[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Looks like I'm flashing back to darkys this weekend, possibly trying that new jw4 base. I'm tired of having crappy battery life, seems to be going downhill the last 2 weeks or so, not sure if it has anything to do with the kernel or not, but it's driving me nuts I can no longer last a full day without charging it, no matter if I use it or not. Has anyone tried that jw4? Or even Weui? How's that running for you guys?

Sent from my Telus Fascinate running OneCosmics ICS!
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
How much battery life are you looking for? My ICS is 12 to 20 hours but I'm a heavy user. That's what I got on Darky's as well.

</not an iPhone>
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
I'm just looking to get a day out of it where I don't have to recharge it after lunch when I haven't turned the screen on for hours. I go to work for 7, and it seems by 2 pm it needs a charge.

Sent from my Telus Fascinate running OneCosmics ICS!
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Wow. That happened to me last week. I installed better battery stats and exchange was the culprit.

I'm sitting right now at 64% after about 10 hours and I used the phone light to heavy all day.

</not an iPhone>
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Well I'll install that and see what happens before I completely jump ship. If not, then I'll have to try that Weui. Looks pretty sweet.....

Sent from my Telus Fascinate running OneCosmics ICS!
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Yeah, WEUI is on my wishlist too and almost did it last weekend when I was having the same issues as you but removing and adding exchange back in cured me.

59% now after about 13 hours.

</not an iPhone>
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Looks like exchange is the culprit for me as well. How did you remove and reinstall it?

Sent from my Telus Fascinate running OneCosmics ICS!
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Running weui for a while now and you are correct it is sweet.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Just remove the account (accounts and sync) and then let it run a bit without it, then reset up the account.

PM me if you want.

[Fascinate General] cash2387:
JP could you test out your MMS messaging and see if yours works? The only thing different is that Im running the I9000XXJVU Modem.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Testing now - sending to a friend with an iPhone.

Selected a picture, converted it to MMS, and now stuck at 'sending' ... will let it go and check in a bit later.

UPDATE: I would say that it does not work and is stuck at send. I don't use it (MMS) but now I'll look for a fix cause that just bugs me LOL

UPDATE AGAIN: So helps if I have data on - doesn't work on WiFi only - message sent - and received. AOK.

Maybe try the modem I'm using.
[Fascinate General] cash2387:
Awesome, Im also checking in the Darky fourms, they have an ICS thread but it looks like its something people dont use to notice.

Also trying to throw the question out the ICSSGS IRC Chat, but no one is talking, just sitting idle.

Try getting them to send you one too...It should arrive but the message would be blank. I think I might call Telus and just ask for the hell of it. I know they cant support it but maybe its something with the APN settings.

On Darky's it set to "internet + mms" and that doesnt work on this ROM.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
So I can send for sure - see my update.

UPDATE: And I received an MMS - no problem what so ever.

Switch the telus modem in my sig perhaps - easy flash :)
[Fascinate General] cash2387:
If this turns out to be a modem issue I feel like its a face palm here lmao...Where did you get the Modem your using now? Trying to find it and no luck.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Perkas file stash - in the 850 directory for ICS I9000 modems.
[Fascinate General] cash2387:
So I downloaded the file and rebooted into Recovery. Now when flashing that I get an error as seen in the screenshot.. Weird :S

UPDATE: Might help if I downloaded the right modem...Face Palm...
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I was going to ask you to send me that screenshot as an MMS ;)

No worries, I felt the same way when I was trying to test without data on (I shut data off when on wifi and vice versa when on data).

Totally curious how you make out so let us know - I do REALLY like that modem and I was hardcore KC1 on GB -TLJ3 works wonderfully and I tested Easter Weekend on the way through to Cape Breton (the sticks!) and had data the whole way.

Let me know.
[Fascinate General] cash2387:
So I tested the MMS messaging after flashing that modem you have. And still not working. I've attached a screenshot of what I see on my side. The bottom message at 5:06PM should be a picture message but it came through as blank

I'll have to test around Halifax and see what the signal is like with this modem. Out here working in Bedford its okay, but this office building doesn't give me good reception unless its Rogers :p
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
PMed you.

