[Fascinate General] lord dredd:
This freakin issues is pissing me off since i got this VZN fascinate imported here in India ,

and its not NETWORK its just bloody FROYO and FASCINATE , somehow all froyo ROMS have got this crap issue.

i have started inumerable threads about so many ROMs and setups but this issue always keeps coming back.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that the GB roms wont have this bug..

Just to keep myself connected i have yesterday flashed back to dl09 debloated and using ed04 ( i know its full of crap this modem is , but i am giving it a shot with dl09 and so far in last 24 hours havent missed a single call.
[Fascinate General] anoninja118:
I'm on hold with VZ tech support right now, I can't stand this bug anymore.. I'm trying to find a new job so I can't afford to be missing calls

edit: they're sending me a new fascinate.. might just have to buy another phone and use my fascinate as an mp3 player :(
[Fascinate General] JaeKar99:
Trying out the EC09 (gingerbread) radio.. I may not know anything for a few days.
[Fascinate General] wardcst:
I have been having this problem every since I started using froyo

if I switch back to eclair it is gone

It is not in the radio

It has to do with the phone going in a deep sleep it will not wake up

The deep sleep is causing other issues with sms, mms, alarm not working when set all because it will not wake up

Alot of problems Same cause

The only way I have found to stop this is go to Eclair
[Fascinate General] lord dredd:
Yes indeed, ECLAiR is the only answer for this issue.

if anyone wants to install debloated rooted version of dl09 then simply ODIN this > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=911677

after that boot it up

store latest SU file in sd card and this debloated ROM (only ROM and nothing else ) from adryn >>

http://adrynalyne.us/files/roms/DL09_2.zip

and then again shutdown and ODIN CWM and without booting install SU first via recovery

boot up

shutdown

reboot into recoveryand flash the alreday stored adreyn's debloated version.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
My wife has always been on DL09 and still experiences it... Which is why I keep saying it isn't a froyo issue
[Fascinate General] wardcst:
You are probly right

It just got way worse with froyo
[Fascinate General] wardcst:
Is it doing this on the GB Leak
[Fascinate General] sfobrien:
Been using it for couple days. Nothing new to report, went back to ED03. If we could just get the stability of GB 3G signal I would be a very happy camper.
[Fascinate General] prehistorical:
+1 for the EA28 modem, at least for my phone in a VZW marginal reception area where 1x reigns supreme. Easy to get the missed calls, by attempting calls during bootup, sleep-wake, busy with GPS/aGPS, etc.

In my particular case, ED04 made things worse. EC09 was much much better. EA28 had the least missed calls as far as I can tell (n=1). YMMV.

Deep Sleep Missed Calls

Download softlocker from market. Keeps the phone from going into deep sleep and helps out with the missed calls issue. It is mostly for tablets but will also work for android phones.
[Fascinate General] prehistorical:
Thanks!

After reading about this app on the CM7 thread, I decided to give it a go. So far, so good... too early to tell, but testing seems to be positive. Trade off will be battery life, but a small price to pay during the waking hours.

https://market.android.com/details?id=otis8.softlocker
[Fascinate General] lord dredd:
Yes it will work good with this deep sleep issue ,

but as i am a freak when it comes to battery life , i just cant do that trade off LOL :P

i searched in vain on XDA to find the most stable dl09 superclean ROM , today found it somewhere else and installed with stocked dl09 ROM and ed04 radio , and damn its snappier than my earlier ed01 debloated setup.

i have been using dl09 since last 3 days and there has been 0 events of missed calls during deep sleep :)
[Fascinate General] raj7065:
Can you post link to the rom DL09 rom that you are using. I will check it out. But softlocker is working good for missed call issue for people who want to stick with their current rom.
[Fascinate General] lord dredd:
I have alreday explained this here

if you want superclean DL09 then you can go onto install this :

http://adrynalyne.us/files/roms/DL09_supah_clean_04.zip

instead of debloated dl09 that i mentioned above .

would rate it way better and hard to find ;)

procedure is just the same .
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
I still maintain it isn't an Eclair vs. a Froyo issue, since my wife's fascinate is still on Eclair and has the issue
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
I'm not sure whether it works around the issue or not... but WOW! Softlocker sure slaughters my battery! Usually I'd be at well above 60% battery by now, but with fairly light usage I'm already down to 31%! I wonder if the sleep issue in CM7/AOSP is related... I hope that the issue in CM7 can be fixed, so I can switch over to a far better rom!
[Fascinate General] prehistorical:
Oy!

