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.
I've got a strange problem with my Touch Pro. It works well for two years and one month after end of warranty (don't ask me why) it starts freezing.
I've got standard ROM, I've made hardreset and use only device without any software installed, nothing helped. After few weeks I've noticed that it freezes mostly when some sound is played: when is playing alarm or when I'm typing in navigation with sound enabled and so on. It also freezes in some incoming calls: I was able to pick up the phone and it freezes after 2-3 seconds of the call. The call was not terminated, but I was not able to hang it - only by soft reset. It doesn't freeze in each call - it's quite unpredictable.
Later I turned off the sound and keep only vibration. Phone works without any issue. Of course, when I turn the sound again on, it freezes after a few tests...
Do you have any idea what can cause this? I'm getting angrier after each freeze and I'm sure the device will fly through the window soon if I don't cope with this...
Standard ROM as in non-custom? Do you have any additional programs installed or additional mods applied? You mentioned doing a hard reset, do you experience any issues with your TP immediately after the hard reset or only after any app installation or mods? May need to narrow it down to something more specific. I have no issues what-so-ever with a custom ROM (see my sig) nor additional mods or applications. They'll have to go after my at&t Fuze with an EMP to get me to buy another phone...
It's standard HTC ROM version 5.05.405.1 WWE with Radio 1.01.25.16. I have no problems for two years with this ROM. After the device started freezing, I've made hard reset (twice), but it obviously isn't a software issue - it froze even after clear install with no additional programs or mods applied...
When the TP is frozen, radio still works (so when it freeze in a call, I can continue talking). Sometimes it freeze when I don't answer the phone - funny is it looks like someone is still calling, even the LED is blinking, but I can't do anything. HW buttons won't work, neither power button. Display always stays turned on (as well as I can remember, it never freeze with display off). Soft reset is the only way out of this...
Yeah, I've seen that once or twice (the screen freezes but lights still blinking while the device is stationary) but not lately and not with the ROM I have installed on my at&t Fuze. Have you installed any additional apps or made and modifications? When's the last time you flashed your device? I can't promise you that flashing will solve the issue as it seems very intermittent and random but perhaps it's tied to a specific phone app or mod?
I've got same problem as You.
I was change a roms few times and still not work correctly.
Has anyone can help ?
I still think it's a hardware problem. I have no freeze for two weeks - but it's only because I'm using vibration mode instead of sound. I'll try to disconnect internal speaker to check if it's the source of the problem...
I was in the service and said that it found none of the above-mentioned defects.
They found that this may be dependent on weather conditions (humidity, conditions of work ect)
It is strange, because it rarely encounters this type of problems.
Personally, you're the first person (including me) who has this type of problems
I have not found anything on the forums in my language.
I'll try to look somewhere.
Regards.
sorry for my English
I used this radio and stopped freeze

Give me info if it helps

What the hell is going on. I tried resetting and everything, even exchanged the device and the new one is doing the same thing! Also vibrating and force closing it is getting on my nerves! The followig seems to happen after a while I am TIRED of having to turn of my phone and turn it back on! ~ I go to play a .mp3 it says " FIle type not supported"...My .mp3 ringtone does not work the phone just vibrates the selected ringtone doesnt work. I got too take a picture or record video it says "Camera Failed"....I get a visual voicemail....the "play" button is grayed out and I have to turn off phone turn it BACK On just to check my voicemail. Also occassioally my sms wont work either. I turn my phone off and on every morning and throughout day I notice this and its getting REAL annoying !
Well first off, this isn't a software flaw, this is specific to you, as we have many users here including myself who are using these phones daily without the issues you are describing.
You had said that the issue was with an mp3, can you upload that somewhere for us to test on our phones?
As far as the camera and visual voicemail, I've never heard of that issue before, perhaps you ended up with a bad phone again?
I am getting the frequent force close with messaging. I also have had problems with the camera and idk about the mp3 stuff I haven't put any ringtones on the phone yet. This is getting really annoying I agree.
I don't have any issues with mine? Have you guys done anything like rooting or flashing anything?
Nope, completely stock. The most I have done is take a screen shot lol.
hmm maybe some have a defect? It's not all SK4g's though, as some of us have no issues at all. I would suggest getting it replaced by T-Mobile, as this is a factory defect. not sure why that happened to you guys. has anyone else had these issues and found any fixes?
That's kinda tough the hearest t-mobile is like 4 hours from here /:
One of my friends who went with me on the trip to get the SK also got one and he says he's never gotten a force close so you may be right. But could it have anything to do with the amount of texts I send/receive? Because I have to admit it is pretty excessive. The failing to send messages when I am receiving one simultaneously is expected, but not the force closes in my opinion.
It shouldn't force close on you. I know mine fails to send every once in a while too, as I text a lot (kinda the reason I got the phone). failing to send isn't as big of a deal, as it notifies you and you just have to click resend. Not entirely sure why it's force closing though? I wonder if a logcat might help? if you have adb installed, you can try adb logcat and see what shows up when you force close? if we can find the issue there, it might be fixable from our end. all depends on where the flaw lies/if it's just a bad apk somehow or if there's an actual hardware issue or something.
I'll do a log next time there is a fc, I'm having another issue or it may be related, but this one is with WidgetLocker I believe. Sometimes when I go to unlock the phone it'll freeze up and then I dont know how to explain it, but it almost seems like it resets but it really doesnt. The phone will blackout for a little then the homescreen will pop up and service will gone for a while until the cards are read just like if I rebooted.
That might be a function of WidgetLocker, I used it on my old G1 and it always hung and black screened at me.

Yeah I know it does that from time to time, but on my previous phone it wouldn't do that reboot thing where it would lose connection then resend my latest text messages once it reconnected.
I'm not sure why it's doing that. My guess would be that the issues are caused because the SK4G doesn't use a normal lock screen. widgetlocker uses some modification of the system file for the lock screen, and perhaps it's not sure what to modify? just my 2 cents.

