If he presses the power button and nothing happens, no screen coming on or soft buttons lighting up, that's a hard brick.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djj.p:
yes sir it was a hard brick, my phone was completely dead.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HQwarp:
no, your phone is not hard brick, Its just brick.

Hard brick mean that even the dongle not helping..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djj.p:
im trying to help and this is why i get??? my phone didnt work with the 3 method button, no cwm, no recovery, it wasnt charging, it was DEAD. if you think it wasnt then thats your problem im just trying to help :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
it was hard bricked. good job with finding this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djj.p:
thanks jager555 i really appreciate it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] connexion2005:
Your phone was not hard bricked. Take it from someone who has repaired over 500 SGS devices that WERE hard bricked. I sell this JIG and have sold more than anyone in the world so I know both sides of the story. You were in an unusual soft brick scenario where the phone appears to be hard bricked but will pop in to download mode with the JIG. I've seen it before and from time to time and it appears to be a hard brick. When you are truly hard bricked, you will know it. If you don't believe me, how about I give you a Captivate bootloader to flash and you let me know how the JIG works for you? ;)

Didn't mean to be blunt and it's great your letting people know about the JIG but the JIG will not help you in a true hard brick scenario.

However, I can repair even a hard brick so PM me if your reading this and in this situation... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djj.p:
my desire was to help other poeple find this JIG, because it was difficult for me to pay for another replacement at the time my phone was dead, but if you believe that my phone was in an "unusual" soft brick scenario then tell me whats the worst scenario that you've seen when a sgs 4g phone is REALLY hard bricked.:D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
This post is 100 percent sound. Flash another devices boot loaders and good luck with the jig... HOWEVER Heimdell + linux = soft hard debricker in some cases.... I know lol done it posted guide but thats only if it didnt overwrite the usb port initizlation
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
So the only way to know if one is truly hard bricked is to try a jig? If the jig doesn't work, you're hard bricked? If it works, then you were only soft bricked?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
if you say flashed vibrant bootloaders or another devices boot loaders and realized it after i think u would know.. honestly its really hard to brick these phones unless u overwrite the bootloaders roms wont generally hard brick your device...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djj.p:
all i really known is that the JIG worked for me when my phone was completely dead
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] connexion2005:
Once again, in a true hard brick situation, the JIG WILL NOT WORK. I'm glad you were able to get to download mode with your JIG but it's important not to confuse people by saying a JIG will fix a hard brick as it will not.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
How do you know you have a hard brick unless you try the jig?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
thats how u know
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
My point being the OP is still relevant.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
im going to agree to disagree but thats not a hardbrick....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chmilz:
Default music player often displays glitchy, flickering album covers. It looks like it's trying to load them and having difficulty. Anyone else witness this or have a fix? It seems to happen more often than not, and I haven't been able to identify any one particular activity or group of activities that sets it off. See video.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r_nt:
I had the same issue the last time I opened up the music app. IIRC, I reset but forgot about it until I read your post. As of now, it's fine. Not sure what was causing it. Guess I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoTeC:
Clear data in Music settings... Viola!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike5065:
I have this problem too. Clear data helps but problem always returns.

And its not just the album art, its also playback sequence sometimes.

I couldn't find a copy of 3.0.2 to download, and reinstall, wondering if that would help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Tone:
I've got the same issue. I just use poweramp instead, it sounds better anyway. The stock player is a little thin sounding in comparison.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty5689:
I have album issues with Google Music Beta music only. Not much an issue imo though. Do you look at album art when you listen to music?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punman:
Same for me. Flickering album art, and playback will just stop randomly. Amazon mp3 app will also just stop playing once in a while, too. I do not have Google Music Beta; for the Android Music player I am playing from local files. With Amazon mp3 I'm streaming from my cloud drive. Annoying.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chmilz:
I don't really view album art, but when it flickers I can't select an artist/album or even properly scroll. Also, it's just a really basic stability blunder. How hard is it to render some album art? My iPad buddies laugh at the default music player on eee Pad and I sadly have to agree. Almost no customization options either.

