[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] play2lose:
Not really sure, I'm constantly holding "home" and closing any open apps, and don't have any 3rd party apps even installed yet except for facebook, instagram, and a few games.

My shortest time has been 2 hours 40 minutes and longest has been 3.5 hours on screen time.

I think it's my location, I get really low bars/service in my area, and on ALL of my android phones I've been about an hour or 2 behind on "on screen" battery life than what others get (happened on my HTC One X, GS3, Note 2, and now GS4) :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] winosxbuntu:
hey anyone out there who can help me, i recently hard bricked my phone long story short didnt follow the instructions as stated and well what do yu know my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket wont boot up, tried every little thing that could bring back my phone but its Hard bricked, its not like soft brick where you can fix it using stock rom and odin or just a restore from CWM/TWRP Recovery Nandroid Backups

anywz the point is how do does the whole thing work "mobiletechvideos" jtag repair

any kind of thing culd be helpful i just need my awsome phone back :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Search thread reported this has been discussed and its in the wrong section
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
If its hard bricked, you basically answered your own question. Mobiletechvideos is your best bet. Well known for their work. Look em up and it'll cost you 50$.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
You send phone, they fix it, you profit. Easy as that

Sent from my Slimmed out Skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] winosxbuntu:
will do that

will surely do that, money is not a problem just have to send it this weekend and off to mobiletechvideos, hope they get it fixed as you guyz said
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomy1986.nt:
I just do Jtag service for $25. Please check my feedback.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
No thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phoneturf:
I am sure you will be pleased with them. For $50, they bring your phone back from the dead.

I have hard bricked a phone before (my wife's Note) and got it back from them in less than a week. One of the new criteria I have for when I buy a new phone is that mobiletechvideo has a jtag service for it already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] winosxbuntu:
should i root, again since i fcked my first phone

my Galaxy S2 is still bricked but i got the AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 I747 on 4.1.1 instead cost $$300 on ebay :laugh:

the results came better than i expected by gettin myself a new smartphone but comin back here on XDA reminds me of how i completely turned my sphone into a paper-weight by just installing a new ROM/ROOTIN

should i go back to the

ROOTIN wagon

? iknow the risks and goods that comes with it but android stock w/touchwiz is not that bad :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
It's really easy, if you find that you

need

features you can only use when rooted/on a custom rom then go ahead.

If you don't find yourself thinking "that custom feature would be of some real use now" then there's no reason to "go back to the

ROOTIN wagon

"..

Finally, some friendly advice :angel:, if you intend to start modding your phone please read the goddamn instructions this time around. :highfive:

I've had 3 samungs and 1 sony, and never once did I not read the bloody instrufuctions, and you know what?

Never did I soft or hard brick any of them, thanks to God's gift of literacy. :victory:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] winosxbuntu:
thanks, i needed that plus am gonna root my phone this week
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] winosxbuntu:
I sent my phone to them and fixed it like it was nothing but I was quite surprised to find out that it was a bad EMMC CHIP failure which blacked out my phone with no sign of life.............

Thanks xda

Mod should close this thread. They specifically said don't share it. Don't cause problems please. I appreciate the effort but you clearly didn't read their op.

Wth you have to pay to join there forum... !? I use to have a account when I had my thundrrbolt it was free then. Ill stick to xda an optional donations.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
My intent really wasnt to cause problems. It says don't post it, which I didn't, I just told people about it.

Mods feel free to close the thread if its that big of a problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
Go back and read VERY carefully. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
Lol no
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Who cares what team bamf thinks. They have Devs who steal phones from people and then don't release work for months and months on end. I say share everything they want kept secret!

Also I want to point out I've had access to this since march 23 where another user on here compiled it. So this is really nothing new.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
Thats an ignorant statement.

Unless you have proof that they STOLE someone's phone, you should probably STFU. Thats not how they operate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nefariouss:
No where in his initial post does he say don't talk about it. Plus no offense but he can't stop someone from making a post on another forum about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Slack3r:
This "treat" keeps wiping my MicroSD card on boot.

