JF1.51 Rooted G1 Won't Lock With Red Button

Hello,
After rooting my G1... I've noticed I cannot lock the phone by pressing the red button. I can unlock the phone fine using MENU (or now the Lock 2.0) application, but I have been unable to lock by pressing the red button since I rooted/changed the firmware.
Also, I've had problems with text messages sending (sparadically) and issues with the Market downloading applications without having to reboot the phone.
I do have the most up to date Radio firmware from HTC.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

What does it do when you press the red button?
And whats the deal with that poll? Doesn't seem related. You also missed some choices that might be more popular... i.e. 2 days, 3 days, 5 days.

My phone has been crashing sparadically, force closes. For the past two days pressing end called asked me to set a default action, for which there was only two options "Home" and "Lock 2.0 (WARNING DO NOT CHOOSE THIS) or something to that effect. When I chose home, the button did absolutely nothing, but I never chose Lock. I have not disabled lock, intentionally... But running "Backup for Root Users" wiped my contacts, e-mails, sms, all application settings, my google account, everything.
So go figure.. that somehow fixed the locking issue, but my phone is still far from stable.
I can't imagine anyone getting 24 hours of battery life without plugging it in. I have the original HTC battery and a generic battery too, no luck.
I have GPS and Wifi disabled, brightness down low. I have 3G disabled as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

First of all do a wipe on the phone. If that does not fix it I would re-flash the rom that you are using and wipe. Hope that helps.

if your running jf 1.51 there should be a app called spare parts if you go into that app there is a section that allows you to pick wut the end call button should do whether it be go to the home screen turn the screen of or both

NYSteeler you star! I completely forgot about that option in Spare Parts!
Just installed cyanogen's latest ROM and I was having similar problems. For some reason when it was set to 'Home then Sleep' the red button does nothing. But when set to just 'sleep' it locks the phone as it should!
There's probably a conflict somewhere... but I can do without the hassle of add/removing apps one at a time to see which one it is! And I can live with having to push 'Home' then 'End'.. It's easier than waiting for the screen to timeout!
And who on earth is getting more than 24hrs out of their G1 battery!? Maybe if you leave it at home for the day...! I get about 12-13 at the most out of mine.

Problem with Find My Phone!!!

How do I resolve this? Am I creating a problem or?
The other day I used the side https://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/find and tried to give functions Lost your phone? We can find it for you! Everything was ok! After two days I checked again, but now we give to the picture (windows.jpg). Can someone send me where to look for the programs of something or I 'm screwed

I never booked marked it, just signed into my live.com account clicked on "Devices" from the top left when you hover the mouse over "Windows Live" and it should show up there. But this is what the site shows up to me as now:
https://devices.live.com/

Is it possible that when I check how it works ( ring, lock, or erase your phone ) that I messed something and now you can not use that option.
in order for this picture when I go to Change Windows Phone 7 setting of switch me to that previous file
Oops...
Something went wrong and we can not show you this page right now.
Go to windowsphone.com
Is it possible that I am something in the phone or in checks or something messed up...

Oh, right. You do have to enable it on your phone first.
Settings > Find My Phone
You also have to have a live (ie hotmail or msn) account on the phone.
But you also might need to re-add it on the live.devices.com. I know after I flashed it, it didn't recognize my phone so I just hit "add a phone" on the devices page. It sends a text to the phone and then you should be good.

