Oh man, I got my phone stuck at the samsung screen today trying to set up some themes and what not and totally thought I was screwed.

I deleted saurom from my internal sd before it bricked so I couldn't even use cwm to reflash.

After searching pretty much all afternoon I found that the only thing I could do was boot into download mode and flash the stock ATT package with odin then proceed to reflash cwn saurom 7/7.1.

Get to re-loading my apps and BAM errors. Realized since I was using stock ATT this time round had to install the ATT fix ugh. So reflash again this time with fix and I'm relieved I got my phone again.

Take this as a lesson from me and always backup your phone!!!

you will receive the update on your phone but won't be able to install OTA. You can still upgrade through kies but will lose root.

That sucks hard. The whole time I was hoping that it wouldn't happen to me since there was no access to it.

yeah, i never had this problem before, its odd.

re ATT rom: yeah i had to do a restore to OEM and the re root. i was pretty worried.

nothing but FC and freezes.

the worst thing was it had all my Ti backups and CWM backups. thank god i still had a 4GB card with an older Ti backup left.

no more "leaks" for me. wait for a proper Dev release.

oh in case no one has mentioned it yet:
T-Mobile could be launching Note with ICS soon

I bought an apple brick for usb charging at ncix rated at 5v1a same as the stock charger, yet the stock charger beside the hertz rating also has a 0.15a rating. Any idea whats up with that? My phone goes into mega slug mode when I try to charge with the apple usb brick.

samsung chargers have the data pins (middle 2) shorted out. this tells the SAMSUNG PHONES that its plugged into the wall and then you can get the full 1A goodness flowing into your phone. the Apple cube doesnt do this.

HP touchpad chargers are like this as well.

check the charging status in settings, does it say AC or USB?

USB = shit
AC = teh win

i unplugged my HP charger and put it into my PC, it went from AC to USB.

Iphone brick says it's charging AC.

Otterboxes in stock may 11 woot

no because power is pulled by the phone and its limited to a specified max Amperage. have 2A is just good overhead so you can be sure the phones is taking all it can,

its like having more cock than your woman can take. pushing harder wont make it go in any farther, but having a short dick will leave her unsatisfied.

#$@$ NCix has no wall plug chargers that are higher than 1A. Any other local suggestions? I guess i'll just use the iphone brick for now since it reads ac charging means it's getting 1A. Just wont mess with the phone while charging to avoid the laggyness.
