Can't stand all the problems on the N1!

I am about to sell my nexus one and get a g1 again or a cliq, I can't stand my phone losing service so much, not sending text messages, and having to turn on and off just to get my service to work again, I thought this was a "super phone"!?!?
anyone else tired of the N1?

No. I don't have those problems. Maybe you can call tmobile about it and have them do a service test in your area.

are you rooted by any chance? If so, why not flash a new radio?

It is the best phone available right now and most probably, will be for the next 6 months.... the problems u described is service related, so say "I'm going to switch my service provider" instead of "I'm going to switch my phone"
You're the first person who would be switching from N1 to G1 or Cliq .....

Yeah, it's an awful phone, I'll give $250 for it just to end your frustration.

Strange, I'm on a different network, in a different country, and I too suffer from data "freeze".
only way to fix is power cycle or airplane mode and back...

This post is everything I wanted to say. Don't downgrade yourself to a lower phone because you are having lousy service provider issues - even though I love T-mobile, it may just not be for you. I do believe though you are trying to be a forum "troll".. (thread starter).

Well the SMS not sending (and having to reboot to fix) seems to be an issue with the OS from what I have been reading.

Meh.. I'm willing to bet that the op either needs to do a factory reset or exchange his phone if it's defective. Obviously his experience is far from typical.

Yeah I haven't had any of these issues, my N1 gets the same signal and speedtest results as my G1. If T-Mob is the problem in your area then a new phone likely wont resolve your problems, if you really think its the phone try a factory reset and see if you still have these issues or if an application you installed is causing them. If you really want to get a new phone go for it, but I think your experience will be less than stellar after using the N1. If you want to sell it let me know how much.

its kinda weird for me, I can receive all the MMS I want but my phone will not send anything MMS, via WIFI or EDGE (ATT). It all worked when I got my phone but since flashing different roms it has been reduced to only getting MMS.. APN's are correct also
any idea's?

Welcome to xda. Most are not having any of your issues (the Nexus Rocks). Where are u located & are u on tmob? stock rom? Provide more specifics & check out their existing threads.

its not that bad. I have a few little issues but I still love it.

I sure as hell was. And you're right, until android is stable and dependable there's little about it that's super.
Keep in mind many of the issues can be fixed with software updates.
Other than the market, data, sms, browser, camera and ram issues, the others are relatively minor though admittedly abundant. I have issues daily but I stopped wanting the next iPhone (or older android version) when I stopped expecting my nexus to be as stable as Windows is on my desktop and laptop. I wanted the nexus to be a little computer which made all the shortcomings really frustrating.
But Google wants a large stake in the mobile operating system industry and the nexus is their chance to shine.
The nexus one has great hardware and its googles baby, it should receive the majority of androids attention.
So if you don't want to root the nexus, which was fun with the old g1 but now id like a phone I don't have to fix my self with weekly or even daily Rom updates (which i completely understand is an awesome and valuable option but I think those who root have very few issues and are largely intolerant of people who want fixes but don't want to root, like me : / ),
I understand that its bizarre that there are so many problems but don't jump ship, when Google finally starts addressing all of the issues you'll be satisfied. Think of this phone as beta, that's what i have learned to do, because it has enormous potential! So give it at least until Google gets an update out which really should be soon.

I don't get it.. I'm not rooted and I don't have any of these issues.. is my phone a factory freak or something?

OTA updates if not on T-Mobile?

I'm using a T-Moblie MyTouch 4G on Wind Mobile in Canada. Would the phone get OTA updates? If not, is there any way to check or download the latest updates. Have there been any updates since the version on my phone:
Android: 2.2.1
Baseband: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel:
2.6.32.21-g899d047

Build: 1.17.531.2 CL277036 release-keys
Software number: 1.17.531.2
Browser: WebKit 3.1
The reason I ask is the phone behaves strangely at times. I've seen it show 3 or 4 bars but GPS, data and voice don't work until I reboot then all is fine. I've also seen it lose a strong signal and be unable to get it back until I reboot and suddenly everything is fine. I've also read so much about how fast this phone is supposed to be but mine seems to to frequently stutter when scrolling through the app list, movie playback in rockplayer (and others) is often jerky, and it even seems to have serious problems recording at 720p (it freezes for a while resulting in sections being missing from the recording) or playing back those videos. I'm hoping maybe there was a bug fix released.
Thanks!

stock Rom is pretty bloated and your going to run into those issues if your on stock. swap to a custom rom and root and you should be fine.

