This is weird my phone totally went haywire for about 30 seconds. It started playing my ringtone so I thought someone was calling me. When I looked at the phone, it had the standard lock screen. I unlocked it and the phone showed a fuzzy black and white screen. Then a random yellow page, I also noticed the gps started locating me, around the same time, navigation appeared saying that I need a licence to use navigation. After all that, the phone went back to normal. What happened?
It's been happening all night. I had to put my phone on silent.

Did you ever find out the problem?
IDK about the Fuzzy black/yellow screen, but the ringing and GPS Location could be caused by someone having access to your HTCSense or other phone locating app (Such as lookout, bitdefender) account.
Interesting!, Have You found the problem or solution for it? Dont know about you but the last time my Phone did Something like that when i was playing 9mm game, listening to music and some1 calling me at the same time.
I had this a couple of times
ringtone kept playing and car mode kept launching, very weird, I didnt do anything, no one was calling. the phone was not docked or plugged in.
finally it was gone after I changed the ringtone.
Awfully strange I remember this happened to me when voice command came on whilst the phone was in my pocket.

This isn't normal operating behaviour...I think that if these sort of things happen the ROM is most likely corrupt and should be reflashed or replaced with another.
Clean your USB-port, I had the exact same thing (especially with the car mode), cleaned the USB-port with a dentists tool and it dissapeared (along with a suprisingly large ammount of pocket lint)
this is my proplem too , but only when i am charging my phone , it opens contacts and call them while i am sleepnig , and turn on bluetooth , now i make my pho offline while on charge , but i think it may be charger proplem as it isnt the original one , it is charger of blackberry , thats what i have

Does anyone elses G1 not wake up when Menu is pressed? Sometimes I have to press it like 6 times before the phone wakes up, does anyone know why?
Mine does this as well. I just thought it was learning from it's owner (I take more than 5-6 pokes to wake me up too).
My only guess is that something is running in the background in order to slow it down and the number of presses has little to do with it.

Yea, i was thinkin the same, i should try runnin a ton of apps and find out if [email protected] the problem
mine does the same things sometimes. gets annoying at times. usually i just open and close the keyboard
Mine recently started this, it must be something we downloaded, plus I have the following problems too, they all started at the same time:
1) When someone calls, the screen stay blank for a while so the phone rings but the screen is off so I dont see whos calling
2) The background keeps changing back to the original blue picture thing
3) The WiFi keeps turning off and drians the battery, nothing I do stops it from turning on. I have all sorts of software running, I even ask Locale to turn it off if its between 12.01am to 11pm and still WiFi keeps poping up.
4) Battery drains FAST lately.
I uninstalled a long list of software and problem is not solved.

I also started having the wake up problem and quicker then normal battery drain. I have an ADP1 phone which I updated to 1.1 a few days before noticing issue
I think that the theory of something sucking clock cycles is a good one. I noticed my CPU Usage (when nothing was running other then System Monitor) went from 0-40% to 20-70%.
I couldn't be bothered with the finer points of troubleshooting, so I took the thermo-nuclear approach and did a factory wipe.
Just before the mystery CPU cycle and wake up issue, I hadn't installed any new apps, BUT I did update a bunch of existing apps. After the factory wipe, I left off installing the following list:
Watts
StreamFurious
DroidFTP
Telnet
e-VoiceRecorder
VoiceRecorder
Constitution
Barcode Scanner
Astro
RingDroid
SlovoEd Classic English Dictionary
Things are fine now.
both of my g1's do this, and have done this out of the box, anyone turn off there screen with the keyboard out, and then close the screen and the screen comes back on with the lock screen up and then having to turn the screen back off? annoying
try the swapper app?
or turn phone off and back on, it might becuase you are usingahome or openhome or dxtop or sweeterhome, these app may slow down the interface a bit, try downloading droid sans tweak lite and fool around with that..
goodluck i also get this sometimes

I'm having same issue as the OP and issued #1, 3 and 4 from the above post.
Hmm, im not experiencing any of the above posted issues, it may be a particular app that u have installed. I only have the wakeup issue sometimes, most likely when the phone is running slow from the browser or another memory draining app, but no app in particular.
Hmm, when mine fails to wake up, I never waited long enough for it to come back, just reseated the battery for a reboot.
Of the other problems, I have the "screen-black-for-a-few-before-caller-picture-shows-up" issue.

what firmware do you have?
btw, dont count on Locale to turn off your stuff all the time, its not very accurate imo, at times its great, but thanks to the crappy g1 battery, they have a choice, constantly check time/location/.ect and drain the battery in a hour flat, or periodically check it and reduce battery drain, do you have any wifi programs that keep wifi on when phone sleeps (such as wifi lock and so on)? if so use the program on the market that writes up a log of its actions and see if its acting up
as for #1 (sorry im unorganized) my phone does that too, i believe its because i have 2 programs that run when the phone rings, let alone im sure locale is checking to see who is coming since thats a condition, which would make 3, and then i have a mp3 that plays when the phone rings, and i have a class 4 sd card (i know, i know), the way that programs work is that it has to go line by line of the code, if it is slowed down, or it has to execute other items before continuing that are slow to execute, than everything has a delay, but yeah from time to time i have this issue, phoneplus was a program that made me miss a few calls (1/4th of the time)
i think 3 and 4 are directly related, could be wrong
I was having the same problem right after I installed the app "Contact Owner"
No amount of reboots fixed the problem. Uninstalled and everything was back to normal.

