Well I can now provide some feedback on the speakerphone under CM10. It's the same as CM7 and CM9 - it's horrible and useless. The party on the other end can hear himself in an echo. On my end, all sounds just fine. Despite efforts to boost in-call volume (DSP), and adjust the speakerphone mic, while CM seems to be a really cool ROM, it just can't seem to address the speakerphone issue. With more and more laws being made to go hands-free while driving - speakerphone is a must. Besides, the devices are PHONES and whether the call is done through the internal earpiece or speaker, it should handle that one function as a minimum in my opinion.

I did some brief reading about MTD ROMS (as I've been told speakerphone is an issue with MTD ROMS), but I still just don't get it. MTD is a technology which uses a different partition size. I just don't get how it relates to speakerphone or why it prevents such from working. Have to go back to SuperClean (unless someone has another suggestion). I really like CM, but this one issue, just this one issue, prevents my use.
[Fascinate General] tbaddley:
Guess I've always used my phone with a Bluetooth headset, or just held it to my head. Didn't realize that there was a issue with the speakerphone.

speaker phone fix

if u goto setting,advanced go to in call volumes then to speaker phone mic lower it to 10 it clears the echo up done,that easy

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

yes on one of my showcases it does on my other it dont idk why,the one that works fine i used zedge for ringtone but dont know if that has any reason that it works better or not prolly just a fluke

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

like i posted b go to setting then advanced then incall volume then to speaker mic and lower to 10 that clears it up for both my phones on cm9 and cm10

Anybody try to apply the latest nightly (9/26) and get an error regarding partition layout?
[Fascinate General] Big ZD:
Yes, it's not really an error though. It's more of a warning that it needs to wipe all data to do the repartition (which has changed, for the last time I think). 9/26 and 9/27 are pretty flawless builds... Don't hesitate
[Fascinate General] gm2racer:
Thank god for Titanium Backup!
[Fascinate General] schilly:
No one has had the issue where the music players can't see your music and the gallery can't see their pix? I have been beating my brains out trying to find a fix...was on CM10 8/19 then on CM10 nightlies, did it on AOKP 9/27 as well! Ugh.
[Fascinate General] LasVegasRomeo:
i called verizon to have them reset my keys (data) and they asked the build number and info under settings/about phone. Anyone have the stock info handy?

Can they tell what software you currently have on your phone? i am not wanting to odin back to stock if i dont have too lol

Possible Error on 9/27 Nightly

Use Titanium Backup not Nandroid when upgrading to 9/27 (probably 9/26 too). Got stuck in a bootloop when I tried to restore my Nandroid (twice). Flashed to stock and then back to cm10 to fix. Boo :crying:
[Fascinate General] Crawshayi:
Nandroids won't work due to the new partition layout
[Fascinate General] njdan30:
Only way I got music player to see my music was to use Androzip or oi file manager go to each song (pain staking) open with Apollo I used tune wiki after it starts playing hit back button to repeat on next song then it should be fine next time you open player, as for pica I used quick pic
[Fascinate General] cgmcnama:
Re: Missing music

I use iSyncr to sync my songs and they show up in Apollo. Not sure why your music isn't showing up.
[Fascinate General] schilly:
Ya me either. I flashed MIUI v4 latest version and boom, there the music and pix all were! Went back to stock and worked up to AOKP milestone6 and all was good, stepped up to JB and poof...gone again. There's a lot of posts about this on other sites on XDA so I imagine it will get worked out eventually.
[Fascinate General] donluz:
not that easy

I appreciate the replies. I did write however "Despite efforts to boost in-call volume (DSP), and adjust the speakerphone mic..." I did indeed try that under advanced. My true goal is to get it working, not to complain about it. I really like CM other than that shortcoming.

And when you did it, did it clear up things on YOUR end or the CALLER's? Because when I used speakerphone, I could hear the caller fine, perfectly in fact and there was no echo on my end. It's on the caller's end.

I then lowered the speakerphone mic on my end starting at 1 and kept going up. At 1 the caller had no echo, but couldn't hear me at all. Went to 5 and so on and there was no point that 1) the caller could hear me without my shouting into the mic AND 2) there was no echo on their end.

