ok guys..here is my website. I will post all my apps, betas, and my stuff there. Please check it out and it may seem familiar to you ;)

[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
Just an update:

Sorry for the delay in release but I finally got the wifi to connect to the device. Now, i am working on getting the sync to work as if it was wired. I also made a little api for c# people to connect through wifi to the device without having to use adb and rooting the phone.

Also as a side note, I also improvised the look of beta 5 and I modified the appearance of the device side app. It looks much more clean and user friendly now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cosampson:
Is there any solution to this problem? It was working fine before the update but now i can not connect. I just rooted my device with VISIONary .
[Fascinate General] martyotaku:
My 30 days are almost up and still no 2.2.....and no fix for my GPS on the fascinate. I gotta return it now. To bad loved the phone. Guess ill wait to see if 2.2 fixes it and maybe come back. But by then something better and newer will be out.

Anyone else thinkin same thing?
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Not really. I just trick the gps into catching, and that wool work fine until a fix is pushed. There's not a better phone available atm.
[Fascinate General] Mean Sixteen:
Good lord man!

How many times are you gonna say you want to return this thing?

Your post on september 13th said you were going to return it because "the droid x destroys it"

And considering you said then that you had the fascinate for "a few days" then I think your 30 days have come and gone.

Sorry to flame but this is annoying!

[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
See Ya !

Dx is really not that great of a phone ( except call quality)

Fascinate is exactly what the name implies...... :D
[Fascinate General] gg101:
Care to clarify how you "trick the gps into catching?" Thanks
[Fascinate General] martyotaku:
Ummm please read carefully. I never said the DROID X destroys this. I said I owned the Droid X. And yes I said I was going to get rid of it.....but what did i say i was gonna get rid of it for? Windows Mobile 7 Phone.......Since im on verizon that is a few months away.

So Im with android till then. And well I dont want to get stuck with a phone whose GPS doesnt work.

Just asking who else is in the same boat...... The GPS is a huge issue for alot of people
[Fascinate General] martyotaku:
Oh Also I returned and swapped it once for the GPS issue, I thought it was a hardware problem.
[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
Yeah Im in the same boat I love the phone but my 30 days are almost up also .... No fix for the GPS scares me also.

A big selling point of android for me is the Free Navigation...with a ****ty GPS theres no point.
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
Everyone complains about this gps as if it NEVER works or obtains a fix which isn't true. It does work & it does obtain a fix, it just takes longer to do it. I live in rural northern MI, surrounded by thousands of acres of dense forests and I can say my google nav has never failed me yet. Yes, this phone is not perfect and it has room to improve, just like they all do, but that's where the great dev community comes in. Isn't that what "open source" means? Maybe next time do more research before you take the plunge, we really haven't come across anything new to the galaxy s family.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
If i notice a delay in catching, I just exit navigation to the normal map, and pin point my own current location. When I go back into navigation, I'm connected.
[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
haha it takes longer? Oh please when I use GPS to find my location it sometimes puts me in the ocean!!!!

The GPS on the fascinate is horrible.

Im suprised this doesnt get enough conversation.
[Fascinate General] bomber889:
my gps is fine, it locks on well... but it takes like 30 minutes to an hour to lock on lol
[Fascinate General] ilogik:
My last day to return the phone was Saturday and I was going to do it. But on Friday I got really drunk and went on a 3 day bender... By the time I sobered up and remembered I had to take the phone back it was too damn late :(
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Lol. Well apparently I am not having the same problem everyone else seems to be. Like I said, mine locks when I tell it to target me, and after that navigate picks up immediately. Might have something to do with my configuration, or something I've pulled.
[Fascinate General] ppazz1101:
Mine takes a few minutes to lock, but it's accurate after that. Not really a deal breaker imo.

Did you really need a thread to tell us this though? If you're not happy, take it back. No need to let us know. We won't hate you.

