[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
Untrue statement about Sense UI being better than Touchwiz. I have had the eris, incredible and now the facinate and touchwiz is just fine. Load ADW as your launcher and you will really dig this phone over the eris for sure.

IMO... GPS is not that big of an issue for me as there are some work arounds to get satellites to lock quicker and if I do get burn in on my screen I will have it replaced.With the 2.2 update just around the corner it should help make this a more solid phone. (Especially after the developers get a hold of it!) If your ok with the size of the incredible, there isn't a better phone made but it lacks a good car dock/mount and the best case ever made, "kickstand case". My incredible did have a little better cell signal also... Having said that, good luck. The facinate will be a huge upgrade from the eris. And as stated before, this is all (IMO) with experience with all three.
[Fascinate General] mirrinigma:
Depending on your screen size preferences and the reviews you might want to take a look at the Samsung Continuum when it comes out - should be before your upgrade date. If you must have a notification when things happen then the ticker seems to be a great idea. We have yet to see how it affects battery life though.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
1. Yes. Also depends on your level of annoyance to the lag.

2. No.

3. None evident at all, after a month and a half.

4. Yes. I have always loved the sammy panorama feature.

No regrets at all.

good day.
[Fascinate General] bL33d:
Coming from a moto droid this phone is great!

Camera and camcorder are great

gps is iffy at time but works prob get fixed

I like touchwiz and find it not laggy at all in fact its one of the only launchers that dont lag when used with lwp. I mean launcher pro does not lag alot but u can see it in the app drawer alittle touchwiz app drawer has zero lag.

I dont use lagfix (uninstalled) i see no need for it actually i think just running the stock deodexed rom makes for a super smooth experiance.
[Fascinate General] TheSonicEmerald:
Problem is, I'm deciding between a Samsung Fascinate with AWESOME hardware (love that GPU) and a Droid X with 2. 2. It's hard!

Sent from Eris with Froyo
[Fascinate General] ktez:
Go to a corporate store and play with both of them - I briefly considered the Droid X but when I tried it out in the store, it just seemed slow and somehow cumbersome and not just from the size - even stock the Fascinate was smoother to me.
[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
If you liked the ERIS......... stay with SENSE UI. Its hard to give it up. I regret it!!!

As far as Games , if you want a gaming phone WAIT TILL THERE ARE QUALITY GAMES. And not 1 year old IPHONE PORTS.

Wait a little longer trust me.

BTW I had the droid X the camera was complete garbage!!! And I prefer capacative buttons at the bottom and not tactile ones like the x.

But again stay with sense. You get alot of built in options stock instead of 3rd party addons to get same options. Like copy and paste, and scrollable widgets.

Goodluck!!
[Fascinate General] TheSonicEmerald:
I'll just have to wait and see.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
1. I don't notice any lag for normal use. It only really lags on me when installing things from the Market, but I'm guessing this is a general issue with Android

2. GPS lock can take 10-20 sec, but isn't that bad. I've found that always leaving GPS on as opposed to turning it off/on as needed helps keep the lag from being as bad.

3. Haven't noticed any burn in on my phone

4. I haven't taken many pictures yet, but the one's I have taken have been good for a phone camera

I'd say go to a store and play with both devices. After using the capacitive buttons on the Fascinate for a couple weeks now, the physical buttons of the Droid X seemed annoying when I played around with one a few days ago. Also, if you're waiting until the 18th, FroYo should be out not long after that, and that is when I'd expect a lot of development to start up for ROMs and kernels, so the software should hopefully catch up to the great hardware in a couple months.
[Fascinate General] stevenraustin:
Droid X VS Fascinate

I just picked up the Fascinate a few days ago after returning the X. I had the X for three weeks. I agree with the poster that noted how BAD the X camera is. So far with the sammy I have not had any issues lag,GPS or otherwise. I had a Tmo Vibrant and loved it. My only complaint about the fascinate is the lack of 2.2. Other than that I think its the perfect size and weight. I currently carry and iPhone 4 and the Fascinate. I dont think I have taken the iPhone out of my laptop bag since I got the Samsung.
[Fascinate General] Chuban7:
you should wait and see if the nexus two comes to vzw
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
No, you shouldn't. Right now the Nexus Two is a mythical device that does not exist. Even if Google does decide to make one, it won't be out anytime soon, and there's a good chance it wouldn't be on Verizon first, if at all.

