I am in Baltimore Maryland... Ever since i upgraded to jf's rc33 firmware, i get aloooooooooot of " undelivered message" notifications. This never used to happen to me, maybe once a week with 2 messages. In most cases people ask me why the F am i triple texting, and it happens when i try to resend the messages and the phone keeps saying "message cannot be delivered". Is anyone else experiencing this? In maryland only perhaps?
I have tried keeping message count below 100, reseting the phone seems to be the only quick fix. One other thing, when i try to make phonecalls every now and then, the **** just hangs up as soon as the call is placed and when i receive a call sometimes and i press the answer key, it takes about 10 seconds to answer and continues to ring. suggestions buddys?
Make sure you delete your SMS threads if they get too long. Typically once threads get past 150 they are slow and take a while to open. If you are using the stock sms try chomp seems to handle threads better. I have JFRC33 and have not issues.
My wife and I have the exact same problem with the phone hanging up and not picking up a call for while. And dropped calls - almost always. And we live in the heart of Dallas.
yea the g1 is a nice phone, but either android or t-mobile blows..
every now and then people call me, and i get a missed call, but the phone never rings,
and sometimes when i call people, they pick up but one of us cant hear the other,
and sometimes, the g1 will ring, but when i press the green button to anwser, the phone continues to ring
im getting pissed off,
rc29, rc33 both fail to work
I am in Baltimore as well, and I have JF1.42 RC33, without any of the problems you have. Sorry, can't be of more assistance, but maybe your SIM card is old and needs to be replaced? I have heard of them causing issues sometimes.
yup same thing is happening to my phone. it is really starting to piss me off. i thought it was cuz i dropped my phone but i guess others have been getting the same thing. i hope theres a fix for this
I had this happen to me about two days ago. SMS failed to send to anyone. I restarted the phone and havent had a problem since. They are still developing this unit, so try to be patient.
i've had some calling issues recently, both making and receiving.
sometimes when receiving a call, i'll pick up and my phone will reboot, and take absolutely ages to boot up. and when making calls the other end will sometimes go completely dead and it's the same for the other person.
only happens very occasionally but it's happened with a few landline calls and different mobile networks. only been since RC33 too. not saying it's related but it is kinda annoying.
Wipe fixes all
unless the problem's firmware/hardware related, then it does **** all.
Wipe and wait
Could be too many apps eating memory on the G1 and/or buggy apps crashing buggy android. The best you can do is download mybackup from market, back up all data +sms+ageda etc, Wipe the phone. An dont install a single app from the market in 1-3 days and see if problems dissapear.
Personally, i never install any app who claims to "start at boot" Never. MyBackup is one of them and always delete it after backup. i may be wrong but i thing resident in memory apps and apps who starts at boot degrades performance over time, because many of them are buggy so i avoid using them. Well my phone runs fine with this.
buggy behavior
well i think this happen when phone memory is full, try to delete least used applications, clear applications cache like browser and youtube , then do a reset.
Ive had the issue more than a few times where the phone will start ringing but the screen will stay dark, i wait until it turns on to see who is calling after a few rings and then it wont respond to pressing the answer button unless i press it a few times, and even then it takes its sweet time answering. Ive dropped plenty of calls due to this, and yes it has only started happening after the radio firmware/RC33 update.

Oh... don't even start my on "MyBackup"... I kept trying to figure out why my phone was lagged so much when I was going back to home screen. Uninstalled apps that were running all the time one by one. MyBackup and Phonebook were 2 biggest memory hogs. Phone runs oh so smooth after I unistalled those 2. Backgrounds app still autostarts for some reason but I like that app too much to uninstall and it does not cause as many problems.

I still have this problem after another wipe..
why does android suck...
i wish tmo would come out with a winmo 3g phone, so much more stable and with more features =(.. i miss my shadow now
I started running into the issue of the phone not actually responding to the "answer call" button, but found it was only happening when I had auto-rotate set up with the DroidSans tools and the display had been rotated to landscape. It seemed like it would start trying to switch to portrait, then lock itself up long enough for the call to go to voicemail, then flip to portrait and be responsive again. I haven't had the problem since I disabled auto-rotate.
However, on the "too many apps" thing, I've suddenly started noticing that my phone will start a good 15-20 apps on startup, including things like AK Notepad. I didn't notice if this was something that started with RC33 or if I've done something else to make this happen...does this happen with anyone else?
I have had a similar issue with my g1 dropping calls and will sometimes see a force close while on a call as well. I did a wipe and did not enable auto rotation and so far it seems to be running more smoothly.
Been there done that...I am having the same issues and it is beginning to drive me nuts. I make heavy heavy use of my phone on a daily basis. Dropping calls where they just go to la la land...or the phone rings and I cannot answer for about 10 to 15 seconds, the phone just reboots for no reason... stupid things like that. I have RC33 rooted, radio upgraded with JF 1.41 and this has been happening daily about 3 times or so a day. I love my G1 and I have a hard time parting with it...I am trying to be patient while it develops but...I am about to go get the 8900 curve...
I forgot to mention...I had to do a wipe on my phone also due to a problem with the accelerameter and that did not help this issue either.

