My G1 hung - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have problem with my G1.
Sometimes when someone call me phone just start to vibrate and that's all You can't answer or close the phone.... You can't don nothing. And I need to remove the battery cause there is no other chance. And of course after the reboot there is nothing in the call log.
So is there someone who know what is going on or some chance to find a resolution of this because is very annoying.
Thank you in advance.
Regards

hi
well have you tried to wipe reset and/or flash another rom

Well I'm using Cyanogen 4.25 and I have made partitions but I don't know how to wipe partition with all the programs. I have 3 partitions - one swap, one for programs and my rest of the card.
But I haven't try any other roms. Well I was using before JF but this was before cyanogen so ....
What rom will you recommend me to try? Something stable I mean.
P.S Sorry for my stupid questions but I'm kind a lame with that phone.

Hi,
You might want to post this in the Q&A sub forum instead on in the DEV section.
You are more likely to get some help there.
thanks!

Either try difrent rom and see if the problem stops or u can unroot ur phone and call t-mobile

Well I can unroot my phone but I can't call T-mobile because I'm in Bulgaria and my phone is from UK .....
Will try to put other rom but will you recommend some?

!!!!!!
Gaaahhh!! It's a full-blown takeover!
This forum is for Android development! That's why it's called "Dream Android development!!!!"
Questions go in the Question&A forum!!!
MOD EDIT - Reduced size of text. No need for large text.....In my eyes this is just as bad as posting in wrong forum!!!
Here I go... reboot into recovery, wipe your data, wipe your ext partition, flash cyanogen's rom again. Cyanogen's is the most stable rom out there (possibly more stable than stock Android), so I'd recommend doing a wipe (including SD) and trying it again. But really, please ask in the right forum. It seems we get another question thread in this forum every ten minutes, and it really clutters it up and gets in the way of the real work going on here.

Wow!!! Sorry for the post here didn't know that will be so mad people ...
You can move my theme to Q&A sections if is nessesary.
But how can I wipe my SD card with lose any of the partitions? As I told you I'm noob (was able to make partitions by my own but now I don't know what to do)
Thanks for the answers and sorry again.

A mod will move this thread soon, but they are overwhelmed moving them all. It's becoming a hassle.
If you are using RA's recovery, there is an option in the menu to wipe your ext partition. I don't remember if the latest Cyanogen+JF recovery has that option or not. If you don't have it, then use gparted from a live cd, or use sdparted on your phone, to repartition. There are a lot of guides to this on these forums, if you search. (note that wiping ext will delete your apps, but repartitioning will erase all your files as well as your apps, so be sure to back up)

hi
boot your phone into recovery you know home and power ant the go to terminal and hit enter then enter this
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print
there is a portion that is like 500mb and you need to redo that partition it should be #2 so hit
rm 2mkpartfs primary ext2 3437 3937(depending on the size of your sd card)

MOD EDIT - Moved to Q&A forum. In future please abide by forum rules and post in correct forum. Little Tip, read title of forum and ask yourself is my question related to this.

too much work and it could cause errors
in recovery, go to console and
Code:
mke2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

What this do?!
Just now I have wiped all the ext, cache and reflashed the cyanogen mod. Will tell you if this issue appears again.

It happened to me once
I was playing music and playing a game then some one called and the phone hung
I also had to clock it up to 528MHz instead of 384MHz so it can play music and run the game smoothly
I just thought maybe the old G1 couldn't handle the load

