root.

So I installed ROM Manager 2.5.0.7 and asked it to install ClockworkMod (2.5.1.0 it says I have) and make a backup. On rebooting it complained that the ROM manager unexpectedly quit.

Now I have a phone that boots, it made me go through the introductory screens.

I still have root. But I can't restore my backup (I get the exclamation point graphic).

I can't boot into the recovery (I get the exclamation point graphic).

I reregistered my Google account, and reinstalled ROM Manager, and it no longer quits, but I still can't recover.

UPDATE: I tried asking ROM Manager to reinstall ClockworkMod and restore my backup...no, got exclamation point graphic again. OK, tried to boot into recovery (worked!) and restore from there...kinda worked, listed a bunch of things it was restoring, said it completed, but on reboot I still am missing basic settings and when I try to run ROM Manager I get a complaint that it has stopped unexpectedly. I can live with ROM Manager wanting a reinstall, but I want my settings back. (Oh, ColorNote also complains on boot and won't launch manually, I don't use it, but I am wondering whether it lost its settings and is dying in a gumpy way when trying to read them.)

Suggestions?

Thanks bunches,

-kb, the Kent who googled this hoping it was a common problem, but he didn't find an answer and is starting to worry.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugly_bob:
I'm no expert but I think what might have happened is that Rom Manager may have not installed clockwork mod properly. I know I had this issue with my HTC Magic (flashing clockword mod through rom manager I mean).

Try flashing a different recovery image and see if you can restore your backup with that. I'm using Amon_RA's recovery, theres a version of it for the Nexus one here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611829

I'm kind of a noob at this so I'm not completely sure what your problem actually is, but this may help if it's a problem with clockwork mod.

Do you have the app stored on the SD card? If so that is probably the problem. You need to move it to internal storage. Most apps with widget seem to have this problem.

Hello ! I've watched videos and read every thread I can find, till tech stuff is coming out my ears. I want only to be able to side load apps,so I have to root my Captivate from AT&T. All I can find is to backup my rom after I root. BUT should i do one before I try to do this root thing?

Also If I root can I unroot when AT&T gets Froyo then reroot my phone. I am terrified to try changing to a custom rom or trying a lag fix due to the horror stories I've read on this and many other forums. I just don't want to mess up my phone. Thanks for any help or advice you all can give.:confused::) If you Can't tell I'm very new at this I had Blackberry before this and you could use third party apps all day long on it.:p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psai:
I just got a Captivate last week, and I rooted it on the first day. There's no need to backup before you root because rooting is a very safe process.

Use the One-Click Root Program: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739304

You can also use the program to unroot your phone whenever you want.

Best thing you can do is read before you do anything. I have been flashing roms for month as. I reached sort if brick status once and recovered in 10 minutes using one click odin program that flashes you back to stock.

Here is what I would test before you flash anything

Can you get into recovery:

With phone turned off hold volume up and down and power. When at&t screen comes up let go. Your phone should go to a screen with blue letters. If you see this you can get into recovery.

Download drivers for your pc for this phone. Can get this from samsung captivate website, our odin thread. Install and make sure your phone is recognized by your pc.

Power phone off. Hook usb into computer but not phone yet. Pull battery, sim, and external sd. Put battery back in. hold volume up and down while holding both buttons plug in your usb. Your phone screen should have an orange android character with a shovel. You are in download mode

Pull battery to get out and power back on

If you can not do any of these I would not flash anything. If you can do them all, you can recover from almost anything using odin one click.

Is anyone else having this problem? My email is hosted on Hostmonster and I use IMAP/SSL/Thunderbird to access my email on my PC. I'm trying to set up my email on k9mail and use the same configuration settings for Thunderbird. For reasons unknown, I keep getting an authentication error: k9mail keeps telling me that my username or password is wrong.

After making sure everything's correct, I used the stock browser to log into my email through the web interface, and guess what: it said my username/password combination is incorrect too. I fired Opera Mini and tried again: same result.

I have no problem signing into my account on my PC using Firefox or Thunderbird.

I googled around a bit but most of the issues associated K9mail/Mail are self-signed SSL certificate related.

Let's assume my username and password are both correct: what might be the cause of this, and is there a solution?:confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunTimeWorld:
There are several thread, especially one that contains an instruction on howto downgrade the HBOOT version.

Many users are not aware of the difference between an AMOLED and a SLCD Nexus device. The EPF30 ROM, is a special ROM, containing an image that WILL BRICK Nexus One devices that are of the SLCD generation!

The MICROP will be downgraded from 0c15 to 0b15, resulting in an irrecoverable flash, that will let the trackball light up in red, the only solution is to send it back to factory and let them fix it.

A lot of problems people are running into, is when they follow a downgrade instruction made by Nexus One owners, that have an AMOLED device and upgraded to boot version 0.35 by accident.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Wiki updated with a visible warning in the guide and reference to this thread.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunTimeWorld:
Very cool ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the first stock ROM to support SLCD was FRF91. I don't know if *all* versions of FRF91 support it or only the versions that came with said devices. But do *not* ever try to install an older version than FRF91 on your SLCD phone. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Stock FRF91 didn't support SLCD, only Korean and Vodafone versions of it. First Google ROM to support SLCD was unofficial FRG33 and official FRG83.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Great thanks. I think also the Mobilicity and Videotron Nexus Ones ship with a version of FRF91 and SLCD.

