[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Hi Folks.

Does anyone have any idea what a safe operating temperature for the Samsung Epic Touch 4G is?

I most recently have been using the usb to hdmi converter to play shows to my TV and then running a VNC Server on the phone so I can control the Epic from my laptop to pause, play, etc. while the phone is setting by the TV.

This works great, but with the video and the server running the Epic gets up to 42 to 46 degrees C.

I have felt phones get hotter, but I don't want to damage my phone either. It cooled down to 32 degrees C pretty fast after using it as a media center.

Any opinions or technical knowledge? I ran it for a few hours, and am hoping I did not cause any permanent damage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tubasteve:
I know epic 1 shut down at like 110° f. might be too low, but mime got so hot on halloween after using as projection for our haunted house. Bricked the phone until I factory reset it...played movie fine, just boot lopped.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I think I took the Touch to like 114F. I did not notice the phone misbehaving at all, and it cooled down fast enough. (Well not entirely true. It kinda froze up, but that happens everytime I unhook it from the TV, seems my ADW Launcher gets glitchy when using with TV, don't think related to heat.) I think the reason it really heated up was due to using as vnc server, would not even gain charge. Yesterday when I just streamed the video to the TV without vnc, it stayed charged and seemed cooler.

The phone you used for a projection, was it the Epic or the Epic Touch? And after doing the factory reset, did you notice any issues? Slower, freezing, etc.?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Just Bumping this...

Hoping to get some more incite into the Epic Touch temperature specifications.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Bump one more time. Anyone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I think that the phone shuts down beforehand but it would be nice to know what that number is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Thanks for the reply John.

I would think so too. Just curious as doing the streaming etc to the TV is very convenient but not worth damaging the phone. I really think its ok to do so though, the phone has been at 40-42C with normal use. Running a bit above that has not seemed to harm it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kd0axs:
I think I had a run in with a rogue app the other day. My battery was draining unusually fast and I plugged it in to charge, but it was charging very slowly and the temp got up to 120F according to the widget I'm using. I rebooted and everything has been fine since.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kiwiBeans:
Often times (I mean, very often) when I go to grab and use my phone I can tell by touch that it's hot and check the battery temp - those times it's usually 106° F and higher. I could tell you now that seeing my temp at 110° to 115° F doesn't surprise me at all. What kills me is that most of these times I'm not actively doing anything with the phone - I've just pulled it out of my pocket and think, damn, it's hot again.

A couple of weeks ago I updated the Widget Locker app to the latest version to try out the Honeycomb and Ice Cream lock screens, so after updating I played around with it for a while. My phone started getting hot - as in HOTTER than I'm used to. I checked the temp and it was screaming hot at 122°. What's worse is that it kept getting hotter and when I checked my battery monitor app it was definitely Widget Locker that was driving it up there. I powered off, let the battery cool a bit then rebooted. I plugged in the phone to regain some charge and checked it a little while later to see it was really, really hot again. Now at some point it was so hot it would NOT charge - stating this explicitly. I pulled the battery to let it cool and tried again later. This happened about 3-4 times before I said screw it and uninstalled Widget Locker all together. Hasn't done that again since.

So, if it helps you at all, temps around 110° - 115° have been fine for me. Over 120° would start to concern me and I think it stops charging and gives you a warning at 130°.

I've attached some photos of that particular instance. The last photo shows my temp distribution... I'm assuming all the time, and it surprised me at being an avg of 88°.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Thanks Beans! That was very useful information. I feel mich better now. Thats to bad about Widget Locker. I have used that app on occasion. I have not had a problem yet with it getting to hot on its own. But if it does I will assume its a troublesome app. Thanks again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I used to have a problem with Widget Locker in earlier versions but the updated versions have been much more battery friendly and my phone doesn't seem to get hot from it. I am using a custom slider that someone from XDA made though but I don't think that should matter

is there any way to port it and install it over the O3D???

I recently installed CWM on my transformer but I noticed it cannot perform backup because when it gets to mounting the /data it fails. I read that this could be because this partition is encrypted so it cannot be backed up. It there anyway to do a full rom backup on an encrypted tablet?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mike2518:
Ok, so I've had the Note for only a week and just today I noticed three scratches on the metal frame around the back camera lens. I've really babied this phone and only kept it in my pant pockets. It seems that its really easy to scratch it. Anyone else notice this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] roperband:
You know, they do make protective cases for cell phones nowadays.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mike2518:
Indeed, and I'm waiting for mines, which should be coming in this week. But even a case is not gonna protect the camera or the metal frame, but I guess it will lower their height a little bit due to the higher case.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
I cant decide if i will put my Note in a case. Ive always been an Otterbox Commuter fan... But this device feels good without.

Oh... No scratches here, yet.

I just ordered this:

Hopefully it will be enough to alleviate my fears on setting the device down and getting it scratched(as well as when its in my jacket pocket with who know what else)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
The DAY I bought my Galaxy Note it was put inside a protective pouch...

Been 2 weeks and looks like it was just unboxed... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vcespon:
I had the Galaxy S for one year before upgrading to the note. I carried it without screen or body protection on many pants pockets, backpack pockets, carried it to the beach, mountains...

After purchasing the Galaxy Note I gave it to a friend, and after a good cleaning, it looks as new. The screen is absolutely untouched. It only has a scratch on a corner of the metal on the border after a fall on concrete.