consider upgrading to the rc33 ota update yet? i had better battery life (and my battery didnt get as hot) when i used rc33
also, if youve had your phone since it first came out (rc19 i believe) and your battery used to get very hot, you might of damaged some of the cells (especially of the battery has expanded), if this is the case simply call tmobile and tell them that your noticing even after wiping the phone that your battery life is lasting shorter and shorted, even with out any programs installed from the market, i even went as far as to say that i made sure wifi was off, only 2g was on, gps was off, screen was dimmed, timeout set at 30 secs, and im still only getting a hour of life (none of which is true but it got through all the "well how about trying this and calling back if you still have a problem" bs, with the ota rc33 and the new battery, i noticed a pretty good difference
I have a modified version of this "doesnt always wake up". The phone is less than 24 hours old, it was a refurb they sent me for the last one that went dead. I used it with the rc33 it came with and found the problem, then figured it was hosed so i rooted and installed 3 of the versions of cupcake (The Dude, JF, and Haykuro) to see if they all had the issue- they do. Here is a video, hope you can see the attempted keypresses. There will be lines that appear, like the screen is broke..then, they will go away. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes to get the phone to turn on, however if I leave it on (never goes to sleep) it works flawlessly.

I get this all the time also...
Uninstalling dxTop doesn't change anything for me...it still acts the same...
I also get the problem that when someone calls me the screen stays blank for about 5 seconds and I can't tell who calling...
wake up issue
I am experiencing the same problem, with a brand new warranty replaced G1, what happens is when the phone goes to sleep it completely locks up, when I try to wake it up via menu, it does not wake. Plugging the phone in and trying ddms or adb does not work, ddms shows the phone as offline, also the device seems to get really hot when this happens, sometimes Call + Menu + Power resets it, and sometimes I have to pull the battery.
I think this may have to do with wifi turned on. Because when the screen goes off your phone switches wifi off and goes to 3G as default setting.
I think we should try leaving wifi on all the time and see if that solves the issue, im about to try that now.
It seems this is a known issue over at tmo forums
A couple questions:
When this happens to you guys is wifi enabled and connected when the phone is shut off?
What Rom, SPL, and Radio is installed?
I noticed this didnt happen to me until I enabled wifi, maybe I didnt wait long enough because its completely random, please send back your results

I just connected my earpieces (Creative EP-830) and entered the music tab. Then I started to play a song, put it in sleep mode and all of a sudden it starts to skip songs from 1 to the next but it's also fast forwarding every song! Also when I press pause to stop it, it just continues again over and over again when I press pause. Not only this, it also started to call people when I wasn't even touching it. It was just lying on my desk!
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks.
Installed HTC HD2 Music stability fix from HTC support page ?
I'll try it out and report the results thanks!
yo, any results by now?
if i connect other headphones than the stock ones, it occasionally calls the last number i dialed when i put it in my pocket with screenlock on (only when sense music player is active). >_>
too bad i can't recreate the problem since it only happens once in while, but its so annyoing.
could this be related to voicecommand? even when i disabled it, it sometimes reenables itself, when i put it in my pocket.
im running Miri & DINIK ROM v17 (awesome) btw, don't know if it is much of help.

The bug returned but after using the htc music fix again it worked as normal again. So you could say it's working.
Two days ago I had the same issue with my device.
Didn't know about the music fix, but i found the problem!
I changed all the audio-file associations with the help of coreplayer - with the result, that sense lost it's "files" ... with the same behaviour as you described!!!
another problem occured: None of the sounds were played ... after noon i saw that i've missed several calls, tasks, appointments and so on..
if hadn't recognized that, even the morning alarm would've been of no use!!
i was lucky having a complete systembackup - transferring it to mSD, double clicking and configuring some minor settings - and voila my system ran like nothing happened...
in short - it's probably a re-association problem of sense's services with the audio-formats! (yes, i tried uninstalling an rebooting! )
I am on my third SGS from Bell Mobility. I returned the first two because of the same problem. I would be using the phone like normal, and at random times I go to make a call or something, and notice that the phone is turned off! On my last 2, i couldn't turn it back on using the power button and assumed it was turned off, so i would re-install the battery to get it working again (until it would happen again a day or two later).
Well, today it happened for the first time on my third SGS (on the 2nd day after i had it). This time, i decided to hold the power button for about 10 seconds to see what would happen...and the phone restarted (didn't re-install battery like i used to).
What could be causing this? I thought it was a defect in the phone, but this is the third one to do it. It happens randomly (sometimes every 3rd day, sometimes everyday). Anyone know what it could be? Could the phone just be 'frozen' in sleep mode? (meaning the phone is still on, just the screen is frozen black)...or could the phone actually be off? Thanks in advance!
The same happened to me several times, but since i changed the default home screen mananger, it never happened again. So, maybe this is a software issue, i dont know.

default home screen manager? could you please explain that to me (noob!). thanks
Just download from market Launcherpro or Adw launcher and Home switcher to set default layout.
Btw it's strange, because my SGS havent hanged up even once since i have it.