So if you mis-flash an SLCD phone there's no way out? You couldn't even try and blind-flash PASSIMG.ZIP?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Not if you just mis-flash, but if you downgrade HBOOT, which is not to be confused with flashing ROMs - and flash a very specific old OS build.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunTimeWorld:
If you look at eh EPF30, you'll find an image that is ment to flash microp code.

So - regardless on how many wipes and PASSIMG flashes you make, you'll never get to fix that, since till this very moment there's no SLCD ROM that contains a similar image to upgrade again.

This is why I opened this thread. the only way - is the hard way - to learn this. Because you'll hardly find that documented, or at least stated very clear. Thats why sticky threads with brick potential are dangerous imo
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Okay thanks. For the benefit of the uninitiated, can you clarify exactly what is the function of the "microp" code and why this downgrade makes the N1 unrecoverable?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tim4:
I saw one history by one guy on another forum.

He got some problems with nexus (something wrong with hboot), so he have flashed Eclair full stock rom on slcd nexus (I wonder what he was thinking about..). After flashing he got a brick with red-trackball.

But he says, that putting passimg.zip (korean one) solved it:

After power-on phone automaticly entered bootloader, founded passimg, checked it and started update procedure without any promt. Now the phone boots and works, but still have some problems with flashing custom roms (stuck on boot). Btw he says that red-trackball lighting didnt gone... so be carefull :-)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunTimeWorld:
Microp stands for microprocessor i suppose. Amoled have 0b15 version, SLCD do have 0c15. The only impact i know, is that the trackball will constantly light up in red, as there is a system warning.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tim4:
Microp - microprocessor?

I think microp means microprogram.

For example, low-level driver, bridge between hboot and radio

Newbie question

Sorry for the newbie question I am a long time winmo user about to make my first jump into an actual android phone after playing with android for a while on my HTC HD so I bought a used Nexus one on ebay the other day and it should be here by the weekend. How do i make sure its AMOLED and not SLCD? Is there a boot-loader code or another way to know based on manufacturing dates etc. or are all N1's AMOLED as I understood them to be till now, though this thread seems to suggest otherwise. Thanks for the help and patience.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
If you install an older recovery, that will let you know for sure. It won't harm the phone, but the screen won't work in recovery mode. Installing a newer recovery with fix again.

Amon started supporting SLCD at 1.8.0.1

Clockwork started supporting SLCD at 2.5.1.1
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
When you boot into the bootloader (i.e., hold the trackball down and power up the device), check the microp. If it its 0b15, it is AMOLED, if it is 0c15, is is SLCD...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xx_ED_xx:
ok say I load bootloader, and select recovery it shuts off and reloads a I would assume blank screen. Only way I can get the phone to work after that is to take the battery out and hit the power button. ALso when i download the OTA update it ask me to restart and install and i get the same thing. I let it sit all night thinking maybe I was just impatient but same thing take battery out to get it to work again. and it still has 2.2 on it at least according to the about screen
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
If you're rooted already, try ROM Manager and then use the All CM Recoveries menu to install version 2.5.1.4 of ClockworkMod. Do you see recovery now when you boot into it?

Also if you apply a PASSIMG that was designed to work on SLCD (e.g. FRG33) then you'll get stock recovery.

Flash a custom recovery like Amon_RA 1.9, and try the update again.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan-karg:
Hey guys,

just to assure my assumptions:

Is the microp flashed by a special file in the EPF30 image?

Is the assumption correct, that it would be flashed by, if I would flash it by hand:

fastboot flash microp <image_file>

Is there any danger of bricking my device when I build an old version of android from the source-code?

Old would mean for me e.g. ERD79 or below for experimental reasons.

Can the microp-image be hidden in the boot.img or the system.img so that I would flash it accidentally?

Best wishes,

Stefan

I've been running my A2SD for 2 weeks now and am happy with it - other than a few apps stutter a bit.

I've put this down to my slow 'non classed' 16gb memory card, so I ordered a Class 6 16gb one the other day.

Its turned up today, and I want to swap it for the current one.

As I don't have a Linux computer, whats the best way of doing this? I can't see the partition with the Apps on it in my Windows PC.

Should I just use Titanium Backup and do a batch backup of all my 'User Apps and System Data', then copy the contents of my SD Card to my PC.... then format the new card for A2SD, then copy the contents back and restore my Backup?

Any help appreciated!

download the ubuntu live cd here http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download. it will run from a cd or usb stick and dosent need to be installed, you will be able to see your sd-ext as its a linux os, you can then just copy the apps to your hdd, partition your new card using the native ubuntu disk utility and then copy your apps to your new sd card :)

[Desire General] 3722:
He can't because he has a ext2/3 file system partiotion that he's using for A2SD and ext is not shown in windows.

You probably don't have ext2/3 and that's why it worked without problems for you.

I don't think it matters, it should work both ways.

Wouldnt the easiest option to be to do a nandroid, partition the new sd card, then just restore the nandroid saves faffing about with other stuff.
