What sort of set up are you running there?
Stock, non-rooted N1? Or did you upgrade to FroYo over an existing install using Paul's zip? Any applications installed? When is the phone freezing?
Would love to help, but I think we're going to need a little bit more information from you first.

Previously rooted N1 back to stock rom prior installing froyo from Paul's direct install file for rooted N1 because I lacked stock recovery image.
Basic apps installed like ebuddy news apps etc. didn't install anything different from old install.
Like I mentioned phone stalls in while in sleep mode. Need to pull battery. Cannot soft or hard reset phone.
Ive been reading a lot on xda and didnt notice this occurring in pther phones thats y i decided to open a new thread.
Any help is appreciated thanks!

Did you wipe? If not, usually a wipe helps. I wiped and have not had a single issue of FC...Freezing or anything. I went from Enom to Wipe to Paul's Zip with Radio.

I have the same problem. Until now the screen stayed black after the other party ended the call. Had to pull battery 3 times.
Problem exists even after reflashing, wiping and clearing storage.
Im om pre-rooted frf50 from paul. Gonna try with an older radio..

does it work?

Im having similar issues with my 2.2 installation. I have it installed on my wife's non-rooted N1.
Not just that but the market is not even usable. Even if I clear cache.
Again, her phone is not rooted, I wipped everything from her phone then applied Froyo and its been a nightmare. Her phone isn't even stable enough to use and I cant seem to figure it out.
I need to find a way back to 2.1 without having to root her phone. She is adamant about me not doing that to her phone even though Ive rooted all the phones I've ever used with no issues.

I was having the same problem on my N1. Started suddenly two days after the manual upgrade to 2.2. The phone would either freeze to a black screen or sometimes the live wallpaper would continue but the phone was unresponsive even to the power button. Needed to pull the battery to restart.
It stopped after I:
* Turned off live wallpaper
* Uninstalled LauncherPro Beta
* Removed the Pure Calender Widget (was broken after 2.2 update anyway)
* Charged the battery (was down to below 10% when it started happening repeatedly).
Anyone one of them (or none of them) could have been the culprit. My guess it was one of the last two (PureCalender or battery) but haven't had time to troubleshoot it. Try some of these and see if it helps.

Ive tried all that on her phone. I just wiped it again completely and re flashed just in case that was the issue. Phone still had all the issues described in this thread.
I wiped the sd card, wiped all previous system files via the stock recovery and re flashed the update zip. You cant get anymore clean than that and its still so unstable the phone its unusable. I have to either hope soft booting works or pull the battery as a last ditch.
Is there any way I could downgrade her phone to 2.1 without rooting? I tried the shipping rom in the sticky above but it seems that isn't totally legit for stock use because the phone doesn't like how its signed.
I guess I could call google/htc tomorrow but who knows where that'll get me. The only bonus iud that her phone is not rooted so she didn't really have her warranty voided.

I was worried if I was the only one with this problem. Phone improved today (3rd day of using) but I didn't do anything to it. Only hanged once when someone called. Hanged on calling in screen and had to pull battery.
Only once compared to 7 times yesterday!

Yes until now it does. Sometimes the power button is reacting a little late but i havent had to pull the battery yet with the older radio.

You might want to download it again and flash that to see if you had a corrupt download. First copy all data from the sd and partition it. Just make everything fat. I havent used the stock recovery in ages so I cant recall if you can partition from there, if you cant, do it on the pc. Wipe everything that the stock recovery can wipe. Then try to flash your new download of the update. You can do this fairly quickly and its worth a try before you go through the process of reverting to 2.1.

I'll give this a shot when I get home from work. I'll report back on if it works or not. Thanks for the idea.

Interesting, not that I'm complaining, but after a few days of using 2.2 it seems more stable now....? haven't had any freezes today...yet.
Power button response also getting better.

I haven't had any issues for a few days as well. Still wondering if it had to do with the battery level.

Older radios are not 100% compatible.

[Q] Application installation in ICS ??

I am using stock ICS, upgraded through KIES. But still i'm not able to install applications that have been downloaded as .apk. The install button in the installation screen doesn't seem to respond. But once i boot into recovery and wipe data, i get to install once and the problem is back again. Can anyone please help me out. is this common with ICS or am i the only one at stake ?

It's not common in ICS..
Anyways Be careful
Data wipe in ICS is not recommended...
It can be dangerous...

Do you know any reason why im not able to install applications?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Have you ubticked allow install from unknown sources in settings?

Are you sure the apk you are installing is compatible with ICS??
Maybe that are made for GB..

Obviously yes !!
Yea i had that install from unknown sources Checked. Not able to install any apps, the Install button remains dull. i had the same problem with AOSP ICS stunner also. And now the same with stock ICS.

