Dash w/ 6.1 Constant Crash

[jamesmartinez]

Hey there.

I couldn't find any old posts on this topic, so I decided to post a new thread.

Ever since I updated to 6.1 (I've tried both roms, and both have this problem. Maybe it's just my phone, which is why I'm asking) my phone will crash while sending e-mails and browsing the internet (an even faster crash when WiFi is on).

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
James

Just for anyone who happens to come across this thread and has the same problem, it was the battery.

Did replacing with a new battery do the trick to solve this problem?

I assume the battery is thicker with a new battery covering? Is it that much thicker with this new battery?

[jdoggraz]

Yeah it is slightly thicker that is why they provide you a new back cover... But it is not much thicker... I would say about 4-5 mm thicker.... which is about a half a cm... not to bad...

Makes the phone better to handle I.M.O :)

haha true that true that...

[jamesmartinez]

Got mine on eBay and recieved it in two days via USPS.

It is a bit bigger now; the battery cover is about the size of the phone so the bottom of your phone where the battery is located is about 2x the size of the stock size.

When I talk in calls or hold the phone my finger usually uses the size difference to grasp the phone in a way.

I like it!

Nice so is your back cover the same as the phone like the same feel, because my friend got one and the back cover was not rubberized rather it was shiny...

[jamesmartinez]

Mine is the same OEM style cover. Rubberized and same color. I'll get you the link to the seller's store.

Yep I thought it was skyfire browser but its definately the battery I got a new one on ebay and no more problems!

Oh right on, so do you still use the dash stats or do you like the G1... I kinda went back to the Dash but I wish the dash had 3G...

[Ryanmo5]

I'm using g1 for the most part but I must admit g1 is getting boring real quick. I like to play games on phone and there is nothing but crap in market! G1 is missing a lot of stuff that I enjoy. I'm impressed with the phone but what comes with it is extremely disappointing. I know it will change but how hard is it to include basic stuff with it like document reader, video player? I haven't seen you in g1 forum so I figured you went back to dash, I'm gonna follow soon lol.

How exactly was it crashing? I ask because the first time my htc battery went it out would shut the phone off, now I am having problems with the phone freezing, no matter what rom I put on it and the last one wouldn't even let me load opera mini, said not enough memory. I was thinking the processor was goin bad

It would not work because the phone does not have the driver or the hardware to pick up the 3G frequency...
