[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronny71:
I remember reading do not use Rom Manager ...too many problems ...as far as recoverey I always use Rogue...Tried the new Touch from a kernel...didn't like it much so i don't use it...I bricked twice but got back thru Odin...I'm a Flashaholic...so now I try to be careful and use Proven Methods for flashing...since then never a problem...:cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
well, I know I have been able to do RESTORES from ics to gb, without any problems, using whatever recovery was on the phone at the time..

I think most peoples problems occur if they:

Flash anything from within "ROM MANAGER:- you have to be in recovery mode when you flash stuff on this phone!

Use Touch Recovery in any shape or form; it may work fine for some, but too many bricks have this in common, so you might as well avoid it for now

Of course, even though "veterans" have bricked their phones recently, I think more often that not, its folks who are new to this phone, or to flashing in general. that are getting the most bricks.

"When in doubt, DON'T"!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] *GalaxyDev*:
just like above jajaja i was out about a month in mexico returned and noticed one cm9 update 3 fb00 roms new recoveries new edited roms and flashed everything jajaja (flashaholic) and just like that returned to gb with no issue jaja so lucky

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yeah I've restored a GB Nandroid from ICS, and back again without any problems, but with all the bricks flying around lately I'm not going to do it again. I haven't gone near Touch Recovery or ROM Manager, so I'm probably okay, but I'm not taking any chances. When I go anywhere from my current FB21 setup I'll be flashing a full EL29 TAR in Odin first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thebenshow:
3rd Android phone, 5th android device. Been flashing for a while, just didn't read that much into this phone. Granted, by the time I got my first flash on it, I knew it was a different beast. That being said, I overnighted a USB jig from Amazon, plugged it in and nothing happens. I plug my phone into my charger and the LED blinks, but when I unplug it the LED fades to black. I read on Youtube comments I will likely need a restore to EK02, does this leave jtag as my only option?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixelexip:
Well, first of all the short history of my i9000:

Came with froyo, upgrade it by Kies to Gingerbread, rooted, flashed in CM7, flashed SGSICS.

Kay so, now i want to go back beacuse SGSICS is a bit sloooow. But it seems like if i flash by CWM it will brick because of the bootloaders.

Question

With the ICS bootloader, can I go to other ICS ROMs? (maybe its obvious)

If I want to go back I'll have to use ODIN (heimdall opens and instantly closes to me). I already have a I9000XXJPU Froyo ROM, but I'm not sure about the steps I have to do for a successful flash (can anyone tell me?). Finally, is it more dangerous to go back because of the bootloader?

Advanced

thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerilmg:

Emmm, yeah ok i morealess knew that :o but I'm going to do it with Heimdall finaly and to backup \efs do I simply copy it to my PC?

Do you now any totorial of Heimdall?

And could anyone answer my other questions?

also any bugs present in cm9 will be in miui as well (ex: video tearing)

tomorrow's MIUI release should have a lot of upstream fixes and if cm9 alpha 6 comes out sooner than later, we might have an awesome miui v4 build!
[Epic 4G General] hotwired34:
I have been using this rom since it was released and so far, for me, it has been incredible. I tried the last version of MIUI and really gave it a chance(4 days.....like an eternity!)...but for some reason or another, I couldn't get myself to 'love' it.

With this version, I notice less issues with the video, less issues with force closes and overall, a more 'flashy' experience!

On the down site, I do notice that it gets HOT sometimes...and that usually means my battery is going to be killed. I have noticed at times that the drop is 10-12% per hour......

But I digress....let's keep the thread focused on Tips/Tricks for the rom!

Thanks for your feedback.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] MaverickCoast:
Looking for a (mp3)media player that can backup the playlists that are created and then can be restored when you wipe and install a new ROM.

I have tried PowerAmp, the stock Music Player, and Double Twist, but with no luck. Maybe I'm missing something. :confused:

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] youpiyo:
you can use the software or winamp. Before wiping you can do a nandroid or use titanium backup with backup App+data.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MaverickCoast:
I use Titanium, but after restoring with Titanium, the playlists are empty. Haven't tried Winamp.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Google Music. Backs up everything to the cloud that I am aware of. It should bring back all your playlists. :) I don't use them. But I do know that all my songs are immediately brought back to working order. So there.

And you can access it on any computer that you log into with you Google account. :)

Thanks > > > >

I recommend this over others, because of it's cloud syncing features. If you have a large data plan, you can stream music you don't want wanna keep on your phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ppalbicke:
Yes google music keeps your playlists.

You can try the miui music player too, as it has playlists that I believe stay.

Latest Version of the Apk attached.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mikig_mkd:
Use Titanium Backup and Back up: [Playlists] Media Storage 2.x.x Next time just restore the same thing(data only) and the playlists are there

Simple as that.

Hope i helped
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Doin it wrong, I use Doubletwist to sync my itunes playlists, it puts the playlists on your internal, then use Poweramp as my main player which finds the playlists files with no problem.

When I flash a new rom I just select the "reset doubletwist" option or "rescan" option in poweramp. These option get the playlists back every time. (also in Poweramp you can select the music folder that poweramp searches for)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MaverickCoast:
Thank-you all for your suggestions.

I found out that if you use doubletwist on your phone with the desktop version (Didn't know there was a desktop version!), you can sync playlists from Windows Media Player to PC doubletwist which will then sync them to your phone.

I already had the playlists on WMP, so it turned out to be a simple solution!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Double Twist does come in handy, my biggest complaint on android is not having itunes...problem solved with doubletwist phone+desktop :D

I DO have a Zune tho :D Wouldn't recommend that **** to anyone lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:

Waaay ahead of ya buddy, I've got all my music on the Google cloud already :cool:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Oh. How did you get your music over?