Another sdcard thread....cm 4.2.5 apps2sd/swap is locking me up

Hello.. as the title states im having issues.
ok, so i recently rooted my g1when i saw Gnav was live (w00t) and all was well until i decided to partition my pqi class6 4gb partitioned as listed below.
ok heres the kicker.. every thing is fine until i start installing apps then it will just lock up then when i try to restart i get a black screen after the cm loading screen and thats it.. only way to get it back to life is to delete then repartition the card...... i reflashed, repartitioned and factory reset about 10 times and finally gave up and wiped card back to full fat32 and no swap or ext3 then reflashed cm 4.2.5 and have been running flawless for a week now so i have narrowed it down to my sdcard... any ideas on WTF could be going on here?? are pqi cards no good maybe?? it was real cheap i caught a deal on it about a year ago.. something like 2x4gb for 15 bucks shipped. I have never had any file loss when using it just for storage or anything.
heres how i had the partitions layed out
0 3459
3459 3971
3971 4003
i also tried ext4 aaaand out of desperation cm 4.2.4 with no luck
any insight greatly appreciated, I didnt know if i should post this here,in development or accessories but its a Q and im lookin for a A
Thanx

Well I had the same issue with my phone, but I switched over to Amon-RA recovery and it does SdCard partition for you, You just have to enter the number's you want and it does the rest in recovery mode. This is how to flash it on this page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669.
errrm i dont think the recovery is the issue, i really like cm 1.4 for the fact that it has a console
thanx.
Next
Amon_RA has a console too....
if you dont want to use that, then format it through parted with 1.4
Amon_RA's does the same thing but its much easier (he basically added automated scripts to the 1.4 recovery, since it is actually based off 1.4)
Thanx.....but that's not my issue, please thouroghly read my opening post.
Thanx again
Also I should probably add one note here....it don't lock up as soon as I install a app.... I can get 3 to 5 apps in be4 what's explained in my OP happens.

Well get us a logcat of when that crash happens. It seems like bad partitioning but get us a logcat and we can narrow down the issue

ok, i dont know how to do so and is this something i can fetch after the os is crashed via recovery console and dump to sd??
and as i said i am a root newb here.. so i have to ask... if i do a nandroid backup and save the backup to my pc be4 i go through and recreate my issue... will i beable to restore back to how i am now after i wipe and format back to full fat32 (if needed)
also.. take a look below, am i not doing something right here???
i did all the partitioning in parted as below
after removing all partitions i have a 4003MB chunk
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3459
mkpartfs primary ext2 3459 3971
mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3971 4003 <---maybe i should try 4000 and not goto the end of the sd??
then after i'm out of parted
upgrade_fs to get ext3

that seems right..
if you have ADB setup, type in
adb logcat
just before installing apps. When it crashes, it should give error messages which we will be able to help you with. Post it here in code tags or post it on pastebin.com

Yes to the nandroid but your EXT will not be backed up. make sure you grab the right nandroid folder
if you want ext backup, you will need a BART or SwitchROM backup with the EXT backup

haha ok well its good to know you got it working
yeah so far so good.. 1last q...i have read mixed angles on enabling swap on sd.. i saw some1 say if its there cm4.2.5 will use it.. but i have saw ppl say it needs to be enabled.
I have never saw my mem get lower than 20MB should i even bother with swap?
its not enabled by default, you have to do it yourself. You shouldnt really need it on a cyan ROM.

