Yes you can, but not because of tethering.

If you wireless tether excessively, it can mess up your battery due to overheating. I recommend removing the back cover and setting it on some cool metal. (I used to set it on top of my computer, didn't keep it cool, but kept it cooler)

G1 keeps rebooting!?!?!?

Hey i am somewhat of a noob...so dont go hard on me lol
i am running cyanogen 4.04...........
however my phone seems to reboot periodically at random times...when i least expect it my phone has either restarted or in the middle of rebooting? Im hoping this isnt a hardware issue...any suggestions on how i can fix my phone?
My phone started doing those kernel panics(random rebooting) when I went to the expermental line, something is causing a big oppsies and instead of force closing, it is crashing the system. So reboot, make nandroid backup, wipe, reflash rom, if problem persits, try different rom

ok thanks...yea i didnt try a wipe...im not sure how to do a nandroid backup is that necessary? but yea i hope this fixes the problem because those random reboots are annoying as ****!
Oh extremely annoying, to do a nandroid backup, just click on it in the recovery, not really important but it is a nice little fall back on

Hey, no problem, I am here to help, where is david, that boy is like a damn machine, constantly answering ?s , I can barely keep up with you man, you must have been trying that whole sleep thing, well I am drunk, let see if I can get this ho in ny bed to act right, I really need that ring, man, but 19.99 is kind of expensive, damn being a pimp in training, my pimp hand ain't strong enough. Yet
One more thing to check if gridlock's solution doesn't work.
Use a sharp knife to scrape the battery terminals both on the battery and phone, If those get dirty then your phone might be loosing power periodically.

Flashing ROM while charging..

Normally I would fully charge the phone before flashing anything, but since Cyanogen just released his new 4.1.6, I wanna flash it right away ! My battery has 67% left. Can I plug the phone into the charger and flash it ?
Thanks in advance
Yes, you can charge your phone and flash at the same time. I always do.
I can't tell you from a tech perspective if it's okay but I can speak from personal experience that it doesn't do any bad. I do it all the time
the only reason they say to have a fully charged battery is so that during the flashing process your phone will not die and possibly leave you with a brick but as yellow (ffff00) said you can flash with your phone charging. i always do too.
Lol, yes you can . Have fun with new version.

Your phone must be over 30% when flashing a rom

oooooh you say it so sternly. how do you know have you tried flashing a rom when you have 31% and it went fine, but when you did it at 30% it died lol. actually i have read this as well.
I never flash while charging. I'm too paranoid of power surges causing a flash to go ugly. And I've had equipment on good quality surge supressors die from power surges before so I don't trust those either.
Therefore, battery power flashes only for me
Flashing with the cable is always the best way to go.. If something goes wrong you are going to have to plug it in anyway
But i have not had any problems thus far.
I see most of the Rom now request the you should have atleast 50% battery life left

Psssshhhhhht
get your RUU and WM butt outta here, this is Android, a system that doesn't treat it's users like idiots...... hehe sorry, I do NOT miss using RUU on my HTC Kaiser. I hated the fact that it absolutely would NOT flash your phone unless you had at least 50% batt.

So just because the LED doesn't come on to show the phone is charging in recovery, it is actually charging? I always flash when my battery is about 20% so I really hope it is charging

careful with flashing

i just wanted to make this thread to warn people. my phone just broke. wont turn on. and i have tried everything!!! the same thing happened to mssmison's old phone. and we think its just from flashing so many times that we just wore out the rom. i have probably (no lie) flashed my phone 60 times if not more. so i just wanna let everone know to go easy on the flashing as you may eventually break your phone!!!
i honestly dont think android messed it up i just wore the phone out.
android is not the cause of my phone crashing. so you can flash android to your phone, just dont go all buckwild on it and flash it like a fat guy at dunken donuts

I've noticed my phone sputter a few times when I was flashing, or rebooting, like I'll have to press reboot a few times before it responds. I always wonder how long this thing can possibly endure.

[Q] Is this a "bricked" Note?

Hey every1!
I was hoping that my first post here would be something more funny then this... But... you can´t always get what you wan´t.
My problem... My note is completly dead!
I was messing around with editing some pictures i just took on the kids when my phone just frooze... I then held the powerbutton for about 15sec before it died. After that... stonedead!
No matter what i do with it, it´s just black and doesn´t respond to anything.
- Had 20+% battery in it when it frooze, i´ve tried to charge it but no difference.
- Had the battery pulled for 30mins+ , no change.
- Can´t get to recovery mode whatever i do.
- Connected it do the computer, no sound no nuttin.
The phone is/was rooted, running rocketrom V.20 with abyssnote kernel 3.3 when it died.
Haven´t had any issues with it until now.
So... Any ideas on what i should try next? Besides using it as a really expensive paperweight that is
HELP!! =)
/Swe
dude dont worry , may be you need to charge your mobile then turn it on ( i hope it's just battery dead)
Hold the power button for 30 seconds or more just to be sure it's resetting

Not OC no... undervolted thoo... but have been running the same UV setting for 3 weeks.
Must be hardware problem, no doubt about it.
Try charging it for a while and then press the power button for 10-20 seconds.
Hope it's that simple! Good luck!

Well... Been charging the brick overnight (12+ hours), and still not a single sign of life.
I guess there's nuttin more to it then to return it.
Hopefully they won't notice the root and custom rom and kernel, i meen... It's completly dead so it shouldn't be a problem right?!
If you find, try other battery once.
- Use JIG
Switch off your phone and take out the battery for 15-20 seconds
Install the battery back but DO NOT turn it on
Plug this USB JIG DONGLE into the micro-USB port of the phone
Wait for a few seconds. You should see the Download Mode logo on the screen.
Unplug the module.

If i had a jig i would have tried that for sure. However, i got fed up on trying so it's now returned to the store and sent away for service.
Ty every1 for ur efforts with trying to aid me!
I would be interested to see what Samsung say if they noticed the root... might make me think twice about rooting it on such a expensive device. Good luck though!

Hey!
Yes, great news actually!
I got it back like 5 days ago...
And, it was the main circuit board that had faulted! That ment they couldn´t get the info of it ,or atleast they decided that it would be to much trouble to do so.
So it´s now back and running again... rooted, running RR v22 and franco kernel v6
Didn´t cost me anything
Hopefully it won´t happen again thoo... I can´t be without it anymore! Used my old 3gs when it was on service... goddam hated it!

First and for most I want to congratulate you on having your phone back & fully functional again. I too am in the same situation right now where my phone is hard bricked and can't turn on in any shape or form. I sen't it to a local shop to fix who do Jtag for this phone but say they can't get it to start. I wanted to know when you said "the main circuit board that had faulted" did they replace any parts? or just flash software with JTag again? Any help would be really appreciated.
Did yummy take out the battery and then insert it and den did yu try booting it up????
press thanx if I helped yu sent from sga

Just got a random reboot.

I was in settings/storage, and tapped on apps. The phone lagged then opened the apps section. I tapped the back button and then the phone shut off and restarted. I am rooted, twrp recovery, but using the stock rom.
Has anyone else experienced this at all? Wondering if it is a widespread thing, or not.

Cool story bro
I've been getting way too many random reboots. Something as simple as turning off wifi or turning it back on will cause it. I'm not sure why it does it and I'm fully stock, unrooted. I've seen suggestions about clearing the cache and I've done that, but the problem continues. I'd say it does it on average once every couple of days.
Now that's a cool story, bro.

I've thought about wiping and starting over, but I'd rather find out that it's a known issue with a fix before I go through all of that work. It's not like I've been flashing ROMS and messing around with the radios or anything like that.
