HTC G1 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support - Page 8

You don't actually need installation software for a windows computer. Just use the supplied USB cord to the computer and go through the wizard.

Here is the manual as well incase you need it :)

install active-sync then connect or maybe blocking due to virus

Hi srinath,

I see that you are having issues with you HTC G1.

You mentioned that it still vibrates but that is a function on the baterry, you mentioned that you do not see anything on the LCD screen anymore at this point, If I may ask how long ago did your HTC g1 fall in the water? letting it sit down for a couple days and have it dry may not be an option to see if it will work or not, also having to turn it ON and not sure if the insides are already dry is as well not advisable turning the unit ON may cause the system to short if it is still wet from the inside.

I suggest that you bring the unit to a local service center that can service your HTC G1, the unit may already have experienced a short on the LCD the reason why you do not see anything on it at all.

I do not have details nor the manual to repair or open your HTC not even online.

I do apologize.

Have a nice day,

It is not working because it is locked. The phone when locked can not work on other network or in other countries. What you have to do ? Go to the company service center. They can unlock the phone. If there is a good and advanced mobile repairing center then you can go there also. But if your phone is in warranty period then you should go to service center of the company as htey will give service free of charge. If you have deleted android application then no problem. They can install it again. Or you can also install by downloading it from net.Touch screen is not working because of the absense of its application. After the installation it will again work smoothly.

Can you take the battery out? wait for 15 seconds and put it back. Check it work or not.
If not, can you do the soft reset? the is the reset button on HTC.
Hope this will help.

The solution is this: Try taking out the battery put it back in. press and hold the power+home butto. a screen will show then press the power and home button agian. It will then give you a choise to whip out ur memery to factory settings and it should work after.

You should download a new version of adobe

Try the following steps:

1. Turn the G1 off. If it's frozen on, take the battery out and put it back in the unit.
2. Hold the Home and Power keys down at same time for about 25 seconds. You will see a yellow triangle screen with exclamation point in the middle.
Now to wipe the device clean:
3. Press Alt+L.
4. Press Alt+W for a factory reset.
5. Press the Home and Back keys again for about 25 seconds.

The device should then reset again and the hard reset is complete.

I don't think there is a service center in Manila since all retailers will tell you that they have to send the phone to Singapore for any problem.

Power the device off, while it is off press and hold the Menu button and the Red Power Button at the same time, when the phones boots back up the Safe Mode should be off. If this does not work a Master Reset may be required.

Since you are rooted, you can load a custom ROM that has ringtones. A popular ROM for the G1 is Cyanogenmod. An easier way to get ringtones onto the phone, however, is to simply put whatever video and ringtones you want onto a microSD card and load it into the G1. Once you load the microSD card, the ringtones will be available in Settings -> Sounds and the Videos will show up in the Video application.

It`s basically an alert. Press and hold the exclamation mark and a notification area will open up which you can drag to full screen, read, act upon, or delete.

whats ur question

Try this:
I refused to do that hard reset trash and erase all of my information. This method is also just in case you don't have anyone to call you or you're too impatient to wait:
This is inspired by the many posts that tell you to frequently press home while someone's calling.

1. I hit the emergency call button then repeatedly hit home (pic of the house) while opening and closing the phone and went to the home page. It worked repeatedly.
2. Then I went in and took off the pattern request in settings.
3. In settings, make sure Google sync is checked.
4. I changed my password on the computer in Google (with same account).
5. Wait some time 5-10 minutes or less (make sure you have internet service where you're located on your phone).
6. Then it will tell you to enter your password. Enter your new password.
7. Close your phone or hit the red power key.
8. The same locked screen will prompt you for your username and password again. Enter the new password and it will log you in.
9. It will tell you to put in your old pattern or put in a new pattern (I forgot? sorry).
10. Then, you can go into settings and security once you unlock and remove the pattern. You have to enter the old pattern to remove the security.

Try this too:

******This will work and you wont lose any data!!****** Get someone to call you. After answering, flip the screen open and shut repeatedly, tapping the "home" button every few flips. Eventually you'll drop through to your home screen. This may take a few tries.
Go into your security settings and disable the unlock pattern. You can now bypass the lockout just by opening the keyboard. Change the password on your account, which may be your Google Apps account if you have one. In a few moments, your phone will fail to sync with email and prompt you for a password. Enter the new password. You can now log in with the new password. Lock your screen, press menu to try unlocking it, and enter your new information. This should unlock your phone.

I had the same issue, however what I DID notice up on top was a USB Connected - the USB icon. I pulled that notification up and it asked me to connect. The exacts are:

1. Plug the USB cable into the computer
2. Plug the USB cable into the phone
3. The notification up top corner left will say "USB Connected" with a USB notification icon - BRIEFLY. The text "USB Connected" will quickly disappear, but the icon is still in the left corner.
4. Pull down the notification andyou'll see "USB Connected - Select to copy files to/from your computer" - Select that notification
5. Notification "USB Connected - You have connected your phone to your computer via USB. Select "Mount" if you want to copy files between your computer and your phone's SD Card." - Select the option "Mount".
6. The "Removable Disk" notification should pop up asking you what you want to do. I select "Open folder to view files".

There is a music folder in there, or whatever else you'd like.

Hope that assists.

Here's where to get hold of solutions to this common problem.


it's most likely cos

1. you don't have drivers for the usb

2. You haven't enabled usb connectivity
Make sure USB Debugging is turned on. On the G1 click the Menu button and go to Settings > Applications > Development and check USB Debugging if it isn't already.

3. If everything fails, you may need to check your cable to see if it's still okay. borrow another one or buy cheaply from a reputable seller on ebay.

pull the battery out... press and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Replace the battery and power back on.