apps2sd question

i searched for this and came up with some links, but none to verify my exact question which is, do i need a certain ROM, or recovery image, i have the RA-dream-V1.5.2. to apply apps2sd, i am currently running the latest cyanogen ROM, do i need a sd card reader or can it be done just by using terminal emulator, and i just bought a 4gb class 6 from new egg, and i was wondering what do you guys recommend for my ext2 partition space to be? so if you guys have any info on this it would be great if you threw it my way thank you!
Most rom have it enabled automaticlly when it sees an extX partition. The recovery is not required, but helpful if you don't have a linux system or other software to create the partitions on your computer. No card reader is required unless you want to format it that way. The only terminal commands you would need would be in the recovery console for you. The space is up to you and your needs and does not increase or decrease performance either way.
See the link below and it will help you doing it the manual way and with Amon_RA's recovery.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Apps2SD
thank you, you were a bunch of help, i shall try this when i get home tonight
No problem, let me know how it goes.
it asked me for swap-size and also ext2-size, im not to sure what numbers i need hmm?
If you plan on using a hero rom put in something for swap, if not put zero. The put in the amount of ext you want for apps. (normally between 256-512)
To upgrade the file system from ext2 -> ext3 use the command upgrade_fs in the recovery console.
Look at the link I gave you and scroll down to the Amon_RA section if you need more help.
it said upgrade_fs not found (nvm)
i got ext2 to ext3 thank you for all your help sorry for being a pain dude...
so to make sure i did it right, how much available phone space should i have?
It varies based on the cache you have for the apps, but I have 68mb but I have been running the same rom for a while. It should be around 80mb if you haven't done anything to build the cache, but I have the 1.33.2005 SPL which increases the internal memory size.
I get the same error "upgrade_fs not found" when I want to upgrade to ext 3 from console. From Amon_Ra's recovery I get an error too when I want to upgrade to ext 3. The other SD card I have worked perfectly with exact the same steps. What is wrong? Thanks
if you amon's isnt there an option that says upgrade ext2 to ext3? i guess thats the same?

well thats good to hear =]

Amons Recovery and Apps2sd

I am sorry for being the billionth person to ask this. But how the hell do you do this? I need a way to do this with out using the sdk thing. I am running the Ubuntu SuperD rom, found here on this site. If i need to switch to the the CM i can if it is easer to do so. Your help would be much appreciated. I have tried to do this soooo many times, Also if once i get apps2sd working. if i switch between roms, all my apps will still be on my sd and i don't have to reinstall anything right?
How do you do what? Setup Apps2SD? Or do you need help flashing Amon's recovery? Or what?
Apps2SD is automatic. You just need an ext partition. Instructions for Amon's recovery are in his thread. There are also instructions for creating an ext partition, on this forum and elsewhere, if you just use the search feature. If you really need help, and can't find it, ask--but not here. Questions go in the Q(estion)&A section. If you ask them here, a mod will lock the thread before we can properly answer it. So, go search, read, search some more, then post in the right forum.
The aps2sd. When i download new apps they go in the internal mem. How do i automatically save them to SD? My internal mem 70.10 mb
apparently you cant read
so long as you have a CUSTOM rom such as CM and an EXT2,3, or 4 partition on the SD card, it gets done automatically with all future apps

I'm Rooted (Eclair 2.1) Now how do I do Apps2SD...?

OK, So I need to do the Apps2SD, as you know G1s only have 70MB storage, I downloaded the application to do it, didn't work, I know I need Pardon my SD card or somethin'...? (I'm 15, I know a-lot about computers, Can someone post an EASY VIDEO demonstration...?) I've looked all over 'n can't find one...
All Help will be greatly appreciated.

lol...you should be on Amon Ra's Recovery....From there you hold Home + Power to access it...and then select partition sdcard. All you need is a ext partition....which it automatically walks you through setting up 3 partitions. Swap (optional), EXT (for apps 2 sd), and Fat32 (for all your files).

