First glitch...

Played some music using Winamp tonight around 8 o'clock. Was playing a game of 8-ball when suddenly my music starts playing, full volume. Turned the screen on, no alarms were going off, Winamp was still in the state of "paused" and nothing was showing in the notifications area.

...Hope this doesn't happen while I'm talking to a customer at my store, or say, I don't know....sitting in church on Sunday. cripes.

Battery was steller though. Went from 8:30am until around Midnight (16 hours) and was still at 43% battery level.
[Fascinate Android Development] Syn Ack:
If anything, this kernel gives a teeny bit better battery life. Thank you Adrynalyne for posting. I'm hoping the last kernel we see before the OTA is from the "EC" series, meaning March 2011, also meaning that it would come out soon.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Had a "random reboot" for the first time since applying 2.9.1 (went EC10 kernel last night) ... but of course I also now have the Amazon AppStore and a couple other new/different things going on since then as well. Any value in the dumpstate_sys_xxxxxx_error.log file contents? FWIW, it crashed/rebooted when I pushed the power button to wake the device. LMK if any of that data is useful.

Otherwise .. stellar kernel! Best yet IMO.

edit: I also ran into a problem where the screen wouldn't turn off if the phone is plugged in (setting verified as off, never changed it), but it's been hard to repeat. Going "cwm all" and voodoo again before bed, wish me luck, this is usually the part where my SF world comes crashing down on my head :)
[Fascinate Android Development] s13_slider:
Great kernel! The phone is even more responsive than when it was on eb16!! Thank you so much!
[Fascinate Android Development] Dread This Day:
Definitely MUCH more responsive, seems ALL AROUND better. Not had ONE problem, thanks for sharing!
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Just flashed over EB16 in Blackhole 4.3 ROM. So far so good, will monitor for battery usage. I don't see the difference in responsiveness. I opted for the EC10 voodoo kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] humblewarfare:
Dumb question, but how do I verify what I'm running? I just flashed 2.9.1 and EC01 and want to verify it has been updated.
[Fascinate Android Development] khanable:
battery life seems to have gotten better.. phone runs good. thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] brickbeats:
Works good over EB01 VOODOO
[Fascinate Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
Looking good so far. I didn't cycle last night because I spent too much time playing Angry Birds Rio.

But, for analyses sake:

Unplugged at 3:10 pm

Played AB:R for about 3.5 hours overall. Also did some gps, twitter, foursquare, texting, email, calls, etc.

Plugged in at 11:30pm with 20% left.

Overall a success, I think, since that's a much higher than average usage scenario for me. Today should be much more normal.
[Fascinate Android Development] Hypnosis4U2NV:
First off, it's either EB01 or EC10, so I will assume since your in the EC10 thread that your referring to EC10..

From terminal:

#cat /proc/version

Should show:

Linux version 2.6.32.9 (mwhero@NACDMA-BUILD-SVR8) (gcc version 4.4.1 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-67) ) #1 Thu Mar 10 12:52:44 KST 2011

March 10 = EC10

Flashed from my Fascinate running SFC v2.9.1/EC10 V00D00..
[Fascinate Android Development] humblewarfare:
Thanks I have all that except the "March 10 = EC10" using terminal emulator
[Fascinate Android Development] zantopad:
Just reporting back my results: Well I flashed EC10 voodoo yesterday over the EB16 kernel, running SC 2.9.1 v. I had an issue with non-functional menu, home and search softkeys... Only the back softkey would work. I wiped Dalvik and cache twice each before flashing. Anyway I've since gone back to the EB16 voodoo kernel with no issues. Since I haven't seen anyone else have this problem in this thread, could the above problem be an artifact of a bad cache wipe? TIA
[Fascinate Android Development] garywojdan81:
Maybe a bad download? Could also try a cache/dalvik wipe after flashing the kernel and before the first boot up.
[Fascinate Android Development] chavez77:
EC10 based SuperClean update?

adrynalyne -- when do you suppose an updated superclean ROM will be put together based on this new kernel? Seems to be pretty stable.

I ask because I have a replacement Fassy on the way (my mic stopped working -- even on stock rom) and I'm lazy (would rather odin w/ 1 step ;-).
[Fascinate Android Development] Hypnosis4U2NV:
Right, I added that to show you how to tell which version you have..

This is how you read build numbers:

First letter: D=2010, E=2011, etc

Second letter: A=January, B=February, C=March, etc

Third and Fourth Digit: = Day of the Month

[Fascinate Android Development] chargerfn909:
I agree.. I didn't even bother to wipe battery stats and I am still getting better life than on either EB01 or EB16 (and it's only the 2nd day). VERY clean set up I have going on here, thanks a lot Adryn

and dl30 translates to....???
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
1. Odin/Heimdall 2.9 from here

2. Boot into recovery,Flash 2.91,and then Flash EC10.

Surely 2 steps can't be too hard? Let's let adrynalyne focus on what he needs to and not request him making personal packages of little value.