/sigh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbrown30:
It could mean don't post the ROM itself anywhere or don't mention it outside of the BAMF forums. Either way he has one of the two pretty strictly posted in the op. Not bashing on anyone for defending it being brought to light but don't be ignorant to the fact that he might not have wanted his own personal ROM spread out yet

Sent from my little R2D2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thesilverhawk:
He didn't actually repost. He just said there's a treat there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
My memory is a little fuzzy seeing as how this happened a while back, but there was and still is proof if the mods have not deleted everything. Just because you have had positive experiences with some of their devs does not mean they are all good or even that most of them are good upstanding devs. There is no reason for that type of attitude either, if you cannot act like an adult and discuss things without attacking others then you should just leave the thread.

Unless you know exactly what you are talking about and were there when it happened, the phone being pretty much stolen, you may want to take your own advice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Joelz has taken phones from people donating only to not release ROMs, drop the phone support and then go to sell them for profit. He is a part of team bamf still yes?

How about you STFU since they have had the proof of him doing so and turned a blind eye. I haven't supported team BAMF since the thunderbolt and won't long as they keep Joelz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Also here is proof I had this long before Eris posted it. So I vote it gets shared.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Lol not trying to say I am cool. Pointing out team bamf is a joke if it takes well over a month to get out what could have been available.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zeroxg4:
Not having this issue at all. Maybe check MD5 (if you didn't)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Hey man I'm still waiting on his viper rom update, he said he just has to fix one more thing....a year ago :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Dude, you need to calm down. Nosympathy always tells it how it is with no BS. I've learned that you can always trust what he says. If he does make a mistake, which isn't often, he will own up to it. Don't try to talk down upon him to try to make yourself look cooler.

P.S. - it seems like every few months joelz shady ways are always mentioned
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] azturbomini:
I personally didn't have any issues or see anyone that had issues with joelz during the time I had my TB or Rezound.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CyD13:
I remember Eris from the Thunderbolt days. He sure has turned into a ______bag.

Oh well, glad to see more development for the Note 2 anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
Yeah, you had a little respect until now.

Gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Slack3r:
After having an issue where my network connection was flipping a single bit I always check MD5's... ;)

I think it might have something to do with me formatting my card as exFAT after the first problem causing subsequent problems, although it took me long enough to restore my phone (lost all backups with the sd card) that I'm going to wait until the weekend to try again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
I stand corrected. Sorry.

I apologize then. I will say a few things and then I will STFU. I was defending adrynaline, eris and butch really. I cant actually speak for joelz. So I was wrong in defenfing bamf as a whole. I obviously dont have all the facts. Again, I apologize to you.

OK. Noted...

I still stand by eris, adrynaline and butch, as that was my original intent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Apology accepted! I agree, for the most part, those are good guys. Except eris. I think he is an arrogant douchbag. I could put up with that as he is a good dev if it wasn't for Joelz. The fact they still have such a worthless dev keeps me from supporting them. Really ruins BAMFs name.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Delete. Double post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Yeah that **** was ridiculous
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Yep. I moved to the mikmik for a while because of that. Newts ROM ran 10 fold better than joelz kanged mess. Also the fact that the mods stood behind joelz and it caused Newt to leave, SMH.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Yeah newts rom is why I miss the rezound. It was such a beast rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idkwhothatis123:
Newt is a known kanger as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisjz:
Reason why I got the Rezound in the first place was because Newt got it. I used his roms on the incredible too. If he had a note2 then id sure be using his roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] harajyuks:
Viper was a beast though.. But it was all newt in the end?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Newts the reason we had working RIL on sense 4. Then joelz magically got it working just a few days after without asking newt. Newt even said it'd be a week before he'd let anyone use it. Joelz had it working a few days later. Wasn't then only fix on sense 4 newt had first and then joelz magically had just days after.

