[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Welcome to the fascinate forums ej, I too came from an incredible not too long ago so here's a couple things that should help you out.

First, you do not need to root to flash a rom/recovery/whatever. Samsung apparently leaves the security pretty wide open so you're free to flash an alternate recovery in odin then flash the rom of your choice from there. This was a weird concept for me coming from the incredible, and I think a lot of people just assume that you need to root before flashing roms (as that's how it is with moto, HTC, etc) but that's not the case.

I don't know if you prefer stock or AOSP roms, on the stock front, I think there's Superclean, Geewhiz, and TSM resurrection. These should be quite stable stock-ish roms that don't have the bugs that AOSP roms do. AOSP roms (ICS/MIUI/CM7/TSM PoolParty) on the fascinate use a different and faster filesystem (MTD). I can't really comment on any roms but MIUI/CM7/ICS as that's all I've ever used personally. The AOSP bugs that I've run into (currently on CM7) are data issues - data will occasionally drop out requiring airplane mode toggle, or will get stuck on 1x after sending/receiving SMS. Also there's a weird thing where the earpiece volume during calls will default to a high volume (just requires a quick volume adjustment or tasker script). I don't always notice this happening though.

I'll probably think of more later on, those are just the ones that come to mind at the moment. Hope this helps.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:
I saw you on these forums earlier and recognized you right away, I remember you from the Incredible forums for sure.

Thanks for the help, you answered many of my questions! A few more though...

Is the volume bug with all ROM's or just with certain ones?

How would you rate this phone against the Incredible, and can I use Mesmerize ROM's too? Would you recommend Froyo for this phone or Gingerbread?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
The volume bug is something that I've read is an issue with all MTD roms (CM7/MIUI/ICS), but in my experience, I've only noticed it a couple times, and I've only been on MTD roms since I got this phone a month or two ago. What I'm trying to say is, it's a pretty minor concern for me, but I don't actually talk on the phone all that much.

IMO, this phone is a nice upgrade coming from the incredible. Not galaxy nexus-like nice upgrade, but still, considering I sold my incredible for what I paid for the fascinate, it was totally worth it. One of the big things you'll notice coming from the incredible is the screen. I had an AMOLED incredible, and the SAMOLED on the fascinate is *much* better. You get a little more screen real estate (3.7" vs 4") and the display itself is just much more vibrant and closer to the actual glass part of the touchscreen that you interact with. Also, with voodoo color, you can tweak the display exactly to your liking, which is something I've definitely enjoyed being able to do.

Also, if you use your phone as a media player, you will love the WM8994 DAC used in the Galaxy S line. It sounds absolutely amazing paired with the voodoo control (app that lets you tweak sound and display) - considerably better than any ipod I've tested it side-by-side against. The audio quality alone will make it hard for me to upgrade, considering the DACs used in the newer generation devices like the Nexus or Galaxy SII are actually inferior to the one used in the original Galaxy S phones.

There is one downgrade coming from the incredible though, and that's the RAM (384MB vs 512MB), but I haven't run into any situation yet where the RAM was insufficient to do what I wanted to do. Also, if you're in to tweaking kernel things, you can do MUCH more with the kernels on this device compared to the incredible.

I'm not sure about mesmerize roms, I don't think you could use them on the fascinate unless they were modified. Are there any mes-specific roms you've seen that aren't available on the fascinate? As far as froyo vs GB, I can't really comment on that either since I've only used GB/ICS. Now that I think of it, aside from stock roms, I haven't seen any froyo roms around. But that's probably because I got the phone right around when GB finally officially came out for it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:
After spending some time with this phone I have some issues with it...

1. Lowest in-call volume is TOO HIGH!

2. Headset buttons don't work other than pause, play, answer, and end. (GAY!)

3. When I end a call and hit the power button to turn the screen off, it comes back on! (with Widget Locker) regular lock works fine to keep the screen off after a call. Hmm

4. Music playback doesn't seem to sound right. (sounds tinny)

5. Volume buttons turn the screen on! (What the hell?)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
.

try flashing the glitch v13.1 kernel, should help with in call volume...thats if your currently on a mtd rom. If your running a TW rom, then use the kgb kernel and use terminal to adjust call volume settings.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
1. I'm on glitch kernel and it's fine for me. You can also customize all sorts of volumes but I've just left em at the default.

2. What other functions are besides play, pause, answer/end aren't working? Track skipping? I have a pair of headphones with inline controls and nothing works on MTD roms for me, so your already a bit ahead of the curve in comparison.

3. Sounds like something with widgetlocker, not necessarily the phone.

4. Adjust settings in Voodoo control if you need. Music sounds *amazing* with my setup. I personally delete DSPmanager and just use VC.

5. This is something that can be turned on or off with CM7/MIUI. You didn't say what rom or kernel you're using so it's kinda hard to help.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:
Oh yeah, I totally forgot to tell you what ROM I'm using.

I'm on the Geewiz 2.3 Gingerbread ROM and kernel because I always like some goodies but I try to stay as close to stock as possible for stability reasons. I know the volume issue is with Widgetlocker but it didn't do that on the Dinc so, I have to have something to blame right? Ha...

