[Nexus One General] TAKEphONE:
Hi,

Yes - I have that, too.

Every now and then (but often) when I start a call, the screen goes black.

Sometimes if I press the POWER button it turns on again, but sometimes it just stays off, and only thing I can do is take the battery out, and in again, and power on.

Read somewhere that the proximity sensor always returns NEAR (using a uitlity called Elixir).

Any fix ?

TIA
[Nexus One General] TAKEphONE:
I have it. See above.
[Nexus One General] JFrosty:
I love it so far, but I'm having problems with the GPS. It either takes forever to fix, or just never gets to it. I tried wiping and re-installing, but it didn't work.
[Nexus One General] TAKEphONE:
Hi,

Can I restore the previous OS version ?

TIA
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Ok, twice in the last 4 days my launcher has crashed (stock launcher).

Once that happens the phone starts acting really weird, like when going back to the home screen from apps will just give a blank screen showing the wallpaper and nothing else, the menu won't pull up either. The only fix is to restart it.

This is kind of annoying now that it has done it twice to me.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Yeah, I've had that happen to me a few times as well. I've also had some problems with other apps not displaying properly too. A few days ago when I launched Talk, I got was a black screen. If I scrolled the invisible buddy list, or clicked on an invisible buddy to go to the chat screen then I could see everything correctly again, but if I excited out of the app and relaunched it the problem came back.

This isn't just a problem with Talk, because I had similar problems with several apps, including the launcher, at the same time. I had to reboot to correct the problem. Overall I'm quite happy with Gingerbread, but I do hope a 2.3.4 is in the works.
[Nexus One General] Rythmstik:
I have the issue where previously recorded videos in Gallery have jacked-up orientations, now that I've updated to 2.3.3.
[Nexus One General] gqkevyn:
Yeah before the Gingerbread update i wasn't having this problem. Now I find myself saying Hello twice. It is pretty annoying.
[Nexus One General] Lord_Buckington:
Ahh that explains a lot. I've experienced this a few times too. Very frustrating

[Nexus One General] imarkstr78:
I've been having minor issues with bluetooth connections.

The first time after upgrading I placed the phone on the Nexus One Dock, I couldn't play any audio via the 3.5mm stereo plug. I had to unpair and then repair to get it to play audio properly. The same thing happened with my Plantronics P590 bluetooth stereo headset. Had to unpair and repair it.

On another occasion, I received a call while listening to music on my headset. I answered the call, but it didn't come through on the headset. I had to pull my phone out of my pocket and talk via the phone. When the call was over, music playback resumed on my headset. Weird.
[Nexus One General] atlana:
maybe its apps related ?

mine is really smooth/fast responsive too (coming from rooted (fastboot), stock FRG83G). but I experienced 3 times over equally 3 days time that my keyboard (stock), starts to get funky, at first the "keyboard overlays/popups" for special characters/numbers when TAP-HOLDING a key isnt *showing* up, but it's STILL entering the key where it *should* be. and after a while after that, the entire screen keyboard is disappearing but STILL entering keys (hard to type if you dont know where to hit them). force-crash/phone-reboot usually does the trick.

Primarily i am using eBuddy and Gtalk for chatting. happens about 1-2 days into using the phone. and i am a massive chatter-typist ;) but i noticed that the keyboard (for pop-up and pop-down) takes considerable longer and longer to do so. and the CPU shows massive %-usage (measured with seePU++ ) before pop-up/pop-down after 1-2 days of heavy usage....buffer overflow mayhaps ?

EDIT: proximity sensor and GPS/accelerometers work fine. so do accepting/answering/making phone calls.

EDIT2: my fastboot root is retained in GRI40 from FRG83G
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
I am pretty sure I have this problem too! Where do we complain to Google so that they will fix it on their next update?
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
You make person number 3 who has seen this. My coworker has an N1 and it happened to him yesterday too.
[Nexus One General] Lord_Buckington:
+1 for me too. It's happened twice now.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
I'm comforted to know it isn't just my phone or something I am running.

At the same time I am also annoyed there appears to be a nasty bug with Gingerbread that wasn't caught in 6 months of Google testing... yet we've seen it with in 1 week of using GB :(
[Nexus One General] Putzy:
Yup - Just tested it. Getting the same problem. It's more of an inconvenience if I'm honest rather than a huge issue, but it is definitely 'there'.

Using stock btw, not rooted or unlocked bootloaded.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Being forced to reboot the phone every 2 days is pretty huge IMO... especially when my phone was up for 3-4 weeks at a time on Froyo with out reboot.

