"Turn on GPS from Settings, not QuickPanel, at least for the first time."

With Launcher Pro you can access Location and Security with one click. Handy if you are going to turn GPS off and on a lot to help save battery.

Long press on screen (or open space/icon to change on the dock)

Choose Activities

Scroll to Location & Security

Click OK

If you have a Launcher Pro installed you can still create an Activities short cut in another Launcher. (tested with Launcher included with SC 2.8)

Hope this is helpful to others

I'm going to ask a potentially stupid question... Are you meaning that if you go into recovery using the three button (technique if you will) that you have to apply update.zip? If so, as far as I know, that is normal. The three button takes you to samsung recovery and then you have to apply update.zip to get into cwm.

Ok so :

Wipe dalvik

Or does it matter if i install rom last as long as it's all in same cwm session?

And yet since the TB release we have had 3-5 source built kernels released, a full EC10 ROM release, MIUI updates, DarkRevenge updates, Kaos has been tweeting about updates to his ROM, CWM updates, and various Mods, themes, and other fixes.

If you want auto restore of apps, before you flash the new rom, put the attached file in /system/app. Might even work after the ROM is installed actually, not sure.

I dont know if this will effect your paid apps not showing up in the market however, that fix might be as easy as clearing market data in 'manage applications' and a reboot.

I odined to eb01 stock

It worked when I paired and connected to my car at first time.

When I tried to use it second time,

it seems like connecting automatically

and then my phone just slows down a lot.. almost like freezing.

While my phone is lagging like crazy, it drained battery fast until I move away from my car (bluetooth range)

Can anyone give me some solutions?

Thanks. I think I'm going to try this tomorrow. I've been upgrading (not wiping data) since 2.6 or so, and I think it's time for a clean install. I've put it off since the Mesmerize source dropped hoping for a good update, but just this weekend my wifi started sucking battery like crazy.

[Fascinate Android Development] Bawb3:
My current issues on this rom:

Random reboots, not too often but happens every few days - not a huge issue.

Data connection randomly stops working and I'll see a blue circle with a cross through it where the service bars would be. Only a reboot is able to get it back on.

This is trouble because it can happen while the phone is just in my pocket.

Not sure of its a rom or kernel issue. I'm running jt's latest ec10 kernel with sc 2.9.2.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I'm not having the random reboots but I'm having a similar issue with signal strength. If my data connection is dormant the I open something that triggers it, it drops signal from two bars to one then zero and stays that way until I stop using data. It will switch back to dormant then when I use data it's back to two bars again briefly then the same problem. This would happen if I had the phone on at least a day before rebooting. I notice this whenever I switch to the EC10 stock voodoo kernel but don't recall it happening on previous kernels. I have been running EB16 since yesterday afternoon and it hasn't happened yet but I am still keeping an eye on it.

[Fascinate Android Development] tjmckay933:
geolocation problem, settings force close

Running SC 2.9.2, no theme. I used the zip in the OP and I triple-wiped data, cache and dalvik before installing the zip through red CWM.

After a random amount of time, but usually something longer than 24 hours running time, I will get an alert that Google geolocation service could not decode my location - and GPS becomes totally unmanageable. By that I mean I can't administer its settings.

Using the power bar widget, it <appears> GPS turns off, but the notification bar shows it is still on. The widget cannot be used to re-enable it (if, in fact, it <is> disabled). The notification button <appears> to be able to turn it on and off, but... I can't tell for sure what either of these attempts are doing because if I go in through Settings | Location & Security, I get a FC on com.android.settings.

When my Fascinate is in this state, GPS utilities like 'GPS Status', 'GPS Test' and 'GPS Essentials' may show satellites in view, but none in use / fixed.

Up until this condition occurs, GPS locks in a reasonable amount of time, GPS utilities show satellites in use, geolocation-based widgets work as expected.

Rebooting corrects it until next time, but "next time" inevitably happens.

Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks!

**Quick update** after this most recent reboot, I tried accessing 'Settings' | 'Location & Security' straight away and got a FC! If offered a stack of Bibles, I'm not sure I could swear accessing this setting any time after the initial setup interview about what services I want to use - but I <thought> I had. Weird.

**Update to the update** I'm in the habit of doing two things after a reboot: going in and out of airplane mode and launching and closing Maps. I do these things because I've found they benefit battery life in the extreme by breaking the wake lock condition (thank you to these very helpful forums).

I've been going in and out of airplane mode by way of a widget and I just observed that the inability to access 'Settings' | 'Location & Security' follows the use of that widget. Using 'Settings' | 'Wireless & Network' instead seems to produce different behavior - that is, I can still access 'L&S' normally. So, I'll chase that theory for a while and see if avoiding that airplane mode widget can help me avoid the GPS crash.