Well, with over just a day of finicky testing and observation with Softlocker:

1. Uses battery quite a tad; and

2. I still get missed calls... perhaps not as much, but with a observation size of 1 it is hard to really tell.

Therefore, not the magic bullet even with increased battery usage. Fair to state that the app itself is not consuming that much power; it just doesn't let the Fascinate snooze... but a bad radio with a bad antenna yada yada. :eek:
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
If it doesn't actually solve the issue, then I'd say it's totally not worth it. With zero use since my last post, my phone just beeped saying it was down to 15% power! 16% battery use in 2 hours, or 8/hour is quite horrible! I'll take a chance to miss calls over a guarantee of missed calls when the battery dies!

(I'm also in an area with good signal, so it's idle battery use should be fairly minimal)
[Fascinate General] lord dredd:
well Kevin really , i havent noticed a single complaint about this issue with eclair anywhere aprt from you .

kinna strange mate , may be you should just ask wife to odin the stock DL09 once more and then do the *228 again

I am on eclair from past 3 days and there has been no incidence whatsoever of the deep sleep missed calls.

and its unfortunate that softlocker aint the solution , I really wish that Proper GB would fix this crap once in for all otherwise I am gonna talk to the devs here and might even pay them to make a Eclair based rom with all latest tweaks and stuff

:)

No DISRESPECT was intended against anyone

and some extra respects to landshark68 - nice teeth you got there ;)
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
Alright, ask anybody here or read through all my previous posts to see I don't ever cal anyone names or stoop to any level of arguing with anybody. And I really don't like it when this term is thrown around here. But with this post you got my blood boiling when you describe Kevin's wife as wifey. You can have a difference of opinion with the man about whether or not this problem happens on Eclair or not, but to refer to his wife like that is downright disrespectful. Perhaps where you are in India that is an acceptable term, but not here. And you have been on DL09 for a whole three days now and you can definitively say you haven't had any missed calls during that time? Hell I give a new kernel longer than that to actually judge whether or not it is working well. Come back in a month or two and then you can brag to us how you haven't had a missed call on DL09. Maybe you just haven't met face to face with anyone yet who has tried to call you and you haven't received the call. Oh and let me just remind you of one little thing that is probably also affecting your reception - YOU ARE USING A PHONE MEANT FOR USE IN THE U.S. ON A U.S. CARRIER NETWORK WHILE YOU ARE IN INDIA AND YOU ARE EXPECTING ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS SERVICE WITH THE BEST BATTERY LIFE IN THE WORLD. Kevin is a great guy who is respected and contributes by providing informative, insightful help in several forums. He knows what he's doing and knows what he's talking about.

Oh and good luck in paying the devs to make a special ROM just for you based on a build none of them are currently using and probably don't have a desire to work with. You never know, but they are always looking to work with the next thing and move forward, not backward.

Landshark out.
[Fascinate General] lord dredd:
Well Dear landshark68 :

If you can read the whole reply then you can very very clearly make out that i didnt use any foul or disrespectful language targetted at anyone, i have always been with regards to all , if that particular reference feels disrespectful to Kevin then my apologies to him but i ddint mean no DISRESPECT whatsoever. ( correcting the earlier reply )

and again if you are bringing respect in here then you should not mention people's nationalities like this and start judging them with the utterance of a word , certainly didnt expect from a RESPECTED and helpful guy like you , but then you never know

about my contributions : dear every one starts from somewhere , once a person gets some know how then only he can contribute , you think you started to contribute since day one on this forum, come on , dont take things to that line, I alawys ask for the specialist opinion about my issues with total RESPECT, isn't that the first step on a community,

But it clearly shows that you have serious reservations about things , all the best with them mate .

