same here. ED05 and EC09 had me living on 1x most of the time - if i even had data at all..went to EB01 and no 1x and solid data..tried DL09 just to see, and i get solid 3g and faster downloads.

Samsung Fascinate :: CM7.1 :: JT V6kernel :: DL09 radio
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
on eb05 now and seems better than dl09. its all based on where we live and varies across all phones. If it helps im on long island.
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. First attempt was first a odin back to EC01- atlas 2.2 pit plus repatriation checked, then a odin flash to ED05. After I drained my battery too low I just did the Odin back to ED05. Every install went smooth. I was on the DL09 radio when I was on the Powerwashed ROM last week and it was no better than ED05 speed wise. In fact they only raio that worked well on my phone was EC01. I was getting like 1.5 meg down it was amazing. On ED05/DL09 I'm at about 200k down. Still I'm more worried about the data dropouts. I'm having a bugger of a time today even getting data, I had to restart the phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
havent experienced one data drop out all day so far with eb05. dl09 dropped out three times in the same time yesterday.
[Fascinate Android Development] brettdacosta:
Ok - so a couple more issues...

1. After restoring everything with mybackup root, a lot of my games are force closing immediately after opening. I don't know how to fix it, and it's super frustrating.

2. I just flashed glitch V12 (as background information), but I'm pretty sure it worked for a little while, and then my Backlight notifications (in the soft keys) stopped working.

Any thoughts?
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
when you restore apps, its best to restore the app only w/ out data. Did you wipe cache and dalvik before flashing glitch?
[Fascinate Android Development] azpirin1:
Also, I feel that there is an issue with wifi data connectivity. Other than that, I am so relieved coming from stock rom. However, I am using so called smart phone. You get my drill?
[Fascinate Android Development] brettdacosta:
The how do you keep your data - any way to keep progress with angry birds?

And no - I didn't wipe cache and dalvik before flashing glitch. Didn't think I had to. Should I try that now (wipe dalvik and cache and then reflash glitch)?

And any idea how to fix the force closes in the position I'm in now? I'll do them separate next time. Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] fstbusa:
usually not wiping anything can cause the FCs.... you can try just restoring data on AngryBirds only and not anything else. I would go back and wipe, wipe, wipe, and reflash and see if that fixes it.
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
If you guys aren't completely happy with CM7 go and try the newest Nightlies. Has JT's even newer kernel and tons of fixes. Just an idea. The nightlies was 10x's more stable for me than the official release. Give it a shot
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
+1 to that.
[Fascinate Android Development] SmokeyDP:
I'll try the nightly when the next one gets updated. I see a laundry list of fixes pending the next build.

Do you guys just do a backup, then install the next nightly right from Rom Manager? If I try to download it through there, it prompts me to install the latest recovery.
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
I dont use rom manager. never cared for it. Just download wipe data and cache and flash it if on cm7 already.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
I used to feel the same way, but its integrated md5 check ensures you get a non-corrupt download (critical for roms and kernels). I still flash via recovery though, since Rom Manager forces a combined cache and data wipe; I rarely wipe data between nightlies unless I'm having problems. In recovery, you flash the downloads from the appropriate subfolder under "clockwork."
[Fascinate Android Development] LX.SF:
I'm having issues flashing Glitch V12 HL after this ROM. I think it was mentioned in some previous posts but never fully addressed? CWM says the kernel is installed but the boot stalls on the circling Cyanogen image. If anyone could address this, it would be much appreciated, thanks!

EDIT: Also, I'm finding that in my Voodoo controls for jt's kernel, I can't access the gamma hacks; is his kernel just incompatible? I'm missing the dark yet contrasted screen I had on glitch.
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaik541:
if you have problems with glitch kernel, keep the problems to that thread.

stock kernel only supports RGB tuning, not the gamma hack
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
well yea lol...your suppose to wipe cache, dalvik whenever you install any zip imo...it's flashing 101.

*On a side note, I think if more people actually followed the proper directions when flashing roms/kernals, they would have alot less problems. I know the stable version isn't perfect but im not getting have the problems alot of folks are.
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
Well CM7 ran good for a day or two, then just now with 91% battery and not doing much (phone was just sitting there) it crashes and does the same thing it did 3 days ago. Just bootloops at the Cyanogen boot screen. You go to recovery and get all kinds of e:can't mount /cache errors. Something is totally screwy with the ROM or something. I've never had any ROM just totally crash for no reason. So I have to wipe the phone clean tonight and try something else. Between this and the data dropout this ROM still needs major work. Might try the latest nightly but this is the 4th time I've tried CM and it looks pretty and the phone flies with it, but wow is it cranky.

