Issue with Text Messages - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having some text message issues lately. I've tried different ROMS, Radios after full wipes and it seems that some of my text never get received from some of my contacts. I also noticed that rarely I won't receive text from people sometimes also. Any help would be appreciated

That's a bit vague. What radios and roms have you tried.

I had a similar issue when I went to SuperClean 2.9, which requires the DL09 modem. Once I flashed the DL09 modem all my problems went away.
Which modem/radio are you using?

I've tried all DarkREVENGE releases, all SC releases, stock 2.2 ROM's and Radios. I'm starting to feel that it's a hardware issue.

[Q] Clarification on WiFi Issue

I can't seem to control my WiFi radio. It's "stuck" on. I know I've read that this is a known issue but, I'm not exactly clear on the cause. Is this a voodoo issue? I've disabled voodoo and tried a couple different kernels (of course they were voodoo) and a couple different roms. Right now I'm running jt's 11/2 stable voodoo kernel and his super clean rom but the radio is still stuck on.
Can anyone clarify what the problem is and how to fix it?

Unfortunately, I've never loaded Barebones. It's been strickly jt and Dirrks kernels. Guess I'll try one of the non-voodoos and see if it fixes the issue
** UPDATE **
OK, I've tried jt's non-voodoo stable kernel, pulled the battery...everything I can think of. The wireless indicator in the bar is STILL active. It fluctuates occasionally so it appears that the radio is actually on. How do I get this thing to turn off????

[Q] SuperClean radio/kernel combination

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.

DL09 modem

good day.
do I have to worry about voodoo? Or is that just the kernal that i worry about? sorry for the noob question.

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

How is it working out for you guys? I am tempted to try it, but would like to know if you see any differences. Thanks!
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 .
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
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.

Ea28 and eb01 radio

Are they the same radios accept that ea28 has fixed emergency calling feature?
Ea28 comes through an ota so it is an official radio. You will look less suspicious as a rooter if you are running this radio I'd imagine. I don't know what the actual differences are though and I don't think change logs are available. Hopefully someone can enlighten us.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I don't believe they are the same radio. EA28 radio is still the one that came with the EA28 Eclair build. EB01 radio (modem) is the one that came with the leaked EB01 build which gave us the superclean versions 2.0 and higher and a few of the other Froyo roms we are playing with. The EB01 modem also still has the emergency calling fix.
I believe people have had problems with the EB01 radio not ringing all calls and when that happens not showing missed calls. Seems like DL09 and EA28 radios have less of this issue than the EB01 radio. I'd recommend EA28 so VZ knows you have their latest.

EA28 radio
DL09 radio helped me with some GPS issues on an earlier SC build. But been using EB01 since then. In every day use their is nothing to do different with either radio. And its easy to switch back and forth to see which better using using tar files in Odin.

[Q] WIFi issue

can anyone help? My phone won't connect reliably to wifi networks. It detects them cycles that it is connecting, obtaining IP address then disconnects and keeps repeating this cycle. These are networks I have connected to before. I am on stock, debloated, deodexed, EBO1.
thanks,
I had the same problem on EB01, hasn't happened since updating to ED01.
+1 on not having this since my latest radio update.
It used to do it pretty regularly, and a reboot with WiFi on tended to correct the issue for a while. Perhaps that will help you too?
I've flashed roms like nobody's business. Never did just a radio. Is there a way to update just the radio?

[EC09][MODEM][ODIN] EC09 Radio/Modem for Odin

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
Thanks to...
P3Droid for the EC09 Gingerbread Leak
vegittoss15 for pointing out that my checksum was screwed up
Thanks in general to...

jt1134

and the other devs & irc crew
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,
JP Tech
thanks given!
No problem, I'm just giving back to the community!
does it work with miui gb?

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.
Anyone noticing any improvement with this radio?

Results on the irc are mixed as far as data speeds. Some had great. Others were clearly slower. You just have to try it for yourself. Your mileage may vary.

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 did notice that i cannot maintain a fix on all the satellites, constantly dropping one or two and reconnecting. I don't have this fascinate on the network so i cannot give any feedback about data speeds
sorry if you find this nooby
but why do we need 7zip , this file extracted fine with winrar itself ?
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.
Has anyone tried this radio with com rom 2.x? I don't see why it wouldn't work, but one never knows.
If not, I may try it for giggles once I'm near a computer I can use to revert if it breaks everything..

It seems about the same as ED04 in my experience. Others say it makes GPS super awesome. All in all it seems like a somewhat lateral move.

I flashed this modem so that I could try the new nameless rom. now the nameless rom made my phone take a dump. I went back to comm rom 2.1 and ec09 seems to be working fine.
Does anyone know of any other roms that will work with this modem?

Ok, thanks for the info. I'm on comrom2.1 & ed04 now & trying to decide if its worth making the move or should I wait for the sleep issue on cm7 to be resolved.

I cannot yet comment on any battery impact, but I am running ComRom2.1 and upgraded to this modem a few hours ago. My signal is drastically improved, so there's another in the "it's better" column...

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
um for some reason i cant flash this.... it alwaise fails... tried like 30 times now literally 30 fcken times