And I was saying because because you used double twist over whatever..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Most of my music came from Limewire/Frostwire and I ripped the DRM off of my purchased like a year ago for my Zune, I don't remember how I did it but it worked lol but thanks for the heads up anyways! :D

I've been using Google Music since it was in beta a while back and love it so no more itunes...or poweramp lol

[General Questions and Answers] Jeffreyw84:
Hi,

I have a problem whit my Samsung Galaxy Note. When ever I have rooted my phone, the touch screen randomly stops working. It seems to happen whenever I come near the proximity sensor during the time when I make a call. I know that it is used to dim/lock the screen during the call but it seems that the touchscreen system chrashes at that point and stays in that locked mode. After a reboot everything is fine untill it randomly happens again.

When such thing happens, the stylus is working but the finger touch is not reckognized anymore. The strange thing is that when I unroot my phone everything seems to work fine.

And that is a bummer because I cannot sent it for replacement because everything seems to work fine when my phone is stock/unrooted.

The phone is brand new, got it last saturday.

Is there any one who has heard of this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Jeffrey

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thisguy2431:
I just got off the phone with Samsung and they confirmed my hunch that the Galaxy Note does NOT have NFC capabilities.

Why would they include it in the skyrocket and then drop it in the newer note?

Do you think it could be because of the way that AT&T is going to handle NFC by requiring a special SIM card? Will the SIM card take over the NFC of the phone?

Does anyone know anything about this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sinful Animosity:
We have the NFC chip in the back cover. Its just not enabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thisguy2431:
Is that what this is then? I wonder why samsung would say it doesn't have it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JohnJonsten:
RTFM......

From page 138.

NFC

Near Field Communication (NFC) will be available on this phone

in the future, but is now temporarily disabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JoshEngland:
I am hoping this will be opened up at some point with later releases of software, custom or not. I would love to slim down my actual wallet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thisguy2431:
I had seen that but had also seen people saying that it didn't have it which is why I called Samsung. Just conflicting answers so I went to the source. Now I'm not sure why Samsung would say it doesn't have it when it does and is just inactive. My initial questions are invalid at this point as the users above have pointed out that it does have it and I posted the picture showing what I assume is the NFC chip.

That being said... I really hope that one of the great Devs around here can cook something up that enables it. I used it on my skyrocket and am missing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Snizzoop:
IMO, the ROMs should be created from the Canadian versions...or at least have the stuff you need stolen from them.

NFC is active

Can turn LTE on and off

Have S Planner

See isis.com
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JoeDV:
My guess, NFC will be made available with the roll out of the iPhone 5. Of course, that will essentially give the iPhone exclusive use of the feature for at least 6 months while it's slowly rolled out to older phones that have it disabled. (not that Apple would ever make a deal to stymie the competition so it looks like they were an innovator of something)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] supermerkin:
Open the back of the phone up, look at the inside of the back casing, the thing attached there with the 2 contacts on it is the nfc chip or radio. We have it, its just not active on the stock ROM but I assume will be on the ics upgrade or custom ROM as some have already pointed out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Made2Last:
nothing works with NFC unless you happen to live in a bigger city, and not even then usually. It's just a check box feature on phones. It may have a place in the future, but currently there is no use for a majority of people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mastaofdacat:
This lil guy wants to work with you .....CAN SOMEBODY LET ME FREE !?! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thisguy2431:
So I installed the saurom ROM as soon as I saw it yesterday and it does in fact enable NFC.

For now the best thing that I've been able to do with NFC is use an app called NFC Task Launcher. Basically you program these NFC cards to active a task in your phone. So you have one on your desk at work. You sit your phone on it and it disables cell radios and enables wifi. You set it on the tag on your nightstand and it silences your phone. You get the idea.

Until AT&T releases the new SIM cards that have the added security in them through ISIS we won't be able to use google wallet.

Gee, what do you know? iPhone5 looks to have NFC

Now, odds that ATT will block it on the iphone as well? If you said zero (0)... pat yourself on the back! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nerdninja:
The official leaked roms enable it. I have stickers at work, in my car and at my nightstand that change profiles when you wave the phone over them. Wifi on/off, brightness, notification volume etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TOA Duck:
+1. We've had fully functioning nfc for a while. Not google wallet but nfc works good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jprovence:
I was on Team Perfections ICS ROM for a while (back to stock) and I having been using Android Beam with my gf's HTC ONE X. It works out of the box with NFC enabled. I sent map directions, contact info, website, youtube, picture. It was pretty cool to hold the phones back to back for a few seconds then the screen popped and the phone dinged, then I tapped to beam to her phone. It was really easy and very well implemented throughout the OS. Oh yeah, first post. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JoeDV:
Oh absolutely, custom roms will enable it. However, when it comes to mobile payments, ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile are working together on Isis which will likely be included with the iPhone5. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Apple modifies the NFC communications just enough to have their own blend. This would of course make android phones incompatible with apple tags, and with the carriers already behind Isis, put the nail in the coffin of Wallet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joebeta:
I used NFC to send my wife a contact on her S3. We put our phones back to back, and I tapped on the screen to verify, and it went to her phone.

I tried a pic, but only the S3 can transport photos, movies, and music using S-Beam.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theROMinator:
That's a joke, simply a software limitation put in by AT&T to "age" the note and give exclusivity to the S III.

Btw, want Google Wallet? Here you go ;)
