Ever since installing G1 cupcake, my G1 has been very unstable. Tasks manager keeps on poping up. Applications close suddenly etc. I was wondering if its possible to reinstall the firmware in G1 like nokia phones offer?

I'd suggest to use specific applications from the Google store, like Application Backup/Restore, SMS backup, etc.

1. Reboot your computer. 2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del on your keyboard. Thiswill bring up the Windows Security window. Click the "Task Manager"button and then click the "Task Manager" tab. 3. You will see a list offiles/applications. These are the applications running in the background onyour system, whether they show on your taskbar or not. Any one of theseapplications could be causing a conflict with the Yahoo! Messengerinstallation. 4. Click the top item on the list tohighlight it. Then hold the "Shift" key down and click the last itemon the list. This should highlight the whole list. 5.Click the "End Task" button. This will temporarily close allbackground applications on your system. 6. Click the "X" in the upperright corner to close the Task Manager window. 7. Install Yahoo! Messenger. You should notexperience the same issue that you had before. 8. After Yahoo! Messenger is installed,runregistry cleaner reginout also rebootyour system. All other background applications will return to their originalconfigurations.

Hi,

Are you trying to download applications from web sites, if so use "Bytes Tornado" software to download anything to your T-Mobile G1.

You can download "Bytes Tornado" from Market.

Thanks and regards,

I am suffering this, the best thing I could do is go to the Yahoo Messenger directoru and set the yahoomessenger.exe compability mode with windows xp sp3.
suddenly the y!m got tamed. I'm using y!7m with win7 64 bit right now :)

unfortunatley u cannot play qame websites. but youtube works perfectly :)

ya....its a known issue that should be resolved when cupcake software is released.....

you WILL encounter this force close error message everytime to attepmt to delete messages if you have over 100 messages in the inbox....

just select menu > delete threads and select the force close error when it pops up. you should be okay.....just keep doing that till cupcake is out. if that doesnt help, youll need to have the phone reset. try going to MENU > SETTINGS > SD CARD AND PHONE STORAGE > RESET PHONE > ERASE EVERYTHING.

**as long as you remember you gmail username and password, all of your contacts and calander apps will be restored on the handheld. if you do not remember them, you will loose EVERYTHING if you complete this reset.**

good luck :)

try to delete all threads at once by going to menu then delete threads.....after the force close error messages, you should be okay. i know it wont allow you to delete thema t once...so try all at the same time.

just heads up, this is a known issue and should be resolved once the cupcake software reslease is out....until then, keep your inbox UNDER 100 text messages and it will help prevent this from happening until that update comes out.

worse case scenario. if you do have to reset the phone, all your contacts and calender info will automatically be synced with phone given you remember the username and password for your google account. good luck! :)
