G1 big problems

Hay i have a rooted G1 with Jf - can't rember what version.
I've been having lots of problems with force closing of various programs but otherwise everything was going fine.
After a few force closes today i decided to restart my phone, turned it off and then back on and stuck it in my pocket.
When i went to check my texts 5 minuets later i took it out and it was just stilling on the 'Android' splash screen - it was moving then freezing for a few seconds then moving (i don't know if that's normal but it wouldnt surprise me).
I took the battery out and restated again and exactly the same thing - it would not boot.
I did a quick search on the problem and remembered how to boot in camera+red mode - which the phone did fine. I then read that pushing green+menu+red would fix it.
I did this and the phone booted, but it lost all my home screen icons and was laid out like when the phone was bought. i then cheked an app or two and they are all still there and seem to have retained their data.
However other strange things are happening - the home button dosnt work, nether does the green, when i hold the red button i only get the 'power off' option not 'power off, silent and airplane' as i used to.
They are the problems i have found so far but there may be more. Basically i want to know what pushing green, menu, red actually does and i want to know what the hell is going on - im totally lost.
Please help
P.S. i did a test on the consol and it seems i still have root assess - just encase that relative

Go to recovery, wipe and reflash. It will solve all your issues.

I can't actually remember how to do that - can you explain more or link me?
and will it have any effect on my apps or settings?

You're going to need to go into recovery; press the home screen button, then the red (energize, end call, whatever) button. Hold both down until you get into recovery, which will be the text menu with all the selections available in green. Then scroll down to "wipe data/ factory reset" and do that- this simply wipes the phones internal memory. Then load the rom you are using, which I assume is already on the root of your sd card. If not, connect the phone, mount the card, and put the rom there before you get started with the above steps- chris

used this app and now my screen is black...

I opened this app (battery booster, can't post link because I am new) after downloading it excited to hoping it was better then a previous one I was trying that seemed to do next to nothing.
I saw the brightness button and hit it. It showed 11%. I was like oh I thought I had this all the way down...so I use the scroller to take it all the way down assuming 0% meant that it was the lowest it could possible dim the screen...well it sure is a battery saver considering I can't even see my screen as its completely BLACK...............................
1. Why would you even allow something like this in a app.
2. Please help me fix it...
I have tried for about an hour to assume where the scroll down, and mounting the phone to my computer so that I could possibly uninstall it via computer with no luck...

anyone????!

I don't want to piss you off or anything, but I had read a comment on another thread saying they could never get it to come back, even when they went back to stock.
You may need to head down to the Verizon store :/

son of a...this is so stupid! What a bad feature to have in a app for idiots like myself apparently

if you have adb debugging you might be able to fix it...

If you have usb debugging on, you can use adb to delete the app you downloaded I think. Did you have it enabled?

I didn't have debugging on i checked via adb and long story short...i was still within 30 days of purchase ;-)

All may not be lost!!
If you're still in your 30 days take it back and exchange it.
If not, try booting into recovery mode and reset the phone. I don't think you need root to do that much and it should put the phone back to the way it was when you took it out of the box.
Hold down the volume button so that you are pressing both up & down volume at the same time (easiest to do with the battery cover off).
While holding the volume keys down press and hold the power button too. When the Samsung screen comes up release both buttons. A couple seconds later you will see the "Android system recovery" screen.
Press the volume down button until you have highlighted "wipe data/factory reset".
Press the "Home" button to select it.
You will then be told to press the volume up button to wipe the phone or press the volume down button to exit/cancel. Press volume up and follow any additional instructions. That's as far as I go to guide you (I want to keep my stuff as is ).
If that doesn't take care of the issue then you should take it to verizon and tell them what happened. Good luck and let me know if this worked for you!

[Q] Extended battery for Inc S S710e and S710a

Hi all. I'm new here, so I hope you can help me out. I've done a model search and read the suggested threads, so if this question has been posted before, kindly forgive the duplication.
I have an Incredible S S710a (Bell Canada). I bought, from ebay, a 3500mAh extended battery. I realized after it's arrival that this battery is compatible with the S710e (Europe). I know, I should have read more carefully. My phone will power on, but there is an exclamation point (!) over the battery icon and no cell signal at all. This is after turning the phone off, installing the new battery and back cover, and turning the phone on again. And off again and on again. So will a difference within a model, (a instead of e) really cause the battery not to work properly, or do I have a dud?
When I go back to the original battery and cover, it works great again. Thank you.

On the S710a, the antenna is built into the battery cover. Does the extended battery cover have metal contacts on the inside like your original cover? If not, that is why you aren't getting a signal.

The s710e also has antennae built into the battery cover.

If i am not wrong try to wipe your battery status from recovery .......or if you are new and do not know the procedure then follow the steps........
1. power of your device take out battery for 5 seconds and put it back.
2. hold down the vol down + power button together
3. select recovery to push vol down once then press power (it will reset your device into recovery mode)
4. select advanced in the menu at the end/bottom and then select wipe battery status.
5. Lastly go back to main menu and select system reboot.
Or if it is too much difficult for you to do that then or your are curious just reset your phone from ' settting / sd and phone storage / factory data reset '
Hope it will work for you.