I believe CM developers know about the speakerphone issue. I have been reporting it since v7 and as recently as this past July. Others have chimed in as well. Again, something about "well you'll get that with MTD ROMs..." and I still don't understand. My Fascinate works well with SuperClean and its speakerphone functionality is as perfect as Verizon's stock. I just yearn for a day that CM will allow it to work. I don't have or want to carry and charge a headset. :(
[Fascinate General] njdan30:
Yes it clears up the callers end up to ten after that echo comes back,I confirmed it with a few people on two different phones one running aokp milestone 6 and this one running cm10, for some reason the Mic comes on30 when you first flash these ROMs, that's just the easiest solution I can find
[Fascinate General] Crawshayi:
I just realized I never get notifications when I get a new voicemail... is this common? I don't think since I've been on ICS and onward that I have ever gotten one
[Fascinate General] Big ZD:
Me too. I just checked (I've been between cm10 and aokp) and I had 19 new voice mails. I would call this a bug/issue.
[Fascinate General] jt1134:
Message waiting indicator is disabled by default due to Verizon's buggy notification system. Just enable it in the dialer settings.
[Fascinate General] Big ZD:
That would definitely explain it. I checked aokp (because it's what I'm running at the moment) and that wasn't an option in dialer settings.

I truly apologize for adding to an unnecessary the scare. I have regularly had "no ring/missed calls/calls not showing up" issues on cm10 and AOKP. I immediately thought the lack of voicemails showing up was related. As always, thanks for the patience and clarity jt.
[Fascinate General] slaeyer:
Firstly, just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you've put into this rom! I'm using it on my SCH-i500 USCC Galaxy S! Working great! One issue I've noticed, and it's followed me regardless of phones / builds, is the inability to send / receive MMS messages. I've added my APN info, tried various apps, etc. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I'd love to get this fixed! Otherwise, all's well with this rom and it's my new daily driver!
[Fascinate General] jt1134:
Flash the builds designed for the mesmerize.
[Fascinate General] slaeyer:
IT WORKS!!!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!! Thanks so much!
[Fascinate General] brad560:
decided to flash the latest nightly tonight. good stuff! got sick of the stock rom finally lol
[Fascinate General] KneeDragr:
Just put this on my wife's phone last night. Anyone know a way to bring up recent apps? None of the hardware buttons does it. Also, media player is taking up a lot of battery, despite never using it. Any clue why?
[Fascinate General] hhp_211:
longpress of the homekey does it for me on Steves aokp 10/7 build
[Fascinate General] Crawshayi:
Anyone know if there's a way to get the notification lights to blink on the stock kernel? No matter what I set it to it just sticks to always on. I can get it to work on Devil, but not on stock.
[Fascinate General] tbaddley:
I upgraded to 4.12 at the end of last week. My favorite new feature added is the option to use the Circular icon for battery in the notification bar.

Stable, stable, stable. The only time I have to restart is to update my rom.
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
Which nightly for the Fascinate was the first to be on 4.1.2? I don't remember seeing anything in the change logs.
[Fascinate General] tbaddley:
It was the first one after a pretty long weekend. Right around Oct 11.

http://www.redmondpie.com/cyanogenmod-10-nightly-android-4.1.2-jelly-bean-now-available-to-download/
[Fascinate General] tbaddley:
Google Apps for CM10 nightlies

They've updated the Google Apps for Jelly Bean 4.1.2. Goo.im has the latest dated Oct 11, 2012:

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

BTW...I've been doing all my ROM updates without clearing anything, without any ill effects.

I typically use CM10 Downloader to download the latest rom to my SD card via WiFi. Then do a power down - Restart - Recovery.

I point to my CM10 download folder and apply the latest CM10 nightly update, then when that's finished, I point to my Google Apps file, and apply it. Reboot, let Android do it's "updating programs" thing, and you're done, with all settings/apps intact.

I post this for those people who may be reading, and still think (like I did for so long) that it requires that you wipe and start from scratch each time you want to apply one of these updates.
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
I tried doing the CM update once on 10/1 nightly. Afterwards I lost my Google account syncing and couldn't add it back. Haven't tried since.
[Fascinate General] gm2racer:
Reflash gapps...
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
I think I tried and it didn't help but can't remember. Do you have to do that after each nightly update?
[Fascinate General] Crawshayi:
If you update by simply clearing cache and davlik you shouldn't need to re-flash gapps, but if you do a data wipe then you need to re-flash. I haven't tried updating with the CM updater thing though, I always just download to my sd and flash in recovery...
[Fascinate General] tbaddley:
I have to re-flash GApps every time, before I even reboot from recovery mode after flashing the CM10 nightly. This is without clearing any cache or dalvik or wiping any data.
[Fascinate General] gm2racer:
Me too, which is why I suggested it. I let CM Updater update to the latest nightly, and immediately reboot (again) into recovery and flash gapps.

