Well, thats it, I actually can't pick up my phone when I get a call. I can push the green pick up button as many times as I want, but it wont respond, and I end up having to call people back. Anyone else with this issue? (phone info in sig)
I am only going to take a guess and say that you have a lot of programs that run in the background.
Maybe try not using auto rotate.
I agree with Neobbs although when I first read the subject, I thought maybe you needed to work out more....
Same problem here. I can have the phone in my hands looking at it straight up when the phone rings and the phone goes black for about 5 seconds (or about 2 rings) and then the caller id comes up and I start hitting the call/talk button to answer. It goes to VM eventually and me hitting the green button ends up bringing up the recent call list. Auto rotate is disabled, but I do have weatherbug, open home, caller lookup and IM running in the background. Oh... and I have the transistions/animations enabled. That's all i can think of. I'll try removing the caller lookup app to see if it eliminates the problem.

he means.. why would you not root your G1???
I think it's a good, fair and valid question.
Do you have installed a customer ring tone ? if yes, choose original ring tone and try again.
I had the same problem when I started using my phone. I dunno what changed but the prob. has disappeared or I got used to hold the pickup button down for a bit longer automatically. I got the feeling that this helped the issue.
My phone is RC33 not rooted... and to answer you question: I've tried but I'm still fighting with my XP to accept the USB driver.
Guess again!

mine does the same randomly. Straight after a factory reset.
nothing installed, and my G1 is not rooted (yet).
has anyone found a solution for this problem?
Using RC33 with weatherbug running in the background, but it occurs with it installed and without it installed
I swear, the G1 must be the worst phone ive ever used
can't wait for the touch pro 2 now...
google can't release polished software if their lives depended on it.. selling a beta phone is just bs

Yep, must be terrible if about 4 or 5 people have this problem out of the thousands who have bought it....
I've never had any of these problems, but im guessing they're (probably) firmware related.

most probably just call back and arent bothered to find out how to fix it on xda
anyways, when you say firmware related, what did you mean?
I installed JF 1.42, and before that, his earlier versions, and way before that my phone started out with RC18, which I then rooted. Would it be linked to that? I've wiped my phone like a dozen times, but the problem is reoccurring perhaps once or twice a day, out of about 30 phone calls a day
additionally, although this may be linked to t-mobiles ****ty service, have you guys noticed a large increase in dropped calls?
I use my phone in both austin tx and houston, and in both locations, about every 10 calls is dropped, I dont know if its just the horrible service they have, or when I move from a location with 3g to edge.
With the new radio, the dropped calls have reduced in number, but still occur randomly
Also, one more thing, and a little off topic, but this has been bothering me,
Is there anyone to get a SMS application that allows me to type using a numpad or something similar on the screen? or at least, have spell correct, cause chompsms' keyboard is way too small to use one handed and still have legible messages, unlike the iphone where the errors would be auto corrected

I'm in austin, tx too and I also get the black screen of death almost every time I get an incomming call so maybe it is a location based thing? My g1 is rooted and I have over 70 apps installed and I'm not about to uninstall them 1 by 1 to see which one could be causing it. In the past, rings extended was said to be the one causing the problem but I don't have that installed.
Also, there have been enough requests for t9 and auto correct with chomp, I'm sure it will be in the upcomming updates
Im running Haykuro now and haven't had a single incident so far. Also, I have 73 (yes, seventy-three) MB of free system memory as I moved pretty much EVERYTHING to the SD card. In return, my phone is unable to boot without my SD card... which is a bit strange.
Hey,
I've got the HD2 running extremely smoothly with the NexusHD2-Gingerbread v2.2 build.
Since moving to android and trying out WP7 I have been experiencing an issue where after a whole day of running perfectly I will turn the screen on to find everything is washed in white - it's like the screen turns greyscale but in white so everything is still visible and works but in white.
i don't seem to be able to find this problem anywhere else but it has happened with all the android nand roms and the WP7 rom - a soft reset fixes the issue. I'm currently using radio Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14 and have switched around but haven't found one that fixes the problem...
Any thoughts on what could be causing the problem??
Thanks, Luke.
I have the same problem sometimes. Will be glad if someone can explain!
Ive also experienced this, disappears after reboot or sometimes if i turn the screen on-off a couple of times, kinda weird.
Glad to see others are having this problem - seems to be so rare but I cannot find a solution. Would be interested to see if it still occurs now with standard wm6.5.
Anyone else experiencing this or have some idea of a fix?
i too have this problem.many times screen just go off like greyscale.can anyone help?
One more with the same problem...
Never had it with my currentrom (Hyperdroid) until I've read this thread.
Bump for wisdom.
Are you morons really that stupid
Get the screen out of the sun and away from hot surfaces you dumb bastards and it wont happen, it isn't a nand but a screen issue.
With stupidity like that you will be admins of XDA in no time

