Hey all, working on a friends G1 (Yeaaa mine isnt the messed up one heh) anyways its odd.. sometimes it locks up. I mean I have even flashed restored it fresh etc. Sometimes when you plug the charger in it doesnt even act like anything happened. Sometimes need to take battery out and put back in a few times to get it to respond etc.
Now I am wondering, since right now it turns on fine etc.. could this be some sorta software botch up or is it hardware? Anyone else see issues like this where the G1 is unstable? Its not been dropped or water as well. Just trying to see notes before I tell him it has to be sent off. Thanks.

I'd restore to stock and see if it continues. If so, warranty exchange it.
Use the searc buttton.
I agree with GenericNode, just tell him to send it back. They will replace it for 10 dollars (Shipping charge). It's not worth the long term risks.
Question is, how long is the warrenty for? I dont know if it is or not, also I did restore to stock, never had this one modded.
und max, was ist mit dir? Du bist neu hier und nichts konstruktive zu sagen? Auch es ist "Search" geschrieben nicht "Searc" und ich kann hier suchen aber mein probleme ist was anderes. Ok?

Hello/Moin,
I have an Wazard with a bad akku. I only use the Wizard for testing. The problem is, that I have made an firmware update with the bad akku. In the middle of the updating-prozess the akku was empty. Now I have an wizard, with ist starting the three color screen in an endless modus.
I have a laboratory power pack. I can set the voltage an the current. The WIZARD has six pins for akku. Which voltage has to be attached to which pin?

The same Text on german: Hallo, ich habe meinen Wizard zerschossen. Beim wechseln der Firmware hat der Akku aufgegeben. Jtzt startet er immer wider diesen drei Farben screen. Wie kann ich den Wizard direkt an einem Netzteil betreiben? Welche Spannung muss an welchen Pins anliegen?
hi,
the voltage you'll need is 3.7 volts. And if you face the pda from the back, the upper pin is the positive and the last pin is the negative, so you don't need the pins between the first and the last.
I've also found a dead battery fix on the net. I'm with the same battery issue, but the fix won't help. Maybe it works for you?
There are two options, the first one can be found here: http://asktheadmin.wordpress.com/2007/06/20/htc-wizardcingular-8125-dead-battery-fix-errr-jumpstart-pt-1/
And the second option if you cant find a second battery: http://asktheadmin.wordpress.com/2007/06/22/htc-wizardcingular-8125-dead-battery-fix-errr-jumpstart-pt-2/
Oh, and if you know other ways to fix my pda, could you tell me how?
Good luck!

Once my computer just up and turned off in the middle of a flash. After this it would only go into bootloader mode (RGB screen.) Good thing I ripped my original ROM with WST (Wizard Service Tool), as my piddly lil carrier doesn't have a official rom that I've found.
In my experience, if you can get bootloader and it says "USB" in the bottom left when connected, you can flash your original rom (or part of) to your phone with the no id version of RUU.
Although I haven't experienced the dead battery issue, I don't think the RGB would load in that case. However, pinouts.ru is the shiznit. Happy hunting.
Im kinda unsure what your problem is
Is it you cant access the boot loader to flash a new rom??
Or is it you dont have a battery??
Did ya try booting while holding the camera button with the stylus pressing the reset button?
also you can get a new battery for $10 at
http://www.batteries.com/productprofile.asp?appid=394544
the wizard repair manual might help too
hopefully i helped somewhat lol
@ SlimDan22: None of your 2 options.. His problem is that he flashed his rom and in the middle of the flashing process, his PDA turned off. Because he has a dead/bad bettery. So the only thing he has to do is charge his battery with the wallcharger to 100% (from 0% to 100% it takes 4 hours according to the ser vice manual). Then connect it to the pc and get the bootloader in USB mode. You can do that by holding the camera button and press the reset button with the stylus. Hold the camera button until the device restarts, then follow the on-screen steps (just press the send key, the green button)
Then the device is in USB mode and you can flash your PDA again
I've got nearly the same problem (exept the reboot in the middle of the flash process) so i've got to fix my battery issue.
This is what I'm doing now:
I'm testing my PDA with the htc battery diagnostic tool "PowerDetect". I've attached the tool if you want to use it
I also found the service manual at: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Docs_Tutorials/Wizard_Service_Manual.pdf.
I've put back the original Rom temporary now (WM5, not WM6) maybe that was the problem but my battery issue started before I upgraded my PDA to the newest TNT software.
My prevous software was TNT 5.0, that's where the problem started (after a use of a couple of months..)
I hope I can fix my phone, because I've no warrenty anymore. It's second hand and i teard off the warrenty label..
We'll see if it works..
I've heard about many issues with the wizard but this is the most annoying one until now
Succes fixing your phone
Jordy
My problem is nearly solved
After some tests with multimeter and PowerDetect I found out that it was a bad battery problem. There were many options:
1. bad battery
2. corrupted chip on mainboard
3. bad contacts (oxidation on pins)
4. software bug
So it was #1, I don't need help anymore..
The website for a new battery wich SlimDan22 linked, was very cheap but only ships in UK and I'm living in the netherlands but I found a good website if you're living here: http://shop.strato.com/epages/61396109.sf/secoKSHUJAaOLc/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61396109/Products/PDA16010
It has many models of batteries but only ships in the netherlands so..

