Have to say, as much as I like the quality of the reception I get in my area and as much as I love my Fascinate (temporarily deactivated...), Verizon is an absolute CS nightmare. Occasionally you get the rep with half a brain, but more often than not, they don't even know their own products and services...
[Fascinate General] bangdrum:
Tried this and there sending me a replacement fascinate. Offered a Droid x
[Fascinate General] cwd500:
I tried out CM7 for the day, but couldnt get any calls so i odin back. I got to

dl09 no problem, so i decided to update to ed04. I got to ea28 and now when i go to update it downloads (takes 30+ mins) and when it go to install it just reboots into recovery. When i reboot i go to system updates, status it says Name: sch-i500_EA28_ED04_commercial Status: Update failed or incomplete.
[Fascinate General] ducati966:
Today the offered me the Incredible 2 or the X. I declined both. Funny thing is i got a call yesterday with an automated survey. I gave bad feed back and the recording said a manager would follow up. When the manager called today it went right to voicemail.
[Fascinate General] Snakehn:
I called yesterday because of this issue, first person told me to keep an eye for updates, then ironically the survey call went straight to voicemail, so called them again and they offered an incredible 2, I took the offer because front camera is a plus.

So long my dear fascinate.
[Fascinate General] shahud:
I think the amount of developer support for the Fascinate makes it better than the DInc2. The DInc2 doesn't seem to have much developer support at this point. It's been almost two months since it's release but not much has been done with it. I would rather have a rooted fascinate with custom ROMs than a stock bloated DInc2 which is the main reason I haven't taken there offer to give me a DInc2.
[Fascinate General] italysfinest327:
Ive been having this issue for quite a while, even with the update still having problem. Theyre sending me a replacement, hopefully this will resolve the issue but im not getting my hopes up. The thing is i really dont want a different phone i do like the fascinate and having the devs producing great roms and not having a locked bootloader does make this phone an appealing choice. Hopefully the replacement works as it should.
[Fascinate General] Chewy1576:
I called VZW today about the missed call problem. The tech told me that it is a software issue and Samsung is the one responsible to fix it with no timeline available. They are being told to not offer replacements but she is sending a refurb fascinate anyway.

This will be #3 in a week. Started with the data loss issue, now missed calls. Hope it gets better.
[Fascinate General] syaoran12:
Dude the dinc 2 has been out for a month of course they have roms or perm root. Stupid locked bootloader lol.

Still they only offered me a X or continuum, but I have a manager calling me back tomorrow with my luck it will go straight to vm.

How do you get to do these surveys?
[Fascinate General] ajd88:
I called this morning about my gfs fascinate, and i got the run around. I explained that she is 8 months pregnant and cant afford to miss calls. They said ed04 fixes it and theres nothing they can do. Im getting a call back monday and if it still happens their gonna send a replacement. I argued that my gf isnt in a trial and error situation but no budge.
[Fascinate General] Slacker101:
Was offered droid x... lol.
[Fascinate General] SciReal:
I was offered refurbished fascinates :( lol

Droid X would feel like a step backwards to me. I would decline if offered that.

I will be calling back to complain when I get off work however! I'm still not getting all my texts our calls!
[Fascinate General] ilprobu2:
3 fascinate for me and wife escalated to network tech they are monitoring my calls incoming and outgoing been two weeks and 3hrs on hold have not offered dif model yet have had data slow as 68kbps missed calls phone randomly puts itself into airplane mode. I've had 2 supervisor call backs and alot of apologies still 180 bucks a month w limited service. The wait continues...
[Fascinate General] ajd88:
Wow that sucks. Whats up with the inconsistent verizon customer service? I just called back a third time and got offered a replacement. Just really seems some have gotten lucky being offered different devices. I asked the last one i spoke to what would happen if the replacement did the same thing? She said they woyld just send another and so on. I think its ridiculous for such a major problem. Especially on a phone thats close to a year old.
[Fascinate General] ilprobu2:
Yes I've been told they can send up to 6 replacement phones until they think of trying something else. Between me and the wife we have had six so far I am getting calls from supervisor once a week now to check in but it has been a problem with our phones sense froyo update so 3 to 4 months now..
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
After reading about all of the issues in this section and others, imo its actually verizons network thats the issue!! Its not the fascinate, my verizon service has been a bogey at best... thats with different phones ranging from the htc eris to fassy. Im willing to bet if you put your phone in cdma only(meaning turn off the 3g network) your phone will work flawless and signal will be excellent! Soon as the 3g is turned on, signal is all over the place... thats when I get the vm's with no missed call. Obviously verizon wont admit this because that would be a ****load of money they would lose or have to reimburse!! verizon's network was not setup for the overload of people with data plans... It seems these days new technology gets released before it even can be utilized and been properly tested for bugs... we are just guinea pigs paying full price for this crap!
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
I disagree. Not only is the Fascinate running Froyo plagued with this issue but so is the Mesmerize from US Cellular. Same model, different carrier. They had an update (EE19 I think) that is supposed to fix it for them yet users still report the same problem.

