OK I've had this issue for a little while since trying non-stock firmware but it seems really inconsistent. The issue seems to be network related but that's my basic diagnosis. The problem is that I seem to only get notifications if I wake the phone up to check manually.
The best example of this is using any Twitter application where I have it set to check every 15 minutes and it seems like half the time that works fine and notifications come through fine. The rest of the time, something that that happened not long ago too, I looked at my phone and nothing there. I opened Twitter app (I Tweet in this case), refreshed and messages from an hour or more ago popped up.
There's a similar issue I've had where notifications would be there but I wouldn't get the sound notification unless I wake the phone up where they'd be waiting for me. I put that down to using the Hero ROM though.
I thought it might be down to using the Hero ROM but now with Cyanogen's 3.8.9.1 the same thing happened. It's a big issue to me but I don't see anyone else having it. Any thoughts? The only thought I had on it is a data connection issue where nothing is pulled in regardless of settings unless I manually witness / do it. Halp
Damn, i thought i was the only one. I guess not, funny thing is im on JF V 1.51 ADP with HTC Hero theme V1.3.5. Same thing with me, sometimes the texts and other notifications come through fine...other times, i wont get nothing for hours and be like wtf, ill manually unlock my phone and as soon as i touch the button my phone starts vibratin, ringtones go off, a million pop ups and my phone goes nuts. I thought it was just me but i guess not, i wonder what this could be? Maybe its a specific something, lets see what we have in common...
Phone: Black T-Mobile G1
ROM: JF's ADP V1.51 Cupcake
Theme: HTC Hero V1.3.5
Text Messaging Apps: SMS Popup, ChompSMS
Facebook App: Bloo
Also, i have to re-do my email always after awhile because at first it will be fine and ill get the email notifications fine but then after a day or two it always stops working and i have to go through settings, into applications, then to email and delete cache/data. Go back into Email, re type my email, password and everything and then it just starts all over.
Little stupid ish like this is drivin me nuts.
Oh thank gawd.. at least we know that we're not going insane and imagining it! Unfortunately I don't see anything on the phone we have in common other than both ROMs being based on 1.51
Phone: Black T-Mobile G1 (UK)
ROM: Cyanogen 3.8.9.1
Theme: Running Open Home
Text Messaging Apps: None currently
Facebook: Spawn of the debil! Don't use it
I don't use e-mail other than GMail on my phone right now and that works fine as far as I can tell but I get so few e-mails I can't say for sure.
This is a known bug with Android, started before Cupcake. Reboot usually will fix it for a while, I usually reboot my phone once a week or so.
Has anyone experienced gmail sync issues?
Mine works fine for a couple of hours after reboot. Then it doesn't automatically sync. I need to refresh to get the emails. I haven't located the reason why it stops synching.
I was hoping starting from scratch by reinstalling everything (even wiping out the data) with the latest ROM will fix it but didn't help.
Please help.

yes its happening to me too. Works initially but doesn't later on. How do i refresh it?
I was seeing the same thing the past 2 days. I did a refresh about 7 hours ago and gmail has been syncing ok since then. Not sure what's making it work/not work either.
incubus: to refresh, go into the gmail app and then press the menu button. You'll see the refresh button there.
I had this problem intermittently also, Then it just corrected itself.

yeah mine just started working right
You can also sync manually by going to settings>data syncronization> hit menu button and press "sync now"
or go into gmail hit menu/sync

It's working now.
Perhaps, it was the gmail server issue?
is anyone having issues with GMail messing up the contat pictures for your contacts. Mine has removed/replaced them with pics of people that the pic does not belong to. really pissing me off having to go through and updating the pictures every week.

no... mine have worked perfectly since the start. Have you gone onto gmail.com on a computer and reviewed the contacts in question to see if there is some kind of info messed up there?
This gmail sync issue is happening again intermittently. This is a bit annoying.
ive found the sync issues seem to be related to 1.6..
ive switched to 2.1 (and back and forth the last little while), and find the email sync issues only happen in 1.6

Thanks. I confirm this. After upgrading to 2.1, gmail sync works 100%.
Give this a try:

After updating to FRF91, I notice two things.
1) My phone froze at least 3 times since the update when I tried to make a phone call. I had to remove the battery and restart it.
2) My calls are now less clear even with my blue-tooth. When I call someone, they and I will hear static. Sometimes the static is really bad. (no, I am not holding it the wrong way )
Anyone have similar issues?
My Nexus One is NOT rooted.
stock 2.1 to FRF50(manual install)->FRF83(manual install)->FRF91(OTA install)
No issues here. Clean install.
I would agree it seems buggy to me also; it could be the manual update path of updating, but im def getting some wonkyness.
When im on edge at my house, it always seems like WIFI is on demand and not connected (This differs from what my phone used to do and i also have wifi to never sleep); so when i try to access something intially i get a network error then the Wifi connects; then i connect even though im on edge which used to connect albeit slow.
A slight jerkiness when I longpress to remove widgets; don't remember that one previously.
Very erratic battery life; seems to be due to network switching from 3g to edge to wifi; can't really confirm that though; not real rogue apps on my device that are running, but who knows.
Car dock has been giving some force close issues from time to time which didn't really occur previously.
FRF83 more stable
I was thinking of trying to go back to FRF83 as that seems more stable.
I will first try to do a factory reset and see what happens after that.

let me know how that works out; I may do the same. Maybe go back and ota update.
I applied the full FRF85B when I did mine, and wiped cache / format user data from the boot loader. That cleared up issues.
gmail stopped working properly for me.
I have had some issues with my phone freezing up too but my trackball would still flash when i got alerts. I think it might be related to trackball alert because now that I have uninstalled it i haven't gotten any freezes.
I did the factory reset and I no longer have any problems. I am still waiting to see if my dialing still freezes randomly though.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I'm still on frf83 and found that flashing the frf91 gapps has somewhat reduced the freezes/reboots.
My XDA app freezes for a couple of seconds before it responds. Is this app up to date for frf91?

1. Going into Gmail it takes forever to display emails (usually shows the "loading icon" for 10-20 seconds) as if it is only then connecting to the server and downloading new/old emails.
2. Caller ID still does not keep settings when rebooting.
3. Task Managers don't actually seem to kill tasks anymore. Have tried multiple with settings to auto-kill 10 minutes after the screen goes off ... 5 hours later the programs are still running. Obviously just KILLS battery life.

Yeah, obviously, you're using auto-kill, it probably tries over and over and over when they don't actually close.
Stop using auto-kill. Even if it worked you will get less battery life by killing tasks. Read up about it. Only reason to EVER kill something is if it isn't acting nicely and has a bug that keeps using CPU or keeps the phone awake.
Factory Reset works almost all the time
If you got problems after update you should allways wipe (factory reset)
Hey guys,
Did a search but didn't find an answer.
I'm running Nightly 102 and just recently I noticed that my NC's not going into deep sleep like it used to. I lost about 20% worth of battery with my NC "sleeping" for a couple of hours multiple times in the last few days. I'm pretty sure it used to sleep because I remember the screen would do that "shrink down to a single vertical line" animation before turning off. But now it's back to the screen just instantly going dark they way it did before the sleep issue was fixed.
I've also been getting the "Sleep of Death" once a day or so recently. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I just downloaded RC1 so maybe I'll try installing that and see if sleep comes back.

If you go to the spare parts app, look at battery history, change other usage tab to partial wake usage, and have a look there. That should show at least what is causing the problem.
Some of us were having an issue with the Google maps app, and more specifically the Latitude element and its interruption of sleep. If it is just sign out....it worked for me.
Sleep of death is another story that I can't help you with!
Hope this helps you

Thanks I'll check that out. I tried re-flashing 102 this morning but still no sleep.
EDIT: Just checked Spare Parts, but the only thing I see is 1m 15s under Android System and 32s under Google Services. Maps is at 0s.

I think your best bet is to flash that RC1 you dloaded or a latest nightly, alot of good things have changed since the nightly you are on.
Also (though I don't know how you flash) I got some great advice on flashing procedure to help getting a clean install of nightly, and I've been following this for a while now, it is
1. Back up ROM
2. Wipe cache
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash kernal
5. Flash GAPPS
6. Wipe dalvik cache
7. Clear battery stats
8. Fix permissions
9. Reboot
That's what I do everytime via CWM. I also try to flash only on full charge. I don't know if you need to reflash GAPPS everytime but once I had some wifi issues and this fixed it
Anyway thought i wouLd pass this on

I just did all of this (except wiping data) and installed RC1 and it seems to be the same. I REALLY don't want to have to wipe the data. It would be a bummer to re-do all of my screens and widgets again. Is that step really that important?

Most things are fixed by wiping data/cache and even dalvik cache..
if you don't know already Titanium Backup can restore most widgets.
download TiBu
Backup your launcher + "Application Widgets"
Flash new ROM
Restore apps+data using TiBu
open your usual home application..
restore "Application Widgets"
reboot
and tada.
I'm not sure if those will work with paid widgets from LP+ though. Has worked for me amazingly on ADW.
somethings to check for with the lack of deep sleep:
1) live wallpaper. its not with all live wallpapers, just certain ones. if you are using a live wallpaper try using a non animated wallpaper.
2) wifi is off with screen.
3) in maps, log out of Latitude
I hope one of these will help.

