Well, possibly the battery somehow died during the process. Also, I believe he was pointing out that if the battery is getting warm then the phone may not be permabricked. Usually you can find a way to rescue it. Its too soon to give up on it

Not to sound negative but I used Odin and flashed the wrong file once and my phone never recovered. I tried everything for countless days and eventually gave up. When i took it to my local sprint repair center they said they couldnt get it to turn on either. It sucks but it might be your best bet. just come up with a good story (of course leaving out that it was rooted) lol

If you do get it into download mode, I would try hooking into a computer with the battery out, then hold the 1 key on the keyboard then add pressing the power button together. You will want to grab the files from this thread and add the pit file and check repartition. Uncheck F.reset if in Odin. But Heimdall is better.

If you flashed an epic with fascinate firmware you're pretty well hard bricked. The dude from mobile tech videos can jtag it.

http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/tag/jtag/

He recovered my captivate when I got drunk and flashed the wrong bootloader. Or if you're just going to move on to a new phone, I'll give you $25 and bag of cheese for the bricked epic. If I get a bricked epic, I'm going to rip the cpu off and trace the pins so we can get the unbrickable mod working for us too.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handymanxda:
I followed this thread and thought posts explained why it is NOT insurance fraud. And if that person wanted to pay the $100 to put in a claim that is what the insurance is for. Is it any different than the genius that uses their phone as a hammer or the angry girlfriend that throws her phone? Fraud would be if you said you lost your phone just to have 2 phones. I would like a better explanation please.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austin420:
i missed the deleted part of the thread, but i believe this to be truth. if you call assurion and say you borked your phone and pay the deductible, where is the fraud? isnt that exactly what insurance is for?

That could be a bigger issue with your phone. Try a new rom costum or stock. If that doesnt help. Back to shop

If you've not touched the phone there is something wrong there. Quadrant is fine on mine, and most games tend to work now so i'd say factory reset, and if no joy, take it back and get it replaced with another new one (depending on how long you've had it)

Hi,

For those of you who already switched to the great ROM of Endless, you maybe have seen that your physical AZERTY keyboard isn't recognized on your favorite default language.

Here are the steps make your best wishes coming true (Based on the nightly 20110909 v3+ but should be functional on other versions) :

1/ Boot until you see your blue light and press "vol -"

2/ Connect your phone on your PC and go on tools>share system

3/ Unpack AZERTY.zip. Those two files come from the original sbf 2.2.2 from motorola (thanks to the great program unyaffs :) )

4/ Copy bin file to /usr/keychars and kl file to /usr/keylayout

5/ Rename qwerty.kcm.bin to qwerty.kcm.bin.old

6/ Do the same to qwerty.kl > qwerty.kl.old

7/ Rename umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin to qwerty.kcm.bin

8/ Rename umts_milestone2-keypad.kl to qwerty.kl

9/ Unmount your filesystem

10/ Reboot and you're done

The next step is discussing with Endless to find a solution to link it to the language parameters to do it automatically

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Gandii420:
Im really sorry for asking but, Ive exhausted all other search methods to find an answer. What can I do about the extremely low ram availability? Ive got like, on a good day 110 out of 329mb available. Is this normal? Ive tried reading up on flashing a new kernel but Im not positive this will fix the issue.

Im running the uvkg4 2.3.4 with the kernel that came with it. Go launcher sits on top of that using about 18mb. Maybe Im just expecting to much from my phone?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Even if its to yell at me cause I missed something while searching on here.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neil.richard:
Dude i think its a usual problem i have a galaxy fit and i also have aost 100mb-130mb of free RAM out of 280.

So, May be we are expecting too much from our galaxies!!

However in a HTC phone( i dont remember the model) it has 784MB RAM!!!...

the best way to free Ram is close useless running apps and uninstalling them!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Gandii420:
My wife has an LG Optimus for Tmo...and she's getting like, 261 of 418. The difference seems only slight but, I'd like all the ram I can possibly have. I use the built in task manager to keep up with running services. TB for freezing or uninstalling. I don't have a whole heck of a lot of things left to kill that would equal 100mb. Maybe 60 at most.

I don't know. I am still interested in the whole kernel thing though. I've read what a kernel is, and is supposed to do. I just don't understand what exactly the benefit is of flashing one over. Like drhonks, I've read all about it everywhere...for the life of me can't find what the exact benefits are. Same thing with the modem. I'd like to flash that too to fix the constant drop of data connection even though it reads 4g, but I don't know that that will fix that (lots of thats) problem either.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Does it matter? 100mb of free ram is the same as 200mb free isn't it? It's all unused. with GB, it has a pretty good system for managing tasks, so I didn't think it would be a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Gandii420:
Well, that's true. Even while trying to hurt my phone it doesn't bog down or lag out due to low ram. Thank you for the insight.