Also there are a lot less reports of issues on Eclair with both phones, if any. And users with Froyo on other phones (Droid X for example) aren't reporting this nearly as much as we are.
[Fascinate General] papstar:
The missed call bug only happens to me when I have Google Voice installed.
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
There was an update to Google Voice today. Has anyone tried to see if that helps?
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Thats perfectly fine, everybody is entitled to thier own opinions... Im simply basing mine off of past experiences. Although I will say that Att does not seem to be having these issues with the captivate and thats basically the same phone if Im not mistaken? No doubt there was less issues with eclair, so I guess really froyo could be part of the issue...never really though about that until you mentioned it. Hopefully someday we get gingerbread!!
[Fascinate General] sfobrien:
Well I don't really know what to think anymore. The wife's LG Ally running froyo had it's first missed call (that she is aware of) with no notification yesterday. We were sitting together and all of a sudden her voice mail notification went off. I laughed and said you have joined the club!

So network or Froyo? Who the frig knows.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
See thats what makes me lean more towards network because I have herd the same thing from others.
[Fascinate General] AlexDeGruven:
You can't compare the Fascinate to the Captivate or Vibrant when talking about signal or radio. They use different cellular technologies and are subject to different issues. Feel free to compare to Sprint or USCellular or MetroPCS, but stay away from GSM carriers.
[Fascinate General] phispher:
I called support and they called my phone and it went straight to voice mail. I have google voice installed as well and they said on their end, they showed it configured to go straight to voice mail. So the tech deactivated it on her end, called me and it came through just fine. Then she reactivated google voice and called me and it came through again just fine. Since the tech 'refreshed' the google voice configuration on their end, I haven't had an issue with a call going straight to voice mail....yet. If that changes, I'll let you know, but I'm curious to know if anyone else is having this issue WITHOUT using google voice.
[Fascinate General] ducati966:
I do not have google voice and still have the problem.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Thx for the reply, didnt know that was the case... Maybe I need to make the switch to att then lol. Point still remains, its either verizons network or a bug with froyo imo... Again if I leave 3g off I never get the staight to voicemail issue, google voice makes no difference. It would be nice if a few others would turn thier 3g off for a day or two to confirm if this is the cause or not.
[Fascinate General] fortesquieu:
So VRZ reps are only replacing the phone now with refurbs and Droid X?
[Fascinate General] Bob-o:
I got them to give me a dinc2. Shipped this morning. Imma miss my fassy though...
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
Has anyone gotten their Inc2 replacement? How's the signal strength compared to the Fascinate?
[Fascinate General] fortesquieu:
So i'm guessing Dinc2, Droid X and refurb Fassy?
[Fascinate General] ggt1_02:
I was offered a Dinc2, DX2, or a refurb fascinate. I took the refurb this time...
[Fascinate General] syaoran12:
Nope only offered me a DroidX, Dinc1 (not a 2), or a continuum.

which i declined all 3.
[Fascinate General] Bob-o:
They offered me a dx continuim vortex and I talked them into the dinc2. He said it sgould be new. No refurbs available as he saw on his comp. I took the dinc2. I hope it works out.
[Fascinate General] SotYPL:
Some tech support rep offered me refurbished Fascinate or one of the "Certified Pre-Owned" phones: Droid X, Droid 1, Droid Eris, HTC Imagio (she didn't even know that is wm not android). When I told her that all of them are worse than Fascinate and asked about Charge she told me no go. I guess I have to wait for another update or live with that cause I could only replace Fascinate for Charge (from current vzw android lineup). Anything else would be step back for me.
[Fascinate General] aerdely:
I got my inc2 a couple of days ago. Generally I like it more but signal seems the same. No root yet either but they're working on it and close. There are a couple of complaints from people about sound quality but others say theirs is good as well as mine ext speaker not as good as fascinated but my only little complaint liking HTC sense with theme pickers and bunch of other options not in touchwiz. Overall I would consider it to be a good upgrade as long as root and dev support come soon.
[Fascinate General] Slacker101:
But but but but... no AMOLED :(
[Fascinate General] aerdely:
True but honestly picture quality either justvas good if not better uses super lcd display 800x480. Can barely tell difference if quality isn't as good which I think its about the same.
[Fascinate General] syaoran12:
Well finally I will be the owner of a droid charge! Thanks vzw, but I will miss my fassy, at least till I look at the samoled+ screen and see a 4g icon.
[Fascinate General] aerdely:
How you pull that one. Lucky
[Fascinate General] Slacker101:
Ok please share how you managed to do that... I have had no luck.
[Fascinate General] syaoran12:
ummm i just got lucky is my guess.

