What's up guys, for those of us lucky enough to be using the G1 already, put of a list of what bugs that need to be fixed and improvements that need to be made. Since anyone can develop 'droid, the more nags are brought up, the more likely they'll be fixed.
I've noticed the following.

2) USB connection - not sure if this is a windows error or android error, but I get an "I/O device error" when connecting. Using an 8gb sd card.

>>> Since RC29: no more I/O error, but now getting "No Disk Found." Android does indicate it has a USB connection though.
3) No indication of sms received if screen off and phone on silent. The status light will blink green for a notification, but with charger connected there's no telling aside from vibrate
I edited this original post a bit since the RC29 update - if there's one thing I can thank that update most of all its the speedup on the camera time. I have kids and you can't get them to hold still for nothin! After the update I was able to snap pics with them swinging at the park even and they came out fine.
bt and wifi
Hey, im not positive but im pretty sure you can make a shortcut to things like settings on your home screen, so then it would only be maybe two taps away? idk, i gotta wait two more days to be sure =/
shortcut only available to settings not directly to comm manager AFAIK, which only takes it to 3 taps.
When you choose to reply to a message from a notification it does not go in the subject feild but instead to the sent feild. (I want to type right away its a habit and when I do its in the contacts...
Hey,
For accessing the SD Card make sure you go to settings - Storage and SD Storage Settings, and enable USB Mass Storage Mode. If you go to Android Market - there is a program called AnyCut 0.6, you can make a wifi toggle button and bt toggle button on the home screen.

Which Android Market is that? I looked through all the apps today and didn't see anything like that.
The marketplace should be back to normal tomorrow for the release. They've been updating all the apps and the marketplace itself for the release day.
good point, B. I hadn't thought of that.
The only other app I need is for Google Docs to have the ability to edit. I didn't realize until I started trying to input numbers into a spreadsheet (my workout stats, gym geek, I know) that I realized that's read-only.
By the way, what's the point of a read-only spreadsheet? That's like having a fridge that opens up and just has pictures of food in it.
for some reason the music app won't play my mp3s?! any ideas?
I've noticed twice now that my phone just stops recognizing my SD card. I have to take it out then put it back it for the phone to pick it up.

Happened to me as well.
2GB SanDisk microSD
Please add this bug to the list. microSD card is unmounted randomly and must be reinstalled to remount.
1. When the phone is off and connected to via USB cable it didn't seem to charge. At least the charging LED didn't come off if the phone was off. But then again it might be charging and just might be a bug in the led.
2. Cannot save images sent via MMS sent from other G1 users. This needs to be fixed.
Battery life is disappointing
I am sure it is because of the newness, had to charge the phone 3 times yesterday. This morning had it off the charger for less than and hour and phone was down to 70% charge. I just disabled autosync and gps, lowerred the brightness. Wil see how that affects things.

5) Not a bug; but another WinMo thing I am used to - Wifi and Bluetooth need to be more than 4 taps away. There might be an app to fix this but as for now - going to wifi/bt isnt simple.

There is an app call Any Cut that allows you to make all kinds of custom short cuts on your homes screen. I used it to get to wifi/bluetooth in one tap. Its an awesome app.

I can only get it to get me to the wireless settings.
Lost in call audio
For some reason lost all audio incoming and out going on a call, it showed i was in call but i could not hear anything and the caller could not hear me. I did not change any settings, was on a call like 10-15 minutes prior to this with no issue.
I was able to clear the issue when i soft reset the phone.

It's in the same category "Activity"
There should be a "Bluetooth Settings" to choose, I have both on my screen now. Maybe in an update we'll be able to edit the icon from Any Cut.

Is it an Android bug? or is it a bug with a select few handsets...this has never happened to me so far...or any/most of the members of the android community.

Open Any Cut and select activity. The scroll down to WIRELESS CONTROLS. Select that and it will make a short cut for you. When you press the icon it should open the wireless controls, there you have access to wifi and bluetooth.
ever since the android port came out and i tried it ive loved how the hardkeys light up when you touch them and then immediatly go away. is there anyway to get that on wm?
yeah same here. thats so f#$*n awesome
love to have it on wm
soulds like it would require a touch detector hardware system along with the full preasure detector there already is

it already works with our device. Its just part of the android port that can be found here http://www.htc-android.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=237
im suprised no ones tried to do this yet?
i have to say i honestly loved that too. though i would miss the touch to light up all keys so i could see them in the dark. then again, thinking as im typing, i would trade for the android style. i dont think i can make up my mind!
Mine does that already.
are you running android or something? if you got it to work with windows share with the class.