So none of that sounds out of the ordinary on the stock ROM?
I'm trying to get my phone replace with one of the ones with a good screen. I'm waiting to hear from the third HTC rep who's supposed to call today but it sounds like they are going to give me a replacement since they told me they're trying to collect samples of the poor screens (although based on the poll I saw in this forum, it's hard to imagine there's a shortage of samples for them to look at). I don't want to do any permanent rooting or flashing until I have a replacement just in case it causes issues with warranty.
Once I have a good replacement I'll probably go ahead and flash something better. Is there a stable Gingerbread ROM yet?
Thanks.

Thats strange. I'm completely stock and don't have the problems you're having. I think you just got an overall bad device. Hope you get a good replacement. What speeds are you getting?
As for the ota? I don't think you'll receive it due to T-Mobile being the one that pushes it. When an ota does come I'm pretty sure there'll be a manual way to update. Latest update is still 2.2.1 which is the one currently on your phone.
CyanogenMod 7 is still experimental but I hear all over that its pretty stable. Check some threads first.

I've had zero issues on stock and still haven't bothered to flash anything yet, despite being rooted, because the stock works so well for me. I also think you just got a generally bad device. Best of luck with your next one!

[25.01.2011] There is no any official update after this version...

Ok, thanks guys. I'll see how my new phone works when I get a replacement. Hopefully it'll behave better...

I'm stock and I don't have those problems that you mentioned. Have you tried factory reset?

No, I haven't tried a factory reset yet. It's been a little better behaved lately. Also I'm most likely getting a replacement from HTC in the coming days(weeks?) so I'm not inclined to do any modding or starting again from a reset until I get the new phone. Whether it's a hardware or software issue, hopefully starting fresh on a new device will fix it...

Im in a similar situation (in Canada as well) and waiting to hear back from htc regarding getting a replacement (taking them quite a bit of time to respond) - let us know how your warranty claim goes!

cyanogen 7 works great

Did you ever get your replacement? I got an escalation call the day after my initial call so I was feeling really good about HTC support. He told me I'd get a call from corporate. Still haven't heard anything. Finally called HTC support back, their notes were all messed up, and after several minutes on hold they told me Corporate will call me.... And now after that last post I want to install Cyanogen 7 but I don't want to do it before sending back my phone...
In any case, I put up a video shot at 720p to illustrate one of the things I was talking about. Actually, in low light video looks awful, but there was enough light to make this one look decent at times, but every so often it just pauses. This happen to anyone else? Is it a slow SD card write issue maybe? I'm using the card that came with the phone.

Did you get around to the factory reset?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

HTC, after a month of d*cking me around, finally told me the "bad" screen are within spec and I don't have a valid warranty anyway, so would I kindly go fornicate with myself...
I guess I'll try a factory reset and flashing now...

