Thank you for that info.

I've read through this post and see a lot of people bragging on the battery life. I'm curious how this is being achieved. I came from Stock 2.1 JI6 and flashed this rom. I let the phone get down to 2% and charged it with the phone off, I then booted into clockwork and wiped the battery stats. I turned the phone on at 7am and by noon I was at 40%. I went ahead and let it run down to 5% and charged it overnight. I turned the phone on at 8am this morning and now at 1:35 I am at 55% I have made 4 phone calls totaling less than 15 minutes. 4 text messages, 1 status update on Facebook and nothing else.

The only widgets I have running are Beautiful Widgets (set to update every 2 hours) BattStatt and the Mobile Signal Widget.

Wifi & bluetooth are off. Auto brightness is off and is set to less than 1/4.

Am I missing anything?
[Vibrant Android Development] flintpez:
Alright, here's a weird one for you. I'm hoping there's a simple solution. My pictures keep multiplying!

EX: I have a folder with 7 images in it. The first time I looked at it in the Gallery, there were 7 shown. After a reboot, 14 were shown (images doubled). After another reboot 21 were shown (tripled!).

If I actually check in the folder via mounting to my computer or navigating with a file manager, there are still only the original 7 images.

I have reflashed 3 times and even reformatted my external SD (where I keep photos). Keeps happening. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
Log into appbrain's website and you'll find that it creates a new "apps list" every time you flash a new ROM. Select your old list and copy to the new list, and you should be good to go.
[Vibrant Android Development] a1cshowoff:
Actually, I have been having odd battery issues as well. Started fresh, odin'd straight to 2.0.3. Everything was good until I reconditioned my battery. Then batt life took a downturn. I'm talking a 20% drop in 1.5 hours listening to music. I'm reconditioning again right now doing a slightly different method to see if I can get the batt meter to be a bit more accurate.
[Vibrant Android Development] bootsie99:
Here is what I do, Flash the ROM charge it to 100 percent, unplug, charge again, reboot, then charge again all the way to 100, sometimes when charging it will say 100 but then I unplug and it goes to 98. Then I CW and reset the stats, then I let it drain all the way till it shuts it self off, then I reboot becasue there is still a little juice, then let it die again, then recharge all the way while off

I can usually get about 31 hours of time. and I dont just let my phone sit around

Have you uninstalled your DRM services with Titanium? Media Hub?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
Sounds like you're actually seeing duplicates of the thumbnails that are created when you use the gallery app. I wonder if it's creating a new thumbnail every time you look in that folder and it just isn't recognizing that one has already been created.
[Vibrant Android Development] flintpez:
Yeah, that's what it's doing, but no idea why.
[Vibrant Android Development] r3skyline:
actually, no you dont.

when i flashed my first rom (bionix fusion) it didnt have the app for sims 3 installed. but the files were still there.

all i did was some searching, and i found an apk and it installed sims 3/shortcut/app perfectly.

to add, there was no flaming. not sure where your definition of flaming lies, but i certainly did not flame anyone :P
[Vibrant Android Development] flintpez:
Alright got it. Reformatted the card again, but this time through the phone (SD card and phone storage) instead of using my computer. Slid the pics back on there and all is well. Who knows?
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Well, you still need more then the apk.

But I am not going to argue with you.
[Vibrant Android Development] sparkyj62:
I flashed 2.0.3 (from stock) the day it came out everything seemed fine. rebooted, then used titanium back up to load apps back on. Once that was done everything seemed fine. charged the phone over night and went to work. i unplugged the phone at 530, by 830 or 9 am, the battery dropped to 50%! with very minimal use(it basically stayed in my pocket the entire time). I noticed that the back of the phone was extremely warm to the touch near the top of the phone. As i watched the phone i noticed that the 3g data transfer icon (the two up and down arrows) keeps going on and off about every 3 seconds. I thought it was because i was in a poor signal area but it was doing the same thing at my house with full bars. I have also noticed that if i turn wifi on the battery life improves dramatically, and the back of the phone isnt as hot. This has happened to me in the past after flashing bionix fusion rom, but has gone away with a reboot or two. i have reflashed this rom twice and rebooted a bunch of times with no success. Has this happened to anyone else? i have the same apps/ widgets that i had on previous roms. most of my widgets are set to refresh manually. thought it was my email so deleted all email accounts except for gmail...suggestions are appreciated...

edit:

i have all so wiped battery stats, i have removed all wdigets, this is occuring both on wcdma, and gsm.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dammit2Hell:
I thought it was bad to let a li-on battery drain all the way...