Erm what the f*ck? No need for that. Any actually, it's not a screen issue, it's an issue in earlier ROM's (well from what I've experienced). Like flash Cotulla's Desire ROM and it happens a lot. I presume you don't really like XDA due to your username? Banned maybe? Why would you even bother making a new account and just trollin'? That's sad, lol.
I only had it when the first batch of ROM's came out. Never withing the past month and a half.
It's like the screen goes negative.
But yeah, there isn't a clear fix for it AFAIK, you should back-up everything on your ROM and try an up-to-date ROM and see if it's still happening. I doubt it.
having the same problem as well
usually happens after i wake up, so during its idle time which is kinda strange
i also noticed it started happening after i installed cracked widget locker, any of you using that?
It happenes to my phone quite regulary but only running android roms, i think around september 2010 it happened the first time. I suspeced my phone, but even after getting a new hd2 it happens sometimes. It usually just happens randomly, not after specific actions. Sometimes it stays only for some minutes and sometimes it can be only fixed with a reboot.
I'd really like to know when this bug will be fixed.
I was having exacly the same issues with my old build. But since im using CoreDroid this problem has dissappeard.
+1 I've only experience this twice, and not since December, but I found it weird both times. I think both times were during a phone-call. A reset worked.

Wow...another keyboard hero....you are so brave typing that, we are all in awe of how awesome and manly and strong and tough you are!!
ANYWAY......STFU...it's not a screen problem.
I too have this problem, and it is my 2nd HD2 and happens VERY rarely, but does happen and has happend on both of them.
OH, and Mr Tough Guy....I live in the UK...VERY rarely get warm weather over here, so it AINT the sun.
You, Sir = FAIL.

Same here happens once or twice a month no big deal though

I'm currently running imilka's RAM Desire HD v2.0 since a month or so, the pale screen appears sometimes up to 2-3 times on one day and then not for several days. A reboot allways fixes it, sometimes it fixes itself after some minutes.
But i really find it annoying.
This happened to me in most desire/desire hd sense builds.
Now, I use the official hd2 MIUI and gingerbread seems to solve the issue.
hey guys, I´ve been having some strange behavior on my M2 lately, everything was normal till last week but now the phone started registering random inputs on all over the screen... its like I am touching the screen madly... I´ve already tried flashing the retail brazil SBF and everything still the same... I can´t even answer the phone straight!!!
any ideas? maybe my digitizer has gone crazy...
Take a look at this vid. It's mine. It is happening when i'm scrolling fast. I think I will send it to a service.
I get this when my phone is on the lockscreen connected to my pc.

this happened to me a few times before. once was when i typed a really long email using my keyboard. when i shut the qwerty it started behaving crazy. a few other times was also after i used the keyboard.
then i realized something in common. the problem only occurred when i had 'words' running in the background. i uninstalled 'words' and i have never had the problem since
perhaps u have a really buggy software. try uninstalling one of ur buggy softwares and u would be grand.
if u cant locate the buggy software, turn off the screen (short press of power button), turn it on again, and unlock, and things should be back to normal
well... it look like I gonna have to send it to service too... I´ve already wiped it clean... I´ve done a clean flash of the brazil retail SBF and everything is the same... random issues all over... bad luck right?
thanks for the support guys!
I have not experienced this problem...maybe because I'm running stock ROM?

