[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slic|<:
Haha I get better luck with females but males aren't that bad either though payment related issues and getting credits 100% females :D.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SOTK:
I just got off the phone with Tech Support. He annotated my account to reflect I'm eligible for a new phone. Thinking about going into the store tomorrow to get the Charge. Important question: Do I need to wipe my Fascinate and go back to complete stock? Do they care? This will be the first time returning an Android phone for me. Thanks.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bardasian:
I'd be safe and Odin back to stock.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slic|<:
I did Google it, it was just confusing due to many articles saying a couple different things. But I did see one stating the three different names for each individual carrier for the sgs2. Also apparently the Samsung R is coming in UK? Never even heard of it but it seems the same as the sgs2 with a lack of an super amoled plus screen and an addition of better quality build instead of the finicky plastic used on these phones..
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedingcheetah:
Well, I had my Fascinate replaced earlier this week cause the data connection died...been running good for the last couple days...till now, can't call out, and phone goes to voice-mail...reboot, 7 text messages and 3 voice-mails show up...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tk1o48:
I went into the store to get the charge as it was notated on my account by a tier 2 tech. i was first asked for my fascinate by a sales rep, who had called a technician because he could not believe the note. when i said i didnt have it on me, they stated that i needed to bring in my fascinate for further testing and troubleshoot before they could order me one. i opted out for the inc2 just because they said i could have that delivered to me the soonest and all i would have to do is mail back the fascinate.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jselden:
I found an article on forums.vzw.com that had the article number for verizon employees about this issue and the replacement. When my wife called she had received a hard time and they said they could send a replacement, but then she mentioned the article number. The rep put her on hold for a few minutes and then the rep came back on and offered her a new phone with no futher questions.

Unfortunately when she went to the store they said they were out of the droid charge.(However i was able to get one) So she is calling every day until they have one in stock and will have one ordered for her.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedingcheetah:
Has it even been determined what is causing the missed call problem? Software or hardware?...

In the Dev section, their has been banter back and forth about it being a modem problem and/or Deep sleep problem...like the phone disconnects from the cell network at some random times intermittently...I have had mine sit for several hours in deep sleep and still work fine..even left for 2days and still worked fine..but once I made a call...drove 20 minutes home, then tried to make a call and it was disconnected, had to reboot then got voice-mail message reminding me to get milk...oopps!:eek:..knew I was forgetting something:p..

If Verizon says they will push and update to the phones to fix this problem, then it sounds like a software bug...but shouldn't the devs here on XDA who make the custom roms discover the bug and fix it...or at least have some handle on it...There is no sign of a fix for this problem in the Ginderbread leak is there?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skafan2:
I'm not so sure... Verizon "officially" says its a software bug, at least when I called them. However, it's either a very deep bug or a hardware issue because it has affected a lot of fascinates for a long time - I can remember missing calls for months now. Because of that, I think the devs have other things to focus on than a witch hunt for a tough bug fix. Best leave that to the professionals at Samsung.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xceebeex:
This is what I am running in to as well, but what has me worried is the new ED05 that is out in the Dev section. Verizon says it is a software issue so I am worried that the next update that gets pushed will at least temporarily put this offer on hold. Which means that for the people waiting for a Charge, they would have to update to the new software first and see if it fixes the problem.

So I am really debating what to do. The Incredible 2 is definitely a nice phone so I am almost wondering if I should not take the chance and just get the DInc2 or if I should try and hold out a couple more days.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oluchika:
Does anyone receive an order confirmation through email about their replacement phone? I was given an order number and they asked for my email address, but I haven't received anything.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garywojdan81:
The policy is still in place apparently but it does depend on who you get. Also, I think the volume of calls looking for a replacement has got them on guard. I got my X2 yesterday & my fassy goes back today? They even let me keep my 16gb card in lieu of the x2 8gb one. So now I have 24gb on board.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strictlyphat:
You won rwceieve an email until later tonight. I did the first time at about 7pm when its shipped.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slic|<:
Wow they told me I have to send everything back after recieving it. Though apparently I'm not supposed to get a SD card cuz I already have one but if I do I need to send one of them back unless I want to get fined individually for a 500+ fee.. how were you able to keep yours?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bardasian:
I was told to return my phone, battery, and back only. They said to keep the charger and SD card.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoninja118:
damn i was told to just send the phone, no battery or anything just like a replacement... 2 vz reps told me this so im gonna be pissed if i get slammed with the cost of the fassy