Edit: I'll give Winamp a try, and if that doesn't pan out, perhaps cough up the $5 for Poweramp.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punman:
Winamp does nothing but FC for me. Good luck with that.

[Acer Iconia A500] mike525:
Hey Guys,

Has anyone had any luck being able to sync multiple folders with the PC and /also webdav servers. I have tried good sync and always sync, to name a couple but none of them can detect the Icona, as it only shows up as a storage device not a network drive. Is it possible to remap as a network drive?? If so how??

The is a new sync appp called file Droid which appears quite good but again it doesn't detect to Iconia.

Too painfull to drag files across and keep them in sync-
[Acer Iconia A500] Fbn02:
you can try synctoy from MS but you will have to have your tab in mass storage mode.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DivineDecay:
I tried (succeeded) in downloading and flashing Synergy RLS1 God Mode. everything went well until i just noticed i have no 3g connection? should i recover and reflash and see if it fixes it? or is there something im missing?

(i searched but found nothing useful)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jlallman:
You have a couple of options, restore and reflash (making sure to wipe your data, cache, and dalvik cache). Or try flashing RLS 1 without god mode again making sure to do a complete wipe.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven 1:
Or update your PRL/profile and then reboot your phone. Should work and if it doesnt then you can always flash calks latest radios for the EVO through recovery. Make sure to wipe cache and dalvick cache. (Amon_RA 2.3) works the best in my opinion.

[Motorola Triumph] dcnblues:
I've put off getting a smartphone as long as possible, but did enough research that I think the Triumph on Virgin's $35 plan with Google voice is a smart way to go. I still have some questions about this new OS, programs, and environment, and really like the smart people on this forum, and hope you won't mind a few questions.

-What’s the best VOIP app for working with Google Voice? I've come across GrooVe IP, but would like reassurance whether it's the best option. I'd like to make calls over wifi, but I'd also like to know whether Virgin Mobile's 3g coverage is fast enough for voip (generally...). I wouldn't want to do this routinely as I'd be afraid they'd throttle me. But I would like someone who knows to share their opinion.

-How do I find out my wifi signal strength? 3G strength? GPS strength? Or even just where I can learn what the icons on the top bar stand for, and what their range is? There must be a good app for this, and I'd love a recommendation.

-If I wanted the option, how (specifically) would I switch from making a voip/data plan outgoing call to the regular phone cell plan? Would Android be smart enough to do this automatically without a wifi signal? Or would I need to change a setting in Google Voice? Any thoughts most appreciated.

-How do I find what apps are running (in background?)? Percentage of system resources, and how to kill them? I’m guessing there are apps for that. Does Android kill a process when you return to home screen? What are some of the general rules?

-I have a mac. I’m guessing most of the programs that let you manage files, root the phone, install Cyanogen mods, etc, are PC based. I found Android File Transfer, but am not clear on it's limits. Are there better options? What will the AFT program be good for? [Emulating PC’s is a pain I would rather avoid, but I have been thinking of running virtual box to donate some processing time to the Large Hadron Collider, so I might be able to run some of these PC programs]. Any advice most welcome.

-Any skins or options to turn the google apps into light text on dark background? (I'm aware of and have used the option in Gmail). I hate black text on white background. I'm kooky that way.

This Android phone is good looking, the plan costs much less than a thousand a year (which I refuse to pay), and I LOVE the Google voice options to turn your text and calls into computer files which you can archive as you wish. The Google voice activation / text / search is far superior to iAnything, voip/wifi is the balls, and I think a lot people who've been holding off from getting a smartphone will jump on this combo, and this thread may help them. Many thanks...
[Motorola Triumph] samiam24x7:
With respect to these questions, I'm not an expert, but I'll provide a list of programs I use.

