Hey JP, how much trouble would it be to make similar odin files for ed01/ed04 radios? Switching to ec09 was nice and easy but if I wish to go back to ed04 it is a little more involved.............unless I'm missing something.
[Fascinate Android Development] prehistorical:
There has been some discussion here and there about using Softlocker (same one recommended for CM7 and also for the NookColor) to prevent the phone from going into deep sleep, at the expense of battery drain.

I didn't have too much luck with it even with other modems. VM notification seems to tbe the only way I know I missed calls, if a VM was left. takes about 10 secs to ding.

Open to other recommendations. I was hoping that GB would make things better, like it did for my NC.
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
Getting the ED04 modem is the $500 question (literally, there was a thread with a $500 reward). So... if I could do it, then I would have already made $500. Basically, I can't extract the ED04 modem because it isn't stored in bml12 like other SGS phones. I tried and failed via that method. The only way we can get modems is if they are leaks. OTAs like ED04 = no modem ODIN for us. Leaks like EB01 and EC09 are much easier to get the modem from as we have the entire system in a .tar file.
[Fascinate Android Development] sfobrien:
Been using it for several days now and it does work better than others I've tried. At first I didn't see alot of difference than ED01 I was using but over last couple days it seems to have settled in (if thats possible) and I'm going to keep it until something better comes along.
[Fascinate Android Development] bswright:
Came from eb01 on comrom 2.1.

Here are my 3G speed test esults:

Ping: 108

DL: 754

UL:217

I can't complain. Plus i got a 1599 quadrant score. Running pbj -50 voodoo. I haven't changed any of the voltage or cpu settings. I think i lucked into it. Smooth and slick as warm butter.

Moved back to the old EC01 leak this morning. TWS on ec09 was 50+% as opposed to 25% on ec01. Still not great, but I am in a noisy computer lab in the depths of a large, old office bldg, so...
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
moved back to ED04

Been having the missed calls problem...I don't remember having this problem on ED04...so I flashed back to DL09 to ED04...definitely got slightly better signal on EC09..and definitely faster download and upload speeds (fastest I've seen yet)..but reverted back to see if it fixes the missed calls thing...will take a day or two to see.

Well..been a few days..no sign of the missed call problem on ED04...shame...liked the performance of EC09, but I can't stand for the missed calls..can't for sure blame this issue on a modem, some say it has to do with deep sleep..I am just posting my experience so far...org on ED04 with no problems...flashed EC09, had missed call problem, the only thing I then changed was to flash back to ED04(Odin DL09, flash ED04 delta method from that post)...and no problems...maybe it does have something to with the modem after all..hope it gets resolved soon...for now ED04 is a winner for now..
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
well i have flashed this modem twice in last one week,

both the times i was on rooted debloated debinged deodexed ed01 with PBJ sv kernal, and unfortunately it made my situation worse :P ( first time used it for 24 hours and the second time around two days )

i mean the Time without signal on both occasions shot upto 60 to 70 % :P

and missed call issue was very very very bad .. ( more pronounced when i was on the move in my car )

also didn't notice any improvement in DL or UL speeds at all , actually they were slowest .

TBH i am myself surprised that everyone out there is experiencing better results in more respects than one , barring me.

Lets hope the proper GB release fixes the deep sleep and missed call issues

rest i guess we at XDA will manage :) ( of course the devs )

regards
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
As I mentioned in previous post, I have been experiencing that missed call problem. I agree, it was the worst yet on EC09. I was on EC01 for quite sometime and only had that problem may be once a week. EC09 was every few hours.

In-between using EC01 and EC09, I was on ED04. I don't recall having any problems while on ED04, so I Odin EC09 in good faith...results..slightly better performance, but plenty of missed calls.

I reverted back to ED04(Odin DL09, flash update to ED04 method)...haven't had a single missed call problem no matter how long the phone is in deep sleep. (I also have the 100mhz step disabled in cwr).

Just checked.. Time on: 1d 22h 23m 15s.....Time without signal: 0%...Battery at: 72%...(I have 3000mah battery)

I am currently running Com Rom 2.0, PBJ SV ver. 0531 voodoo kernel, ED04 modem, and SteelBlue v2.75 theme, with no problems.

May I suggest you try my setup? See if that solves your problems...
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
sure ED04 has been indeed good, in general.

i am in the middle of a routine itch of flashing something new :P

gonna follow your advise now :)

just wanted to tell you somehow the yellow recovery that comes into effect with imnut's kernel has a issue erasing android secure while erasing data.

but still gonna go ahead , might flash red recovery later .

thanks will update you via PM may be.

regards

EDIT : finished doing what you suggested,

theme , the link is dead , so gonna do without the theme ,

will update for sure.

regards
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
I ran into that problem of android.secure...it completes..just needs battery pull...flashing a different recovery is easy enough..