PS. @snowyrain: would you tell me if it worked for you by just connect a powerpack to the pins? maybe i'll do that instead of buying a new battery..
Love hero to bits except for one thing- sometimes, there will be a notification claiming that the SD card has been unmounted. Sometimes it says this on boot, occasionally at just random times. Obv solution is to open the case, pull out the card and pop it back in, which always works BUT is a little annoying.
Is this happening to anyone else? Any possible causes to look out for?
Never happened to me... maybe a faulty SD card?
I got the same problem with the SDHC-cards i tried.
The HTC service wrote me:
"Sehr geehrter HTC Kunde,
das Geraet HTC Hero muss die Micro SDHC Speicherkarten ganz normal ohne Kapazitaetsbeschraenkung erkennen koennen, aber HTC empfelt die Transcend oder SanDisk Speicherkarten zu benutzen, dann muss es auch klappen.
Bei HTC sind keine Probleme bekannt, dass wegen Betriebssytem werden die Speicherkarten nicht funktionieren."
In english ... try cards from Transcend or SanDisk.
Since i use the stock SD-card delivered with my hero i had no problems and never thought to buy another card. (Im not interested to spend more money when it is not nessecary.)
But you can try it with the card mentioned above if you want. Please tell me your experience.
I'm just using the standard 2GB Sandisk which came with the phone. No idea what's the cause then, but its not happening often by any means. I've got a couple of other SD's lying around which i'll try if it happens much in the future, i guess. thanks though!
This just happened to me. It is an 8GB transcend Card. I brought my phone out of sleep and as I was flicking past the music player I noticed it claimed there was no SD card mounted, so I went to mount settings and it says there is no valid partition and only gives the option of formatting the card!
I rebooted... and thankfully all was fixed, but it certainly startled me.
once it happened to me also. What I did was remove sd card and put it back, like you did. I'm using 8gb a-data card
Not the same issue, and sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, but I've been having issues with the new SD card i got on ebay. It's unbranded.
When I try and add a lot of music, there seem to be a lot of errors when I disconnect from my pc, and it constantly says preparing sd card. When I restart the phone, it says I need to reformat the card. It is also a bit temperamental when dragging and dropping folders across.
Is this the result of a dodgy card, or common for 8gb class 6 sd cards?
Hi guys,
I was wondering if my phone is defect or not! Because when I charge my phone and use it, after a while it gets warm and at some point hangs. I then have to manually reboot it (holding powerbutton, even once had to pull the battery out) and then most of the time it hangs A. on the charging screen or B. on the first screen when you boot the phone. When you have finally booted the phone, it will last for a max of 2 minutes before freezing again. If you pull the back cover of and unplug the charger and let it cool down it's ok again! So I guess it is broken? Can one of you guys please try to replicate it? Btw The phone is not really hot i think, you can still hold it fine. Any help/suggestions/whatever would be appeciated Btw I'm Dutch so excuse my bad english
Sounds like a hardware defect to me. If your phone isn't more than two weeks old you should ask for a replacement.
Your english is not that bad at all, at least from another non-native speaker's point of view
It is more than two weeks old and I already sent it once for repair because it froze ect I just tried to update to froyo (trough KIES) but it said it worked but the phone still says that it's 2.1! I don't get it!
Froyo isn't officially released yet.
Everyone here is using a leaked beta/pre-release version (which I highly recommend AGAINST doing)
Myabe froyo beta broke it

please follow the forum rules and post in english only.
a safe way to determine, whether this actually is a software or hardware related issue, is to change the entire software.
therefor, you could format your sd card, perform a task 29, flash another rom and radio and see if it still happens. also, you must only flash your device, when the battery is fully charged, or you might throw off the calibration.
