[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nabbu:
Also if you read up about a jigg for the epic touch, in case this doesn't work, them that could also fix it. You might need to spend something though but I can't clarify this because i've never bricked before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BetatesterFaze:
Yea he's explained it better than be. I'll just be posting from my laptop here on out. On screen keyboards kill me. I miss my g1s QWERTY. Ah well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OmarEvo:
I press volume down and power but the custom os screen doesn't show up, all the phone does flash the blue notification light and the screen looks as if it is off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordFan21:
This isnt something that a jig can help and for everyone else trying to help he cant access download mode or recovery.

You're most likely hard bricked and the only thing you could try is to leave the battery out overnight then try to turn the phone on again. If you still have black screen with just the notification LED on then the last resort would be a jtag service which isnt guaranteed to work either.

This is a known issue from wiping any partitions on an ics kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OmarEvo:
What would a jtag service be?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nabbu:
You're going to need a USB jig to get your computer to recognize your phone to download the firmware over the current one. Wait till tomorrow if someone doesn't respond because i'm assuming all the devs and admins are knocked out and they are the ones who can help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Geez a lot got posted while I was typing.

Seeing as how you can't get into download mode or recovery I'm afraid you're out of luck. (unless the jigg thing works, which I don't think will at this point)

This is a hard lesson to learn but exactly why you don't take any shortcuts when flashing custom ROMs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OmarEvo:
What is a jtag service, and how would I go about it if I tried to get it done?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nabbu:
Thanks for helping them out! Its late and I forgot about the overnight battery pull and jtag. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Do a search in this forum, since there's been a lot of bricking I'm sure you'll find a ton of threads concerning this.

Thats one of the companies offering jtag services. I believe some people have used it before but im not sure of their results.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OmarEvo:
Yeah, I'm only sixteen, so I'm trying to grasp all these different things. I'm used to htc because i had an evo, then i got an evo 3d. I use the e4gt as a second phone, but all the things for a rooted samsung are completely different compared to an htc. Thank you for all your help guys. I have learned my lesson now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Good luck. I hope the overnight battery pull helps or that the jtag folks can get you up and running.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OmarEvo:
For the overnight battery pull, when I try to boot it, should I try to put it into download mode? Or just plain boot? Thanks again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kmull4:
try going into download mode right after boot. But i'm sure you're hard bricked. If you have insurance on the phone then I would take it to sprint and try to get it replaced before jtag.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
I'm not convinced that it's bricked...

How to get your phone into Odin Download mode:

Power off device completely.

While the device is off, press and hold the power and volume down key simultaneously.

Continue holding down both the power and volume down keys. Your notification LED will blink blue once. Continue holding the buttons until the Custom OS warning appears.

Release the power and volume down keys and press the volume up key to enter Odin download mode.

If you follow these instructions properly and still cannot get into Odin download mode, try powering on the device normally and connect it to USB. Does your computer recognize its presence?

I saw some posts ask about ADB but I saw no answer from you. Please post back and tell us the results. I also saw some posts slapping instructions together to get into Odin download mode, but I wasn't sure if they were comprehensive enough. It seems like your new at this, in regards to the E4gT, at least.

What did you use to flash AOKP M5? If you used Rogue, CWM Touch or some type of temporary recovery to flash, you are out of luck and have a paperweight. Sorry to be so blunt. You need to follow OP's directions.

I'm on RR v1.7 Rom and Siyah Kernel v3.2b5.

When I long press the power button in lock screen, the camera flash light, but after around 5 seconds the phone reboot.

I'm thinking that the long press power button is like PC that will reboot your phone in most situation, and will apply to most ROM and kernel. Am I correct? :confused:

Any way to disable the shutdown or is it not possible?

Thanks.

This thread might suite my observations…

Many users were complaining about the quick battery drainage. So last night I decided to monitor the applications activities during the phone idle status. I launched a dozen commonly used apps and left the smartphone to overnight having all them in background.

During seven hours of idle time - 50% of battery charge disappeared. BUT I caught the guilty one. It turned out to be the Google Translate. Whilst left running in background, it’s loading CPU for about 60% and draining the charge. Thereby it may be used but MUST be killed when no needed anymore.

Apart of that I may add that I am very pleased with my battery life for the past three days - after I flashed the fabulous leak, and then uninstalled near 50 apk’s of the thoroughfine crap, and cleared the dalvik-cash. I deem it simply doubled from the time of GB period of life.

