Some background info would be nice.

yeah I had this same problem when i was on an earlier version of CM experimental build, the problem for me was that it would do what i would call a soft reboot, where the android loading screen would appear and load for a couple seconds then go back to the home screen.
I found this problem out in the browser when i was trying to go back to the prvious pagr it would "reset" I dont know the cause but maybe you should get a Log of the error or when this happens and post it here or send to Cyanogen

Yeah some more background information would help us assit you with the issue. If possible create a signature with information about the ROM you use and any settings.

haha easy, my phone is.....unchanged at all

i think he means "all your versions belong to us" or "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"
seriously though no one is going to help you if you don't want to tell us any background info, and if you don't want to, then why make a thread to begin with.

i didnt mean to be a smart a** what i meant by that was everything is how the phone comes out of the box, no rooting, no roms, no nothing, sorry if i came off the wrong way
well here it goes..
firmware 1.5
and build # CRC1
haha thats basically it?

Do you have a custom rom or a stock rom?
What rom are you using?
What radio are you using?
Can you tell us the available memory you have?
Do you have a task manager installed, and are you making sure everything is closed prior to opening new programs?
That information will be helpful in figuring out what's going on. Let us know, thanks! =)
If you don't have one of the newer custom roms, you're pretty much guaranteed to get an answer of "install hardspl / new radio / rom".
If you have a stock rom from HTC... you're gonna hear "reflash the phone with the stock rom, and if it still does it.. return the phone, or flash it with a custom one".
How much warranty do you have left?
Can you also give us a list of what programs you have installed, and which ones are usually running?
Pictures part 1
Thanks for the quick response. There are a lot of questions so i took a bunch of screen shots. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anymore detail.
See second post as i am unable to post all pics in one post.
Thankyou
Pictures part 2
I am also running battibar in the background.
Well, from what i gather from the screenshots you posted everything should be working fine. There's no reason it should be freezing up, unless there is some sort of conflict, or corrupt program.
Have you noticed that it happens after opening a certain program, or is it really random?
Oh, I take it that's a stock rom right? You never flashed the phone, you just installed individual cab files, right?

It seems to be random but then on the other hand ive noticed that it usually happens when its been sitting on the charger and idle (for example, i'll pop it on the charger before bed, and when i wake up in the morning its frozen). Also it happens at work when its connected to my pc via activesync and after i havent been doing anything for a while.

Well... it could be overheating. If that's the case it's gotta go back. How much warranty do you have left on the phone before it ends?
Novice Gadget Boy said:

Well, just like I posted above. Everything seems fine... and since you are using the stock rom you only have a few choices. You can start uninstalling programs 1 by 1... (noting which ones you uninstall so you can put them back on). Go 1/2 a day, and see if you still have the problem after uninstalling each program. That will help narrow down the theory about corrupt programs or conflicts.
Another option, is reloading the stock rom from HTC... and don't install anything. See how that works for a day... if it's fine, then you can start installing programs.... then if the problem occurs, you know it's got to be something with one of the program you've put on there.
Then you could always just uninstall everything, reset everything, and send it back and get a new phone.... but if it's the software causing the issue, and you put the same software back on the new phone.. you'll just be right back in the same situation again.
If you have warranty time left, i'd uninstall everything, and demand a new phone because of teh issues you are having. Onec you get it, then i'd flash with a custom rom... just make sure you do it right. =)
EDIT: Hell even if you don't have any warranty left, i'd STILL flash with a custom rom. I can't even begin to tell you how much better my phone runs now that it's flashed compared to before. I was using the stock ROM before from HTC, i had some issues... it was a bit laggy... so i reflashed with the stock rom, limited the software i put on it.. etc. etc.... still ran like dog piss... so i flashed, and well..... you get the picture. It's awesome now.

10 months. But i dont feel any heat whatsoever, and the other day i was using it at work all day connected via activesync and it didnt freeze up. its only when i leave it idle on the charger.... Last weekend i kept getting messages from friends all during the night while it was on the charger (i was reading messages) and it didnt freeze.
So if it's sitting still for a long time without activity.. it freezes. Hmm... well i could give you a dozen things to try, but they'd just be bandaid fixes anyway. If it's freezing something isnt right.
Read my first post on page 2 of this thread you started and that should give you your options. FLASH!!

Odd issues with pacman

Ok, so i have 5.0.2H, and i can download any other application so far, except for pacman
its not getting stuck on downloading, its actually giving me a black triangle with a ! in the center of it in the notification bar and it says "Declined"... any suggestions?
if not, got the apk for me?
Its protected!!
Is there a way around that? (I use appmanager)

oh gotcha, i figured it would be protected that far, any ideas why im being declined?
Maybe its not compatible with that build
Dont see why it would reject it.
Wonder if anyone else is having a similar issue with Magic Rom
Hmmmm (scratching my chin)

well ive downloaded other apps that didnt work with the magic rom and it wasnt "Declined", plus declined sounds like a much more harsh way of saying "it doesnt work on your phone", id expect google to say something like "not compatible" or something lol

Guess your NOT "I'm Feeling Lucky"
You probably don't want it on 5.02 anyway. Screen is flickering for the first 5 sec to the point where I cant even play it and screen goes completely black after that.
If you still want to try it..... nano-backup your 5.02, revert to JF R33and download packman. Since your apps are on SD it will stay there even after you revert to 5.02.
Good luck

well i never play it, and someone asked me to send the pacman apk since there market was messing up, so i figured id check to see if it was protected, and i was declined, i guess i wasnt used to google saying "No!" lol

Will rooting the Nexus one/Froyo cause problems?