I don't know if the Note can endure this, for the moment I'll be very careful with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pjm77:
I just felt this is exaclty what is going to happen the moment I unboxed the phone. My solution was putting an old (but good quality - Vikuiti) screen protector so it covers the lens and surrounding plastic and carefully cutting around it with a hooked scalpel. Works perfectly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Unsinkable II:
As Cat Stevens said: "The first cut is the deepest'

It's just a phone.

Bear in mind how lucky you are that this is even an issue in your life.

Just a reality check.

I just expect that frame is gonna get scratched. Is what it is.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ujjwal.kanth:
Hi,

I am a newbie when it comes to ROM development for android. I have been a avid fan of all the development work that you guys do and wanted to contribute.

So, I thought of building my own ROM and in process learn how this thing works exactly.

I am decent enough Java Developer, and a full time Linux user. So technicality is not a problem. But i have some very basic doubts?

1. Where to start?

2. How to reach to the level where i can build my own ROM.

3. What are the places I can refer to.

I was thinking of picking up the code of cynogen mod and build something different. At this moment i don't know what different.

Anyway, the point is I want a guidance. specially where to start?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
ur posting in wrong section mate. question shouldnt be here in dev subforum.. btw

1 - ur already started by showing interest

2 - thats not a hard thing, anyone with linux experience can build their own rom. rom using stock samsung's as base is much easier. unpack, deodex, edit apk's, repack, profit. rom compiled from source eg aosp and cm is much harder.

3 - here. i think xda alone is enough for tutorials and such. u just need to know where to look. sometimes what we need is buried deep down under all this thousands of thread and post created everyday. thats when search button came to the rescue.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ujjwal.kanth:
Thanks a lot!

Actually I got interested in this when I saw my friends Galaxy S2 running Miui, and I want it to run on my Ace!

I know about limitations still I want to try.

I will search xda for information. But if you have any docs or have links bookmarked, can you please share it?

Hmm don't try. Unless you are able to optimize it for ARMV6 CPU architecture.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ujjwal.kanth:
Actually MIUI has not yet been ported to any ARMv6 devices (AFAIK). How I am going to do it, I have no idea. If anyone knows anybody working on this, and has made even littlt progress, please let me know.

edit:jazux of Team GreenMods is working on porting MIUI for Galaxy 3. Will that help us anyway?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ujjwal.kanth:
Thanks, I have contacted the dev of that ROM for help. After reading that thread, I realized that I will need lots and lots of help. :D

edit:Yeah Galaxy 3 is ARM v6
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msankadi:
Hi

I bought my unlocked samsung captivate recently and it had pre installed continuum rom on it. I tried to install CM7 on it, but things went downhill pretty fast after that.

This is what I did:

- Read the thread "read before flashing" got the cm7 mod and got the phone into downloading mode using the volume buttons and usb

- Then I read that I can use ROM Manager and used that to first backup and then selected the cm7 package in the install rom (I checked all 3 boxes to wipe data, both caches)

- After it rebooted it showed the Cyanogen screen but after that it kept going in loops - restarting and installing (for 3 seconds hardly)

- I put the phone again in the download mode (it went to the mode fine)

- After that, when I removed the USB cable or the battery I forgot which one : it booted back with random dots on black screen

Here is what I have tried:

- The 3 button combos and everything else just shows a blank white screen or a black screen with random dots

- I have installed the heimdall suite and installed the drivers using that

- my phone is recognized as "USB mass storage device" but nothing else works

- I have also tried the Odin method to detect the phone but it doesnt get detected

- I know about the USB jig but it will take 3-4 days before I can procure the mini usb jig

Please let me know what else I can try to get to download mode (I sincerely hope there is still a method left). As you all can see this is my first post here, so please let me know what other details I can provide.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
The white screen or black screen can be download mode. The image might have gotten corrupted. I recommend reflashing to stock an reinstalling either heimdall or regular samsung drivers. You can't have both since one mess the other one up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Check my sig. Link to a thread on how to get download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msankadi:
Hi

Thanks a lot for the prompt response. Something weirder than the last 5 hours happened:

- I connected the phone to the comp and launched kies just to try. It didnt do anything but it was recognizing the device

- I tried for it to connect left it for 10 minutes. Disconnected the phone since nothing was happening

- Then I disconnected again and powered off/battery out. Then connected usb then connected to comp and let go of the volume buttons (which I was holding before connecting to the USB)

- Win7 installed some driver and then somehow....somehow....it was detected in the "Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY" - it showed added

- After this I just clicked on it and all went smoothly from there on

- Now I am on the At&t stock firmware

Can anybody explain/think why this worked? Was it just a miracle :D:D:D ?

Also, any suggestions as to :

- what I did wrong the first time round which I can avoid this time when I install the mod.

- why was the cyanogen mod installation stuck in the reboot/install loop?

- Once I am in the download mode what is the safest mode to exit it? Battery out? USB out?

- Should I use ROM Manager or is it not a good software?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Sometimes you just get lucky. Most likely kies repaired the drivers, restarting phone got the ball rolling. I guess. Just be happy it worked.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
I can't speak as what exactly went wrong, and I haven't used CM7 in a long while BUT Rom Manager is trash for our Galaxy S phones. =( sad truth but don't waste your time with it.

Thanks, yeah I am definitely happy that it worked but now I want to try and understand the things I did wrong so that I can do it correctly this time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Don't use Rom manager next time. Do it from CWM (update.zip) or a kernel that has it baked. Do it manually is the best advice I can give you.
