Yep its true, tabby the tablet finally kicked the bucket couple days ago. Might be a battery issue, I heven't been charging and keeping it above 10% but oh well. Power button still works just now screen. Any ideas? I did take it a art and remove the battery and replace it to no avail. I'll still try to be around but ye know, now I can't test anything.

OK.....How long "normally" will an A100 last before Hiroshima happens? Mine is a referb from Wally world I've had it for about a month now.I could've choosen another tab,but I love the design of mine. And also do ALL of them brick?

Yes, they will all eventually die, it's got a crappy emmc in it. How long is strictly usage dependant. Wipes for roms seems to accelerate it.

Let me tell you from experience that this A100 is **** unless you put CM10 on it.
Acer did a great job of ruining this tablet with their ICS OTA update.
If you have a blast with FCs and a boatload of app compatibility issues, namely HD/THD games that even my god damn LG G2x that's stuck on Gingerbread/CM7 will play, by all means stay stock.
Now if you want to see what the A100 is REALLY capable of, do some reading, pick ypur ROM, and flash your chosen CM10 setup once. It's not going to accelerate EMMC failure that much quicker and the performance and just in general useablilty gains are a great payoff.
Justjackyl's two cents here.

Oh and to everyone, I think I theorized a way to keep it from bricking, I flashed a lot ALOT and it didn't brick, it died when I finally stopped using it! And the reason why, I think, is the work godmachine put in. The emmc cap erase work (or more not of) I think is why. When I switched recoveries and stopped running that glorious kernel, I think that's when it happened. SO IN CONCLUSION use his kernel and recovery religiously and I think you'll be OK. I might, probably, could be wrong but that's my theory. I did finally get the warranty taken care of and we sent it out Tuesday. So I might be back

So I dropped my S3 in water a few nights ago (doh!). I left it in rice for a day as advised, and it had since been operating as usual. Would this water episode disrupt or negatively affect flashing roms in the future?

Not to be a ****, but we're supposed to use our magical powers to detect if the subtle circuitry inside of your phone is short circuited... how?
Yes, it's possible that when your phone took a dive something shorted which could cause an issue with flashing ROMs. It's also possible that nothing at all is wrong with your phone since it appears to work fine.
Or, I'm just a random person on the internet like everyone else who would potentially respond with no more or no less accurate of an answer for you because none of us are omnipotent.

Hi guys,
I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy SII on eBay. I decided to take the plunge even though the seller said it was for "parts and not working". He said the problem he was having was that the phone would shut off by itself, no matter what he did. He said this happened maybe once every 10 times he pressed the sleep button.
I got it yesterday and started messing around with it. I haven't encountered the problem yet but I only used it for a few hours. I proceeded to successfully root the device and flashed a custom ROM (CyanogenMod 10 - JB 4.1.1) and it seems to work ok. I'm not using the phone yet and I guess I was just wondering if you think the problem may have just "gone away". If it did, I would feel very lucky. I won't know for sure until I start using the phone regularly, but I needed a reliable phone today at work and that's why I didn't bring it with.
Any thoughts on what could cause this issue and possible solutions are appreciated. I've read some people say it's related to the CPU or the button itself, or perhaps even the battery. The owner had never rooted the phone so he was just running the regular T-Mobile Gingerbread rom.
Thanks and Happy Friday!
Probably the power button problem

Thanks for answering, Teo. If it's that, it should be fairly simple to fix. I'll report back just in case somebody is having the same issue.
Since the JB ROM's suffer from random restarts and sleep of death issues, I would recommend flashing an ICS ROM. This will get you a more stable environment for testing, so if the device suddenly shuts it self off, you'll know it's not the ROM.

+1 to this suggestion. Flash a ROM that is known to be stable so you can confirm the original issue. I'd suggest stock (gb or ics, doesn't matter) for the best test environment.

I bought it used on eBay, I'm not the original owner. And I didn't see the SquareTrade warranty option for this purchase, perhaps because it was under "For parts & not working". I haven't come across the problem yet. I have flashed a few different roms (ICS) but every one of them has given me some type of problem. I'm still using my very reliable myTouch 4G and I'm starting to doubt if I really want to dump it for the SII.

