I have essentially the same setup as you (ignoring for the moment we likely have different Apps installed). The only difference we have is the Free which on 1.6.1 is about 80MB and on 1.9.5 about 50MB, similar to yours. All other memory is the same. I experience the worse lag coming out of sleep - phone rings, email, text whatever and it takes forever to wake up - even to get into Elixer to see what is going on takes a long time (very impossible trying to answer the phone, this is really a phone haha). This experience takes sometime to set in, about 24 hours with 1.9.5. Making no changes and a dirty install going back to 1.6.1 the phone works great.

Back in the bad old Gingerbread days I used SetCPU for Root users to specifically keep the free memory above 70MB because I felt the phone was a lot more responsive, even for Gingerbread. I have no idea if I'm barking up the wrong tree or not but just sayin.......

look thro fassy dev on xda here lol

Steve what's in the test folder for toro???
[Fascinate Android Development] Sister Amethyst:
Running milestone 1 and loving it but I've run into a snag that may end up being a deal breaker. I searched but didn't see it discussed. Hoping someone can point me toward the fix.

When I attempt a *228 to update my roaming I have no keypad. I can't press 2 (or anything else) and am unable to complete the process.

Does anyone know how to work around or fix this problem?

Thanks!

[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Dial *228+ which you get the plus by holding down the zero key for a second. That will give you the option to use the numberpad. If not then *22890 to activate and *22891 to update the PRL.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Grr, I thought I fixed that. I know I did, because it was a ***** and took me a week or 2 of screwing with the dailer code.

The patch must have gotten lost in the noise :(
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaptinkrunk:
thats funny bec it does it on my nexus too lol i alway just flash to stock and activate then abck to the rom i was on
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
That makes sense. If I remember right, the problem was in the framework itself, and not device-specific.

[Fascinate Android Development] .Ejekt:
La-di-da. Bumping this. We miss you, Steve!
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Sadly, I think the Fascinate is nearing the end of its run. All of the developers have either moved on to newer devices, or just don't have the time to put into it anymore. As it is, I'm waiting for a big fat bonus check and then I'll probably jump ship, too .. the Note II is looking pretty snazzy at the moment.

But hey .. for a little single-core 3G phone that came loaded with Android 2.1 and a bunch of bugs and crapware, I think we've done all right. This is the longest I've ever kept one phone, by a long shot (going on 3 years), and it's only just now starting to show its age and make me consider upgrading. Not bad. Not bad at all.
[Fascinate Android Development] Crawshayi:
We still got jt! I agree though with what you said though, it really is starting to show it's age next to all these newer phones. With my own upgrade coming up fairly soon I will definitely be considering a big leap, however I may just hold off until the S4.
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
I do agree as well, but coming from the droid x2 this phone is awesome, but I'm thinking of jumping ship to the gnex or going ahead and using my discount whenever it's possible and may go with the note2 or the sg3. or hold off yet, I'm not really sure but I know that I wasn't something with an unlockable bootloader and awesome support.
[Fascinate Android Development] .Ejekt:
Likewise. I feel as if I've been spoiled by this community though. I dare not move to a new phone until I'm sure the support, responsiveness, and enthusiasm for it is on par with what we've been so fortunate to have in this corner of XDA. I wish I could just buy everyone an S3 so we could collectively migrate.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
I actually did a little research today. There are quite a few complaints out there about piss-poor reception with the S3.. Like a different phone will have 3 bars and an S3 right next to it will have no service at all, and no wifi 10 feet from your router.

That's why I'm looking at the Note 2... I already have bad enough coverage at work (the fascinate is known to have a lousy antenna and receiver, too), i don't need to pay full price for a phone that makes it worse.
[Fascinate Android Development] .Ejekt:
Have you done any digging into the Note II's dev quality?
[Fascinate Android Development] Crawshayi:
The Note II actually looks awesome but I don't think I could honestly get used to lugging around a phone that huge... I mean I could make it work with an S3 but seriously, I've seen the Note II and holy crap it's just... well size DOES matter sometimes
[Fascinate Android Development] noobchef:
Actually, I have seen this. My buddy upgraded to the S3 but changed carriers, and side by side comparison at work my fassy got better reception. He changed carriers and got a new S3 and has better reception now.
[Fascinate Android Development] hhp_211:
Yep i agree with all that, how could i have got so lucky all those years ago to actually pick the fascinate??!!! Whoo hoo!!!