I had to prove it once and a while that flaming the hell out of somebody sometime its what's needed... I got banned for 2weeks but it was worth it

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------

It was sort of the other way around where a dev tried to get snappy because he thought I knew nothing of developing and tried to just pass me off and try to clown until he ended up getting laughed at in his own thread
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
I got a 6 point slap on the wrist because of the rezound mess. I was told by a mod to take the argument to PM with another member. So I did so and then another mod gave me a 6 point hit for argueing over PM. Some days I hate hate hate XDA mods as some of them are douschbags. Not all but some of them and they just do what they want.

I remember at the time always joking when I disagreed with someone that I was probably going to get banned because that was how XDA seemed to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Whatever happened to Adrynaline? Where is he at now a days?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thatruth132:
Yeah I was told the same thing... So I went to my ace in the hole "a founder" and got my permanent ban lifted to a 2 week band... Some of the mods run in packs and will back each other moves but it is what it is I look at like a baby mama you love her then you hate her
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
He's in our vzwGN2 forums once in awhile. I think he said something about not making anything for it though, and he hasn't even rooted it or anything, digging it stock.

I believe it was him that said he never runs anything but his own roms/mods, I say prove it! make one, run it, and release it :P

Niceeee. His ROMs compared to Gnote2 stock.....well there is no comparison!? Wonder why hes not deving as much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
He probably got sick of all the drama that goes with releasing a rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
With the exceptions of joelz, I think the other guys on bamf are just not good with people. Just look at the way they always act. A lot of the way they deal with things screams that they don't understand how to socially interact. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
The smart ones never are. To be something of a genius you must be a little crazy or socially awkward
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eraursls1984:
If you're talking about Adrynalyne I'm pretty sure he is rooted and running his own AOSP rom from what he said a few months ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chance77:
Seen you post, and was like, cool gn2 rom unfound on xda... then i tried it, fifteen minutes later i went back to one of the many better nandroids i have stored.

Just mho. Personally id love to see Josh Beach and Beanstown106 collaberate on an awesome all hack full aosp themed tw rom. I have dropped suggestions to both, the more request for this, the bigger possibility it may happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
Lmao full disclosure: I never even flashed the rom. I was going to but then I realized that this phone is no GNex
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chance77:
They have an i605 version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
I know. I meant that I really had no intention of staying on AOSP or a variant thereof because TW has many more features with this specific phone in mind.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chance77:
Miui cm base is damn close, so is liquid, they both have great features, and battery, both with almost weekly maitnance updates. I like that aosp only have about 100 apps refreshing after wipe, compared to tw roms packing in over 215.

Edit sorry i meant Avatar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
Thanks for the heads up. I'm attached to snote though. Have you tried to backup snote and restore it on a cm based rom? Is that even possible?

Note: I've tried the substitutes like papyrus, but the didn't seem to have the same functionality.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chance77:
It wont work, as soon as devs start building on s4's 4.2.2 it may be possible, but dont quote me on that. I use my s-pen, but not snote, i habe heard spen gesturing still works on cm based roms, i love how minimul the aosp roms are, but i go between, Avatar(with modded acid installed), Beans 1 thru 14, and occasionally Jedi, or Liquid smooth, flash addict looking for next best thing, i dont use multi window, or s-note, so its kinda open field for me, i look for themability, and functionality, also ability to mod the sound output is large for me, as i have a system in my Mazda, running off stock stereo, and having the best audio proccessing from my phone/music player is at top of my list.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I highly doubt that S-Note will work on AOSP ever. The only way it can work is if one of our wonderful devs takes AOSP and TW and mixes in the TW framework, that S-Note needs to work, into AOSP. There has only been one successful case of a dev mixing TW and AOSP to get the features of the TW apps on AOSP, all he did was add the little bit of TW framework that was needed for the apps to work into AOSP, but this was an incredibly hard task and took over a year to complete. I cant remember which Sammy phone they did this with, I want to say the S2 but I can't remember for sure so don't quote me on which phone they did it on.

