Go with any GB rom (CM7.2 RC1 for me with Faux kernel), they are much smoother and faster than ICS roms currently are. I have tried every ICS rom (even with harshs latest kernels as of yesterday) and while they have made great strides I find CM7.2 RC1 to still be much smoother and faster (especially under heavy usage).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
I'm just wondering. I came from the first epic and that was much easier to flash stuff on to. I came to this phone and was able to successfully root flash and boot on the first attempt.	Do people not read the whole first post?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
If you asked this question about 1-2 months ago, then the cause is because the whole transition to ICS, especially from AOSP roms hasn't been smooth. During that time, the cause for bricks wasn't quite known and people who always wanted the latest roms suffered the most.

...with that said, if you still brick now though, then yeah, it's because you aren't reading the directions properly lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clide whit:
I don't flash anything until QB king makes a how-to video and I go follow it step by step as it's playing, don't see any other way if your playing it safe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
It was kind of hit and miss when first ics was coming out but they have figured out Samsung allowed a couple partitions to be written to on ics that wasn't that way on GB but until source is released for or phone people who don't read and flash with ics kernels will continue to brick ....its sad that its still happening
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yeah it's because of the issue with wiping partitions while running an ICS kernel repacked with CWM. This issue is much more pervasive, if not exclusive to AOSP ROMs. Some of the early bricks didn't necessarily involve an AOSP ROM, but rather CWM Touch recovery and "temp" recovery via ROM Manager. Today, they seem to all be flashing an ICS kernel repacked with CWM on an AOSP ROM then running some kind of system format.

People on the whole have never read or educated themselves before flashing, so until the issue is resolved (hopefully when Samsung publishes their kernel source code) there will continue to be bricks. Those that read and stay in the loop will be saved the frustration.

FYI, there were VERY few bricks prior to the ICS leaks, and the few that bricked was the typical bad Odin, cable yanked mid flash, flashed the wrong firmware type of stuff. This phone WAS very hard to hard brick pre-ICS leaks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
Ah, well hopfully it returns to its hard to brick status once the ics source is out. Will we be able to have cwm permenitly once the source Is out?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Nope its part of the kernel when you install a new kernel it will overwrite your cwm and give you whatever is packaged with it if its the same ROM usually the dev will use the same cwm but some devs like different versions rouge acs etc ....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
Damn, will the recoveries that come with the kernels not brick my phone at least? Or will I have to Odin every time I update/change a ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Your only sure fire safe route is to Odin or Mobile Odin the EL26 kernel with CWM recovery then wipe and flash from there. People flashing Touchwiz ROMs are using ICS recovery and wiping with format all or modified format zip and seem to be OK but the bricks are random. People have bricked wiping data, cache, and dalvik invidually as well so its best to play it safe unless you are willing to accept the fact that a random brick may happen

Once the source comes out the kernels and ics in general should become more stable so that bricks won't happen.

Hi, when i open my gamepad slightly my screen will flash black, and if i hold it in a certain positionbit will stay black until moved.

This also happens sometimes when picking up my phone

Is it a loose cable or something?

Should i get it replaced?

Rooted stock R800i, .42

Thanks

I got this problem too. But mine worse, sometimes when I wanna type a message the screen goes black, or the screen's light go like disco light, keep blinking at the home page and camera. I sent to Sony Centre to claim warranty but after few days they returned me and told me it was a software problem. Could this be kernel problem?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordanooo:
Yeah, sometimes just touching the screen can do it

I want to unroot before i cant see anything haha
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordanooo:
Ive noticed that its just the backlight that goes off, if i make it go black and look at the screen in light i can still see the things there

Im going to request a replacement regardless, starting to annoy me
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
I tried to reinstall stock firmware but no use. Still the same. I'm gonna tear everything apart and take a look at the ribbon.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
DO NOT I repeat, DO NOT take it apart!!

Once you do that your warranty is void permanently and no way to hide it! I can guarantee it's not your software. Revert it to absolute perfect stock and show them it still happens. I'm positive it's the hardware, NOT software.

If they don't wanna fix it after factory restoring, threaten to call head office about it because you already know it's hardware error and they are refusing.

And also mention that many people on the internet are aware that the slider cable is faulty, many have replaced it and fixed the same problem you have.

I'm thinking of mailing them, and requesting they have a recall because more and more people are having the same problem.

[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
My phone for some reason keeps turning off and no matter what I press I cannot get any response. The only way to get my phone alive again is to pull the battery out and reinsert. I have never dropped my phone. This has happened twice this week Tuesday and Saturday.

I'm unlocked via htcdev and s-off using revolutionary. I'm on ice cold 7.2 farewell edition.

Any help on preventing this or explanation would be great.

Thank you

[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
Give us some more info. What rom, what kernel, any rogue apps just before this started happening?
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Ice cold 7.2 farewell edition, and its just the standard kernel. No apps have been installed that should of caused this as ive used them all for months.
[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
IMHO it unfortunately sounds like a hardware issue unless someone else has some insight into it.
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Thats what i was afraid of haha. If it was a hardware issue, due to HTCdev unlock does it mean i cant claim on warranty?
[HTC Incredible S] vieose:
Its because oc i had the same issue.

I have not altered any settings? Every setting to do with CPU is stock...
[HTC Incredible S] vieose:
Set you device in tge Settings to

192 -10xx mhz ondemand and look if it reboots.

If it does make a backup and wipe everything and install the rom and apps again.