I been looking heavily at the sch-i515 galaxy nexus

Cause i got to lay out the cold hard cash ,,,

I can find good used/refurb @ $ I can afford

And for me a note or S3 seem to big maybe & too $$$ right now
[Fascinate Android Development] .Ejekt:
Mind specifying which carriers he moved between?
[Fascinate Android Development] mezster:
Personally, I think I will try to hang on a while longer. With the s3 being a disappointment (my opinion) and the note2 being impractical for my purposes (its nice, just too big - that and wondering how well all those tw features would play with aosp), it seems the best option might be to hold out for the next nexus or even the s4. Would like to hop on a device early on in its development life to maximize my experience with it. I mean who's to say what the next fassy will be. Hell, we really lucked out having jt return to the device! It would most likely be dead without him. I can run 4.2 till then if I have to (who could complain compared to where stock support was dropped and how far we've come), and am grateful for all the hard work and generosity that allows me to do so.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Well, if the note 2 forum on here is any indication, it looks like aokp and cm are both being done, which is good enough for me...and who knows, maybe I can even start helping again, too.
[Fascinate Android Development] noobchef:
He switched from GCI to ATT. Do you have a link to the article?
[Fascinate Android Development] .Ejekt:
Article?
[Fascinate Android Development] noobchef:
Well ssewk2 mentioned he did research, so I hoped he maybe had a link. Its OK. Google is our friend. My friends experience helped me decide to stay with my fassy for a bit longer, and even though Steve isn't supporting our device anymore, there are still awesome developers breathing life into this, so a big thanks to everybody in the fascinate community.

Edit: sorry I got a little confused. I meant to ask Ssewk2 if he had a link or anything.
[Fascinate Android Development] Azuma73:
Ditto!! Have a great holiday season everyone!!
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Ah, sorry, guys. My "research" consisted of looking at the device forums on XDA here, specifically the Verizon Note 2 development threads.

Here's a link to what I figured was relevant:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1888&order=desc

Though I do notice no official AOKP now that I look a little harder. Still, there's work going on, and frankly, I need a phone that can get a signal. I'll port AOKP to the damn thing myself if I have to...

If you google "galaxy SIII signal issues" you'll see a host of posts.

If you google "galaxy note 2 signal issues" you won't see as many, and even fewer complaints.

That's about it. Nothing is going to happen for me at least until February, though, since that's when I'm expecting the previously mentioned Big Fat Bonus Check (tm).
[Fascinate Android Development] vlucchetti:
While I still use my fassy wifi, I have to disagree with the negatives on the S3.It is an awesome phone, and with the updated modems, AOKP JB M1 and some additional tweaking, it really is impressive.

I do miss my fascinate, but still use it as a wifi device as opposed to a full fledged phone. 3 years and going strong on that little puppy - that is impressive. That being said, I do miss the fassy community - it was a great bunch of folks.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
To be honest I have both devices so I can give you an unbiased opinion.

The S3 is a solid device...mine has great signal, however the 3g radio is slightly weak. It has great battery life and would suit most needs....the downfall is the consistency with the hardware. It seems many folks experience signal issues and overheating...benchmarks also tend have a huge variance like the fascinate. must be one of the short comings of qualcom, not really sure.

The Note 2 is definitely a notch up. The screen is amazing, battery life is great(7hrs screen on with 50hrs up time), the signal is the best I have ever seen from any Samsung device. I have not had one data drop since owning the device, 3g is really good too. Last but not least, the exynos processor really kicks ass! Out of a 100 devices they will all benchmark within a couple hundred points on anututu... yes the hardware is that consistent! One other thing to note is that many roms/kernels/mods from the international s3 and note 2 will work on the I605. Its also capable of running on other gsm networks like att... So development is and will continue to be AMAZING!
[Fascinate Android Development] Crawshayi:
Man you might have just swayed me to take a look at this when my upgrade comes around in a couple months... however I still think it might be best to hold off until the S4, but I'm pretty impatient sometimes! Also, I was just wondering if any of the custom roms have the Touchwiz perks of the Note II like the thing where you can open two apps side by side... are those features only available on the stock rom?
[Fascinate Android Development] ice.candi:
Just wondering...installed aokp m1 last night...trying to make a band before I try n flash devil kernel...all is stock aokp now but keeps saying md5 error although the backup shows in restore I'm assuming it won't work...gonna try dirty flashing ROM again n if that doesn't work prob just flash devil kernel n see what happens...any tips on how to fix this so I can make a nandroid?

Oh and I did Odin to bone stock cm recovery ths2 first now when I flashed the ROM it put me on cwm 6. Something recovery
[Fascinate Android Development] netlagger:
Once you do the first flash it puts you into the new recovery. Flash the Rom again and things will be alright.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Thank you, sir! You probably just sold me on the Note 2. What are your thoughts about its size? Is it actually too big, or is it still reasonable for a phone? Not that I care that much - I can probably get used to it if it's a little over-sized, but you express your opinions well and I've come to trust them, so ..

Edit: you can PM me that stuff if you want - I realize that I'm cluttering up what's supposed to be a Fascinate ROM thread, lol
[Fascinate Android Development] dsrhokie:
I'm curious to hear the feedback from DS on this question. I'm also thinking Steve won't care if the thread goes on a tangent...just my $0.02.