HELP Poor Battery Life on Android Revolution 2.2.1

Okay, here's what I've done to the phone since stock:

Root

S-Off using wire trick

Super CID

Flashed 4 EXT Touch Recovery

Ran SuperWipe script provided by Mike1986 for Android Revolution 2.2.1

Updated firmware package provided by Mike1986 for Android Revolution 2.2.1

Flashed Android Revolution 2.2.1

Flashed radio recommended by Mike1986

Wiped battery stats and cycled through two times

Still poor battery life

Checked radio md5 Sum and tried to reflash (got "remote not allowed error in fastboot)

Reflashed ROM

Still can't flash in fastboot, still apalling battery life

It LOOKS like the culprit is my mobile network signal, which is one big yellow line, as if I'm on a 24/7 phone call. Can't find any answers on the ARHD thread, and Google has failed me. ANYBODY?! I LOVE Mike1986's ROMs, but the battery life on this one is killing me.

Also, I still don't have the ability to flash a .img in fastboot, although I've definitely done it before, on this particular ROM even. I try to reflash the radio and get this:

writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

So, the first order of business would be a screen protector.

The one I've ordered is here:

http://www.nushield.com/index.php

It's a custom fit and sounds good. I will post a review when it arrives.

Next a case seems prudent.

It appears that the PCBK-A7 which was given away with the A7/A7+ bonus kits is the only custom case around for the Elocity tablets.

This is the cheapest price I've found so far:

So, the battery life seems decent so far but who's happy with decent?

First, power adapters.

So the news appears good. The A7+ (and I assume the original A7) seem to use a standard 19v notebook power source. Not quite as good as USB, but still, virtually ANY universal notebook power supply should work.

I'm using a KROSS brand adapter personally.

Second, external batteries.

Same story as the power supplies, any universal notebook external battery should work.

I'm personally using an iRecharge by Cellboost. The nice thing is that it uses the same adapter tips as the KROSS power adapter I'm using. Very convienient when I'm on the road.

Lastly, car adapters.

I don't have one yet, but I'm checking.

This one appears to use the same tips as my current A/C brick and battery:

It's nice to see a part number for an actual case that is designed for the A7+. It is a little chunkier than other 7 inch tablets so it doesn't fit most standard cases made for 7 inch tablets.

My Sprint Photon 4G's screen starting going weird for no apparent reason. It started with random flashing colors and eventually started to just look like an old tv that could not tune in a station (the touch screen still worked as it registered feedback and I was able to hook it up to my tv via hdmi).

Anyways I brought it in the Sprint repair today thinking it might be a loose cable. They stated that they tried to replace the touch screen and it did not help and chalked it up to a bad motherboard. I thought that was a bit odd to be looking at the touch screen, but figured they knew more than I. They ordered a replacement to be sent to my home address.

Anyways, I started to look closer at the phone they gave me back and I realize it is not the phone that I brought in. First off the kickstand on this new phone is perfect where my had scratches. The MEID, HEX and other ID numbers are all different from my Sprint Photon 4G's box. I find it weird that they would give me another non-working phone and not mention the swap. Is this a common practice. Granted they are to send me a replacement phone via the mail, I still find the situation odd. Any feedback would be great.

By the way, I fired up the new defective phone and the screen works great, the touch screen not at all.... Total reverse of my original problem.

UPDATE: Opera does work as desktop agent. Why not any other? I tried all usual suspects, including the ICS browsers.

I have tried every main browser app and same result. I have tried different agents in different apps (desktop, IE 10, Firefox 9) with same result. The tablet is always seen as a mobile device and not a desktop. I had the same problem with the Droid X 2. Of all the devices had: Gtablet, G1, Incredible, Droid 3, Razr, Thrive, Flyer, View, A500 and Prime, the A510 and the Droid X 2 are the only devices to have the problem.

I already have an iPad that is seen as a mobile device by design, but expect better from Android. I may return the A510 if I can not resolve the issue.

Is this every site you go to or just a few select ones? I have seen a few sites regardless of sitting it to desktop view it stays on mobile with that device. Not sure the full reason why.

On a few sites, I have to generally click on the View Full site link of the page to pull it even if the Show Desktop Version is checked in the browser.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
I've noticed this with stock Acer ICS ROM's (both official and modded versions) on the A500 too. Opera Mobile will set the UA correctly in this case. Also, CM-based ROM's work perfectly for setting the UA on any browser, including stock (or ICS Browser+ available on the Play Store). I'm assuming the A510 will be the same.
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
All sites see the A510 as a mobile device, regardless of agent string used. It may seem that some sites are not, but some sites are more generic rather than mobile specific site options. If there is a mobile version, the A510 goes to it, unless the web page has an option of which to go to (this is rare).

This is very annoying. I have no desire to root and use another rom, so might go back to my Thrive and wait for another option.
