[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
the og galaxy s phones (fascinate included) ran like **** on stock eclair w/ rfs

the user experience generally improved (and apparently droid charge 2.3.5 is actually very smooth stock) but thats nearly 18 months after the i9000 launched

samsung has learned from its mistakes and the sgs2 (not even considering the nexus devices) is a great phones and ditched rfs and a lot of the bugs/issues have been ironed out

you can argue what phone is better than what phone in circles...but its pointless

samsung and verizon deservedly caught a lot of crap over the many issues surrounding this device...

the community is now a shell of what it once was, and many that are still around came late to the fascinate (post dj05 or even froyo) or have been using aosp or cleaned up froyo/gb tw and are more positive about the phone

but there was a long while that the fascinate was a pita phone...i still like it and enjoy it...but keep my inc2 activated over it :o

i agree with siky...stop acting like you own the place because quite frankly you sound like an idiot when you struggle to TYPE a FOUR LETTER WORD. It's because of fool's like you our society is going down the drain.All the paragraphs in the world won'y help unfortunately.

If I were going to use a ROM other than miui I'd go for this:

Please do more than look at the screenies in the first post when you decide what ROM you'd use and you just may end up stumbling on the instructions that are posted on virtually EVERY ROM thread.

EDIT:

We are not teasing your grammar. That's racist and I am completely against such things. We are pointing out the fact that you spelt a simple word wrong and then acted like a an arrogant fool about it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] axerontios:
look at my word... all i say even in bad spelling i s THANKS !! really just look..

im tecnician and this is not the first phone i flashed.. but this is the last thread i'll open here.

this is a forum not just for experts it is for everyone i think so..

i would really like a opinion of a admin on this and on the rom think from anyone.

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
Buddy, let me tell you why we are so rude:

1. Wrong section, this is the development section, not the q&a section, so I really really hope this is the last time you post here.

2. Read some paragraphs and use search, don't make a separate thread just to ask something, plus in the wrong section with bad spelling, and after being corrected you are ignorant and ask something else.

3. Just because you are a "noob", nobody is obligated to answer your "noobish" questions. Stop being such a negativist and start reading.

I hope in the future you will respect these basic rules on any forum, not just xda :).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] krarvind:
I tell people who post questions in development section nicely once to move it to q&a, if they don't then I ignore. many post here so they can get fatser response and not because they didn't know it is the wrong section. I will help but only if you help yourself first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leatherneck6017:
Great post. I feel pretty much the same as you about this phone. Sure it has some annoying bugs, but overall it just rocks. You can't even make this bad boy stutter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aburgthing:
Thanks for taking the time to write this. I've been fence sitting since June (when I was upgrade eligible) to make an informed decision on an upgrade. With Sprint snatching the Sprint Premiere Gold at the end of the year, I am really on the prowl to upgrade to a device that has a solid root (without issues), a dependable phone for work (it's vital that it just work), and it be that exponential leap over my aging Evo 4G. I was pretty sure this phone would be my landing pad but was scared off by all the LOS complaints and people giving different information on whether it was kernel (root) or factory radio problems. Will continue to watch the developments here (I'm in this thread everyday) and see what is on the horizon for Sprint. My Evo actually fills the bill except for the horrid battery life that chains me to a charger or USB cable so I have a few months to decide. Throw in the impending Sprint LTE revelations and LTE enabled devices allegedly coming this summer and now another quandary pops up. My next will be my next for two years so I gotta think it through. Again thank you for your constructive input.

I have had this phone since launch and I'm completely one hundred percent satisfied. I've had the hero evo 4g, evo shift, evo 3d, and now this phone, and I have never been as satisfied with a android device as I have with this one. Performance,Battery life, call sound quality, reception, ect has honestly been amazing. I used to change devices every six months but I don't see the need with this phone and I don't think I will ever buy another HTC device after using this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1BadHEMI:
100% agree! This phone amazes me everyday. I was always a HTC fan, owing the original EVO, then the 3D, and even talked my daughter into getting the Shift over the Epic 4G. I honestly can say that I don't miss HTC at all, nor do I miss Sense 1 bit either. Samsung and Sprint did a great job on this phone. My signal blows the 3D away. In areas where I would be roaming with the 3D, the EpTouch handles without a hiccup. Wifi might show less bars, but then again, it still pulls faster speeds than my 3D did. I will definitely be very satisfied with this phone till the SIII comes out next year!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
I love the phone but the wifi issue is incorrect. I have my router downstairs and frequently drop the connection whereas every other device (laptop, phone, ps3) has as great signal even outside. I think it may be the driver i'm looking into it

PS I tried getting the file from your first link on that Chinese page - the file I downloaded looked very suspicious, it had a text file with a whitelist for a bunch of Chinese sites. As I don't read Chinese I have no idea if I clicked the wrong link or what. You should maybe re-package the files and offer a more trustworthy download link in future?

I just purchased this phone (i9100) last night after a long travel to track it down. today I simply wanted to update the firmware on it and I was using Odin3 v1.85 to do it but It failed and stayed like that for an hr with the phone in the download mode. I finally disconnected the phone and started it back up and it said " firmware upgrade encountered" with the phone on icon on the left a yellow triangles in the middle and a computer on the right side. Almost looks as though the symbols and words are cutting off the screen.

I can boot into the Download mode but the computer does not recognize the phone anymore nor does Odin or Kies. So I cant even attempt to re-flash the damn thing... I'm so upset right now and feel like taking a hammer to this damn phone...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've don't everything when it comes to drivers uninstalling Kies, using other computers without Kies installed, different ports and cables. I've done it all as far as i can see.... also I cant return the damn thing as i didn't buy it from a store. so im **** out of luck if i cant get this working.... PLS HELP!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
Are you sure you are downloading the right version of the drivers? I ask because it sounds like you bought the international galaxy s II and not the Epic 4G Touch but you asking the question in the E4GT forums.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jettienne12:
The phone is Sprint branded and so is the box.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geekaren:
Okay, so for future reference... you have the D710, NOT the i9100. (The i9100 is the international SGS2, different enough from the Epic Touch that you can't flash i9100 firmware.)

That said, if you can get into download mode then all is not lost!!

Restart your computer. Also, when you use odin, be sure to go into your Windows task manager and close any Kies tasks/processes that may be running in background. You only need Kies for the drivers it provided when you installed it onto your pc.

Suggest you put your phone into download mode, and follow the instructions in the 1st post in this thread:

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I was never able to get any computer to recognize the phone in that state. I was able to take it to the Sprint store and they ended up giving me a new one for a small service charge. Since you didn't get it at a store I would contact Samsung and give them the story that cooza suggests in the thread you linked. Good luck and post back if you ever get it working, I am still curious as to what was wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
The only thing that might be hampering your effort is Kies might be still active. I overlooked this instruction (as was mentioned in a previous post). Before starting Odin or connecting your phone go into Windows task manager (ctrl/alt/del) and click on processes. Scroll down and you'll probably see a Kies process running. End that process, then try it again.