My 1st gen Vibrant, advice

Hello,
I really love the screen on this phone, the hardware capabilities (720p rec, etc.) and although newer and better processors in phones are coming out I like this 1 enough to hold me over for a long time.
so here is my issue:
I purchased my vibrant about 2 weeks after came out, and the biggest problem I faced initially was the problem with the gps. At this point I have not even use gps is the first month I bought it, instead I just use google maps in follow the directions it gives me.
Since that time, I have rooted my phone. I was really happy to get the first update that was rolled out, even though it was rooted. I have heard of all the difference solutions to fix the gps but is it really worth the effort to practically void my warranty even further than rooting it by opening it up and trying to solder whatever antenna is in there.
Now I know my phone is covered under samsung warranty. I should also mention the other big problem I have with it is the battery life. If I can fix these 2 issues I would love the phone forever.
here's my question:
is it feasible and worth the effort to get my phone returned back to samsung so that the battery and gps are of the newest generation?
does anyone have experience doing this and how willing is samsung to work with me?
Finally if I do end up getting a replacement then I know I will have to un root my phone before I send it to samsung. I'm not stupid but I just haven't flashed any roms before. if I did get my phone back to stock settings, then would I lose all of the applications and I paid for and all the customization I have done to the phone (contacts, accounts, data)?
also just curious but I haven't received the 2.2 over the air update yet am I even going to get it since my phone is rooted? I figure I may as well try 2.2 before I actually send in the phone.
I know these are a lot of questions but I really like this phone and I want to get it to work.
thank you and I appreciate any suggestions or advice for me.

New and old Vibrants alike have GPS problem.
I don't have an answer to all your questions, but what I can tell you is that you should not wait for your phone to update to 2.2 because it is an over-the-air update.
Follow these instructions if you want to update your phone:

As far as I've heard the newer ones after 10/10 don't seem to have the same problem. It may be worth it to take it to the store and show them how bad the GPS is. They may exchange it for you. I'd unroot and go back to stock first.
That won't address the battery issue, but that's generic to most of these newer phones. You can do tweaks to get more life out of them, but that seems to be about it.

if I unroot and go back to stock is it going to erase my applications and contacts, and settings?
I bought it online so I would have to send it back to letstalk.com, I'll have to check out the return policy.
thanks for the replies.

You will not lose your paid apps, they are tied to your google account. Use titanium backup before you unroot your phone to backup all your data, including app data. When you get your new phone, you will have to reroot and then you can restore everything from titanium.
You can try to get a warrantly replacement from Samsung rather than using letstalk, I think it's a pain to exchange with them, but I'm not sure.

As said above, Titanium backup will handle it. I have my phone from someone on this board, so I had to go directly with Samsung. Once I could get the tech support person to understand the phone just didn't work it was easier. Don't know how that would go with the GPS. Mine was for the phone not working as a phone, ie, no connection to the network.

I find that to be incorrect. My Vibrant has a 11.01 (2011 January) build date on it and the gps is horrible. I've tried every rom, but I do notice the gps being a little more better with certain roms.

Here is my story:
I phone up t-mobile and say my GPS doesn't work. They made me go through a four day dance trying stuff, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
They then replaced it with a brand new phone.
And they charged me $10 shipping & handling for the new phone.
Before the phone never could reliably get and hold on to a GPS lock; afterwards it locks in seconds and never drops.

Hmm, threads I had seen were saying it was better. I have an older one that I just fixed myself. I was hoping they'd gotten their act together and fixed their antenna construction. Its such a simple thing to fix, you'd think they'd do it at the plant.

False

False, I've personally used Vibrants made after 10/10 and the GPS is no better than ones produced earlier.
There is no change in hardware, and it has never been proven that a hardware revision on the GPS was made on phones manufactured after 10/10. Just speculation and rumor.

Yeah, I think I've got to agree on this one.
In the gps case, I really think it is really a hit or miss issue. My gps works pretty decently but my hubby's doesn't work at all. Even when we were both stock, I could lock on some birds but his was never able to. On top of that, when I flashed Nero onto my phone, my gps got even better. Granted, I don't think it would ever see a thing if it was working on standalone; but with wireless networks on, this thing would (and has) pinpoint(ed) me on a moving train accurately.
Aside from firmwares (now), the only difference between them was the build dates: his - 07/10, mine - 09/10.

[Q] Random Restarts

Hey everyone,
I just put the cyanogenmod 7.0.2.1 on my HTC EVO 4G about a month ago. At first it was working fine, now it will just randomly restart not while I'm ever using it, but when it is sitting idle it will just restart at odd times. Has anyone else had this issue?
Everything else with the ROM is working awesome. Please Help.