Maybe I'll make a thread about how my GPS doesn't work, but I'm NOT returning my Fascinate.
[Fascinate General] JohnnyMac64:
Root the thing already and run a good rom like blue breeze. I did and am finally LOVING my fascinate! GPS issues are gone and I get lock in seconds. Camera is vastly improved and lag in the phone itself is gone. Why wait for a fix when it already exists? Enjoy your phone for christs sake.
[Fascinate General] SirFenwick:
My GPS works just fine. If I don't use it for a couple days it takes a bit to find me but that's not a real problem.
[Fascinate General] ssignature:
Same here. I travel by air a lot, so when I fire up the GPSfor the first time in a new city, it takes about 2-3 minutes to lock, but after that it's dead-on accurate. It's faster than some Garmins from a cold start.
[Fascinate General] modus81:
Download "GPS Status" from the Market.

Before you go into the navigation software, open "GPS Status" and do the following:

Go to Settings -> "GPS & Sensors" -> "Manage A-GPS state" --> "Reset".

After doing this, the phone usually finds my location within 2 seconds. Works everytime!
[Fascinate General] JaeKar99:
This worked three times for me and has consistently failed since. I am not of the mindset that a gps that takes a couple of minutes to lock on is a deal breaker.

I have a garmin that takes that long to load up a map and then lock my position.

If you are that reliant on an (imeadiate) gps lock - I would recomend something other than a phone.
[Fascinate General] ilogik:
Samsung should be capable of manufacturing a handset that has a functional GPS. Most of my past phones would get a lock within seconds heck some of them would even get a lock in my bathroom.
[Fascinate General] rfarrah:
Is it able to maintain a lock after that, and stay with you. Navigation instructions work?
[Fascinate General] orateam:
GPS works. But don't turn it off. what i found in many hours of testing is that GPS does work, but it seems to take a lot longer after you turn it off.

Here were my tests.

1)Stood outside, and turned GPS on to get a lock. Took 5 mins.

2)left the gps on and went in my work building where it loses signal, gps, etc...

3)after 5 hours, drove car out of work garage, turned on Google maps and navigated home. GPS locked in seconds.

4)Next day to work, and other locations, with GPS on always, was able to go in and out of building and and near instant lock to navigation software.

5)Turned off GPS, drove to work. left garage, turned on GPS, took 10 minutes to get a lock. Followed that by trying to go place to place and manually turning on GPS. NO luck. Sometimes it wouldn't lock after 20 minutes.

6)back to leaving in on always. Still get near instant lock. Small battery drain, but worth it for me.
[Fascinate General] ppazz1101:
It's a bug. Bugs happen. Apple should have been able to manufacture a 4th generation device that didn't drop signal when you held it wrong... but they didn't. That's a far worse blunder than a software bug.
[Fascinate General] chronster:
not to mention the recent security flaw with the lock screens...
[Fascinate General] rfarrah:
I agree in principle, but it's been months and the problem spans all of the Galaxy S devices. Why isn't Samsung motivated to fix? Why aren't the carriers all over this? And finally, don't they have real live people go out and test these things?

/end rant
[Fascinate General] JaeKar99:
Samsung has a fix out - 2.2.. Now it is up to the carriers to provide it to the end users.

If the fix was part of the package - They still need to approve the whole package before shipping to the user. If the package is not ready to ship... Here we wait.

Real people?... This is Verizon you know.. :eek:
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Verizon tends to test their devices more than other carriers from what I've read, and that is likely why they tend to have the same devices released later than other carriers.

I also believe that Samsung is the one that creates the updates and then gives them to the carriers for testing/release. I can't see VZW hiring a huge staff to provide/create updates for their phones (or any other carrier doing the same thing). They let the OEM manufacturers take care of the software for the devices and then just do testing and possibly add in their own packages before releasing it.
[Fascinate General] s44:
The latest Vibrant updates seem to have GPS working, so it should just be a matter of time.

Sent from my Voodoo-powered Fascinate with XDA
[Fascinate General] crabjoe:
Where did you read or hear this?

