i and my wife have G1's. i got mine first, april of 2009, and is the bronze model. i got hers from a friend about a month ago. i do not know when hers was originally purshased. hers is a G1 black.
ok, around july of 2009 i rooted mine and have used umpteen different versions of cyan roms and others. i have always has crappy signal strength with t-mockery here. at home i'm lucky to have any signal and at most 2 bars for a short period of time. after i got hers and rooted it, i noticed she and i can be sitting side by side, and her have 2-4 bars, me with none. we have the same rom, radio, spl, recovery, etc. does anyone know of certain G1's just simply having crappy reception? is this a specific hardware issue meaning i need to replace a specific part?
also, if my phone goes into sleep mode or if i put it into sleep mode with the red buton, and immediately re-wake it, the screen is dark. i have to put it to sleep again and re-wake it for it to be bright. this is regardless what brightness level i have my phone set to. hers does not EVER do that. i cant really define weather it is actual brightness or screen contrast that is the issue, but it is darker.
anyone familiar with these issues with specific G1's? i have googled and searched xda with every serch phrase i can think of and have not found one article or post with similar circumstances.
thank you for any assistance you guys may be able to provide.

First update your recovery to the latest Amon_RA recovery for g1, (more features and much more stable) then go and find the latest radio for the g1 (2.22.23.02). Just flash it, you don't have to worry about changing SPL's.

The radio should give you a boost in signal. I went from 1-2 bars of 3G to 3-4 bars of 3G.
If you find the time, make a complete backup of your apps and settings using titanium backup, do a complete wipe and repair ext, then go to the latest Super D. I doubt Cyanogen is going to update is ROMs because now the Nexus One's development is going full speed.
Now lets see of the g1 has any more problems. Do the same things your wife's g1 because she should see a huge improvement too.
LOL. funny. i just did the amon ra and latest radio update, and just before turning off my browser, i went back to this thread and reloaded to see your post. too funny.
i cant tell any gains in signal strength with this latest radio. only time will tell i guess. i'll give it a few days before posting any opinions on the radio.
however, the amon ra is awesome. so much better!!! i'm not familiar with any of it's features yet other than the nandroid backup, wich was present in the cyan version. i do like that i can choose with backup to revert to now!
i saw something about titanium and bart in another thread. i will familiarize myself with them tomorrow.
have you ever heard of this screen dark coming out of sleep thing? that has pestered the life out of me since i got this phone. it was the first thing i noticed different about hers. i have tried a bluezillion times to get her to duplicate this and cant. it's crazy.
i see youre in columbus ga. awesome. i spent some time in ft.benning what seems like a thousand years ago.
thanks for your quick response!

His Twitter feed says he's about to release a 4.4 version soon. If you're having issues with performance/stability, it makes sense to use the most conservative, functional ROM you can find.
well, i have now installed cyan 5.0.7. hella faster!!! this is by far the fastest and most reliable ROM i have installed!!! battery drain sucks, but i can deal with that for now. the radio mentioned above did help signal strength some, but not a lot. i have more bars where i used to have just a few, and here at home i get signal more often, but it's still not great.
the screen thing still happens. i cant figure it out. it has done this since the day i got the phone. i just thought it was a g1/htc/android thing. i didnt realize that all of the other g1's did not do this until i got my wife's phone. i still cant find anything similar reported anywhere. i have googled every term i can think of. i dont know if it's a programming issue, hardware issue, or an issue specific to a few phones produced in a certain lot. hell, i may be the only one in the world with this problem!!!!
i have come up with a simple solution though. my wife never uses the physical keyboard. it's "too hard to type on" she says. so, i am now looking for an htc touch for her, then i by default, get her g1. LOL.
never-the-less, if anyone has ever heard of this type of screen darkening issue, please post something. it's a pain in the butt.
I have flashed about every ROM from this site and all versions. Pre Network Range Extender I had no real issue with signal except my lead bunker of a house and elevators. Since then I have tried all the Eris Radios from 1.22-4.12 and can't get much past 2 bars in most areas. Sure I know that calculating signal strength and representing it on a strength bar is hard but I am on calls and could be out in the wide open and next to a tower and have to find one spot to stand and get a call to go through.
I have gone from 2.1 root to 1.5 downgrade and re-rooted and still no luck. I don't know what else to do to try to improve my signal.
I have come to the conclusion that maybe I have flashed too much and damage the radio possibly??? More a question than a statement.
After upgrading your radio, did you do a *228 op 2? I dont think its possible but I am not a dev. I have flashed over 300 times and almost every ROM and I have only flashed a few radios (wont do that anymore though) and not had this issue. So that is why I said its prob not that. Maybe its hw related?
Yeah every time I flash a new ROM if it is possible I *228 op 2 and 1.
Hope it isn't a Hardware issue that will suck ass if so....No more luck getting the 1.5 Eris's.
After going to 2.1 mine started showing a much lower signal strength. I flashed a Sprint 2.42.01.04.27 baseband rom but it didn't seem to help much.
I heard somewhere that maybe the method it uses to calculate the bars changed, what we'd need is two phones side by side that were getting vastly different bar ratings. Then we could see what numeric signal strength they had and compare.
Stop looking at the bars for your signal strength. Go into About Phone, and look for an option that says Signal Strength. The LOWER number in the db level, the BETTER your signal is.
Stop using ' the bars' as your
Meter.

