seems like whenever i run an update.zip (superhero recent build is an instance) i get the same issues with each rom, i'm thinking when i do alt+w its not fully wiping the g1 and that theres another way for me to do it. mainly thinking this because some people are having paid apps issues where they have to run a command to fix permissions, etc. and i dont have to do that at all with any build so far...
thanks in advance and to the devs, keep up the good work, you guys seriously kick @$$.
a wipe does exactly that... wipe.
what about you spl and radio?
as far as i know i have the newest radio and spl, otherwise it just wouldnt boot up correct? for instance the main issue i have with the hero rom is that facebook photo sync causes crash in acore

Hey guys,
My wife is having a very strange problem with her G1 - I haven't seen anything like it before.
Basically, everything is working fine except for the actual Dialer. When she goes to make a call, it just sends her back to the home screen, and her signal disappears.
Any idea what could be causing this or have any of you experienced anything similar?
She's running Cyan 4.0.4 with the latest radio, if that's any help.
no theme correct?
reflash the rom then the radio.
this is to start as fresh as possible without wiping.
Yeah, no theme...
So you're saying re-flash the ROM and the radio, without wiping?
I would wipe just to make sure everything is correct and fresh.
supremeteam likes to wipe (especially other people's wives)
You will most likely end up wiping anyways but there is a chance that reflashing the rom then radio will fix the problem without loosing any information. If you're not worries about loosing the information then go ahead and wipe, flash rom, then flash radio.

Ssshhhhhh...Don't let the cat out the bag.
Factory reset from within the OS itself (not the recovery menu) appears to have sorted it.....! Thanks guys.

LOL.....................
Yeah just reflash. I had a lot of problems with cyanogens new rom. My phone kept rebooting, signal would go out, ect.
I'm serious. It's slow everything force closes and I figured now that cyanogen had his new build of Froyo....I could give the kang o rama a try. but everything is still force closing and I have no idea how to fix it and I'm about ready to just give up :/
What do I do?
Are you completely wiping everything before you install a rom?
Give yourself a wipe, or at least a cache partition wipe
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
if its slow then something is using a large amount of cpu power.
I just caught Flickie doing it (thanks to CPUStatusLED)....but it stopped before i got to uninstalling it.
Backup your apps, wipe everything data, ext, cache..then install a ROM.
My phone was freezing/rebooting 3-10 times a day before I did the above and now its quite stable.
EVERYTHING has been wiped. Dalvik, cache, Factory reset, everything I could do without doing anything to the SD card.
I'm seriously at a loss for words.
Currently on kang o rama's 2.2 cyanogen build A2 btw is what I'm trying to work with. Though it has been no different for other roms. I Mean it's so unresponsive and always force closes everything
2.1 works ok ?
2.2 doesn't you say? after all wipes and a clean install of Cyanogen and other ROMs? How about stock Froyo FRF91?
It may be a hardware error if the stock one doesn't work. So even if you got an unlocked phone, Google/HTC should replace it because it's hardware. If you're installing it wrong SOMEhow.. then that's another story.
EDIT: NVM believe I found it
I just went through this.
Just download the PASSIMG.ZIP from the latest Eclair build and put it on the root of your SD card. Go into bootloader and it will automatically pick it up.
In a minute you'll be at stock Eclair. By the time you can get into the Settings menu, you'll have the majority of FRF91 downloaded. Let it do its thing and probably within 5 minutes you'll be sitting pretty on a stock FRF91 Froyo build.

If you've used the Froyo App2SD function, then you might need to delete your .AndroidSecure folder on your SD card after a flash.
I never touched that folder and the last few times I flashed a ROM I was getting weird problems where I couldn't install things, it would hang, I would get FCs, etc. I deleted that folder, rebooted, and everything was cleared up for me.
...Of course you'll have to install those apps again.

Yea thats a good idea. The short time I've been on Android, it seems like A LOT of CRAP gets brought into new builds. Everytime I flash a new rom, the Market downloads all the crap from before. lol.
While I can see it as being a nice feature, it can get troublesome. When my replacement Nexus comes tomorrow, I'm going to backup my APK files and format my SD card. Start completely from scratch on Froyo 2.2
Usually I have NO problem hunting for things myself...but I DO NOT AT ALL...see this "Passimg" in that thread.
ANYWAYS I'm gonna try reflashing the radio to see if that helps
This is why I just use stock stuff, I want my phone to just work

And you're sure your N1 isn't defective?
Other then the occasional data connection failure...yea Eclair worked perfectly.
And sriously...guys I need the effing stock rom image I wanna try something else BUT I don't have it.
Oh yea. AND NOW I'm trying to reinstall the apps but it says out of space...and I can clearly see I have 111 mbs of internal storage. I think it's installing it on the SD card. IDK HOW TO MAKE IT STOP and I'm so frustrated I'm about ready to dump my n1. I've been screwing with this forever and I was excited. The first build of Cyanogen and nothing works...