BTW, I tried the new 20121011 (4.1.2) gapps on my last update and the Gmail app failed to work. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling from Play Store.
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
Whenever I would see Gmail fail to load I just go into Manage Apps, clear data then launch it again. Usually that fixes it.
[Fascinate General] gm2racer:
Did that, but it still didn't work...
[Fascinate General] tbaddley:
I haven't had any problems applying or using the new Gapps package since it's release. I don't even reboot between applying the new CM10 nightly and applying the Gapps. Only after both have been flashed do I do a restart.
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
Something I'm wondering: in AOKP it has a setting under "ROM Control" >"Performance" that sets the minimum available memory. Does CM10 have that setting anywhere?
[Fascinate General] luke949:
Anyone else getting sod on the recent nightlies? Running stock kernel and clean install
[Fascinate General] alexmawdsley:
This is currently a really useless thread for it being such a popular rom. How about some information guys. Latest build that seems to be stable. Latest build that killed stability and isn't suggested to bother running. Anything.
[Fascinate General] Crawshayi:
Probably due to the fact that CM10 isn't even hosted on XDA... should probably head over to the thread on RootzWiki if you want a more active thread: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30744-alpharom411-cyanogenmod-10-for-samsung-fascinate-updated-0819/

Also, although CM10 is popular, the Fascinate community is quite small these days and most have either upgraded by now or are using one of the roms hosted here (AOKP, Paranoid, etc)
[Fascinate General] alexmawdsley:
Well that was helpful. Actually tried finding a more active forum since I knew there had to be another thread on a different forum for this rom and phone. Couldn't find it. Thanks for the link
[Fascinate General] bmeek:
Running the Nov 4 build and no sod. It all works really well for me. No complaints for several weeks now.

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

Yeah... the availability of this Rom has removed all urgency to upgrade for me :D.

I keep coming back to the cm10 nightlies because it seems a bit smoother, and trivial as it seems, the simple "percentage" battery icon style that's missing in AOKP. PA is really impressive, but I rarely took advantage of it...
[Fascinate General] ztotherad:
i definitely like your thinking :)

cm10 nightlies is about all ive been running lately. im on 11/4 right now with stock kernel, a different battery icon i added for myself & softkeys that i found within the nexus s development forum. the only thing I've really changed, other than the other two of course was I'm using the leaked 4.2 keyboard & camera/gallery apps :) but flashing the nightlies have curbed my addicting flashing for now at least. the only thing I'm waiting for is a cm10 m rom, but i have no idea if we'll get am official one or not
[Fascinate General] tbaddley:
I did run into 2 incidents of the SoD (Sleep of Death) around Halloween, two different nightly builds, two nights in a row, I woke up with my phone powered off. First time in a LONG time that I had this happen. Since Halloween, everything seems fine and it's not happened again.

I update with each nightly released, stock kernel. Currently on 11/05. I am using gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip.

I use this as my daily driver, for work, and it's been quite stable other than those two overnight incidents. I still love the circle battery notification, the built in file manager is cool...but best of all, the battery life seems to have significantly improved in the November builds, Anyone else seeing better battery life with same/similar usage as before?
[Fascinate General] tbaddley:
New 4.2 GApps Package

I'm going to give this new 4.2 GApps package a try today, after flashing 11/06 CM10. It should have the new calender, camera, etc.

http://phandroid.com/2012/11/06/android-4-2-gapps-package-download/

I'll report back my results.
[Fascinate General] tbaddley:
I've not laughed at a installation in quite some time...but this one cracked me up. After the professionalism that is CyanogenMod, this package reminded me that hackers don't care about that crap. heheh. Still, it installed fine, and is "Optimizing app xx of 107".

I'm excited to try out the sphere-cam and check out Gesture Typing (native Android Swype-style keyboard).
[Fascinate General] mezster:
If you just want the 4.2 camera, gallery and clock apks they are here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33516900
[Fascinate General] tbaddley:
Thanks. I think I may give them a try individually. With the package I flashed, I am having fc on the Clock. This kept me from getting a alarm this morning. The camera is pretty slick GUI-wise, but the quality of the pics is no-where near as good as cameraFX, or even the stock JB camera. I didn't get much chance to poke around. Maybe it was just a setting.

