My G1 keeps turning off, should I get a new battery?

Try hard resetting it once. But make sure you have enough charge. But this will erase everything.

To perform a Hard Reset

1. Turn the phone off. If it is frozen, take the battery out and put it back in.
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.
3. Press Alt+L.
4. Press Alt+W for a factory reset.
5. Press the Home and Back keys again for about 25 seconds.

Hi,

I believe this could be a battery,well we have the same phone and all process you take note sounds like it was my problem before.

Why is this things happening?

Battery can be easily damage due to improper usage like charging the phone while calling,listening to music,browsing etc. two current supply is entering your phone simultaneously. One is coming from the battery powered and the other is coming on the dc charger.the result, it will make your battery deform.

Just replace it a new one and for sure it will be fine again.But please avoid or minimized using your phone while on charge.To be able to preserve your battery life for long time usage.


Hope this simple guide helps you. Thank you for visiting FixYa....

Well i hope you have synced it recently as you are going to need to re flash it

g1 keep cutting off when im using the phone and turns it on and it cut back off and after charge phone it work right for a minute and turn back off

Easy i just figured it out with my g1 and g2 both with the same problem. 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.

ok i had this isssue and figure out what to do. this is all afterm you know that you have a good charger and or battery.

1. completely turn of phone unplug charger.
2. take and put battery back in phone and plug charger.
3. hold hit camera button and power buton. phone will come on if the update was washed it will come straight on. if not you will see the blue LED dont worry yet. just keep holding for 15 sec.
4. while phone blue LED is still on hit and hold (drum Role) menu and track ball for 15 sec.
5. now unplug charger and take out battery. wait 10 sec
6. now put battery back in and leave charger off. and turn on. unless you was in middle of update and hardware failed this WILL bring your G1 back up and running.



hope this helps everyone . MIll$tronics signing out.

No, as of yet flash is not supported on the G1. Keep your eye open for 3rd party apps though, new ones become available daily.

Buying a new one would be very expensive. Go Visit HTC Repair Center located in Dallas Tx if you are local. If you are outside Dallas you can Mail-in your Phone to them.