Guys, I had someone here talk me through rooting my nexus one with froyo and I'm running into some problems but I didn't know if it had something to do with rooting it or not and the reason is, I got it rooted the same day I received it so I hadn't tried those functions before I got it rooted.
I got it rooted so I could buy this program that makes the fonts larger and it required a rooted phone.
Well, today I was going to try to use it as a hot spot or wifi router and when I tried to enable it, it just says error.
Also, when trying to call and talk to people today, they could barely hear me and I had a hard time hearing them (not sure if this was temporary or not because later, although in a different area, it sounded fine).
When trying to reply to some e mail (online email/godaddy) when I clicked where the text/body goes, I could not type anything 'cause the keyboard wouldn't come up. If I clicked in the email or subject areas, the keyboard came up but not in the body text area.
Any ideas?
I guess I could reset it to default settings to see what happens but it took almost two hours to get it rooted so I really would like to avoid that.
Thanks
George
This should be in Q&A!
Not dev related.
To solve your problem:
looks like a bad boot.img for me.
I always had "Activiating Wifi"... "Error" with bad boot.img.
MOD: move to Q&A
Thanks. I wasn't sure about where to put it and thought there was possibly bigger chance of a reply here. Thanks for moving it.
So, considering I have NO idea what I'm doing and someone else helped me, is the answer to my next question short and simple or not?
What do I do about it?
No, I have no idea what a boot image is.
Should I try to get hold of the guy who helped me root it or see if someone else can talk me though how to fix it?
Thanks
George

Im not a Mod, I did not move your thread.
The boot.img is part of a ROM.
But I don't know what ROM you're using, what build (FRF50/72/85B/91) nor the kernel etc.
I cannot tell you more right now.
Just try a new rooter update.zip because yours might have broke your WiFi.
See Cyanogen's or re-flash a pre-rooted rom.
Actually, I noticed it wasn't moved yet but anyway, I think I have the 72 but still, not sure, I'll have to investigate 'cause I like this phone and I would LIKE it to work for me. Especially since I can apparently use it on tmobile and att.
THanks
The hunt continues
George
no rooting in general does not harm your phone or cause problems in any way. however it is possible to mess something up, maybe install something or screw up settings or similar that could cause problems. you can always flash back to factory ROM, or hard reset, to get your phone working again.
even better, since you are rooted, you should be creating nand backups. and anytime something goes wrong, you restore to a working nand backup to a state that you know your phone was working good.
Yeah, now I have to figure out how to do this but thanks for the replies

[Q] A weird problem in Kingxklick's Desire2Nexus

Hello people!!
So, here's my problem for today, in that ROM (the Desire2Nexus 1.4 that is) sometimes when i leave my phone in the pocket for sometime it just wont turn back on.
Basically it stays Locked and The power button does not do a thing. The only way to get out of that situation is to take out the battery and reboot it.
Now, the last time it happened to me I tried to call it while it was "Locked", on the other side it seemed like it's calling the nexus normally, but the nexus didn't do anything, it did not ring, did not turn on or anything.
Did anyone here experienced anything like that?
And if this is the wrong place to put this at, Sorry in advance.
Ooh, I guess this is my first post too... yay!!

King had messed something up in the kernel, that was the cause. Try using Evils latest version, with Wildmonks kernals specifically for the ROM. Its really blasing fast.

[Q] Having problems with Android 2.3.4 on Samsung Captivate

Im having some problems with my phone. I recently rooted my phone with the rom found in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232703
Since i have put it in, I am having a problem with a few functions. The first problem is that i cannot accept phone calls. when i receive a call, a black screen comes up, i get the first half second of my ring tone, then my home screen comes up, it shows that i lose signal completely, then my time/date updates. anyone have any idea how i can fix this?
the other problem is that i cannot see txt messages by clicking on the message itself. normally a black screen would come up with white txt displaying the message, i no longer have that. Thats not as annoying as the answering though haha.
I was probably going to switch back to froyo but it would be nice to get this working
In order to get this rom, i rooted with fugu first, then installed the rom. Thanks for the help everyone

Not knowing too much about this ROM, I would 1st try going back to stock/master clear, and try to reflash it again. If you haven't flashed may ROM's I might suggest a ROM that has some serious traffic to it, most of the bugs will get either worked out or identified really quickly.
I don't mean any disrespect to the dev of this ROM at all, but like I said, if you're fairly new to flashing, go with a ROM that has some time in the trenches
It sounds like a bad flash to me so, I'd reflash to stock and try again

Well, if you want a Froyo ROM, I would ALWAYS suggest Phoenix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892973 go to page 1309 for the downloads http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17129309&postcount=13082
If you want to use Gingerbread, Mosaic VI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061203
They are both VERY good ROM's. Phoenix isn't being dev'd too much anymore, but honestly, it doesn't need it. Most deving is going into GB now. If you want GB, give the instruction in Mosaic a good read, they are really clear. Just make sure you understand what you're doing before you do it

No prob! The install for GB is a little more complicated than Froyo. But, most important is read totally before you flash. It'll make your life so less stressful
Also double check what you use to get back to stock. Personally I use Odin 1 Click, but you need to be sure you don't have a specific build number(I dont know which ones they are) Or you could soft brick and need a Jig to get back into Download mode