No I didn't uninstall anything. I didn't know I was supposed to. I thought I had read everything I could before finally deciding to flash.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
He forgot to say wipe battery stats also..
[Vibrant Android Development] ravigodhwani:
Gallery

I noticed that in the battery usage, the gallery app is almost constantly using sensors even though I almost never use it. Could this drain battery? Even with reconditioning I never seem to get battery life like some of you guys!
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
You are on the Vibrant right.. And not the I9000?
[Vibrant Android Development] m00nshake:
Ok I flashed Axura 2.0.4 and the universal lag kernel from Eugene and it's running fast, but even with over clocking I'm getting quadrant scores in 2000's. I've read other posts where some were getting scores in 4000's. What options of the lag fix are you using to get those scores?

Cheers,

M00n
[Vibrant Android Development] ravigodhwani:
Yes sir, Master. I am on the Vibrant. I even downloaded a different gallery from somewhere in the forums to see if there was any difference, but the phone was on for 40 minutes, and Gallery sensor usage was 37 minutes. With the original Gallery that came with Axura the phone was on for a bout 9 hours and sensor usage was for about 8 hours. I rarely use the gallery, unless it's to send a picture through mms or something. Excellent rom, I just wish I got the battery life everyone talks about :/
[Vibrant Android Development] webstas:
2.0.1 theme

Is there a way i can move the theme from 2.0.1 with the lighter colored drawer into 2.0.3? some of my apps use black text and i cant read them in 2.0.3.
[Vibrant Android Development] 305celebrity:
After wiping my batt stats, am I suppose to see an indication of the process being complete? Everytime I wipe my stats, the screen pauses for a split second and then goes back to the menu. I've noticed when doing any other process, it indicates at the bottom of the command list that the process was complete.
[Vibrant Android Development] ravigodhwani:
I asked the same thing in another thread a few weeks back. the consensus was that there is no notification of completion
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
4000?! I have never heard of that in my life.

The highest I saw was 3000 when overclocked to 1.8
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Nope the process is quick and dont show that it even worked. But it did, thats just how it works. Crazy huh. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] gatesmarch123:
Those scores were with the tw 1.6 overclock that is no longer in development. 2000's is right where you should be@1.2 oc.
[Vibrant Android Development] MjLvMj:
Thanks for this woderdul rom. Im using 2.0.3 right now. Its fast and battery life is good.quadrant score at 2030 linpak at 16.50. all is good but I have a problem with my bluetooth. It can detect the device but I cant hear anything. If anybody can help me to solve this problem that will be awesome. Happy Thanksgiving to All and thanks in advance..
[Vibrant Android Development] jammy_22:
How

How do i wipe the battery stats...Sorry a little new to this.
[Vibrant Android Development] henreeg:
hey Master,

sent you a PM.

:cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] m00nshake:
okay thank you very very much
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
With your phone fully charged and plugged in.

Put your phone into recovery mode (easiest way is to hold down the power button and select recovery). Your phone will reboot and go into recovery mode.

If the green menu screen doesn't come up right away use the volume up and down hard keys to highlight "reinstall packages" and the power hard key to select it. (I had to do it twice)

You should have a green menu now, select "advanced" the same way you selected "reinstall packages, then select "wipe battery stats."

Now select "go back" and then "reboot system now."

You should be good to go.
[Vibrant Android Development] gr8cop:
Master. The Roms are excellent. Evens noob like me didn't have any problems. Sent a small donation. Keep up the excellent work.

[Vibrant Android Development] joe.kerwin:
When is 2.0.4 available?
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Probably tomorrow morning.

I don't have enough time to move it here, I am going to go hang with some friends :cool:

[Vibrant Android Development] velocd:
Roms been running great for about 48 hours and then all of the sudden my phone rebooted on me and it wont connect to Tmo network. Tried a couple of reboots and a battery pull. Anyone else experienced this. Reflashing right now
[Vibrant Android Development] DaSmittyman:
Very weird issue lol, chrome gives an error of access denied..lol i guess uverse is very strict
[Vibrant Android Development] Joshochoa187:
Well leave it to master to deliver the eye candy roms. It looks good. I still don't see how you and the other devs work jobs, hang out, and still make these roms but good job. My wallets kinda empty right now (thanksgiving holidays) but you'll get a donation from me soon thanx.
[Vibrant Android Development] Reyland:
Axura 2.0.4 so far so good!:D
[Vibrant Android Development] henreeg:
Anyone getting Force Close when going to Settings=> Display?

This is on 2.0.4 btw.