EDIT: just got a PM from a person who read my previous post and the exact same thing happened to him that I described above, so its not just my phone. Is it a problem with the recovery?
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
Sounds like you're using three-finger recovery; that doesn't work with MTD roms, so your only options are via the reboot menu or ADB if you boot loop. This should be stated in the install instructions, but apparently isn't.

Second, seeing as this doesn't consistently happen to everyone on CM7, you simply cannot blame it on the rom (and the devs by extension). To put it bluntly, based on what you've written, it doesn't seem like you've done much troubleshooting. Have you followed install instructions to the letter? Have you tried going back to stock and reinstalling? Any tweaks installed? Theme morphs? Sardines?
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
Yes I followed the install instructions to the letter, this isn't the first time I've been on an MTD rom either (Tried MIUI for awhile). Forgot about not using the 3 finger recovery too my bad. However for some reason I can't set up ADB on my laptop at home. The phone won't boot up enough to do an ADB reboot anyway.

Tweaks? Was running the adrenaline shot and the ice cream sandwich theme.

I'm not upset about it either, I always have everything backed up including my SD card so crashes are no biggie. Its just that someone just PM'd me with the exact same issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] Holliday:
The one common theme I see here are the scripts used in Adrenaline Shot and Glitch.

My guess is a change they made plus a condition in the ROM blows the phone up. Also possible a third variable combines to create the never ending boot. Would explain the low frequency of occurrences and the common ROM's.

Want to test my thoery do what I did. ODIN back to a Froyo ROM then do a complete wipe and install CM7. Don't install anything else that could affect the ROM or kernel in any way.

4 days clean now. Going to wait a full month before I try Glitch again.

Too many damn variables in these phones to so easily place the blame when people are flashing and installing everything under the sun.
[Fascinate Android Development] SteveC485:
I sure don't see the issues a lot of folks are seeing. The only things are sometimes I have to toggle into and out of Airplane mode to get data back, and sometimes when I turn on the GPS, the sound on the phone turns off. So I have to watch to be sure to turn the sound on if I use the GPS. But all in all this makes the Fascinate a different and better phone. I think glitch is a little quicker, but hardly enough to notice, but in my phone GPS works better, especially offline with Backcountry Navigator, with the stock kernel than glitch does.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
check out glitch v13 rc... it will cost 5.00 from market but it's worth it! It will be free at some point, but I couldnt wait and 5 bucks is nothing. Gps is the best I have ever seen, bln times out, and most importantly alot more ram is freed up. I can keep 150-170mb free as opposed to 80-100mb before.
[Fascinate Android Development] SteveC485:
I did indeed do Glitch RC 13, with the app. You are right, it is batter than v12. This is abouit the only time since I got the Fascinate during the early days of its release that I feel I really have a better phone than my original Droid.
[Fascinate Android Development] lagbot7000:
I'm finding battery life to be really good when the phone is sleeping, but it seems to drain much faster during normal tasks like browsing the web. CPU Spy doesn't show anything abnormal. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same increased drain.
[Fascinate Android Development] SmokeyDP:
I'm noticing this too.

Honestly, any of you guys running this should really do a backup and check out one of the latest nightly's. There have been a lot of general little bug fixes as well as some Kernel updates for the fascinate.
[Fascinate Android Development] froalskiner:
Can't get gapps to install

I'm up in CM7 after switching from Powerwashed however I can't get the market to show up. I've installed the gapps zip from the first post and it says it's successful but it doesn't show up in my apps list.

I've also tried installing from ROM manager but so far I haven't been able to get the market to show up. Any ideas?