I have been running stock everything since I got the phone last year. I even was patient and did the OTA for gingerbread. I have had no problems at all, but that changed this morning, and I hope someone here can help me out.
I was using my phone normally, checking mail, texts, games between work and what have you, when suddenly while texting in the stock text app, with the stock multitouch keyboard, the key board froze on the screen. I tried to back out, close the keyboard, go back to my message, but it wasn't having it. Then I tried to go home - the keyboard stayed on the bottom half of the screen (portrait mode) and the top half filled with what would have been the bottom half of the screen. Couldn't touch anything. Hit home again, I got the display of my seven pages, but when I touched one the keyboard stayed and did the same thing to each page. Nothing on the screen worked. Couldn't access settings, menu, what have you. I tried rebooting (thankfully I could touch the power off menu.) Upon restart, everything seemed normal, but when I went back into messaging, the exact same thing happened. I decided then to play around a bit. This happens in landscape mode as well, except upon switching to portrait, half the keyboard just gets cut off and the other half of the screen just goes to black. Sometimes I can get the settings screen to pop up, and if I change the keyboard to Swype, and THEN reboot, everything will be back to normal. Using swype for everything does work, so that's a temp fix. This happened with the stock keyboard in everything I tried -gmail, talk, texting, G+, Facebook, etc....
I could not find anything pertaining to this in the DX forums, so please if any one has any ideas let me know. Thanks a lot!
I tinkered with it a bit when I got home, but could get nothing to work still.
Please, anyone have any idea what's going on?!
This happened to me while on apex rc2 that used the gb kernal... since I have flashed cm7 I haven't had any problems with it... installed better keyboard, so I'm using that now

Had the same problem after upgrading to GingerBread. Ended up reflashing and now after about a week, haven't had the keyboard problem again, but GB is def not as stable with lots of various little bugs and anomolies. My keyboard problem after taking the battery out and restarting it. Actually, several things changed after removing the battery a few days after upgrading to GB??? It was like it needed a "reboot" for all the new features in GB to replace the old.
I seriously can't believe it's this unstable after all this time : (
I will try and install a different keyboard first, before flashing. I think if I do flash, I'm gonna go with a rooted version and start cooking up some roms. It's unacceptable to have the "official" phone to be so much worse.

Hi guys,,
I have an i9505 with RRv5.7.3 flashed and a strange thing seems to be happening....
Whenever I do a clean install of RR and install my apps everything runs GREAT, Its nice and snappy and everything just "works"....
Then about 3 days after install, and doing nothing but general usage, it starts to play up all sorts of funny, from different apps randomly crashing or acting really buggy to random reboots.....
This happens with both RR v5.7.1 and RR v5.7.3,, I was going to try the latest RR but I have a feeling its going to be the same issue.
Can anyone help me with this??
Thanks in advance

You can read through the Resurrection Remix thread and you will get the answer to your question. To the "Has anyone experienced an issue like this?" question I mean.

Yeah, that's what I expected. So it must be something unique to you. In other words, it could be something you've done or are doing that causes this. Maybe an app.
The fact remains that ROMs usually don't work perfectly fine for a few days then simply start to go crazy. Something must have triggered it.

Yeah, thats what gets me though... I do a fresh install and install my apps all within a day, and it runs fine, then a few days later it starts... little things at first like keyboard popping up then down then back up again, but I can live with things like that but after a week or two and not installing anything just general usage it gets worse and worse until the point I can't even browse the web or I can be on a call then the "phone" app crashes and then I go to make another call then it will reboot on me....
Maybe it could be a hardware problem? The phones been very looked after though but you never know.
I had a similar problem with a Linux machine I was building... It would run great, then after a while it would do funny things I couldn't wrap my head around, then next day would be fine then bad again....
It turned out that certain system files and some required packages had been installed onto bad sectors on the HDD.....
