[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gubiguy:
Hey guys,

I know this is a pretty common question with other phones and devices, but there seem to be mixed responses:

Is it alright if I leave my fascinate charging all night long (7-8 hours straight)? I use it as an alarm clock and I need it to be fully charged by the morning.

Now, about the mixed reviews:

I've heard that some phones (mostly higher end devices) come equipped with a smart-charging feature that cuts off charging after 100% is reached to prevent overcharging the battery (thus preventing degradation). And, of course, I've heard of other devices that have no such feature and are adversely affected by prolonged periods of charging.

So what do you guys know?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin Gossett:
Ever notice when you unplug your phone in the morning it isn't always at 100%? Once it hits a full charge it begins to discharge, and then begins recharging again. If you were to look at a plotter, it would show it charge to 100, then discharge to around 96, and then back up again.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Musicmaster:
I always wondered if it was because I'm using a non-samsung charger. Now I know!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacisblack:
I was excited when I heard that Froyo source from the mesmerize was applicable to the Fascinate. I had reverted to DJ05 voodoo5 because Froyo was just not practical and had too many bugs. The issues I noticed on Froyo but not on DJ05 are as follows:

1. Battery life very sporadic. Sometimes OK battery life 5-7% per hour light usage but other times heavy battery drain 10-15% per hour same or no use at all. (Doesn't apply so much to the new kernels battery seems to be a bit better 3-5% per hour screen off but not as good as I got on DJ05 with 1-3% per hour screen off) Tested this multiple times while I was at work.

2. Not nearly as responsive as DJ05 despite better benchmarks.

3. Signal constantly drops to 1x and sometimes stays there until reboot. I live in a major city there should be no reason for the signal to go down that much especially since I probably had 4 bars 3G 10 seconds before it dropped to 1x.

4. Tasker displays low memory in notification bar even though not many things are open. Not sure if there are memory leaks or what but when I first boot my phone and I do a level 2 clear of RAM I have about 160-180Mb used but at the end of the day if I do a L2 clear it doesn't go down at all and stays at 250-270Mb used until I reboot. This causes my phone to slow down/freeze even when only a few applications are open and is very annoying.

5. My phone gets very hot, did not experience this on 2.1.

6. SD scan takes a lot longer.

I guess my point is that even with the source Froyo just doesn't seem to be worth switching to, for me at least. My phone feels much more practical and easier to use with DJ05. Is anyone else experiencing these issues even with the new kernel source? The Fascinate forums have been dead the past week so it's kind of getting my hoped up on development.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
1. Had the same with all kernels until using this one (finally back to loosing max 4% overnight).

2. Disagree.

3. Same. Until I started using the DL09 radio/modem (with froyo).

4. I never even look at or have a task manager. I just know froyo does a much better job of memory management.

5. Never had this happen on eclair or froyo.

6. With 9gigs of media on my card and ext4 file system it only take about 6 seconds on boot.

good day.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SOTK:
I agree with most of your points, Zac. Seriously, almost the exact same experiences. I have been extremely frustrated and disappointed with battery life. I'm at a loss to explain the inconsistent battery drains nor do I find them easy to reproduce. Wacky! All I know is that there is something wrong with these Froyo Roms and I'm tired of hearing from posters that you need to recalibrate your battery and do this and that on reboot. The crap doesn't work. Its inconsistent at best. I had way better battery performance on 2.1 as well. Maybe I should go back?

I appreciate all the work of the devs on Froyo but just not sure were "there yet" as we were on 2.1. I don't know...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SotYPL:
1. Not true for me. I'm on SC2.9.2 and checked lot of different voodoo kernels so far. Right now I'm on last imnuts's 100uv and getting around 30h with moderate use (~3h of display on). I'm using JuiceDeffender Ultimate but without it was still getting at least 24 hours.

2. Not true.

3. Not true but I'm on EA28 radio, it fixed missed calls issue for me.

4. Never had problems with lack of memory.

5. Never happen.

6. Not true.

Conclusion: do full DI01 restore, get OTA EA28 update then SC and your choice of froyo kernel but skip radio update. There is definitely something wrong with your phone.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
My only issue with the EC01 ROM/Radio/Kernels was a problem locking on GPS, and that was fixed in the last couple of days with a change to the name server used.

My battery drains a little faster than I'd like while I'm using it but I get 24hrs with the way I use my phone. It's no secret that the 2.2 ROM's use more battery than 2.1 ROM's. Only you can decide how much that matters to you.

Have you tried a stock EB01 ROM? Or maybe debloated/deodexed. Then you would get the benefits of 2.2 with as little change as possible to your phone. I really liked my EB01 debloated/deodexed build. It let me upgrade the Swype and install the Bing free browser from the Canadian Mesmerize.

Like others have said I disagree about performance. Almost every upgrade in ROM has made an improvement on perceived performance. (I only use benchmarks to make sure lagfix is enabled).

I have had every issue except SOD on various ROM's but with EC01 I am completely satisfied with the setup I have now. (now that GPS is 'fixed').

In the end only you can decide if "it's worth it". You are not the first person to be happier on a stock build and that's not a bad thing.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
1. I get pretty good battery life, might be better than when I had DJ05. Use juice defender as I find it helps a lot.

2. Not true, I find it just as responsive.

3. I do find that the signal drops, but not as much as you. I used to get full bars most of the time, but now it drops by 1-2 bars for no reason.