It's friggin FAST! i love it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Cyclone999:
That happened to me. Turns out one of the fonts I had installed didn't work with froyo. Un-installing the font fixed it.
[Vibrant Android Development] henreeg:
weird!:confused:

uninstalling even if the font isn't applied?

and how the heck did you find this out???? lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Fedburin:
1+ - same issues with GPS here.
[Vibrant Android Development] DaSmittyman:
Master! I got the site working on another PC, anyway i hope what i sent will get you many cokes haha. Thanks for your work
[Vibrant Android Development] mulcahyd:
I just got over 11+ hrs of battery usage before charging it. I never got that much power before on other froyo roms.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigragu:
No. What ROM are you on?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshochoa187:
Fusion 1.1 stock kernel
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigragu:
Haven't used that one. Is there anything in the Changelog? Might just try a different ROM.

The phone runs in "E" not 3G If you go to settings, phone, Band I have it set for network type set for

GSM

& Band frequency set to

GSM (1900+850)

OS version 5.2.23103 (23103.5.3.3) Manila version 2.5.20131825.1 ROM version 1.07.707.1 (85429) WWE ROM date 03/25/10 RADIO version 0.63.05.05 Protocol version 32.26.05.04u

Please help.
[HD Mini General] fighter7139:
That's why it shows "g" or "E". Set both of them to "Auto".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jark99:
hey guys

i have read that some people within the Ontario region who bought their phones without a "proof of purchase" from Bell, have gone to 3rd party companies to fix their phones. (NOT Bell or Samsung) but a invidual retailer. Would anyone know of a few in Ontario that speacilize in this?

really in need of some help here. Cant send in phone through bell no receipt. Bell representative told me to ask about a 3rd party .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
if your account is with bell, you've had the receip via your bell accoun or via e-mail, check thoses two.

Or, they can check with your cust. number or by many means. The rep was probably just layzy!

give them a call, and see if they'll charge you even if they can't fix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
Did you just get your Galaxy S i9000m repaired by them?

What was your issue(s) with the phone? Was it the dead/damaged internal sdcard issue?

If so, how much did they charge you for your service?

Would greatly appreciate it if you could share this informations with others.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jark99:
When i had called them they said they wouldnt be able to fix my phone untill the FULL FLASH FILE was released....hmm...i may go vist them then.

edit** he didnt post it, someone else did
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
Thank you for the reply, I didn't realize it was a quote from someone else.

By the way, what do you mean by Full Flash File was released?

I am not understanding that part.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jark99:
What we do now is just a partial or firmware flash. Samsung or shall i say the 2nd party company that Bell sends phones too, they perform a FULL flash on the internal sd with their special programs. Either that or replace the motherboard. UNtil then we are stuck.
[Fascinate General] ptfdmedic:
...to me that the samsungs have their antennas placed in such a way that it is very prone to signal issues.

This comes after they swapped me out 3 times in my first month of service to try to get me a working data connection. My wifes droid 2 doesn't have the same problems and data is great. So they told me today that they are sending me a new droid x because the signal is a known issue.

I have mixed feelings about this cause I love the Fascinate. However not having data a connection really isn't an option. The x is still a sweet phone. If they know the antennas are poorly placed then I would doubt a software update is going to fix the issue.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Isn't the antennae in the bottom half of the device? I feel like I read that in the manual.
[Fascinate General] cseeley:
It seems to me that after the OTA update, that my reception went way up!
[Fascinate General] ptfdmedic:
The impression I got was that it wad a hardware defect. To get a better idea of signal strength go to settings,about phone,status and look at the signal strength number. It should be -86 to -92 according to the techs. Once you get -93 the signal isn't good data at all. I sit around -106 most of the time while my sides droid 2 is around -86 most of the time. Is ashame because these phones are really nice. They can tweak reception maybe with a software update but they can't fix a bad design. I wonder if this is why Verizon isn't pushing this phone like the other carriers are. I don't remember having this issue with my Epic prior to switching.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
The signal reporting could probably easily be fixed with a software update. I sit outside with full bars and a great signal, and that screen will show me the same values as when I'm inside with next to no signal. I wouldn't trust it to determine if there is a problem or not, but that is just me.

Also, when you have so many phones that are already good, and a few more on the way, how do you decide which one's to "push" to the public? I'd also guess that they'll wait until it gets updated to Froyo before pushing it more as I think it's the only phone they have still without it.
[Fascinate General] ptfdmedic:
They cram the droid x down everyones throats even though it is inferior to the fascinate. Why would they push a phone with so many known issues? I was simply suggesting that this may be a reason why you don't see verizon advertising the crap out of the fascinate.

As far as the signal goes I don't believe it is reporting wrong. It will take me almost a minute some times to connect a call after hitting send because there is no signal. I have a .01 mb/sec download spead on my fascinate cause the signal isn't strong enough for a more reliable connection.

