I'm a system administrator and for kicks I did a remote kill from one of our exchange servers to my phone (after a nandroid backup) and all it does is a factory reset. It literally just pops up with the factory reset screen and then reboots after a second and it is back to stock. No bricking.

Brick permission is even in aosp, nothing new.

Any app with root access can disable the phone (brick) without using the brick api

just wipe out hboot, and the phone wont ever boot again.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltaechoe:
The brick phone permission would be used for business phones. When they are lost they usually have some sensitive business data (like intellectual property not patented yet, testing software or business finances) on them or they are prototypes or something like that. Rendering the phone a brick minimizes the damage to the company when said phone is lost or stolen.

Remember when the iphone 4 prototype was left in a cafe? Apple lost a lot of their competetive edge when that phone was discovered by one of the tech sites. Bricking the phone is just a way of keeping potential business damaging liability to a minimum

While true about companies... Apple "accidentally" left phone for all the hype they knew it would get. Totally BRILLIANT idea for free advertising/publicity.

There was never any conclusive evidence one way or another as far as the iphone 4 leak i was just using it as an example assuming it was unintentional. If it was intentional then it was just a calculated risk made by the company it worked against them and for them at the same time.

Hi, all..

I find that the android keyboard starts to break after a few days without a restart when I'm using either the DevNull or Oxygen rom. (Currently on DevNull 1.0.3 but I have tried several versions and several Oxygen versions.)

Things that start breaking:

The "symbol" key in the bottom left corner becomes really, really slow - you wait about 10 seconds for the keys to change.

The orientation sesor detects that you've rotate the phone but the keyboard doesn't change for several seconds. (It hangs and then changes)

Sometimes the keyboard isn't sized properly after an orientation change.

Sometimes apps crash while waiting for an orientation change.

A restart usually fixes the problem for a while.

Has anyone else seen this? Any fixes?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxyII:
Hi,

I have a prepaid sim card. When ever i start my phone, i have to enter the pin of the sim card.

In Nokia I was able to save this PIN in one of the phone settings and thus it enabled me to restart my phone and use it without me entering the PIN.

Is there any setting like in Galaxy S II? Searched couldn't find it.

My phone is unbranded just in case

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
you can disable the PIN in security settings. No idea if that works the way you want it to but give it a try:

go to Settings -> Location and Security -> Sim Lock (translated roughfly, maybe it says something similar) -> untick "Lock SIM Card"

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aimfire72:
Haven't really seen any posts on this, so maybe I just got a lemon...

Got my Flyer last night and first thing I noticed was that I had some light-bleed at the bottom of the screen in portait mode. 2 greenish blobs to be exact. Also some more slight bleed along the right side from top to bottom. I cranked up the brightness to just how bad it was, and lo and behold, found 3 stuck pixels. :(

Examined it a bit more and noticed a slight gap with light passing through along the bottom edge, where the screen meets the bezel. And last but not least, also a jaggy scratch on the aluminum itself.

I'm going to take back to BB and exchange for another, was wondering if anyone else had flaws like these? HTC build quality is usually pretty good, so I was surpised to see this on mine.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] perfixalot:
There seems to be some different issues depending on which version people have bought (EU/US/other, Wifi only/3G+Wifi).

I have EU 3G+Wifi,32GB version, my screen and the exterior was perfect, but the touch sensors are totally irratic. Sometimes the far most left edge doesn't respond in portrait mode, some times it seems to respond to nothing at all, just flicking the home screens around, pulling the status bar down, launching shortcuts, or typing random stuff, even the soft keys are buzzing and active when this happens.

It actually did this from the first time I powered it on, and it took me 30 mins to get through the first few steps to get it up an running because it kept pressing the wrong places and quite often hitting the back soft key. I tried a factory reset, it helped slightly, tried recalibrating the keyboard, tried various hacks found around these forums, nothing helped. It seems worse in landscape mode than portrait.

I am getting it replaced by Amazon, which is quite nice since it also seems to acquire scratches very easily, even using the capacitive end of the pen has left tiny tiny marks. So, I ordered some screen protectors just to be on the safe side.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Wobblin30:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aimfire72:
Ok, just exchanged and got my 2nd one at a different BB... more problems.

This one also has some light-bleed at the bottom, but not as bad as the 1st one. Also has 2 stuck pixels, you can see them perfectly using one of those screen tester apps. And lastly, the volume rocker is loose, when I pick up the tablet, it makes a rattling sound.

Also weird, when I first booted up, had a default wallpaper of a blue skateboarding Android on a dark background... was not the normal default HTC wallpaper, wtf? lol. The box was sealed shut, had never been opened. Weird.

So back to the store again tomorrow, gonna exchange.