In the meantime, other suggestions are still welcomed - Thanks!

Agreed with an earlier poster. Verizon sucks. My Vibrants never gave me as much stress... They may have a better network, but the call quality with 4 bars is crappy....
[Fascinate Android Development] tjmckay933:
After taking the airplane mode widget out of the equation, I had the geolocation problem occur again inside of 24 hours. The only bright side was that I was able to manipulate the GPS state effectively and didn't get a force close. Still looking for suggestions on what may be causing the geolocation service to glitch.

I'm supposing that it is, in fact, an underlying issue - not just a problem with the widget that's trying to leverage the geolocation. Any opinions on that aspect? Thks.

I have tried both EB01 and DL09 Modem's with Super Clean 2.9.2 and have not seen a difference in signal strength or integrity. The only problem that I have experienced with this rom is terrible battery life. I can unplug the phone when it says 100 percent and it will litterly drop 2 percent right after the plug comes out. It then drops a percent when launching apps and while using them within a minute or less. I have ran bstats from console and even used the battery wipe from cwm without a change. Not sure what it is in the rom that's causing this but hope it's something that we can track down.

After weeks of tinkering, using the very helpful advice readily found in these forums, I believe that I finally have the Fascinate where it should be. No more SOD. Outstanding battery life (easily 24 hours with normal use). No more missed phone calls. GPS locking in less than two minutes. Etc. The key move was to follow Gizmo's Post:

"Most Thorough Method of Fixing Every Problem You Might Have"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1017817

I chose to revert to EA28 radio by Odining to DL09 then allowing the OTA update. Then, flashed SC 2.9.2 voodoo.

Using Infinity's ComaVolt kernel has made battery life better than ever.

Flash ROM at full battery charge, run fxpms then bstats in terminal emulator at full charge. Toggle airplane mode and maps after reboot. I avoid themes because they prevented receiving pix in MMS.

And I think that about covers it for my phone. Fast, stable, reliable - and all thanx to the excellent advice provided here at XDA.
[Fascinate Android Development] mrjake1970:
there is something with something with this. i never had data issues or sleep of death until i did the full ODIN back to EB01 to "fix" cwm..

i just posted in the sleep of death post on this forum.

if you read rhis thread, that thread and a few others you will notice a pattern of data, wifi and sleep of death issues surrounding the odin flash back to eb01 and the new cwm... in my opinion it has to be related to the Eb01 file, CWM or superclean.

[Fascinate Android Development] ezas:
I think I'm going to follow your lead. Battery life is not very good for me and GPS is only very OK. I've been toying with Odin'g back to DL09 radio since that helped GPS before.

I have flashed my phone in one way or another about 25 times in the last 4 months and I'm amazed how the same combo of ROM/Radio/Kernel can get different results. One AOSP ROM barely sipped battery and the exact same combo flashed a few days later gave only OK battery life.

Same with SC. Sometimes GPS works like gangbusters and now it's only OK and battery life is only OK. I've never had SOD but I did have WiFi that would not work unless I flashed EB01 kernel over EB01 kernel and then WiFi would work. I went back and forth and it wouldn't work after a flash unless I flashed the same kernel again. But I haven't needed to do that since that one SC build.

I come here, the AC, and FF forums every day so I know all the little hints and tricks and i've burned my phone down many times. But I'm ready to take a break and sit on a build for a couple of weeks. But I'd like it to be the best build possible so I think I will try the steps you outlined and see what I get.

I also stopped using themes. They were fun for a couple of weeks but they add a layer to the 'stack' that does not do much. I can get many good looks just using wallpapers/Icons/Docks. Nice thing about not using a theme is you don't have to worry about the market updating your themed apps. I do use a boot and shutdown ani I got from other themes. I used to flash the TW quick panel over SC but now I use Elixir to create my own power widget.

I'll post up how it all turns out.
[Fascinate Android Development] xjestersdeadx:
I've been logging my battery usage over several days and will post in more detail later, but there are occasional hiccups that just can't be explained. In general, I can get a good 12-15 hours almost each day of "general usage". Maybe 30-45 minutes of talk time and email usage throughout the day.

But then, for some odd reason, one day I'll go from 100% to 77% in 5 minutes. The phone still lasts for about 12 hours, so the rest of the "drainage" via the meter goes slower, but that doesn't affect actual battery time. Just the percentage meter goes wacky. This happens 1 day out of 7 maybe.

Not to mention satisfying the endless stream of requests for patches for things he took out of the EB01 build with superclean. EB01 was leaked in early February, and when that happened Adrynalyne started EB01 at sc 2.0. We are now at sc 2.9.2 which means he has given us ten versions in two months. He just hinted in another thread at having something new for us soon if a certain event happens.