For WiFi signal strength, I'd recommend Wifi Analyzer from the Market. For 3G strength, I'd recommend Cellumap. For GPS Strength, GPS Status + Toolbox or GPS Test.

The manual for the phone can be found on either the VMUSA or Motorola web site. It will explain some of the icons. Although when using the phone, I often see stuff not explained in the manual.

For examining the phone's processes, I recommend SystemPanel from the Market (paid for version has history), and/or Android Status.

There are people that tell you NOT to kill anything on the Android OS manually. I use 1Tap Cleaner and Advanced Task Killer from the market if I see the phone behaving a bit sluggish. Android OS loads stuff in memory readying it for future use. How it does so (intelligently) I don't know. I see stuff being partially loaded I never use. I have never had a problem using either program.

YMMV
[Motorola Triumph] bigvandal:
GrooveIP works great over 3g...I dunno how much we will be able to use it once they start capping data..bastards
[Motorola Triumph] rogerski1:
As far as voip services, I have found using 3g too slow. That said I do recommend sipdroid. It will setup a pbx account for you using your google voice number. Upon connecting to wifi, sipdroid will start running allowing you to make and receive calls.
[Motorola Triumph] dcnblues:
Thanks guys for the very useful help. I'm kind of burned out on all the research, and kind of bummed that this red-hot, billion dollar business seems to be run by such morons. SO many unnecessary complications to offering consumers simple, workable products and services.

This has been a great help.

I'm actually kind of grateful to Virgin Mobile for the $35 dollar plan. I can communicate via voice to text, for a fair price, so until I have a real problem, I'm not going to call them bastards. Until I have a problem, of course...

I do hate the BS in advertising 'unlimited' plans, but having them smirking in their headquarters as they say to themselves 'but we didn't say at what rate...'

On the other hand, people downloading movies over cell frequencies aren't exactly providing solutions to the problem either...
[Motorola Triumph] dcnblues:
Dude, thanks very much. For this and all the information. Colossally useful.

Groove IP is actually having a problem today due to some change in the Google servers. Hope it's resolved soon as I'd like to get this running.

Quick confirm: Triumph is LCD and not AMOLED, Correct?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper89:
I've been searching all over but can't seem to find the answer. So maybe one of you X1 users might know. My question is how many nits does the X1 screen have? Are X1's have a really good backlight so I was just curious on how many nits it produces.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
don't think this info is available.

btw, the rest of the world uses candela (1 Nit = 1 cd/m²)... ;)

but public verdict is that the x1 is pretty bad in sunlight (you can see that yourself), so the value can't be very high.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper89:
Ya I can't find it anywhere but I found a chart on : http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/07/01/lab_tests_compare_apples_iphone_4_retina_display_to_rival_phones.html, which lists the Droid X at 455 cd/m². My mom has this phone so when she gets home I'm going to do a comparison and see which one is brighter. If it's brighter than it's in the 455+ range which I think it is. Ya the X1 is pretty bad in sunlight but I think the type of screen technology has more of a factor on how well it performs in sunlight rather than backlight( TFT LCD, SUPER LCD,OLED, AMOLED,IPS TFT LCD).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper89:
So I turned off all my lights and did the test. The Droid X was brighter but not by much at all, I was alittle surprised because I thought for sure the X1 had the brighter screen. So my conclusion is it's in the 400 range :).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
sound's like you did your test in the dark? that's pointless.

do it again in bright daylight, aka "sunshine". ^^ make sure both devices are set to auto-brightness or manual full brightness.

how good is the x1 now?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper89:
Lol why is doing it in the dark pointless??? It's clearly the easiest way to see which screen is brighter and why would doing in the daylight make any difference, the screens are not going to get any brighter in the daylight? And honestly I could care less about how well the X1i works in direct sunlight because 98% of my day I'm not sitting in direct sunlight and for the 2% when I am I can still see the screen just fine. " How good is the X1 now"? Mine is doing pretty good how about yours :p?