Not using the bars as my guide to signal I am using the fact that I can't make a phone call to people or when I get one that I have to stand in one place so I don't loose it. I am fully aware that the calcs for signal strength isn't the greatest. I just wanted to know if it is possible that you can flash your phone to the point that it won't work?

Well... I don't know what the radio uses to store it's radio image, but guessing that it's flash memory, all flash memory does wear out after a while, but you could use that piece of flash memory every day for like 5 years before experiencing ANY ill effects, though if the flash memory is of not-so-good quality, that number may be less. Still, it's unlikely you flashed your radio that much. Plus, the flash memory degrading would cause a problem of files being corrupted or deleted. That would make the radio inoperable, rather than having it degrade in quality. I seriously doubt that you flashing radios degraded it, though you could check that the antenna's firmly in the phone (DO NOT PULL IT OUT OR ATTEMPT TO PEEL IT UP!) Just a forewarning.
If all else fails, hold it differently!
CPCookieMan
call verzion and ***** em out..hopefully they'll give you a new phone or a discount on an upgrade...lol
Thanks CPCookieman I really don't like to even flash the radio if possible just for the fact that it is a good instabricker process if something goes wrong. I have probably flashed a radio 5 time with this phone mostly just ROM swapping. I still am convinced that this stupid Range extender I had to buy to get any signal in my house hasn't some how Ef'd up my phone. I works awesome on it but no were else and the issue didn't start until shortly after I got it.
The damn thing sucks so bad I can't upload and talk at the same time or you will hear every other thing I say. How should I approach Big Red with a rooted phone and getting real support?
same problem described in these other threads, haven't found a real solution yet. My music skips every time the phone loses signal or switches signal, has been happening to me specifically since i left froyo.
anyone know a fix? it's not the biggest deal but it gets really annoying after awhile, and doesn't seem like a problem we should be having.
i'm use poweramp and i'm on cm9 but it's happened to me on every rom since i upgraded from acs1.2

Are you talking about streaming or playing from your sd card? If you are streaming then nothing is going to fix that. Streaming means you are downloading the music as it is playing so if you lose signal you lose music. You would need to find some streaming music player that would cache a significant amount of music ahead so it had something to play for a few seconds if you lose signal. If it is from your sd card, it may need reformatting or get a faster sd card.
I have this problem too.. And he's right I don't remember it being an issue in froyo. I have the stock sd card and it went through a long period of never messing up so I really wouldn't think it was that.
I've had the same issue playing music from the sd card. It sounds almost like a digital hiccup.

