I've read that using the eb01 kernel and DL09 radio can improve battery life in SC 2.8. Truth?
myth..
however i wouldnt try any other radio with eb01
Give it a shot. Easy enough to do the switch and you can always go back. The presenter of that configuration is a trustworthy source here on the forums.

dunno about battery life yet .. going to wipe bstats in a few . i can say that it improved my data connection tremendously .
Actually, it's highly probable. Especially if you use gps. It's a commonly known fact DL09 had the best gps lock of any other. Dunno about data connection speeds...
being a noob, I don't want to mess up how my phone is working right now. I used adrynalyne method to flash my phone back after 2.7, to stock. Flashed new CWM, flashed 2.6 then 2.8 voodoo, used eb01 kernal, and enabled lagfix. I also have EB01 midnight/steel blue theme rocking. I would like to get back to dl09, becuase of the GPS performance. Do I need to do anything special before I do that, or just find and flash it via CWM. Voodoo is the part that makes me hesitant, and that fact that I use my phone as my modem, so I mess it up, I can't access this forum to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
Chopper posted a .tar. I'm on voodoo too , just flash via Odin in the PDA section.

As stated above by lucas.scott use odin to flash the tar file using the pda option. And below are links to both so you can undo it if you should feel the need.

Not at all. Flashing a modem tar with odin includes no voodoo worries.

Dl09 is better for gps in my case
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Haven't seen any difference in battery life . But GPS went from taking 15 minutes to sync on eb01 , to about 2 seconds . So that's well worth it in my book .

Update to sc 2.9.1and you won't have anymore gps issues. I lock almost immediatly.
Any improvement in reception, battery life, data tranmission (i.e. reliability and speed)?
I tested it for a few hours, and noticed that my MMS died. I could not receive MMS messages, it would stick on downloading. Of course after that, I went right back to EB01 modem.
Hmmm I haven't had any mms problems. In fact , I was experiencing data drops on eb01 . Dl09 cured that for me . Crazy how different phones are reacting so differently .

Honestly though, I should test again. The MMS in question were from my girlfriend who is on T-Mobile, and I have often experienced bull**** from her MMS with T-Mobile. So that may be it, I might test further because most people say DL09 is sweet.
Tell me about it dude , my girl is on at&t and about 60% of our texts never reach each other . Switching her to vzw this month.

Seriously, if you were able to flash a ROM, and you did it through Clockwork Recovery/ROM Manager, then you are running a modded kernel.
Voodoo seems to be causing some people more trouble than they feel it's worth, so I'd suggest one of jt1134's or Dirrk's non-Voodoo kernels, or Birdman's once it's past the testing stage.
Non-voodoo? I must have missed those. Search is not being my friend. Care to link a guy up? The only kernel threads I can find are their voodoo kernels.

My phone started lagging badly 3 days after the vodoo lagfix...how ironic. When I disabled it, it nearly bricked my phone. Desperate to get my phone up and running, I did a wipe. It killed the phone's internal memory. Had to reflash back to stock and since then my phone has been running really well w/o the lagfix even. Maybe my phone had a bad image like a computer. Not doing anything else to my phone til froyo comes out. I am rooted though.

You could try more cow bell. I heard it's the only cure for some fevers.
I've been semi-bricked three times when I've disabled Voodoo, and I did it right. So I use a non-voodoo kernel now. I'll wait until these bugs are ironed out. Join the irc chat and jt and the other devs commonly post kernel links.
Yup.. Using jt's 1031 test kernel now (novoodoo). Running beautifully.

Thank you for this. Seriously though, I've been running jt's voodoo kernels since their release with only minor problems. I've disabled voodoo and flashed other kernels no less than three times without issue. Granted it does take a while to boot after enabling/disabling voodoo. The first few times I thought I screwed up, but it always boots for me.

I think it's a phone to phone thing. Some people have no problems just turning off voodoo when they flash ROMs and kernels. I have to use adrynalyn's voodoo uninstaller and wipe completely if I want to change ROMs or kernels.
Weird.
Yea when I tried to turn voodoo off it took 4 reboots before it took. No issues after that though.
*EDIT* Posted in wrong thread...my apologies
Used the "reboot button" app to disable Voodoo. It hung on "Samsung" for over an hour after robot women said "operation completed" or whatever. i finally admitted defeat and did a battery pull. Restart resulted in a boot loop. I was able to recover following the "remove Voodoo" thread and flashing the stock Nandroid. From there I flashed jt's v.4 Super Clean ROM with Frost's theme. Having had the stones to try Voodoo again but honestly my phone is running good with just the Super Clean ROM. Having a recent Titanium backup really helped get my phone back in order quickly.
While it was an unpleasant experience it ended well and resulted in a nice clean and fast Fascinate. Best part though is that I'm no longer afraid to flash my phone since I now know I can recover fairly quickly.

...that way lie the dragons...
Yeah, that's pretty much what destroyed any hope I had of *not* being a total ROM-a-holic. I have owned this thing for no more than 2 weeks and have pushed over a dozen different roms/kernels on it.
I cannot even imagine what this poor phone will be going through once we start getting things like Cyanogen's up and running.
(currently using jt's 1031 USCC non-voodoo kernel...at least until I get home.)
So, I have spent the last few days with obsidian v4.2 beta, and it's a nice rom, but the speed and battery life just isn't there. My reception however was AWESOME. Is it possible to use the radio from JK2 with a stock rom? If so, how would I extract the necessary files and apply them? Or perhaps someone could post a nice update.zip that I could flash through CwM recovery?
All of the JK2 radios should be the same, and I don't believe they will work properly with pre-froyo builds (JFD, JI6) since the modems from those were interchangeable with each other but did not work properly with JK2.
If you want to experiment do a search on redbend_ua and which partition the modem.bin is located in. Be warned, however, that this is dangerous territory; a type can and will brick your phone (I have a hunch this is how eugene bricked his).
That's what I was afraid of. Thank you for the insight.
I think you can flash JI2/JI6 on top.of the Onyx and Obsidian ROMs. In addition, i dont think it is so much about the modem. There are people using jk2 modem with great battery life. Im using the froyocollab ROM and am getting way bettery battery life than obsidian. Others have gotten the same.result with eugenes machat R11.

