Hey all, I can't believe it, my g1 has bricked itself. :( :(

On the bus yesterday I was using as i normally would, I installed an app from the market place (can't remember the app - not sure if this might have had something to do with it), soon after my G1 started really lagging, I thought it must have been a memory leak or something so rebooted. After rebooting it seemed to just get worse, constantly freezing with major lag, i ended up turning it off for a while. Later on in the evening I tried to turn it on however the lag was so bad I couldn't unlock the phone. This morning I tried again and managed eventually navigate my way to the username & email login - after attempting to login with the extreme lag for about an hour I managed to get in however it couldn't load the desktop.

I went to T-Mobile and by the time i got there nothing was appearing on the screen, they told me they could send it off for repair but i'll be without it over the christmas/new year holidays :( I thought i'd check out if anyone had a similar problem online but the more i mess with it the more im convinced its a hardware issue not software.

Anyone seen/heard of anything like this? :confused:

cheers

Did you exceed disk capacity maybe? I'd try a factory reset.

What was the app you installed? There is a setting in the developer app that makes the phone lag super bad and act really glitchy.

damn that sucks.

no G1 over christmas and new years? that's torture.

odd thing is when I reboot my G1, I never have to enter my email and password.
So why did you have to?
Anyone else have to?

Maybe that app hacked your G1 asking for your gmail and pass ahhaha sucks.

RIP! My sympathies are with you. These things should not happen during christmas. I hope T mobile poeple will help you after christmas. In the mean time, reboot the system, if possible

Yeah... you might want to try a factory reset. It sounds like a thrashing G1 to me.