I had been calling for days and managers never called me back like the said so i got straight to one after waiting 48hours with no call back. Then got taken care of.

FYI the offer for the Charge, Dinc2, and Droid X was no longer available to us once the ED04 update came out that was supposed to clear up all calls going to vm.
[Fascinate General] Slacker101:
When you called in did you just call technical support and ask for the manager from there? Also, any idea which call center you were talking to people in?
[Fascinate General] ajd88:
After calling like 5 times and a replacement they tried offering a continuum. I declined and tried to get something else for 45 minutes. No luck here. The guy actually told me to call back some other time and I might get another offer. Just depends on what they have available at the time.

[Fascinate General] Slacker101:
Called back again today. Was offered the HTC Inc2. The techie told me that they received a memo that said in big bold red letters, "NO 4G REPLACEMENT FOR A 3G PHONE". So good luck to anyone still trying.. honestly about to give up.
[Fascinate General] syaoran12:
I honestly don't know which call center i talked to, but i requested a manager two days in a row, then after the 24-48 hour time frame they can get you directly to a manager. After some wait time. Yes they are not supposed to get you a 4g phone for a 3g phone, but they just said they would honor the old trade out since i had replaced my fassy 5 times already.
[Fascinate General] ajd88:
Just got offered a early upgrade with $50 off. A year early. What to get?

Sent from my TB running sense 3.0 GB BAMF
[Fascinate General] Bob-o:
Got my inc2 today. Very very nice. Glad I switched!
[Fascinate General] Mikem74:
Was able to convince them to give me a X2. Tried for the Dinc2, no go. I called so many times, I think they just gave in. Have to go above first level tech support though.
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
i wouldnt take either of those phones and 50 bucks for the fascinate

they ll see as much development combined as we had on dh12
[Fascinate General] Shinebox:
Have to agree with this. If the upgrade doesn't include an LTE radio the development for it is already dead. Otherwise you're trading similar hardware around
[Fascinate General] ajd88:
Idk I guess it depends on whether you think the device needs dev work. The fascinate without doubt needed it. But I could see people having no problem with a stock sense UI. Also the dx2 has a dual core processor and a larger screen. So what I'm saying is if you don't care to modify your phone and you want something a little bigger and faster than why not if its free? Personally I like having the option to mod my device, but my girlfriend won't let me touch her fascinate so I told her it wouldn't be a bad idea to get something that's better out of the box.

Sent from my TB running sense 3.0 GB BAMF
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
Also getting upgraded to an LTE phone isn't even important unless you live in an area that has it. Where I live almost all of the state won't have LTE until probably 2013. We're lucky to have 3g.
[Fascinate General] syaoran12:
I would have to agree, the only hope the dinc2 has is the IS and they are close to getting the s off. But just for froyo. I am happy with getting a charge cuz 4g just came out in my area a few days ago and there is already a good cleaned up rom for it.

I am hoping that since the charge is so similar to the fascinate that cm7 is ported to it. Hardware should be the same other than the lte modem
[Fascinate General] xceebeex:
I wouldn't necessarily say that. I am willing to bet they come out with tiered data plan pricing very soon, maybe even this year. So getting a 4g phone now locks you in for unlimited data as long as you make no changes to your plan.

I am hoping the SGS2 comes out before pricing changes so I can lock in with unlimited data.
[Fascinate General] fortesquieu:
If you guys know who black man x is, he said July 7th is when VRZ start tiered data.
[Fascinate General] CHA0S.LUIS:
After 5 hours on the phone with tech support,4 different managers, 2 hours at 3 different verizon stores Im finally getting 2 droid charges without extending my contract, as soon as the SGS2 comes out I'm getting it.
[Fascinate General] Slacker101:
What did you have to say to get them to give in? Any tips?
[Fascinate General] PeterGunz:
I might give Verizon Customer Service a call tomorrow as well. I'm missing too many important calls. There's a chance gingerbread could solve this issue, and I really like this phone, so it would take something like a charge to get me to trade in my phone. And it sounds like that is highly unlikely. Dinc2 and X2 would be okay, but I would miss the rooting community a lot.

Did you guys unroot before calling in? i.e. does it matter? (I know it matters after the fact when I send it in)
[Fascinate General] armyranger172:
I did not unroot when I called......everything went fine. I did get a few really nice reps that listened to my sob story with what seemed like real concern.
[Fascinate General] Bad Bimr:
Wife's phone won't get it. Say service unavailable. Going to try the Gingerbread leak.
[Fascinate General] Kaessa:
The update borked my phone completely, but they found another Fascinate. We'll see what happens when that one gets here. They couldn't find a Fascinate at first and tried to replace it with a Droid. Ummm. No. Almost got a Droid X, but I was trying to hold out for a Incredible 2 or a Charge. No luck. :(
[Fascinate General] SciReal:
After much ado... I have gotten all fascinates on my account upgraded to Droid X2's. Three of them total.