No issues here, why don't you come up to date and flash the stable 7.0.3.1. Are you running any custom kernels by chance?
Here's the link to 7.0.3.1 just flash over your current rom and wipe dalvik-cache.
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/update-cm-7.0.3.1-Supersonic-signed.zip

Oh thanks, been really busy with work, and hadn't had time to check for any updates. I appreciate the help very much. DL'ing the new ROM now.

Upgrade to the newer version. Maybe it'll help? Definitely clear cache & dalvik when you update.
Evo 4G / CM 7.0.3.1 - Tiamat 4.0.2 SBC / XDA Premium

I was running CM7 and went to a different Rom because of the reboots and been fine since. Tried all the usual things but phone would still freeze and reboot. Last one I was on was nightly 65. There are also a few threads around about the ROM bricking phones that it makes crash. As usual, nandroid if things don't work out.

That's non sense, bricking phones say whaaaaat. I've been running cyanogen roms since the G1 and I've never heard of cm bricking phone's. Don't let this person talk you out of cm lol.
If cm bricks your phone you're (1) an idiot, or (2) shouldn't be rooting your phone in the first place.

Its probably still there you just have to open a text window long press the text box and hit "input method". Once you hit input method swipe will still be there if it was installed.

I have ran many different roms and CM7 was the ONLY one that caused my phone to reboot many times a day. A quick google search can show you threads about owners who had phones that bricked after running CM7. I never said it was gospel, I just dont need my phone rebooting multiple times during the day and it was way more often when I had wimax connected. CM is a great rom but its not the second coming of Android and not worth my phone rebooting during the day.
And I am running Smooth N Sexy V1.2 A sense ROM that looks like gingerbread.

Reboots
I've been through several ROMs now and the reboot problem appears to be not a ROM issue!
Here is the story. I had started with Baked Snack, very good, but I wanted more battery and to try CM and get away from Sprint messaging update nag.
CM worked great, I updated to 7, until the reboots started to happen during heavy use of Angry birds.
So I restored to early CM 6.x, and reboots continued off and on every few days, getting progressively worse.
So I tried Warm 2.2, same issues.
I went back to CM7 and still trouble.
I went to Fresh and It was fine for a week, and then on Friday, (I noticed that Friday was significant), reboots again.
So after a month of this the reboots are so bad that I can't use the phone. I called Sprint, de-provisioned the EVO, went back to my Palm, and then unrooted and went back to Stock ROM, but with no Cell access.
The phone is stable now. As long as it's off the Sprint Cellular network!!!
All of the reboots were related to cellular activity. Messages coming in, ads being updated, calls coming in, tower switching, roaming, or worse of all, no tower signals at all.
I will post back here if the phone remains stable without cellular. But all of the research I have done on the issue has pointed to cellular access. I am on wifi and all the apps and functions are working without issues so far. I am starting a dialog with HTC to see if there is a hardware problem.
The reboots also caused heat in the general area of the SD card...don't know what else is there but I do know the cellular antennas are on that side of the phone. Leaving the battery out all night, after an off state recharge would help stabilize the phone for a while, including cache wipes and factory resets.
But once the phone had been on for a while, or Friday morning would come, the reboots would continue.
I have been a computer nut for 30+years and I solve issues for a living. I strongly suspect the radio hardware or firmware as the culprit in this reboot issue. Every other account of this has had similar connections to the radio use.

Agreed 100% , I've been rooting since the day it first became available and never bricked my phone or got stuck in a boot loop by just flashing a "rom". If I get reboots its because I either flashed a kernel or a very unstable rom. It makes me laugh that you think "CM7" is causing the reboots. You say its CM7, I say it's idiots who probably don't follow directions.

Dude its all good, no need to call anyone an idots because we all can have different experiences. Any ROM thread in the dev section has reboot posts some have resolutions, some go to another rom and some seem to be hardware issues. Just like you have been rooting since day one like I have doesnt mean that CM7 is NOT causing my phone to reboot when no other ROM does not.
Your welcome for me allowing me brighten up your day by making you laugh, dont take your personal experiences and spread them across every user like its the ONLY experience.