As for S-Pen gestures and all that good business on AOSP, you have to buy GMD S-Pen Control from the Play Store. The app was a little over $5 when I bought it, and I think it still is, but it was worth every penny. It adds so many features that should have been there on the stock rom our phones came with. You can use the app for creating gestures that launch whatever app you want among many many many other things. If you wanna see what its like before you buy it here is a video of a guy showing you how it works:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3WGO-OZQ2k&feature=youtube_gdata_player

He isn't extremely talkative during what parts of the video I have watched, it seems like he struggles a but with English, but the app is pretty much self explanatory.

As for excellent roms you should really gove Vanilla Rootbox and ParanoidAndroid a shot and see what you think of them. I love being able to set the hybrid controls for each app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
This thread is a good read :) ROM probably runs well but seems too barebones on features for me. Guess im spoiled by Carbon/RB/etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Im right there with ya slick. I prefer RB and PA, I just noticed this and didnt comment until it got to the point where it was getting a little heated, I was hoping id be able to calm it down a bit.

I had heard so many people talking about how good BAMF roms on the S3 and even the Note 2 forums and how they hoped they would make one. I was expecting something similar to RootBox, Paranoid, or Pac-Man. Needless to say it was a joke, the way people had talked about it made me think it would just be outstanding........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Yeah Team BAMF causes some heat on this forum. Specially those of us who have put up with some of its members for a while. Reason you dont see them on here much. Also yeah everyone acts like BAMF puts out these amazing things but it is just boring. I mean, one member released stock AOSP and everyone acted like a god. Who'd want that after Carbon or Paranoid. Waste.

To be fair the thunderbolt ROMs were amazing. Haven't run anything from BAMF since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I know what you mean with the putting uo with them part, Joelz is a complete bastard. I dealt with him over on the S3 forums and couldn't stand him one little bit.

I really figured the reason they weren't on here mucb was because everyone started calling them.on their bull****, like stealing phones, instead of just letting it ride.

And the AOSP rom that Joelz released was a hunk of crap, there were a few of us on the S3 working on a AOSP rom, we were all noobs to devving and it was taking us a while, and when he beat us with it we all just decided to stop and move on.

And yeah its a complete waste. I really wish I hadn't spent the time downloading the rom. I had just heard such good things about their roms, despite some of the devs being scum, and was really surprised at it when it booted up. I would rather stick to RB or PA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
Honestly I have really messed with them since the GNex. That was like 4 phones ago for me. It was legit on there, but in reflection, it was basically AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Haha right where they could do nothing really and BAM AOSP ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Well why wouldnt they? Thats the easiest thing for them to do and they reach a huge user base by doing so, even though they didnt doing anything except put their names on an AOSP rom on the Gnex really......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
I bet Joelz gets shoved into lockers daily...

#highschoolproblems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Yeah by you.. You bully Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Could be worse. I'd do more than shove the kid in a locker if I ever met him in real life. 12 years of martial arts fighting. The hurt I'd put on that kid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
I don't know this cat... I wasn't around when all this went down but he must of did some shady mess
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
It was extremely bad. He gave a lot of users a bad first experience with developers and now they don't trust devs at all because of his actions. He is the lowest of the low, in my opinion, and doesnt deserve to be called a developer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
Wow. I keep feeling smaller and smaller.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
Does anyone care to explain what exactly happened when all this went down? I left xda for a while after becoming satisfied with a rom on my thunderbolt and just recently returned. But I do remember loving the Bamf roms on my TB and believe the froyo 1.8 version was the best rom I've ever run. Used to occasionally get upwards of 35 hours of battery life with light to moderate use. Unreal. But it sounds like something terrible took place in my absence
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
No point in dredging up the past. BAMF had their day in the limelight, devs come and go.

Annnd...in before thread lock
