Weird G1 Problems - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I haven't used my G1 for about 2 years. I recently broke my LG G2X (dropped it at the river) so I started to use my G1 again.
It blows my mind how far Android has came in 2 years...
So anyways, I rooted my phone, running Gingerbread on it and all of that fun stuff.
Two weeks have past and so far nothing was wrong with it but one day my battery drains and then that is when all the problem starts.
It seems the battery wouldn't hold a charge so I bought a new phone off of craigslist ($35 G1) and used the battery on it.
The phone now holds a charge but my phone keeps unrooting itself and I have to re-login to all of my accounts.
Also sometimes when my phone dies the the bootloader screen comes up and it says no image file so I have to reflash it.
I have to do this so often its ridiculous and it seems like the phone only works well when it is charged up to something. What is causing the phone to reset itself?
THANKS GUYS!

Diamond Shutting Down

I don't know what is happening but the last 2 nights my Diamond turned itself off during the night.
The first night it was due to my diamond having a battery leak, my entire battery drained during the night so I couldn't turn it on until i charged it.
But last night was different it just turned itself off and this morning i needed to switch it on again, when i did it was fully charged :S
Are there more people experiencing this problem and if so, what is the last thing you do before laying it away for the night?
I usually kill all programs (with the default menu in the topright) and then run oxios closeapps.
I'm getting the same thing. I have a UK T-Mobile MDA Compact IV (HTC TD).
Last thing I do is close all progs and leave on the home screen plugged into the manufacturer supplied AC charger.
When I awake in the morning 5/10 times it's shut down, no idea why though!
Might be a heat cut out while charging thing?

I think your handsets are fautly. if you have warranty just send them for repair. and if you are withing the 28day limit then get a brand new replacement
dead as well
same over here Netherlands t mobile, phone runs for half an hour and then its dead , only to wake up after taking out the battery. I have already flashed the phone so , BeyBey phone???
mine is uk tmobile and have seen it just shut down without warning
i knew the battery was low though, it was also damn hot, switching back on whilst connected via usb would see it get a few seconds into booting before black screening on me again
cant decide if it needed more juice in the battery or cooling down before i would start properly
as i didnt get a low battery warning, which i know does work, i am suspecting over heating - it was serioulsly hot

Hey all.
Flashed my compact with the following
Olinex 1.40 Hard SPL
Shone on 1.4 WWE Rom
1.00.25.05 Radio
I also swapped battery with the wife's HTC Diamond for a few days then swapped back (may make not a drop of difference) but the closing down issue has not repeated itself at all.
Good luck & hope my information is useful

I've had my MDA C IV for a month now, it happened to me for about 3 nights in a row, a few weeks back. But not had the problem since. Not flashed the phone and only installed a few apps.
Somewhere here is allready a thread where many people are reporting reboot of the diamond over night while it is charging. They stated it happens only with device plugged in, so perhaps all posters in this thread have encountered the problem also with plugged in Diamond.
Because so many have this issue perhaps it is not a faulty device, but a faulty design of it. If only loaded my device once over night and did not payd attention to this, but I fear my device will do the same thing.
I haven't had this problem, but then I have never charged my phone overnight. Why do that? The phone can be recharged quite quickly. When i am at work, I simply connect the phone to my laptop USB. Syncing and charging at the same time. That's about it. Indeed I have never used my charger for the last 2 years with my Hermes either.
hi guys,
im having the same issues, maybe worse, im new so please be nice...
i came back to my phone and the screen was black, the only noticeable sign of life was the ''breathing''...
as i normally do i pressed the key to turn it on but this time it wouldnt turn on...it was as if the screen was frozen...after a while it came back on but than the phone was frozen...tried pressing more keys and than the screen went to a ''static'' like display (like what u get on a tv)
the phone then turned off for no apparent reason...after a few minutes of repeating this i decided to do a soft reset...
its back to normal...for now.....
the battery is full...
thoughts?
Thanks
Had a the same thing on my Touch Pro a couple of times. Sounds like a common fault.

