Browser, market and phone app problems - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear members,
I've searched the forums but I couldn't find an answer to my problem. Maybe you can help me out.
I have a G1, running on firmware version 1.6.
A couple of weeks ago the original Browser stopped working. It displayed the message that it had suddenly stopped - please try again. I tried, but obviously, this didn't work. I simply installed another browser Opera and forgot about it.
After a few weeks Android Market stopped working. Same message: suddenly stopped - please try again.
And since a couple of days, even the phone app has problems. It doesn't receive my calls anymore, but I am still able of making phone calls. I do receive text messages saying that somebody called.
I called T-mobile and they advised me to wipe the phone, but before I do, I just wanted to ask this on this forum.
My questions:
- Could these problems have anything to do with a lack of internal memory? If so, how can I clear up my phone?
- And what happens after the Big Wipe? Will it automatically install the latest ROM with the basic Google apps (like browser, phone etc)?
thanks in advance for any help,
Claudia

problems with gmail

I'm having problems sending messages in my gmail. I have no problem reviving but when I try to send my messages r stuck in the out box no matter how many times I refresh my gmail. I was wondering if anyone ran into this problem and found a solution. I would like to fix this without a wipe and reflash.

Tried rebooting? How about wifi?
Yup tried revolting any I get the same problem whit or without WiFi.
Did you find a solution? I realised this morning, that I can't send mails through Gmail from my G1 anymore. Already tried rebooting, but that didn't solve it. I got no wifi at hand, but will test this evening and post my findings then.
Don't mind it. Just found a solution myself. Just cleared Gmail Apps' data and everything is back to normal. Perhaps that will work for you too, if you did not find a solution yet.
Yep,
I had a problem with sending and updating what was new and was unread on the website. Clearing the gmail storage and the other gmail email cache fixed it right up.
Clearing the gmail storage/data worked for me as well but the solution only worked for a day and then I had to do it again. I will have to see how long it lasts this time around. Does anyone know the reason why this is occurring? While the above is technically a solution, it appears to only be a quick fix. If we can figure out what is causing the problem then it won't happen again.
I can tell you that it happened to me for the first time when I upgraded from Cyanogen 3.6.8.1 to 3.9.8. I downgraded and still had the problem and that's when I cleared the storage. I really don't think it had anything to do with the upgrade/downgrade especially since I used a Nandroid restore which put a stable version back on my phone.
Just my 2 cents.
Well, somewhere I read that this happened to someone after updating / installating an app using the send intent. I am not sure whether it was at that time I updated Bluex, but it may be.
I dwnloaded bluex a lil ago maybe that might be it I'm going to unistall and see
Maybe, but I have to say that I only had those problems once and they did not reoccur for me.
Also I did not have that problem when running the official ROM. But I only had Bluex for a short while on the official, because receiving files made me root my phone.
Any updates on this issue? I don't have Bluex, fyi. However, I occasionally have this problem, and only clearing the Gmail storage fixes it... for a short time anyway. It's very frustrating, considering this is a Google phone and that's my primary email. I need to be able to send my emails quickly without having to constantly clear the storage...especially since I have 75+ mb free on the device and hundreds of mb free on my ext3 partition. As best as I can tell, this also affects synchronizing with Google's servers (obviously)... so if I delete an email on my phone or pc, it doesn't show that change on the other device.

Force close and network errors

Hello,
I have recently begun to experience a major problem with my G1 running the latest builds of Cyanogenmod (currently 4.2.11 but I have had the problem with the last few versions). What happens is that for some reason some apps force close right when I attempt to start them (Google Voice, or any app that has a camera running when it opens) and other apps can not connect to the internet. When I open apps like Pandora or Wapedia it says "A network error occured" or "Could not connect to the servers."
The weirdest part is that not all apps are affected. I can still access the internet through the default browser, and the gmail app. Also the default camera and camcorder apps do not force close and work perfectly. In addition these problems do not arrise for some time after a reinstall.
I have wiped and reinstalled different versions and even started over flashing an HTC update and then returning to a cyanogenmod version. I have wiped all the partitions on my SD card for apps2SD and recreated them. However due to the nature of the problem I have guessed it is some problem with Apps2SD but I cant figure out what it is. I have run the fix_permissions script, and attempted to remove/rebuild the market/app cache.
If anyone knows anything about how to fix this or has experience this before themselves any help would be really awesome. If any more information is needed to help diagnose this problem I will gladly post it.
Thanks again and sorry for the wall of text.
Sorry for self-bumping my post but I would really like some help because I have done everything I know of to fix the problem and looked around the internet for help but I haven't found anything similar to my problem.
Thanks
Im having this problem too and i have no idea what to do about it lol

