My G1 crashed so its going back for a new one

[kaysesoze]

I dont know wtf happened but i was using google maps and compass view to make sure mines was working, closed google maps, and then my internet signal went away. I could recieve phone calls but no internet. called tmo cust care and they couldnt fix it, no network issues or anything in the system. About 10 hard resets with 2 different reps, and the resolve is to send it back and order another one.
Im really pissed about it cause i dont want to go back to my wing until i get another g1. I already miss it already and i havent sent it back yet, but it will be going back if its not working in the morning.

Damn, that's rough. Have you tried the MAGNET/COMPASS fix yet?

what do you mean, banging on it???
i tried and the signal would come back for a second but it wasnt an edge signal just regular calls... im posting from my wing now ( the only thing i miss about the wing is the keyboard)....

Yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry,bro.
Can u xchange at a corporate store?

I thought crashing means when it boots u out of a app/web ? At least that's what I thought it ment on a iPhone/touch.

Does anyone know what part of the phone houses the antanea.. maybe I should bang there... I just put the sim back in the g1 now I have 2 bars and can connect.. but I usually have 4 bars in my house...

[kaysesoze]

okay now i just tried google maps and it seems like my compass is all jacked up... when i trun the screens starts spinning around and around unless i hold my hand real steady it barely stays still..
so i guess i will have to hold out for a few weeks and send this one back and reorder a new one.

hit the back harder. from what i read, you have to give it a good whack, while the screen in open.

[kaysesoze]

But will it make my signal strength better, and how hard is a good whack?

[kaysesoze]

Also did a speed test, with 2 bars showing I'm getting 146kbps..
Is that good?