make sure you backup your sdcard or you will loose all your data. Download Amon_RA's latest 1.7.0, rename it to recovery.img. Then open up the terminal app and type
Code:
su(enter, and select accept if necessary)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img(enter)
Reboot recovery(enter)
Scroll down to partition sdcard, set it to 0 for linux swap and depending on your sdcard 256-512 MB for ext2. I like ext2 but you can use 3 or 4 if you like. From there, flash a stable rom such as CM5.0.8.
If you want to get more complicated, find and flash the 1.33.2003 so that you get access to fastboot, and from there flahs (via fastboot) the newest radio (and if you want) DangerSPL. Firerat, lbcoder, and ezterry made Danger obsolete, but I still have it because it's just easier. Of course, one of the guys i mentioned is probably gonna jump in this thread and school me about it =P.
Oh and, in the future either ask questions in the Q&A section, the General section, or the sticky at the top for questions.... I won't flame you though since you're new and all but others might not be so nice..
Welcome to XDA-Developers.
Please read the rules of the forum. The development forum is only for development threads. Any questions shall always be posted in the questions and answers thread.
Aside from that, in the settings, in the applications section, you will see the option to enable apps2sd if you're on Cyanogen's ROM.
I was just gonna use Cyanogen's CyanogenMOD v6.00-DS RC1, BIG MISTAKE!
Now my phone won't boot, an I'm out a phone...
Just because your phone won't boot doesn't mean it's dead. Can you boot into recovery? Also, did you wipe before flashing?
OK, So it ain't dead, I just have to find the ROM I want, Which I did.
It's here:
(See the attached Picture for the link)
--------------
I wanna throw this phone into space! It won't load this ROM 'cause it say's :
"E: Can't Find Update Script. Installation Aborted."
Any way I can fix this...? or get it to load on my phone...?
Also, I made my dad get me a 8GB Card (I went from a 2GB)
So, I'ma all set, Now, I have to get this ROM loaded (I'ma need YOUR help, Cause I don't know what I'm doin'...)
(I'm almost 16 )
Thanks, in advance, I'm waitin' on y'all, so now I play the waitin' game...
( I can't load a custom Boot Image until I have a good ROM)
Apps2SD => Market problem
Hello, I have probe for this version. But I see the apps2sd, and I tick it on setup, and I have a ext4 partition with some apps. These apps loaded well, but if I install any, I get error download or package file invalid. Why?
If i switch off the apps2sd everything working well. But I also cannot move.
Why?
How can I use it?

ext & froyobylazo

Hello
I try froyo by lazo rom on my g1 and for me it's one id the best i try ( lite and fast )
But i got a problem with the ext partition, it does'nt apear in internal storage.if i select alowed application move to sd ext it work, but after reboot all the application desapear...
I got an ext4 partition and a swap one done thrue RA
Is this rom need a special ext?
You might have better luck asking in the development thread.

once you choose app2ext,you should reboot your phone,then install the apps.
otherwise they will desapear
Ok. I'm actually on this ROM now, and have been for a couple weeks. Despite the fact that the thread says to NOT use Firerat's ALL in ONE patch, you need to. The options you want to use are 2, 4, and 10 ONLY! Nothing else. This will force apps2ext to work on this phone/ROM combo. I thought all of this was fixed in version 5 of the ROM, but not sure. Any questions, the email is in my info to the left.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
just flashed mine to the version 5.1 from previously ezGingerbread.
So far I can say the install on sd-ext functioned. Just set it to sd-ext and reboot.
Btw I don't install any AIO from Firerat as it is not advised to do so
Ok for me i partitioned again my sd using gparted and now everything work. I think the problem come from RA partitioning.

Take it from not only Tribal but from myself who are two very experienced members, if you don't want your data partition to be eaten up rather quickly then run the AIO patch options 2, 4 & 10 when you flash the rom, tried and fully tested working.

hurmm, could u please elaborate a little bit as i can't really see why my data partition will be filled up quickly.
As for now, every apps that I've installed, just go nicely into the sd-ext partition. (actually I've already read the comment about AIO patch in FroyoByLazslo thread, but just couldn't make my mind) .
And if it is really needed, should I reflashed everything back or I can just run the AIO? Thank you in advance
Update : I've tried the script AIO but got an error saying that MT3G dalvik-cache didn't need to be bind. It is normal ?

i would like to know this too..
You can just run the patch. No need to re-install everything.
Basically, the patch forces your ext partition to mount. Options 2 and 4 kind of work hand in hand with each other, while option 10 is a dalvik cache bind point. If you get an error with option 10, disregard.
In forcing the mount of ext, this ensures that future apps continue to properly install on the ext partition. they will still have a bind point, so don't fret. This is MUCH better than the ext option "possibly" messing up and your precious internal storage gets eaten away. While this has probably been fixed by now, since they are now in version 5.2 at the time of this post, I take no chances. LOL..
