Finally got it.

Hey everyone. Finally registered to let everyone know I got the dl09 update in Indianapolis at about 3 a.m. Does anyone have a full list of changes other than the not so specific VZW PDF? The haptic buttons staying illuminated is pretty awesome. Also my GPS located me, in my apartment, not only for the first time but in less than one minute. Cheers folks.

Sent from my stock Fascinate with DL09!!!!
[Fascinate General] dummy4droid:
Same here(registered here to post update confirmation), and can also confirm the DL09 update here in NY State.

wooo - hooo!, GPS now works almost instantly and it's accurate to within a few meters. ahh, the simple pleasures in Droidian life... :cool:
[Fascinate General] kuronosan:
5AM in Kansas, update starting.
[Fascinate General] dco717:
Got it a 3am wow now my phone works the way it should have out the box still want 2.2 there lagging ahh now I gotta wait for z4root to update so I can reroot
[Fascinate General] pwalde:
I just downloaded the "minor" DL09 update and its installin as we speak. will get back and see if there is any difference. I'm a newbie so I'm not delving deep, just seeing overall differences, especially if the GPS gets better. Mostof the time when I am at home "My Location" puts me in the next town over, about 2-3 miles away.

PS Live in Berkley, MA about 40 mile due south of Boston, MA
[Fascinate General] doobieking420:
anyone notice you can push for the update after it's installed? not sure if it's a double dildo or what. is there 2 parts to this update? thx mami:cool:
[Fascinate General] Mararunr:
No in AR. Server unavailble until Tue night. Says No update since then.
[Fascinate General] idiocracy:
Just got it in PA. GPS locks in seconds instead of hours...
[Fascinate General] madcow706:
Got it here in GA, 7AM. GPS locks are much faster. So it looks like once an update is announced it rolls out on day 4? That a fair statement or what?
[Fascinate General] shark1586:
Got it here in va
[Fascinate General] pwalde:
I'm back (guy from Berkley, MA). I get a pretty good signal so it took about 3-5 min to do the update. Here is what I've noticed on reboot

- seems a tad faster

- GPS symbol to left of 3G sig strenfth meter different, looks like the one on my old RAZR 3m

- Still has Bing as search

- GPS doesn't seem any faster and was jumping around. Initial lock put me 1 mile away to Nortwest, then about .5 mile away due East, after about 2 min it looks like I'm about 600 ft Northeast, and I am at 14 feet AMSL thats at least 100 ft below my actual 115 ft AMSL, glad I am not flying or I'd be ditch digging

I've got all location services turned on, no WiFi in my area at this point. See how it works when I get home.

I'm too much of a newbie, to try and root at this juncture. Maybe after reading further in XDA site I will be more confident.

Overall DL09 does't seem to be a great leap. Are ther any bench marking tools to compare to other people stats?
[Fascinate General] revision78:
Goit it here in Houston starting at 7am. haven't grabbed it yet.
[Fascinate General] papstar:
Finally downloading now (Massachusetts).
[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
Got the update in AZ but noticed the "innopath" or update button is no longer in my phone...

GPS finally works as it should. I'll see how it works while moving or (driving) later on.
[Fascinate General] strictlyphat:
In nj just checked for update and bam! Finally updated and GPS sets in 5 seconds. Finally been waiting for a fix. And finally an update even if its still eclair.
[Fascinate General] holycow90:
GPS Settings

I got the update, however GPS is still broke. I messed around in the gpssettings trying to fix it before the update. Can someone post their settings with a working GPS with the update?

*#1472365# gets into the GPS settings on the verizon fascinate.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
YEP!

Ok, my disgruntledness is over. I too got it this morning and updated my and my wife's phones.

Update took only a few minutes and all seems good.

GPS definitely works a lot quicker for me as it took about 10seconds to nail my location and be locked in. Also, does seem more responsive, but that could simply be due to the reboot. Will have to see after a days use.

The new location icon in the notification bar is meh. Don't see the point, but I guess.