it seems to me that it is tmob related, since i`ve had that b4 on my lil nokia phone.
this is copy of my post in the "question" thread. noone replied and it is a serious problem. i am sure i am not the only one also.
Hi i'm using EnergyROM 'Phoenix 2' (21877) ★|Nov 27|Manila 2.1
But! with every single ROM including stock ATT Fuze ROM i had this issue, and finally i cant take it anymore. Also i had phone replaced 2 times ( physical damage). So its not hardware issue or ROM, its Windows Mobile seems like... How can I fix it?
While in regular windows threaded sms application, finishing up conversation and hitting 'x' to go back to all messages view will cause a phone to freeze for up to 4 minutes, 9 times out of 10. It will freeze up the phone. The only solution, if i dont want to wait, is to hold answer button to open task manager and kill the sms process.
it is extremely aggravating, i think you can see that in my post.... Please does anyone have a solution? i tried searching
Ok... i might be completely wrong on this (i hate threaded sms, so turn it off!) but i've read before that the sms app can take some time to process the threading. This was noted & commented on after restoring a backup, not in general use. If you have lots of messages, it might be worth simply allowing the sms app to do its thing for 20 mins when you're not trying to use anything, and seeing if it makes any difference.
If not, sorry - i'm out of ideas.
Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me.
I just upgrade to the offical Verizon ROM to WM 6.5 and I'm having some issues.
The main problem: I take my phone off of sleep mode or stop it from entering just prior to and my TF3D home screen shows but the banner reads "messaging" instead of "start" like I'm in my messages and the virtual keyboard will pop up. This also happens 85% of the time when I recieve a new txt/mms not with emails however. This is a new development I;ve had the ROM since launch.
Before I call VZW and get stuck on hold for 50 years I figured i would see if anyone else has this issue or knows of a .cab that might fix the issue. I have had luck with .cabs in the past for other issues.
Side note, has anyone successfully stopped the clock from flipping an hour and two minutes? I have checked the fourms downloaded all the .cabs and nothing seems to actually stop it.
I am in the exact same boat as you my friend. I am also having diffuculty locating a background for all tabs .cab and a working rotator for all screens that functions in the VZ TP2 6.5update

I have a very similar problem to you my friend. When I check my messages (txt or emails) and close out of them the Messaging will pop up like yours, although my keyboard doesn't show up. Sometimes it takes 5 seconds sometimes 30 seconds.
My main issue is it will turn my screen back on when this happens. So if I read a txt and close it and I don't wait for it to pop up, my screen will stay on. It's killing my battery life and some funky things happen when its in my pocket turned on..
Any idea if anyone has come across a solution to this?
I have 3 or 4 conversations that I had saved for personal reasons that are over 1500 messages long and I no longer need them. Every time I try to delete the texts, my phone just freezes or gets really laggy until I have to just reboot or pull the battery. Is there an easier way or better way to delete threads with that many texts?
Delete one thread each night before going to bed. When you wake up it should be gone. Repeat each night until they're gone.

Yes in all seriousness I have done exactly that, I'm a text hoarder too. On some of my previous smart phones the phone would seem to freeze, but if i left it alone a few hours when i got back the threaded conversation was gone.
Rooted Thunderbolt on BAMF Sense 3.0 RC 4 with MR2 radio and latest dreamKernel.
you might try using handcent for your sms's. Just deleted a convo over 1000+ messages in a few seconds. Didn't bog the phone down either.
i have had a few conversations not nearly as large as yours before deleting
and it did seem to take a while.
I had the exact same problem. Try deleting them before you go to bed and see if they are gone in the morning. It took mine like almost an hour to delete 2000. It looks like its doing nothing, but eventually the disappear.
Messages settings delete old threads look there...or applications manage applications what ever sms program clear cache next step clear data...something goes south restart phone......

I use a program from the market called "delete old messages" - the free version. It has a few less options than paid, but it deletes my messages very nicely. I started using it when I had my Eris since the phone would get so bogged down.
Probably would be wise to limit message count to 200 or less as well. Much more and it really drags rump.
Hi
I updated my Nexus 5 to Lollipop via the autoupdater and while I initially disliked the look and how really counterintuitive everything suddenly was, it has now become practically unusable.
For starters, apps crash all the time. Simply using Chrome or UC browser results in a crash back to "desktop" every few seconds and when the browser is reopened it is back to the main page having lost any tabs etc.
This also happens with other apps such as the music player which closes and when reopened my audiobook is reset back a random amount.
When this crash happens, I find myself on the main page of the phone but it is totally blank for a few seconds until it jerks right, then left and some app icons appear and then freezes a few more and the rest appear, as if it has reset.
I have today discovered this 'crash' happens even when the phone is locked now as my wife tried to call me and got VMail so sent a few texts which I didn't get til I unlocked my phone and experienced the same blank screen and slow reappearance of apps and finally a missed call and 3 texts.
All in all my phone is pretty useless now. Any apps I run inevitably crash and unless my phone is unlocked I cannot receive calls or emails/texts.
Any ideas or plans for this shambles to be fixed?
Thanks
Easy to fix - wipe it and flash a factory image...