Every time it happens I am submitting the crash report. I hope you guys are doing the same :)
[Nexus One General] dsixda:
This black screen problem happens to me every day (until today..so far), and normally in the evening when my phone has been used for quite a while. I wonder if it is related to a memory leak? Tried killing some apps in memory but that didn't fix it. Had to reboot.
[Nexus One General] deenn:
Happened to me once using handcent and after that in every keyboard until reboot. As i stated twice in this thread already.
[Nexus One General] RrOoSsSsOo:
I feel lucky to have purchased the n1, always the latest firmware
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Not long after I posted that I wiped cache & Dalvik cache and I can't remember it doing it since.

Guess I'll call that a result.
[Nexus One General] tvrtim:
My trackball light still works for:

Red = email

Green = text

Blue = Facebook

White = Call
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
That's with an additional program though, not out of the box.
[Nexus One General] dsixda:
Forgot to mention that I wiped dalvik cache too, after the last issue ... and the black screen hasn't happened since!
[Nexus One General] dwg44:
EMail Client

Just got the OTA update. Nice but the email client is no better. No options for changing text size for messages or the ability to pinch/zoom emails so they are easier to read.
[Nexus One General] FLAC Vest:
So this might be a dumb question, but is it likely that we would get another updatebefore Ice Cream?
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Nothing major. We'll get some big fix updates I am sure, just like we did with Froyo.
[Nexus One General] bmszabo:
Similar problem here: after OTA GB Exchange account went lost, although I can re-install it, it looks all OK, it does NOT sync with my exchange mail, calendar.. Re-installing Exchange account does not help.

Anybody any ideas?

N1, unrooted, stock, OTA GB.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
I wiped dalvik when I first flashed Gingerbread :(

If it happens again though, I'll gladly give another dalvik wipe a try.
[Nexus One General] adamhlj:
There doesn't seem to be any bugs with wifi. It will automatically connect when a remembered wifi connection is in range if wifi is turned on. I always had issues with wifi connecting on froyo.
[Nexus One General] kikikaka:
I also got the black screen problem today.. I have to reboot.

I opened the log, it show sth like failed to allocate memory...
[Nexus One General] grimmjaw:
can anybody please tell me if the audio is improved in the video recording?
[Nexus One General] pobetiger:
battery life is not good

Updated on my Nexus One this afternoon.

1. It seems like battery life is not good...it drained 20% in 3 hours sitting in my pocket with occasional check for time. There might be a rouge app that's causing the drain...

Checked kernel log, also seeing a lot of wake lock-related failures. Not sure what's causing them. They look kinda like this:

msm_sleep(): msm_pm_wait_state failed, 11001

Quick google seems to suggest that it has to do with the modem and the Qualcomm chip.

2. It also seems like there's a lot of i2c errors on my N1, not sure if there's some kind of hardware failure on my unit or some hardware bug.

3. It is pretty fast comparing to Froyo.

4. New Copy & Paste is nice.

5. Color scheme is okay.

6. Charging initially is really slow...it even says SLOW mode in the log.

I have 11 MB free more than 2.2.2 in my internal memory. I was scared to have less...

[Nexus One General] ZeppeMan:
With Gingerbread I have higher Linpack scores then Froyo stock.

Stock Froyo ->

Linpack 35.5MFLOPS

Stock Gingerbread ->

Linpack 37.9MFLOPS

Overall, it's as fast a Froyo I think, a bit more responsive for me.

And ofc everything works :D
[Nexus One General] Zmydust:
Swype has some issues with the new copy and paste. Before you could double tap on a word(if you made a mistake) and swype would pull up a suggestion box of available words. Now it still pulls that but a "copy/cut" android copy and paste box pulls up over it making it non functional.

How's battery finally?
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
First impressions:

Notification bar is uglier than before, hate the small new icons. Not a good choice to have grey icons ond black background.

I.e. GMAIL notification icon is so small that you have to look twice in order to see what app notified you. I preferred the white background black icons.

It seems a little bit speedier, and you have about 6mb more storage which is nice.

Other minor tweaks are ok but nothing special (copy&paste, new keyboard is ok but i quickly reverted to HTC IME).

Relly funny that the rumours said: this will get a complete redesign. Yes, it got a slight redesign - but it got worse than before.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I find the new bar a million times better, but I am quite used to it.

Going from CM back to 2.2.2 for some stuff was horrible lol
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
Agreed!

10char
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Hmm don't you think the icons are too small? It take sometimes two looks to see which icon is shown...