About the theme..Guess he deleted v. 2.75..since its actually old..v3.1 is for the new com rom 2.1 update...I haven't felt like updating to 2.1 since I'm running good for now. I'm not planning on flashing any new rom's till a Com Rom Gingerbread one comes out...

Anyway, I don't think the theme would affect much of anything...then again, it does modify the framework stuff...I have the SteelBlue v. 2.75 zip somewhere..I can put it on dropbox in a few hours..

And of course...do a full data wipe, cache/davlink...the works....to ensure a clean slate...once flash rom..then do the modem update thing..

EDIT: Just in case anyone wants it, here is link to thread to update to ED04 modem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1097355

You only need 2 files....Download the Odin DL09 file, then the DL09 to ED04 cwm file.

SteelBlue theme v2.75(File says 3.0, buts its for Com Rom 2.0, NOT for 2.1): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21976551/[ComRom2.0]GoS_SteelBlue_3.0_W_TW4.zip
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
Thanks a lot mate !!!

done everything , havnt missed anything in last 6 hrs , but then its a very small duration.

but the battery drain is very fast even when the phone is idle :P

will update soon.

( might change the theme, its not my type)

god bless

Battery Calibration

It takes a few charging cycles to calibrate battery...Here is what I did.

Charge phone to full.

Power off phone.

Charge to full while powered off.

Boot to recovery...wipe Battery Stats.

Reboot

Now the calibration process..

Use phone till 0 battery...

Charge phone to full..

Power off..

Charge to full while powered off..

Power on...

Repeat this paragraph 2 more times

This has given me great battery life..But if you can't do the full process, the battery will calibrate on its own over time...doing this process fully and exactly, ensures maximum calibration fairly quickly...

Hope this helps..

BTW: To each his own when it comes to themes..I can't stand the stock touchwiz theme..the dark style is my pick...anyway, just be sure to flash a theme meant for the version rom you are on...a theme meant for com rom 2.1 or 1.3 will give you problems if you flash it on Com Rom 2.0...also, theme has to be for ED01...Sure you know all that already...but good idea for me to mention it for anyone else that might need the info...I made the mistake of flashing an old theme once...force closes galore...same thing when I flashed a newer theme to older rom...Live and learn..

Good Luck..

In an effort to track down the EC09 sd card bug so people won't be scared off from flashing TSM's upcoming GB ROM, I've posted a survey thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150575 The more responses I get in the poll I posted (from people who've tried the complete EC09 ROM or Nameless or TechnoROM), the closer we can get to finding, isolating and fixing this bug.

Suddenly missing calls

Ok..this is odd..have had no missed calls while on ED04...till the last 2 hours...seems to happen almost immediately after screen turns off..rebooted and it did it again with in a few minutes..maybe its a network issue??? ...the woes of custom roms...anyone on pure stock have experienced this problem?
[Fascinate Android Development] prehistorical:
hey s. cheetah -- enjoy your posts. i have been on the longest stretch of stock unrooted ED04 as i go through dance of the the replacement devices... yes definitely having missing calls with ED04. as a baseline, what is your signal strength where you're noticing the most missed calls? not counting missed calls where signal strength has been -95 db + or during rush hour/congestion periods, it does still happen on pure stock ED04.

when testing vzw stock fascinate right next to vzw iphone 4, i've had repeated landline calls to iphone go through and fail with the ascinate.

hope this helps -- even if sad info. :(
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
Thanks a bunch mate, all this gonna be certainly helpful.

but really as you mentioned in the post above i also started facing the missed call issue almost immediately after my last post :(

i am going to PM you now regarding all that.

But you have been awesome mate .

regards and thankies

EDit : sent you 2 messages .
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Haven't had any more problems sine my phone went crazy yesterday...very strange..

I know my signal strength bounces from 1 bar to 3 bars a lot at my house..Don't notice any change when I notice missed calls...I test it by trying to call out..it just hangs at dialing...also can try calling it...goes to voice-mail...only reboot fixes it..occasionally, setting airplane mode on then off works.

I check the time without signal frequently and it has only ever said 0. Currently, signal is moving from -77dBm to -88dBm. If it disconnects and I start having missed call problems, I will hopefully remember to check that.

I did notice when I suddenly got the missed calls problem that the time on was 4 days and several hours...maybe that has something to do with it...
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Phones is sitting on same spot as it was yesterday when it went nuts..Currently sitting at -74 dBm...will check if start missing calls...

I can't remember...the lower the number is, the better right? So -74 dBm means stronger signal than -88dBm right? Or do I have it backwards?
[Fascinate Android Development] chopper the dog:
Lower is better. If you are using tsm parts to display dbm in taskbar then that is the 3g/data signal strength. The voice signal strength is displayed under about/status.

good day. using xda premium.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Thanks...I was reading that from About/Status...good to know:)
[Fascinate Android Development] dr_w:
If this works with a FROYO rom, in what sequence do I flash to ODIN? Install COMROM first then do the flash or the other way around? Thank you.
[Fascinate Android Development] ezas:
That battery calibration routine is way more complex than it needs to be.

