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.
Hey Community,
I have Simplicity .04pre installed, and everything went fine. Except for the SMS times were messed up. So I searched a little, and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15704045&postcount=167
In another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17427755&postcount=238) they said it is usable on JVR as well.
But after I installed it through recovery mode, it says "Cannot launch application" on my dochbar and the messaging App is not visible anymore in the app menu.
The Recovery didn't work. So yeah, right now I am without a SMS function, which kinda sucks
Do I have to flash simplicity again? (Which I try to avoid)
ANd I rather not use 3rd party applications for SMS I want the system one.
Any Ideas?
Slight push:
I reflashed Simplicity with a non-Wipe, but I still have the problem, that received SMS Time Stamps are off by 2-3 Minutes (When I searched fro the problem it was for 1 hour or 5 hours but never only some minutes).
So here is my question: Is there a way to fix it? I don't want to search for another ROM, because I like simplicity. But I hate the wrong order more (It puts my replies before the original SMS when I answer to fast)
Edit: Use "Time Stamp Fix" now, but well its an app, I'd rather see it fixed
Some times when Im viewing Text messages, they dont appear in order properly, Like I will send a text and it will be higher up and one I received before, as if I sent it before that, which clearly I didnt as it was a reply.
and when I restart my phone sometimes it will send a random text message that I sent ages ago to the last person I was texting which can confuse the other person.
anyone have these issues?
yeah i know what you are refferring to....download sms time fix from the market, enable it, and under adjustment method choose use phone's time
it use to happen to me all the time, still Happens to my wife all the time(she has mytouch 4g). the only time it happens to me or her is when we use third party SMS apps never on stock sms
Text out of order:
1-Do you have a third party sms app? ie: gosms pro, handcent?
It use to happen to me all the time but ever since I started keeping up with the amount of text in a single thread the problem does not happen any more what so ever. For example: text between me and my wife I don't let pass 150 text. Anyone else that I might speak to on a somewhat regular bases I don't let pass 30 and people I text once an a blue moon I erase a couple hours later after I'm done texting them. It does sound like a little work to keep up with but better to do it then scramble your **** up (at least for me). My wife never keeps up with her text like I do and like every 2 to 3 weeks it's starts glitching and doing all that you have said. It got so bad one time that she had to fully uninstall gosms pro them restart her phone cause stock was force closing.
2- to fix it just delete all threads and clear app cache and app settings, you do this by going to phone settings/applications/find app then clear all. If it still does not work then your going to have to uninstall your SMS client (which can be a ***** cause you tricked it out to your liking)
Old text resending after power cycle:
1- I ****ing hate when this happens. It usually happens to an old text that had problems sending and ether never sends and you leave it alone and/or after a minute the app tried again and it sends successfully. But still resends after power cycle.
2- the only way I have seen this problem not happen to much is if you just try to resend the text your self and/ or erase it from your text thread.
You don't have a third party SMS client and are using stock and experiencing these issues:
1- **** out of luck, can't help you there lol. Never happened to me. Suggest you restart your phone and/or clear cache and SMS settings
I hope you or anyone else can find this helpful. Thanks for reading at the very least

Agreed with the sms time fix. However, it doesn't always fix it... Still a pain once in a while. For what it's worth, I've always had this issue with HTC phones. For some reason, the timestamps just suck and for that reason among other reasons, HTC won't be my next phone. I somehow grew to love sense though
Never had the issue with my galaxy s, it doesnt normally do it often, but today its done it pretty much every text. hopefully this fixes it, do love my XE