I've got the exact same problem! ===and solved it ===
I'm on ICS stock, rooted and the install button does not respond.
Luckily i have an application (DX Toolbox) installed that allows me to install apk's. It uses a different interface.
Build in explorer, Root Explorer and ES File Explorer all use the main install screen with the 'defective' button.
I'm sorry to hear you've got this problem too, but also happy, cuz i honestly thought i was becoming retarded...
======Edit=======
I found out what app caused my troubles!
It was my screenfilter (got a yellowish screen tint, so it's always running). Once turned off everything worked as it should.
Pfff......was so close to getting retarded

Back in time. .
I rolled back to GB cuz i really got frustrated . Ll update and see if things get going better. And would you be kind enough to lemme know what screen filter you were using as i use ScreenFilter by haxor industry. and are you sure the app causes the problem ?

Ok, you need root for this & also a root explorer.
Open your file manager navigate to etc/init.d/ and if you see the file 01mvdalvik move it to /mnt/sdcard/ then clear the cache and data for Play and reboot into recovery. Wipe your dalvik and cache in recovery and then reboot.
You will have much less internal memory after this. The script you moved (if it is there) tells the OS to move the dalvik to the system partition instead of the user partition. This causes problems with Play sometimes.

hi had exact same problem I to frustrated again I just uninstalled brightness apk(lux) than onwards installation working fine that's weired and I use lux app for auto brightness see wheather u installed any auto brightness. uninstall and check it

Will Check It out.
Thanks guys for your replies. Currently downloading stock ICS. will Upgrade and check out the "installation process".

If you have screen filter running then you'll have to disable it. Somehow install button doesn't respond when its enabled while everything else works just fine.

I'm using 'filter your screen' app by Kovit. But this issue is caused by all kinds of apps that put some kind of layer on your screen. When i disable my filter i can install just fine, so I'm 100% sure this is the cause.
If you do a search for 'packet installer not working' you find similar threads. That's what i did after typing here
Hope it all works out for you, sorry you had to reinstall.

I'm back into the ICS truck. Can anyone suggest me a safe kernel without the emmc brick bug ?

Sorry to bring an old thread back to life, but I also had this issue -- I was running screenadjuster because I also have a yellow tint on my Samsung Galaxy S3, and I couldn't install APKs until I disabled the screen filter. I will file a bug report with the author

[Q] (Q) Phone dead?

Not rooted but unlocked. (Using tmobile).
Today, i rebooted my phone and suddenly my phone does not display anything but a black screen and the scroll down notification bar.
It went through the normal process of Android upgrading and I am using Apex Launcher.
Would the problem be apex launcher or my phone actually dying?
The 4 homescreen buttons also do not work

Something became corrupted or messed up on the Rom. Just reflash the Rom without wiping data it should save your stuff if it doesn't work wipe everything or restore a nandroid backup

xperia x8 market problem

hi all. I have a problem on my sony ericsson xperia x8 running the original android 2.1 (rooted though).
basicly whats happening is when I tap the android market icon, the screen flashes white for a second and then goes back to the home screen, I cannot get onto the market at all.
tried uninstalling updates. clearing cache and data and still no joy.
any ideas?

have you tried reflashing the software with PCcompanion??

do I really have to do that?
its a right ball ache putting everything back on the phone.

I know, but I think that is a problem from the installation of the google apps, the other option its going to Settings/ privacy and there should be options to restore/wipe the data of the phone, anyways you will need to do a backup of your numbers, messages, etc
if this doesnt work, you will need to reflash the stock software with PcCompanion
Anyways the last time that I had problems with the market app in stock, I just had to restore the fabric data of the phone in Settings/ privacy

Can't use market on 2.1 only 2.3 and up now so you must flash a ROM this is because they upgraded to play

[Q] Locking screen often results in lockscreen loop.

Hello everyone,
I've searched all over but wasn't able to find any solutions to this problem or a reason why it happens.
Often when I just lock my screen it stays off for a bit, then after a few seconds it opens up the lockscreen again. It keeps doing this in a loop.
For what it's worth: I'm running DJANGOMANOUCHE X 1.3 30A on the kowalski kernel, but it did this on other roms aswell..
Hope someone could clear this up for me!

Did you full wipe everytime before install? Don't get this wrong but it's a common fault.
Next question is do you use titanium backup? Maybe there's a faulty backup

I always fully wipe everything and format /system before installing a new rom.

Well, I did replace my digitizer twice because I dropped it, but then again, how would that affect the lockscreen? since it's a hardware button and not related to the digitizer.
It could just still be hardware damage of dropping it too often though.

Was this resolved.
