Mike, Thanks for checking this out.
This kind of re-enforces my two main concerns; 1) That any widget can cause an error message to come up which gives the impression of general system instability. 2) That there isn't a better error notification system which allows an average user to identify the specific problem widget.

Al as a follow up from our conversation last week and my installing the retro clock. Yesterday I had some of the similar issues you had, home screen not responding to dragging with the finger. I have since removed the retro clock and so far have had no further issues, I also have had the normal calendar widget running at the same time to determine that it is not just Widgets in general causing the issue. I suppose it is possible that the retro clock is causing the issue.

Let me give you today's experiences First off it looks like widgets can cause the Home screen to go ANR. Twice this morning I unlocked my G1 from a sleep only to be told "Activity Home (in process android.process.acore) is not responding. Last night I updated the Retro-clock widget and my main home screen contains 8 shortcuts, the Google search bar, the retro-clock and retro-calendar (both from the retro clock app), which is the only change I've made for a few days. This isn't a low memory problem because the settings screen is reporting 44MB of free storage on the 'phone. So, my next step, was to get the logs off the G1 and try to install Astro File Manager to get the ANR traces, and, guess what, I'm now looking at a Market screen that says "Starting Download..." with the progress bar empty and nothing happening (JBQ there is no icon or message in the notification tray so I think you're safe :)). This is reproducible because I can cancel the download and restart it and the same thing happens. This isn't customised firmware, this is the stock T-Mobile UK firmware which has gone out to the 100,000 G1s they've shipped. This is what consumers are experiencing. This is what how Android will be seen by the public. To me, This is very worrying. Al. P.S. Yes, I can hear many people saying "This might just be a thing with the T-Mobile UK build", but at the moment that's what's on a majority of Android devices in the UK, and so it's what's being shown to others. --- * Written an Android App? - List it at http://andappstore.com/ * ====== Funky Android Limited is registered in England & Wales with the company number 6741909.
