[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadouming:
Yes it is totally bricked. Unless you have chance and want to try something. The USB jig to put i9000 and i9100 phone in download is the same ( Both use 151k oHms). If you try to use a jig on your phone you might be able to put it back on download mode. However, i would doubt that it work. Since you don't have the good Bootloader on your phone, i'm more like 97% sure it wont work. The black screen only is also a good sign of death. Sry to ear that. JTag is not the same thing than the jig btw. JTag is how they put the first information, at factory, on your phone. It can be used to put back the good bootloader on your phone. But if i remember well, only phone compagnie ( On this case Samsung) and a few person have what it take to make a JTag.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dlev7:
Thats from the creator of the i9000 ROM you just flashed.

Your phone is 100% bricked, just wondering why did you flash an i9000 ROM on a i9100 ROM, thats not only the wrong phone, but you also added a PIT files with Odin which also is not good for the i9100, and this ROM contains bootloaders.

its 100% bricked, however there is light at the end of the tunnel. A good friend of mine at Mobile Tech Videos can fix your phone 100%

hes the only guy that can do this around the world, only does it for 50 dollars, and he can guarantee fix your phone.

Just dont do this again, maybe next time flash DlevROM :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soapywater:
i am very embarrassed about it. im new to this and i didnt notice that it was the wrong ROM. but why would i send it to your friend and not back to samsung? im sorry but im a little iffy about sending out my phone when there are 5 reviews, all with 5 stars and i have been searching and i havent found someone else with a hard bricked samsung galaxy s2.

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dlev7:
I mean this guy is 100% trusted, and email him if you have questions.

hes the best bet for getting it back fast, and working.

Samsung will most likely play games, take longer, and ask you how this happened.

its your choice, but hes 100% legit, you dont have to use him Im just saying this is the best bet for saving you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
Maybe if is better to send it to Samsung and let them figure it out.

If they ask what happened, just tell them that you left it on charger snd a few hours after it was dead. After all i doubt that theg can get info from inside the phone.

They will make a clean flash plus bootloaders.

That is what would i have done.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadouming:
They can access everything on your phone if they have it in their hand. The only thing is : Do they really give a f**k about what you really did. It's longuer to ask question than to only repair.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
Just send your phone to get repaired. then next time please read properly and more carefully before you start playing with rooting and flashing
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanksgiving60:
wow

i want my 3 mins back reading this thread...

this is unbelievable
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soapywater:
ok im sorry i understand that you feel like you want to critisize people when they make mistakes but there is no reason to try to make me feel any stupider right now, if there is nothing productive you can say then please dont say anything at all.

thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanksgiving60:
the reason why you should send it to dlev's friends shop to get it fixed instead of samsung is if samsung finds out what you did to the phone, they will probably charge you an arm and a leg for it...

the site looks legit to me...was that productive enough for you? :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
Send it to sammy. If they wsnt to charge you alot then take it to the other site.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
Hmmm let me think:rolleyes: Dlev mate or samsung were she would be still under warranty...hard choice i guess
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakeyabooti:
Unlucky my friend....on a brighter note....maybe you could get the rights on the word "Stupider"? is this realy a word? sounds cool though :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanksgiving60:
if OP does end up sending it to samsung, then i hope samsung doesnt find out or just simply doesnt care
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
well she should because one they WONT charge her and two i know who i out of the two i would trust to send my phone to. and the OP when she sends it should just mention something wrong happened hence why the phone is the way it is now...Either way its her(sorry just going by the Katie bit) to do what she wants..Either way i hope the OP get's the phone fixed and next time reads before she does flashing or roots....:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soapywater:
thank you all for your help. i think i will try sending it in to samsung and see what they say. and i have definitely learned my lesson.

Does anyone know were I can download the new icecream sandwich update from? Been looking for the past day and HTC update not working. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] mmcjam07:
Well the official Ice Cream Sandwich update is not out yet (I think until early to mid November). I'm sure there will be an SDK ROM (if not already) but they are hardly daily drivers. In the meantime, you can download this themed CM7 ROM from empiire. Its made to look like ICS. Its not just a theme though. It has other stuff too.