And since my Nexus has an SLCD screen i'm not that happy with that black color trend too. ;)

[Nexus One General] OJ in Compton:
I did a complete wipe when moving to gingerbread and I haven't encountered this black screen bug except when I tried to flash an update.zip with a new battery, so I quickly restored a backup and it's been running fine since. My usage might be different to everyone getting the bug, so hopefully it isn't actually an issue with GRI40.
[Nexus One General] Smoje:
What do you think about the battery life? I think it's worse in 2.3.3 than 2.2.2, in a complete day, now it's 19%!!

I'm unistall some programs so maybe that's the problem (task killers and so on), opinions?
[Nexus One General] xanatos00:
my battery life seems better. I get the coveted 1% an hour at night with wifi on.

widgetlocker also causes audio to pop on lock and unlock, emailed the Dev and said fix is on the way.

I do miss being able to double tap a word to select it, it's a must for predictive keyboard users :-(

overall loving gri40
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
I never saw this issue, but I had wiped dalvik cache immediately after flashing GRI40.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
So don't use the stock mail, try K9 Mail.
[Nexus One General] dwg44:

[Nexus One General] filippogiad:
Does anybody noticed an issue with Auto Brightness? Sometimes when i turn the screen on the brightness is automatically set to maximum and it doesn't scale down even if i'm in a dark room.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
The screen only dims when you wake the phone.
[Nexus One General] FLAC Vest:
I get this problem as well; I just turn tthe display off and back on again and it's fixed
[Nexus One General] shabihsherjeel:
No. It means you have no internet connection. That doesnt mean you are not connected over wifi. After youre connected on wifi and you have "limited access"/(cant access the internet maybe dsl router down) then it goes grey...
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
It's not a problem, it's by design and has been that way since 2.2
[Nexus One General] filippogiad:
I think you did not undersand the problem! In 2.2 the auto brightness worked perfectly.

In 2.3.3 the auto brightness sets the brightness at the maximum level and it does not adjust automatically, it remains at the maximum level!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I do understand honest, that's how it was since 2.2

The phone will increase brightness at will, but will only decrease brightness when the screen is switched on/off... if you search you'll see it has been mentioned months ago :)
[Nexus One General] filippogiad:
i'm sorry but i've really never had this problem before 2.3.3
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Well that is odd then, have you always been stock? I suppose custom ROMs could have adjusted how it works.
[Nexus One General] filippogiad:
Yup i've always been stock. I don't like custom ROMs very much but maybe one day i'll try! ;)
[Nexus One General] k_myk:
Actually I did try to search about that "feature" with auto brightness and found nothing definite. Could you please enlighten me and say why is that by design? :confused:

[Nexus One General] atlana:
I agree, same with my Keyboard failing issues, got to the point of usage where the CPU spikes longer and longer before the keyboard pops up, until it crashes. looking into the crash-log reporting preview, it's an out-of-memory/memoryleak issue.

anyone else has the keyboard memoryleak issues ?
[Nexus One General] k_myk:
Thank you:)

I guess it's good that it's not broken, right? Too bad, it's pretty useless now:(
[Nexus One General] atlana:
I have that too, after a while using heavily the gingerbread stock keyboard. I suspect it happens when the keyboard' internal app is eating too much RAM due memory leak. I am monitoring this, when I cold-started my N1 the keyboard service was around 10 MB, a few hours of chatting later it's at 15 MB....
[Nexus One General] adamspir:
I have done a dalvic cache wipe but i still have the black screen problem! It is so amnoying!
[Nexus One General] HighTech216:
Thrilled. I love it. But.... maddddd props to CM7. I'm already missing the features.

CM7 is pretty damn solid. And it does everything. This OTA is just nice to have for reliability. I'm going to write a backup and reflash CM at some point. Thanks to everyone that helped get the update on here. This forum is the best!!!!

[Nexus One General] TAKEphONE:
Hi,

How do you wipe these caches ?

TIA
[Nexus One General] dsixda:
Yeah, for me the problem came back a few days after wiping dalvik-cache. :(
[Nexus One General] dsixda:
It's in the custom recovery menu. Look for Wipe Dalvik Cache. The first reboot afterwards will take about ten minutes, however (as it rebuilds the dalvik cache) .. but should boot normally afterwards.

I don't think this is the solution but it seemed to have delayed the issue.
[Nexus One General] hsrn:
There is major GPS bug in gingerbread for nexus one.

A Google employee promised a fix for today.