Check your time settings..
I once had this kind of problem where all of my text (sent and received) does not appear at the bottom of the thread (where they should be). After some troubleshooting (restarting, re-installation of Go-SMS etc), problem was still existed. When I examining my phone, I found out that my time was reset back to 1970's and I remember that day that I detach my battery to my handset thus the time went back to the Jan 1 1970. So I revert the back the date to the current and my posting of message is back to normal.
I have no idea what's going on here... a few days back I noticed when I put my phone down, and picked it back up maybe less than a minute later, Google contacts would be open that I hadn't opened (specifically often to one person -- who I know is totally computer illiterate), or Google Search app was open... a few times if I'd left my web bowers open when I'd unlock my phone weird Google searches would be new tabs on my phone. I forgot about it for a few days because nothing strange happened.
To night took the cake... I put my phone down and a few minutes later heard a noise from it. I don't know what the weird noise was, but I checked my phone (it had been on silent!). I looked at it and about 5 tabs were open on my phone. One for Xbox 720 (I think this has been the random search result on more than on occasion), one for some actress I'd never heard of, some random other stuff... all on my Dolphin HD web browser listed on as a search on Google (no websites actually opened) ... a few of them when I pressed the back button actually had a page or two previous of weird searches. ALL OF THEM, the first Google page lead back to was a search for remote desktop protocol. Which... really, why would someone be searching that on Google if that's what they're doing on my phone (and on every tab they've opened)? This is really weird.
Another thing I notice is when I check the marketplace after this, the Go keyboards voice program is the last thing viewed (not installed). I've never viewed this on my own.
Currently, I've turned off my 3G... and actually, it still seemed to be working even unchecked, so I went in airplane mode. Ok, and even IN airplane mode, I just opened my phone and Dolphin web browser has like 10 web pages open but not loaded, and my Google Search was also open... and in its history has type Xbox 720. Uh... I've never used Google Search app before. Also my emoji side of the keyboard was activated.
I'm using LG G2X, rooted, flashed Weapon. Never any problems like this until very recently. The only recent apps I've downloaded (only about 3 in the last month) are all highly reviewed with thousands of downloads... I don't download random stuff onto my phone either.
Everything seems related to Google Search app, emoji, or the Go keyboard, along with trying to automatically search the same Google-related stuff on my web browsers. I don't get it.
How do I STOP this (hopefully without resetting the phone)? It's really unsettling.
remove dolphin hd ....
its probably a bug since remote handling a phone requires atleast a net connection

The Dolphin browser hasn't been updated pretty much... ever. So I don't understand how it would be the problem, it's the same as ever. I don't have apps automatically update. Do you really think it's the web browser? Isn't it odd that it was fine as my main browser for like a year and then went crazy? Plus it was fine for about 24 hours and then went all weird for like 30 minutes straight.
The weird noise I mentioned that got me to look at the phone was really freaky too, it sounded like a high pitched child's laugh, only lasting about a second...
I use AVG. I scanned my phone after this... it mentioned malware in an app I've had forever (some word search game) so I deleted it. That was it.
Also, while maybe unrelated as I don't always go into my settings, I felt some things were checked/unchecked that I wouldn't have had... like "view keys" when typing out passwords and I had "use wireless" and "use GSP satellites" (battery drainer unless needed, right?)...
Anyway, I've just used AVG and deleted just about every app I don't use.
But I can't delete Google Search, and it seems to be the weird one. When I press back after all this weird stuff, it often leads to Google Search, and it has its drop box open, and the only two things searched for are Xbox 720 and n. Just the letter n. I've never ever searched for either of these things.
I'd suggest you disable Go keyboard (preferably remove it for now). See if there is any issues from that point onwards.
It sounds like your phone might be possessed. You might take it to your local church.
All kidding aside, why not format /scard and restore from backup or flash a new ROM?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I have just disabled the keyboard... but while checking running services on the AVG and closing what I didn't want, I also checked in settings under running applications... I noticed I had two Android systems running... which, I'm pretty sure shouldn't be happening?
One of them had been up for 30-something hours, the other only 6. About the time everything happened, I'd say. It says it was started by VpnServiceBinder (no idea what or where that is) and that the process is called com.android.server.vpn:remote
Two Google Maps were also running for the same lengths of time.
I ended to process on both of the 6 hour ones, without any any system failures...
So... yes... help?
I don't want to restore the phone, seems like a LOT of work... I'm not that tech savvy, either.
Okay. You should do this: root your phone, install App Quarantine and give it SU permissions. Then freeze all apps that are not system apps, Install an antivirus (I like Avast), then start enabling them one by one as you give them some time in between to check for one when enabled causes the 'seizures' and off course you have your culprit.
Otherwise, flash your phone with a custom ROM. There are many detailed guides here on XDA. Good luck with that.
AW: [Q] Is my phone being remotely accessed?

The happens sometimes, it's a really random and rare bug. After a reboot there should be only one process. But the vpn remote is not a good sign. The best would be to start with a clean system, but if it's a lot of work for you, you could backup your stuff (only what's really needed) reflash the rom and back up the essential parts and hope.

Do you have some sort of voice activation program going? This happened to me way back when windows xp was new. I'd be sitting at the computer talking to friends while jibberish would appear in Google search. Freaked me out.

