[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexNC75:
I am currently running CM7 nightlies on my Incredible and it is running flawlessly. With that said, my brothers wife has had a terrible time with her stock Facinate on Verizon. I would like to install CM7 on her phone since I have had such a good experience with it on my Incredible.

How is CM7 on the Facinate? Any issues/limitations? Any certain build or kernel suggestions?

Thanks!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ5150:
I ran CM7 for about 2 weeks. It's stable, which is a good thing. I like the themes option.. but for me.. it just wasn't fast enough.. don't get me wrong, it's quick and responsive, and it does not lag... my speed concerns is after bootup or reboot... it seems to take forever for everything to load and run right. Also, I found the Market (which is only available via seperate flash) lost it's connection more than once, and I had to reboot several times to get it to work.

This is the main reason I dumped CM7 for the Fascinate. I need my stuff to work.. plain and simple.

I went back to stock froyo ED05 2.2.2, then updated through VZN update to Gingerbread 2.3.5. Then Rooted the phone using superuser.zip below. I ODIN'd CWM Recovery, and flashed SU to root (see attachments) and then flashed the KGB Kernel located here. (The lastest is 12.12, but I don't like it as much as the 11.27 version.. maybe it's the smiley face boot screen that got me)

I couldn't ask for a better setup. Running ADW Launcher EX... smooth as a babies bottom and everything works as it should.

I hope this help you mate.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uzumaki82:
If she doesn't know what CM7 is I wouldn't install it for her. Last I checked, there are still some issues. Phantom ring is one where you get a loud ringtone in the earpiece after you answer a call every now and then. When I was running it, I had to toggle airplane mode sometimes to get back 3G data. It's mostly very functional but there are little things like that.

For a non power user just go with the EH03 debloated ROM or maybe superclean.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
CM7 with glitch kernel v13 runs pretty much flawless for me. Imo its the fastet setup you can put on the fascinate right now(when its setup correctly)...pool party is another good one. I have tried every current rom/kernel and I keep coming back to this setup. I do prefer go launcher ex over the adw, w/ ICS theme. Up until 2 months ago TW was all I ran because mtd roms still had some bugs. Now that MTD is fully functional it was a no brainer to make the switch!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblaw1:
He could also Odin the EH03 based Geewiz (which is a debloat of stock EH03 with nothing added) or flash Superclean 3 which is a debloat + a bit more. Either way he will get a rooted setup nearly identical to yours with a lot less steps and no super slow OTA download. =)

As for your reports on CM7...that is a bit strange. CM7 is almost universally considered faster and more responsive than the Touchwiz releases. Personally, I preferred Sbrisens Pool Party when I used a mtd ROM which can be found over at rootzwiki. And while I'm on the subject of rootz, Awesome Sauce is another excellent Touchwiz based ROM if you would prefer to stay on something gcloser to Samsung's releases.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexNC75:
Thanks for all the suggestions!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ5150:
I actually took your advice on this one as well. I'm now running CM7.1 Stable with Glitchv13 kernel. It seems to run a lot more stable with the glitch kernel... so far so good.

I also bounce between Go Launcher, adw, LLP, and the Espier (iphone)... lol Thanks agian.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uzumaki82:
Has the phantom ring been fixed? I actually switched to MIUI and glitch v13 last week and haven't seen it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tone_Capone:
Not from my experience. I am running the latest nightly and still get phantom ring every now and again. Its a small price to pay for the features added from this great ROM!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AaronCompNetSys:
I got the phantom ring running CM7.2 RC0, Glitch13.

Have to have Glitch for the in-call volume bug.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fstbusa:
+1 mine works awesome Except for the occasional phantom ring

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AaronCompNetSys:
The phantom ring is getting so bad that I'm going to have to ditch CM7. I can't have my phone stuck phantom ringing when on silent during business meetings.

This is ridiculous, someone please help.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamchrisc:
As much as I love all the features, it's pretty annoying when a phantom ring goes off in class
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Are you guys using the stock kernel or glitch? I honestly don't know if there are any changes in the glitch kernel that would effect phantom rings, but I only had one phantom ring in my time on CM7 (using glitch).
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AaronCompNetSys:
I'm coming from every version of glitch including test. They never went away. Trying CM7.2 RC kernel as my last chance.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baderkadonk:
if CM7 isnt snappy enough for you i would definitely recommend OMGB, I used that for awhile and it was great.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AaronCompNetSys:
I'm on TSM Resurrection, with KGB. Amazing battery life compared to stock and CM7. Zero issues so far except BLN that gets stuck on.