[Fascinate General] cash2387:
Stuck in sending now......:confused::mad:

Crap...Can you give me the SMSC number...I just screwed mine up.

To get it you go to the dialer and type in *#*#4636*#*# and go to phone information and then hit refresh on your SMSC.

[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Thanks Buck - looks sharp!

I'm thinking they removed the softkeys for the I9000 as they'd be redundant and take up space - nice to see really!

So you are preferring this over MIUI and CM then?

Sent from T959D running Miui
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
for sure. It runs as good if not better. To call it bata is not giving it the credit it deserves. Its going to get better I am sure as time goes on.
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Thanks buck, I'm definitely wanting to try this install now! Where did you download the v13 glitch kernel? I looked through that thread and couldn't find the link.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
The v13 kernel is only for miui not the ics ROM, thought I would clarify that.

what are you currently running?

This is the link though

Glitch-V13-DEV-TelusFascinate+

From the yummiest t959d I have ever seen
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
I'm still on darkys 10.2.2. With all this talk about ICS, I definitely want to try it, your screenshots got me drooling lol. The reason I asked about v13 was cuz you mentioned earlier that you installed that kernel when you installed the latest beta.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
not using the v13 with the bata, it was only to install miui. the v11 in the how to thread does not work.

Maybe I should edit that last post to make it easier to follow.

From the yummiest t959d I have ever seen
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Ahh gotcha. So then I would just install CM7 from the walkthru you posted, and then carry on with the install of the beta?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
That is 100% correct.
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Did you have any probs restoring your EFS partition when you installed cm7?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
You can skip that step. I forgot to mention that, I will update the post thankx for the reminder
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Lol no worries! I'm just asking questions cuz I don't want to miss anything when I do it! :)
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Updated the step by step so you don't need to jump from thread to thread. Happy flashing :)

From the yummiest t959d I have ever seen
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Thanks bud! I'll have to try this tonight! Be prepared for lots of questions lol ;)
[Fascinate General] OweninOttawa:
I spent hours trying to get this working. Jumping from thread to thread. This should really help. Thank you bucknetbucky for your efforts.

So quick question if you don't mind???

If I'm running MIUI 1.11.25 (didnt like 1.12.xx ver) with Glitch v13 can I jump to Stage 4.0. What prep would you suggest (other than the backups and wipe data/factory, cache and dalvik). This install originated with Froyo 2.2.

I must have done this 3 or 4 times Saturday from Froyo 2.2 but either ended up in the Splash screen loop or Black screen (now wondering if I didn't wait long enough) :o
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
It is possible that you needed to wait. The other way is to flash the rom again with the full wipe and wait for it to boot. Some have had to reflash a few times before it came up. I am at work at the moment so anymore issues I will reply when I get home (abut 5:30 EST)
[Fascinate General] OweninOttawa:
That would be much appreciated. The re-flash is a problem. I can't seem to get into recovery by using the Up Volume + Home + Power method. I'll give it a go. :confused:
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
It is volume up + volume down + power for our phone;)
[Fascinate General] OweninOttawa:
That doesn't seem to want to work either. Tried releasing power at the Galaxy S (initial screen) and when Galaxy S flashes (2nd time) ... HELP!:eek:

LOL
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Can you get to download mode? Almost home then I will have a pc

From the yummiest t959d I have ever seen
[Fascinate General] cash2387:
I know this is really odd...But i just screwed up my SMSC. Just for the record, wiping and even re-flashing the ROM doesnt bring that back.:eek:

So i tested with a co-worker who has Stock ICS on his Sony. And it worked...I sent one back and it worked..
[Fascinate General] cash2387:
So after all that yesterday I got a few people to MMS me and they all worked...So what would be wrong with my fiencee's device:confused:
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Wacky - up till now though we've been trouble shooting YOUR phone, and not hers :)

That being said, you said her settings was the same as yours - maybe next step to just ensure its her phone, is for her to do MMS to someone else's phone and see how that behaves. That will at least narrow it down for sure.
[Fascinate General] cash2387:
Thats the next step for sure. I'll have to take a look and see whats what on hers. Shes running Darky's 10.4.2. Could be something as simple as clearing the data in the messages app or could be something else all together.

