I have 2 phones both running SC 2.8 and the NitroDark theme. Pretty basic. Heytell does not work properly. We can both receive messages and hear them, however when we send them they are blank on the recipient's end. My kids are about to kill us because they hate texting. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what is stepping on the program? The issue is identical with both Fascinate phones we have and they have been flashed the exact same way.
Much thanks in advance!
Update: I went back to stock Di01 and Heytell is fine. I proceeded to odin the base EB01 and it broke. I tried going to the DL09 modem, same result. I emailed Heytell and they have seen the issue but have no clue. Anyone have any suggestions? Please? lOL

I have the same issue on my Samsung Captivate, it only works properly on stock 2.1 for me...It doesn't even work on the Official 2.2 for me, the developer told me they have no trouble running it. If I come across anything, I will be sure to update you as well as I think these issues are related.
Thanks, Pete. Good to hear I am not alone. I emailed Heytell and they said they do not know what the issue is with Froyo and the Samsung phones, but it exists. I had to take my phones back down to DL09 to get it to work and let me tell you I have tried every modem, every radio, every EB01 ROM that I could find, same issue every time. I let one phone get the OTA EA28 from an original Di01 base and it quit working after that ota update. Frustrating.
Yep, I have the same problem on SC 2.9.1 and EB16 kernel; it became unresponsive and then crashed every time I tried to send a message. I suspect that HeyTell is using MMS to send the audio and perhaps there is an issue there with the way Sammy phones send MMS. I haven't had issues sending images to friends using MMS, but maybe there is an issue with audio.

I have two Samsung Fascinates. Both were wiped clean and Odin flashed with DJ01. I followed all the steps to install SC 2.92 Voodoo. One of the phones works fine. The other phone occasionally stops responding in the middle of the screen.
I went ahead and flashed it back to stock and it doesn't seem to have this problem. I have gone from SC to Stock 2-3 times now, and after a few minutes of use it keeps doing this. Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?
Which odin package did you use to return to stock?
There are a few of us on here who have screen response issues. It's even worse when the phone is charging. No known solution. I think it's a problem that carried over from the i9000 which our current kernel is from. I was going to pull the thread for you but the search function is down.
Some work arounds:
Reboot. It will work for awhile repeat as needed
Don't root...
Try my guide, if it doesn't work still.

Let me know by posting in guide.
Your guide is what I did twice. It appears that this is a known issue with only certain phones. I also noticed that the display is brighter on the fully functional super clean fascinate.
I went ahead and flashed it to stock took it to the Verizon store showed the person that it wasn't as bright at max settings, they said it looks like a manufacturer defect they will send me another phone and just to mail back the one I have.
I also have 2 FC n other one had that so b4 flashin di01 I flashed eb01 stock rom then flashed di01. Now its working flawlessly

I am one of the unlucky ones too. I don't think its kernel related. It does it on the OEM mesmerize kernel too (ec10). I think the only real solution is to wait for our OEM update and if it still does it take it in for an exchange.
Very frustrating! !

EB01 is a 2.2 froyo release (not official)
D101 is an early 2.1 eclair release (oem)
thank you...........
Switched the phone out problem gone
that'll do it..
How did you go about exchanging your phone? Did they make you replicate the problem?

I told them that it does it sometimes and it's completely random. I showed them the phone they made sure it wasn't rooted.... and then they said...ok, we'll mail you a new phone just send yours back

Just spoke with a VERY nice man at VZW tech support. I explained my problem (leaving out a few particulars of course). He had me boot it in safe mode and wants me to run it that way till Monday. Hmmm, yeah. . .that is not going to happen. He said he will call back at 3:00pm Monday and see if my problem went away. I plan on telling him that it made no difference. Am I being unethical?
I would suggest Gizmo Droid's fix for CWM. I flashed through ODIN and checked Repartition like he said. I followed all of his instructions and my phone no longer gives me a headache. Since doing so, I do experience lag, but I no longer need to lock and unlock my phone to make it work.
Update: Downloaded official froyo and had same screen responsiveness issues. Called Verizon and they are sending me a replacement!!
I've been having pretty good success with Imanut's 100mV voodoo kernal with cpu clocked to 800mhz. However, the screen is still unresponsive when the charger is plugged in

i heard that DL09 modem/baseband was the best. this is my wifes phone and shes running SC 2.9.2 voodoo. shes been having a hard time recieving phone calls. say 1/5 calls would go through. rest of the time it would just ring ring then to voicemail. is anyone having similar problem and is DL09 compatible with SC roms with voodoo?? this is my only last resort. thx for the help anyone.
I had the same issue. All is fine on the DL09 modem. Just flash it using odin (pda) no wipe is needed and it takes :27 seconds.
good day.
. thx! for the quick reply
Yup. I just installed DL09 modem with the froyo roms and am having no problems. ...better reception so far

I love the DL09 modem, but I have ONE issue with it. EVERY reboot, it will RESEND RANDOM (yes, TOTALLY random) text messages to random people. Anyone else have that issue? I'm on Superclean 2.9.2 Voodoo. It's really odd. I flashed the EB01 modem back, though I never really had issues with that to begin with.
I can't seem to find a link for the DL09 modem, anyone have a link for it?
Link containing the DL09 modem, as well as kern and rom but all separate.
Radios ought to be stickied to keep them from falling to far back out of sight.