Im not saying cm roms make sense look like windows 95 lol, and I also don't think cm roms would keep me from jumping ship to a 4.3" iPhone 5 neither. I'm simply saying you're pointing the finger at cm being the cause I'm saying imo its 95% user error that's all. When do you hear of experienced users complain of cm (stable) causing reboots or boot loops? Don't worry ill wait....

Once more sir, I spoke from my own personal experience. Plain and simple CM7 was causing my EVO to reboot, and especially when it was on wimax or multitasking. Even from a clean install without restoring anything except for logging into google on the device. I spent 4 days troubleshooting the issue including trying different versions and nightlies. Oh yea..and before you ask the temps were normal on the device no higher than any other time.
But yet again another know it all here on XDA. Dam i must be dumb as **** to been flashing my phone since the froyo root method was released and never had another ROM give me that type of issue. The ROM is not worth me going back to the stock RUU and swapping hardware to since that seemed to be the the last variable after my troubleshooting. Not a big ****ing deal...my phone didnt agree with CM7 like I have seen a small number of other users out there. You dont see me around ROM threads always *****ing and moaning about issues when resolutions or known issues are posted on the first page or doing any other nonsense that I will guess others on here are doing that you may be referring to.
Obvious you are one of those XDA "experienced pros" that are quick think someone has no idea what they are doing with their phone. Post count doesnt mean everything bro.

Once more sir, I spoke from my own personal experience. Plain and simple CM7 was causing my EVO to reboot, and especially when it was on wimax or multitasking. Even from a clean install without restoring anything except for logging into google on the device. I spent 4 days troubleshooting the issue including trying different versions and nightlies. Oh yea..and before you ask the temps were normal on the device no higher than any other time.

You win, you obviously have the bigger nerd e peen. I should go back to a flip phone. *Bowing to phone gawd*
You wouldn't be as much as an ass if you happen to suggest ONE resolution to the rebooting.

Random reboots No matter the ROM/Kernel set up

I've been waiting a month to ask for help cause i'm stubborn and wanted to fix it on my own, but now i'm over it and accept the fact i need help haha. Basically, I've had this evo running CM7 and Destroyer with savage-zen kernels since january, i updated CM7 from a nightly to a RC and ever since i've been getting random reboots, i've tried everything, restoring my original nandroid, running stock RUU's and a combo of a million different roms and kernels with no luck, also updated radio/prl/NV. I've exhausted my resources now and dont know what else too try, anyone have any suggestions?

So completely unrooted/returned to stock it STILL random reboots?
If so, sounds like a hardware related issue.

Yeah went all the way back to unrooted s-on, I was starting to think it was hardware related, thanks mattykins

I can confirm that this is a hardware issue. My first EVO had the exact same problem you had, and continued to get worse and worse to the point where it would cycle 10 times before actually staying on for a little bit.
I called Sprint and told them that I thought my phone was defective, and when I explained the problem they said it was a known issue and that it would be replaced free of charge.
A friend of mine is actually dealing with this very thing right now and he said that Sprint is now shuffling people off to HTC for defective phone replacements. If you are within 1 year of buying the phone it should be free, as per the manufacturer's warranty.

I also had this happen and got it replaced. Now I'm without root but at least my phone works. It's definitely hardware related.

I had the same problem, no matter the rom or kernel, it would reboot and get stuck in bootloop. I finally gave in and went to sprint, turned out it was something with the hardware that would heat up my battery and then when it got to a certain temperature it would cause it to reboot. Definitely take it into sprint.

Thanks everyone, but if I take it to Sprint I have the feeling ill still have to pay 100 cause the screen has a crack across the bottom.

Try anyway.
Technically you would win legally because the crack has nothing to do with the issue you're having thus the warranty is valid.
(Although I guess they could claim you must have dropped it and that could have damaged something internal)
But the worst case scenario is they say you have to pay the $100 to get a new one and if you don't you still have your phone.
The best case, they fix or replace it.
Either way, its worth a shot.
