[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
Any of jellette's latest roms have extraordinary battery life. I'm currently running M10 and after getting up at 430 this morning, now 715 pm, still at 51%.

Sent from my nuclear powered submarine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naoufel2000:
It's the best i've seen so far, after about 24 hours of moderate use: wifi, about 30 minutes of calling, about 30 minutes navigation, few downloads and install, i even watched an episode of the daily show, the battery is still at 50%

I think it's the best i've seen so far, but then again, I was on JFD then JI6 up until a couple of weeks ago.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] si12j12:
Battery life has improved to nearly double what I would normally get on 2.1 , rooted & stock :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblade1000:
interesting...my battery life has essentially been halved coming from rooted, stock JI6 (minus most bloat). if i unplug this thing at 5:50 am and listen to music (with the screen off) for 45 minutes while working out, and syncing email once an hour, the battery is at 30% by 10:30am. before the update it'd be at 80% to 85%.

any suggestions? It's getting pretty unusable honestly, especially being the owner of a nexus s as well...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblade1000:
just wanted to post an update that i finally got up the nerve to install modified 3e recovery which in turn let me get (and keep) Clockwork mod recovery, where i flashed the new K1B modem and wiped the battery stats.

Im conditioning the battery by letting it drain down and will charge it to full again, but so far I'm happy to report that battery life is now excellent for a vibrant.

went through heavy use today of 3g, streaming, gps, and 2.5 hours in phone calls and im at 18 percent currently (been off the charger for 13+ hours).

Very acceptable for how i use my phone. before this change it was hemorraging power and needed to be recharged twice in the same day ( mid morning and again when i got home). I'm happy with my phone again!

P.S. KB1 modem is a beast, i hit 6.1mbs down, and gps accurate to 9 meters, and under power usuage cell standby only accounted for 4% of power where as it was 20ish% before. holy crap
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyvaporizer:
+1

KB1 modem is the best by far. Went 26 hours without a charge over the last few days. I highly recommend it!!! Just wait until these devs can conjure up some even better battery for us!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drcrappants:
how do i check this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
You can go to menu button> settings>about phone> then status gives battery level and battery use give the % of power usage by task

You can get apps for this, don't really need them.

If you want to recondition the battery........ look in the sticky in General there is a how to there
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drcrappants:
How do I check the gps accuracy? And what does it mean to lock on
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyvaporizer:
Use anycut to make a shortcut of lbstestmode on your home screen then click "get position test". It will then display how many satellites there are in the sky and how many you've locked onto

Btw "locked on" means that your phone can see a satellite and it can see you basically. Your phone connects to many different satellites and the more it locks onto, the more accurate your location. Hope this helps
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drcrappants:
What id lbstestmode?

I used gps status and after ten

Seconds I get 7/13 locks and error of 15m. Is that good?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyvaporizer:
That's very good, lbstestmode is an included package in android used to test your gps. Your readings mean that your phone is locked on and it knows where you are within 15 meters
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drcrappants:
Thanks. What is the cut off good in this case?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wojg21:
Hello all,

I have a Bell Samsung Galaxy S with the Froyo 2.2 upgrade. Today I when I connected my phone to the usb cable I noticed there was a firmware upgrade. So I proceeded with the upgrade. It was downloading and installing as usual then when it hit 100% a message popped up saying that the upgrade failed and that you need to do an emergency repair. So I panicked just a tad and clicked emergency repair. It did its thing, rebooted, and it's back up and running. I disconnected the usb after everything settled down and reconnected it to try again and I get that "This is the latest firmware." message and that the current firmware installed on my phone is PDA:JL2 / PHONE: JL2 / CSC:JL2 and latest firmware is PDA:JL2 / PHONE: JL2 / CSC:JL2.

What should I do now? Wait and see if and update comes for this firmware or what? I think the firmware it installed on my phone is different then what it was when I installed Froyo 2.2 back in November or so. If memory serves me correctly I think it was JK4. Anyways, what suggestions does anyone have regarding my issue.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GOTFrogqc:
Dont worry JL2 is what replacer JK4 tgat was killing SD cards. JL2 id 2.2 not 2.2.1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wojg21:
OOh [turns red], ok, I might have not read what kind of firmware version was being installed. I thought it was 2.2.1 because I've read that it was recently released. That's my bad for not reading what it said. Thanks for the response, greatly appreciated.
[Fascinate Android Development] supercurio:
Hi there :)

The kind of kernel published here are only stock kernels, which means the exact same code build by Samsung for Vibrant phones.

