Currently using EC01 and have been experiencing poor service /data speeds while at home.

Its never been great, 250k down or so. But since flashing this rom it has been significantly slower. I've been using it for a month or so now to rule out weather and other factors. I'm currently getting poor dial up speeds and have been for a few weeks.

Think switching radios will help? If so, which one? And can I just flash it in recovery?

Thanks for any input in advance.
[Fascinate Android Development] k_nivesout:
I'd try out the EH03 radio. I haven't run anything else so I can't really compare it to anything, but it seems to work really well most the time. On occasion I've seen more than 2mbps down, which is among the fastest speeds I've personally seen on Verizon 3g.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
definately step up to the ed05, eh03, or ec09 radio...those are the best 3 radios imo. You can find the links in section 6 of my guide in general section, or dig thru threads here in the dev section.
[Fascinate Android Development] acousticlemur:
Will try one tonight and see. Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] acousticlemur:
Using ec09 now. Seems about the same. Only real difference I'm noticing is the GPS lock seems to be worse.

I'm going to try one of the others in a few days. Wanna give this one a few more to see how it works in different places / situations.
[Fascinate Android Development] brettdacosta:
Also - is there a cwm that doesn't crap up when you do the 3 finger reboot after the phone hangs up? Thanks, guys.

And why have the nightlies stopped? And does anyone know if we can expect to see any other stable build or a taste of the CM9 that is in the works?
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
its not the cwm its the outdated kernel your using. Either use glitch v13.1 or flash makelegs CM7 Skang that has jt's latest kernel, its a nightlies that he is constantly updating and imo is the best version of cm7. The reason cayanogen dropped nightlies is because they are focusing on cm9 now.

Fascinate CM7 Stable
[Fascinate Android Development] thewonderofsteve:
My experience as a FT user for the last 3 months.

Finally, my beloved build of CM7 has bit the dust. And hard. Yesterday, after doing weird things for a week with pushing random buttons and touchscreen sensor malfuctions, it caughts itself in a bootloop. Never to wake up. Installed about 6 months ago when it came out of Beta. It's still pretty Beta IMO.

For the past 2-3 months it was having serious internet connectivity issues. Mind you - I spend alot of time prepping the phone and downloaded neccesary apps for my business that I don't like to wipe. Basically, when I install a ROM, for the phone to be usable, I do alot of customization and don't like installing crappy ROM's for that reason. Here's my story that you may learn from it.

I originally installed it over my TSM mod of 2.2 I believe. Wonderful upgrade when I went to CM7, tons of FC's until I gave up and went flashed stock. So I went back and Odin'ed and PIT file re-partition-ed, and re-installed CM7. High quality install (no FC's) except for:

- Wierd connectivity issues. Data sometimes disappeared in places where I get great reception. Had to reboot alot. Couldn't (at the time) dial to reprogram the phone with the *228 and stuff.

- Wierd ringing sound upon answering. I could hear a ringing sound in the background. Other party couldn't.

- Bad volume control. When I first answered it would blast it to the point of distorting the speaker. Speakerphone made me pretty much unintelligible (although I could hear the other party at high volume). When I turned the volume down, it would drop enormously with only one down click. To get it right, I had to answer, drop the volume down one click, then adjust it back up to something reasonable. It felt like somewhere along the way, a janky fix was applied to the Fascinate. Back when it had too low of a volume to crank it up. Normal call volume was fixed, but the janky fix wasn't removed. Regardless, only when I manually adjusted the volume (every call) did it revert to normal.

- Occasionally reboots. Very rare actually. Nice. No FC's ever. Good market behavior.

- Double locking behavior. When I applied the pattern lock, I had to first swipe the phone unlock, then input the lock pattern. This is not typical android behavior with the pattern lock - it should go straight to the pattern lock.

- As the phone declined, it stopped using my atypical long ringtone for text messages. Was nice and loud thoughout though.

Thanks for your hard work CM7 team. Wish updates had been released. Now I'm on to a de-bloated Samsung mod I think. Miui isn't more stable from what I can tell, and no one has released ICS for the Fascinate.

I've been limping along for the past several months waiting for something better - looks like TSM 2.3
[Fascinate Android Development] k_nivesout:
I believe most of the issues you listed have been fixed. I can confirm the call volume issue though, but I know there's a tasker script/profile out there that will fix it. For the double lockscreen, I'm pretty sure it shouldn't do that, but there are many lockscreen options in the CM settings menu that should be relevant to your problem.

It doesn't look like the "official" CM builds for the fascinate have been updated in a while, but they haven't been doing nightlies for a while now (for any device), since the focus is on CM9. I'd definitely recommend the CM kangs that makelegs has been generously putting out for our device, they're far more up to date than anything official, and the only issue you mentioned that I've experienced personally is the call volume thing and the very occasional data drop/switch from 3g to 1x.

Oh, and just so you know, there has been ICS for the fascinate for months, it's just not on XDA. You're gonna wanna look at rootzwiki for that.