That's what I was thinking too, I'm gonna uninstall it for a bit and see if anything changes.
is anyone else having an issue with notification volume? everytime i reboot my SK, my notification volume gets pushed all the way down to nothing, so i don't get a sound notification for texts, emails, etc, until i move the notif. volume back up in my settings. i did root with the one-click for the Epic 4G.
This is a new UI so alot of the apps i.e. widgets you may put on will cause issues. If you like certain apps contact the dev so your device is supported correctly. Still to new to get mad at it till sum of the bugs get worked out. I did notice a couple of times when I left screen on in pocket on accident that when I go to use it again it doesn't respond to any touch but can move courser around till rebooted then its ok. If some don't already know the sk4g is almost the same as the epic. The sk4g is still a badass phone for 100bucks.
Same as the OP
I know this is a little old, but I've experienced the same problem as the OP so it seems they are not alone with this problem.
I actually tried two different newly formatted SD cards (because I thought it may have been the SD card), and still would have the problem. Then I actually did swap phones about a month ago and it seemed the problem would now take several days to resurface instead of several hours. And I could deal with that.
Since the OTA update about 2 weeks ago, the phone has been back on it's original BS as the OP posted and it's driving me nuts. I actually missed some emergency calls last night because the mp3 ringtone didn't work so I'm finding a solution to this issue today or trashing this phone.
My belief is that there is something interfering with the phone's ability to read the SD card for media. Because other apps I have that save to the SD card or read from it work fine. So I'm going to master reset it and not download any of my apps and see what happens when I set an mp3 ringtone. If it makes it through the day with no hiccups, I'll slowly add back one app at a time until hopefully I can find the culprit.
bipoler if you'd like, we can exchange via PM what apps we both have downloaded and see if we have some in common that may be problems.
I'll post back with any progress.
I've been having the problem with ringtones not working, just getting silence when I get a call. for me it seems to happen when I set a ringtone from the app Zedge, I don't think it happens when I use ringtones from the Android System, which would make sense if the issue is related to reading the sdcard. gonna go back to a system ringtone and see what happens today.
Yeah my phone had all those problems, but I installed the Lightning rom and all those problems went away, except for the ones about messages failing...I text A LOT
Lightning ROM
Thanks for that info on the Lightning Rom. I will check that out. Phone has been working flawlessly all day with the mp3 ringtone and no extra apps besides the master reset. I might give it until the morning before I start putting them back on.
On stock id install so many apps that ran on the background that id get delay from opening closing swiping and turning onthe phone.. so I wiped it installed a custom rom and just kept the essentials.. havnt had a problem since... well.. occasionly ill have to odi but that's on purpose
Sent from my SK4G
OK, here's something strange that I still haven't figured out why this happens or how to stop it. My Kyocera Echo phone has a different ring tone than what I hear when it starts quietly ringing when no one is calling. I turned it on this morning and used Advanced Task Killer to kill all the apps that start up with my phone that my start up manager seems not to catch, and then when I came back to my phone after getting breakfast, I noticed it was ringing. It happens sporadically even when the phone is idle for a while and it isn't how long it's on or what time of day it is (alarm) or any app that's running (I think.) I think it might be something to do with the firmware or a background app or something. AVG didn't find any viruses on my phone either.
Any ideas of what to check or anyone fix this issue before?
UPDATES:
I noticed that when I tried using Lookout Mobile on my phone, that I no longer have the program called "Hot Reboot" on my phone and I think it removed it. I haven't had it off of there long enough to tell if that's what glitched it up or not, but so far I haven't noticed it ringing. Maybe it's a virus. A lot of people seem to have it, so maybe they made it so it's just buggy on the Echo. I'm not sure.
Update:
No it isn't that program...
Update:
I did a factory reset and as long as it isn't a firmware bug or a rootkit virus or something, I should be rid of it now. I'll keep this post updated in case it comes back. I only installed a few of the programs I had on it before.
Update:
Ok, so it started doing it again....
Update:
Good news! I'm making progress and I found out that the program causing this issue is actually the dialler program. When it started ringing again I tried the volume button and it gave me the volume control for "In call volume." So, I tried to make a call to my voicemail and the ringing stopped when it connected. So there's some kind of issue with the dialler thinking I'm in a call and yet it rings with a ringtone that wasn't set as a ringtone when it shouldn't be ringing at all and the max volume is still super quiet. I'm not sure why this is happening even after a factory reset. Neither of my antivirus programs saw it as a virus either, so I'm still not sure what's going on yet.
Update:
I called Sprint today and they said it was a known issue and so I updated my software, but I thought I did that before and still had the issue. Maybe it didn't take the last time, but both my friend and Sprint said to update it. I take it as synchronicity was trying to get me to update it and that will fix it. I'll let you know if that was the issue or not.
Update:
OK, in conclusion, the update patch that I used above is what fixes this issue.
I am new to xda, I hope I found the right place for this problem.
I have a phone which is running android 7, the phone is supposed to be a Samsung s8, but I bought it second hand and it seems to be a mix of many things
Anyway, the problem I am having is that for no apparent reason sometimes when a call is received the phone does show the incoming call and does not ring. The call appears only as a missed call.
The way to reset that works is to delete the cache of the phone app. But that works only for a few minutes and then the problem recurs
It doesn't seem to be consistent, however sometimes it seems like setting the phone to do not disturb or silent mode triggers this behavior, and then even after returning to normal mode, the calls do not appear.
Another thing this that it seems like in safe mode I do not have enough this issue
I am not %100 sure about that either
Any idea what setting could cause this problem?
Thamk you to all who have ny suggestions