Wipe, install rom, reboot and hold volume down to load the bootloader, power off in bootloade, pull battery, remove microsd, replace battery, boot and set it up. See what happens.
you might just have a faulty hardware (bad ram or something)

I'm betting it has something to do with data saved on the sd. . .
the only thing I have on my phone is Fresh 3.4.01 nothing else and it reboots at will, like a 50% boot, ie: screen remains and phone appears to reboot, but its not liek when you turn it on........seems to be happening more and more...
If I do a factory restore will I lose all my contacts ??
what do you guys think ? thanks
Did u do a complete wipe before u flashed the rom??? sounds like u didnt....
You can export your contacts to your SD card for a hard copy, and your contacts are synced with your Google account. Google.com/contacts.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Login to your Google account and see if your contacts are backed up. If not do what someone said and export to your card. Wipe and see if you still have an issue if so try a different rom.
thanks for the replys
I bought the phone new,had the last fresh on it, was only 4-5 weeks ago ?
So i`m using it for a few days works great right, then i get into the phone and see what its running,and google it and see there`s an update available, so i contacted the guy i bought it from and he says no problem do the update if you want...
So i downloaded the file,plugged in my phone to the computer put the file where it told me to, rebooted phone pressing the volume down was it ? and followed the instructions....
So basically it did an update WITHOUT wiping the phone..... truthfully i did`nt have it long enough to know if it was rebooting before i did the update so i`m not sure if its the phone or the software...
These phone are so darn cool i love it to no end, and just want it to work 110% like the rest of yours.
I am an IT consultant and could use a good remote desktop app as well, any recommendations ? as all the ones I have downloaded so far have asked for full access to my phones every move ! whats up with that ??!!!
hey thanks in advance all here you guys rock

If someone else rooted your phone there are a few things you need to do. You need to make sure you have Amon_ra recovery installed and you need to to a nand backup with Amon_ra because it backs up the wimax keys. You also need to do a full wipe when installing a new rom wipe cash and dalvik I do it two times. Than install the new rom, keep in mind you will loose everything and always do a nand backup before installing the new rom. Now if your going from a 3.1 to a 3.2 rom update a wipe is not always needed but a nand backup is incase you need to go back. Hope this helps.
If you know how to root or are capable of following instructions to the end, I say unroot and try to use it like that. If the problem persists, take it in for service. My phone started rebooting randomly because the processor was overheating. I troubleshooted by replacing the battery, changing ROM, unroot, take it in. The phone got to the point where any data intensive app would make it turn off (maps, navigation, YouTube).
might wanna check out this thread. hope this helps

Froyo on my wife's phone runs like crap. This is the official update from minikies and it's applied to both my phone and her phone. We did them back to back. On my phone, I did the update and tossed it on the nightstand. On her phone, we did the update and rather than wait for things to "settle out", she started surfing the web, etc, immediately.
Any thoughts?
just do a reset....
As in, what, a reboot? It's been rebooted quite a bit.
Each phone may run different as using it after an update should not affect speed at all. My phone ran butter smooth with JI6 while others reported lag. You may want to wipe all the user data and cache data through the phone's recovery. To access recovery:
Shut down phone.
Hold both volume buttons along with the power button.
When the Vibrant screen comes up release the power button but hold onto the volume buttons.
A blue menu comes up and use the volume buttons to scroll and power button to select.
Keep in mind this will erase all her data and may or may not work.
Try to erase the cache first though(also through recovery). It won't erase the user data but refreshes the phone again. Start up may take a while though.
yeah I had done the cache and the other data wipe. I was seriously hoping to avoid wiping the user data because she's purchased textbooks from third party appstores and I'm not sure if they will live.
So the next question - If we move these apps to the memory card (the textbooks) and then tell the phone to nuke the user data, they will survive the experience or does wiping it also wipe the SD?

There's never a guarantee that no data will ever be lost. To be safe and sure, backup to a computer or backup everything on your external Sdcard and remove it before doing anything.
Keep in mind that RFS(Sammy's file system) will slow down over time and is only fixed in android 2.2.1 (mostly). Your best bet would be to flash a new custom rom with ext4 or just a voodoo kernel but stay stock.
SO FUNNY YOU MENTION THAT. As of 2.2 (the official froyo flash from tmo), Clockwork doesn't install so consequently I can't make voodoo go. It's the 3E bootloader. Also I've had no luck with pushing the 3E fix whomever it was discovered. It simply doesn't take. If there's a workaround, I'm all ears. My first thought was "oh just remount it as RW" and I'm clearly missing something.
Ideas on making voodoo go? That was my low hanging fruit I was trying for initially.

Want to install a custom rom. Drop back to 2.1 then flash a custom rom.
Maybe there's something I'm missing here, but if clockwork doesn't work on the phone, how shall I install a different rom - even an older one?
Moot point - I figured out how to get the recovery binary moved to /system/bin on my phone, but the goal was to fix the existing froyo rather than flash a custom rom. If there was a way to drop back to 2.1, I would drop back to 2.1 and then have the tmo official update it. So let me propose something...
Given that I now have 3e recovery doing The Right Thing, I would guess I need to install clockwork, grab the 2.2 Tmobile UKVA6 ROM, then use clockwork to flash that in place. Since I'm flashing from 2.2 to 2.2 and not changing anything, will her user data live through the experience or do these flashes reset the partition with her apps on it?
I Tryed to put a different Android Rom on my phone but couldn't do it so I put my old Rom back on . But now most of my apps aren't working just keeps saying unexpected error.
Can anyone help me pls
Regards

your post is incredibly void of details. please start with some basics (like what rom, what apps, etc.) take the guess work out of trying to help you.
often, reflashing the rom can help just to begin....

Well considering you expect us to use our physic powers (which nobody has) Ill try and guess your problem.
It sounds like you didnt properly install your new rom. When you install a new rom you need to a clean install to a extent, Either a FULL clean install, meaning you task29 (wipe) your nand and start over or you wipe data/factory reset and clean caches like dalvik cache in the advanced menu or CWM.
You will also need to full format your SD card with Panasonic SDFomatter (FULL>Overwite and size adjustment).
You dont need to lose any data like apps/games as you can back them up with Titanium Backup.
You need to do this otherwise data gets carried over to next installation which can cause issues.
If you want a more precise answer you need to at least give us information we can work on like..
SD or NAND???
Specific roms/builds???
Apps that dont work???
Did you do clean installs???