I came from an Eris myself, and had no problem dumping Sense UI. In fact, the last month I had it, I was running the KaosFroyo ROM, which is based on stock Froyo. Once I installed LauncherPro Plus, Dialer One, and a few other goodies, I realized that it was even better than when it ran Sense UI. If I were you, I would grab the Fascinate over the Droid X, because te hardware is superior, and Froyo will be out for it soon enough. Bing is a non-issue, since it can easily be removed by rooting, if you don't like it.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SimsDelt:
Anyone know any themes for Chevy's SSX? I don't know if I can use other themes on the ROM... and also if it is ok to use a Blur theme on it can I just open the theme in 7zip and remove the .apks in it so it doesn't install stuff back.

[myTouch 4G General] argoldst:
I have tried copying some of my movie files as well as my pictures and they won't transfer to the mytouch 4g. It says the files transfer, and I see them when viewing through window explorer but once I disconnect they are gone. If I plug it back in, the folder and files are gone.

However, some files like my music, has transferred with no issue.

I have tried using a different microsd card and the same thing happened. Anyone else experiencing this?

***This is odd, I downloaded and ran astro manager and went into my sd card. All the normal showing folders and files say "drw" next to them. All the files/folders that are now gone show up as files i cannot open with "-rw" next to them. Sadly I have no idea what this means.
[G2 and Desire Z General] veritasaequita:
can anyone remember or does anyone know the exact layout of the sd card on one of these G2's as if it was the day they powered it on for the first time? Such as follows "just exanple"

-Android

-secure

-dcim

-and so on and so forth

cause i paid nill attention that day but after doing a little data recovery on the sd card i have found some **** that i wouldnt typically see on any of my old cards be it G1, Nexus or whatver i can remember. Thanks in advance, veritas
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:

I was watching a video about the HTC Evo vs the Samsung Epic, and i noticed that he had a case that i thought was really cool, but i dont know which one it is, if someone could please tell me thatd be great.

ok, so i apparently also can give the link to the video, but the video was called

"Samsung Epic 4G vs. HTC EVO 4G Dogfight Pt. 1"

by phonedog
[EVO 4G Accessories] stealthl:
I believe it is this one. oops.............

They won't let me post outside links, but it is called Case-Mate

Looks good on the Evo
[EVO 4G Accessories] Brutus2TheMax:
Could also be the new Incipio but I think that case is to new for this video...

[EVO 4G Accessories] 00mred00:
fyi..if you are willing to wait for them...you can get these style cases from ebay for around $1.50 each from chinese and hong kong sellers. They look nice...but these snap on cases like this have been the flimsiest I have seen
[EVO 4G Accessories] ElAguila:
The Incipio Feather case looks just like that. I bought one and was disappointed. It popped right off when my phone fell onto the carpet. They do look and feel good but I don't fell like my phone is protected very well in one of them.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I did a quick comparison of the Incipio and Barely There HERE
[EVO 4G Accessories] :
I purchased a black and clear case on Ebay for 4.00 each...awesome quality an they came from California not china...they are the same case as the case-mate..so why pay 20.00 when you can get them on ebay for 4 or 5 bucks...I'm very happy with the 2 I purchased.....

[EVO 4G Accessories] wmdunn:
Looks like the price has gone up a little bit ... but the main thing I noticed is that the protection for the camera lens isn't the same as the "Barely There Case".
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
It's the same style of case as the Casemate but not the same case. The Casemate is one of the only super thin cases I've found that protect the camera lens, the one you posted does not. It's also the thinnest of all the ones that I've seen.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knasher:
What version of AlphaRev are you running. Some of them have a partition size too small for some of the larger roms so when you try to install them only have gets installed and the phone won't boot.

Either use a partition table with a larger system partition or a smaller rom or open the rom and delete some of the apps you don't want.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
They did not flash a different hboot, only the s-off procedure. And this does not change the partition sizes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zafatron:
I went to alpharev.nl and did the standard burn to disc and boot from CD procedure, so 1.8 I think?