Hey, after I installed Rataplan v6.0 and tried to activate "Find my phone" in settings > find my phone, it says "Re're still setting up Find My Phone. This will take another moment or two to finish. Come back later to make sure it's been set up, then visit windowsphone.com to use it." It's been saying this since I installed the ROM. What should I do?
EDIT: Found the solution
"Long back story:
Here's what I was previously experiencing:
In Settings, it would list find my phone and have the subtitle "Setup Needed." When I tapped this, it would take me to the find my phone options and immediately display a modal dialog that said it would take a few more minutes to set everything up. When I hit OK, it would back me out of the find my phone settings. This left me completely stuck and no amount of rebooting or fiddling seemed to fix it.
Just now, while I was grabbing another phone to take a picture of the dialog to post here, my phone went to sleep. When I woke it up, the dialog was dismissed and I was in the find my phone options. I checked the first option, Connect to these features faster (may use more battery). I then hit back and the subtitle under find my phone reported connected. I logged into windowsphone.com and my phone is now listed. I simultaneously also received an email from windowsphone.com welcoming me to my new phone. There must be a bug that results in that dialog being dismissed when the phone goes to sleep, and that bug allowed me to toggle the first option, which re-attempted connecting my phone to windowsphone.com.
Anyway, long story short, if you are stuck in this boat, try these steps to work around them:
Set your lock screen timeout to the shortest available duration (1 min?)
Go to settings and tap find my phone.
When the dialog pops up telling you to hold on, set your phone down and leave it be until the screen turns off and the phone goes to sleep.
Turn your phone back on. You should be in the find my phone options now.
Check the first setting, Connect to these features faster (may use more battery).
Back out and verify it says connected and login to windowsphone.com and verify your phone is listed." - found this on windowsphone site, posted by someone. Not my solution.

[Q] Did the G2 update or did I do something?

As of, maybe, four hours ago, the bottom bar on my Verizon G2 is now pink and includes a down arrow menu option for the drop down menu. (I can't give a screenshot because I don't have the requisite number of posts). Did this (Verizon) G2 just update or did I somehow change some setting? I honestly can't figure it out.

Well, my phone notified me last night there was an update available. Then at about 3pm it installed the update without me doing anything. I picked up the phone and saw a notification that in so many seconds the update would install, do not turn off phone, blah blah. No option to cancel or anything. Then it installled. Without my permission, and nothing I could do about it. It rather ticked me off.
I have heard through the intenet grapevine of one or two others having this happen. No way that updates should be force installed, and I've never heard of that happening before.

Its a push from Google I believe to keep android updated.
Most phones now pop up with no cancel with only OK and remind me in X hours but installing without consent seems right in that grey area.

Look in settings> display> front touch buttons. Under 'color' you can change it back to the original color and under 'button combinations' you can remove the pull down arrow. You probably just adjusted the settings in your pocket. I don't Think VZW would push an update that randomly sets your navbar pink.

I'm on VZW - haven't seen anything recently. Post screenshot?

[Q] Alliance ROM - Toggles not changing

Hello all, new to this here.
I've had a Note 3 for quite some time and decided to finally give in to all of this rooting.
By popularity, Alliance ROM seems to be the one to go with.
I managed to get the ROM up and running and I must say this is much better than anticipated.
However, I believe I may have found a bug... if not, I must have done something wrong along the way.
In short, the quick toggles do not reflect any changes. If I turn wifi off, it stays bright green as if its on. Same for any toggle. The only one I see change is the NFC and thats when i switch the s beam on or off (even then it doesnt completely gray itself out, it just goes dim green as if it was changing from on to off, visa versa).
I have wiped and reinstalled the ROM twice with no results.
Is anyone else noticing this? Could it be a fluke?

You have to change the on/off colors manually. It's something that they'll address in the next build but it's a known problem. I forgot how right now but. I'll look for you once I get home.

Settings>custom settings>status bar and toggles> toggle options > toggle icon style
And change it to one that works. Toggles should change immediately and if I remember correctly only one set of toggles worked for me.
Now they all work for me.
Try that and report back.

I hope you don't have this happen to you!

Since I have had the gs7 edge, when streaming iHeart radio, the phone will randomly reboot about once an hour. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app; it made no difference.
Today when it rebooted it prompted me for something about "advanced features" then it continued on.
When it finished rebooting, I noticed that:
My edge panels weren't there any more.
When I pulled down from the top, I didn't see any notifications.. Now when I pull down, I only get a couple of rows, and no notifications at all.
My quick settings were unavailable to me; only a few at the top row
When I clicked on the gear icon in the upper right, it did nothing
The home button no longer worked.
The only way to get into settings was to go to the app drawer and click on the settings icon
My always on stopped working.
I rebooted, to no avail. I went into the settings and attempted to verify that my edge panels were turned onand they were, the aod was turned on, and it was,and now I guess I will need to do a factory reboot to get this phone to work again.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Thanks in advance for your help!