How did you get this working?
Please share what you know
android still doesnt let us make calls texts or data on our raphael right?
yep, no sound, data, text, phone, proper keyboard support, wifi, bluetooth. but atleast the capacitive navipad works.
haha that navipad is most important
i tried using android last night followed the instructions . how long did bootup take for you guys? it sat on the text page with the blue box for like 40 minutes and never went farther
Wow, didn't know we could boot Android on our phones.
I didn't try that yet, because from tomorrow I will be traveling for a week, and I will need my phone.
I downloaded it though, and on the installation instructions it says to launch haret.exe, I didn't get that, is this some kind of virtual machine, or will it shut down WM and launch Android?

It shuts down WM and launches Android. It isn't a permenant flash because not everything works on it. Android itself loads fine, but there are still some key linux drivers that are required for normal day to day use. The more important thing is the microphone/speaker. The phone works and things like SMS.
player you have obviously had it working
how long does it take to boot for you?
i have the tmp folder on my card with the boot folder in that. in there i click haret18.exe then the box comes up saying it will run default.txt then linux starts and i just get all the small writing on screen but it never goes farther
EDIT- i was told it must be the wrong version. i have the fuze so which raph is that? i tried two diff versions already
you need to either rename the text files in the boot folder or choose the one you want.
If you have the fuze use the raph100 I think it is...don't have my phone on me, but it isn't the 800 one.
I just renamed the default.txt to something else and then the default _raph100 or whatever to default.txt and it worked fine.
Before I realized this I had the same issue you did.
thanks i got it running
so is there really anything we can do at this point? or just play around with the home screen
soooo anyway back to the question i asked... lol
has anyone or is there a way to make it work to when you touch the pad only the area you touch only lights up like it does in the android port?
Wow after loading up the latest port of android, I finally understand what the OP means, this is really cool! I would love to have this. Not only does it look cool, but it will actually reduce error due to pressing the wrong part of the button.

No, as of right now nothing is really working besides Andriod running. No data or voice services work yet...
you can mess with home AND navipad. cant forget what this thread is all about. i think the fact that you can run android and do it without wiping wm is pretty amazing. theres alot of work that needs to be done if you are planning on doing something useful with android. the phone was meant for wm and is set more up with drivers, configuration, and development for such. hopefully in the future it will do both well and your epeen length will grow as you show off to everyone what your phone can do.
All of a sudden today, my screen turned off after like 4 seconds. I pressed power and it just flashed momentarily and turned off immediately. Every time I pressed power, it did the same thing.
I rebooted. The ASUS startup screen showed fine. Then as soon as it booted in, same thing.
I tried wiping all data, and then rebooted. Same problem.
Since it only does this when booted in, I'm thinking it's a software issue. But how the hell do I fix it if I can't get the screen to do anything more than flash on for less than 1 second?
When I'm plugged in, the screen works fine. I'm so confused...
UPDATE: For some reason, when I turn on automatic brightness, the problem goes away. But the second I turn off auto brightness, the screen immediately shuts off and the problem repeats. And auto brightness keeps the screen on a really low setting.
Urrghhh

This is a well known and well documented issue that could have been easily found by searching. Your thread adds to the 3 or 4 that already exist regarding this issue.

I do recall reading similar reports earlier, but from my memory, there seemed to be some differences. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry for inconveniencing you for a whole 5 seconds
Side question: have you ever tried to get decent search results? It's extraordinarily difficult given that terms are used for multiple purposes, and not all the language is universal.
After going back, and reading a ton of threads through manual forum-browsing, it seems that I was correct about most other problems being distinction from this. Only really found one other mention of this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078331). So perhaps YOU should search before telling people they should search.
Anyone have thoughts?

I do search and I am subscribed to other threads that I check daily regarding your same issue. Ill come back to this thread and post the links to those other forums so as to keep the TF general thread from being overpopulated. And even if your problem IS unique its still very closely related to others in the forum link you posted and would still be more appropriate to post there rather than creating another thread.
I have the same exact problem as you and I want it solved just as much as you but I would I also like the ability to easily navigate this forum and that's only possible by keeping related threads from happening.
Sent from my TF Decepticon
For now the only solution seems to be to keep hard resetting your device (hold power for 10+ seconds) several times and keeping a manual brightness. I had to hard reset my device 8 tines before the screwn would stay on. The reason that your backlight is shutting off when you turn AB off is because of where your manual brightness is set and chances are it's set too high which seems to be the common cause. Keep hard resetting your device until manual brightness is allowed then set MB to a lower level. This issue happens on AB as well when in a bright area and it sets the brightness to high on its own.

I wonder if it can be fixed if you use the dock's brightness adjustment keys?