I'm going to update to 112 tonight. What modem are you using? I'm on ec09 and I think it's time to go to a higher version.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
112 is ancient. Grab makelegs newest Skang.
[Fascinate Android Development] TomTcom:
I hear ya. It's less ancient than build 98...lol. I'm very comfortable with cm7 and have had virtually no real problems with it. I'll put on 112 and research the threads for the one you mentioned. thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
No prob. The one I mentioned is just an "unofficial" nightly containing the newest bug fixes, since the official nightlies are on hold.
[Fascinate Android Development] SmokeyDP:
Just curious, but why are the nightlies on hold?
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
because cm7 is no longer being developed...cyanogen team is working on cm9 now. However they do plan on releasing a cm7.2 update eventually, just no more nightlies. Check out makelegs cm7 skang based off of cm7.2, there is normally a new build from him every couple days...
[Fascinate Android Development] ibrubeer:
Almost flashed this ROM today, but chickened out at the last minute and flashed Superclean instead. I flashed an mtd ROM a while back, and had lots of problems with my SD card. Does CM7 still have SD card problems sometimes, or is that all fixed?
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
the problem is not the rom...some stock sd cards just dont play nice with MTD based roms in general. Chalk up a few bucks and buy a class 10 sd card and you will be golden. ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] jayjr1105:
Could someone give me a watered down version on how to install this ROM? I have a captivate and know it like the back of my hand but I know that there are some things you have to do different with the Fascinate. Right now my wife's phone has powerwashed 2.2 froyo and has had little problems with it and lately texting is failing left and right and I'd like to flash this. Do I need to load GB bootloaders like I did on my captivate or can I flash this with CWM recovery right on top of a froyo rom?

Came from powerwashed, and I would say it's worth it except for 1 problem....

Any luck anyone?
[Fascinate Android Development] adude247:
I'm wanting to download this ROM for my Fascinate, I'd be coming from Espresso RunnymedeSII ROM running Glitch 12HL, I'm getting decent quadrant scores and decent linpack numbers, I'm also running Super V6 9 beta 6.22, overall I'm good with my phones response time and everything, battery life sucks, but I'm always using the phone, so I'll deal with it, but from what I'm reading to me it sounds like there isn't that much of a difference in the Espresso ROM and this one, I know there a few different tweaks, but has anyone come from Espresso to CM7.1 and not seen a big difference between the two, all I'm reading is how wonderful CM7.1 is, but is it really or is it just the newest toy for us to play with so it's our favorite, anyone not happy with CM7.1...
[Fascinate Android Development] shilohdrummer:
I'm actually VERY satisfied with this rom. I've been going back and forth between Vanilla and other roms but they usually had small problems with the gps or this and that... so I settled with powerwashed.. a VERY stable rom minus the slower frame rate.

But this rom fixes all those problems! .... except the mms T T
[Fascinate Android Development] adude247:
I can't live without mms...

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

one other question that I think I know the answer to but have to ask to be sure, so let the hatin begin, on my current espresso RunnymedeSII ROM I've patch my SystemUI.apk to make my status bar transparent, and center my clock, I wouldn't be able to use 7 zip to move my SystemUI.apk from my espresso rom to CM7.1 would I, I just don't want a bad install, and end up having to Odin my way back to where I'm at now, I hate having to set up my apps again...
[Fascinate Android Development] shilohdrummer:
it seems like a trial and error effort, but since expresso and this rom is so similar, I don't see why not.

I'm still exasperated that Cyanogen decided to list this rom as "Stable" even though MMS doesn't work. I mean, I know they're doing this for free, but common. T T

the fascinate has been one problem after another... i mean, we've flashed probably hundreds of patches, roms, by now hoping for the "one".. but they are only imitates.
[Fascinate Android Development] adude247:
Agreed...
[Fascinate Android Development] sol_671:
Stable doesn't mean perfect.

Edit: Just be thankful we have a Cyanogen Rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] shilohdrummer:
stable does mean perfect. nightlies means "okay".

and I'll be genuinely thankful when I have mms working. I've been superficially thankful for a year too long.

I know it's not Cynogen's fault, i'm not pointing fingers at devs. I'm just thinking, WHY DID I GET THIS FASCINATE AND INHERIT THIS ****

I'm getting a lot of force closes, just about on everything. I tried repairing permissions and reinstalling older versions of the ROM. I'm puzzled at what is causing this...
[Fascinate Android Development] sarkozy:
All of the MTD roms are essentially the same thing, with minor tweaks.

SMS/MMS/GPS all work fine, contrary to what's been said. If you don't have a data connection after flashing, just *228 > Option 1 and you'll be set.

how much does the softkey backlight drain the battery? I get a lot of texts a day and the fact that the softkeys usually don't turn off worries me. What if it's an overnight thing where they don't turn off because I have one lingering text..

otherwise immaculate rom!!

mms is working perfectly for me. didn't need to dial *228 either. just cleared data/cache/dalvik, then flashed rom + gapps and everything is working perfectly
[Fascinate Android Development] craigeo:
I'm wanting to try this rom. Planning to tonight. Have been running powerwashed and it's been great. But, I loved the speed of the cyanogen roms I ran before. The only issue I had in the past as to why I switched off was the volume issue. I even purchased and install the volume+ package that some people said helped... did not.