Do the US Cellular Mesmerize phones have the same issues as our phones? Ya know like the headset control, in-call volume too high and all that?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Oh I gotcha, does the kernel you're using support voodoo sound? If not, I'd try out another one that does and then check out your music. And yes, I think the issues that are common to the phone affect the fascinate/mesmerize/showcase since they're essentially the same phone. I don't know much about touchwiz roms, but I'd suggest looking into a kernel with more features, you might be able to tweak those things that you're having an issue with.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkuehl06:
I have a guide to kernels for eh03 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459905 all 3 tw kernels have voodoo sound as of latest updates iirc
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:
I tried the KGB kernel and it has an option to boost in-call volume but nothing to lower it. The tinny sound issue was my inline remote I use for the headphones, it had a faulty volume slider that needed some cleaning. Thanks for all your help!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:
Oh okay, I thought all theses issues were probably software issues with Verizon's ROM/kernel. Yes, Geewiz kernel supports voodoo.

Can you help please?

Thanks and sorry for my english :(

You could try a manual update to 4.0.2.

But attention, you will loose all data, pictures, contacts, apps etc.

Factory 4.0.2 Builds and tools for installing them can be found here:

also wondering the same..since SGS II has their ICS leaked testing firmware with video call, can that be ported to SGS I......
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rax22:
3G calling isn't included as part of AOSP, it's added by Samsung as part of their customization.

Not sure what is required to port it, might be dependent on a part of Touchwiz. Some people are working on getting TW framework running on ICS. You might get lucky in the future.
[Galaxy S II General] bitmappp:
Usually when you sync your events in the google calendar to your android, ONLY the last 30 events would show up. After all the researches and experiments that I did. I finally come up with a solution to the problem.

1. In P.C. edit the existing events from the oldest to the latest events in google calendar. You don't need to edit each event completely, it would also work by just putting punctuation marks in the tittle of the event or adding text to "where, description" box.

2. Sync it to the phone (Check if the edited events appeared).

3. Export P.C. google calendar (close google calendar then open it again, wait several seconds).

4. Delete all calendar entrees make sure that the file you downloaded is not corrupted, *.ics inside(close google calendar then, wait several seconds).

5. Create a new event.

6. Turn-off then on your phone.

7. Sync your phone calendar (goto system settings-> Account & sync-> press on sync Calendar), in you phone you will see 1 latest event.

8. Now, Import the *.ics file, that was exported from step 3

9. repeat step 7.

Done! All your events is now sync to your phone.

A simple way

Absolutely Amazing!!!

After days looking for a solution for this stupid error on Android to sync with Android's father (Google) I finally found something really helpfull.

The instruction was very nice, but I did it through a very simple way (with your tips, of course!).

1. I set my cellphone (SIII) to a older date, as 01/2005;

2. I put punctuation in all my calendar entries;

3. Just sync your calendar;

4. Set automatic date and time;

5. Sync again.

One more time. Nothing without your help. Thanks a lot!!

hello to all

I am disgusted with my xperia ray because it has not automatic flash and tried to find a solution.

With this library of an xperia arc options are enabled: auto, red eye, fill flash and off, but the flash does not work.

Any ideas?

the route is "/system/lib"

Sorry for my bad English
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] 19alchemist78:
dude mo matter what you do it will not flash because Xperia Ray camera hardware don't have a Flash, its only a Photo Light. The closest thing for a Ray to have its camera Flash a light is to use a Strobe app, other than that it will only light up because it has only a Photo LED light.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jorgespv:
Then the xperia ray will not have automatic flash in future updates?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] 19alchemist78:
none. it takes pretty descent shot anyway without the Flash
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
To think about it, yeah it's funny that Ray does not have flash led. But as far as i can tell, i haven't used the flash all this time and i still like the quality of low light capture photo. the ExMor does good manner for this phone. Only thing that is usable about the flash is to run a torch app so i can walk in the dark night.. :D

Well, would be nice if somebody can hack this and generate a flash working module. But i won't count on it too much.. :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KristianKenneth:

Yes it works but is not syncronized with the autofocus and it only turns on the led on and off fast is not a Real flash light i'm sure there is a way to simulate the real flash light editing some rows in the camera App.apk config file if some genius in here has some time can try that and give us a feedback.

Hello everyone I am also investigating how to put in automatic fash, it is true that the application of the arc chamber that is jjdoctor posting much faster, but it just showing the photo light only, I think it has to be something related to the libraries for the camera, which are "/ system / lib" if someone had an arc of libraries could try to replace them and see what happens.

These libraries would be:

Libcald_pal.so

Libcamera.so

Libcamera_client.so

Libcameralight.so

libcameraservice.so

libcameraextensionjni.so

libcameraextensionclient.so

Remember to be an arc

i replaced some files with ray files one by one

1st.Libcameralight.so - 4 extra opions, no no led light

2nd.Libcamera.so- 4 extra opions, no led light

3rd.Libcald_pal.so - normal on&off opions, led light working

4th. i replaced Libcameralight.so & Libcamera.so back with arc s files - normal on&off opions, no led light

5th. i replaced Libcameralight.so back to ray - normal on&off opions, led light working

think someone should check out Libcald_pal.so & Libcameralight.so

hope this helps