Of course, there's a difference: Voodoo lagfix 5 stable has been injected in them, with its extensions and also ClockWorkMod recovery as default recovery.

Voodoo lagfix converts /system, /cache, /dbdata and /data to Ext4 with optimized parameters for speed but also guaranteeing data integrity.

Also, it configures the write behavior of Linux to prevent lag from happening, plus apply some memory management providing a better balance than stock settings.

Also supported: custom boot animation, init.d scripts and an improved adb shell (new!)

This kernel also installs the su binary for your convenience. Only activated once you download Superuser App from market. If you don't want to "root" your phone, skip this part.

How do choose the version?

The best version is the closest to the one of the ROM / system you run.

If you use a custom ROM instead of an official Samsung one, ask your ROM dealer which one is closer :D

update.zip you can flash with ClockWorkMod recovery (not 2e or 3e) or SGS Kernel Flasher

JL3+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+...+Voodoo-Froyo-T959D-TLJL3-unsigned-update.zip

.tar you can flash with Odin or Heimdall

JL3+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+Voodoo/tarballs/stock+Voodoo-Froyo-T959D-TLJL3.tar

Note, please disable any other lagfix previously installed, especially OCLF-kind (the conversion to Ext4 would take ages)

These kernels are only for Telus Fascinate (T959D), sorry Verizon Fascinate pals.

EDIT: How Lame, I created this thread in the General section after seeing other T959D threads here ^^ A moderator help is welcome ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] roccos_van:
Thank you!

Just flashed this and enabled the voodoo lagfix! So far so good! Just a note...I have SGS Kernel flasher and it won't flash the .tar, it will flash the .zip.

Quadrant score: 1517 first try, 1577 second try.

Just sent you a little donation, thank you again.
[Fascinate Android Development] supercurio:
Thank you, I updated now the post, also to say it's tested ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
THANK YOU!!!
[Fascinate Android Development] nmyeti:
Glad to see you on the fascinate, even if it is not the verizon version.
[Fascinate Android Development] cowvun:
Wow wow wow.....thank you so much for this.

Custom roms for the T959D, YES?!?!!!!

Anyways, i appreciate your hard work. Is there any common issues?
[Fascinate Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
is there anyway we can get this kernal overclocked and undervolted? im not giving up my 1.28ghz so i can have a working home button
[Fascinate Android Development] daoom:
Flashed this last night and everything is working fantastically. Many thanks as well as a donation later today.

An overclocked version of this kernel would be fantastic as well, is that in the realm of possibility?
[Fascinate Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
thx 4 super! we have been saying that for weeks now and no1 has taken a stand. Some1 with as good a rep for android as u should b able to get us our own "hiding place" :)
[Fascinate Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
By The way. is it possible to port a working i9000 kernal OC/UV kernel over to T959D?
[Fascinate Android Development] cowvun:
Did you flash any i9000 or Vibrant roms onto your phone yet?
[Fascinate Android Development] supercurio:
As this is a stock and stable kernel sorry guys overclocking wont happens with it.
[Fascinate Android Development] daoom:
I've flashed both in the past and the quirks were too much for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] cowvun:
Nevermind guys.
[Fascinate Android Development] madizmo:
Thank you so much for this, working awesome.
[Fascinate Android Development] AnotherLameUser:
I'm flashing this now as I type, thank you for your hard work its appreciated.
[Fascinate Android Development] Rabid_Gypsy:
Worked flawlessly here! Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] adsam3927:
Im running Nero v5 ROM which I understand is KA5 with the Speedmod Kernel on my Telus Fascinate T959D and its running superb

If I flash over the KA6 kernel, will I lose the Speedmod Kernel along with all the TWEAKS ??

With all these kernels around including the Voodoo injected T959D just posted by supercurio Im wondering whether which will be the best combination with Nero v5...Voodoo 5.2 lagfix is also now available so confused...
[Fascinate Android Development] mattsolberg:
Question from a first time flasher.