Oh no major typo!
I actually don't wipe data every flash, only if I have a recurring issue.
Normally it is just cache that I wipe.(have edited post)
But if you have an issue sometimes its the only way. Follow suggestions above for backing up apps etc.
Its a good practice to backup ROMs when you have one working good so you can flash back if something goes wrong

be careful restoring apps + data.......only restore data where necessary.....sometimes restoring data from a particular app will bring the problem back.
Only restore data where absolutely needed like email, etc.

I did just recently start using Multi-Picture Live Wallpaper. You might be on to something.
I do have Google Maps, but I never use it. I clicked "Don't Accept" to the privacy policy on Latitude. So I don't think that was ever running.

I've found that the "wifi off with screen" is what stops the SOD's for me... If I disable wifi-sleep, I get the SOD's multiple times a day. If I set wifi to turn off when screen turns off, I never get SOD...
Strange...
I never got SOD with old kernel, even when wifi is always on...

What do you use for a Wifi toggle? I have Juice Defender and it seems to work well when I get to work, (it turns WiFi on when I turn the screen on) but for some reason it doesn't seem to work so well when I get home.
Well I've been running RC1 for a few days and changed to a static background. I've been getting good battery life the last couple of days. I'll give it another day and then try using Live Wallpaper again and see if battery life suffers.
I'm just using the built-in wifi "sleep policy" setting (Settings->Wireless & Networks->WiFi Settings, then press MENU->Advanced->Wifi sleep policy).
With 7.0.3 Stable, I NEVER get SOD, regardless of wifi sleep policy.
With 7.0.3RC1, when I leave wifi sleep policy set to "Turn off with screen", the SOD's go away...
However, with the latest nightly, I get SOD regardless of wifi sleep setting!
Very frustrating!
Very strange issue - nobody can seem to nail this one down! I may end up back at 7.0.3 stable - I had ZERO SOD issues with that, regardless of the wifi sleep policy... Battery life wasn't as good, but I can live with that over the random SOD's...
It's got to be some strange combination of things with the new kernel I'm guessing...

Never knew about that setting. Thanks for the info. Hopefully Juice Defender and the built in WiFi sleep policy don't conflict with each other. We'll see.
Here is a few more details about my SOD issues... I've been changing one setting at a time to try and determine what is causing it. With the latest nighties, even with "wifi sleep policy" set to "never", I am not getting anymore SOD's (so far at least).
All that I did was to remove my Outlook email account from the built-in email app (still have Gmail configured via Gmail app though). Since removing my Outlook email account from Nook color, I haven't had any issues! I'll keep everyone updated...
Does anyone have an Exchange AND Gmail account configured but do NOT get the SOD???
Bummer. I changed back to Multi-Live wallpaper this morning and not only is it not sleeping, (down to 87% from 99% in about 3 hours with no use), but I got a SOD which I haven't had for a few days.
Guess I'll switch back to static wallpaper.
@darien87 - Just curious - do you have an exchange mailbox setup? What about a gmail account?
Well, I am thoroughly convinced now that setting up an Exchange push email account in the standard mail app was causing my SOD's. Haven't had a single issue since I removed the exchange account (left gmail account set up in gmail app though)...
Can anyone else attempt to validate this theory? Of course, it could be a combination of an exchange email account and something else as well... who knows - would love to get it resolved though!
Came home from dinner tonight and set my phone down on the nightstand, went downstairs. Came back up, phone is dead...plugged in, but now I can't do anything. Every time it boots (even in safe mode) I get process system not responding and the phone is stuck. I can't do anything from this point.
No issues at all up to this point...it's like the phone just randomly self destructed. What do I do? I'm still on 5.1, no recent backup because like I said I had been having no issues at all....I am rooted with xposed, amplify and greenify, if that makes a difference. Stock 5.1 otherwise...
I did try booting to recovery and wiping cache...no dice. Did the android is starting with upgrading apps thing, but then back to this nonsense again...
HELP PLEASE!
Install a ROM or flash factory image with fastboot.
Assuming you left USB Debugging and OEM Unlock enabled in Developer Options, your best bet is to flash a new ROM.
EDIT: @scryan beat me to it.
interestingly, i was able to get it to boot long enough this morning to (slowly, between all the 'not responding' messages) get it to disable everything in xposed and reboot again...now it seems to be working. seems something in one of the xposed modules completely borked the system. any idea how that could happen after running smoothly forever really?
also strange, it seems most of my settings have gone back to factory...for example, i use chomp for sms, but on the reboot it's bringing up both chomp and messenger notifications (even though i had chomp set as the default SMS client).
edit: it was amplify causing the issues, it seems. there must be something in the new version that fubar'd my phone. i turned every module back on except amplify, and the phone is good again...