Well, I'm back to say it's still going on. Usually, only at night, like 1-2 AM. Not every night, but sometimes back to back nights. The things it does don't seem like what an actual person might do.
Three nights ago I turned my phone on and instead of getting the lock screen I got the app that plays songs and it was blaring a song in my face. The next night, the same song just started playing, super loud despite silence being on, all by itself a few minutes after I put the phone down. Did I mention the freaky things usually start pretty soon after I put the phone down at night? Last night I heard the sound of a button on my phone dial being pressed (but there was no number actually pressed). When I long pressed my phone after this to see what's running I've got (none of this I opened):Google Search (always without fail this is open; it no longer has typed anything into the search though, it's just open), Phone (pretty much always open too), Apps 2 SD (this isn't normally open), Android keyboard settings (nothing looks different), Settings, Bag It (that stupid little game), and Dolphin web browser (last night it had a new tab open and nothing typed in it, the night before it had randomly looked up an acronym and I'm not sure what it stood for.
To answer a few of the previous questions:
I don't have a voice system opening, and when this stuff happens it's dead quiet... and I don't have wifi on because it drains the battery.
I suppose I may have to reflash my phone or something, which to me is almost more trouble than it's worth especially since I don't know if it'll help... as far as I know I've removed pretty much everything now, and anything left I've had for ages without issue until rather suddenly a few months back... and still am having problems, but it doesn't seem like anyone here really knows what's going on. I've never heard anyone mention things like this online.
Am I the only one ever with a "possessed" phone?
I think I'm just going to turn my phone off at night. What a hassle.

Try to get an adb bugcheck, then analyse it with the Sony automatic analyser that pal szasz made.
I agree with the guys who says its haunted.
Get a priest to perform a exorcism on it! Kind of freaky, but i would perform a clean rom install also.
I would negotiate with it. If that dosent work then search the filesystem for freaky stuff. If that dosent work then do a factory reset. If that dosent work then flash a new ROM. If that dosent work then get a new phone and get rid of the old one for good!
And if your new phone does the same thing, or, your old one comes back to haunt you then you have three options:
1) Deal with it. You're efforts are without meaning. Someone or something is terribly wrong, and it is way beyond your reach.
2) If you try to show someone (who you dont really know, and it wont act up when they are around) then go see a doctor, or phycologist. Someone might still be messing with you though (problably a good hacker, or person you spend alot of time with, most likley smart too).
3) If people know it, and, you are %100 sure nobody is trying to screw with your head then you, or, your phone is cursed. Go see a prophet, pastor, bishop, etc. Just not anyone who is anti-relegious, becuse they will just make it worse :/
Please thank if this helped you, or, found it comical in any way.
I'd just re flash stock. Will take only a few minutes - hardly any trouble. Even backing things up you're looking at less than an hour. No reason not to.

How doi i stop it and get my phone back so it is just me useing it
My phone is doing the same thing. The bad part is that I have the LG XStyle which hasn't been able to be rooted yet. What do you guys think my options would be being I can't root phone. I also have noticed that if I start trying to work it out if I type in certain key words it kicks me offline. If you guys got any ideas it would be appreciated.
Got my One yesterday, received and made calls for the first time today - each time after a couple of minutes it started to distort and sound like the other person was underwater. Once, after hanging up and phoning straight back it continued to sound 'underwatery'. Leaving it a couple of minutes between calls would clear it up before it started again.
Has anyone else had this problem? I suspect/am hoping it's a software issue, something interfering with the Phone app. I'm running stock CM11S updated to the newest version.
If it is a software issue u can report it here it it not already there

I'm more hoping that it's something I've installed that's made it happen - it seems that if I'm the only one that's having this issue then it must be something on my phone. For example, I had about three system apps I don't use greenified (obviously not the phone app!). I've undone them and restarted the phone, going to see how it goes. Shortly after first posting this I managed to go about ten minutes until I got the underwater sound, but it has still happened every single time. Thanks for your help, though - all suggestions are welcome!
On the off-chance that anybody else ever has this issue, I think I found what it was - Greenify Experimental + Donation option to do with telephony wake. I also disabled greenifying of system apps, so it could have been that but I don't think so as the phone app was not greenified. Either way I have made several phone calls, some of which have lasted 30 - 40 minutes (thanks to a touch of debit card fraud almost at my expense) and the issue seems to be resolved.