[Q] BeatMod GingerBread ROM Problem

Hey,
Sorry if my question has been asked before, I have searched and couldn't seem to find an exact match, but I'm relatively new here, and I managed to root and ROM my G1, I put BeatMod GingerBread ROM on it, and it worked amazingly.
It looked great and worked great, but when I downloaded eBuddy Messenger, it kept closing (taking the icon out of the "Ongoing" notifications tab) and then re-opening eBuddy, and whenever I went to open it, it said "Restoring Session - Please wait we we are restoring your session..." and then goes into "Your internet connection was lost for a long time and your session has been automatically restored."
Also, the phone got hot really quickly, so is there anything I can do about either of these issues because I really liked that ROM :/
Thank you to anyone that has a solution

[Q] Whatsapp stuck

Good Morning.
Anyone has problems with WhatsApp? I can install and register the software, but im stuck in the creating favorites section and there's no way to cancel that, i've already try to reinstall the software but the problem remains.
Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem =(
i have the same problem, my phone is hd7 mango
Idem with LG-E900H
it did it automatically for me...i would suggest the old cliche method...uninstall, restart and then again download nd install...
Re:
Already did that process, but the problem remains, also in the review for the application on marketplace several people also complains about this issue.
Get WhatsApp to work
Hi everyone, maybe a good news for you :-D
I had the same problem, installed, reinstalled Whatsapp on my HD7 and nothing worked, still the same old "Creating favorites" ...
But now, after a HARD RESET (completly earasing the phone and back to factory default), I connected to my Live account and installed Whatsapp. Now it work, although it's only getting the Live contacts ... but better than nothing.
I think the issue was in my contact list, or from other apps I installed.
Hope it helps !
Best,
Reza

[Q] Forcing Whatsapp to stay connected ?

Hi,
I have a problem with Whatsapp program. It works perfectly fine when it comes to sending messages, although I have a problem with staying connected. The messages are delayed (sometimes it's even over 30 minutes) and when I simply wanna unlock my phone and text someone, the person won't receive my message until I reconnect my mobile data (grey clock icon on the left of my message). I've already seen many instructions on the net, like reinstalling Whatsapp, rebooting my phone, checking if my sync works and all that, but none of them worked for me. It really starts to annoy me, but I like this program alot and I don't want to give up on it that fast. So is there any way to force Whatsapp to stay connected full-time ?
I'm using MiniCM-2.2.0 with latest nAa Kernel.
Regards
Bump, spent the whole night browsing the net for similliar topics and found nothing...

well maybe you shouldn't give up on whatsapp but the ROM instead. What i mean is, maybe something inside the ROM/kernel wasn't installed properly and you could try reinstalling ROM and/or kernel... I know it's a stupid solution but it saved me many times when i couldn't find the answer anymore

Thank you for your reply. I already had the problem on previous ROMs (I mainly used MiniCM). Maybe I'll give GingerDX a shot. I'll tell you how it went.

Did you leave the app in background? When you leave Whatsapp, dont click back button, try clicking home button?? Dont move app to SD if you did!

i belive that whatsapp is running in background by default, so as programs such as viber, hotmail, etc. but we all know that this can be checked under settings > applications > running applications
but i agree that moving whatsapp to SD could be the problem, although i had no problem when i moved it to SD
I didn't move it to SD card and I don't use any task killer. Process manager says it is running in the background. Still no idea how to fix it.
if it isn't because of moving to SD, and it is running in background, if it isn't because of ROM (you've said that you have used some ROMs before and that there was the same problem), if your data settings work normally (sync and stuff), if the problem persist on wifi and 3g and edge,...
it occurs to me that it can only be due to two things, maybe you installed cracked version of whatsapp due to 1-year-free expiration, or maybe something went wrong when you installed your current kernel
P.S. whatsapp is 70% of communication on my X8, and i understand you very well when you say that you won't give up on it so easily