Is it ok to click, set on boot. Or if i do this will i have issues?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zicoz:
One thing that I seem to be missing in the marketplace is apps that does live-streaming of video, the latest to be added to the list is the MLB app that has audio-streaming, but no video streaming of live games, so is it WP that doesn't support this, or is it the developers that doesn't want to?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shardnet:
Live streaming from or to the device? Otherwise there doesn't seem to be an issue with live streaming to the device. Considering a number of RDC's use similar features. No clue about streaming from the device though.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zicoz:
Stream to the device, take my MLB example: At Bat 12 for Android and IOS can show live gamestreams , but WP7 can not. (And the WP one is even more expensive, but that's another case). An then there is sites such as Ustream, justin.tv etc that doesn't seem to be available on the platform.

If I remember there was a 3rd part Ustream app, but watching livestreams didn't work.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
What is the "live gamestreams"? :confused: If you mean "live sport game events": WP7 can perfectly stream live video; but seems like a content providers don't care much about WP7 support.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zicoz:
Yeah, livestreaming of games, thanks I guess we just have to put some preassure on the developers then.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gloamin:
I've been looking for an app that does this for me as well, mainly for gaming content. There are quite a few out there that seem to be able to stream live video content, like the RedBullTV app and I believe there's a Youtube Live app as well, so with my limited developing-knowledge, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.

FlashVideo For WP7 has recently added support for several "Live Video" sites, mostly sports at the moment though. Not sure if this specific update has hit marketplace yet, but the changelog are up on his site. Can't link a source due to low post-count, but it can be found if you look up the app in the marketplace.

I've been briefly corresponding with the developer as well, asking if he would add support for justin/twitch.tv and own3d.tv, and I believe he would seriously look into it, but it seemed to something that would be added in the future because the sites "have many protections", in his own words.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Guys, as I've said before: technically it's very possible, not a big problem, live streaming are perfectly supported by WP7 (via MS Smooth Streaming technology etc.). The big problem is CONTENT. Nobody will develop app to play stolen content - for ethical reason or because app will be banned from the mp shortly. So direct your questions to your sports channel providers...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gloamin:
What of sites like Justin.tv who seem to encourage people to make use of their tech for own applications?

I can't link to the source directly but it can be found if you go to justin.tv and click on API at the very bottom.

justin.tv/p/api

Again, my knowledge of development in general is very limited, so I have no real idea what the significance of this is... Would be grateful if someone could enlighten me and if it could mean the possibility of a third-party app?

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
This topic is about professional sport events live video streaming. I don't understand why did you mention justin.tv...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gloamin:
From what I gathered, OP was asking about live-streaming apps for WP7 in general and he also brought up both Ustream and Justin.tv in another post so I figured it was relevant to the discussion.

Is there any significant difference between "professional sport event live video streaming" and services like Ustream and Justin.tv? The latter have provided streams for sport and competitive events in the past as well, and continues to do so.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Nope, you are wrong. He wants to have "livestreaming of games". I don't watch games but I'm pretty sure there are no free live broadcasting of the Red Sox or Bruins games on Ustream and Justin.tv, for example.

P.S. 2 OP: you should mark your question as answered 'cause WP can handle live streams. Your second question "why I can't find app/service for that" is a different question :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gloamin:
Fair enough! I guess this is what confused me...

Regardless, I guess it's a discussion for another thread. Thanks for your clarification regarding live streaming and WP7, it's something I've been wondering about as well!

And again, to OP, the developer for FlashVideo for WP7 has stated that he will add support for several "live sports streaming sites", I don't know if there is anything of interest to be found there but still worth a mention I feel.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
By the way, as for temporary solution you may use Skype and broadcast live event yourself from the home PC equipped with video capturing board and connected to your cable box :D

Im currently running the first flight Rom and wanted to go back to alpha 2...i tried a reflash but my phone is still on the other Rom, i did another reset and reflash of alpha but it still hasn't change. I than tried to use my nandroid backup which ice used before but when i try to use it it tells me nothing on file...what do i do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
After about 4 attempts i was able to flash alpha 2 and my back ups seem to be there as well...not just empty folders like before, weird
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
That is odd. Make sure you always factory reset multiple times as well as wipe cache multiple times when switching roms.

So you would:

- factory reset x3

- wipe cache x3

- wipe dalvik x1

- flash new rom

This should help with experiencing less if these type issues as well as other bugs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
I actually do those steps. I flashed one of the other ics roms and I didn't really like it so I tried to flash alpha back, after reboot I was still on the other rom...I tried again with same result, finally I used my backup. This time the same thing happened but I was on a different rom, the only difference was I wasn't able to use my back up, backup folder said "no file" when trying to flash, so I was pretty much forced to keep trying to flash alpha, finally it worked and I checked my cwm folder and my backups are there and are not empty. Odd
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
weird considering when you do a restore it erases boot partition before starting to restore so unless you used the wrong backup file it should've worked the first time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
I only used the restore one time a week or so ago because everytime I tried to flash back to alpha I was still on the collective rom. Thats when I used my backup and it worked but this time the same time happened....flashed alpha like 3 times and nothing happened, I than tried to use my backup but my phone told me the backup file was empty, I have 2 backups and my phone told me the same thing on both. I continued to flash alpha over and over again with wiping date etc each time and it finally worked, and my backups have data in them unlike before.

CDMA Verizon razr maxx

I had it on .173 with root. Then did the update to .181 on soak.

I then used the ICS installer to go back to .173 and then install ics

Everything was fine even root stayed. I didn't like the whole battery issue so i tried going back to .173 with the ics installer.

Somewhere along the line it messed up I suppose. At the beginning it says

mbmloader. Failed

Cache fails

And one other thing.

Now the phone is stuck on Motorola sign on load.

I was able to get to fastboot once.
