[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phrack:
I see what you're saying - on a Windows PC internet shortcuts have a .url extension and when you click on them it opens whatever url is in that shortcut.

I don't think there is an equivalent on Android. I use bettercut which allows me to put shortcuts to browser bookmarks on a home screen or folder - I click on the shortcut and it opens that web page in browser. The website must be bookmarked in your browser however.

I tried putting URLs in a text file - clicking on the text file opens notepad and you click on the url which then opens the website. There's no direct way of clicking on an internet shortcut in a folder on Android though without using the afore mentioned methods. Maybe someone will code an app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c627627:
Yeah, if someone ever reads this in the future, pleas post if you came across anything that would allow us to browse through folders and click on url shortcuts created on PC and have them open a web page in any browser.

This has nothing to do with synchronization or previously used links.

This is about random never before seen url shortcuts that you come across inside folders which were originally created on PC and you simply want to open the web page shortcuts inside those folders *directly*.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tabsterleir:
Hi all,

So this is another question of curiousity. I "appear" to be unaffacted by the flash bug. I have flashed ICS multiple times, done multiple factory restores/wipes, been into recovery and done a wipe or two and my Note is still going strong. I am DEFINETELY running a dodgy chip (0x19 dodgy), something I have checked myself and via Chainfire's easy app (thanks again for, well, everything you do Chainfire :D).

So here's my question. While I seem to be unaffected, a few years in IT has taught me that symptoms often do not appear until it is too late. So with this superbrick bug, what are the chances that its gradually damaging the eMMC chip? Is it likely that my multiple flashes with multiple affected kernels have slowly but surely been damaging more and more blocks of my eMMC chip? Or is the superbrick bug one of those "you'll know it when you see it" things? "It'll happen when it happens and when it does the damage is done in one fell swoop" style? I have been checking my internal storage level, and every flash it remains at a steady 11.08GB :)

DISCLAIMER: Just so we're clear, I am fully aware of the risks of my flashing activities and I am willing to accept the consequences. I have read all the stickies and I still persist in flashing, therefore if anything happens I have no one to blame but myself. Just to save our devs a few lines of chiding me for my stupidity ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhijit038:
Well, I have done the same thing.I can't even remember how many times I have wiped my phone on stock non rooted ICS .May I ask you one thing - have you rooted your phone ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tabsterleir:
Yes, I have rooted my phone with CF-Root at one point. I even did a CWM wipe with it :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhijit038:
I guess our phones , unlike others are quite resilient to bricking. :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tabsterleir:
Well hold on now, I wouldn't go that far. We've been incredibly lucky, that's all. All the evidence is against us.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhijit038:
I rooted it too when I was on GB. But ever since ICS was launched I've been unrooted.Did you wipe on rooted ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Princeomi:
We are just starting to get some grip on this problem, but no one knows for sure as to why it triggers when it triggers and vice versa. Even after satisfying the 3 conditions as per Entropy some people can factory reset multiple times.

I don't think there should be a long term damage as long as you don't factory reset on ICS and delete large files, because the eMMc of the S2 and Note is the same and the S2 is unaffected by it. I have personally wiped numerous times on the S2 and its as stable as ever.

Having said that I would still be cautious for the Note. There may or may not be a gradual damage. Only time will tell.

Hope Samsung releases the fix soon, otherwise if people Superbrick their device after the warranty period, it will cost them or they may have to upgrade to Note 2 or other device as the cost of replacing the MoBo may not be worth it.

BrickBug SII [I9100]

Hey,

I'm using the SII Intl. version.

Have the same brickbug (0x19) and just realized it today.

I've been flashing builds, wiping data, cache, dalvik cache for a really long time.

Currently running CM10 Experimental.

So far so good. But now that I know its there, just scared to wipe again
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aletheus:
regarding gradual damage. i'm beginning to think that its not 'damage' per se. i have a gTab 7.7 with the superbrick problem. i've been trying for WEEKS to fix it. then just on a whim (or our of desparation), i flashed the original stock pit file for our ICS upgrade. i was able to get a clean /data and /system e2fsck check, but my cache file was corrupted. what i SUSPECT is that every time you try to find a smaller /system or /data partition, then reformat from CWM, it should convert /data from ext2 to ext4, but it doesn't. so i'm beginning to think that every time you try to make a new ext2 /data partition and it fails, it then reads as a bad block. so you wind up with less and less contiguous space from which to define a new data partition. if you reflash your original (ICS) pit file, then go straight to adb and e2fsck your /data and /system partitions, you'll get 0.0% non-contiguous. so i'm wondering, is this actually a hardware problem? or a file system problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
I'm not sure if you guys have read Entropy's posts on the General Section thread but clearly, you guys are walking in a very tight rope here. It's just like playing a russian roulette on your phone. It doesn't mean that you have flashed, a 100, 1000 or even 10,000 times you will not get that bug... Oh yeah you will.. I agree on that spiel '"you'll know it when you see it".. When it's going to happen then it's going to happen. You never know that unless you been bitten already.

By the way, you can suggest moving this thread to the General Section. I bet there are guys out there who will give you a tad of info regarding this Superbrick Bug discussion.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Agree with letters to cleo, this is a dangerous game you're playing, so be careful. If you are concerned with gradual damage, have a look at this app which will scan each part of emmc to check for damage...

Well, the Voda update has finally arrived in the UK, and it is .13 rather than .11 so I'm pleased and slightly surprised. Surely we were waiting for.11? :confused:

The kernel does not seem updated since the build .11
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
That's a shame - I was hoping that after all this time, we were now ahead of the game. Surely there needs to be some difference, though? :confused:
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
It's just due to the release being so long after the unbranded release - another carrier recently got 1.29.751.12 but it's no different
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
Ah, okay. Tsk.

So, the only thing I need to do with this update is leave the display on at full brightness for a few hours to recalibrate the display and stop the flicker?

that speeds up the process, it'll still happen at regular brightness

[HTC One X] cjm1979:
Sim unlocked has nothing to do with it. Nearly all Vodafone contract phones are Sim unlocked. Mine is Sim unlocked but network (Vodafone) branded. That's when they customise the rom / firmware to suit themselves and their network.

Normally if it's branded there will be apps on the phone that are from the network involved and also maybe splash screens and other bits and bats. Mine came with various Vodafone apps and a splash screen when it's booting up.

If it was got from Carphone warehouse or phones 4 u or so, then it's likely to be unbranded.
[HTC One X] ghost-5:
Can anyone with a Vodafone sure signal test to see if this fixes the problem with the one x not connecting to it please?

[HTC One X] ghost-5:
Mine will connect to it but as soon as I get a call it drops it's signal. Using stock unbranded hox. There are quite a few people on the Vodafone forums with the same problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Hello skyrockters ,

So my skyrocket , purchased on 4th of May 2012 (2.3.6 UCLA3 from the box,unrooted and all stock) , is heating from time to time while using it ... I had a skyrocket before the current one and it never felt heating like this one :( ...... It's not heating SO MUCH but non the less I can feel it when using the phone 1-2 min + like when calling or browsing the internet ....

Today I opened the back cover and when I took the SIM card the golden area out it is not uniformly gold as it should , instead a small roundish burn mark on the edge of it (darker than the rest of the SIM) ...

Now the problem I am past the first month of owning the phone , and I think if I would go again to the att store they will start BSing me about contacting Samsung for a solution (being more than a month now for a replacement or refund)...

And by the way , calling quality is not so clear I'm noticing compairing this device to the old skyrocket I had !!! maybe the UCLA3 vs UCKJ2 ???

Have anybody had this issue ? and what to do in your opinion ?

Your help is much aprecaited

Thanks

Warranty. Clearly a hardware issue. Nothing any of us can really do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Thanks for the reply

So should I expect the att store to do something about it ? like replacement (more than 1 month on purchase so out of customer satisfaction) ? or should I contact Samsung ???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aceownstheworld:
All of the skyrockets if bought from att, have a year warranty. Meaning if you have a device support center within a few hours of you, I'd skip the store and take it to them to get a new one. If not, go to the store and they'll help you through the process of calling the warranty people. It'll take about 6 business days for the replacement to get to you.

My phone bricked about a month ago and I drove an hour to a support center. I was in and out in 15 minutes since my phone was completely bricked. They just ended up giving me a new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Thanks again , the issue is that I am on straighttalk and the burned SIM is ST SIM ... Would that make a difference ? and the other point is that the issue is intermittent , and the call quality issue is somehow subjective and liable to intentionally "subsidized" by a rep .... you know what I mean when they feel they will loose another device to a customer ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aceownstheworld:
contract or not, as long as you bought the phone from an AT&T store, you should be under warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pwnerman:

The best way to charge you HTC sensation fast is, put your phone to fastboot mode and let it charge... Your battery wil be 100% charged on 44 minutes...

Don't forget to say thanks :D
[HTC Sensation] Leemur89:
Btw, how do you get on fastboot mode?
[HTC Sensation] bajji93:
hey this is bajji93

you can go to fastboot mode by switching off your phone and then press (volume down + power) button to turn on your phone to bootloader. Use the volume up and down to navigate in the menu. In that menu navigate to fastbot and press power button. Now, plug in your usb charger.Note that you wont get the orange led while charging.. but it'll get charged ;)
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Why not just charge your phone with it powered off? Fastboot keeps the screen on, so there will be higher drain.
[HTC Sensation] bajji93:
haha, fine :P i accept that :D

It will charge faster in fastboot then it will booted up as there is no OS hogging the battery, you all know that android os generally is the thing that uses the battery most! As for the fastboot thing, i cant see it doing it faster than being turned off.Doing it while turned off actually charges it more accurately and can take hours! It's the correct way to calibrate it

But just to add my view on the issue, I found that battery charges much faster in recovery, so try doing that instead of fastboot

[HTC Sensation] ungraph:
Mine usually takes ~30 mins to charge from 10% to 100%. I don't see why fastboot would help at all. If it takes longer than an hour, try rebooting. Often the battery percentage 'freezes' showing an incorrect percent.

30 mins ? Wtf thats impossible i had stock battery and it would take like 2 hours now on the ankers 3 which is a pain to charge !

Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Maybe with a 2A charger it might do that, although I don't know what the max current a Sensation will draw is.
[HTC Sensation] l2icky:
Mine isn't that fast, but will go from 5 to 100 in about an hour.
[HTC Sensation] buzz killington:
I use a 2amp charger and the sensation has never drawn more than 900ma. Considering the battery is 1520mah, I don't see how it's possible to charge from empty to 100% in less than 90minutes. The phone will also cut the current draw as the battery nears full in order to prevent overheating/explosion so two hours is about the norm.

There is of course one way to charge to 100% in 30minutes, start at 80%+ :) or the phone is misreporting the percentage.

[HTC Sensation] bajji93:
You might be using a 0.7A charger.. use 1A or 1.5A charger... That could charge your device faster
[HTC Sensation] TriTopaz:
I poorly can confirm that. My Sensa needs about 3 hours to charge from 0-5% to 100%.

Stock Battery, stock charger, stock USB Cable.

It doesn´t change anything, when I change the charger to another one (iPhone, Logitec Harmony, Notebook Power-USB, ect)

Off course I got a different FW & ROM on it, but it has been so from the beginning.

My iPhone, for example needs 1,5h everywhere. Even at my Notebook. That´s incredible :(