Also, with the modem thing..should I open up another question for this? Its something that's now becoming quite the hassle, it drops data way to frequently to be normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
I read somewhere once that having lower ram is actually a bad thing. The android operating system stores information on apps to help it launch those apps faster. When you clear it out it takes longer to launch because it does not have the information stored anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Gandii420:
For the most part I only have the necessary things required to make my phone work turned on. Aside from Go launcher, and a couple widgets (1-4mb a piece) running. I'm just stumped on where the rest of the memory is, or what's using it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Are you getting a bunch of launcher reloads? If so, then you might wanna consider switching roms. I tried a few rom/launcher combinations and stuck with audiophile ftw with the newest init.d pack. Stopped my launcher reloads unless I was using a really ram intensive app like plants vs. zombies.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
The ram operates like on any computer. if it is cleared, you need to rebuild your workspace cache. If you clear the ram on a phone, you will have to wait a bit longer for the cache to rebuild. It's minimal though. unless you get an error or an fc, I would say there is no need to clear your ram on the phone, especially with the great built in task manager. For games zombies or pewpew, yea, it makes sense to clear it prior to playing, but the system should do it for you anyway, shouldn't it?

Also, do what fbis suggested. Will make a difference
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daxecutioner24:
Yeah honestly you think about what takes the most ram in use stuff like browsers,skype,youtube etcc...but of course you Wont be using all of them at the same time!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] avrillapete:
After using my phone for a while, I usually have 60-80mb free. Just different services running etc... Phone doesn't slow down, never have any real memory problems, and the only time I sometimes get a launcher reload is after playing a memory hungry game like PvZ or Gun Bros, and even then it's pretty rare.

Unless it's malfunctioning, those apps sitting in memory will just close if something needs it, you can see this first hand if you view your free memory right after playing a game, I usually see anywhere between 140-200mb free. It then gradually goes down as I use other apps and as some of them auto sync etc.

Except in the case of a buggy app, Android seems to be pretty good at managing memory.

I believe some of the low memory paranoia would go away if we had a task manager like Windows has where it tells you what memory is Cached, Available, and Free. I'd be freaking out as my netbook only has 3 mb free out of 2 gigs right now if Windows didn't tell me the other info lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Gandii420:
Yea, I'm not getting any heavy launcher reloads. Even if I'm playing a Gameloft game everything seems to run quite smooth. I guess I was just freaking out about the numbers.

I thank you all for the responses and help. I think I'll do a little more research on flashing modems and such before I ask anything about that. There's a helluva lot of information to read about.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
As what everybody said here, the 100ish MB free RAM is fine. Android caches the processes so it'll load up faster when you open an app again. Of course, if you clear your RAM, you clear these caches too. When Android needs more memory, it'll kill an app to provide for more memory.

Also, do NOT use a task killer. I can't emphasize that enough. Using that will kill your necessary apps, which will eventually cause your phone to do random reboots. Many people have reported that.

Am i wrong or is this just a small bug? Has MIUI the newer kernel?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DoofDoof13:
Hi all,

I am running mango 7720 (v2) - radio is still 5.69 for 2 weeks now.

Have installed both radios 2.15 and 2.12 without any luck in regards to the camera trick. it worked upon a fresh format (-5ma), few apps later i am at -74ma. Battery lasts 9hrs 3g on, barely any use!!! dropped over 90% overnight.

I am aware that 5.51T/5.51 radio fixes this problem but i am waiting until XBmod releases the radio package without the need to format the phone.

I am running radio 2.12 for a few days now with horrendous battery life, until i came across something random.

Now, my drain is at -4/5ma and it lasts well over a day with 3g on. This is what i did (tested for 2days and loving it!):

Connect to wifi, turn off phone, turn phone on, do camera trick, turn wifi off, turn airplane mode on, then off and there you go!

Have tried doing the trick with/without reboots/wifi/airplane mode touched, - all failed!!! How weird, yes?

Hope this helps others....

Update 1 (14/9): Upon further testing (with just 3g on), i have been able to simplify the trick. Turn off your phone, turn it back on, put airplane mode on, then off, DONE! (no wifi, or camera trick needed!!).

How i test drain: I open HTC battery tool and put the phone in standby (ensuring i have reasonable 3g reception, as poor reception is an absolute battery killer on its own!!!). I put the phone back on after 3-4 minutes and i observe battery drain.

Readings: Upon restart -80ma, airplane mode on -8ma, airplane mode off (3G on) -8ma!

Geez, i love HTC, Mango and the people on xda that made this combination possible!!

Update 2 (25/9): For the last week, i went back to radio rom 2.15 (better reception for me) and now my battery is normal (-8ma) WITHOUT doing a thing..no battery trick, airplane mode, nothing. I do not think it is due to rom 2.15, as it started doing this while i was on 2.12. I have also installed another dozen apps or so. Seems as though mango just needed time or something, as ridiculous as that sounds. I have soft reset my phone a number of times and went straight to the battery tool, with 3g on, and battery loss is fantastic.

Go figure...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] skoti7:

I have 2.12 and 5.69, has been working a treat now for a number of days, with a number of soft resets. I guess to answer your question, it will depend on others testing my 'fix', since i cant.

Huge drain seems only to be a problem with 5.69. How huge is your drain on 5.51T? What is your battery current at? What do you have on (3g, wifi, etc.)?