I have the same problem. But it happens at least few times a day. I have to check my phone is on regularly to aviod miss call.
I am using a rooted JF7 ,anyone have idea how to solve it?
SetCPU is known to cause that.
The device shuts down automatically.
Just realized WHEN this happens
Happened again today... I tried calling my phone to see if maybe it was just stuck in sleep, but it went to voice mail. This is very annoying because i cannot rely on my device to be on when it should be (ie- for an alarm) The only way to get it back on was to either re-install battery or hold down power for about 10 seconds. This is my 3rd SGS and it happened on the 1st one and the 3rd (only had 2nd one for a day).
I just realized today that it only happens to me at places where i have no signal. It happened at work 5 times (where i get no reception), and once in the forest where i was bike riding. I was in an area that showed no signal, and shortly after the phone was off. (it doesn't make any shutdown noise or anything, I just realize sometimes the phone has randomly turned itself off.
Could reception have something to do with this? Now that I think about it, the 1st phone i had also turned itself off at work....never at home. Will 2.2 fix this problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Three handsets exhibiting the same problem?... I'm starting to think that this might be somehow related to your sim-card...
just leave the phon in stock and it'll work better
once you start adding apps to change the normal stuff, weird things happens

A sim card can cause glitches in how a phone works? That's interesting...how exactly is that possible?
As long as you weren't installing any 3rd party application which can cause this and there's no strong electro magnetic field nearby, which might disrupt your sgs ... I can't think about nothing else...
if you can try a different sim card for a day or two, maybe you'll figure that out...
So I woke up this morning and was checking my fb, twitter, gmail etc as usual and all of a sudden my phone starts doing random things on it's own, scrolling, clicking random threads, and topics, almost like someone was controlling it, it was really odd. Running MDJ's CM7 v2.2
Has anyone ever had this problem? It's really weird, everything was getting clicked and scrolled and when I left it alone it somewhat stopped and then I start trying to click stuff again and the phone starts clicking itself again. Any ideas?

Ok, first of all, your topic question sounds akward... lol
Now in terms of the problem - I had that once (and still do) when I use a nokia charger that fits into the HD2s usb thingy It would just go to different things randomly. I figured out that if I just lock the device it wont actually go anywhere cause there's nothing it can do...
Therefore, the SOLUTION for me was just: don't use the cellphone while charging (not only because of higher radiation) unless it's plugged into the usb to outlet adapter charger.
I have the same thing here. I only get the issue when charging from the wall. The phone puts on Wi-Fi, bluetooth, opens contacts, It does allot of different things. It is really weird. The only solution i have found is to lock the phone upon charging. It does not happen, when i charge from any computer thoe. WEIRD
It could be an early sign your buttons are going to start interfering with your screen... Possibly not, but I had your problem for a few hours, and then a few months later my back-button began to break, e.g. when I used it, the touchscreen would be unresponsive until I turned the screen off and on again.
Sorry to sound like a doom-sayer, this may not be the case, but just a quick opinion. If you look in my history i've posted recently in the thread (sorry, would look up, at work tho...)
My stock music app seems to have started rebooting my phone after about 5 minutes of listening. The phone will then kept resetting itself until I power it off myself.
Strangely it seems to randomly move one app icon from the application menu half the time it reboots.
It's only started happening today and there are no issues when I use Winamp to listen.
There's no change to my phone over the last few days and the music app was fine until today.
Google didn't seem to bring up any useful info, any ideas what's causing it or how to fix it?

WOW and I thought I was going crazy with my phone
This morning alone, I was trying to have myself some music, and the phone freaking bounced like 4 times during 20 minutes.
I have 2 suspect combinations of conditions when this might happen. Both include of course the stock player running:
1) The setting is switched on that mutes the phone when you turn it face down - I suspect it has something to do with the reboots
2) The phone is manually switched to Airplane mode, or there are some rare issues with signal (I am in New York City, signal is the worst here)
Did you by any chance have any of these 2 when your phone bounced?
I have this too. I use poweramp as my music player and have no issues. Using stock KE7.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I've got the face down mute thing on but I always lock the screen when listening to music and it's never caused issues before.
As for the signal, it happened to me at home where I have great signal and then again when I was at the gym, where the signal can get a bit ropey but not in the area I was in when I experienced the problem.
I can't really think of anything that might have caused it. It's not a huge issue for me yet but if out starts affecting other music players then it'll really bug me
I didn't have this issue until I upgraded to ke7
I'm back on ke2 and zero issue with the music app. Look in the ke7 thread, there are few posts about the soft reboot
