G1: Cyanogen reboots randomly and sound stops when getting texts/calls

I have a couple problems that I've been having since rooting my phone and installing cyanogen. I'm currently using cyanogenmod 4.2.2 with recovery 1.4 on my t-mobile g1. Also, I have the CM updater.
1. When I am using my stock headset, the phone restarts automatically at random intervals. Also, when the headphones are plugged in when the phone initially starts, the phone will definitely restart shortly after the home screen finishes loading.
2. When I am listening to music through the stock headset (either through the base music app or pandora) and I receive a call or text message, I lose all sound functionality (including in-call sounds) When this happens I have to unplug my phone and restart it again to regain sound functionality.
Are these bugs with the following that others are experiencing that can't be avoided:
1. cyanogenmod or
2. root or
3. cyanogen recovery 1.4?
Am I the only one that has had these problems? Is there another ROM that anyone would recommend that would most likely rectify this?
Help!!!!

I have the same problem.
No idea how to fix it?
G1
CyanogenMod 4.2.2

I think I fixed my own problem
I flashed this new radio:
http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip
Then I backed up my sd card, formatted it, and partitioned it into a main fat32 partition and a 500mb ex2 partition.
Then I wiped and re-flashed cyanogen 4.2.2 and it works!!!

Also, it took me a while to figure out how to partition my sd card. It seems there is no easy way to do this with windows vista. I had to use Ubuntu's partition manager called "gparted". Apparently this can be done without actually installing Ubuntu if you just boot from the CD, but my computer wouldn't read the sd card through Ubuntu until I installed ubuntu and downloaded the updates. Then when I was done I tried to delete the Ubuntu partition (VERY BAD IDEA). Now my computer won't boot at all and I have to find a way to re-write my master boot record (MBR) which I don't know how to do. CRAP!!!

Dude, take your HDD out of the computer, put it inside a USB enclosure and save your data, then just delete all partitions and install Windows again. Next time, you can just install Ubuntu from INSIDE Windows with "wubi.exe".
As for the sporadic resets, I am having the same problem. Only thing is: I had just flashed the 4.2.2 rom in the phone, wiped, and just then, being in the WC, I get a call, take the phone out of my pocket, it slips from my hand and drops right inside the can (yes, it had just been cleaned, Thank God), took it out fast enough, battery out. Couldn't find the screwdriver for it so I shook as much water as I could off, and let it dry in front of a full throttle fan for about 12 hrs.
It reset itself some times after that, but I don't know if the problem is the Rom, hope it is, (sorry). Next thing I know is, there's an update to ver. 4.2.5, so I updated, hasn't done it again yet, it's been 36hrs.
Hope I could help and anoy you some guys...

I have the same problem with my G1 (cyanogenMod-4.2.5 kernel 2.6.29.6-cm42 baseband 62.505.20.17H_2.22.19.26I), had to change from cyanogenMod-3.6.6 hoping it will fix the reboot problem, but it doesn't change
I reformat SD card (1 Gb) and repartitioned it, doesn't fix the problem. The difference is that is reboots now less frequently (with cyanogenMod-3.6.6 it started reboot suddenly and did it every 20min - 3 hrs, now 1-3 times a day).
Seems that it somehow related to WiFi connection, and may be email receiving process (may be free space problem? But as far as i can check there is free space available on the SD card).
If with cyanogenMod-3.6.6 i could assume that some new installed application caused it, then with 4.2.5 i didn't install anything, and it starts rebooting again recently.
Is there a way to write a log or something to see which app caused reboot? It's linux anyway, so should be smth to see the reason, right?

Updated to CM-4.2.7.1 and added a 4GB Class 6 TF

LUKE, I AM YOUR FATHER, NOT...
Just kidding, just couldn't let a chance like this pass me by, sorry .
2 days ago I changed the 2GB TF (which was a class 1) with a 4GB TF, now a class 6. Wiped the phone and added an ext3 1GB partition.
Yesterday I updated the CYanogen Mod to ver 4.2.7.1. Haven't seen another reset since, but it could be that I haven't used the phone much other than for phone calls since the update. But altogether it seems pretty stable.
I just used the cm-updater and everything was done automatically.
If you don't already have it, download it from the market, check for new roms and download the one I said. Please let us know if it makes any difference for you.

Well, given the quality of your initial question, call me unsurprised. I don't have a clue about what you are asking.

are you talking about the media scanning process? which rom are you on and what does it say internal or external memory... either way reboot should fix the issue, pop out and reinsert your external sdcard if you have one.

Thanks for the quick respond, i have both, (internal) and (external Scaning media) It does not go away it just stays stick, i tried the reboot but still the same problem. I was using first theTHE WEAPOND 3.0-R1. I tried other ROMS but still the same...

thats weird I've yet to see that issue on any rom. Maybe backup the files on to your PC and then format both wipe and boot if no errors then place all your files back and see if the issue comes back. If so then maybe a corrupt file or something best advice I have maybe someone will chime in with a different solution though.
I've had it hang at 80 something percent and then just reboot makes it go away, so I don't know what else to say.