Edit: Tried out one of those stuck pixel fixer apps and didn't work. The stuck pixel is red, can see it perfectly on a dark background. I'd be willing to keep this one despite that, but the loose rattling vol rocker is driving me nuts. Argghh!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aimfire72:
Ok, I guess 3rd time's a charm because I got Flyer #3 today and seems to be perfect - no dead/stuck pixels or rattling vol rocker! Everything seems solid.

Interestingly, on #1 and #2, the 3d carousel effect never worked at all. But on this one it works fine. Really surprised I had to go through 2 bum units first to finally get one that wasn't defective..

I've attached the apk in case anybody is interested.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shriharsh:
Hey guys . Hi.

I'm thinking of buying this device. It got amazing specs on paper but need to know its performance practically.

Here are some of my questions!

1. How's the sound quality of this phone?

2. Tell me your reviews and experience on this device.

3. Tell the bugs you find .too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
The phone straight of the box is not all that 'flash'...in order to reach it's full potential you will need to flash newer firmware and/or customs roms...for increased sound quality you will need Voodoo Sound, and I would recommend PowerAmp also. Once all that is complete you'll have one hell of a phone (seriously)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shriharsh:
Some questions on rom manager

After i install rom manager and put custom clockwork mod recovery ,would i still need pc to flash roms with odin or i can do it without pc?

Also it would be nice if someone tell the procedure on how to install roms using rom manager?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
1. There is a fair bit of support for sound quality on this device. I am no audiophile, but I think its pretty good. There is a Voodoo Control app that lets you get a little more in depth with all of this, a quick search for it might help you figure out if its what you're looking for.

2. I love my SGS. Tons of fun ROM's available, ported apps, despite what some say I experience great battery life, with the upgrade to 2.3.3 I have great GPS. The screen is extraordinary, and it has one of the best community followings on XDA :)

3. There are some bugs with the GPS system. Some people experience poor satellite locks. There are a few different things that can cause it, most with viable workarounds or fixes. Other than that....the only bugs I've found have been software, and usually fixed by Dev's.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shriharsh:
and what about bugs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
Varies depending on what rom/firmware you choose ;) as stated above about GPS, however I don't use it so doesn't worry me...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omad0:
out of the box my phone had 2.2 froyo which has been ok for me. The best thing about the phone and android platform is how much you can change.

The thing that made me choose this over HTC is the screen is it's a more manageable size and the screen is covered in gorilla glass - MUCH harder to crack/break. So many of my friends have cracked iphones and HTC's.

Flashing to late gingerbread/good custom rom's makes the phone incredibly quick compared to stock and much more fluid and usable.

No regrets on this phone, except that the SII is out soon ;D

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
Rom manager ? There's no real need for that in my opinion, to start off you just use Odin (on your PC, very simple) to flash an updated stock firmware, 2.3.3 probably best. Once that's done you download any rom you want from the Galaxy S Android Development Thread. However to do all this, including using Odin, you (the phone) MUST have both download mode (with phone off, hold home button + volume down + power) and recovery mode (same but volume up instead of down). Pretty sure 95% of them do have these modes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
I would definitely recommend buying an i9000 right now.

The hardware is solid and reasonably future-proof, including some features that newer phones lack such as the AMOLED screen and Gorilla Glass. The 1Ghz processor may not be dual core as some of the newer phones will be sporting, but in real day to day usage the performance difference between dual core and single core CPUs is not really noticable, assuming you aren't doing heavy gaming on your phone.

The i9000 modding community is very strong so even once Samsung stops providing software updates to the phone, you will still be able to get the latest and greatest thanks to XDA devs. Often the ROMs you can get here will be superior to the stock ROMs for such phones as the Galaxy S II (and probably even III). You can also opt to install Cm7 on the i9000 now to ensure your phone will be getting regular updates for at least a few years to come.

Lastly, now that the Galaxy S II and other next gen phones are being released, you should be able to get a great deal on an i9000.

I was rushing anxiously to buy the sgs 2 but fortunately I stopped to check out s1 and gave myself a chance to try it, after using that amazing phone, no need for the dual processor of the s2 with the present apps on the market now, maybe later on.

What I love in this phone:

1. Amazing screen

2. Compact size

3. Sound quality (boosted by voodo)

4. Fair processor speed.

I switched from htc hd2
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenitu:
Since I bought this phone 8 months ago and still using it I reccomend you to buy.

Here are my asnwers to your questions. Please note that these are depending on my experience and opinions. It is impossible for me to be very objective.

1. Sound quality is perfect. I was using Iphone 3g before. Compared to iphone it is perfect. But it may such compared to some other devices that I did not used or have knowledge about it.

2. The screen is awesome. Color, sensitivity are perfect. Little bit less resolution than I phone but the look is better than iphone (iphone 4 of course). The battery life is about same compared with these kind of devices. Speed is reasonable. The thing that I do not like is the back button can be touched accidentaly easily resulting exiting programs. Not a big deal.

3. Bugs are dependable. If you flash a lot of roms like me, or install applications out from the market it is possible to have some bugs.