Thanks to all who replied. I tried the above, and all was well till the end of step 3. The power up, which would be the beginning of step 4, gave me what looks like a cell phone in the background, with a red triangle and red exclamation point in the foreground. I left it for several minutes but no other menu appeared.
I am hesitant to do a factory reset, as I have a few paid apps. I do have access to another new phone (friend who works in an electronics store), so I will try the battery in a brand new handset.
I basically want to know if the battery is incompatible or defective, so we'll see what happens later today. An extensive google search hasn't given any answers, so this will be a good contribution to the knowledge base if we can sort it out.
I'll report back tomorrow. Thanks again.

m using this kind of back cover (with htc/google logo at back cover ) or refer here

so far it's working good & using it for 3 months now !! of couse it's metal connector..

The red triangle is normal its just the stock recovery. Press vol up and power to get out of it. Then select reboot.

Bingo! Thanks for all the great help. This worked and I'm up and running again.
One thing to note -- my indoor reception isn't as good, so it's probably the antenna on the extended back door. Outdoor reception works as normal.

[Q] Poor Battery Life

Hi, I upgraded to jelly bean a few weeks ago and the battery life was fine. But recently I have been getting to about 13% by the end of the day with light usage. Any ideas? I wiped the battery stats and cache etc. In battery stats it tells me that my display and the OS is using most of the power but It wasn't used much.
Why did it just happen out of nowhere?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Hi there!
"Do you have Google Now? Kill it if so."
I had same problem before. Well, maybe loosing 87% of battery not for 12hours, but 18-20, but anyway it was unacceptable for me. I played around with "System Tuner", disabling services and processes I didn't need, but maximum what I achieved was additional free RAM.
I set up few "SmartAction" scenarios and what i found that the most battery-wise helpful thing is when all Background data is off. Now I got back to ~40-48 hours battery life with the same day to day workload. Of course you are giving up "live" notifications of internet related activities, like email, facebook, live rates and so on, but it like your choice in the end of the day - I am fine with pressing "Refresh" button from time to time =)))

I have the same problem. I did get to test the phone on ICS and the battery did seem to last longer. So when I upgraded to JB, I turned Google Now off from the start - it has never been on.
My battery says screen is using about 75-85% of the battery. This is way more than ICS. On JB, I have many smart actions on e.g. turn off data when the screen is off and turn down the screen to *minimum* brightness when using music. I don't understand that. I even use a mostly black wallpaper...

Did it help? I have similar problems. :-/

Turn off google now and do a factory reset after JB install.

I couldn't access the recovery in Jelly Bean...I tried so much. Motorola suggested a factory reset after Jelly Bean. This significantly helped the battery!

I think that recovery in JB is corrupted. It's kinda tricky to enable it. Try this: Power off. Hold Volume down and power on. After logo and vibration whey the screen goes blank release Power button and hold Volume down. When Fastboot menu appears release and then go with Volume down to Recovery. Select Recovery with Volume up and wait. When you see the figure of falling android press both Volume up and down. There seems to be broken part. Hold both buttons a while then release and repeat until the track of the next menu appears. Press Volume up and you'll get to the complete menu. Find Wipe data/cache with Volume up or down and select it with Power button. After that process select factory reset with Volume up or down and enter with Power button. Then select reboot.

[Q] Upgraded 176CX is very slow

I have upgraded my Asus 176CX to Android 5.0. Although I like the new version, the responses inside the applications (and mainly simple games) is not good. The start time of the applications is 2-3 times slower than the older and slower Asus MemoPad 7 HD!
Any ideas how to fix that?

Mine too. Have you tried factory reset without automatic restore?
I did it and now it's much faster, almost as much as before the update. The game's still stuttering quite a bit but not as laggy as before.
The main problem I have is the screen seems to have lower contrast than in 4.4.2 and sometimes the colour just goes washed out and then return to normal. Especially when switching apps. But sometimes it just does that for no obvious reason.
Also the amount of bloatware just went through the roof and I can't disable or delete them like before.
To anyone passing by: Hold on for a bit. As far as I'm concern the only good thing I can find in this update is native support of USB Audio.

What do you mean by "Automatic Restore"?
Also, after the factory reset, how did you re-installed the apps? I don't want to loose my data, I have some apps (not just games), like for example my Lufthansa app with all my data and Boarding Passes etc that I really need.
The bloatware is a lot. I cannot disable most of it. One of the good things: The backup application.

In Backup & reset you'll have 2 choices called
- Back up my data
- Automatic restore - which will restore your apps along with settings after factory reset. But to be sure that it deletes all files that might cause the device to slow down I'll disable it.
And yes, after factory reset with this option disable you will have to reinstall all your apps and all your data will be gone. So make sure you back up everything you need before doing it.
WARNING: If you have important data like boarding pass in your airliner app then I wouldn't suggest you do the factory reset because even if you enable both "backup my data" and "automatic restore" there's still some risk that data in some apps might not come back.
Back to the issue of device slowing down, another way to fix it is format cache partition. This is the safest way to fix the problem without losing all your data, apps or any settings but I really can't find a way to do it.
Edit: Found it!
Here's how you do it:
- Turn off your device.
- Hold down "volume down" then press power button until it turns on.... at this point continue holding the volume down button.
- After you enter fastboot mode, release the volume down button.
- Use volume up or down to navigate the menu, select "RECOVERY" then press power to choose.
- It will show the belly up droid, don't panic.
- Press volume up and power simultaneously, hold them down for about a second then release them. If this doesn't work try holding down a bit longer. You will get in to recovery menu.
- Use volume up or down to navigate the menu, select "wipe cache partition" then press power to choose.
- Wait until it says "Cache wipe complete." on the bottom of the screen.
- Choose "reboot system now".
Try this first and if it doesn't fix your problem I'm afraid you'll have to factory reset your tablet.