Well, let's hope that by tomorrow/weekend it proves to solve all our issues. So far mine is great!
[Fascinate General] johnnyv5:
Can anyone that got this update track there battery life? I flashed the all in one DL09 update and battery life sucked. I went back to the all in one DI01 and battery life is back to what it used to be.

jv
[Fascinate General] cam815:
As do I and I just got it this morning.
[Fascinate General] Silentdeath11:
So I got the update this morning. Downloaded it and started the install. Call me stupid but it keeps erroring out saying something about IP previous update failed. Mine is stock besides installing clockwork. 8 and rooting my device. Does this have to be returned to 100% stock before update will take.
[Fascinate General] theBNich:
I don't understand everyone's excitement over this update since Andrynalyne released DL09 a month ago. It's the same thing, right? I assumed everyone on this forum was rooted--is that not the case?
[Fascinate General] cam815:
You know what happens when you assume, right? :p

I simply haven't found a reason to do so yet (other than for geek-related reasons). I changed ROMs on my old Windows Mobile phone like they were pants, but so much of the phone works in a way that I'm totally fine with, I have yet to run into something that really requires me to root the thing.
[Fascinate General] theBNich:
Interesting, I would have thought more people would want to flash this phone than the others because of the terrible stock GPS. At least to DJ05...I can understand not caring much about DL09.

...speaking of which, have there been any confirmed differences between DJ05/DL09?
[Fascinate General] cam815:
My first Fascinate, which I had for 5 days, wouldn't lock at all. But I had overall signal issues (experience here). When I had Verizon give me a new one after showing them first hand with my phone side-by-side with their showcase phones, my new phone locked virtually instantly and my signals have been great. Both phones were on DI01 so I just had lemon antennas is my guess.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
Yes. You will have to return it to stock for it to bypass the OTA checks.

EDIT: Noticed below at least one user has said they updated while rooted. But I do know you must have the stock files.
[Fascinate General] b_beau_09:
is there any way to remove root without using a computer? I'm at work and I'm a bit impatient.. and when I get home, I have a mac, not a PC, so I can't just flash an odin file.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
I also have not rooted yet as I was waiting for a significant reason to do so. I am good with the LauncherPro setup and the stock experience as I can set all my on screen items to Google, etc.

If dev community puts out a 2.2 or 2.3 stable release, then yes I'll root. I almost never used GPS and there was no other big issue that hurt my experience with this phone.

So, I was happily waiting for this update as it will hopefully fix the other minor issues such as occasional lag and of course the GPS will work quickly in the very rare time I actually need it. (I've only used it twice since September)

I also am not geeky enough to overclock anything (don't even do it on my self built PCs) and the other rom stuff is good, but I'm happy with what I have as mentioned earlier.

ok, enough rambling, but I hope this gives you another view point.
[Fascinate General] SeatownGST:
YES - Seattle/WA. 11am PST.

Was on DI01, ROOTED, successfully OTA'd to DL09.

Beat the crap out of my battery though, haha. Or maybe it's accurately reporting it. Either way, it would be great to see an overall change list.

I didn't have any kernels or ROMs installed though, just rooted for adfree and titanium backup, but I felt I should report that OTA worked. I haven't checked to see if root and stuff still works, I'm not going to futz with it since I don't have a charger at the office, haha.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
Updated very early this morning and have used my phone as I do everyday. I haven't noticed any difference in battery life. I will happily provide info if I notice it draining faster or lasting longer.
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
No, the update didn't start rolling out until yesterday....

Seems like a lot of you here are early adopters. You all seem to have gotten the update in the first or second 12 hour window. Rock on.
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
Ding ding ding ding ding
[Fascinate General] wscaddie56:
So were you on stock DI01 and were rooted or were you using a custom ROM? I'm on a jt superclean DI01 and hoping to have someone else be brave and take the OTA before I do it!

Thanks!!
[Fascinate General] NYHoustonman:
Pardon my noobishness, I'm having the same issue. I grabbed the stock Fascinate data dump, so I have everything... Which folders should I be copying? Previous updates were suggesting that .apk's must be stock, which would be (I think) /system/app - should I be restoring more than that?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT - I'm guessing I could answer this question for myself if I could keep the actual error up - the phone automatically reboots as soon as the update fails, so I can't find any specific information. Is this logged anywhere?
[Fascinate General] mdram-omnia:
got it this morning, i was stock with root

still trying to get re-rooted

cant even get manual to work
[Fascinate General] madcow706:
Not sure if anyone has noticed this, but after I updated to DL09, the E911 icon stays on the status bar at the top, anyone know how to get rid of it?
[Fascinate General] Avelnan:
I just turned off Google location services.
[Fascinate General] cynicismisfun:
I'm in VA and am installing the update on my rooted fascinate. Granted, while it is rooted, I have yet to put clockworkmod or anything like on it...tried once, thought I bricked my phone, and am currently trying to build up the courage to do it again!
[Fascinate General] buddyellis:
I was able to root a bone stock DL09 install, however the install of the apk errored out. It did actually install, however. To be honest, I would recommend just installing the adrynalyne de-binged, already rooted rom :

I received DL09 last night. And phone is performing way better. No complaints here except...where's my froyo?
[Fascinate General] johnnyv5:
Can you let me know how your battery performs? See if it stays like it was before u updated. I used Whosdaman's process to get to DL09 but was having horrible battery life.