Charge battery to full - wipe stats

Unplug and discharge to single digit percentage

Charge to full

Do steps uninterrupted. If it makes you feel better discharge battery before initial charge to full.

Then use phone as normal. Over the next few charge cycles capacity will increase somewhat.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
I have found that it doesn't fully charge the battery while powered on unless its fully calibrated..I have charged till it says full ..then turn off, plug it in and the battery gauge that comes up shows almost a full charge, but not quite...charges for about an hour till full...

I have a 3000mah battery, before I did my calibration steps..the phone read the battery as 2730mah...after, it read the full 3000mah. If I recall, when batt stats are wiped, it wipes the file that tells the os at which mah the battery is full and to stop charging or switch to trickle charge...

It may be a bit overkill...but it worked for me... to get just a little more run time...

Btw...forgot to mention...don't connect usb data cable from phone to computer(to access sd card or whatever) during the calibration process, as this starts to charge the phone. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
I like the iphone hardware...but hate the software os...I had an ipod touch a year or so ago...I can't stand everything through itunes...Android is much better and customizable os...It is possible to "modify" iphone by jailbreak or whatever...but still not as good as android...

I haven't looked into it much..but I don't think there are nearly as many options to flash custom roms to iphone as there are here for android...

And of course, I still can't understand Apple for supporting flash on their computers, but not on mobiles...

Ok..done ranting now...:rolleyes:
[Fascinate Android Development] Wacky2bakky:
My main question here is, would this radio work with the evil fascination 3.6 rom?
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Modems are rom independent...they should work on any rom...
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
Not completely, some modems will function better on some ROMs. For example, it is being recommended on irc to use EC09 with CM7. Otherwise, people are seeing various modem related issues. For the most part though, modems work on most ROMs, but there are exceptions to everything.
[Fascinate Android Development] hesh.monster:
I have yet to successfully Odin ANY modem while on cm7... maybe it hates me lol.

Anyway, i am actually seeing pretty solid results with the EB01 modem. This is the first time since I got my fascinate in January that I have been able to hold a WiFi connection FWIW.

That is odd. Can you ODIN other things fine?
[Fascinate Android Development] prehistorical:
+1 what chopper sez rulez, less - dBm is better! The L2 VZW tech I spoke to yesterday said something to the effect that anything lower than 80 dBm is considered "good coverage". That being said, I've experienced the missed calls even in areas with strong signal, stock or rooted. Glad to hear your phone is behaving again!

PS. Don't like the iPhone UI or App$ $tore either, but need a phone that doesn't miss these many calls... hoping to get a fixed unit of some sort at the next device swap. Maybe I'll get an old Droid X. :p
[Fascinate Android Development] prehistorical:
I used EC09 on an older version of EF (last one that had a nv version) and it worked much better than my current ED04 setup.
[Fascinate Android Development] dr_w:
WHAT Sequence

Do I flash this over my already running comrom? Or do I have to wipe or do I have to load froyo and then flash or ???...

Thanks for anyones advice, because I'm still losing 3G. Its intermittent and I don't like it.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
U can Odin a modem while on any rom...you don't need to wipe data...if you flash a rom that includes a modem then it will install that modem, one that doesn't include modem will use currently installed modem.

If you are flashing a newer rom than what you are currently running, then I say it would be best to flash that first(with data wipe etc), then the modem. Clean install.
[Fascinate Android Development] hesh.monster:
The only other thing I have ODINed is the EB01 stock files with the Atlas pit and that works fine. When I try the modem it fails almost immediately and the phone remains frozen in download mode. Following that when I try to boot the phone( unplugged, battery back in) i get a phone/ computer screen icon and that's all. The only way it will boot is if it is connected to the pc, then it boots up normal and is fine until power down or reboot.

I've downloaded numerous times with the same results. When I flashed it while stock( right before going to cm7) it was fine until first boot on cm, then I had a broken radio. No calls or data.

Frustrating but not the end of the world.

Anyone here on mini trust went from ED04 to EC09? Right now in the philly area ed04 works great and I'm just slightly hesitant to jump to a radio with an older build date is there isn't really any increased gb compatibility
[Fascinate Android Development] hesh.monster:
yeah that is the version i am using. i'm not really sure what to say, I have had more problems with this than any rom i have ever flashed. I get more failed flashes than successful ones on modems, kernels, hell the rom it self. i may have to just cut my losses and go back to comrom for now. :confused: :(
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
You shouldn't use the EC09 ROM as it is a SD monster, but the radio is considered to be good. Some people on the irc say that EC09 should be used with CM7.