And most certainly i ll keep the 1 month suggestion in my mind as it comes from a specialist guy .

I could also elaborate over other issues like dev working on outdated stuff and all, but that i ll do with the devs themselves not with you.

to sum it all , again My SINCERE APOLOGIES to Mr Kevin , I am sorry if i hurt you.

Big respects to you for being a great help over here, there is no denying.

But pl dont judge people on such grounds.

God bless

O and yes , I am editing my reply as well out of my respect.
[Fascinate General] lammers42:
Are you sure that the phone was in deep sleep? I've read that to test the missed call in deep sleep issue that you have to let the phone sit for at least an hour before trying to call the phone.

I have not had missed calls while using Softlocker . . . yes it makes my battery life take a piss, but that's why I carry a charger and cable with me.

I am using CM7 fascinatemtd TB5
[Fascinate General] lord dredd:
yes actually people have been compalining about this off and on to me that they called me and i didnt pickup,

i am in the habit of calling back to all the numbers that i see i missed.

actually when i am in my consultation sessions at the clinic i generally dont pick up my phone so it can go idle for hours at a stretch sometimes during day.

But as the good guys here have been telling that this issue is not restricted to any particualr ROM or release , i need to figure out how superclean dl09 fares which i am using now

btw a friend just linked me to this , i donno it seemed too much to me ( personally i didnt try this at all ) but then this thing worked for this guy :P who knows

http://support.newagepcs.com/showthread.php?8059-Fascinate-Sleep-of-Death

he has linked the download links as well so shouldnt be a issue if someone wants to try this out.

again i havent tried it

[Fascinate General] landshark68:
Sir,

You made a good, valid point about the name calling. That should never have made it into the post. I didn't mention India in my rant as any inclination toward nationality, just to point out you are using a phone somewhere other than where it was intended to be used. I too edited my previous post and removed the inappropriate name and some of the harsh, childish language. Just need to remember that words you would use on an everyday basis may not be taken the same way here and vice versa. Teeth removed. They tend to come out when being overprotective in defending a perceived slight against a friend.
[Fascinate General] lord dredd:
PEACE

lets move on and not take the thread out of context
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
Peace and God bless
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Let me throw in my two cents as well...

No disrespect meant to anyone, and none taken on my part. Thanks, Landshark, for stepping in, though. I appreciate it.

Back to the topic on hand. Two reasons why I suspect Froyo isnt the main culprit here. One, we have already talked about: DL09 on my wife's phone experiences the issue. Two, I never experienced this bug on any of the earlier 2.2 builds... So it is possible, yes, that one of the more recent builds is the cause of all of this, but that doesn't explain my wife's issue. Add on top of that, I know other people on VZW that have this same bug, but are on completely different phones. So I also don't necessarily think it is strictly a Fascinate issue. Then again, that doesn't explain your experience, dredd, being in a different country and using a different network.

So can we agree that it is entirely possible that several factors are at play here: software, hardware, and network. We may honestly never get this sorted out, but here's hoping we do
[Fascinate General] lord dredd:
I was abt to go to bed actually, but thought of having a look at my mails one last time when saw your post.

First of all thanks.

And I must confess you have thrown the cat among the pigeons now, it really seems there are far too many variables involved here, but one thing is sure that the issue is way too bad with fascinate.

The Guy who imported the handset for me and set it up is kind of a specialist and knowing me ( that I ll keep on tweaking the setup of the phone) he had strongly suggested me to be on dl09 based setup no matter what. He told me that he used eclair himself for like 3 months and didn't face any issue.

Now it seems the roots are actually deeper than I was thinking. Lets hope gb fixes it.

