Hello,
last week my HTC Sensation started random rebooting. Sometimes it lasts longer alive (up to 15 minutes). Though what is interesting, is that my SMS Icon has (1) on it, while after opening the native SMS app it does not display anything, nor I am able to recieve any more SMS (aaand usually it crashes after I open the SMS app).
I do not ever delete my messages (well ... why should I?)
Could it be, that there is some SMS hack which causes the stock ROM to crash?
the phone is not rooted (except S-OFF, which I did just to see if it goes), no crappy apps installed, running only stock ROM. Since 2 months I am not able to install HTC Twitter client (it reboots and I get a blue Android with an exclamation mark and cannot do anything more) and on my SD Card I have ~160MB Free - could that an issue aswell?
Edit: the phone heats up like crazy
It's because the phone is overheating. I have the Xe and it's a nightmare: usually just take the back off, and take the battery out for ~10 minutes and put everything back in.

tried that, doesn't work
had the battery out for 4 days already, even the time settings had been reset.
Curious though: it started rebooting after first day I went skiing with this phone (wanted to do some Runkeeper stats). Outside temperatures never dropped below -10 celsius - could that cause the issue
Have a look to see what free memory you have on the phone and on the SD card, if the phone memory is getting low (below 40 mb ) or the sim memory is low (below 400 MB) then its time to do some hasrh house keeping
SD card is simple if you can replace it with a bigger (and faster version)
If its phone memory, a factory data reset is the simple way around it then use something like App2sd to keep the phone memory free
Lack of free memory is the number 1 problem for freezing and reboot issues into our call centre for android phones
Ooh if I were you, I'd delete those text messages. I save mine as well using SMS to Gmail Backup and have a limit of 70 SMS messages and 5 MMS messages. The rest of it gets backed up.
I don't know if I'm right or wrong but from experience.. saving ALL of those text messages up can slow it down. I saved up to about 20,000 with one person and it was pretty slow. (This was back then when I had an older phone though) However! Deleting it did help. I wouldn't suggest keeping all your messages... imagine if you had a million and the SMS app had to open up and load a million messages. that would take forever, and in your case, might not even work!
Seeing as how you save all those texts... I also doubt that you've wiped your phone. I suggest 1) delete your messages (or back them up) 2) factory reset if it's not yet working properly!

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.
Edit: I know this is in the wrong place, I didn't scroll down enough! I can't find the option to delete and re-post it in the proper place though :-(
Hello XDA.
Ok. Got my x10 in September prior to the 2.1 "update"
Since the update I've had loads of issues.
-Occasionally (upto once a week) everything will vanish. All my apps, my menu is empty and my home screens are empty. I tried changing to pro Launcher but it didn't make any difference. While in this "mode" I can use the phone as normal as long as the app is already open in the background. To fix it - reboot the phone.
-the phone is generally slow. It hangs loading the phonebook, the menu and general UI is slow and lags when doing anything including making, receiving and ending phone calls - and sending texts.
- Occasionally (at least twice a week) my phone will not send a text, ie I have to "resend message".
- Daily (at least once a day, when I notice it) the phone will decide to drop all network communication for no reason. One second I have 4-5 bars then all of a sudden a X appears over the status. It only lasts about 5 seconds and has not actually bothered me because it dosn't seem to happen in call but it's strange.
The major issue is that it's generally slow and sluggish.
I have: Re-installed the OS twice to no help. It's even slow and sluggish with nothing installed apart from the default SE stuff.
So, firstly is this normal? Also, can I just install another android version (eg one from HTC or something) onto the phone - Android is all open and happy so I assume this can be done right?
Thanks
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 devvers,
The last update for the German version of the tablet is not working so well for me.
First things first: the tablet drains a lot of battery power! Have you noticed that too??
And second: when the tablet is almost empty like 7%, the tablet turns off instantly. I don't see the second warning screen because there's still over 4% left. It used to show me the second screen and then when it's really empty, Android powers off.
Turning the tablet back on isn't an option anymore. You have to plug the charger and then it'll boot again.
I'm using a stock rom and no root whatsoever.
Am I the only one out there? :/
Ps. Are there people having a notification showing that the sd card is inserted every hour or so?
Okay, this problem has occured multiple times and today nothing happend and everything went how it should. Awesome.