Do I have to rename the zip to "update.zip" in order to flash?
[Fascinate Android Development] mattsolberg:
Never mind. Apparently not!
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
No, you have a few options.

If you have stock kernel, then you don't have Clockwork Recovery, so:

1. Use SGS Kernel Flasher (free in market) to select the kernel (the .zip) from your sd card and flash it using the app

or

2. Use Odin to flash the kernel (the .tar) by putting it in the PDA box.

If you aren't familiar with Odin, it might be easier to use SGS Kernel Flasher. In the future, you can just do it using Clockwork Recovery but the stock Telus kernel just doesn't have it so you have to do use an alternative method at first.
[Fascinate Android Development] cowvun:
Which speedmod kernel are you using that enables you to run vibrant mods?
[Fascinate Android Development] adsam3927:
This one...and it works perfect ...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822756

only thing is the home button acts as a back button and cant access the task manager for switching applications ...but Im ok with that

Just with the release of all these kernels and lagfixes I wondered whether or not to go back to stock kernel with Nero v5
[Fascinate Android Development] daoom:
Well, it doesn't run "perfect" now does it. Just because you're willing to live with some defects doesn't make them meaningless. I've tried I9000 kernels and Vibrant ROMs and there are always glitches of some kind or another. Whenever someone install one and reports on how they are "perfect" all it tells me is that they haven't really tested all the functionality yet.
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=923712

Follow my guide. The only things that don't work on Vibrant ROMs are fixed by flashing the proper kernel/modem over top. YES, IT WILL BE 100% PERFECT.

I agree with you, there is no sane reason that any Telus Fascinate user should be putting up with a malfunctioning home button or other issues.
[Fascinate Android Development] daoom:
Well off the top of my head, what about the FM radio? I also had GPS issues (i.e., it wouldn't even start)
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
I must confess, I haven't used an FM radio in years. You might be right about that, but I can't comment. As far as GPS, I haven't had a single problem.

Did you flash supercurio's kernel and telus's modem?
[Fascinate Android Development] adsam3927:
Thanks for the guide you posted...

By "perfection" I was talking software related...hardware is now definitely in line with software....
[Fascinate Android Development] roccos_van:
Perfection is not a good word to describe any software or hardware for that matter in the smartphone world. Now having said that...coming from stock 2.2 to nero v5 with voodoo kernel I can tell you without a doubt that the custom rom and kernel are light years ahead of stock.
[Fascinate Android Development] adsam3927:
Ive been reading on the forums that the new KA7 with voodoo kernel is lightning fast...do you think its worth flashing that instead of the Telus injected kernel? Im wondering if that KA7 is based on i9000 which means again losing the home button functionality
[Fascinate Android Development] wwowz:
Thank you Thank you Thank you! Thank you very much for this kernel.

Works perfectly!!! Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] chaosthebomb:
hey nub here with a nub question.

I downloaded the sgs kernel flasher and rom manager to apply this over my stock rom but each application says it requires root.

So my question is do i need to root my phone before doing this?

I had my htc hero rooted and have just neglected rooting this phone or putting on a custom rom as I don't want to go through the process of reinstalling all my apps... or getting back to where i am in angry birds :P
[Fascinate Android Development] mattsolberg:
Root, then download Titanium Backup. Will backup your apps and data associated with it. Meaning, no starting over with Angry Birds!
[Fascinate Android Development] chaosthebomb:
then i guess ill be installing nero tonight too :D
[Fascinate Android Development] wwowz:
make sure you install nero v5, NOT bionix-V (as linked by team whiskey). Bionix-V will brick your phone :(
[Fascinate Android Development] chaosthebomb:
I'm having one hell of a time rooting my phone, but ill post a new topic for that. Im wondering where the Nero v5 download link is, I can't find it on the team whisky website.
[Fascinate Android Development] wwowz:
Here is the link by roccos_van.
[Fascinate Android Development] tenthousandfeet:
Thank you!