I didn't crack anything, I'm still on trial. If I wanted to get another free year, I'd change my phone number I also reinstalled the kernel too.
EDIT: Now it works properly on WIFI only. Still disconnects after couple of minutes on 3G.
EDIT2: It seems like reinstalling GDX and Alfs finally worked for me. Thanks for all the help guys
Another update:
after a few hours I'm back to the point where I started... the problem's still there. I'm really pissed off now -.-

It is only logical that Whatsapp won't implement itself right on your phone... This is all ridicoulos right know, because for as far as i know, you almost tried every solution possible, you've changed to other ROM, heck, you've even changed to other kernel and it still doesn't work.
You said it worked for a while, maybe some of the settings you've changed, and apps you've installed AFTER it was all working properly was interfering with your newly applied settings and/or installed apps

I've installed Advanced Task Killer to see if it's the problem with Whatsapp, but it didn't block me from receiving the messages or anything. I uninstalled ATK and like an hour later, the problem occured again. I'll reinstall the kernel and the ROM again and leave it with only Whatsapp installed for a day. If that doesn't work, I might just buy an Xperia Neo V :S
Maybe it's because I connect to another network instead of my providers one ? I have data roaming enabled and stuff and I connect to Plus instead of Play (even though Play says they allow such things). Could this cause the problem ?
Or Swype Beta maybe ? I'm running out of ideas...
I just found out that when Whatsapp's not showing the "last seen" date (not connected), when I enter any website in the browser and return to Whatsapp, it shows the "last seen" properly. But I still have no idea what can this be...

Wait, does it work normally when you are on wi-fi? try to test whatsapp when you are strictly on wifi (wich means that you turn off celluar data, data roaming and national roaming), so that we can definitly exclude the problem of wifi.
if the problem isn't in wifi, try to connect on your providers network (PLAY) instead of other network (PLUS), and see if the problem persists
if the probelm still persists i belive there is counterinterfering with some application...
i know that i'm offering too much possible solutions, but i think that this can only be solved by method of trying out every possibility

As from what I see for the last 30 minutes, it's working fine on WIFI. I also tried switching to Play and disabling the roamings, but it still kept disconnecting.
The apps I have installed:
- Barcode Scanner
- Battle.net Mobile Authenticator
- Dolphin Browser
- exDialer & exContacts
- GG (Polish messenger, but I doubt it causes any errors as I just installed it recently)
- GO SMS Pro
- Real Player
- Root Uninstaller Pro (I only uninstalled DSP Manager)
- Whatsapp obviously
- ColorNote
- Nexus ICS Minimal Analog Clock
That's pretty much everything I have. I didn't change anything in the settings of GingerDX itself. I'm really helpless here...
huh, nothing from that list shouldn't interfere with anything... maybe you should put back ATK and see what exactly happens with whatsapp when it disconnects from network
i'm really running out of ideas
It's pretty simple. It's got nothing to do with your ROM, kernel, 3G or WiFi - AFAIK. Rather, I think it's to some extent do to your connectivity. The app's refresh interval apparently varies. Seems worse when you have many long threads. Deleting a few threads seems to work from time to time. I however use another android device & I assure you the problem is in no way restricted to the X8

So it's normal that I get my messages delayed by around 30 minutes or even more ? I clear my logs every day, so I think the messages should arrive like... instantly :S

Hi,
Do you still have the problem of the messages getting delayed?
I have the same problem since three months now I think.
I have already tried everything you guys said here.
I have no problems what so ever on WI-FI but only on 3G.
I think it has something to do with Whatsapp, maybe even with our accounts in specific.
Did you ever fix this problem?
Because I am having it on my Samsung Nexus S.
I found that when I send a message, and I am running whatsapp in the background I still woulnd't recieve the messages.
So I hope you found the solution and could maybe share? :angel:
