Great video poor S3 ... but wow it did great!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mb27:
Nice! No wonder case manufacturers are willing to show videos of them dropping the S3 in their cases! Nothing is going to happen! haha :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mastarifla:
The only issue I had with the video is she didn't do a face down/screen down drop test, but still very impressive.

Cool video. Thanks for sharing. It seems to me that dropping phones on concrete is what breaks them.

This Thread is meant to Discuss IF our Galaxy Tab 7.7 suffers from the SuperBrick Bug when wiping data or Factory reset on ICS using either Stock or CWM Recovery and Finding any possible solutions.

I didn't dare try to wipe my P6800 under ICS as it tested positive for the BrickBug, Though I'd like to know if anyone who tested positive for BrickBug tried to wipe or factory reset on ICS and came out good with no issues. Kindly share your experience here & mention which recovery (Stock or CWM) did you use?!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zorbakun:
link A good read regarding this BrickBug EMMC problem, very educational.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] questionmark:
After flashing ICS using Mobile Odin without wipe all went fine root was maintened. Decided to wipe and start clean doing an ICS reset. Sometimes ago I tested positive my tab 7.7 to be subject to the brick bug... But did anyway as I read some doing it without problem. So I crossed my finger as I read people did many time wipe until it went wrong... Kinda Russian Roulette...

All went fine for me

As far as I know there are 2 instances now of bricked device, one user wiping from stock recovery if I read correctly and a recent one flashing new ICS custom rom...

As I'm quite fine with stock ICS I will wait to see how this develop and now those 2 bricked cases really cool me down trying stuff... To bad for the fun but again really happy with stock ics....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kishd:
Had ICS running for a while and suddenly developed a boot loop. Bit the bullet and did a full wipe with CWM on ICS. still had a boot loop. Flashed ICS again with ODIN. Still had a boot loop. Now did a full wipe with factory reset under normal recovery praying all the while. Tab booted and has never run better phew!

Maybe I was just lucky or the brick bug has been sorted in 4.04. My Tab does have the insane chip.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
I too tested possitive for the Brickbug but no issues after updating to ICS via mobileodin and complete wipe afterwards.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zorbakun:
@adinis78 which Recovery did you use to do complete wipe?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
From stock: Settings>Back up and reset>Factory data reset
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sunish:
I'm unable to do a factory reset. It goes back into reboot loop and while starting it shows the message "Android is upgrading"

After upgrade from mobile odin last night, it had been working fine till morning.. The roboot loop started after I launched EZPDFreader.

will try to flash from desktop odin now.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Ekoplex:
Also showed positive for the brickbug and had no problems factory reseting within ICS. Maybe i was lucky though?

Sent from GT-P6800 using xda premium
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] cymagnus:
Same here. Tested positive for brickbug. Did a hard reset and works OK.

Was on Austria ICS flashed via PC odin, no CWM, no root.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] himadri:
Very good thread we needed one like this. One request of minetothe people who have already wiped/factory reseted their toy :will you please provide these following points ( gee I sound like a pro )

1) which rom you were using when you didthewipe/f reset?

2) how did you do the wipe ? E.g from mobile odin/ pc odin/ cwm/ stock etc

3) if you are in a boot loop now ( hope you are not )

The above points will help the lay men like us to gather more case by case info and may help some pro to find the bug zapper.

MMMmmmmmmm...

MMMmmmm... Hi guys, I'm new here in the 7.7 forum.

I'm going to get the tablet on next week and I was wondering if anyone could answere a couple of question that are worring me a lot, and Hard Brick is in the list:

- I assume I'll receive the 7.7 with HC, then I'll have to root it for personal purpose with one of the guide of the forum

- then I'll check I have or not "The hard Brick Bugs" (finger cross!!)

- then I'll flash a modded recovery: the CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 "Iocerra"

- then I'll download the ICS austrian stock room and I'll flash it through Odin/MobileOdin, manteining in this way the root access

- then I'll go straight for a Full Wipe (Cache, Dalvik and Data Wipe) because I've allways done in this way with all my android stuff (Nexus S, Gnexus and so one...)

- Finally I'll flash a decent modded room from the forum

And here we go! The question are:

1) Do I really need to istall a modded recovery such as the one listed above? (I need a recovery that allow me to flash Update from the MicroSD and perform Wipe)

2) If I'll have "The hard Brick Bugs", when that little "Bast**d" would perform his work?

3) Is it safe to do the Full Wipe on the 7.7 every time I update/change a modded room or I'll eventually came in touch with the Brick Bug?

I now its a lot of stuff to think about, but I hope someone with more experience will help me.

Thanks in advance guys!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] werich:
So even though GotBrickBug declared my eMMC as risky, I had no problems updating and wiping my p6800.

Updated my rooted HC tab with the official ICS rom provided by Sammobile.com,

After an official OTA aborted (with hint to use KIES software instead) I used mobile odin for flashing, including wipe cache and dalvik active. But I had issues with battery drain by not reaching deep sleep state under ICS and therefore decided to do a full data wipe out of ICS options menu. No problems at all - so far.

1) have had XLA3_ATO rooted but without cwm

2) flashed XLQ1_ATO (ICS) successfully with mobile odin including injected root kernel, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe

3) after some days of use, wiped all data using ICS Settings>Back up and reset>Factory data reset

4) everything's fine! :-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wakka92:
@werich

so Mobile Odin it's a kind of CWM were you can flash ROM, Kernel and so on?

Ok.... but if I'm correct, you haven't done a Data Wipe using Mobile Odin... you've done it by the Android Settings menu, isn't it?

Tanks you very much!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] werich:
@wakka92

As far as I understand CWM is a replacement for the stock recovery system - both are mini systems for updating an maintaining the device. Mobile odin as App is running under the main system and is only triggering the recovery system to update the device out of itself, analogue to the over the air updates provided by Samsung. Using mobile odin pro, you can wipe the cache and the dalvik cache of all applications (which gets done after updating the rom), but not the whole data partition as is done by a factory data reset.

If I understood correctly, the mobile odin wipe already could trigger the emmc bug for the n7000 - as well as the factory data reset or even deleting huge files under ICS. But this only happend to the leaked ICS roms - for our p6800 there was no leaked firmware, only the official rom which seems to be more or less safe.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aries8:
i flashed my Hongkong version tab 7.7 by using mobileODINPro with only rooting option selected(all option by default ) , it was successful but ..messaging apps issue ..can not open.. so i did wipe/factory reset through stock recovery .... no issue at all.. (while my tab got positive test of superbrick )

Now it is butter smooth... enjoying ICS :) ..but none of USSD code is recognized by tab's phone dialer .:(

Note: it is my experience , please do not get influenced by me to do so..do on your own risk.. thx.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ionutcostea:
Hy,

seems i've managed to brick my Tab.

1.Stock HC - rooted

2. Upgraded to ICS - Austrian version- worked fine, except WiFi - could not connect to any wifi network. The device would see the network but whenever i wanted to connect it to any network it would start rescanning for WiFi networks. - tryed to solve this with mobile Odin pro - instaling modem.bin from HC (still didn't work). Rooted ICS - worked just fine (using CWM).

2. Tryed to upgrade stock ICS with quicksilver 0.8. Tab booted but stops at animation. Did Data Wipe/Factory reset from CWM - still dosen't boot and unfortunatlly now it only shows the the white Samsung Galaby Tab 7.7 logo.

Any ideeas on what can i do now?

I have also tryed flashing back stock ICS and stock HC - same problem.

Thx.

Update :

Done full data wipe, davlik cache, and everything. Now the boot sequence goes past the Samsung Galaxy Tab Logo and start the Samsung boot animation but then in freezez again.

Flashed stock ICS again using PC Odin, and it still remains blocked after the Samsung animation.

Please help.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] porgybess:
I'm curious to see if pc Odin the .pit file and repartitions will fix the problem
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aura71:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deveal2014:
About two days ago I noticed a dead pixel on my EVO. I was still under my 30 days with bestbuy so I took it up there after work and the guy agreed and got me another one. After I left the store I went to a friends house who's birthday it was & charged my phone up etc etc. After it charged I started to play with it and noticed that the multi -tasking was working flawlessly ..no reloads just like my rooted HTC EVO 3d when i had sense 4.0 on it. Also that HTC work around Apple patent thing was not on this unit. I went on the internet and clicked the address box and everything was highlighted like normal instead of it just clicking in the box and to the first letter. It also appeared to run better ,faster ,epic battery life etc etc. But it was one f****** problem. The damn sensor did not work & at one point the sensor light was visible. it was like a lil red dim light. So I had to go back to bestbuy & get another one & its business as usual. The HTC workaround is on this phone ,the multitasking sucks again and it just doesn't feel the same operation wise as the one yesterday...but the sensor works. I think I should have kept the one from yesterday and just dealt with the sensor error. But has anyone else had a phone without the work around or heard about other people in the same situation??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deveal2014:
another weird thing

Another weird thing ....The phone I had with the bad sensor had all my wifi codes automatically...like when i went over my firends I didn't have to put the wifi code back in , it just connected and when I finally went home it just connected. this new phone I have now requires my to reput the codes in.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
Wifi Passwords are stored in the could AFAIK.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deveal2014:
Oh ok
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
Well that would explain why I haven't had to input any WiFi passwords since I got this new phone. That's kind of creepy though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9kracing:
Anyone else seen this? I woke up this morning to 3 failed updates, and they all said the same thing. Weird thing is, I've installed other apps since then, and I've saved pics to the SD card. I tried to uninstall, and reinstall, but it just won't install these apps. I've tried turning off the phone and turning it back on too. My final step is do a complete wipe and reflash my ROM, but I'd like to avoid that at all costs.

Any advice or maybe a cause for this failure?

EDIT: problem was Faux kernel. A new beta has been pushed out which fixes the problem. Download Beta 9 if you're having this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] engagedtosmile:
Started getting this as well. I have cleared out everything from the Play store and rebooted my phone. This happened after my phone died from low battery. Pretty weird, I'll keep messing with it to see what I can find to fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9kracing:
Ya know, I actually killed my phone with the Mobile Hotspot 2 nights ago. It went from 50%, to off in about half an hour. I wonder if it's related...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] engagedtosmile:
Not sure, I am going to flash my ROM over my current and see if that helps...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] engagedtosmile:
Updated my ROM, same issue. I'm stumped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lumpy211:
Oddly enough, I had the exact same issue with Rom Toolbox Pro as well today. I tried it on Vicious Jellybean V3, wiped cache/data, and upgraded to V5 to no avail. Only when I installed AOKP Milestone 6 did the issue go away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9kracing:
Interesting. I can't remember what the other 2 apps were. If I remember I'll post it up and see if you guys can install them.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BizzDaButcher:
Paid Apps

Seems like I'm having this problem with all the apps that I buy or were previously purchased. All free apps install fine, but paid dont.

I also tried factory wipe, format cache, format data, format system, wipe dalvik, flashed Vicious V5 JB with Faux Tuna kernel, even tried going from play store version 3.7.13 back to 3.7.11 and still no results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9kracing:
Wow. Ya my third app was Franco Updater. I'll try updating another paid app and see if that's the issue.

I'm on vicious v3 BTW.

Edit: just tried to uninstall a paid app and reinstall it... sure enough it couldn't write to SD card. Strangely enough at the same time I got a dropbox update, and that went through fine. So it seems that paid apps are borked on JB... at least on vicious.

Posted by my Jelly Beaned Nexus and Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BizzDaButcher:
I just don't understand why this is all of a sudden happening. When i first flashed to Vicious V3 i was able to install all my apps, even paid with no problem - I wanted to start fully fresh on JB.

I noticed this problem yesterday when ROM Toolbox Pro had an update so i played around a little bit. Decided to flash V5 and still no fix.

I really don't want to go back to ICS right now, but if I have to AOKP M6 is what it's gonna be, and maybe wait for an AOKP JB release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] engagedtosmile:
This issue came out of nowhere for me. I was happy on v3 since it was released up until yesterday and that is when it started happening. Nothing changed at all. So weird. I am trying the AOSP 4.1.1 that Vicious put out today to give it a try. It could be because it's a hacked copy of the GSM model? I'll post here if it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9kracing:
This was my next step. Since I heard going back to AOKP fixed it, I'm pretty sure its ROM related

Posted by my Jelly Beaned Nexus and Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] engagedtosmile:
Installed the AOSP version of Vicious and it's working now. Give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
I installed Vicious AOSP (v1 4.1.1) from a clean wipe, and I'm still having the same issue, it seems to be an issue with the Google Checkout process. It is only on paid apps, all the free ones work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forty9er49221:
I switched from Faux kernel to Trinity kernel and it fixed my issue with Vicious AOSP 4.1.1.

Try switching kernel's and see if it fixes your issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9kracing:
I dirty flashed AOSP v1 on mine. Same issue. Cleared data in the play store. I'm on Faux's B8. Maybe I'll try another kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9kracing:
Ok, tried Trinity kernel and it works now. It's definitely Faux's kernel that's not playing nice with paid apps.

Only problem now is my screen is super dark and the colors are way off. Everything has a blue tint to it now. Maybe I'll try Franco's kernel or go back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
I can also confirm that a switch from Faux's to Trinity has fixed the problem. I was able to install Beautiful Widgets, and Trinity Toolbox. It appears as if the issue is, in fact, with Faux's kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BizzDaButcher:
Good at least we got somewhere. Hopefully someone will relay the message over to Team Liquid to put in their ROM notes not to run FAUX
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
Here is the link to an updated Faux Kernel that fixes the problem:

Faux 019 Beta9

EDIT: Flashed Beta 9 and all is well again, installed TapaTalk with NO issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9kracing:
Yep, this version works great! Thanks for the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soundman181:
I had the same problem with apps. New Faux kernel works great.
[Android Apps and Games] hanselapp:
I’m considering launching some hosted services that could help game studios retain 20% more of their gamers. Would game studios pay for this and if so, how much? I’m estimating a price of $0.05 for every gamer that gets exposed to the retention service. Would that be compelling?

Or am I asking the wrong question? Are game studios more apt to just buy more installs and live with the same retention rate? If so, why?

Here is my logic behind the pricing:

I assume that if game studios are paying $1CPI and retaining 15% of users 30 days after, then currently, a retained user costs $6.67 ($1/15%).

If my hosted service could drive a 20% relative lift from 15% to 18% then cost of retained gamer drops for $6.67 to $5.56 ($1/18%)…a savings of $1.12 per retained gamer….or $0.168 for every gamer that gets exposed to the retention service. If I only kept 30% of the value then the price would be $0.05/gamer that gets exposed to the retention service.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I am running ICS on my SGS2 w/ the stock rom. I tried *#197382640# then going in menu [5] Audio does not work, i.e. when I go to the menu, it takes me back to the main menu automatically, as if it was disabled.

Does anyone have a good solution for having higher volume?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
First and foremost:

What was the last thing you did to your phone (even a week ago, or app install) BEFORE it started acting up?

What were the steps you took to do the change?

Have you done ANYTHING other than what you've started so far in getting the issue resolved?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ldiamond2:
The phone has always been that way.

I tried what I wrote in my post, but the audio menu is not accessible.