Most GB audio playback for me is smooth sailing compared to 2.2 and 2.1 Android, but it's unlistenable while using GPS navigation (like Google Nav), sometimes silenced for minutes at a time. And I have the guide voice muted. What about accessing data (on 3 or 4G) or GPS causes this crap? It seems like GB is more efficient about the phone's resources in all cases but this, and it's a really bad step backward from Eclair, let alone Froyo.
I've had this problem since 2.3 but when I switched to cm9 and started using the miui music player it stopped
I have this "issue" too. Playing music with 3g off to save battery, turn 3g on, and it "hiccups" for a few seconds. But once 3g is on it's fine. I also notice while downloading large files (or tethering) over 4g music "hiccups" and skips.
So it is sounding like since GB the radio when searching for signal sucks a tremendous amount of juice which we thought caused a lot of reboots on the GB leaks.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
have this issue also. when I'm on my breaks at work and I'm outside (presumably on cell towers) and walk into my building (which has relays for the parts of the building that have no reception) i get a skip during the handoff, or when switching for 4g back to 3g.
during these handoffs i think the processor has to spend a moment too long making sure the phone is a phone and prioritizes being a phone above all else, like being and mp3 player.
it's worst for me when im in a part of the building that has a relay and is near a window. think it switches back and forth between the towers and building relays.
just my best non knowledge based guess.
i generally just run mp3 from my sd card.
thanks for the replies guys! i'm guessing then that there isn't an acknowledged fix yet in the community .
explosivequack, so the MIUI music player doesn't have this problem? I would love to stick with poweramp especially since i paid for it, but if miui player can do pretty much the same stuff then I might give that a try if it truly doesn't skip. thanks.
@kennyglass i'm pretty sure it isn't my SD card. i switched my stock one out for one of the fast ones a year ago, plus it never happened on froyo like the others said so i doubt that's the issue anyway.
i was hoping it was a 2.3 issue but i've been on cm9 since alphas and there's no change. I can always tell exactly when my music will skip if i'm driving on a familiar route because of the 4g deadzones.
Have you tried reverting to the EC05 modem to see if that helps? It is sounding more and more like heavy battery draw while trying to regain signal causing the skips.

Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
When I was on stock with my MT4G I stayed on HSPDA almost all the time. Now, after flashing, every ROM has trouble sticking to H and goes back and forth between that and 3g. This has been on GB sense, ICS Sense, ICS CM9, ICS MIUI, and ICS AOKP ROMs equally. (I was on stock for a good while as I didn't require root at the time)
After searching around I see signal strength and data speeds on 3g discussed with radios but not H not sticking and continually flipping. For all i know this isn't even a radio issue.
Anyone Experience the same issue?
Any suggestions for radios or other fixes?
This is extremely annoying as while it flips there is a pause in the data stream so it's almost worse than just having 3g. Any help is greatly appreciated.
This needs no fix. Unless forced otherwise by base station, 3G will be the default connectivity and it'll automatically switch to H whenever traffic is going back and forth. Perfectly normal and expected.
If you get drops to 3G while data is actively required - it means that baseband might be overloaded. In any case, this isn't your phone's fault.
Tested back with the the Stock ROM and I can confirm that it doesn't happen on stock.
Sounds too strange. GB Sense = stock ROM.

Well, the stock ROM has crap battery life. Perhaps it tries to force HPSA+ too often, which looks good when you're staring at your status bar, but kills battery.
I'm probably wrong, but it is a thought.
To clarify the data so people with more knowledge than I have can have an objective look at it. On any ROM, including stock, I tend to stick with H during a continuous download for the most part. Occasionally it will drop to 3g which may be a tower issue like you were saying. At times where I have apps open for data use but not continuous file download, say, in the middle of browsing web pages.... Even as a web page is loading I get continuous flickering back and forth of 3g/H on multiple ROMs but not on stock.

Hi to all. I got the Bolt during the 50% off deal online with Sprint. I jumped from the HTC One M9. I really love the Bolt, but I got 2 concerns at the moment. First, I think the phone is overheating (more that it should considering the SD810 i think). It gets too hot to the touch on the back during regular use (FB, instragram, ocassional taking of pictures, web browsing and maybe playing a game). with temps up to 109 °F and 110 °F. Sometimes it gets hot playing music using the included USB type C headphones. Secondly, I can't get LTE internet speeds faster than 1 - 2 MBPs for download while getting upload speeds of 2-3 MBPs. I tried PRL Updates, Profile Updates in different zones and soft resets of the phone with no luck. I tried also looking for a solution online and even at sprint.com but I couldn't find any claims of the same issues I'm having. Maybe those temps are normal? But i'm pretty sure the internet should run faster. Any ideas that could help? Wanted to try here before taking it to repairs for diagnostics, because I hate the process of setting up the phone from factory settings, specially without root and titanium backup in case the unit is deffective.
Thanks in advance