I have had 2 or 3 failed flashes:

One was due to me messing up the checksum on the ODIN package

One was the DI01 package, and it just froze at modem. I unplugged phone, restarted ODIN, and reflashed without an issue.

My advice to you is to flash back to stock (DI01, DL09, or EB01), and try flashing ComRom or CM7. Then try flashing this modem. I've never heard of anyone having issues like what you are having. You may want to double check all your md5 checksums too (.zip, .tar, .tar.md5, etc.)
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Well....went to make call and it wouldn't dial out...I made a call at 2:29PM CST...phone sat and its now 6:31pm...odd that I start having this problem now, cause I didn't for the last few weeks...signal reading in About/Status is -75 dBm..
[Fascinate Android Development] dr_w:
Still intermittent 3G

I've wiped, installed COMROM 2.0 then 2.1 then Odin'd this modem. I still have 3g issues. Not only does my 3G cut out but I don't get any graceful degradation to 1ex or whatever its called. Its either 3G or nothing. Most of the time its nothing. Anyone else having this experience? This is so frustrating. When I want the 3G it isn't there. Should I try the ED04? I'm in Mountain View California where the 3G should be blazing fast. Thanks for any info.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Their was a reported problem where 3g would drop and lock to 1x..it was a big thing when the Froyo OTA update hit....an ESN swap usually fixes this problem...

Activate an old phone to replace the fascinate, then re-activate the fascinate...it can be done online...or you can call Verizon and they might do it...else they may send you a refurbished phone...

There are threads on this matter:

[Fascinate Android Development] dr_w:
I don't have an old phone. I called Verizon and told them to do an ESN swap and they gave me the -dog who had his food changed- look. Said it was impossible to swap an ESN because it was tied to the specific phone. Thanks for the input regardless.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
You are changing the device registered to your account.. .not the actual ESN of the phone...swapping phones on your account changes the ESN registered to your account , re-activating it resets it in Verizon's database...

You have to talk to level 2 support(or whatever they call it)..but it all depends on who you get...most of the time they screw you over...tell them you have read on-line and have a legit/documented problem and insist they do an ESN swap(also called a DMU reset)...They DO have the capability of activating a dummy or test device to your account, then re-activating your phone..I know..because I had this done!!!...took about 6 different calls to tec support till I finally got someone to admit to it and to do it and guess what? It worked!...had no more problems..

If getting Verizon to help you won't work, then the only other options I see are:

Find an old Verizon phone for dirt cheap or ask a friend or something for one...

Complain to Verizon enough that the phone you have is defective and have it replaced...a replacement phone(even same model) will have a different ESN.

You can try to de-activate the phone you have..wait an hour or two...then re-activate it..that may work...

This story plays out many times in the threads I mentioned in previous post..

Hope things work out..

EDIT: Be ware!! As of July 7, Verizon has changed to tiered data plans...if call Verizon to do an ESN swap or DMU reset, you will lose your unlimited data plan, as this process removes the smartphone from the line. Also, if you activate a standard or feature phone temporarily, then re-activate your smartphone, you will also loose the unlimited data and be stuck paying $30 for 2gb. You have to use another smartphone ESN to do the swap...basically a smartphone always has to be on your line in order to keep your unlimited plan. Call Verizon if you have any question or concerns about how to keep your unlimited data.
[Fascinate Android Development] dr_w:
Dude...thank you so much. Calling Verizon now. Does it matter to them that I'm running COMROM?
[Fascinate Android Development] rand4ll:
No need to tell them about running custom roms...

In fact, I wouldn't at all as I'm sure it voids your warranty in many ways...
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Definitely don't tell them you are running a custom flashed rom...flashing roms voids the warranty...As soon as they find out you aren't stock...they blame your problems on you for modifying the phone and say they can't help you..

You can easily return to full stock by flashing the appropriate Odin packaged rom...they will never know...:D
[Fascinate Android Development] dr_w:
On the phone with them right now...they are doing the dummy esn bit. All while I'm on the phone with them.

MOre to follow.
[Fascinate Android Development] hesh.monster:
I have done all the above and still having issues. When I went back to comrom I lost my touch screen...how the hell does that work? Flashed back to stock EB01 now, just gonna stay here. Maybe I'll play the replacement game and start fresh, I don't know.

Too much ODIN I think...I've gotten a lot of artifacts from previous flashes popping up, like ODIN isn't fully wiping and repartitioning. I hate this phone now lol...stock crap
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
There is a way of doing a complete wipe or an actual clean install...more so than just Odin a .tar file...It has something to do with a PIT file or something I think?? Can't remember where I read about it...ask the devs..they would know..
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Assuming you are calling them from a different phone like a land line...:rolleyes:

Anyway...if it dosn't fix your troubles..either the area you are in has bad signal coverage(which I doubt)...or its the phone it self..defective..