The service ticket regarding my 3g problems has been open for almost two weeks and they still don't know what is wrong. Funny thing though, I have a much better signal with the X2!
[Fascinate General] Golgotha theskull:
They hosed ota for the fassy today I think to update you have to go in. on that note im on eclair and still missing calls new phone will be here wnesday. Didnt offer me anything but a "like new" fascinate.
[Fascinate General] SciReal:
I also has 3g that was MIA. They opened a service ticket that is open and unresolved to this day. What, like three our for weeks later?! Every rep told me that two different tech teams had no idea what the problem was. I called to talk to someone every time anything with my service was not satisfactory....EVERY TIME!!!

Finally I asked how much to break my contract and they offered a different model.

Sent from my DROID X2
[Fascinate General] PeterGunz:
I called today and asked about getting a different model phone. I love my Fascinate, but I've been missing calls and unreliable GPS have been making living in a new city really hard (moved a week ago - GPS hasn't been able to work once when needed).

I called and they said no replacement on the missed calls issue, because ED04 fixed it...so they say.

No replacement because of GPS because it is third party.....? But I bought the phone from Verizon. I'm confused and will try again tomorrow.
[Fascinate General] SciReal:
Yeah... That sounds like bull! Especially if you are using verizon location services.

ED04 didn't fix my calling issue and added a missed sms/mms problem. I ended up going through every sms my wife and I exchanged. It showed me sending texts to her and her phone not receiving them...and vice versa. Oddly enough, the network showed the message was delivered.

Sent from my DROID X2
[Fascinate General] PeterGunz:
Okay, thanks for the insight. I'm going to give it another go tomorrow. If I talk to enough people, I am hoping they will help me out. I like being on Verizon, and don't want to switch to Sprint (although I did have a fun time in their store with the Evo 3D)
[Fascinate General] Golgotha theskull:
I went in pulled out my fascinate guy says what's the account pass code. I tell him. Calls tech support and just speels out line after line of be. I've been troubleshooting it for an hour. Turns to me says dinc2 or x2 I said dinc2. I went in there to get some head phones never even told him I was having trouble, but I'm not complaining got a monster of a phone.
[Fascinate General] SciReal:
Bwahahaaaaaa! Hillarious!! That phone is obviously crap. Oh well, good for you!

Sent from my DROID X2
[Fascinate General] AlexDeGruven:
Wait... So you went to the store to buy some headphones and he automatically pushed through the replacement process without even asking if you were having issues?
[Fascinate General] Golgotha theskull:
Yeah and I was ok with it
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
I want to go to that store!
[Fascinate General] Golgotha theskull:
Look I know a lot of people are ok with the fascinate I hated it thought I was marketed towards females imo but now with my inc2 I feel like I have testicales. Still upset it shipped with gb seeing as how no root yet
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
Come on, the x2 is the real man's phone.
[Fascinate General] Golgotha theskull:
Yeah if your compensating for something.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jibninjas:
I am running MCCM's froyo/Sense SD build. When switching between home screens I get this slight bounce effect (left to right). I wanted to know if it is possible to get rid of this. I have tried to turn off all animation and use 3rd party apps like spareparts but nothing seems to work.

I really just want a fast smooth transition, I don't care for animations. Thanks for any help!

what i found is that it's possible to change the transition effect : http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-hacks/100725-how-mod-custom-transition-animations.html

but what we need to do is to find the stock android transition effect, the fade and slide one.

Hi Guys, I have been having major issues since upgrading the firmware from the Kies software as a standard firmware upgrade....

Just no wifi or bluetooth as soon as you click on the buttons it reboots sometimes several times....heres a link of whats been done so far from a guy that has been helping me on the Vodafone eforum.....

http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Sams...nger-update/m-p/761803/highlight/false#M16520

Currently running

I now have Firmware 2.3.4

Baseband I9000XXJVP

Kernel 2.6.35.7. XXJVP

Gingerbread XXJVP

I hope someone can help as I am lost without my phone because thats how I get my work...

Regards Lee
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cash_13:
Ok found this how can I put these settings on my phone.

Error initializing Wifi scan

Symptom: trying to enable wifi shows scan initialization error message.

Solution: Requires root. Remove /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf - the file contains wifi access points definitions and will be regenerated. You'll need to re-enter pin codes for known networks.

find 3 file froyo tith your csc flash it via odin with pit and pick desired csc

then flas 2.3.4 from samfirmware - any problems should be gone

[Galaxy S I9000 General] cash_13:
I have sent you the logcat txt as an email as it was far to big to send as a pm and I was unsure what parts were not needed...

The wifi is not mentioned but path to bus for bluetooth is a constant failure