Would going to Clockwork Mod and creating a 1GB partition w/ 0 swap memory resolve this?

From reading the first post of the ROM you're trying to install your SDcard should be all FAT32 with no EXT partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zafatron:
I formatted the microsd card to FAT32 using Windows, didn't create any partitions (seeing as the rom author said it's not needed) flashed the ROM via CWM but it still hangs at the screen. Even after removing some system apps manually, I cut the size down by 10meg near enough.

I simply don't understand what could be wrong here...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zafatron:

I've sorted it now - wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalv cache, create a ext3 partition of 1gb (all done through CWM) and then flashed.

Was in the same situation, will pass very fast. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadow79:
I had the same problem.

This is what I did:

1) Boot in ubuntu (u can burn a CD, boot from the CD and try it out - not necessary to install) or you can burn GParted Live CD

2) partition your SD card whit GParted

3) mount your partitions

4) boot in windows and format again your SD card

5) copy the ROM that you want to install on the SD card

6) boot your device in recovery, install the ROM, reboot and your done

Hope this help you out.

Ok. So obviously anyone who has installed the google goggles remover app from the market from paul will have issues to install the ota download via bootloader. I've tried pauls method to fix this and flash back to stock rom via fastboot which could be found here - http://android.modaco.com/content/t...ng-to-stock-1-19-before-applying-the-new-ota/

My issue is it doesn't work for me. Downloaded the pc10img rom, downloaded the fastboot zip. Created a folder on my desktop named android and I put both files in there. I then extracted the fastboot zip and tried to open windows-fastboot exe which was in the zip but all I get is a black screen that opens and closes within 2 seconds. I also tried going to start->run->cmd and trying the last 3 points from pauls site and I get a unsupported command error in cmd terminal in windows. I'm using windows wista 32 bit ( if that matters ). Any ideas fellas? Your help is much appreciated.

how I did it

I had the goggles removed....

I forgot my sync cable at work.... so I renamed the .zip file to pc10img.zip

put it on the root level of my sdcard (i.e. not in any folders). I used a MicroSD adapter.

Then powered up my G2/vision while holding the touch button.

Went to the bootloader and it did a file check and found the zip file and began reflashing then reset and finished.

I also had the update.zip in the same place and it went hands free. No problems.

I used appbrain to back up my apps. but thats me.

Cheers
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Just tried this method. Now my g2 is stuck at a black screen with a phone and a green arrow after the OTA update was installed via bootloader..

[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Make sure you have it named update noticed you had udate as the spelling. And if you did pauls way and reverted back to stock / wiped then you shouldn't have problems loading the update . Make sure its on the root of your sd card. Then update via bootloader.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ~~Tito~~:
Its not that hard, all you do is place the latest OTA update on your sd card, and rename it to update.zip. . .Its easier than it looks. Then you just boot into recovery, and flash it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingvaj23:
But we want to know what we do when we used the google goggles remover app
[G2 and Desire Z General] ~~Tito~~:
You have to reflash the stock ROM, meaning it erases everything, then you flash the ota on top. Paul has more infoat his site.
[G2 and Desire Z General] franky1029:
I did just this when I got home and it worked perfectly.

i tried this and it doesnt seem to see the PC10IMG.zip on my sd card. Whemn i hold volume down and power it goes into fastboot and just sits there any thoughts?

[G2 and Desire Z General] ~~Tito~~:
You do realize you have to run the fastboot commands through adb. And that file has to be located where you have fastboot, or the sdk tools folder is.

*then read name it to PC10IMG.zip

*Put it on the root of your sd card.

*Power down phone

*Power up phone holding Vol Down and Power button.

*Phone will boot into fastboot i believe and then it will look for PC10IMG

*It will ask to flash it you use the vol key and power buttons to do that.

*Once it done it will reboot the phone and all your data will be gone and your be back at factory setting.

Then just rename the ota to update.zip and flash via recovery.

*remover the PC10IMG.zip from root of sd card

* Get back into the fastboot on the phone (setups up there^)

*this time use the vol button to go down to recovery.

*Once at recovery hold vol up and hit the power button.

*then vol down to flash update.zip

it worked for me