Has the volume issue been resolved? I do not have good hearing in the first place so the low volume from the past updates made the phone unusable for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] dragonzsoul:
running 7.1 with glitch's latest kernel (ML i think?), OC'd to 1.5GHz to test quadrants, worked great!

reporting no issues (knock on wood). SMS/MMS/GPS/3G all verified!
[Fascinate Android Development] jp9506:
MMS has been working for quite sometime on Nightlys. I am currently running Build 74 with no issues with MMS. I recommend reflashing your modem in Odin after installing the rom, that will more than likely fix any issues you are having.

If that does not work, extract the MMS.apk from Build 74 and load that into 7.1.

Those of you having issues with 3G may need to activate another device and then switch back. There are a handful of threads in both the Questions and Development Forums detailing the how and why this is necessary.

This cm7.1 build was working awsome...then I decided to switch from med leak glitch to low leak glitch and got bootlooped. I have tried odining every stock package w/ pit and it still wont install??

Steps:

odin stock package, reset, let it boot

powerd off, odin cwmall.tar

threefinger into recovery and installed su-2.3.6 rootfile, rebooted

powered off, odin cwm4 fixed for cm7

three finger recovery wiped all three

installed cm7.1 zip

now all it will do is say checking md5/bml

reboots to cwm 5.x.x and checks md5/bml

says install complete

reboots to samsung logo, then to cm7 logo, then yellow triangle flash error and starts bootlooping? It flashes so quick I cant see what it says when the triangle error message pops up? Im stumped...tried going back to dl09, ed05, even tried from stock eh09, but no love. Man I was loving this new cm7 too, should left the ****ing thing alone lol. Any suggestions? Thx

edit* fyi I can get any eh09 rom to install, but nothing mtd based at this point. Not sure if something left on my sdcard is causing a issue?
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
I'm on ED05 I found it just a bit better overall than EC09 on previous versions of CM7 and VGB
[Fascinate Android Development] sarkozy:
ODIN the ED05 package, let it boot once. Then ODIN the CWM4 file, boot into recovery and flash CM7. Rooting is a completely unnecessary step since you're using a custom recovery image.

That could be a cause of your problem, or it may not be.

I would love to hear more about GPS because that is what holds me back. Stock ED05 locks very accurately and quickly with Runkeeper and MyTracks. The CM7 based roms never lock very well and the the apps show poor GPS reception.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
I have tried that method atleast 10 times today... the first time I got cm7.1 installed was by rooting first. I know that makes no damn sense, but my phone has had trouble from day one installing mtd roms and Im not sure why. I follow directions to the T and get nothing but boot loops. It seems I have to end up doing something funky to finally get the rom installed. I did get vgb7 installed earlier, then tried using rom manager to flash back over to cm7 per vgb guide instructions and got boot looped. Now I cant even get back to vgb7 lol. I need to take a video so folks can see its really not user error here. I got a weird issue goin on imo.

Anyhow, I came from powerwashed and had failed mms. Some suggestions here suggest that I start back from the ed05 i500 stock.tar and then flash cyanogen 7.1. I'm gonna save all you guys the effort and do it myself and come back with the results (mms and gps although the gps was superfluous when I used it on 7.1)

be back in 30 minutes

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

I'm having this rare occurrence where my sd card was damaged after the 7.1 flash. FORTUNATELY, formatting the card saved it and it wasn't permanently burned.

Since my I didn't have my Titanium backup anymore, I needed to use gapps.. but now, even that doesn't flash correctly.

reflashing 7.1 right now.... this is only a minor setback as we fascinate users are so used to it by now.

be back in 20. (The mms was working... now it's only time to check the gps, but I have high hopes)
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
Have you tried redownloading / checking md5's on any of the files you're using? Tried flashing from a different SD / reformatting the current one (via Windows as FAT32, of course) ?

Incidentally, I also got a bootloop after installing as well (I'm dumb, no logcat etc.) Came from 70 but did a full wipe beforehand. Odin'ed ED05 w/ pit, then followed OP instructions from there as usual, running fine now.
[Fascinate Android Development] shilohdrummer:
Okay, just flashed ed05 i500.tar and then cm7.1 after some trial and error.... The gps works BEAUTIFULLY! I cannot say the same thing for MMS. It actually works, especially when 3G is working and on. It rarely works when wifi is on though. (There is NO need to flash ed05.tar from powerwashed, the results are the same)

Hopefully this will help some people in making their decision.

I personally love the speed this rom offers. It's definitely faster than powerwashed and the MMS problem is only a minor setback if you don't use MMS that often.