[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
I thought the device was slightly big at first, but after a few days it will grow on you. there is absolutely no way I could go back now...after 3.5 weeks of owning the device, it really feels normal size...I do have big hands tho, I measure just shy of 6'8". to put it in perspective the s3 in my wifes hand looks the same as the gn2 in my hand. Look forward to seeing you post in the gn2 forums!!
[Fascinate Android Development] Crawshayi:
You've also swayed me quite a bit, I used to hate on the size of it but after seeing a few reviews on youtube I honestly think now it would be worth the extra hassle to enjoy that gorgeous display and beastly processor. My only issue is that for me to get the upgrade I'm positive they will stop my unlimited data and put me on a tiered plan, but I have consistently been using less than 2GB per month so it might be worth it to stay with Verizon for the awesome 4G speeds. Also I know the developer support for that thing will be as awesome as the Fascinate so I'm sure I'll be happy for a very long time!
[Fascinate Android Development] Shamestick:
I'm still tempted to wait for the s4 though
[Fascinate Android Development] Crawshayi:
Ditto. I might just force myself to wait a few more months after my upgrade just to see how things turn out
[Fascinate Android Development] Shamestick:
I've had my upgrade for 2 months now but I didn't want to bind myself to an s3 if the s4 is coming out in the first quarter of 2013
[Fascinate Android Development] Eris _2.1_2010:
Been eligible for an upgrade since October lol. Just haven't seen anything worthy of giving up my Mesmerize just yet.

[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
I honestly do not see the s4 being much of a improvement over the gn2, but we shall see. I believe were to a point where new devices released are not going to have the "wow" factor over its predecessor...yes things will improve but nothing like it was going from the fascinate to the s3.
[Fascinate Android Development] Crawshayi:
To be honest the HTC DNA looks really good too, but Samsungs seem much better for rooting purposes

You can download my rom, and extract the kernel from it. Didn't release it standalone yet.

You need to use devil kernel manager, and use init.d to save values after reboot

Droidstyle you've got me wanting a note 2 so bad now -__- I mean I haven't actually used one, which would be the next test to see if i can deal with the size or not, but I'm thinking about going and popping my upgrade and quit waiting for the s4
[Fascinate Android Development] Crawshayi:
Man I got some tough choices to make soon because now after watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knQH2dcwPcE it made me stop and think that perhaps a 1080p display is more than just a gimmick... think I'm going to just have to play with both of those bad boys for a bit in person to make a final call.
[Fascinate Android Development] Shamestick:
Yeah its killing me actually haha... Burn my upgrade on the note 2, or wait for the s4...
[Fascinate Android Development] Azuma73:
Yeah, I'm leaning towards the note2 here in like a month! ?"? These prices are tankin' big time right now!!

I mean it's th& only logical way to go right now!

I mean I. Want a "hotrod" s3, but hey if I can AOKP My note 2......why the funk not!?!?!?
[Fascinate Android Development] Crawshayi:
I wonder if we lose all the cool touchwiz gimmick stuff you can do though, like have 2 apps side by side
[Fascinate Android Development] Shamestick:
Yeah i haven't heard if those features stay in the custom ROMs, I've been trolling the note 2 forums a lot though.. I might be hooked, as much as I can at least without ever touching the device
[Fascinate Android Development] Shamestick:
I went to a verizon store today and played around with the note 2 for about 45 minutes and I have to say I enjoyed it.. at first when i got it in my hands i was like holy f*** this thing is huge, but i got past that i was able to manage some tasks one handed like doing some simple web browsing and texting, so those things arent impossible. with 2 hands everything was fabulous because of the large screen and it was lightning fast. however using it rekindled my dislike for touchwiz, it is just so GB-esque, but nonetheless it was smooth as silk and the s-pen was fun to play around with although i have very limited knowledge of all of its features. If the gn2 unique touchwiz features can be cooked into the cm10's or the aokp's i will for sure get this device.

sorry for all my note 2 clutter haha, but I thought i would put my final opinion since i got to actually use it today
[Fascinate Android Development] Crawshayi:
Did you get a chance to play with the DNA?
[Fascinate Android Development] Shamestick:
I didn't even look at it, for some reason I haven't even thought of ever getting an HTC device. Even if it has a 1080p screen
[Fascinate Android Development] Crawshayi:
HTC is on par with Samsung as far as quality these days, the only company I won't consider is Motorola due to it being far to difficult to root versus the Samsung/HTC
[Fascinate Android Development] Shamestick:
Yeah it just seems like the thunderbolt left a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths though
[Fascinate Android Development] Shamestick:
Got the note 2 today and loving it so far. It doesnt even feel big, everything else just feels small
[Fascinate Android Development] Crawshayi:
Nice! Congrats. Did you root it yet and/or decide on a custom rom you want to try?
[Fascinate Android Development] Shamestick:
Naw im gonna wait like a week or so to make sure there arent any issues with the phone itself before I have my fun :p
[Fascinate Android Development] ice.candi:
I can tell you ask now chances of all those cool tw features being put into anything but a tw Rom is unlikely...ive had an s3 since August...and as much as dev has tried the two just don't play nice and I doubt the note 2 will be much different as far as development...I've had some note roms on my s3 and nothing really popped out from the s3 (of course being a diff device I can't speak for speed) I can't say I've had a single problem since I've upgraded to the s3...and being a 5 foot girl with tiny hands the note Midas well be a tablet to me...the s3 takes up my hand up to my fingers to hold it...lol...def both a huge leap from the fassy though...although it now makes a great phone for games for my 5 year old, even after swimming with the fishies for 3 hours