also my Charge was brand new and came with everything but the 4G sim

tapatalked from my VZ Droid Charge
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slic|<:
Oh ill just keep mine and see what happens.. it should be fined lol. Cuz apparently I'm not supposed to get an SD card in the first place and nor am I supposed to return it cuz it has my personal files on it.. hence why I'm supposedly not getting one. As told from a tech.. :/. I'll keep updated what happens.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slic|<:
Lol damn.. lucky if you don't. I was told I had to send back everything I received in pack/kit including the charger. And I don't know if it makes much difference but this is for the Dinc2.

And you can keep your charger if you don't get one.

So confusing..
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
How do you get tv shows to show up? It says it may take up to an hour for them to load after you install it but its been 12 hours and still no shows are showing up
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
Still can't figure this out
[HTC Sensation] evinkay:
Same here, wondering if it's a faulty apk or if the entire app doesnt work anymore
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
Someone on here linked me to the apk and I noticed it says I have the prime time subscription. Maybe that's why its not working?
[HTC Sensation] ridingonfumes:
could be your problem that could be your problem primetime version is the paid version 4.99 per year or 6 months something like that

Also hit the menu key to get into your preferences and preferences set it on allow access to the internet anytime

you may also have to set preference for battery saver I set mine to download only when charging
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
Any chance you could hook me up with the apk? I can't seem to find it and this one someone else linked me to is the paid one.
[HTC Sensation] evinkay:
I just dished out the 9 bucks for the paid version in the market...best 9 bucks ever spent. It's such an amazing app and I have no regrets. Plus primetime gives you those shows that you really want...The selection is amazing
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
I've Figured out the issue

I contacted the developer. He said the older version (~1.XX) won't work on newer devices basically. The newest version works however, (~3.29)

The .apk floating around the internet is severely outdated. The only version you can get nowadays is the paid version on the market.
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
So there isn't a free version that works with our phones? I would like to try it out before paying for it.

What's the premium selection like? How up to date are the episodes?
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
I've only had it for a couple of hours, I'd say the selection is good, but new shows don't sprout too often according to some reviews. I am pleased with the app though. I never found the "lite" version the developer was talking about.
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
I can't even find the paid version in the market now
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
Look for "droidtv primetime" on the market, i believe you might have to be in US
[HTC Sensation] phonegunner:
Found it here...

[EVO 4G General] Toney Starks:
hi guys i've been having a problem that i cant get fixed. ive asked some people and they are not sure what the problem, and also looked in threads and the fixes dont seem to work either.

i flashed the chadogr rom a while ago from cyanogen mod 7 becuz there were certain issues i was having with it.

when i had the chadogr sense rom, the battery would continuously die in barely no time at all, and when i looked at what was consuming my battery, "display" was always using at least 80-90%, and the phone would be dead in about 3 hrs or so.

got sick of it, and went to an aosp based rom called gingerbread evo deck 1.2w. it was very good and light on resources and battery life was good WHEN I DIDNT USE THE PHONE. but as soon as i started using it battery would drop so fast, but that didnt bother me, cuz sometimes i didnt need to use it. but there were somethings that i just couldnt stand with asop.

1. GPS never worked, EVER!! (i tried all the fixes to no avail) it was always searching for satellite everytime i wanted to use navigation.

2. it had awful signal strength (even wifi), constant disconnects, and always giving me this info that im internationally roaming (wtf)

3. a couple of other things not really worth mentioning.

i said eff it and decided to go back to sense, and decided on the synergy rom after reading the thread to great reviews.

i like the rom but im back again with those "high display" use problems again.

what is causing this and how do i fix it. there was a "fix" in the synergy rom thread but it didnt work for me. it said to go to the spare parts app and uncheck the compatibility mode, i did that and im still having those display issues.

