[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
It fits best. We do need a Q&A section. My logic however had to do with the issue. If it's hardware, fine. If it's possible to improve via hack or tweak, that qualifies as a development issue. If it's a radio issue, then perhaps a fix will come, but again, development issue.

All due respect, I don't ask many questions. I usually take the necessary time to read up and search. This question has not been asked, or I wouldn't have raised it. I am neither new here, or ignorant of the rules. Most of my posts are relevant and some even attempt to be helpful.

Statement of point: this post asks a question, and reply not addressing the question is as useless and improperly placed as this inquiry is being accused of.

Now could someone who understands the question, and has the knowledge to address it take a moment to enlighten me? It would be appreciated.
[Fascinate General] tallnerd1985:
The point that everyone is making here is that the Development sub-forum is for Development only, not for troubleshooting, questions or feature requests. Thats what the general forum is for, not the development forum. Please stop posting here unless you are contributing to the advancement of the phone or replying to a devs thread.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Fair enough, then this should be moved to the general thread, along with about half the other posts. Lol.
[Fascinate General] leepriestenator:
@OP

You know it's funny that you of all people should complain about the plethora of useless posts around here when you yourself contribute to the mess.

You don't post in the appropriate sections and I'm quite sure that you remember the useless and misleading thread "iOS port for 2.1 running on my Fascinate! " that you created a while ago. That was blatantly and outrightly spamming the boards, but I let it pass.

Regarding your comment about the XDA Moderators; talking trash about the admin staff is tantamount to flaming and as such you have been issued an infraction. If you have a problem or an issue, contact any of the moderators via PM and we will discuss your issues in a more civilized fashion.

I would advice you to use better judgement going forward.

Back on Topic!
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Fair and warranted, also appreciated. My issue was with the post being trashed, instead of moved.

Now that things are situated, does anyone know if the diminished wifi reception on the Fascinate is purely a hardware issue?
[Fascinate General] pvgomer:
Wifi sucks

I agree on QnA my wifi signal and speed is horrible on this device. I would like to see some kind of fix for this my 3g at home is crappy.
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
given the power output(router and phone), antenna design on both the router as well as in the phone, and the nature of the freq used for WiFi it is clear that you had a mutant N1 and should not expect the same performance from any other phone. NO im not being a smartass just being realistic. as a amateur radio operator i deal with radio freq's on an almost daily basis and give the nature of the freq's used for WiFi they are not going to give you good performance without a better antenna setup or more power. since you cant increase the power output your only other option to extend your range is a batter antenna.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Not sure what you're saying here. I had two Nexus Ones, having replaced the first due to a trackball issue. I have a high end wireless N router. Both N1s had about 90 ft range.

My question is if the differential in the range has to do with hardware entirely? Is the Fascinate not as wireless N friendly?
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
Just throwing this out even tho I'm sure u have thought of this. I get low bars on my fascinate to no bars of wifi after about 15 feet. However even with no bars it will actaully still work another 30-50 ft out into the driveway. Maybe just a poor signal on my end.
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
"high end" means nothing more than you paid more for a name. WiFi and its speeds are a standard, so no matter if you paid $30 for one or $300 for one they will perform the same. yes, there is a chance that the higher end one MIGHT be made with better components but i doubt it. as the poster above me stated, it could just be an issue with the signal bars not showing up but you still have a connection. download one of the WiFi analyzers from the market and see what that gives your for signal strength as you walk down the driveway.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
If your router allows 3rd party firmware (like most Linksys models do), flash a better firmware to the router, such as DD-WRT, that allows you to increase the power output of the wireless system.
[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
I have had the incredible since day one and picked up a facinate a week ago and I too suffer from poor wifi range. I also have an N router and have run up and download speed tests and my incredible smokes the facinate. I am hoping its software related and is fixed with the 2.2 update.