EDIT: Booted back into CWM and saw it was updated to 5.x. Applied the gapps zip one more time and it worked.
[Fascinate Android Development] dragon1357:
so how long is everyone's batteries lasting?
[Fascinate Android Development] icemanwbs:
Just Google "android apps" then download to your device
[Fascinate Android Development] Justice8908:
Anyone here heard of the NFL Mobile bug that's been happening with the later CM7 updates?
[Fascinate Android Development] exzacklyright:
Usually depends how long you have the display on. And at what brightness. I don't think I've ever got over 3.5 hours of on-screen time
[Fascinate Android Development] sam.assad:
2.3.7 dont stick

i followed the steps on here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1212239 to install cm7 #91 the only thing i change is Gapps ,i installed 8/28 instead of 7/25 and still show 2.3.5 after installing the Gapps and some miui stuff under about the phone setting i dont know what wrong with my phone
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaik541:
how about you actually follow the instructions in the wiki and use the gapps we link to, and not some random, crappy, outdated zip from god-knows-where?
[Fascinate Android Development] sam.assad:
can i flash Gapps 7/25 over the one i have which is this (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps)
[Fascinate Android Development] icemanwbs:
First off, that's not cm7 ( your screenshot) . I followed same guide to the letter and have no problems. Go back and read it through, then read again. Then Re do. You must follow it to the letter.
[Fascinate Android Development] tee00max:
Thinking about flashing this...I on EI20 right now with EC09 radio..is that fine?
[Fascinate Android Development] c22002:
Hey, did you ever get this figured out? I get it on any cyanogenmod rom I try. Love the Roman but I just can't deal with my phone being dead. The miui Tom I am using now is working and its mtd as well?

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
flash glitch kernal and undervolt -50uv across the board. That seems to have fixed sod's.. check out the glitch thread.

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

yep ec09 radio works with any froyo/gingerbread rom
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
The screenshot you are showing is MIUI, not CM7. Since that puts you in the wrong thread, I suppose I could stop there, but you may be happy to know that the 2.3.5 you are seeing is the Android OS version, not the Google apps version you've installed. If you want it to change, flash CM7 and it will jump up to 2.3.7 :cool:

8/28 is the newest gapps linked from the wiki, which is probably where he got it from.

The thread he linked to was outdated, so it looks like he did the right thing and grabbed the newest version.
[Fascinate Android Development] jakechance:
Has anyone else had the following problems and know of ways to fix them:

1) Speaker phone doesn't work. People calling me report hearing themselves when I have speaker phone on and it usually cuts off the last word they say.

I'm running the latest nightly builds and this has not gone away.

2) Occasionally 3G and Wifi have connection problems. I will be "connected" but the icons in my notification bar for 3G/Wifi and signal strength will be white and I cannot access the internet. I have to toggle them or use airplane mode to force a reconnect. They'll turn blue (or green depending on theme) when they're actually connected and working.

I've heard it could be a radio problem. I have no idea how, since ED05 should be the default radio with CM 7.1, but I have EC09 for my radio. I've been told DL09 might fix this and I'll try it though my access to a windows PC with Odin is infrequent.

Any help, even others experiencing this, would be greatly appreciated.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
Common issues.... Glitch v13 seems to be better about data drop, but speaker phone is a known issue an all aosp roms.
[Fascinate Android Development] jakechance:
Is Glitch v13 available for the Fascinate yet or is it just v12 beta?

That link is for the Telus Fascinate not sure that was your intention. RC13 is available for the Verizon Fascinate right now but only via the Glitch Kernel App
[Fascinate Android Development] joshkoss:
thats the V13 thread. yea i thought it was the same. anyhoo i get my 13 from the app :cool:
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Speaker phone works, just badly. It works a lot better if you don't have it set to maximum volume, and if you take the back off. Yes, this isn't very practical, but the echo inside the battery case is not being cancelled out like it's supposed to.

3G/Wifi problem is intermittent across what seems to be all ROMs/kernels/radios. Some seem worse than others, but is probably a multi-variable problem.

You mention that ED05 is the default modem with CM7.1. This is not true, since the modem is never touched while flashing ROMs. The easiest way to change the modem is using Odin to flash the ED05 modem file.
[Fascinate Android Development] jakechance:
I can't recall where I was told that ED05 was the default modem but it makes sense that it isn't since I don't have it. Thanks for the clarification. Do you have a recommended modem for CM?
[Fascinate Android Development] c22002:
Any way to avoid it without glitch?