I just peeked over at the Vibrant forum to see what people are saying about their GPS and as far as I can tell, it's still messed up.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=813853&page=4

BTW, If the leaked Froyo on the Captivate or International Galaxy S is any indication of a GPS fix with Froyo, you're still going to be waiting on a fix. posts from people with Froyo basically state GPS didn't improve with Froyo.
[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
I just put my Fascinate up for sale on craigs list!! For a phone with a sweet processor and awesome GPU it sux! Sad and weird to say but im holding out for the HTC HD now.

And boy oh om lovin that new sense ui!!

Anyone jumpin ship??

[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Question: I was looking through the market, and stumbled on an app called GPS Booster. Tried it for kicks, and got an instant navigation lock first try, each after three reboots.

Anyone have any insight into this app? Is it just a fluke, placebo, legit, what?
[Fascinate General] mgmtm3:
Give it a second...it's going to SPACE! :)
[Fascinate General] dangerismymiddlename.com:
Maybe that's why my GPS always works! I always leave from the same place, so maybe my location is always set-to-that starting out?

And it works extremely well. I put the phone next to my Garmin in the car, and they read the same.

I also leave it on.
[Fascinate General] dangerismymiddlename.com:
No Sherman, your GPS does not put you in the ocean.

A GPS tells you where you are. A map is used to figure out where you want to go, and how to get there. Just because you look at your map, before your GPS has fixed your position, doesn't mean that it "puts you in the ocean", or that it's broken.

When I was younger we needed to actually know _how_ to use maps. They were these paper things that you had to unfold. I even could navigate quickly through a forest with nothing but a map and compass.

If you hate the phone do much then buy a different one, and stop raining on our parade.

I actually went to college before there were mobile phones available outside of huge cities. We had to go to our phones; they were plugged into walls, but nobody whined about them.
[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
Actually ummm yes it puts my location on a blue patch on the maps....... again I know u love ur phone so much that u TRY to overlook its faults.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaennil:
I've looked all over. And I've tried everything.

This is what happened to my Xperia. it was 29% before I went to bed. When I woke up the next day, it was completely dead. No lights, no anything. I've tried charging it for 24 hours, I've tried charging the battery through an external charger, I've waited 2 days to power it on again. I've also tried that hard reset trick on one thread here. No go. I'm frustrated. Does anyone know any way this could be fixed and why did this happen?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaennil:
:( 13 views and no reply... I'm gonna shamelessly beg now.. anyone?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonuxury:
since you have tried hard reset,and it doesnt work

i prefer theres something wrong with your battery
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaennil:
Is it possible for the battery to just die like that without any warning? My battery was okay before this problem. I've tried it with an external charger and it charges. :confused:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul c:
It could be the charging circuit itself.

I recall a similar thing happening to me on another HTC phone, sorry I can't recall the details (but it was beyond my skills to repair it, and it was an old phone by then). A friendly technical centre could help you with that diagnosis.

At least you can get a desktop charger that will charge the battery up without it having to be inside the phone , if that is the case.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaennil:
I've tried charging without the phone. External charger or desktop charger. Doesn't work either.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M.Ozturk:
Sounds weird, but did you try to hold down the power button for a few seconds to let x1 on? Sometimes I have that too when the battery goes empty and the phone goes off. It doesnt open immediately when I press the button, but have to hold down the power button for a few seconds and than release. Try that for about 5 times. If noting happens, than its not the same problem that I have.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbythomas:
Hi guys,

I'm having exactly the same issue as "Jaennil". My battery was at 67% when I went to bed but today morning its dead. I dont know how it happend. Usually I get around 2-3 days of battery backup(on standby). Now my xperia is not switching on. Can anyone suggest some solution for our problem...I am now charging the battery using wall charger,but i dont see any battery charging notifications.

Please help guys,

Thanks in advance.

just letting you guys know seidio is now shipping their innocase (black only though)

Sent from my Fascinate
[Fascinate Accessories] Protonus:
That's awesome, thanks for letting us know, been waiting to see that. Now after seeing it, I'm sure of what I assumed, that the OEM/Verizon kickstand case is a much better case. It has a kickstand you can use in portrait and landscape, it provides good grip on the back of the phone, it fits very tightly and is durable plastic, and it barely goes over the front of the phone at all leaving the phone quite thin.