Edit : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316039

Also there is an ICS launcher on the market by syndicate that is pretty cool.
[HTC EVO 3D] southern87:
I am using that ICS launcher. Its really cool on Empiires CM7/ICS rom. The dual core support made my phone into a burner plate so I am running the non dual core version. I just dont feel my phone should feel likes gonna melt steel when just playing music lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Hmmm. I'm running dual core with no issues.

the ICS launcher from syndicate is great!!! i hope he is still working on it!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shelbymn7:
Hey everyone,

I have just completed my first android app and I am having a problem. It works on all my friends phones but not mine! The app is basically an away message for your phone and what it does is intercepts a text message if you have an away message set and then it auto replies to the person who texted you with said away message. I have a Thunderbolt that's running the latest CM7 and also I have the MR2.5 radio installed. I need someone with a similar configuration to test my app for me please. Again I need someone with a Thunderbolt with the latest CM7 and either the MR2 or MR2.5 radio. Thanks in advance!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
They finally arrived!

Good luck on putting them on ;)

I did 5 tries and it still a tiny bit off in one corner, i'll try again when i have some more patience in a free day :p

The cut is too perfect, there's no room for errors when putting them on.

Any tiny mm off and you end up with a bit of bubble at the sides.

The screen protector works, some of you call it the matte screen protector, yes it does give it a matte look.

Quick frankly the phone looks more sleek & elegant, more high class with this type of screen protector on :cool: it'll combine well with the D3O matte cases.

Some people says this type of screen protector ruins the screen colour or give them headaches due the rainbowy effect, here's a close up

IMO, i think it's working quite nice, it doesn't affect my vision, however it does makes the SAMOLED+ a little bit less crispy fresh, because it does removes the glare.

This screen protector might not be the perfect thing around, but it sure does what it advertises to do, it prevents glare and prevents finger prints.

My face is always oily, and the naked screen or those other Crystal Clear type screen protectors just causes too much problem for me, as i have to keep wiping the grease off the phone every 5 minutes of use.

But with this screen protector on i can carry on without any interruption and it makes the phone much more enjoyable, productive and fun.

Definitely recommended for other people like me with greasy hair and oily hands :D

- - - OLD content - - -

well i ordered a set to try them out

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2-ANTI-GLARE...763960?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43aa58ef38

not really expecting much

i have very oily fingers, and it's extremely annoying to have to constantly cleaning the screen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aqualadb03:
tell me how this goes. ironically i started a thread like 4 hours ago on the same subject.i think a slick glossy case with a matte screen protector makes a phone look beautiful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitalRev:
Those are simply matte screen protectors and though finger prints are less visible, the matte coating creates horrible pixelation of the screen. I switched back to the normal clear protectors because of it.

Though I must say the matte look gives the phone a sleek look. I can replace my clear protector with another matte one if people want to see the pixelation effect. I still have a few left over.

I bought a matte screen protector from cellularfactory and the rainbow effect is quite bad even though i haven't taken it off yet.

i've been thinking if all matte screen are made the same. there are some quite expensive matte protector that i havent pulled the trigger with. maybe i will buy the one you reviewed and see if it has less rainbow effect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
check out the close up picture i took

it shows some of it, in the white area and teal colour area

that's pretty close to what i see in real life

I just ordered some from Clarivue. I've used the anti-glare/fingerprint ones before, and they never gave me the rainbow effect. I'll give some feedback after some use.

Well after this awesome update to hc (rather lack there of) I am very weary of any news about an ics update for our device

Sent from my Evo View 4g
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] manacap:
I hope this is true. I suppose there might be an argument that since this is one of the few tablets with a pen, an ICS update (with more pen-utilizing code) would show off its capabilities better. And maybe the delay in HC is that internally within HTC a shift toward ICS was decided upon to save resources. Well, here's hoping. I would prefer ICS over HC, especially for the pen capabilities.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Well there you have it. We are saved. . If this guy says it, it must be true.