You can do either one but it introduces a bug that if you drop into edge from 3g it will stay there until you force it back. The way to get around it is to set 3g only in settings.

I tried 3 roms yesterday (my daughter was home sick, sleeping).
Out of R14, Nero Beta 1, and Axura 2.2....
Axura is SO much better, for me. To be fair to Eugene, I was lazy and did not ODIN to stock before flashing R14.... Nero is not ready yet in my opinion, but it will be amazing. Axura 2.2 is rock solid and fast.
Of course, all of these are going to be irrelevant soon.
I was having problems with it. I was running it without any mods and I always ODIN back to JFD before I flash.
It would randomly just reboot or occasionally hard lock on me.
I ODINed JFD and back to Auxura serveral times, even without restoring my Titanium Backup stuff. I really liked it, but I have no clue why it did that.
I've been using Axura 2.1 for about a week now and haven't noticed any problems. I send probably 200 - 300 SMS a day and 20 - 30 MMS a day. No problems.
It just works, also flashed the JL1 modem = amazing!

Must had too many things going on for the CPU to process.
The only real problem for me is after i reboot my phone and i use launcher pro it always has a wait and force close option. It only happens to launcher pro and this rom. It Always happens on the second media scanning it just freezes. I have to kill launcher pro so it could work again.

Axura works great for me. Regarding the mms issue. If you install handcent from the market (its free) Then you can send and recieve mms with no problems. One minor problem Ive had, and its only happened 1 or 2 times since Ive installed it is that after turning the phone on it doesnt pick up a signal, stays on searching. But a simple reboot fixes it.
nope no problems
i love axura rom
in my opinion i think is the best

Not to mention a reason for posting about a mesmerize problem in the fascinate forum - these guys don't use our phone so may not be able to help you
On a side note, this might be worth a shot, if not you'll need to flash a full stock build with odin with re-partition checked to make sure your phone is completely re-formatted;

Either way, if you need to continue - post this in the mesmerize general forum (and only there).
Before you do all that try doing a simple ESN swap. Do a forum search right here in the Fascinate forums. A lot of people lost their 3G data when flashing ED01 Froyo. If you have the same problem myself and most of us had then flashing other radios and roms won't do a damn thing but make you mad.

Hey everyone,
This is just the modem (radio) file for ODIN. This way you can download this modem separate from the all-in-one ODIN. At this time, I would recommend this modem, but I would NOT recommend the EC09 ROM as it is buggy.
To extract this file, you will need 7zip. It is one of the best zip/LZMA/tar programs for Windows. http://www.7-zip.org/
Instructions
Download 7zip from the link: http://www.7-zip.org/
Download ODIN if you haven't. http://adrynalyne.us/files/odin/Odin3v1.3.exe
Download the package below, and extract it with 7zip.
Open ODIN, and connect your device with the battery out while holding the volume down key.
Click PDA, and select the .tar.md5 file you extracted.
Click Start, and it should flash to your phone.
Put battery back in, and {optional} via Clockwork Mod flash NAMELESS v4 or whatever custom TW Gingerbread ROM you wish! jt1134's CM7, andmer's MIUI, or your ROM of choice.
MD5
ec09-modem.tar.md5.7z = 5ffd2b3ce243948493de400c61230435

UPDATE: I added a poll on what you think about EC09's modem.
UPDATE 2: It is recommended to use this modem when running jt1134's CM7 (and I assume andmer's MIUI). Certain things will either not work or not be stable if you use ED-series modems on CM7 mtd due to jt using parts of EC09.
Happy Flashing,

You can try it. Radios are independent from ROMs and kernels. I haven't tested it, but I don't know if there is a reason to have this radio over say ED04 for MIUI.
Andmer is on ED04, so I would say stick with ED01, ED03, or ED04 radios.
Use this with CM7 mtd and MIUI.

i don't know if radio version effects GPS but changing from DL09 to the EC09 radio gave me a more accurate position. Went from around 100m error inside my house to a 30m error.

I don't have this fascinate on the network so i cannot give any feedback about data speeds

This radio has made a huge difference in battery life when in a marginal signal area. I mean HUGE. I went from killing a battery in 8 hours to it lasting over 24 hours. This radio is magic.

This modem is oddly awesome. I get better data speeds and signal strength. NO missed calls or anything. AND Google Sky Maps runs 20x faster (NO **** TRY IT). Also I was running TOP from adb shell and the accelerometer seems to actually take less cpu.
Updated to EC09 from ED04 on ComRom 2.1, and don't have any complaints so far. I often get an extra bar of signal, and while my download speed is about the same, I seem to have picked up a healthy 150-200kbps in upload. The real test will be tomorrow at work where I get almost no signal...
EDIT: Yup, love this radio. Getting 1 solid bar with 3G working at work, whereas before I would get absolutely no data connectivity and a soild 90% time without signal