I have to tell you guys, an avid follower of xda I am very disappointed that a useless comment was made (now corrected) towards the issue at hand before trying to help. I thought helping each other is what this forum was designed for not belittling someone needing help? This is now the 2nd thread asking for help this guy has posted and and no help was offered until slapped on the hand... But hey, what do I know. I am only 48 years old.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Lol. I will freely admit I have no knowledge on the topic, only logic. I will check with a wifi signal app when I get home, on the way there now. I merely assumed it was losing signal because it loses wifi, and switches to 3G when I go out on the porch to smoke.

I also know I got the router I did because my older G would put out a very weak signal to the second floor, whereas now I pull almost full bandwidth from there.

Regardless, I will check shortly and post my findings.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Going to look into this as well, good info.
[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
I too go out in the back to smoke lol. I also have another issue which is my verizon network extender not working very well outside of 20 to 25ft. BUT... My incredible dropped calls while on the back porch while the facinate doesn't. Go figure....
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Okay. Pulled down Wifi Analyzer, which was what I used to use, and checked. Now I'm seriously confused.

The app reads a signal strength at -90 all the way at the end of my yard, about 90-95 feet from my router.

But my wifi connection still drops and jumps to 3G when I get to the 30-35 foot range.

So the app can see the signal, but the connection breaks anyway. Wtf.
[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
Maybe something to try... disable your 3g then retest?
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Found Wifi fixer on the market. Tried again. Connection breaks, the app resets wifi and reconnects. Seems to hold it all the way with occasional notifications about poor signal.

So then, not necessarily hardware...
[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
Well, maybe there's some hope if it is software related. I sure hope so...

I'll post if I stumble across anything that helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlorianO:
Hello,

I'm on JP6/JPM (namely this custom ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814091) and I have the following question:

Is it possible to replace the dialer in the TouchWiz launch bar with custom dialer (namely Dialer One) ?

I am able to edit the launch bar, and replace the dialer with another app, but it seems that it must be a "system" app -- I cannot select DialerOne from the avail app list (or any other custom-installed app).

Would it be possible to -- maybe -- move DialerOne to "/system" to be able to do that (yes, phone is rooted) . Any other suggestions ?

TIA for any hints / help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jutezak:
What I did was:

Go to the applications grid.

Menu -> Edit

Move 'Phone' to the application grid. This leaves an empty space in the tray.

Then, move 'Dialer One' to that empty space.

It is a while ago, but it was easy. I remember not deleting 'Phone' but moving it to the grid because I was afraid to lose it. I'm on JM2, BTW.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlorianO:
Thanks for the tip, but -- as I wrote above -- I tried that already.

I can remove the phone from the launch bar but cannot add DialerOne in there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryplatt84:
Not sure why anyone would want to use the touch wiz launcher. I use ADW Launcher which will allow you to replace the default dialer with dialer one on the home screen. I am running it right now with no issues.

2. in settings scroll down to Privacy settings.

3. then clear cache ,if you want clear history

4. clear all cookie data

5. clear form data and if you want clear passwords as well

reboot the phone and trust me this should resolve it .It happened to me 10 times and every time this works...post back if it works for you:D

Looks good. 2 questions. Is there a way to get the date to have a transparent background? And I want to confirm if this would work with Runic 1.0. Thank you keep up the good work.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kejar31:
The date background is transparent, if you look close you can still see the icons from the USB connection in my second picture. But since there is a second layer, that portion becomes darker. It just happens to be the way Androids Status bar was developed so there would be no way, at least that I am aware of, that we can fix this.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] dadsterflip:
hey do you have to change anything on services.jar to do transparent bar? or can i just change the color via photoshop like 2.1? do a framework pull etc?

installed it works on the lockscreen menu but once you slide it to unlock it the bar becomes non transparent again but on the lock screen it is.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] MrDanger:
Services.jar changes the clock and date from black to white.

If you are using launcher pro... it does not stretch the wallpaper pass the status bar... leaving a black (empty) space there. LiveWallpapers do work though.