By the way, Acer and Motorola have announced January ICS updates to tne A100 and A500 and Xoom

Check this out - a Sense UI developer, Rasiwasia Samarth, is reporting that the Flyer is on the ICS update list (his opinion):

http://www.netbooknews.com/37668/htc-flyer-gets-android-4-0-phones-get-5gb-of-online-storage/
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ICHAPMAN:
Sadly that's a link to a 'news' website, who has picked on the same Google+ posting that starts this thread.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
Uhhh dude. This is discussed in the first post. Check the link.

Futhermore, take this list with a grain of salt. The Nexus One is also on his list and engadget just reported that the Nexus One will not be recieving the upgrade.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ICHAPMAN:
Agree, take it with a pinch of salt.

I'd be surprised that HTC allow employees to publish that kind of information, when it's not saying anything publically at the moment.

I realise that he does say that this is his opinion, but if really a "Sense" developer that opinion would have to have been formed based on "inside" information, and hence I'd have thought he wouldn't be 'employee of the month' at the moment.

Untrusting in me, suspects the his/her closest connection to HTC is ownership of a device.....but I'd have to add that this is his/her only post that I've seen. There maybe posts which would give more crediblity to their claims.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AF241:
Why don't these companies make it public if they are working on a update? I really don't see harm in it. This hard to get game drives me further away from them. Specially when a device comes out and they promise so much with it and then once they pocket your bucks, they some what push you away or forget about you.

"BAD HTC. You big player now? so you think you treat your customers bad! This will only bring your downfall. You climb too fast and you lose your grip - you fall fast and you fall hard. I for one wont be there with life net if you keep treating me like this".

Sorry for expressing my compressed anger at htc here. I dont have fb account to message them there.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dstrauss:
My apologies to all for being so dumb...and polyanna...and hopeful...and assuming that since a working alpha of HC was in the wild it made perfect sense that HTC would switch resources for the cross platform (smartphone & tablet) ICS version of Android...no intention to insult your collective intellligence...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
No, I agree it makes sense to switch to ICS but they should communicate with their customers in some official form. This way we won't get our hopes up when some guy posts a "maybe" list on his google+ page.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Zlatty:
HTC Sense + ICS might be an overkill...

I would be just happy with a sense-less ICS running on the flyer. CM team needs to add this baby to their arsenal.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kendallc123:
I'm not a big sense fan except for the customization and Widgets. Other than that, bring on Ice Cream Sandwich Cyanogen!!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I'm hoping that CM will take on the Flyer. We need to persuade one of our strong developers to lead the project. Won't be easy to keep stylus functions.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dstrauss:
This is EXACTLY why I keep saying daily prayers for HTC Flyer specific ICS - without pen support I might as well upgrade to another tablet...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TidBit:
Do you really use the stylus a lot? I just bought one from BB and don't see much use for it. I'm going to return it and get my $40 back.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] madnlooney:
i think htc telling people they are working on something can work 2 ways, clears peoples minds that their device is still thought of but also if there are any set backs the company gets slated as being unable to release something in a timely manner
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
I can see where some people would have no use for the pin.

However. I use mine daily. I build specialty parts in my shop and use the camera to take a photo of the area I’m working on then the pin to note all the dimensions on the pic. I can then return to my Cad workstation with all the info I need.

On a side note … I’m sitting here looking at a expensive 4 month device that is 2 operating systems behind … that’s just a sad way to do business HTC
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kkinder:
If you don't use the stylus, you might as well get a next-gen 7" Galaxy Tab.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TidBit:
No thanks... it's coming out @ $400.

Samsung Pricing

10.1 inch $499

8.9 inch $469

7.0 inch $399

It'll have to be a 4.5 Inch Samsung Tablet before they get low enough to equal the $299 I paid for my Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
To be honest I don't care if ICS comes to the FLYER as long as we get a well thought out HC upgrade. From what I hear the HC leak adds increased pen functionality which should satisfy the stylus users. Personally, I think Honeycomb would do just fine so we could finally use tablet specific apps, which are growing in numbers.