Need someone who got an OG < 14 days ago and wouldn't mind a potential brick for CM
If you got an OG less than 14 days ago (which means you could exchange it for free if you brick) and wouldn't mind bricking, I have something kind of risky for you to try. This could potentially make us able to run nexus 4 kernels, which would make the road to CM exponentially shorter. If you are interested, please PM me or post here and I will send you the necessary files. If possible, I would like someone who knows how to use fastboot. This is completely voluntary, so do not get mad at me if your phone bricks. Sorry to ask this of you, but my 14 days ended. My idea is to flash the RPM partition from the Canadian E973, which has CM and can run n4 kernels. The nexus 4 RPM led to a brick unless someone flashed their partition map (in which case, it worked and accomplished the intended goal), since the OG's and N4's partition maps are very different, but the Canadian OG's is mostly the same, which leads me to believe it could work.
I got an OG off of craigslist last week, just to mess around with it, and maybe replace my GS3 with it, when AOSP ROMs started showing up.
I don't WANT to brick it... but it wouldn't be the biggest deal in the world if I did.
Plus, I've been leaching off XDA since my HTC Vogue. I think I owe the community.
I can offer my OG up to science. Let me know what you need from me. I've got a free day, for the most part, and I can follow directions.

Maybe Samsung is putting new boards in later phones of the same model? My guess by this information is that they possibly knew about the issue pretty early in production because they wouldn't have just replaced chips midstream. I'm still gonna be a tad leary of doing too many wipes because Yes i did try more than 5 different roms so I'm pretty sure it was all the wipes. Funny that it bricked in the middle of just taking pictures.

Looks like there may be a modification from Samsung. Mine looks to be a refurb more than likely with a new motherboard. I'd bet Samsung has fixed the issue on new and motherboard refurbs. Just got it a little over a week ago after a week and a half of being backordered. Wish I would have seen what my last chip version was before it bricked.

AFAIK the new chips have had this issue put to bed.
Those still with the ones marked known - MAG4FA, for example - are still susceptible.
Hopefully though these will be put to bed with JB.
(JB sources, including the i9100 - have so far seemed to contain the official patch.)
So do you think the MAG2GA 0xE may be safe? I'd be willing to test this chip format and I'll make sure to post that in the General section. I did however, just last night flash Snipers PacMan after I made a backup of my Lightweight v0.5, did a little configuring and did a backup again with PAC. Now I'm back on my Lightweight by restoring from CWM. Couple more times of doing that may brick me with all the wipes. We'll see!!

Considering the issue was known and fixed in the GNex - and that this is not in the official patch list - I have always considered the new eMMCs as not susceptible to the bug. That's not to say that good practices should still not be in order... but for most people the problem was proactively addressed by the community and should not be an issue.
Well ladies and gents after tomorrow I may be moving to the Galaxy Nexus. I have been eyeballing them for a while now and today my brother got one. He brought it over and wanted it rooted and cool custom rom put on it and we had an evening of fun with it. I can upgrade to that phone for $.97 and that is hard for me to pass up. There is nothing wrong with my Inc 2, but I sure do like that bigger screen it is very snappy and I don't think I can go wrong for a dollar. I have also been looking at the S3 for awhile too, but I will give the gnex a go and see what I think.
The phone may be $0.97 up front but it's not a $0.97 phone. That's the subsidized price. The real cost of the phone is in the monthly fees over the course of a two year contract.
I'm sure he knows that..

Oh yeah, I know they still get their money, especially with the data charges! I have been purchasing my phones used so I could keep my unlimited data, but I now work from home and don't really need unlimited data because I stay connected to wifi 90% of the time, so why not upgrade and get my new phone. The only con I could find was the lack of a SD card, but I have a 16gb sd card in my phone now and that is plenty for me.
Well, I did go ahead and get the gnex and so far so good. I still have my Inc 2 and will still play around with it from time to time and if for some reason I find something that I dislike with the gnex I will have something to on hand to activate.

Cool, enjoy it. Looks like a solid phone, it was my backup plan if I didn't get the deal I wanted on the S3

I think that's what ill be doing. That phone is still good and you don't have to deal with branding. Plus you get the benefit of LTE.
So far it is a great phone, running PA on it and it is running smoothly. I don't think I will regret getting it at all.

Story of my life. Except I flash all the ROMS I've already flashed because I'm a flash-a-holic. Its so bad that, after running the PAC ROM we have; which runs great for me, I felt the need to flash something else just for the sake of flashing.
I need help.