Either way I'll let ya know, thanks for the help yesterday. I was beginning to go a bit batty.:p
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Anytime :) let us know how it goes. The results of these types of things helps us all with troubleshooting for sure.

[Fascinate General] jurassic512:
How did you get GKG3 on your T959D? I get aborted status 0 when i tried on mine.

xxJTV flashed successfully (was on xxJTU), but it does not show in About Phone. Am I right in saying it will only show if done via Odin?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Flashed it in recovery. ensure you have the right version for your version of android.
[Fascinate General] OweninOttawa:
Don't rush on my account. When you have a minute though, pls help!

Yes I can get to download mode. Not worried about bricking, I rebuilt this puppy several times over the weekend trying to get ICS to work. Can't seem to get the hang of booting into recovery. I want the yummy T959d...
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
OK First thing have you tried to remove the battery first for a bit then put it back and try recovery again? If not try that and you want to let the buttons go just before it gets to the kernel screen.

PM me from this point it will be easier for everyone that is reading the post lol
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Congratulations you are on ICS. I know this cause we spent 4 hours on video chat flashing this and getting everything working. I updated the step by step for everyone and it takes far less time to get up and running. No need to flash cm7 or MIUI anymore (See post 41 I think it is or link from the OP).

COME ON WHO WANTS THE ICE CREAM!!!
[Fascinate General] mixtapes08:
congrats buck your a part of ics community now ^_^

In ics almost all functions are really fast.

Try ICS it is the best Rom i ever had CM9 user here ^_^

Dude I want ice ice-cream!!! What's your hourly rate for tech support ;)

Actually, seriously, what's the rate? :)

[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
So the first time you install ICS and you get the colored X boot screen, that could take up to 10 minutes to boot up? Or should I wait longer? I just flashed it so I dont want to stop it early in case it was actually doing what it needed to do.

EDIT: Waited for 10 minutes, nothing, but rebooted into recovery and was greeted with a blue CwM so it installed that! Re-did the wipes, reinstalled the ROM and waited, and I'm now on ICS! WOOO, WTG Buck, you da man! :)

EDIT: Been playin around with it, and its very nice. However theres a couple of small issues i'm dealin with, not sure how to fix them. When i get phone calls i can't seem to accept them cuz the slider is too far to the bottom of the screen. How do you fix that? And how do i re-root this device?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Congrats and welcome aboard!!!

you can grab the slider for incoming calls just make sure you slide to the right. It is cut off at the moment and waiting for the fix (or I might tear it apart myself and see if I can find it)

Reboot well, long press the power button and you should get reboot as an option (as long as you flashed the optional rom and kernel)

Anymore questions let me know

Buck
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
OK cool. I seen your post on the beta thread asking about that same issue. Hope they fix for that soon. And reboot? I asked about re-root! Lol Its OK though, I got it figured out. This is one pretty amazing rom, I have to admit!
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
LOL my bad I thought it said reboot and I was like WHAT! LOL sorry glad to here it is all good for you
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Do you know if there is a way to install the extended power menu?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:

I'll have to flash that later this afternoon. Have you had any problems with battery drain? I've been using my phone every now and then over the last couple of hours and I'm down to 50% left, and the phone has been awake for the last 2 with the screen off. Have you ran into this?

Sent from my T959D running ICS Beta 2!
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Yes but I still get a day out of it. This has been an issue for a long time with CM7 and others.

So I flashed that alternative rom you posted last night, no dice. Can't receive phone calls, and only sends half the time. so I just restored back to this version. Seems to work way better anyways, it's not like I can't get to recovery through the buttons anyways :) thanks buck for your help

Hi Op, thanks a lot for all the instructions, I will try it out later.