[Fascinate General] jselden:
My wife received the OTA today. made her download.

Johnny: as for my battery, i may have been using it more today but i am already down to 34% myself and usually i am at about only 65% by now.
[Fascinate General] DevinLeFevere:
Anyone using this on a Apple? I can't get back to my USB Storage now. It just pops up as a CD with two exe files. WTF Samsung!?
[Fascinate General] Negroidius:
I loaded it through Settings> about Phone> System Updates. My phone is rooted with ClockWorkMod, Titanium, and Connectbot. GPS works great now. Pinpointed my house (from inside) in about 20 seconds, GPS test showed 7-9 Sats. with a best accuracy of 13.9 ft.

The update unrooted the phone. I will try and re-root it tonight. The Softkeys stay lit with the screen as promised. The new icon at the top cannot be easily removed it will show connection status " ))) " symbol when any of the 3 location modes are checked.

I am having excellent results just using Standalone mode. I have seen a lot of complaints that people are having trouble mounting thrit USB devices or needing to reload Samsung drivers, I have no such problems.

So far so good, the GPS fix alone is worth it,

Works Great... Finally!!
[Fascinate General] tokyo machine:
I received the OTA at 8:00am this morning on a full charge. I am now at 47% after very heavy data, wifi, and calling. I'd say possibly a little better life, on a stock unrooted device.
[Fascinate General] justin94:
Just checked my wife's phone. Were in San Diego, CA. She for the update. I wont cuz I'm running dj05. I'm waiting on a working froyo build.

Edit. Her update failed. She's Gonna wait till she receives it normally

so fresh and so superclean.
[Fascinate General] m91-30:
as opposed to 8am this afternoon?
[Fascinate General] m91-30:
got mine last night. gps is a little quicker to lock than it normally was, but is much more consistently quick to lock, and can now get a lock in my basement in under a minute.

Got Updated but many new bugs now :( !!

ALERT ALERT ALERT !!

—————————–

Read this first !!

———————

I have a samsung fascinate from verizon wireless. Last night my phone got updated automatically. It left a weird icon on my status bar next to the 3G symbol. It is kind of like a plus mark inside a rhombus with signal strength ‘)))’ next to it. Sort of like this

[+]))) .. not exact .. but you get the idea… its a plus sign inside rhombus with signal strength on the right side to it.

I was suspecting it to be my verizon navigator but its not… i have stopped all applications using my advanced task killer but it still shows up. I also rebooted the phone but it didnt work. So I was thinking it could be some network issue and didnt touch it again. I think it is the new GPS icon.. not sure.. its persistent even when I turned off my GPS...

Also, when I connect my phone to the computer (Mac) it doesnt connect in usb mode at all.. it says “verizon mobile” and disconnects automatically.. and I am not able to open it in mass storage mode. I also tried media mode … nothing works…

I have done a factory reset (ofcourse backed up my apps and data.. thanks to My Backup App) ... anyway... even after factory reset, the phone does not connect to my Mac.. Doesn't get rid of that stupid status icon...

Does anyone have the same behavior? I searched in all forums but no luck !!

Please let me know,

Btw, here is the description of my update

When I check the status of system updates this is what I have

Source: Verizon Wirelss

Name : SCH-I500_commericialPackage_DL09

Status: Update Successful

code: 200

[Fascinate General] Djgang:
Have the same problem with my update. It doesnt connect to my Mac at all :( !! I tried factory reset too.. still no luck :( :( !!

Also, the update left a weird status icon beside the 3g symbol.. its not going away :( :(
[Fascinate General] lightchylde3:
I would say if anything its stayed about the same. Maybe a tad bit better. Just a little. I received the update OTA about two days ago. Overall I'm very pleased.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
The new symbol is the E911 icon, and the things next to it are to show that location services outside of E911 are enabled.
[Fascinate General] Jrex:
My battery life seems great, of course I am stock no root. The other things I have noticed are, the 911 location indication, the newer youtube widget, and I have noticed gps lock is close to instant now. A lot of the small hicups are gone so far, and the soft touch buttons stay lit with the screen. As far as lag, it was never apparent to me before the update, but, I don't do much rss or anything of that nature where others claim the lag comes from. So for me the update is a win!
[Fascinate General] idiocracy:
Does updating to this affect the basic root etc... guidlines/files on here ? Or will some of the files be specific to DL09 such as odin... ?
[Fascinate General] m91-30:
further analysis reveals no problems so far. connects to ubuntu 10.10 great by simply mounting it from the phone. I see the touch panel staying lit reducing battery life, possibly quite a bit. the phone does seem faster and crisper than before.
[Fascinate General] drnihili:
Got mine today here in Idaho. GPS still is extremely slow. No lock in over ten minutes. I'm not very fond of the E911 icon, but thats just a preference. I haven't noticed much else that's different yet
[Fascinate General] m91-30:
you have to turn on gps for it to lock. once you do that, if it doesn't lock on, you might have a bad phone.
[Fascinate General] Canofsoda:
Still no update