PhotoSphere may be out of reach for my poor Fassy. It's just simply not got the processing power to handle everything without bogging down to a unusable level.
[Fascinate General] mezster:
Had same problem with clock (always do a test alarm :D). Deleted (or rename works) old clock apk and wiped data in 4.2 clock and all works like it should, except night mode which won't auto engage when docked. But I really do like the new clock.
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
Anyone seeing a problem with no ringtone playing sometimes on an incoming call? I can watch the screen reporting an incoming call but no sound plays at all. However I can call it right back and it will play it, then maybe the next call or two and it won't play it again. I was using one of the stock ringtones. It's maybe once every three call average.

It's also happening on AOKP JB Milestone 1. I'm using stock kernels on both.
[Fascinate General] tbaddley:
New Clock in GApps 4.2

BTW...I went ahead and cleared both caches before flashing CM10 11/08 nightly and the 4.2 Full GApps package. This time, I cleared the data for the clock, and it's working perfectly now. Got my alarm this morning, and I used the timer tonight when grilling. Very nice addition. I just wish it had a widget, and I could get rid of ClockWidget4ICS. Would also be nice to be able to use the new clock with the lockscreen.
[Fascinate General] tbaddley:
I haven't had any problems with incoming calls not playing a ringtone, although there have been a couple of times when I realized I missed a call, and wasn't sure why I wouldn't have heard it (just figured I had the ringer vol down too low, which I do a lot inside). But now, I'm wondering. I'll have to pay more attention.
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
That was my theory when it started happening as well. But I started testing it and could watch the screen showing the incoming call while it was happening laying on a table and hearing nothing.
[Fascinate General] luke949:
is anyone having in call volume super high when answering the phone? i find myself having to lower the volume every time i answer a call to prevent my ears from bleeding haha.
[Fascinate General] bmeek:
Yeah... JT posted yesterday on rootzwiki that he has fixed some bugs, including a volume-related tweak. we should see the results in the next successful nightly build...

In his own words:

"Fwiw I fixed a few bugs in the past few days. Backuptool has been fixed so gapps don't need to be flashed each time you update any more. Fixed the ota programming call so that the keypad now shows up. Also lowered the default speaker volume levels to help with in call echo issues."
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
He hasn't mentioned anything about why the phone doesn't always ring? I've even seen someone on rootzwiki's thread that is reporting it as well. That's the main thing that keeps me using JB as my daily driver.
[Fascinate General] bmeek:
I saw that post too... Haven't experienced the bug though (well, not that I know of, given the nature of the bug :).

Does it show a missed call, or is it like the call never happened?
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
I started a thread under Q&A about this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1979174

I can have the phone sitting on the table with the screen off, call it and watch it. The display turns on and says "Incoming call" with the lockscreen animation for me to unlock the phone, but there will be no ringtone happening. I can hang up, wait a few seconds, try again, and it will ring fine. It's about 1 in 3 that it doesn't ring.

I keep hoping someone can find this bug and squash it. I'd really like to get off of AOKP ICS M6, but I have to use a ROM that I can depend on that I will hear calls coming in.

Downloading the 20121114 night lie right now
[Fascinate General] bbrad:

[Fascinate General] bbrad:
Hey I want too confirm this I've been converting the fascinatate ROMs to the showcase well the cm uodater doesn't work and its aggravating. Can I just run the fascinate version? I don't use MMS so that isn't a problem.?:beer:
[Fascinate General] bmeek:
OK, that's weird. Do you use Profiles? The basic features of profile configuration don't seem to work as intended for me, but I've assumed there was just more for me to learn -the application groups and all that (but I can't be bothered)... How about the quiet hours feature?
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
Nope. I even turn off profiles altogether.
[Fascinate General] snowman4839:
can anyone riddle me why I always get status 0 and a failed install whenever i try to install CM10 nightly? I've installed it before but I've been running CM9 for awhile and I wanted to try 10 again.

I boot into CWM 6.0.1.5, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik and then try to install the .zip from the sd card but I ALWAYS get a status 0 failed now. What am I doing wrong?
[Fascinate General] jt1134:
Pull /tmp/recovery.log and post it.
[Fascinate General] snowman4839:
I couldn't find that file but ROM manager gave me this error as soon as I put CM9 back on.

I can install CM9 no problem but CM10 never works. I never lets me format /data or /system. It lets me format /cache though.