One dumb question, my telus fascinate is on android 2.3, do I need to root my phone first before following your steps posted?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
That is a known issue with that ROM. Download xda app from the market and then get the files from there. Make sure you are on wifi though cause they are big.

I am just wondering if it is possible to flash Darky Rom 9.2 instead of Froyo 2.2 before installing this rom? The reason why I asked is because I hard bricked my phone last time i tried to do that...If I can flash Darky Rom 9.2, that will be perfect :D
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
The last time someone tried this method (not mentioning any names but you know who you are lol) it did not work. The forsure way would be to flash back to stock 2.2.

I have done it numerous times with the files I posted and never had an issue.

Buck
[Fascinate General] MysticDeth:
Thanks bud...One more question? How long should tit take flash back to froyo? Just so I know how long to wait before its finished :) Thanks :D

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

I am downloading the stock 2.2 files from this thread...Wish me luck :D
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Wait until ODIN shows the green "PASS" before unplugging the phone. Can't say for sure how long it will take as all devices and PC's are different. Let it go and it will finish as long as you follow the steps exactly as they are listed.
[Fascinate General] MysticDeth:
It has been sitting at the DO NOT TURN Off TARGET SCREEN for a few minutes and nothing is happening :(...I followed the steps exactly as was posted :(

should i unplug my phone? I guess I have no choice now :(

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

Ok so i waited 15 minutes and nothing was happening so I quickly unplugged my phone and reflashed Darky Rom 10.2 via Odin and was successful :D PHEW
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Mystic what are you trying to install?
[Fascinate General] MysticDeth:
I was trying to install the Telus Fascinate stock 2.2 rom so I can install ICS....I am drooling at the screen shots and wanting a sweet piece of ICS lol
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
What ROM are you coming from? Stock GB?
[Fascinate General] MysticDeth:
I am coming from Darky Rom 10.2(Gingerbread) Rom :)
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Hmm... I'm not too familiar with 10.2, but i know with 10.2.2 i was easily able to revert back to froyo without any probs. What exactly did you do?
[Fascinate General] MysticDeth:
I followed bucknetbucky's steps exactly....and then ran into the issue of it basically doing nothing while flashing in odin...Now I am afraid to flash stock 2.2 again :(
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
If you are using ODIN to flash the Darky you need to be careful that you are getting the proper files for the stock flash.I had that issue where it was grabbing the wrong PIT file. Make sure when you pick the files they all come from the stock folder (navigate the directories to make sure).
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Alright so when you pressed start on odin, there was nothing happening on the screen? odin wasnt pushing any files over?

Edit: Nothin against you buck, but Mystic when i do ANY flashing, i always re-read this post to make sure i dont miss anything. I think it has lots of good information in it.
[Fascinate General] MysticDeth:
It wasnt pushing any files, just hanging there not doing a thing...A few days ago I had to buy a non Samsung USB data cable becuase the one that came with the phone is not working...Do you think this could be the problem?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
YUP could be. I tried a blackberry cable once and it did not work for me.
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Yeah i would say thats the problem. I cant even charge the phone properly if i use another charger, say the blackberry one. So get another one, or figure out whats wrong with the original :)
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Battery Consumption

Hey all this an update on the battery consumption with this ROM. I now it aint great so I figured I would try a few things and see what happens.

What I did...

Disabled the gallery app and installed quickpic from the market instead. I removed Maps 6 from the device and turned off all the auto sync for google. Left Wifi off when I left the house and was not in a Wifi area and left data on. Pretty drastic I know but it's a beta

Where I am at...

10hrs 6min 29sec and I still have 69% left on the battery. Used it as I would on a regular day (text, a couple calls and check the web a bit). Android OS is still sitting at 32% of the usage which seems high but this is far better then what I got the day before.

What I am going to do...

I will be turning on the google sync and see what happens for the same period.

More to come..