Yea i know, But only with these Roms that i Mension. I tried The CM7 STABLE ROM and i had no problems with it. Can it Flashing different ROMS can leave many bugs behind or errors?

Double Photos/Songs issue

Hey guys, there is a strange issue that I found out about just today.
My Co-Ed has a Sensation with official ICS update on it - no root, no hacked apps, nothing related to unofficial.
So the problem is that almost every pic she has on her device and every tracks is beign displayed twice in the gallery and the stock music player.
The file manager doesn't show two of the same files, so maybe it's a problem with SD card. The thing is - if she deletes one track - both of the displayed ones dissappear.
Whay could be the problem and how can it be solved? Should she change hee SD card, reinstall the ROM or try a factory reset? Hope you can help me (and her)

one suggestion is backup everything from the sdcard to a pc and format the sdcard
then put everything again on it

Thanks, we'll try that. Any other suggestions on how to fix this bug?
It only appeared recently, probably because the internal storage/SD card is almost full and there's no space left, or am I wrong?

/bump

When you format your SD card it will erase everything on it so you can restore from computer only what you want restored. So essentially you start with a new fresh card. Or if you want more space buy another SD with more space transfer what you saved on computer and do it that way. Best wishes. FYI Amazon has 64 class 10 on sale pretty cheap. I got one. It works perfectly! You have to format through recovery first to get device to recognise it. You do this by putting card in slot, pulling battery, put battery back in, press volume power at same time, boot into boot loader, press recovery, power for yes, then in recovery press format SD card. You have to get in recovery like this because UN formatted SD will prevent the usual way. Once formatted you're good to go. Device will then detect the card perfectly. It's been running perfectly in mine ever since. I got a great deal on the San disk. Take a look you will be surprised how cheap the 64 class 10 is. Also I tested the SD and yes it's truly the class 10.running exactly as it should. Hope this helps you out. Best wishes

Problems with SlimKat

Hello, i'm writing this hoping that you can help me. I have installed Slim-4.4.3 but have some problem:
Is that i don't have a SD card and can't figure out how to change de default path of camera (i have installed several the last one is Cymera wich i could set to internal but not a specific path ans syas "Storage is full" but i have 5 gb of free space) to the internal storage, and no, buying a SD is not a good option in this country.
I have used Slim_minimal_gapps.4.4.3.build.5.8-60 and Slim-edison-4.4.3.build.5.8-UNOFFICIAL-20140610-1535
and put it in System 1

Try JB+ Camera , there's an storagepath option

I realllllly mess up this time, well i enter Recovery mode (with bmm) and format everything (i was crazy) then in only boot till the 4 options(pressing volume keys + power button Normal boot,Revocery,AP fastboot and BosstTool) and someone burrow me an SD to flash it, but it turns out that give me the error of signature(in update from external, that is in recovery mode) then i learn that i have to use Rsd lite, i download everything, but the phone goes off so i put it to wall charge and i woke and is like nothig (the moto logo goes and keep in that way) i try to conect it to the pc and it shut down, also chargin from pc gives the white led, after 15min the logo appear, and goes black screen, but when i press the power+volume it shut down and it goes only to the white led, should i wait more with pc charging right? im impatient jeje.
It is possible since i format everything the part of charging also i mess it? So that's why it won't charge? If that so what can i do? The only solution i figure it's to find someone with my phone and change battery to flash and see if that works, but again Venezuela it's not a place were it's easy to find solutions, in this case someone with the same model
Thats FXZ rigth?
@KPatrix thanks but before i mess it everything i download an app to view my storage and it turns out that internal storage(something for apps right?) appears not phone storage(i was reading and this is were user files go), so i figure that somehow i was needing to create phone storage and all i could found in google were post related to unistall and that kind of stuff so didn't work to me. In this point i was able to find a solution?

What a mess ...
If it's not convenient for you to get a fully charged battery，can you buy a multi-purpose battery charger in your country? We can buy it everywhere and it's very very cheap!
After that, you can start your steps:
1.flash stock ICS rom
（2.get root
3.install BMM
4.wipe data &cache &DalvikCache &battery status
5.install a Rom zip you like）
You can only do Step1 if you want to use ICS, which is far more stable than unoffical ROMs -few bugs. I think a stable OS is quite necessary for you as your surroundings.
Before you flash, read a guide，follow it strictly.
And, good luck to you!

@KPatrix thanks for that quick response! I use to have stock but i founded lagy and the moved to JB the leaked version and also founded laggy (i guess that was because all the chinesse/motorola blootware) i recover my phone hurray! Again i try with Slimkat and the same result says i have 5gb of free memory but only to apps :S so while i'm writing this i'm downloading liquid-Kit-Kat but i found a video,althought i'm goin to put it in System 1 i'm not planning to add more rom, and starting to think that it needs something more to put it right isn't?
Also forgot to mention the way i have fixed the battery problem was mutilating ans usb cable, and don't come to Venezuela, i've try searching a more easy option to fix and the answers were: "No hay" (There's not) or waaaaaay to expensive

It's again in SlimKat, i've try liquid and still have the same error! Anyone can help to use the internal storage not only apps, i like to save pictures/videos, and it's a problem probably with the roms, so that could be kikat? Please i don't want to use JB or ICS

Glad to see you've solved your other problems.:thumbup:
Unfortunately, this is one that you can't. That data partition that is not the same as having an internal SD card. It only stores apps, app data, etc.

