G1 Vibrating non-stop...

[jobbie]

When I receive an incoming call the phone goes into constant vibration - this happens sporadically. Unable to answer call and all functions are dead in the water. Screen goes black. Only way to rectify is to hold power button until phone eventually shuts down. Any ideas?

i had a similar problem on my phone after i installed an app called "Shake Awake". it took some time, but i narrowed it down to that, after un-installing the app it was all good.

Try to narrow it down, when did it start happening? Have you installed any new apps prior to it happening? Something you could try to do is copy all your SDcard data to your computer just to make a backup, then do a factory reset on the phone. That should fix it....unless it's a hardware defect.

Bingo!

had this happen when I received a notification on phonefusion but I pressed the red end button and it stopped.

a factory reset will not erase anything from your sdcard.....just so you know.

Sorry for the delay - on vacation. Took a look @ recently installed apps then a reset. That seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the help.