I still haven't received the OTA DL09 update here in San Francisco, CA. I've checked for the update manually, but I still get nothing.

Is anyone else in my position? Is there another way to install the maintenance update? Any help is appreciated!:)

*My Fascinate is stock and unrooted.

Firmware version

: 2.1-update1

Baseband version

: S:i500.04 V.DI01

Kernel version

: 2.6.29

Build number

: SCH-I500.DI01

P.S. I do not care about the USB problems since I barely connect my phone to my computer via USB.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
This might seem like a simple solution, but do you have wifi turned on when checking for the update? It needs to be off
[Fascinate General] Canofsoda:
Wifi was turned off. I was only on Verizon's 3G when i checked for the update.
[Fascinate General] bendbowden:
Just use the dl09 odin. It's the exact same thing. You can find it in the development forum.

BTW: you don't have to be rooted to use. Just follow the directions step by step.
[Fascinate General] Xanius:
That's odd, my wife got the OTA update like 2 days after it was posted on here that it was coming out and we're in concord.

I have a non-stock rom so I don't know if I'd get it or not. But it was rolled out to the SF area already, I'd say download the odin package and install it. Just make sure you read the odin directions and follow it.
[Fascinate General] drnihili:
Just for the record, a couple of reboots later and GPS is nice and snappy. Not sure what the hitch was.
[Fascinate General] sreymj:
Same with my wife's OTA. The GPS was flakey for a while.
[Fascinate General] mav3rick478:
Downloaded fine on my wife's phone last night (Santa Rosa CA), did turn off wifi and it synched right up to the servers. Installed fine, she hasn't used her phone since though because she works graves, I'll ask her tonight when I get home I if she noticed anything different besides the E911 symbol which she asked me about this morning as I left for work.

Hoping Froyo comes soon because I've had it since we got our phones last summer, obviously from my sig you guys know what I have.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] eamo777:
Hi, Ive only just stumbled upon Golauncher and editing my Desire HD.

Ive tried to create my own pics to add as a icon on my phone... I have looked at the different threads and dont know where to post this so here goes....

I am using Golauncher and desktop visualiser but when i add a pic to launch the icon i cant get the pics to fit the size of the space... i have tried editing them, making them larger, wider etc but cant get it right; i also tried resizing them with go launcher itself but the border doesnt fit tight to the pic. I have icons on my home screen but there are large gaps between them.

I need pixel sizes for all the different variations e.g 1x1, 2x1 etc

Any advice on what im doing wrong??

Thanks
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] craigdhd:
I can't help with go launcher, sorry know not very helpful to original question, but I find desktop visualizer is ideal for this job. You can add an shortcut icon of any grid pattern size will add a box initially, just take a screen shot and edit on computer to match sizes exactly for your chosen grid pattern. It also resizes icons well to fit in anywhere, Im using it on launcher pro for a 7x7 grid cause standard icons always get cropped due to small space.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N23:
I think without root/sde this will be impossible because the system files of the standard android version from archos are read only and there is no way to change this - they are saved in a non-writeable, signed containerfile...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N23:
Okay, another point in the done this/been there list:

change the qwerty.kl and the gpio-keys.kl in /system/usr/keylayout/ according to your hardware-layout.

Example:

From: key 21 Y
To: key 21 Z

Confirmed to work with a Apple-USB-Keyboard - changed succesfully from qwerty to qwertz, on-screen-keyboard stayed the same an works properly.

If this meets the requirements for the bounty - please donate it to $aur0n for his great work ;)

Edit: the /system/ directory is read only on the standard android from archos - this is not changeable.

So how do we clean up the rom? As task 29 does'nt do what its supposed to do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Thats because the splash screen isnt stored in section of nand that gets erased, the only part that gets erased is the rom data part.

If you want to change the nand you need to flash a stock rom or flash a new spalshscreen to splash 1 or splash 2 section.

there is plenty of info about this. Just use search and search topic titles for words "splash" and "splashscreen"