The past few days people are telling me that they have been trying to call me but my phone never rings and I dont get missed calls. I am running ec01 with jts latest voodoo...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
That's where the DL09 modem comes in handy. That crap happened to me starting with the EB01 modem. Another stupid step that helps (which we shouldn't have to do) is to reboot device in airplane mode. Or your friends are just lying and really don't wanna talk to you.
good day.
Airplane mode toggle doesn't help (for me at least). I had this problem with EB01 and EC01 radio with different roms and kernels. Going back to EA28/DL09 radio is the only way to have reliable phone for me.
To OP: where are you from? I see that mostly people from Chicagoland area have this problem so...
Same exact thing happened to me first morning after jumping to EC01. Reboot fixed the problem for me. Haven't received any voicemails without receiving missed calls since, so I'm assuming the problem is fixed.
EC01/nitro honeycomb
Maybe it's fixed but you never know. On EB01 I've had this problem once and then it was working fine for 2 weeks but had it again and when I really needed to reached by phone. EC01 was fine for 2 days also but it happened again. So it was not acceptable for me and I went back to EA28 radio. Maybe next radio release (if ever) will be better.
same problem for me running ec01 rom and radio ...went back to sc2.9.2 with dl09...people tell me that they try and try with no answer on ec01...oh well
Can someone lead me to the files I need to flash my Fascinate back to 2.1 from the Froyo update. I'm not sure what files or Odin i need to do this. I'm having an issue with my 3G disappearing and dropping since going to the OTA froyo and never had problems with it on 2.1 so i'm trying to go back to stock 2.1, maybe even try to goto Froyo again [maybe something got corrupted or something]. Before i got about getting a new one, i'd like to see if I can flash back to 2.1 and get it working again.
There's a stock package that you can use to Odin back to DL09 (eclair) here. That same thread gives an easy way to get back to froyo if you want to try again.
Alternatively, if you're just having connectivity issues, you could simply try another radio. Some people have a better time with DL09 modem, at least compared to EB01 and EC01 (not sure whether anyone finds it better than the current one), and you can Odin just the modem here. You might want to try this first and see if it does the trick. DL09 modem works fine with leaked froyo releases, so it should be okay with the official one.

Do you think changing the radio version or whatever will fix my problem here. I mean in my search to find out if anyone else has been having their 3G randomly disappear i havent see to much report. I just dont get how it was working fine with 2.1, once i installed froyo it started this problem, now im flashed back on 2.1 and it seems still "broken." Even the Verizon techs had no idea what was going on with it when i took it in. I mean can software screw up the hardware?
I was told by a Verizon rep that they knew that this OTA update would cause this problem in a certain percentage of devices and they just sent me a new one. The second in 2 weeks. When I went in and complained they just went straight to the computer and ordered me a new 1 both times, no ?'s asked really. Just hope you're still under warranty.

For those of you who haven't gotten a new phone yet or found this, here is the fix for this headache of a problem
http://mobiletech.knguyentu.com/2011/04/samsung-fascinate-random-3g-disconnect.html
Hi! My service bars will sometimes completely drop (I am in full coverage area), and I can't call/send text messages, then it will come back randomly.
I am not sure what caused this, i have tried different radios (EC01,EC09,ED01,ED05) and they all seem to do the same thing.
Any ideas on a fix for this?
Thanks!
(currently on MIUI)
Update: It happens when I am trying to send a text message normally, at the exact same time my service will switch from 3G to 1X.. this is really starting to annoy me. Any ideas guys?
^^occurs now without sending messages
Update #2: Flashed DL09 Stock Eclair Rom, everything booted up fine, did *228 opt 1 & 2, for some reason option 2 wouldn't work, i had to retry it about 4 times before it worked.
I am in a full coverage area and only receiving 0-1 bar of service, and I should be getting 3G but keep locking on to the 1x more often than not
& THIS IS ON THE STOCK ROM which i originated from. I just don't get it
I may just try going in to verizon and getting a replacement? I just don't understand what caused this.
Since your on miui, I would think ec09 radio should be your best bet..have you done a*228 option 2 on ec09? In my experience the ec09 radio has been the best one hands down.
Also the 3g symbol disappearing the moment you send a text is normal and you haven't necessarily lost 3g..it will switch to 1x to send and receive texts/mms.

I have tried EC09 on MIUI and it didn't change anything. When I do *228 it says it completed through the voice on the phone, but the text on the phone says that it failed, so then I just reboot.
This issue has persisted now on ALL Roms, Eclair, Froyo, GB, MIUI MTD or CM7, it hasn't mattered. Or it doesn't matter what radio.
I went into Verizon today and am having a replacement sent to me, so hopefully I will never have this issue again but am scared to try again since this problem has occurred previously...
Now no matter what radio/rom combo whether froyo, eclair, or gb I am on,
my DATA will either not even download ANYTHING from the market or even connect, and if it does it is slow as nails and doesn't ever finish the download. It is the oddest thing. I have always done clean flashes, but it seems like I have ****ED UP my fascinate, it doesn't make sense though because it is all software and not hardware...
^I have tested this on 3 rome already, stock ED01, EF voodoo, and MIUI, ALL of them do the same thing, and this is with clean flashes, clean modem and cam stuff
i just don't understand. I have only made software changes, always used a pit file, only bricked my phone once, and it was a soft brick..