here are some pics for illustration purposes:

this is the chadogr rom (sense), and after only about an hr, its down to 65% and look at what the biggest user is

here is the aosp rom (gingerbread evo deck) and look how much display is using, so little

and now here is the sense rom i flashed yesterday (7/17/11) (synergy), BACK TO THOSE DISPLAY ISSUES AGAIN :(

sorry this is so long, pls dont bite my head off or yell at me :D, i dont know what else to do,

i dont have automatic brightness, screen timeout is set at 30s

im lost

pls help, and thanks alot guys
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
It's more probably a difference of the battery stats plotting rather than the drainage of the display. Display drains the battery most out of all the components in the phone, so that reading must be pretty accurate. If you're battery is draining ridiculously more over AOSP, which Sense ROMs usually do, than you might have a problem with the ROM or kernel themselves and not necessarily Sense, or it could be a more accurate reading for the Displays battery use. I am running Synergy Nightly 7/16 and my battery life is relatively good to CM7.1 RC1. And yes display is at the top at 66% at about 1/4 the time on(Ex. 2 hrs run time since charge, 30 mins display on). Turn of auto brightness too.
[EVO 4G General] wfrandy:
Also remember that it is displaying percentage, so the display being higher is actually a good thing. Your display uses the most power of everything on the phone, or it should be, when it is using a higher percentage of the total power available, it means that everything else is using less. The only way to get the percentage of display use down is to either turn the brightness down, or leave the display off as much as possible.
[EVO 4G General] InfectedMushroom:
Click on display and you'll get an accurate reading of how much you actually used the display.

Synergy is awesome though, I went from 86% down to 85% when I woke up this morning. 10 hours off the charger and I wasn't even fully charged when I took it off. This thing is amazing with battery.
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
I have the exact same issue as the OP. I'm posting from my phone right now so when I get home I'll post a more detailed reply with pics but this is NOT NORMAL display usage. I'm getting sick of people telling me and others with this issue that its "just a percentage of what's using the battery and its normal ". Its not normal because this never used to happen to me and the display never used that much battery before. My battery life is horrible compared to a rom that doesn't do it. At most I'll get ten hours from a full charge and I can visibly watch the percentage drop as I'm using the phone. Even when I haven't touched the phone and the screen being off, the display usage will still be at like 90%.

It didn't use to happen, it seemed to just appear out of no where, the first time being with mikfroyo 4.62. I tried downgrading but no luck. I can only comment on roms that I have tried but it also happens with mikg and synergy and a few other sense roms. Aosp does NOT have this issue as I've tried a few differently ones. Currently using CM 7.1 and I'm getting at least 20 hours with heavy use.

I have been trying to get to the bottom of this for a few weeks but it seems that I just keep getting run around in circles. Now that I've seen other people are having this issue too hopefully we can get this worked out with some help. Its keeping me from using my favorite rom, synergy. I like aosp but it just can't match the performance and functionality of sense, oh and looks hehe. Like I said I will post up some pics when I get home to provide more evidence
[EVO 4G General] rlh82:
Have you checked your wake time on the ROM? Wake lock issues are a more likely culprit than the screen when it comes to bad battery life like you described. Go to menu/settings/about/battery and look at your Up Time and your Awake Time. If they seem close to identical (even though you know you've walked away from your phone for a while and had the screen off, etc.) then you have a problem.

The most likely solution is a PRI downgrade to 1.77. Check your ROM's forum to see whether or not a particular PRI is suggested or not.
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
Its not a simple wake lock issue. My up and awake time are very different, just like they should be. Its not pri either cause I've changed it multiple times with the same issue. How would that even affect display usage? Every pri problem had caused high cell standby or android system but not display. I just bought system panel and I am going to let it run a monitor for a while and see if it brings up any red flags (using synergy). This is something a little deeper than a simple wake lock or radio issue.
[EVO 4G General] rlh82:
Yep, sounds like it. All I know is that many, many phones (including mine) on gingerbread roms show very high display percentages. However, the phone lasts just as long as normal. The going notion is that gingerbread handles app and service power so much better than Froyo did that the display percentage simply has to be higher. That's how percentages work, of course. However, if your phone is dying at a much faster rate than normal, then yes, something is wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if it has nothing to do with your display. Not that I have any clue what it might be, just sayin'.
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
It does it regardless if its a froyo or gingerbread rom. First rom it popped up in was mikfroyo which is 2.2. But weirdly it didn't use to do it on that rom. I achieved my best battery life (30 hours moderate usage) on mikfroyo 4.62.
[EVO 4G General] theoner1:
I have three different phones.