After installing this kernel, rom manager doesn't seem to believe that Clockwork is installed. Any problems with doing the clockwork install in rom manager after flashing this kernel?
[Fascinate Android Development] joethc:
Is it possible to incorporate voodoo sound in this kernel? Just curious I tried to run it but it says the kernel is not supported.
[Fascinate Android Development] mattsolberg:
Voodoo sound is something I would really be interested in checking out as well. Once, or if, I get my bricked Fascinate back from Samsung that is...
[Fascinate Android Development] wwowz:
Same. I was not able to run voodoo sound app for this kernel.

:((((
[Fascinate Android Development] intelligencexan:
noob question

hello.

do i really have to root my device before flashing this using odin? or can i just simply put the. tar file and flash my device with it?

the reason im asking is because on voodoo dev webaite it says that u dont have to root the device to get voodoo no lagfix.
[Fascinate Android Development] cowvun:
Can someone explain to me the modems?

I'm wondering why we can't use KA5 for example instead of JL3?

Is there a way to do that?
[Fascinate Android Development] tenthousandfeet:
Anyone?

I'm concerned I'll lose the Voodoo control in Clockwork if I install a different version from Rom manager. I guess I could always just flash it again with Odin if I needed to, but the less flashing the better.

Also, does anyone have the stock Kernel backed up to share? I neglected to back up my original kernel, and it would be nice to have the original in case I need to return the phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] johnelway:
Here is my original kernel backup from my Telus Fascinate 959D

i was able to use a dragon kernel based on a t959D with bln, but when i would charge the phone it would crash...obviously a major issue as i need to charge my battery

Hi,

Could someone please pm me with an activation code, I have had to re-install my Rom and now can't get a code out of MS : (.

Help very much appreciated.

It appears that the codes are re-useable so I wouldn't complain about an already used code : )

Thanks to anyone willing to help me out.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] changochulo:
I really dont understand why people ask other members for activation codes.

Those who have codes have done the work for themselves.

Its not too hard to get a code yourself.

If you live in another country, install skype and call the TOLL FREE number and get your code.

I always up for helping someone out, but I see all these members asking others for codes just because they are lazy and dont want to spend 5 minutes on the phone to get a code.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] daz1uk:
Microsoft have stopped giving out codes, you now need an IMEI and contact HTC, hence why I am asking somebody to kindly share an activation code. But yes I do see your point.

Unfortunately at this point in time, if I want to use WP7 I need an activation code, I have no way of acquiring one myself, so I have to hope that one of the xda members will be kinder than yourself and share a code with me.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] changochulo:
This is the first time im hearing that MS is asking for an IMEI...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] daz1uk:
Microsoft aren't asking for an IMEI, they're forwarding UK users direct to HTC where you now need to confirm an IMEI for a WP7 phone, which obviously I can't provide. I'm not asking for anyone's right arm here mate, not even for anyone to contact Microsoft on my behalf. The codes are re-usable as stated in my first post.

I'm simply asking for someone that is fortunate to have a valid code to share it with me, if I could get one for myself I would, but I can't.

And anyone that is willing to share will have my utmost gratitude.

I have also tried gaining a code through Microsoft support chat with no joy. If some one in the US could gain a code for me I would be willing to make a donation?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] russpattaya:
The code is only usable for 3 times, then you have to get back on to MS for another one.

Thats why other people will not share there code, as if they have to re-boot, then they will have to use the code again etc etc.

I had this problem, and contacted MS and they supplied me with another code.

Oh you want to know how to get a new code. Well MS ask for your and/or your name/email/D.O.Birth/tel number etc etc. This is for there records. So when your code runs out, you tell them you had an accident with the phone (Dropped down the toilet what ever) and you had a new replacemnt via insurance. Because they already have your detals, they will issue you a new code. No problem. (I have already done it, and the girl i spoke to had a laugh with me.)

For you young guy's that are trying. When you call them, tell them your name, and then put your mum on the phone to the MS operator. She can say Johnie has this new phone i bought for him, but it is asking for some code.)

There see mum got the code.. And always ask them to email it to you. as when there's a problem. Email them back with that copy.

Job Done.

Hi,

Phoned Microsoft again this morning, was told again that I have to phone HTC with an IMEI number : (, as I've already stated I will happily donate if anybody is still able to get hold of one. It would appear that Microsoft UK have stopped giving out codes altogether.