BTW what do u think of that link that I mrntioed above.

Thanks mate
[Fascinate General] NOsquid:
I actually switched back from CM7 yesterday after missing calls/phantom ringing despite using Softlocker. Then today on a TW ROM my friend tried to call 3 times and my phone never rang or registered a missed call. I guess I was one step ahead with CM7 because the phantom ring would at least alert me that something was up.

DAMN YOU VERIZON/SAMSUNG!! I can't even blame my friends' iPhones anymore.
[Fascinate General] .Ejekt:
Went back to stock DL09 earlier today and have been OTAing throughout the day, trying calls on each build. Up through ED04 I've been missing calls. Decided to call Verizon and I talked to several people who claimed that Verizon WAS aware of this problem (past tense?) and that it persisted for a week (again, question mark...) until an update was sent out OTA and now the problem has been fixed (uh huh). So, does anyone have official information on when we're being saved? My call today was a bit unsettling.

Thanks,

EJ
[Fascinate General] wardcst:
I have been having the missed calls for two months

and I can assure you ED04 did not help but made it even worse
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
Ditto. My missed calls predate ed04. I don't think it's necessarily a froyo/eclair thing so much as a 3g/4g thing. My real issues began when 4g began rolling out in MI.
[Fascinate General] prehistorical:
Agreed!

Between the missing calls discussion threads and the best radio/modem threads and the GPS fix/cannot lock threads, it's hard to figure out what's really going on. :)

For missed calls issue (real missed calls, where you only find out you missed the call because they left a VM, or they called again and complained, or you were testing the phone with your landline over and over) -- could this be related to the bad design/antenna/etc which makes things worse over poor signal strength and a congested market/metropolitan area?

About Phone --> Status --> Signal Strength

I am now on fully stock ED04 and I am still missing calls... without CM7 or any other ROM, kernel, mods, radio, or even root/su to blame.

Hard to really compare unless we try to level these other parameters, right?

Signal Strength (at the time of test/missed call)

ROM

Kernel

Modem/Radio

Rooted or Not

VZW or not

US or not

OS level / version

etc.

I took the XDA community's advice and called VZW tech. I am already on my 2nd trade (just returned), going on 3rd trade (arriving soon). Maybe I'm just ending up with old phones from XDA readers. :D

Peace!

[LG Optimus 2x] vetle666:
Hi! I've been reading this forum for a while, but have not been in need for help before now. I really hope someone can help me find the solution! :)

Well. Ive been trying to install a custom rom, but when i wipe/factory resets (all the different wipe options), installs a rom and boots the phone, all my files are still there! Not only settings etc, but pictures and music! At first i was just ignoring it, but now i have these reboots like every half hour!

When i try to wipe the dalvik cache i get an error message saying that e: unknown volume on path (or something like that).

Ive tried many different roms but now ive tried to restore to the original rom to see if the problems disappears. I would still love running a custom rom so help is needed anyways! :o

Oh, also: I just read that some have experienced reboots due to the wall charger!? I've been using a not original usb cable i orderer from ebay. Maybe the problem is due to this? Its thinner and charges verry slow (40% in 8 hours). I have finally located my original usb cable so i will use that one now.

Still need help with the wipe/factory reset issue.

Thank you!

Vetle
[LG Optimus 2x] stevvie:
Your pictures and music should still be there after a wipe/factory reset. As they are stored on the internal storage memory called the 'internal SD card' that should not be wiped when you select wipe or factory reset. And if the files you are referring to are also on the internal SD card then that also explains that. Also when wiping the dalvik cache everybody else also gets that error, but it does wipe the cache and then it gets rebuilt when you next reboot the device. I charge my device in 2 ways that have proved good to me. 1. on a home made USB dock with the original cable (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1091687) 2, with the LG charger and a cheap 1.8meter cable from ebay. If I swap the original cable around then I get weird non responsive screen and areas that are not recognized when I touch the screen. So yes try different combinations of charger/cables.
[LG Optimus 2x] vetle666:
Oh, thank you for clearing up that misunderstanding! :o .