Innocases are what I used on my last 3 phones, and the soft touch/rubberized feel is nice (the kickstand case is rubberized but not as much), but, they are relatively brittle, they bulk up the phone a good deal by covering all sides and the front, and they don't have kickstands. I can't imagine not having a kickstand now after having one. But perhaps most important, is the cost? The kickstand cases are brand new on ebay for $12 shipped. innocases are going to run you $30 + shipping.

edit: Seidio's holsters are awesome though, best I've ever used. but I know a lot of people don't use a holster, and you can't with the kickstand case on anyways. I suggested a pouch to go with the kickstand case in my thread about it in this forum.
[Fascinate Accessories] charleypark:
nice! thanks for the update! i've been waiting for a solid case that didn't cover up much of the front bezel. now only if sgp's website was working and i could get the ultra crystal screen protector...
[Fascinate Accessories] illtema:
does anyone have this? how is it? bulky or no?
[Fascinate Accessories] Talek:
I bought this case. It's really nice. However it makes my phone look exactly like an Iphone. You've probably seen this case on plenty of Iphones - it is essentially identical. The case its relatively thin, but certainly adds to the phone's size. It's probably about as thin as you're going to get for a case though (aside from using an invisible sheild type skin ). Quality is great. I love the case, the added size is fine because the case is still pretty sleek looking - And well worth the $30 investment to protect such an expensive phone. Lets not forget, samsung is notorious for bad build quality.
[Fascinate Accessories] illtema:
cool, i ordered it and will give a review here after i try it out for a bit. i hope it fels good in the hand
[Fascinate Accessories] Hatespawn:
They are about the best cases out. Not too much bulk and the rubberized finish is a nice touch. Best Buy had them in black and white. They are labeled as the Seidio platinum series on retail shelves.
[Fascinate Accessories] illtema:
ok so i just got this case.. its pretty sweet! only one thing i dont like and i can't beleive no one else mentioned this, the power and volume rockers are kinda blocked off in a way that makes it a lil tough for your thumb to get too
[Fascinate Accessories] scriz:
I just got this case today in black..weird that Best Buy lists the white case at 29.99 but the black case at 34.99..weird, not exactly sure why the black costs more. Anyways, I will have some pretty detailed pictures tonight!
[Fascinate Accessories] scriz:
No pics, my camera is bummy..but I love the case. Fits perfectly and I don't mind it making the buttons more difficult to press. I have sausage fingers anyway so it feels better to me :D
[Fascinate Accessories] elijahblake:
Sausage fingers? lol

[Fascinate Accessories] elijahblake:
looking forward to it.. My otterbox is cool and all but it is a pocket lint maget and from what I heard seido cases don't have this problem... It also looks like much better protection
[Fascinate Accessories] elijahblake:
Got my seido Active X w/holster in yesterday... I'm loving it, it looks way better than the otterbox, it provides more grip, you can actually see all the glass, and it doesn't block half the speaker on the back.. Glad I ordered it..
[Fascinate Accessories] mattstakilla:
up close and personal pics?
[Fascinate Accessories] elijahblake:
I would love to help you out but unfortunately my point and shoot camera broke about 2 weeks ago... so the only camera I have now is my cellphone :(

I'm pretty sure someone posted some pics already somewhere in here with the seido active X case..

It looks really great and the finger grips in the sides work AWESOME!!! It looks way better than the otterbox!!!

These pics are spot on though!!!

Updated with a black Gtalk
[Droid 2 Android Development] kejar31:
Ok everyone... I review the changes to the latest update

In the Framework.apk and the Services.jar - the only two files changed in the system itself from 1.2 to 1.2.1 (other than the removal of a few apps in the /system/app folder)- the only change implemented was the transparent drop-down which is already implemented in the JARupdate.

So the long story short is, the current update will without issue work on the latest release.