HTC Diamond - Dead?

Well, it was working yesterday and then this morning - nothing.
It doesn't turn on or anything, I've got two batteries - original one and a 1800mhz one. I use the 1800mhz one. I left the phone to charge overnight under my pillow(as I do everynight) but woke up this morning to find that it was completely dead. I haven't done any ROM updates in about 6 months, so can't see if it's anything to do with software. Only thing I can say is strange is the fact that when I plugged the phone in to charge two days ago it came up askin me if I wanted it to be with Active Sync or a Storage drive. I have it set so it goes with the Active Sync and not to ask me again.
But I've done what all the other people with the same problem as me have done and removed battery and sim card and just use the wall charge/USB for about 20-30 minutes, but it still doesn't turn on.
I've tried all the hard resets and soft resets, obviously that won't work.
Any solutions? I've just received an email from HTC sayin that it needs a repair.. but wanted to see if there's anything else I can do before I send it away.

I guess you noticed that while charging the phone gets quite hot. So why are you keeping it under a pillow so the heat can't spread?
I think that HTC is right and and the device needs some hardware repair.

Well I've done that since day one and it makes no sense that it randomly just died this one night.

Because you are slowly frying your CPU?

[Q] Battery

How do you know when its time to get a new battery? I have several cheaper back-ups and a few of them will shut the phone down when I plug it in to charge. I had just flashed a new rom and thought something was wrong with it because my good battery was in and was rebooting my phone like crazy and would shut off when I plugged it in. I then put another cheaper one in that works right and problem solved. So I put my good battery that was acting up in my girlfriends cappy and everything seems fine. Does anyone know how or why this happens or if it can be fixed? Can I get a new one thru att if I have insurance?

[Q] Quetion regarding Heat issues for the Veterans..

Hi everyone..
I was wondering, is it possible for an app to overheat and eventually fry your battery and/or phone?
Last week I posted a that my phone died and Hicks responded that my battery died and tha I needed a new one.
Went to the Verizon store, got a new battery, plugged into the charger and within 20 minutes that too got fried as well. So it was the phone.
At the time the first incident happened, I was plugged into the car charger while running the WiFi hotspot for rooted phones. I've done this before with no problems for the past 5 or so months.
Is it a simple matter that my phone simply just died? or is it possible that an app can cause this issue? Thoughts?
They overnighted me a replacement Revo (thankfully NOT updated to ZV8) and would like to root and use the WiFi hotspot once again, but am concerned now.

Galaxy Gear PermaBricked?

I have an original Galaxy Gear, model V700 as always. A few months ago I had rooted it and flashed _nullrom to it. I grew bored of it and the battery life sucked worse than stock firmware so I reset the entire watch. Everything went back to normal, but maybe a month and a half ago I had offered it to a family member as a Fitbit replacement. They declined, so I just put it in a drawer and it eventually died.
Fast forward a month and a half later and I end up getting a Galaxy Note 5. I remembered I had my Gear, so I tried turning it on: No success.
I tried using the crappy 3rd party cradle I had gotten when I had bought it used: No success.
Tried at least 15 different power bricks/mUSB cords: No success.
Finally, a few days ago, I ordered the original charging cradle. Plugged it in. Still no success. I got a few half second flashes on the screen of the battery with the spinning watchhand on it, and I rarely get that, but so far no luck. I'm sure it charges as the watch and the case get warm, it just doesn't want to power up. It's not the screen as it flashed a few times. I unplugged and replugged the battery when I first took it out again. Any ideas guys? Don't wanna waste 250-300 on a newer Gear when I have a perfectly (un)usable watch right here...
This (half a second flashes) was the exact symptom I was having. Fixed by replacing the battery, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-gear/help/sm-v700-battery-replacement-t3406665
Gear now fully operational, charged, everything working. Not difficult if you have some repair skills and tools.