I have no idea why CM7 is so pitiful on the Fassy.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
cm7 was far from pitiful...cm9 poops on touchwiz.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ5150:
Yeah but stuff doesn't work like in cm7 the latest gapps don't offer Google voice or voice to text from the keyboard. I believe I had the same issues with cm9... along with lags and freezes. I'd go to cm7 in a heartbeat if I can get the voice text work in SMS. Just imho
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
I am raising the BS flag on this post! I had TTS working flawless on makelegs cm7.2 skang and have it working flawless on glitched aokp 35.1...matter of fact its worked since the early THS builds.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sageDieu:
agree with droidstyle, tts works perfectly fine for me on cm7 and ics, and google voice has never been included in gapps, it is a market app, so that is not a valid argument.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pypen:
I was wondering, if its my phone or does anyone else have the same problem?

- All the vibrate notifications are turned on (global, GMail, Google Voice etc).

- In ~ 50% of the cases my phone won't vibrate.

- Sometimes it vibrates just fine

I already had to change my phone once because of pixel problems. I really hope, its just a SW problem...

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Are you already using your phone? I find it tends to not vibrate if you are already in the app that is getting the notification
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pypen:
Nope. Its on my desk, screen off, or in my pocket.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Euclid's Brother:
My wife has a photon (stock never rooted) and recently been having trouble adding new contacts. After adding a new phone contact, it doesn't show in the list. However, if she goes to the phone and types in the number, it shows the contact name. So we know the contact is there, but can't see it in the list.

Anyone know what might be happening here?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
Go to contacts: Menu --> Display Options --> under "Choose contacts to display", press the option for your google account, and select all of them.

By default, only "My Contacts" is selected.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Euclid's Brother:
Yep, that was it.. Thanks!

There were three options under google and one of them, that had no label to the left, was the culprit. I checked it, and several of her new hidden contacts showed up.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xXxDieselxXx:
News to me. I didn't know the Prime had a vibrator. :eek:

No seriously :D. I know the TF101 doesn't have it but wow! Every day I learn something new about the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] banderling:
I really want to say, "I think that's your mom."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChristoA1:
Lol

It definitely has a vibrator... in fact, I forgot the first one didn't! However, mine makes a sound for a half-second when the vibrator runs up... once it's on, no problem... definitely a defect, but there's no way in hell I'm sending it in any time soon, haha
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
Oh this is just ripe for jokes....

I don't know...ask your wive if that's normal :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andyxover:
are you referring to the haptic response? I think it's normal, it's an feedback that tells you you've performed certain task, such as turning on the device. I don't think it's an defect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mletchworth:
Look under settings -> Sounds

You can probably turn off haptic feedback, or at least turn down the intensity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrokeefe:
Yeah yeah to the noise....where'd you get the tf201!?!?

from the thread title alone,

this could find itself being the XDA thread with the most views in a few weeks. :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChristoA1:
Har har har, guise.... (Ok, so I was kinda expecting that reaction...)

The noise definitely is some sort of defect in my unit. I bought it through Amazon, and they have that awesome Advanced Replacement program, it just make take a while to get one to me (est. Jan 24 - Feb 7) ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Expliciate:
Just to add on, my TF201 hasn't seem to come across this issue.

Maybe it's just your unit. :|
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hbk19:
I'm not sure about your problem (probably just a case of the haptic feedback being a little strong), but your sig makes me jealous. I probably won't be getting my Prime until February. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChristoA1:
That's definitely my guess... It's not crippling, but I don't feel bad at all about swapping it out.

I created a Vocaroo example... You can barely tell what the hell I'm saying, but the vibrate issue is pretty clear.

http://vocaroo.com/?media=vxpkSyWYSkavstwQu

The first buzz is the vibrate fully on (sounds normal once it's going). The next is the vibrate turning on and off (you can hear the grinding every time it kicks on). At the end is when it's on almost full power, and you can hear it kind of struggle.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
yeah. does not help your a bit close to the mic. but yeah that does not sound right.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChristoA1:
It's something at the hardware level (it happens regardless of haptic feedback) :/

I *may* end up with two Primes if J&R comes through, so I may be a mensch and turn it around at cost to someone at XDA, or it may go on Craigslist for profit... Depends on my mood that day ;)

Most of my devices were free upgrades from a previous device, or I made enough money selling the previous one to cover the new one... I'm a cheap bastard, but if I can make money off CL, I'm on it :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChristoA1:
Hehe, after I recorded it and listened to it, I figured it was probably better no one could understand me ;)

We repairing an iphone once I didn't secure the little haptic motor correctly and it slightly brushed against the case making a louder than normal noise from it.

