To this day I hate, despise, and generally don't like Touchwiz. Same goes for Sense and Motoblur.

But I have to agree that this is the best experience I've had on my Fascinate to date. I work in a low signal area yet my phone lasts all day. Haven't had this happen since 2.1 and heavy JuiceDefender settings.

I overcome the current battery charging bug by plugging my phone into my car charger on my way to work. After that, it lasts all day on moderate usage; hour of browsing, hour of phone calls, couple dozen text messages. I do not do anything special to achieve this. Just flashed the ROM and installed my apps (no Titanium Backup!).

I just try this rom yesterday.

To be honest, best gps perception ever have on fascinate using this rom

5 secs got 6 satellites locked

10 secs get around 10 satellites, no other fascinate that I try would be this best in gps.

But I got a little "problem" with the autobrightness setting

The autobrightness to active for me, it's makes dim and bright to often for indor activity.

Is there anyway to set the autobrightness setting?

Example this round light using this brightness screen etc (like autobrightness setting in miui)

........

Also want to ask, this rom great gps perception is because of the rom, kernel or the radio?

(I flashed the all in one)

Thank you.
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Answer 1: no you can't adjust the auto settings, but you can use a little widget called "brightness level" that will let you toggle all the levels including auto

answer 2:combination of radio and the Rom' s gps configuration file implemented in PW 1. 2 and 2. 0

Quick question - overall very happy yada yada yada just needs voodoo which may never come yada yada yada.

One of the main reasons I came back to TW was the camera, but now I'm getting errors when I try to camcorder at 1280x720 "Resolution not supported by SD card"? What the what?

Anyone else? Does it think the SD doesn't have the read/write speed to keep up? It's the "came with phone" 16gb card which never had a problem before. Would really love to be able to record at 720p. 720 x 480 is nice, but I'd love to have the full quality available. Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] Bawb3:
@merman

Is your sd card almost full?

You could also try backing your stuff up on a computer and reformatting the sd card.
[Fascinate Android Development] FDro:
720 works fine with mine, using stock card. You could try to reformat your card and see if that helps(also try to unmount/remount).
[Fascinate Android Development] teezle:
I've seen in older posts, people were going into display settings and disabling the power save mode. I have no idea how this option "works" together with the other option of auto brigtness. (It may even disable auto brightness? I am not sure, just passing the info....)
[Fascinate Android Development] Merman1983:
I guess it may have been an available space issue. I had 1.6GB free (didn't think that would be an issue), but I dumped a bunch of backups to my PC and with 6.5GB free it seems to work fine (I backup a bunch ;) ). Thanks FDro as well, if it happens again I will try that. Just glad it's not an issue ROM-wide. I forgot how much I liked having a HQ video camera in my pocket all the time.

*naw happened again will try other suggestions ...

** hasn't happened last few times I tried - heard someone mention that a Class 6 card is required for 720p which seems odd as I'm using the card that came with the phone.

Anyone having an issue logging in to Facebook? I'm trying to integrate my calendar.
[Fascinate Android Development] SHANENATAS:
I had the same problem. All I did was sign on to Verizon, goto contacts and exported the to a .cvs file. Sign into gmail went to contacts and imported. Now I don't like keeping all my contacts on gmail. Next went in my phone and auto synced, all my contacts back on my phone. Unchecked auto sync, went back to gmail on PC and deleted all contacts. So contacts back on phone and off google, life is good. The whole process took a few minutes. I saved the export .cvs file from verizon to my desktop. When finished made a folder "My Contacts" then threw that in my documents. Hope this helps. It was really easy to do.
[Fascinate Android Development] tulalhyt:
thankx to both of you for the information, i will try it :)

You can set facebook to export calendar events to your google account, then that will sync with any calender that uses your gmail account.

which one do you flash ? i'm flashing the all in one package (rom kernel radio pit), and great on gps ...

............................

just a few hours a go found bug with google map

@ first using google map works great, zoom in out , scrooling, rounding, etc

after a few minutes using google map (scrolling, zoom in out , etc) the screen not capable to touch anymore (the soft button menu home back search still works, and harware button works), if I shut the screen off, and on again, the screen touch functional again, but after a periodic later it's getting not function again (the touch screen) .. this only happen on google maps ...
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
It is a known bug . I use widget locker so all I have to do is lock and then unlock the phone to get it to work again.

As far as the gps lock, download and run the app gps status from the market. That should help

[Fascinate Android Development] SHANENATAS:
Power off your phone, remove the battery. Plug in your usb to pc or laptop, reinstal your battery and hold vol up while turning on. you should see the yellow triangle I think , now plug in the usb, start odin then run the flash, PDA I think, you might want to double check, I know you don't select the phone tab.
[Fascinate Android Development] rosser725:
I have a couple of questions.

1. Is there a way to hide the battery percentage?

2. Are there any kernels that I can flash for better battery life (if so how)?

3. Lastly, is there a way to make it say Verizon instead of PowerwashedGB?

just checked mine, still vers 5.10.0 september 8 2011

still no newer update from market
[Fascinate Android Development] jcurley:
if you installed from Titanium, you may need to force the update yourself, by searching in the market and updating. Newer market versions are not showing an update if you restored from TIBU.

I just flashed this coming from CommRomm since it was released. On CommRomm my GPS was starting to suck and I was getting calls that weren't being notified.

GPS is way faster on this GB PW rom but I'm still getting the occational missed call with zero notification. I am getting voice messages is the only way I know.

I been out of the loop for ahwile but I do remember something about this being a problem last I checked and it was recommended to flash the PB&J 0808 kernal I believe to fix it.. I had done that on CommRomm but the problem still occured, although not as much.

