@tcchuin WHAT ?!?!?! Your phone can't enter hboot? ANY phone, even eMMC fried can enter hboot. Even recovery can be entered via hboot. Nothing can be done in recovery, errors pop up.

Have you tried using some other battery?
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
Hi enigmaamit,

Do you think the risk is the same as you pull out the battery?

And this will affect the battery lifetime because of completely discharge.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Well this was obviously done in a time of desperation.

First of all, to answer your question, pulling a battery and reinserting it improperly is a well established way of bricking your device... Just search this forum! And NO, discharging the battery to the point if switching it off is completely safe IMO

And when faced between the choice of having a dead phone versus a potentially damaged battery, I don't think that's a very difficult choice to make...!!

Furthermore it was a one off incident and I'm pretty sure draining battery empty a couple of times will have no effect on its longevity.

Hope that answers your question.

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Strange logic since the bootloader is on the eMMC - block 18? :)

Fried eMMC means that you can see only the HTC logo or nothing at all...
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Bheja Fry!!

Actually i think what shrome99 is trying to say is that even in the case of a fried eMMC, it is sometimes possible to get into Recovery.

This evident by the error messages posted by members during the spate of eMMC deaths we have seen in the last couple of months.

These have mostly pointed out as the infamous "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log" that you get if you sometimes manage to bypass the bootloop and enter recovery. So i'll have to agree with him on this.

It has been possible to enter Recovery menu even in the case of fried eMMC chips

but

there have been difficulties doing so in many cases, where all you get is either a bootloop or a perpetual htc white startup screen. This is where i agree with amidabuddha, that an eMMC error can possibly result in a corrupted bootloader and may present differently in individual cases...

Then again there have been posts and threads in this very forum where users have been able to restore their systems after an eMMC got busted. Heck, there's even a tutorial about it! So maybe there are no blacks and whites here. There may be more than one kind of eMMC "fry" for all we know, with different outcomes... :rolleyes:

I dont really know if there is a single best answer. I'm just thinking out loud, trying to extrapolate from what i have read about the eMMC problems on the forum and ingeneral. I could be wrong here, but hey, Nobody's perfect, right? :p

Peace.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
IMO this is just a terms confusion

Actually the famous "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log" error is only a corrupted /cache partition that is very easy to fix (you can check the guide in my signature). There is a great panic around about this error. In fact the only scenario so far that this cannot be fixed is when your bootloader is an original Revolutionary/AlphaRev one (6.xx.xxxx)...referencing the same threads and guide as you probably :)

Please note fried and bricked are different terms...
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I Surrender!!

LOL!! I give up. There are only so many neurons that i have..!!!:D

I just hope none of us ever have to go through anything like that. And if it comes to that, well you guys are always there to fall back upon.

Peace out.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
wow, you may be right. RUU fixed many errors, and this errors do indicate a cache corruption. Maybe that has somthing to do with the new hBoot having less cache, maybe they actually fixed the problem !!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
So does this mean the battery pull thingy is not so much of a PITA with the new hboot?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
That's just my opinion, i'm pretty sure, but not completely sure.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Lets hope it does...

I Loooooooove the comfort of a battery pull (Remember the Nokia devices like the 3310? Been doing it on all devices ever since! I used to pull battery halfway through an sms send to cancel it!!! Lol)

But knowing that something so supposedly benign can kill you device is a scary thought!! :eek:
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
I think we should stay careful with this, cause battery pull is another construction sight then the /cache... error, but sure possible ;)

Recently I had started to lose wifi connection randomly, even when my tab was a foot away from my router. It was default 'never'. I switched to 'when screen turns off'. For the last 24 hours I did not lose connection. Shouldn't it be the reverse? I mean the screen turns off and wifi not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] darthvince:
Hello all,

I started experiencing a strange problem a couple of days ago. When I set my clock to "automatic" time, my time jumps ahead 7 hours. Since then, I have found several people on IRC who are experiencing the same problem with this phone.

As of now, it is unclear whether the problem is caused by AT&T or Samsung, but I can tell you that the issue appears to be occurring regardless of what rom individuals are running.

So, the question; are you experiencing the clock issue?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
CheesyNuts just made a thread about this, so there are other having this issue.

I being one of them, but i just set the time myself and its been ok.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonyXperiakiasT:
how to overclock my xperia x10i? please!!!:(:(:(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatBigDog:
1. Root your phone, install XRecovery and flash a ROM that includes an overclocked kernel. Then install SetCPU or similar such app to increase the clock speed. Note... SetCPU will not overclock your phone on it's own, it needs a kernel that has the higher clock speeds included in it. (Safe.... you can't brick your phone)

2. If you want to stick with the stock firmware then you'll need to root your phone, unlock your bootloader and install DoomKernel for unlocked bootloaders, and use the SetCPU or similar app again. (Not so safe.... possible brick if you screw up.)

Either way, if you have no experience flashing your phone the do lots of reading and ask lots of questions before you proceed. No need to start new threads for each question either, you can just keep asking them in this thread.

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Husarz:
I personally didn't saw any Android market game which had resized or oversized resolution on xperia x8. There are plenty of games which will work on Xperia X8 also 3D games which run pretty good. There is only one problem some games relay on multi touch (including video gaming console emulators). Which brings some difuculties in operating such software cause Xperia isn't multi touch capable.

You will get audio only if you don't have strong enough bandwidth. Did you try it on Wifi yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frieked:
Same issue here and yes I've tried with wifi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jromankvcc:
HBO and MAX Go

Same issue here.

On WiFi on 22Mbps, still didn't get anything but audio. The screen was completely black. I thought there was an error with the app and that it got locked. Tried unlocking, but went back to a black screen (locked), then hit the lock button again and went to the locking screen.

Tried HBO Go and MAX Go on both 3G and WiFi yesterday. Black screen with audio. Just tried on 4G and can confirm it didn't work either; same black screen with audio only. Getting 5Mbps right now on 4G.

As a comment to reference, up till saturday morning, when I got the E4gT, the Evo3D was having no problem showing these videos. From time to time I would get the odd "sound only" message, but it would be gone within seconds and the video would come back up.

With people commenting about data issues, others with radio issues, etc. makes me wonder if it's hardware and not software. Maybe a new kernel fixes it, but I haven't tried that yet.

Is there anybody able to get video on HBO Go and MAX Go at the moment? Could you provide as to whether you're using stock kernel or one of the rooted kernels; if rooted, which method, and ultimately, what type of connection are you using and what type of bandwidth do you have?

Hope we can shed some light into the issue.

Yes it does. Unlike some of the other devices that have a micro USB port, the Thrive's full sive USB port provides 5VDC standard power out like your PC. In fact, it will power multiple devices via a USB hub.

Then used EaseUS Partition Manager to format my 16GB SD Card to FAT32.

That clears things up a little!

I9100XWKI4 Is European then?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
This is standard across most Samsung Phones.

I'll use I9000XWKE3 as an example.

I9000 = Model #

XW = Carrier/Area code. For example, XW = Europe, UG = Bell Mobility Canada.

K = Year = 2011

E = Month = May

3 = Revisions that month.

A lot of people on here think the last 3 digits are important and that if you have 2 KG3 firmware that they are the same. However, this is not the case.

You need to go by all 5 letters due to the fact that each firmware is customized by different groups at Samsung. And to prove this, just look at KG2. There are 2.3.3 KG2's and there are 2.3.4 KG2's.

It's actually possible that one area's KG2 could have been newer than another area's KG4. The best way to check, is to look at the build date in the Build.prop for each firmware.

I hope this clears it up for you.