Probably a similar issue, something in assembly. It happens, get another and should be fine.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adampdx:
All jokes aside... I wasn't sure if haptic feedback was a feature on the Prime, so I'm happy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
Well, I dodged the other issues but I definitely have this one.

Sounds OK once it gets going, but home/menu/back haptic feedback sounds like somebody dragging a wrench through a scrapyard.

No idea what GS is going to tell me..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tbns:
My vibrator is working fine. I think your mom agrees. Oh snap!

No, seriously- no issues with the prime here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChristoA1:
Yup, that sounds like the issue... I have a feeling GS won't give you grief about swapping ... once they get more stock, lol

Talk to a manager and see what s/he says...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChristoA1:
Ya, looks like it's a rare issue... Only one other person reporting it so far...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
Gamestop has actually been very cool about it so far, manager called me back to investigate further after I called them to explain the situation. Apparently Asus is keen to hear about problems people are having and he's relayed my issue to a rep apparently. They want me to bring it in, although I'm not leaving it there until I get my replacement :)

Only question now is whether I get a special one off shipment which he indicated could happen or I get one of the January 11th shipment.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Postal76:
I'm having the same issue. The haptic feedback mechanism just seems broken, and it makes noise more than it vibrates. Only problem I've noticed so far.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChristoA1:
Thank you guys, I'm not crazy!

@fraeone: You think it'd do me any good to contact ASUS? Amazon's already going to replace it through their automated system, but if ASUS would be interested...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
yea mine just started doing it too...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
Seems like Amazon would be relating the same issues to Asus, so I would stay the course if I were you. It seems like historically retailers are the fastest way to a replacement, if you call Asus they're going to want to RMA it.

Sorry that there are now other folks having the problem, but it seems like this is an easy one to get a replacement for, it's pretty clearly not working right.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] markimar:
hmmm?

Mine is definately not doing that! Sounds like an old pager going off. Mines very soft....subtle....pleasing........ohh...ahhhh..... whoops! Sorry forgot where I was.:p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
sounds like duck quacking every time I type a letter...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
Just received my replacement from GS. They were super cool about it, had a replacement shipped without seeing the problem.

Not sure what the state of the new one is yet, still at the mall :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] droidx2.3.3:
Mine sounds alittle differentand louder than my droid x but not to bad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
Looks like the issue is fixed on my 2nd unit. Also looks like I no longer have any light bleed, so double awesome!

Haven't had a chance to see how he wifi/gps work yet. Hopefully just as well as they did on my 1st.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mywingtophone:
So the prime has a vibrator awesome, now i dont need to buy a double A battery!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skinien:
I have the issue too. My first thunderbolt had the same issue as well but the replacement did not. I think I'm going to wait until best buy has them in stock and exchange.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChristoA1:
Still about a month until Amazon is shipping a replacement... I could call ASUS, but I had SO. MUCH. TROUBLE. with the RMA process and my Transformer, that I'm perfectly fine just waiting it out...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:
Got the same problem... when you press home/back it make some noise and the vibration itself feel really "flubberish" if you know what I mean. It is not really as tight as my gs2.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChristoA1:
So 6 7 so far since launch, which isn't a terribly high number, but interesting nonetheless... Can't wait for my new one to get in [at the end of the month?]... And in other news, YAY for root! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Haven't cross-referenced all the names in this thread, but I started one without remembering this one. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428133

I think haptic feedback is all over the map in terms of 1) whether it's working at all 2) how well (weak or strong) and 3) how loud it is.

I'm getting a 3rd unit from Best Buy (just ordered today) to replace my Champagne that has a wonky haptic feedback and a Gray with really weak feedback and a rattle in one of the dock connectors, so we'll see how it goes. Hopefully that one will be without defect.

Works out okay, because I'm not 100% confident that I'd be getting a Champagne dock anytime soon anyways.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChristoA1:
In *theory* BLT should be shipping the first 200 preorders for champagne docks today... *crossing fingers*... Which means I may have the dock before I have the replacement tablet, lol.

Also, I found a dead pixel, so now I feel even more justified in getting the replacement! :O