Hero (rooted with CM7) - high display usage

Epic (Unrooted stock 2.2) - high display usage

Evo (rooted various 2.3 rom) - high display usage

All have high display except when I run Deck 1.2.1.

On my Evo some rom such as Sprint lovers (stock after auto root v2.5) 3.70 gave me high Android system, but most if not all gingerbread rom with the exception of deck all show high display usage including miui.

This lead me to think that high display usage is quite normal IMHO, just thought I'd share.
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
How high though? Mine and the OP display usage stays from like 80-90%. I can understand if its a little higher than everything else but this is extremely high. And why would extremely huh display usage be normal even if i haven't touched the phone and the screen is off? Its not normal because it didn't used to happen on the SAME rom. Like i said i used to be able to get 30 hours with mikfroyo 4.62, then this display issue came up and i cant hardly get 10 hours from a charge.
[EVO 4G General] Toney Starks:
when i 1st got my evo, display was never the biggest power consumer, it was either android system, phone idle or something else.

its hard to believe the reading is accurate, when i know i havent even woken up the phone that much, currently the biggest user of my phone at home is wifi, yet that shows only like 4% or so.

oh and yes auto brightness is off too as stated on the bottom of my original post
[EVO 4G General] Toney Starks:
ehh its ok, sure beats the other sense rom i was using (chardogr)

but still not blown away by the battery life.

i swear battery life is gonna be on the top of my list when im upgrading to my next phone, i cant deal with this **** anymore
[EVO 4G General] Toney Starks:
finally someone who understands what im going through, ive done everything and still coming up short with it.
[EVO 4G General] jwhitt213:
I've had the same problem as the OP, specifically with Sac's Kingdom... Loving Sense 3.0, but the battery drain was a little much. Feeling your pain.
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
I'm going to PM myn and aamikam with a link to this topic. I don't think we will be able to figure this out unless we get some rom developers involved. Hopefully they actually take the time to read my message haha
[EVO 4G General] Toney Starks:
thanks for taking this up brother, 'preciate it.

props
[EVO 4G General] marcusva79:
I feel your pain bro. What got rid of my issue was i downloaded battery callibration app from the market. Charged to 100% and then used the app. My battery usage went from 5hrs to 16hrs yesterday. I'm loving it. Everyone give that try and trust me it works. Currently running synergy rc2.
[EVO 4G General] Chuki82:
One thing I noticed, in your pics your signal is very low, if your signal is low your phones gonna use alot of juice trying to maintain and/or look for a better signal.

Try checking in an area with a decent signal.
[EVO 4G General] mfknboss:
@OP...as long as your up time and awake times are diffrent Your phone is completly normal...1) when your using sense roms your continuously using your phone,so your display screen is on all the time. Hence the display so high. 2) when your using aosp roms..your taking long breaks from your phone..the flat lines on your graphs...your phone is sleeping,allowing more batt life..your in 20+ hrs of use..when your on sense your in 3-4 hrs of non stop use..it looks to me u enjoy sense more and can't put your phone down LOL..so the more u use your phone the higher your display % is going to be.
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
**sigh* you guys aren't getting it. I have been busy the past few days so I haven't got a chance to post those screen shots but i will do it tonight and show you what sense battery usage should look like
[EVO 4G General] Uglytuc:
It is definitely not using same amount of battery. Display and Dialer are far and away the 2 highest users for me and have been that way since I moronically updating to stock GB. I used EasyProfiles to manage most of my battery settings and would average 12-14hrs a day on a charge. My phone just went out at 5 hr 27 minutes today. My battery usage has been significantly worse since I went GB with Display and Dialer killing my phone.
[EVO 4G General] mfknboss:
Ok ill post screen shots...using kinged kingdom ROM sense 3.0 by evokings...heavy usage and light usage..both from full charge,10mins from unpluged each...your display percentage is "screen on" time..that means if you go from a full charge "100%" use your phone for 10 mins non stop internet,Facebook,xda,etc...your display will be high..now if you go 10 mins from 100% and never used your phone it won't be high at all....your standby will..I get it..display is your screen lit up,awake time,screen on,whatever u want to call it...control how much your on your phone and u will control the display %