[Fascinate Android Development] pkopalek:
The GPS problem with these phones is built into the SoC. The GPS Antennae is small and weak compared to most other Android phones.

No software will/can change this.
[Fascinate Android Development] shorto85:
Everything seems to be working great for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] GrainOsand:
I think it tanslates to Dec,30 2010...
[Fascinate Android Development] BrwnSuperman:
This kernel does provide a real world performance boost and a bit more stability as well. I haven't run into a single FC since trying it out and I seem to avg 1-2 hours more of battery life a day. Unplug at 8 a.m. and 10% at 10 p.m. Regular use during the day, music and regular use from 6-9:30p.m.
[Fascinate Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
This is not entirely true. You can see vast differences in GPS performance (from 3-second 2m locks to never locking at all and seeing one satellite) on the exact same phone with different software versions.

The weak antenna is only a small part of the SGS GPS problem.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
There is also a lot of other interference going on that can cause varying results.

Used my fascinating voodoo powers
[Fascinate Android Development] elarson006:
running SC 2.9.1 with this voodoo kernel now.. no issues. battery at 77% , 7h+ off charger with light-medium use (background data, autosync, wifi on the whole time, web browsing, emails, few min of angry birds ;p)

6.5hrs since unplugged. Low usage besides checking email, constant bluetooth, a few calls and 1 bar of 3G. Phone is showing 75%.
[Fascinate Android Development] tripacer99:
3 hours since unplugged, and i'm at 93%. with 3G on, GPS navigation running, music playing, and taking a few calls.

[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
integrated into 2.9.2, right? thread deprecated ?
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Yes to the first, no to the second.

I know it may be hard to believe, but some people run ROMs other than the latest superclean release. :p
[Fascinate Android Development] zakth:
I have ran this kernel since you first posted this and must say that I have indeed noticed an improvement in battery live and overall performance. In the same paragraph I will also say that battery life is still not what it was pre-Froyo but I know that's something you are still working on and is hit-an-miss for some people.
[Fascinate Android Development] phooky:

[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
NoLED its a pretty good alternative to BLN. I think I actually may have grown to prefer it.
[Fascinate Android Development] minho422:
so is this kernel different from one in super clean 2.9.2? I hardly noticed any difference when I switched over to this kernel...which is more stable in terms of performance/battery?
[Fascinate Android Development] Hypnosis4U2NV:
No. It's on the 2.9.2 changelog, and if it wasn't all you need to do is scroll down and read the changelog of previous release versions.

Is it recommend to do the *228 update after installing this kernal?
[Fascinate Android Development] brickbeats:
Hey, my battery life is phenomenal now with EC10, and increased speed too.
[Fascinate Android Development] renf:
Haven't noticed the performance increase that some have reported but definitely seems like I'm getting better battery life with this kernel. Thanks adryn!
[Fascinate Android Development] pkopalek:
Sure software can help getting a lock and narrowing coordinates with "smart" location detection like htc's use.

But put your fascinate down next to a first-gen hardware droid like the htc hero. open Just GPS. The antenna doesn't allow the phone to see anywhere near as many satellites as the htc.

It's the SoC that is probably shared among at least the cdma galaxy s phones. The processors/boards/memory/antennas/etc all come manufactured on one chip.

And this particular package has an incredibly weak cell antenna, wifi antenna, and gps antenna versus other android offerings.

I sure hope that newer software helps address the situation, which it seems like some improvement IS coming. I don't notice any much faster gps locks here really, but everything is great anyway.

I'm glad if the eb10 or other offerings give people better experiences. That's great!

So I agree, the software can certainly help! But the hardware is a hard fact. And that will end up being the limiting factor in how well gps will work in the end, imo.
[Fascinate Android Development] tjthebest:
GPS only needs 3 satellites, ideally 4.
[Fascinate Android Development] quarky42:
Is this kernel reasonably safe to tether with if you have the proper modification done through qpst? If so, or if no, can this information be added to the OP?

[Fascinate Android Development] luis2k10:
Ive used it since second day it was released (I was a bit hesitant to use it at first silly me) and so far ive noticed a much improved battery life. thats what matters to me. I was dead set to upgrade to the new htc phone but Im going to hang on to this phone with sc 2.9.2 and voodoo its the perfect phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
The weird thing about GPS is that the stock EB01 GPS config is what worked for me the best. It used standalone mode. With location services turned off, it would get a decent lock only a few seconds after opening Google maps. Then, after about 10 total seconds, it would be in the 2-4 meters accuracy range. This was inside my house. Outside, it was even better.

When superclean switched to ms-assisted, which helped some people, I thought I'd give it a shot. I would get about the same accuracy, but it would take 2-3 times as long to get the initial fix.