Hate to jump in you but do you see the inherent contradiction in that statement? If the search tools are adequate then the number of similar threads should not matter as they can sorted by relevance. If they are not, as your desire for single threads suggest, then asking a new person to use them to find an answer is not appropriate as it isn't going to be successful. I've found that the bulk of the posts aren't technical so a search for the appropriate terms is pointless and a simple question is more likely to get results. For example, when calling on webcore, lcd brightness is being set to 0. This is in the logcat I took when testing and I get nothing when searching for it. If I search for 'black screen', I get something.
Let's remember we're here to help each other. Being inclusive and welcoming to newcomers is a much more positive way for us to find results.
Cheers,
Todd.

I have this problem and the dock is the only way I can get the screen back on. I have to press the auto brightness button then press the power button to get the screen on.
If I manually increase the brightness from 0 in steps I can get to half way but then the screen goes off. Similarly I can reproduce this by using the slider to increase the brightness. I am trying other ROMs to see if I can get rid of this issue but so far it happens on Stock & Paul O'Brian's with full resets on both. sigh.
After endless reviews of the logcat files, resets and roms, seems I can't find a solution. Going to rma it unfortunately!

So RMA is the answer?
Yes I rmaed mine to Asus. Only took them a a few days to fix and ship it back to me.
Thanks. I better unroot mine and get it sent.
Having this problem.
My daughters Huawei Ideos U8150 has a cracked screen, you can not unlock the screen because the crack is right in the middle of where you slide the unlocker.
So the phone although can be used to receive calls, can not be accessed via the screen.
She has also managed to somehow set it to not unlock the screen when receiving a call(no idea how she did this).
So I have 0 access to the phone.
I have a program Lock_2.0.apk but can not just install it with ADB because her phone of course is NOT in development mode.
In the custom AmonRA recovery, I can enable USB, and ADB will see the phone as "recovery".
But if I try to install the app that turns off the screen unloocker it says "/sbin/sh: pm: not found".
All I need to do is install that app to remove the screen locker and the phone is useable again.
Any idea how to get it into development mode with adb? Or some other way?
Thanks.
Sorry to dissapoint you, I don't know. But I want to know how's the the phone? I want one to give it to a friend, is it good?
You can buy a used phone on ebay, i saw them cheap.

Screen is broken has a crack but its still useable im not buying her another one she has to learn to take care of her stuff.
But this problem is ridiculous its the screen lock that's causing the problem because you can still use the phone if it wasn't for screen lock.
There must be some way to install the no lock program.
Well, you can try to install a VNC server and access it via WiFi. Or you can try to make a factory reset... it will reset the lockscreen
And if you still interested:

Wifi is not turned on either
The only thing I have to do is install that un lock program and it will be fine but this is easier said than done.
Well, you can try, in recovery, to push the no lock apk to the folder /system/app and reboot... may be you can be lucky enough

Generally we very much appreciate users helping each other with questions, but not when the thread hasn't had any activity in around a year. That means the person's question has either long since been answered, or they've moved on to another device, etc, etc. Thread closed.
Seems like a security flaw. Anyone can pick up my phone, plug it into a USB port and copy files within seconds. Normally, you'd have to at least have to reboot into recovery, which requires a forced reboot and knowing the proper keys to do that and to enter recovery. As it stands now, even a child could plug in my phone and access the entire SD card.
It's also annoying that if I plug in the phone to my PC to charge while I'm listening to music on it, I don't get the lock screen where I have music controls. I instead get the USB mounting screen. I just have to press the Home key to show the lock screen, but it's been bugging me.
Is there any way to disable this? It wasn't this way in CM 10.1.

Your useless answer is unappreciated. I asked two simple questions and you answered neither.
The fact is you can't disable it. The answers I gave are perfectly valid if you don't want want the ability to mount the sd card via the lockscreen. If you're allowing your phone to get into a position where someone can access it like that then what I'm saying is maybe you need to reassess the level of personal security in regards to the device.

>The fact is you can't disable it.
Now that is an appropriate answer. Thank you.
The main topic question was "why?" Why this change in behavior? What's the philosophy behind it?
I'm sorry but I don't know why they changed it like that.
Sent from my Evita
I remember CM9 behaving like this in certain versions, but then it went away, and I never had it in any CM10 versions until now. It's like the developers can't decide how they want it, or it's some sort of mistake or bug.
It isn't the fault of developers here, I believe you can thank Google for that feature.
Sent from my Evita
If you want it to not be like that, go and decompile some file and change the permissions.
Speaking of Google, I'm excited for the new Selinux policy from the NSA researcher. It'll be fun to see ChainFire at it