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=4e60b45c18d6665c&hl=en&start=40

Scroll to the bottom of that 2nd page
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
He promised a status update for today, not a software update.
[Nexus One General] adamspir:
I really cant find any way to defeat this "black screen" problem! I even stopped using launcher pro and went back to the stock launcher but the problem keeps coming! Only difference is that the phone will last 2 days with the stock launcher without coming across the problem, whereas with launcher pro every evening the problem would come up!

I am really frustrated with gingerbread! Does anyone know if this bug is reported to google to be fixed?

Update:

I even did a factory reset and wiped cache again, but the problem still occurs!!!
[Nexus One General] Jgobeil:
Really happy with my upgrade. The OS is more responsible and the battery life has improved substantially. My bugs are gone: WiFi start and digitizer accuracy.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Great review Shahpur. I really like your writing style and your site just got added to my list of sites I visit daily :)
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Interesting... I've not had any oddness with mine so far, good that they're on it though, a lot of stuff on their forums goes uncommented on.
[Nexus One General] adamspir:
Rusty! , did you encounter the black screen problem again after wiping your dalvik cache?

I am stock and I have cleared the cache in recovery even did a factory reset but the problem insists!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Don't think so.

I only remember seeing it a couple of times, and the launcher's shortcuts always reappeared after 5/10 secs anyway.
[Nexus One General] adamspir:
So this issue is a bug and not something to do with the update proccess! Hope it will get fixed in the next update!
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Another check in..

-Wiped Dalvik Cache, have not had the black screen problem since, but my launcher has crashed twice on me. Luckily it hasn't needed a reboot yet, the launcher restarts on its own. I'm surprised how buggy the launcher is. I don't remember it EVER crashing before, but this is at least the 6th time I have seen it since updating to GB.

-GPS has not given me any problems

-The static bug at the start of the phone call and the caller can't hear you happened to me yesterday. This has been the only time so far, but it did happen.
[Nexus One General] geemaan:
mine crashes too. It first gets sluggish then freezes for several seconds and finally crashes. It might be some of the widgets but I couldn't find which one. Probably it's a memory leak problem.
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Thanks a lot!

Hopefully my next article will be about the motorola xoom and android 3.0. I'm waiting for tmobile germany to release it...
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Yup, precisely what happens to mine.

What widgets are you running? Maybe we can find a commonality...

Here are all the widgets I run on mine:

-Weatherbug Pro

-Weathebug Radar

-Pure Calendar

-Switch Pro

-Facebook

And that's all.
[Nexus One General] adamspir:
I only have a stock calendar widget and a spotify widget. Nothing else, just shortcuts and the wp clock live wallpaper! The launcher seems to use more and more memory over time and google services as well.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Your launcher really never crashed before? Under eclaire mine crashed constantly! At least once an hour. The gingerbread launcher isn't as stable as froyo, but I've certainly seen worse.
[Nexus One General] BennyInc:
I have the frequent launcher crashes as well. On the report page, you can see that this is caused by an OutOfMemory Error.

But as for debugging it... well, that's up to Google :-/
[Nexus One General] jacindc:
Ditto on all of this.

(N1/AT&T, Stock)
[Nexus One General] mattpannella:
i know it isn't an excuse, and the stock launder should work

but why don't you guys just use launcherpro? you can set it up to be identical to the stock one if you want. it performs way better. and has way more options if you wanna tinker a bit

i don't know why you guys put up with what sounds like constant crashes when there's an easy workaround

i discovered LP and never looked back
[Nexus One General] shoryken:
I didn't seem to encounter any such thing, but now I am on to cm7 so it doesn't matter much now.
[Nexus One General] adamspir:
Because my black screen bug is even worse with launcher pro! LP freezes way more often in gingerbread!
[Nexus One General] kaziefii:
ADW works wonders on 2.3.3, or at least that has been my experience so far. Different people have different experiences.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
those using launcher pro, do you use the memory setting that shows current memory usage on your homescreen at all times? i'm curious for those who say its an out of memory issue, surely that number would sky rocket. please post results.

also how can google change something as solid as the froyo launcher to where it is now so unstable!!?? worked great before, what could they possibly have done or changed...optimizations?
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Well, my launcher crashed again and got the black screen. Had to reboot.

Confirmed, wiping Dalvik cache does not fix this problem.

Sigh... I wonder if there is a thread for this crappy launcher bug on the Google forums...
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Looks like the Gingerbread launcher is pretty unstable:

[Nexus One General] adamspir:
Isn't it though wierd that the black screen problem also occurs when using 3rd party launchers?
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
No. It is not a launcher problem, it happens with many programs. I think the problem is in the OS and not in any one app.