I haven't tested it on EC10, but I'm guessing I would find the same or maybe even better than before. Maybe I just got lucky with a good phone? or maybe all the GPS satellites are closer to me than everyone else :cool:?

There has been quite a bit of work on other SGS devices to get the GPS control and raw data into the hands of those who know how to look at the results and see what's going wrong, then tweak the settings to their optimum performance.

From what they have found, the GPS receives a lot of interference when other devices on the phone are activated (shocking, I know...). The GPS signal will start to degrade even when the data connection is active. It takes a ridiculous amount of good engineering, high manufacturing quality parts, proper shielding, good solder, etc. to cram a buttload of noisy devices into a tiny package and not have them all interfere with each other.

We want the thinest, lightest, cheapest, and yet we want the best performing. Compare this to Samsung, who wants to make a product with as much profit margin as they can manage without losing customers.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
This has the tether monitoring module removed from the kernel (actually replaced with a "dummy" file).

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the current options for "safe" tethering are:

1. Using the built-in "hotspot" program, after editing the data in the EFS (either through QPST or other methods). If you try to use the built in program without changing the settings, I believe that you won't get very far before being told that you need to sign up for the service through Verizon. By this I mean, its not "unsafe", it's just not possible without changing those settings.

2. Use a 3rd party tethering program, like wifi tether (seems like the easiest option to me!)

Moral of the story: as far as we know, its the kernel tethering monitoring module that makes it unsafe, not the settings. Adrynalyne confirmed that this has the dummy file here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12280861&postcount=15 so you should be good to go.

I used this kernel with tegrak overclock (free in app market) to increase max cpu frequency then used set cpu to set it at max (1.3 ghz) and got steady quadrant scores of 1800-1900 in 6 benchmarks. Even with the max cpu frequency at 1 ghz i still get about 1600 max quadrant scores. Battery is good, been getting max 8 hours heavy usage with other kernels before and with this one been getting 12 hours or more, and have been the past 4 days with governor always running performance and max 1000 and min 1000 in set cpu.

Not receiving calls

Well, it's not every call because I've had some come through, but I've had several instances (way more than usual, anyway) when I just have a voicemail pop up and the phone never rang. Could this be kernel related? Or something else perhaps? I didn't have this problem nearly as much before I flashed EC10.

I use Google Voice for my voicemail service, if that makes a difference.

I had that happen to me today as well on this kernel. When I got home this afternoon I tried both a cellphone from another carrier and our home Cox line (both local calls) and they rang my phone every time. The call that didn't ring earlier was an out of state call. Is there any pattern to where the calls you missed came from?
[Fascinate Android Development] CNemo7539:
Well, could somebody help me with this?

I'm ether very tired or have some sort of mental block and do something wrong, but do not understand what...

I've downloaded zip on the phone, and flashed it with recovery. However I still see EB01 in my system information. How I can make sure that I updated kernel?

One thing I've noticed is that VZ animation is gone and I see animated android word. Is this it?

Edit: I figured it out. Systempanel shows correct version.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:

[Fascinate Android Development] Smitty9803:
I just flashed the EB01 radio, Blackhole rom, and EC10 kernel last night. Battery life seems pretty good so far and the phone is definitely quicker.

Then this morning, my sister tried to call me 4 times in a row and my phone never rang. She said it rang a few times on her end before going to voicemail so it wasn't going straight to vm as if the phone was off. I've never had this happen before today so that makes me think it is either the rom or the kernel.

[Fascinate Android Development] SotYPL:
I've had missed calls problem (phone not ringing at all and not showing anything) with every froyo kernel so far. The worst thing was some time ago when my fiancee was calling me like 20 times during 30 minutes and I had no idea till I came home. I had to turn airplane mode on/off and phone started to ring normally. Around 2 weeks ago I did complete DI01 restore and allowed EA28 OTA. Then current SC+kernel but no radio. I had no problem with missed calls since then and was trying every single SC and kernels. Right now I'm on SC 2.9.2+JT's EC10 source kernel with EA28 radio. So it seems that problems with missed calls are related to EB01 radio not to rom/kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I'm not sure about that. I think I had this problem once on the DL09 radio, but now I'm not so sure if I had switched back to EB01 radio before or after it happened.

I have been very happy with my Eclair firmware on the Captivate ... especially since I installed OCLF.

The only problem is the stupid imprecise GPS. Yes, I have the hack that changes the server to google etc. etc. etc ... it still is not accurate.

Before the jump in need to get some clarity ...

- is the FROYO upgrade going to fix the GPS problem

- is FROYO faster than ECLAIR + OCLF

- will FROYO allow wifi tether (I currently use barnacle on eclair to provide wifi access to my iPAD). Does AT&T charge for the tether ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallrat:
A No to all of your questions.

No, froyo will not fix your GPS problem.

No, froyo is not faster than eclair + OCLF. You'll have to do another lag fix on froyo as well.

No froyo will not allow wifi tether natively. You have to make changes for it to work.