You can use ADW.. they have a "Wallpaper Hack" that stretches the wallpaper and you will be able to see it.... Motoblur also stretches wallpapers too...

Basically every launcher except LP
[Droid X Themes and Apps] dadsterflip:
That makes sense. No wonder I couldn't figure it out. Thx alot
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Namolas:
Shame LP doesn't stretch the wallpaper to fit. Beautiful theme BTW.

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] bluepower:
You can remove the camera shutter sound on your LG GT540.

For that, for example, using Root Explorer, edit the file:

/data/local/tmp/3rd_party/Arcsoft/Camera/camera.conf

Then find shutter_sound=1 and modify to shutter_sound=0

Save and exit.

That´s all. ;)

Download one of the ones under the heading:

with TMO in its name (you are in the UK, right?)

Its like an installer for some software - fun it, and itl do it all for you.

Then at the end, everything (radio, hboot, system, boot) will all be restored to stock and you will be unrooted.

Is it possible with the Epic? My MicroUSB port is broken and I don't know how to flash the phone back to stock (removing root, restoring stock apps) and I've got limited time to do this before I can take the phone back to the Sprint store for replacement. I'm searching feverantly, but everything takes me to flashing using Odin, via USB to PC, etc. I just need to know if I can get a DG27 (that's what I'm still running) update.zip file put onto my SD card and let the phone flash itself via the stock recovery console. Can it be done?

[Epic 4G Android Development] AndrewZorn:
I have returned my phones to stock as well when dealing with warranty/insurance, but does it matter if you are having a hardware issue like that? Would they consider it a breach of contract or something?

Of course, if my phone sustained minimal damage and I needed to replace it, there's always totally breaking it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] rufflez2010:
Unfortunately, it sounds like you're sol... you could remove all the root stuff like superuser.apk, but you'd still have the recovery to deal with
[Epic 4G Android Development] suchromanticeyes:
Replacement

You should call your local rep and ask about the terms of exchange. I had a moment and exchanged for the epic and my rep said that software didn't matter. Basically, if it still looks new, they should take it. This is for the 30 day exchange. Are you getting it replaced or exchanging it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] m5james:
I've tried to make "friends" with the people at the local Sprint stores for issues like this. Since I was about 2 weeks past my 30 exhange window, I got sent from the store that I purchased it from to another store that does more warranty work. Ends up the guy there is someone I had met before at a completely different store back when I had my Moment...nice guy, roots his phones, gave me tons of free paid apps, etc. In the end, apparently Sprint changed their warranty replacement program (again) and he was forced to charge me $35 :( I won't get the phone till midweek, but I'm justifying the costs in my head by talking with him since he's going to allow me to use some website he's payed onto to be able to download basically any paid app that I want when I return. That means no more Gameloft demos, backup apps, etc...now I get the best of the best.

For those wondering what happened to my phone, I did the Touchstone mod, and while it was working great for a while, apparently too much tension was on the + connection, so it broke right at the joint where the USB connector meets the board...no chance of me fixing that myself. Now my biggest problems are

1) That I'm still rooted, I did a factory wipe on the phone and completely forgot that I deleted a TON of stock apps, including the TW launcher. Once the phone finished it's own wiping, I now have no launcher, so unless someone calls/texts me, I have no phone usage.

2) Since the USB is broken, I don't have a way to charge the phone anymore...and these phones are battery hogs. I've replied on the Touchstone thread to see if I could still use the Touchstone and the battery cover, remove the battery from the phone and charge the battery directly. I know the inherent dangers of over charging, so my only goal is too keep enough of a random charge (maybe a few hours at a time) until the replacement phone arrives.

In the meantime though, I'd still like to see if there is a way to either flash the phone back to stock and/or get a launcher running on the phone again. I have NO launcher now, so hitting the home, menu, etc buttons does absolutely nothing.