4. Never had any type of this problem. Only time my phone freezed up is when I used a 100mV undervolted kernel.

5. Mine only gets hot when I use it for GPS and charging the same time. Other than that, pretty cool.

6. I do believe there was something in the dev section that allows you to speed up scan if you want.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phanatick:
I update OTA last week on Verizon to Froyo 2.2. My battery was overheating and draining like crazy from my CPU usage being at a constant 99%..

I found the source of the problem. An app I use for facebook called "FLOW". The CPU usage was cut to 20% when I killed it with "Advanced Task Killer".

I resolved the issue by: Opening Flow.. going to Preferences.. Notification Settings.. Refresh Type.. Checked Periodic Polling (I was using Gmail Experimental previously)

Hope this helps...

AVG AntiVirus alerted on Superuser. I chose to "fix" & AVG said that the uninstall was unsuccessful. Any advice?

Running Auto-nootered stock.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dsf3g:
I think that's a false positive. I had the same issue running AVG and have found a few discussion forum posts about it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bugeyed1:
Thanks, that's what I suspect. Hopefully AVG will update soon to fix this. I don't like ignoring AV alerts.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] A. Nonymous:
There's no need at all for an anti-virus app on Android. They take up processor time, potentially slow the device down and offer no additional security. Just use common sense with what you install and you'll be fine.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
This.. AVG is what I put on people's Windows PCs, but I won't put it on a mobile device.

With root exploits and social engineering out there, sure there are possibilities for problems. AVG is only going to suck your resources with little return.

I installed AVG on my TV this morning AVG is the Roxors, if only i can figure out how to install it on my toaster.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mazook98:
Umm..EXACTLY THIS...Initially I assumed that the OP was talking about a pc alert when I saw this (maybe trying to download su files to push through adb?)..But on a rooted android device? Stuff like that should be the first things taken OFF...but, whatever, some people get used to having things...(I rooted my wife's Evo shift 2 months ago and she still has all the Sense garbage on it, still uses "Lookout", has NEVER moved an app to sd, never cleans cache, and so on...she ONLY uses wifi tether, and thinks the police are gonna come knock on our door when she does that...sigh....

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dsf3g:
Well, Google sent out an alert a couple of weeks ago after they'd removed a bunch of malware from the app store. That's what prompted me to install and run AVG. I have unsintalled it since (mostly because of the false positive on SuperUser).

However, having dealt with crippling computer viruses in the past, I'm not quite so sanguine about "just be careful" being enough.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bugeyed1:
That was my reason for installing it. Thought it couldn't hurt, right? I will see if things run faster as mentioned here with it removed. When you see an app that's soooo cool & the poster on this site links to it, it's hard not to just grab it without considering the source.

Cheers,

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dsf3g:
Thanks... now I'll have that image in my head the rest of the day.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] A. Nonymous:
Yes. Google detected the malicious apps and removed them. All of them had been running on users phones without a single flag being thrown up by AVG or any other anti-virus program. Just by design, Android is basically immune to malware and viruses. It is prone to social engineering attacks just like any other OS though and there's not an app in the world (that I know of) that will protect you against that.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dsf3g:
Well, that's because they were modified apps and AVG had not been made aware of them, so they were not included in AVGs malware definitions. By the time I installed AVG I assumed the defs had been updated.

As for Android being immune to anything other than social engineering attacks.. that sounds like famous last words to me.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] A. Nonymous:
That is my point exactly. This is how it work:

Dev publishes a malicious app and gets people to install it via social engineering.

Google detects that the app is malicious.

Google removes said app from market and wipes it from phones.

AVG and others update their virus defs to protect against said app.

I've never, ever seen where an AV product on Android actually detected a malicious app BEFORE Google did. Maybe I'm wrong. I'd appreciate a link proving me wrong. That would make a strong case for an AV app. Even if it did, it doesn't protect you against social engineering. Take the live wallpaper that wants access to your contacts. No AV app in the world currently protects you against that.

They can remotely delete apps from any Android device. This capability has been well documented.

Not sure I'm too happy about that.

For those of you who don't follow Zodttd on twitter, you may be interested to know that he has just released PSX4DROID v3.0.0 for free on his website! This is his newest release!

For those of you who don't know, the android market has been cracking down on emulators lately (or so it would seem).

Happy to see Zodttd is still supporting his loyal fans!

Pick it up here:

http://t.co/0KaEnVe

edit: the shortened links are what Zodttd posted on his twitter post. I'm posting them out of courtesy since I know devs like to track their hits. The links point to zodttd.com so you can be assured they're legit.

[Android Apps and Games] qubanaso:
hey im kinda of a noob with emulators but what i have to use to get the roms with this
[Android Apps and Games] zodttd:
Hi,

Yes, due to Google suspending my Market and Checkout accounts, I have simply made it available as an APK package on my site. Direct links are fine. I should of used bit.ly to get some click stats, but I landed up using Twitter's URL shortener by default.

So now psx4droid is free, compliant and based on open source, and improving fast.

You can post the direct link to the APK install package for psx4droid 3.0.0 and sources if you'd like.

Note that psx4droid 3.0.0's save states are no longer compatible with any previous version. If you have any quick saves, you should run 3.0.0 with quick load OFF so it won't crash on load of a new game.

There may be some bugs with the settings panel / virtual controller issues. If so, I'll work them out.

This version is performing great!

Just wish I could place it on Android Market. :(

Thanks,

ZodTTD