This is my first HTC so not sure if it's normal, but I have noticed it get extremely hot. I can't imagine heavy use and during the summer. I wonder if this is normal or they would eventually recall the product. Lol not trying to sound like a pansy, but it feels really uncomfortable on my hands and inside my pocket when it gets hot. I have noticed it cool down when i go under the developer option and max out the cpu. I may root and debloat to see if it helps. Also I've noticed my internet speed on wifi is laggy, however while on LTE it's much faster.

Mine gets warm but my problem is the lagging. It specifically shows up when you pan the camera around, it takes seconds for the phone to catch up to the new view plus the camera seems to be constantly trying to focus. On phone videos and crackle are very choppy - unwatchable. phone still seems to work ok, internet speeds are good, apps run and udpate.
Very frustrating as i have always liked the HTC product.
I followed the BadBoyz ROM for some time and at last this sunday decided to jump in the wagon hehehe. Took me a while to decide to finally install a custom ROM but here I am. Everything now seems so smooth and without any lag. The phone doesn't heat up as it used to when I posted this thread looking for recommendations. The internet speeds the blame is on Sprint here in PR. I flashed the MAGISK Root version of the Bad Boyz 2.0 ROM clean and no complains at the moment. Still need to test it some more, but I doubt performance will change. I'm an HTC fanboy myself and always installed custom ROMs on all my HTCs and I have to say that this is in my opinion the most stable I tried. I don't know whay I waited so long to flash a custom ROM; maybe I'm getting old hehe

I too tried the Bad boyz ROM but with no luck. I factory reset my phone many times and tried all stock firmware from .11, .15, .22 and the newest as well. The lag won't go away. Cannot take videos at all because the camera wont keep up. Cannot play video, too choppy and keyboard is slow for texts, etc. I went back to s-on and locked with all factory stock. I bought the protection plan and am going to send the phone in for repair. I hope I just got a lemon. It was fine for 2 months before getting progressively worse.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it was just a defective unit. Still very pleased at the moment with the 2.0 ROM. Overall the phone feels more cold during regular usage (haven't done any intense gaming yet). For keyboard I didn't like the TouchPal as I found it kinda buggy so I switched to SwiftKey. Also the video runs fine here. I had for some years problems with Whatsapp media lagging and even FC a lot when opening pics and videos thinking that it was an Android related problem, but apparently it turned out to be a problem on my part. I always backed up every chat and restored with every Android new phone so even when emptied media folders the problem continued. Installed without restoring chats and the problem apparently is solved. Still need to keep testing to see if any other issue arises but at the moment still works fine. Will keep testing the ROM

Overall the phone feels more cold during regular usage (haven't done any intense gaming yet). For keyboard I didn't like the TouchPal as I found it kinda buggy so I switched to SwiftKey. Also the video runs fine here. I had for some years problems with Whatsapp media lagging and even FC a lot when opening pics and videos thinking that it was an Android related problem, but apparently it turned out to be a problem on my part. I always backed up every chat and restored with every Android new phone so even when emptied media folders the problem continued. Installed without restoring chats and the problem apparently is solved. Still need to keep testing to see if any other issue arises but at the moment still works fine. Will keep testing the ROM

That is interesting. I am guilty of transferring a lot of messages. But in the end I would do a factory reset, no sd card and basic setup with no message restoration. I could tell right away if I had the same problem by opening up the camera and moving the phone around. The picture would not keep up with the phone moving. it would take a second or 2 for the phone to react to the new picture i was pointing at. Normally as you pan the camera around the picture changes with the movement. Hope yours continues to perform well

mine had the same problem...out of the blue it started to get real laggy...it would even lag in download mode...even after flashing RUU & not restoring anything...I could tell going through setup it was still laggy...it was unbearable...I sent it to HTC for repair, it's been good ever since