But it still does not give me an answer for all my troubles with the custom roms! :(

Anyways, im hoping that changing the charger cable will do the trick.

EDIT: Yep, i will try with the original charger :). And oh, your dock looks greate! Too bad i live faaar away from nearest Poundland store (norway). You dont happend to have seen something like the items you used, on the internet? Preferably in the same price range? :)
[HTC EVO 3D] o0adam0o:
I went to the Sprint store today and asked about the buyback program and my Evo 4G. She just asked for my phone number and started typing.. then asked if i pre-ordered the Evo 3D.. i said yes. She kept typing then told me to just come in 2morrow when i pick up the Evo 3D and tell them i want to recycle my phone and i will get $150. She didnt even look at my beat up (but working) Evo 4G.

Im not sure if she put a note on my account or what but she sounded so certain that i bring it in and get my $150 credit. Anyone know for sure?

I hope i get her when i get my Evo 3D tomorrow.. im doubtfull it will be that easy and that they are giving $150 for any working Evo... if so.. winning!
[HTC EVO 3D] evolushungolf:
Sprint will give 150 for the EVO and 115 for the EVO Shift...I know-I work for Sprint. They always offer this as well for those that did not know. Also, you can trade up to three phones to really drive that out of pocket cost down.
[HTC EVO 3D] rokkett:
I am pretty sure if your EVO is not majorly damaged, i.e broken glass, and it turns on, you will get $150 dollars credit on your account for trading it in. EVO 3D for $50 with full upgrade credit. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] o0adam0o:
I guess ill find out tomorrow hehe Thanks for the help.
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
I wasn't gonna do that...I was gonna sell my evo 4g and accessories on craigslist but I have been reconsidering it....sell the evo to sprint for the 150 and the accessories for 50.

I have an otterbox commuter, HDMI cable, spare batteries, and a stand alone battery charger.

Think all of that is worth 50 bux?
[HTC EVO 3D] tekmaven:
Do they care about sending in the battery? I have two Evos (one upgraded to a 3D) and it would be great to keep the battery as a spare.
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
Hmm. So I could get something for my Hero? I was thinking of selling it on craigslist, but I'm not sure the demand for a used Hero...
[HTC EVO 3D] balistc:
The site said $40 for the Hero.
[HTC EVO 3D] birdpwr:
So wait... if I get the phone thru Sprint, they will buy back my EVO 4G @ $150? Did I need to be a part of a buy-back program like Best Buy? I just pre-ordered with BB!
[HTC EVO 3D] balistc:
Nope......
[HTC EVO 3D] birdpwr:
Nope to the buy back question? Or nope to Sprint buying my phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
This probably isn't the place for me to ask, but do you think I could get more than that on craigslist? I see Hero's there for ~$100, but who knows if they're scams/spam.
[HTC EVO 3D] balistc:
Sprint will buy back the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] m3latino:
I took my rooted evo to my local sprint store yestetday and got $150 added to my account on the spot. With my $70 loyalty credit I got my 3d for only a couple of bucks.

They let me keep my sd card and charger.

Easier for me to do instead of selling it.

Sent from my Evo 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] evolushungolf:
Sprint will buy back the phones but not the accessories. If you turn in an EVO and a hero the 3d costs you ten bucks. If you want to try and get fifty for a hero on Craigslist you will be waiting a while.
[HTC EVO 3D] Razgriz:
Hell, I can't even get my Evo sold on CL right now for $200. Kinda sad.
[HTC EVO 3D] Itchiee:
Where I am CL is saturated with them. Over 18 were posted for sale today alone.

I know you leave some money on the table, but the Sprint deal isn't so bad, and with alot less headache and waiting. I was going to go this root but I'm not as excited about the 3D as much anymore so I'm going to keep my Evo.