Thanks for trying to help out. I appreciate it.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
its a 5.00 app that can be had from the market.

you can try undervolting jt's kernal by -50uv across the board and disable the 100mhz step...use voltage control or set cpu.

in call volume to loud and make my voice little better than CB radio....

its overamplified does matter with bluetouth or without

i hear no good but still acceptable. other party hear me very bad

that happines with signal if it overamplified - harmonic distorsion, like on this picture from wikipedia

i didnt find any option to lower it, google it and found that is most common problem. You need to do something with it, rom is excellent, but with bad call quality it useless.

tryed modems ea28 ec09 ed05

also. how to change white color in notification menu?

how to change white color in other menu?

i use it while driving at night and found it too bright sometimes. (solved render fx widget)

also, brightness reduced after 10-30 sec of inactivity, same thing was in stock 2.2 rom, but not it stock 2.1

by the way, best and most stable rom for fascinate 2.1 stock, but worth thing is 2.1
[Fascinate Android Development] alex6999:
And internet sip call tooooooo quite. Bluetouth not working or I didn't hear nothing

My voice in bad quality again

Renderfx not a solution. I probably need another theme I cheched couple, but still lots bright white
[Fascinate Android Development] critofur:
Is this the right one for "noob" to use w/Fascinate?

Sorry I was not sure where to post my question - will move if someone suggests I should...

I am currently running w/the official 2.2 [OTA] from Verizon (rooted). It's been a long long time since my last update to my phone and I thought that maybe 2.3 is finally available?

Is this a good (best?)/stable/features working update that I should put on my Fascinate?

I'm no longer w/Verizon, I'm using my phone with Page Plus Cellular, so I don't even know if Verizon might have pushed out 2.3 to Fascinates (I'm thinking not, though it's certainly past being about time they did so!) - if there was an "Official" 2.3 for my phone, I might start with that if I could download it somewhere (since I can't OTA any longer)...
[Fascinate Android Development] icemanwbs:
I would use the guide DROIDSTYLE has. It's super easy.
[Fascinate Android Development] alex6999:
When you close to Canadian border beware, roaming indicator may not pop-up. Also it still say Verizon wireless instread of extended network. About phone menu says roaming. I am on us+Canada plan, it should say extended network for me.

Bluetouth double tap not working

If I remove or insert audio plug during call, I need to press speaker- bluetouth- bluetouth to make bluetouth working again

I'm trying to flash cm7 on my newly rooted facinate and i am having problems.

I am using rom manager, used it to load cwm, just like I did on my incredible. And then problems start arising.

1. Under the download roms section, there are only six roms to choose from, none being cm7 and all being quite old.

2. If I download the zip right from cyanogens site or here, it fails to load in recovery.

I get the following messages when I try to flash cm7.

Install from package

Finding update package

Opening update package

Verifying update package

E:failed to verify whole-file signatufe

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Any insight or help would be most appreciated!

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
Either refer to the cm7 wiki in op or my guide in general section. you need cwm4 to flash mtd roms such as cm7.

[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
yes glitch v13rc kernel or jt's latest 3finger fix kernel...both have made gps awsome. I get a lock normally in 10sec with 5-10ft accuracy from inside my house! only issue I have found is sometimes you have to toggle it off/on like wifi.
[Fascinate Android Development] rock7632:
I can't seem to find the 3 finger fix and the glitch v13 I found says its for TELUS only. I have the Fascinate for Verizon. Can you give me a link?
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
the glitch v13 is release canidate right now and will cost 5.00 for the app from market, until the free version is released. the three finger kernel link is down. I have it saved, I could email it to ya...check jt1134 twitter and see if you can find it there first.
[Fascinate Android Development] rock7632:

For me this happens when:

1. I accidentally have wifi on and I'm not connected to a network

2. Someone is texting me a bunch and the modem gets stuck in 1x

3. I'm in a low signal coverage area
[Fascinate Android Development] SeanFloyd:
Well I rarely use wifi because it doesn't usually bring up menu for local connections right away, I do get a lot of texts but when I lose signal I am browsing with 3g then signal goes dead.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
This makes it sound like there is a possibility that you have wifi turned on but you are not connected to a wifi network.

Is wifi turned on in settings? If so, turn it off when you aren't using it.
[Fascinate Android Development] SeanFloyd:
Nope wifi is off in settings. I am not getting a regular ringtone either. Lol just s vibrate then plays music off of my hard drive. Wont play selected ringtone from settings. Lol