So how do I fix this problem on this GB Powerwashed rom? Do I need another kernal? Everything else is working great.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
not much you can do until a non stock kernal is released for eh09.
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
When I was on power washed gingerbread the market would notify me of application updates but I couldn't run the updates from the market. The only work around was to uninstall the application and install the newer version from the market outside of the normal update process.
[Fascinate Android Development] johndiblasi:
I think I have a glitch. When I first flashed the rom I got a voicemail. Didn't think nothing of it when i signed into Google voice. My lockscreens still states I have a voicemail.

Removed Google voice,*73 to remove call fowarding, deleted the Verizon voicemail and then signed back into Google voice.

Lockscreen still states one new voicemail. Any ideas?

* I even cleared the cache for tw and still a no go.

I just installed this Rom, and so far I really like it, it's fast even though no Voodoo yet. I was hesitant to go to a non voodoo rom, but I really wanted to try out GB..one question, I don't have to worry about this ROM messing up my SD card right? Also I loved the modded gb launcher2 from Comm Rom, is there any way to install this launcher instead of TW, or what launchers are compatible, not really digging the TW. Thanks!!
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Launcher pro is IMO the best and fastest launcher there is, followed closely by go launcher ex. Any other launcher feels slow and lethargic to me. And these work flawlessly in most phones and most roms. Try them and you'll see the difference

I am sure he is giving em a few tips on how to actually finish their stuff !!!

all in all he is a very humble guy and just awesome at what he does ( our fassy ROMS i am referring to here , but i am sure in RL as well he is a perfectionist )

all his products, the three ROMS are very very good.

Just flashed this last night coming from omfgb. Thot i would try a little changeup from aosp. Nice rom so far but was wondering if anyone else has noticed low in call volume. Ever since the call volune was fixed with aosp kernels i was used to very loud call volume but this seems very hard to hear again. Is it just me or doea anyone else hace relatively low in call volume?
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
call volume great here. Im using voodoo control, not sure if that affects it.
[Fascinate Android Development] dave3588:
Yeah so do i. Dont know what it could be
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Aosp kernels with call volume gains are insanely high but distorted, even the lowest setting is deafening in quiet environments. The volume on PW 2. 0 is just right.

Afaik voodoo sound does not affect ear piece volume

sent from my SCH-I500 PWGB 2. 0b3
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
I'm the guy who authored the call volume fix.

You're correct that voodoo sound does not affect call volumes, and that they are crazy high on most aosp kernels. The latest Glitch kernel has improved on that somewhat. I toned it down a little by default, and added a way for people to configure their own settings for call volume and mic gain. I think the other aosp kernel devs have yet to pick up the changes, tho.

[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
I respectfully disagree... This rom is a odin version with pit file included. So basically it repartitions just like a stock package would. Just put the rom in PDA, atlas 2.2 in PIT, make sure repartition is checked, and you should be set. Now if this rom was a cwm flashable zip, then yea you would have to odin back to a stock package first.

sent from my SCH-I500 PWGB 2. 0b3
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
True enough. It would be fine as long as you repartition etc. I was just setting forth the principle that a certain process needed to be followed from mtd rom or else trouble follows and our friend kidseripus did a good job of explaining it in his stickies post. I was just keeping it simple for the original questioner who describes himself as"somewhat of a noob. " (we've all been there and in many respects still are)
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
my point is that the atlas pit is included in the pwgb rom. as long as you use it and repartition, its the same thing as going back to stock, but one less step.

Nothing wrong with that! Thats exactly what I was trying to do...simplify things by removing one unecessary step.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
I think i would have to agree with afew folks here who are complaining about the low in call volume of the earpiece,

I noticed it too , i would say its like 20 to 30% lower than what i had in PW ed05 or any other froyo rom.

CC as and when u are back and if you also agree then pl have a look at it.
[Fascinate Android Development] the entity:
I agree that the in call volume is a bit low, but I remember that when I first flashed the Rom the volume was extremely loud. I think the change in max volume occurred around the same time I started using tasker to change volumes.

I have made a simple change that has made my phone way snappier. I noticed that the default vm heap size was set at 64. I thought it was excessive for a phone with 384 of ram, so I changed it to 48 with vm heap size tool from the market. I noticed some improvements over the last week so I decided to lower it to an even more reasonable 32. As a result I get even better performance, things open up way faster including camera, root explorer and quick pic and as a by product maps doesn't freeze any more.

If anybody wants to try it let me know how it goes for you

Would that script from the glitch kernel thread to modify mic gain and earpiece vol work on any rom or is that specific to glitch kernel
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Really?...I am on MIUI which is defaulted to 32...but I bumped it up to 48 and things seems faster...weird, because Samsung's default is at least 48 on most phones...128 for their newer phones...

Having a higher vm heap size means that more apps can use more memory and the os will go into garbage collection less often when it need to free up memory. Do a google search on vm heap size and read up on it and decide for yourself...overall, most reviews on the subject seem to be a mixed bag...
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
I've read that before. 64 was definitely too much, I consulted with a couple of fassy devs and they agreed. At 48 the phone stopped having the touch screen freezes, and at 32 apps that are dependent on the SD card are way faster. I may be paying a price on battery life though because of the garbage collection. But the apps that I use the most seem to stay in ram way longer. I'll keep testing it

well i usually just get them back from backup assistant so guess i have to roll all this back to stock, load up contacts, then save to sd, then re-do all this again and then restore from sd. well that sux. any reason the app was removed from this rom? would be nice to have it back.