I'm not the first to have this problem and my whole point was the tier 2 tech guy told me that antennas are a known issue and its a design issue on the samsung. I was simply sharing my experience thats all. I know a lot of people are in the same boat as me and at least there are options to switch models. They know its a problem and were quite willing to get me out of the fascinate. I never asked them for anything but help to get it working. They told me of they give me another fascinate i will have the same problem because its a design issue.

They could tweak the radio with an update but if it is a hardware issue it will never get fixed. Samsung doesn't have a good reputation for fixing these problems even the

easier software issues like GPS never gets fixed.
[Fascinate General] pvgomer:
Good for you, I'm getting tired of my fascinate too.i like my phone but the signal sucks, no gps when you need it, and I can't be farther then 20 feet from my wifi or I won't get signal o yeah and a ton of late txt's that i get from people like a day later.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
I always think that it is counterproductive to start a thread to complain about a device without including what market they live in. Also taking into consideration that it does not look like [OP] has been happy with any of the devices he has had since the beginning of September. I myself have not seen any issues with reception but if you look to the left you can see I'm in a major market. GPS does not annoy me. I might use it twice a week and I open gmaps put the phone on the dash and pick it up a minute later with a lock rain or shine. I've done some traveling and have not noticed any difference in signal from my past devices. And I would gather that if a true poll were to be done about peoples satisfaction with the fascinate it would reveal similar results below.

Worst phone ever. 1%

Don't like it. 4%

Love it. 95%

I wish you luck in your quest.

good day.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
I got a speed test result of 2Mbps down and 200Kbps down, both with -96dBm listed as the signal strength. Maybe the cellular antennae isn't designed as great as other devices, but you can't tell me that I should have an order of magnitude difference in bandwidth when the signal strength reading is the same (within the resolution that the software can measure) without there being a software issue.
[Fascinate General] ptfdmedic:
Wow. Ok. Well I'm in the Cleveland market not that it matters as its hardware related. Yes I'm complaining because I really like this phone but it doesn't work as as its supposed to. If you read the forums the galaxy s phone have lots of problems from gps, signal to slider and image retention. It a shame because these are really nice phones, probably the best ones out right now.

I'm not on a quest for a perfect phone. I had issues with the Epic as many others have had as well. I left Sprint because I am the father to 3 Autistic kids. We spend alot of time at the Cleveland clinic and for some reason Sprint doesn't cover there very well.

I left Sprint and moved to Verizon for the better network but with the Fascinate I have been unable to tap into the network. We communicate with our customers and our kids doctors via email so the data connection. So yeah I complain when something that I am paying good money for doesn't work. I don't have money to throw away and verizon is more expensive then sprint. I was impressed with verizons customer service and am grateful they are helping me solve this problem because in real life I have much bigger things to worry about. I just wanted to share what I was told. I'm not looking for problems with this phone but I do need more then. 01 mb per sec on the 3g side.

[Fascinate General] ptfdmedic:
I get you. This is an amzing phone but one marred with problems some of which could be fixed on the software side others that can't. But a great phone none the less.
[Fascinate General] ptfdmedic:
Maybe your right. My frame of reference was my wifes droid 2 network performance. There is a significant difference between the reported reception of the 2 devices . That also translates to the download speed as well. As far as the signal numbers go that is just what Verizon tech told me. But in all honesty now that you mention it you mention it didn't the iphone 4 have a reception reporting issue that was fixed by an update. I'm basing my issues on real world performance though and not just the numbers. The numbers just seem to coincide with my data connection issues. Verizon said it was my phone and not the service in my area but you may be correct with the signal reporting. Thanks for pointing that out.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
There's a post about fixing slow 3G speeds, I have doubled mine playing around with it. I moved to Verizon because T-Mo didn't have good service at my new residence, and I was dropping calls. Also only edge. I would have little or no signal for the hour drive from and to Savannah, and dead zones in some of the busiest parts of the city.

I was very reluctant to jump carriers because I had an N1, and absolutely loved it. When I made the decision, I did a significant amount of research, and waited a month to grab a fascinate on release.

I haven't seen a single instant of no service, or for that matter, a 3G connection. Even in the rural boonies I have at least your reported data speeds, and about two bars on signal. Sitting in the middle of a five floor concrete and stone courthouse which is notorious for killing connection, I pull down .78 average and a -92 dbm.

So then, in complete agreement with the above posters, unless you know something about the phone hardware from a very well founded technical standpoint that has escaped the rest of us who are having no such issues, then perhaps you should consider some other possibilities. maybe you just got a bad device?

Or.

Perhaps you are actually a Droid X Ninja, working for Motorola to dissuade the ignorant from buying a better device....

hmmmmm....

In all seriousness though, I would take it Verizon and see about a swap. Your area should have a sufficient infrastructure to have a decent experience.