Self-Healing
With battery drains though, it's better to check your Applications and see if you downloaded some apps that might be using too much battery. Go to Settings/Apps and select Apps running. This will show you what's running in memory.
MD
Thanks for your reply.
Yeah, it's self-healing xD
I did last week and I didn't notice any particular app eating too much RAM memory. I also checked the cached processes, but that wasn't a problem either. I did turn off some notifications from games I didn't play anyway, but that did not really help.
May I ask how much RAM you have left when having nothing running?
I have between 200-300 MB left, sometimes after a boot 300 to 400, but not really that often.
I'm running the stock ROM by the way.
Another thing: Do you have a SD card in your SD card slot? Cause every now and then since the JB update I get the notification "SD Card is inserted". Which I'm sliding away and it pops up back after having my tablet in stand-by modus for a few minutes (perhaps hours).
Edit:
I have to say that I have been installing a lot of apps, but that I deleted a lot of them 2 weeks back. Then I checked my sdcard data (internal data) for any traces of deleted apps, but I was quite surprised how little there was left of traces of deleted apps. Microsoft could learn from that (though it's not Microsoft who makes their uninstallers not fully deleting everything. But am going off topic now.). Could that may have effects on the RAM? I don't assume it will, but just FYI.
First of all, thanks to chui101 and all the other people here who put in the effort to get CyanogenMod to run on this phone. However, I'm having a bit of a problem with my phone slowing down severely and becoming unresponsive, usually at the lock screen. The specific issue is that the lock screen will be on screen, but not respond to button presses, or respond very slowly, and then it will do the "old CRT television turning off" effect much much slower than it's supposed to (think close to a minute), go blank for a while, the lock screen comes back up, another very slow screen turn off effect, and the whole process keeps repeating until I get tired of it and pull the battery to reboot the phone. This issue happens to me with both the 2012-11-21 and 2012-11-25 nightlies. To me, the behavior sort of seems like an out of memory issue, maybe some program is leaking memory or something.
Things that cause the freezing issue:
Power button presses too close together
2 cases of a call coming in while the phone is locked and playing music in Apollo
Things I've tried thus far:
Switch launcher from Trebuchet to NovaLauncher
Set Background Process Limit from "Standard Limit" to "At most 3 processes"
Set "Force GPU rendering"
Remove SD card
Out of those, pulling the SD card is the only one that seemed to help. The SD card I had installed was a 16GB SanDisk Class 2 card with ~3.7 GB of music along with less than 10MB of small text files, ring tones in .wav format, pictures, etc.
I put the 2GB card that originally came in the phone back in, this card currently has nothing but the text files and ringtones and a few pictures.
Is anyone else getting hit with this problem? What can I do to help? I don't know much about android ROM development, but I can handle collecting a LogCat from a case where the problem I'm describing is happening and know a reasonable amount about general Linux stuff, just not Android internals.
Thanks!
I used to own an LG Mytouch Q, the only reason I'm even remotely interested in this thread.
However, you should definitely post in that specific thread, as it's basically the only group of Mytouch owners and they should give you lots more help

I would, but I just joined here so I can't post in the dev forums. I'm hoping someone there will see this post.
Update
With the smaller SD card without all the music files installed, I'm getting less of the freezing problem, although I am not certain whether this is due to the music files not being there, or me not using the phone to play music. I guess the next part of this experiment is to go back to the card with the music files on it but not play any of them. I did grab a LogCat from one of the cases where the phone is 'freezing' and see a bunch of "Application Not Responding" messages, and the CPU usage stats that follow these messages indicate that most of the CPU time is being used by 'iowait,' for instance "100% TOTAL: 0.3% user + 6.9% kernel + 92% iowait". I've read some threads relating to other phones indicating that this could be some process poking around somewhere in storage. I'm thinking that running top from adb shell next time the phone ends up in this state might give some clue as to what's eating the CPU.
Also, I've hit the issue with email message bodies showing up blank that others on this phone, and on CM9 on the non-keyboard LG Mytouch (E739) have experienced.
Hope I'm not spamming with yet another status update, but I tried disabling live wallpapers (going instead to no wallpaper/black screen) last night, and I haven't had any of the freezing problems today. I'll try adding the music files back and see if the problems return then.
* Update 11/29/2012
I put the 16GB card with ~4GB of music back in the phone, used it all day at work for listening to music/checking email/some web browsing without any crashes. (Still with live wallpaper disabled) So, I'm starting to think live wallpapers are causing my problem.