That mean that is not possible to use Internal storage to save images after flashing with a custom rom? Or if i put it in another partition leaving the stock on SYstem 1 will work?

I give up, really, i put SlimKat on System 3 and still can't save images :S, but the main System can (ICS stock). So if there are not posibles solutions that doesn't imply buying something i'm done, thanks anyway for the answers, i will keep visiting this for a posible solution

Maybe your Atrix 2 is different from mine (AT&T) because the internal storage on mine is for apps and app data only. It won't save pictures, music videos, etc to that storage space. An external SD card is required for that.

Probably, mine is not an At&T version and i can use the remaining 4gb or to store apps and music but that only happens in ICS stock, on Slimkat unfortunatley i can't i will leave for a week or so to see if a i can't find a solution.
SOmethin that i forgot to mention on BMM says "unable to mount /int" it has something to do with my problem, then i flash it to stock->root->bmm and stil have the error :S, but it has something to do with that isn't?

Do i need a sd card on my (At&t) Atrix 2 to flash a rom. Im rooted but waiting for a sd card to come in. Can i just flash then insert the card afterwards.

If you have no SD card, where are you going to put the ROM zip that you intend to flash? The AT&T models definitely don't have an internal SD card so, unfortunately, you'll have to wait.

I'm not sure about that error. Try this (if possible both on stock and on custom ROMs) to look for your internal storage. Using a root enabled file explorer, go to the root of your device and look through the folders. There are a few places you're likely to find it. Could be one of the following, among other names.
/sdcard
/mnt/storage/sdcard
/storage/sdcard
/sdcard0
/mnt/storage/sdcard0
/storage/sdcard0
Also if it has both sdcard0 and sdcard1, then those will be your internal and external SD cards. Internal being the "0" and external being the "1". If it shows both then whichever your model is must have an internal SD card, and I will have learned something new. :sly:

I have /sdcard on stock and can access it appear whatssap,downloads,music etc... on the rom nothing appear and they have the iqual permissions.
I have to say that i'm going to debt to buy an SD of 8gb, in the next few weeks (this country is like this unfortunatly) but the doubt is interesting isn't? So thanks anyway!

Will slimkat go on my at&t a2 or do us at&t owners have to stick to certain roms?

Link2SD hangs phone

Hello. I've been using Link2SD to link apps to my ext4 SD card partition with no problems, but yesterday I deleted some system apps and now, after booting and showing the lock screen (I can unlock and use my phone for a few seconds) the screen turns black, but it's still on because I can see the backlight on, nothing responds, even the bottom bar with the triangle, circle and square buttons dissapear.
I hold the power button and it does nothing, I have to force power off by holding the power button, and when I turn it on again, it boots normally, then shows a "Android is optimizing applications",, after aprox 15 mins optimizing apps, it boots normally , and then hangs with the black screen again, and the loop continues unless I remove the SD card and none of my linked apps shows (thats why I guess the problem is with Link2SD).
Can anyone help me here? I don't know if there is any way to log things that happen before the phone hangs, and never had this problem before, so I'm kinda lost here.
I deleted the apps "My consumer cellular" and "My extras", without making a backup first, and I don't know what's their real function. Maybe all this is happening because I deleted them? Because the other are Google apps that I don't think will cause this issue.
I attached the apps that I removed before the problem started.
Thanks for any help.

Wow, glad someone can help me!! Yes! I wiped both partitions using TWRP recovery. Right now I'm experimenting with wiping the ext4 partition (I backed it up) and link some new apps to see if the problem persists. If not, I'll copy all my old apps from the backup and try to boot again.
Strange problem, if the problem persists after all that, I guess I'll have to flash the ROM like you did.
Edit: I noticed an issue that happened to me me before while copying files from the ext4 partition. There were 2 files that I could not copy because of an error, the same error happened to me before with this phone while I was copying apps files from the SD card (FAT partition, using the normal "Move to SD card" Android button). Those file that I could not copy were causing my SD to be unmounted after boot, and I would mount it again and after some seconds, unexpectedly unmounted again!

I can't copy all the files to the ext4 partition, probably the mounting software I'm using is doing something wrong, because I copied the full sized folder from it to my pc. I'll have to reinstall all the apps, but at least my phone won't be hanging again (I hope!).
Did flashing you ROM again solved all the issues for you? Doing that wipes data? I've never flashed another ROM.

If flashing the stock ROM or a custom ROM will solve the problem.
hint:
If you want to do backup applications, you can use the AutoMoto! "Backup / APP" This option is being tested, but so far did not matter with me.