I realize that ICS would be better from a development standpoint, the source will be released unlike HC, giving the devs a solid rom platform. At this point though I'll take whatever I can get and I personally think ICS is unlikely. I would like to believe the guy in the OP link but I'm way too cynical for that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kkinder:
I paid $500 for mine. :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Lucas0511:
I cannot believe so many people and news sites fell for this guy - he is an imposter and is not speaking for HTC! The "list" is absolutely worthless.

Every HTC employee knows damn well that making "announcements" like this will get him fired!

That said, lets be glad we see an official HC update at all...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sjaak21:
Ah he probaby is, it is indeed weird for an HTC employee to make 'announcements' like that. On the other hand, I was not able to find anything negative about the man on the net. Let alone prove for him being an imposter...

Can you backup your claim?

Again, it most likely is. But let's just hope it isn't! :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dstrauss:
Yep - use it a lot to review/edit/annotate docs and pdf. Also trying to get better at taking notes in meetings, but it is just not as smooth and natural an inking experience as Windows.

"Sorry Virginia, there is no Santa Clause..." hey man, don't stomp on our parade. Also, please note that most sources quoting "this guy" point out he is a Sense UI devleoper, so he may not be a regular employee. Also (#2) - it makes a lot of sense to switch gears to put ICS out across the board of acceptable performance devices in order to reduce development costs.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] qhinton:
I'm just upset with android in general. Google said just a few months ago that every device will have a 18 month life span, and here we are guessing if we will get ICS. IT'S A RIP OFF some people paid $530 for this and if you purchased the pen then around $610. Wow. Personally I love the hardware (a little heavy) and feels premium. 2.3 is smooth but I wanted a tablet not a huge phone (promised HC). I'm a silver member at best buy and have 45 days to return which is almost over. I'll give it one more week if nothing offical comes out I'm may try the Samsung 7.0. In closing I have never owned a Apple product but if Android doesn't improve updating the operating systems and the stability if them, I will most likely be owning Apple or Microsoft product next year.

FYI Bestbuy has trade ins and they are giving 230 for the flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
You have good reason to be disappointed, but this is expected for an open product. (I grant that it is not 100% open, but lets agree this is as open source as we can get). Don't blame Google for this, blame companies that start selling tablets with phone OS. ICS will be the first release for an OS that supports both phones and tablets. HC was just something Google was forced to do to do keep tablet makes happy.

If you are looking for stability then wait for version 4.1.X. The issues are seeing now are common for early adopters.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kkinder:
Uhhh, the last even partially open source release was Gingerbread. Had Google been developing in the open, say with nightly builds, HTC would have definitely used those early in development and we might have had Honeycomb from day one.

Further, if Google had used a gnu license, vendors would be forced to release the code to things like HTC Sense and Touchwiz.

Android 3 and 4, as it stands now, are under the same license terms as Windows Phone 7. Purely closed source. Even if they eventually do the right thing with ICS, the way they develop in secret is still part of the problem because most vendors have very little advanced warning about what they'll need to do on upcoming versions.

Do blame both Google and HTC. Coming from the Debian world, I see Android as proprietary first but with some core components occasionally released. A lot like Apple's Safari.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I agree with 75% of your statement. The issues are not Google's fault, they do belong to the device vendors. Where I disagree is that it has nothing to do with "open" or not, but a lack of commitment from the hardware vendors. Yes early adopters can expect a few bugs, but they should also expect when they pay a high price for the product, that these bugs will be fixed and promised updates will come in a timely fashion.

The fact that a bunch of wildcat developers (Cyanogen) can and does produce consistently stable and timely releases of new features and OS updates for 67 different phones and tablets in over 50 different languages for free, and that a single good developer (Lee of LeeDroid for example) can significantly improve and stabilize HTC ROMs, proves that HTC and other vendors simply don't care to provide enough support for their own products.

The fact that Samsung was smart enough to hire the lead developer from Cyanogen to lead their future android software efforts, proves that Samsung gets it.
