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! !

I had this problem, but once I wiped data, cache, dalvik, and flashed the newest SC 2.9.2, it went away.
a newbe i am wondering what is the differences between eb01 and di01????

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?

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

Hey fellow xda members,
I have to check out my sisters vibrant this weekend.... (she is so not tech friendly)
Its her 3rd vibrant and all had same issues... Rebooting, dropping signal and data and the whole not sending sms and mms messages.... She talked to tmobile and they had no clue and essentially gave up on her....
What are my options to trying to get this working for her. And/or what can/should say to T-mobile about resolving this issue... They offered her an exchange at one time but it was a very low end phone... Not a good deal if u ask me..
1. Tried rooting on her first phone-wasnt successful...(i didnt root it so not sure)
2. Possible bad kernel or radio causing these issues... Hard to believe that 3 phones .
3. Still running stock software as tmobile told her not to update phone to latest software . (she did that with her 2nd phone and same result)
4. Could rooting and a finished rom resolve some or most of her issues?
(I have had several android phones and all were rooted so i know)
5.... CLUELESS....
Well if your trying to update your phone to froyo id recomend you to flash a custom rom from the vibrant developement if you dont know how to root your fone download the vibrant toolbox on your pc and it has like 10 steps (all of them are in order so you wont get confused and since your phone its not rooted theres and option that says ROOT YOUR PHONE start from that step.. click on that box and it tells you the steps and what you should do but you must have usb debbugin ebabled

Odin to 2.1 then d/l rom manager then root then get Biwinning or Trigger or ZenDroid all are Froyo roms all will resolve you problems
The problem you are having is a result of human action......... the chances of 3 phones all having the same problem is like winning the Lotto.......
Human action I love it!!!! Lol will show my sister that. . Lol

I went over to my families house the other day and my sister said, "look its doing it again". When I looked over the phone was shutting down and rebooting. I asked her if it did that alot and she said it had just started in the past few days. She did not mention dropping data connection or having problems with sms or mms. A while back I rooted her phone and added MobileAP but that is all. Everything else is still stock and no official updates were applied either.
My plan is to backup all her stuff this weekend and flash something onto it. I told her we would find a good stable ROM for her and some theme options she would like and just do it all on sat or sun. I'm not sure if that is gonna fix her problem as I wanna believe its a hardware defect but she doesn't wanna exchange it just yet and I'm done arguing with her. If that doesn't werk I told her we would have to put it back to stock and call T-mobile. That's our plan, hope it helps on ur decision. Good luck!
@kawika thanks it didnt help lol
Im going to root her phone and install Iunno looking at a 2.2 rom maybe...Trigger rom.
I cant believe that three phones later she has same issues.. Specially since her hubby and daughter have a Cliq xt and have better reception then hers...
? do i need to install a new modem/radio as well as flashing rom? And how do I know which is the right one?

And you stated in the OP, she is on stock software. For sure? The rebooting when signal dropped low was a bug in the services.jar of our initial i9000, android 2.2.1 ports. This was of course patched by Eugene373 with further work by birgertime (and some fumbling by myself) in the official ports of 2.2.1 for the Vibrant. If she is definitely on stock software with no mods though, then that doesn't apply, but was my first instinct.
Most roms we have out now, with the exception of GingerCloneR3, come bundled with modems. They are most likely the modem that the rom chef/dev likes the best, but you can always flash a new modem on top of a custom rom. Different users in different areas have different results with different modems. Gotta test them to see what works the best for her.
Flashable modems are all here, courtesy of scrizz: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868774
Those can be flashed over any rom, just make sure you grab a 2.2 modem for froyo, or 2.1 for eclair respectively.
You might want to start with running Odin to flash her back to stock software, and then go from there. If you are going to do that, I recommend a modded Odin package by Eugene, available here: http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=3 . Its stock-ish JK2 Froyo for the Vibrant, already rooted, with superuser and busybox, and modded 2e recovery so you can easily flash and install Clockwork Recovery if you choose to do so. That file is my go to, when all else fails and I need to get back to stock.
Good luck with your endeavors, hope some of this helps.
she is def on stock 2.1 for sure.!.
thanx... will keep yaz informed heading on the road now.. b there in 5plus hours
This sounds very familiar to problems my Vibrant was having. It turned out to be a flakey SIM card. I went to my local T-Mobile store and they swapped it for a new one at no charge. That fixed all of my SMS & connectivity issues. It might be worth a try, it definitely wouldn't hurt anything to get a new SIM card put in.
Lol she had one replaced as well and same issue..

Hi I have a s-off, rooted rezound. I never actually put the ics firmware onto it (still not exactly clear on how to do it). However I installed a few sense 4 roms and while most worked perfectly fine, all of them had the issue with the camera fc and crashing. I installed the camera that was posted as a fix to no avail. Do I need to update the firmware and how (detailed please, sorta new at this), or will I be stuck using desensed roms till the devs fix it?
Not positive but fc'ing cam is a sense 4 bug.

If you have face detection on, it could crash the camera.

The camera seems to be an issue. Some say to uncheck face recognition and then it works...I don't know. Mine works when I've needed it. Some also have had luck with 3rd party apps. Eventually it will get fixed. You don't have to 'fall back' to a desensed rom, there are several good roms out there not using sense 4.0.
Update the firmware..? Well, there is a post today hinting at something coming in the next two weeks. Perhaps the long awaited OTA. So you should update to the new firmware. Either with the update or with one of the leaks. NilsP has some instructions on running the RUU in post #3 of one of his ROMS...the sense 4 one I think. Check it out if you want.
That's odd. I've ran all the sense 4 roms here and the only one that gives me problems is one xxx but is rare.

I'll have to check the face recognition, I wasn't using it but it's worth a shot.
Anyone know of any hq camera apps to use if the default fcs again?
FYI - Since you're s-off, you don't need to flash a whole RUU to get the latest firmware, take a look at this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614366&highlight=firmware
Since you are running ICS on GB firmware, if you update, you need to flash the New firmware patch afterwards to revert what the old firmware patch does.
It won't help with your camera most likely cause as others has mentioned, it's a issue with Sense 4 roms for now, this makes it easier to upgrade though.
thanks mjones finally updating the firmware
I was running SHOstock2 v5.4 for a while when I found out that I simply stopped receiving incoming texts. The weird part was that outgoing still worked fine, I just never saw new ones come in. Before realizing I could fix it via software, I had AT&T reactivate my phone, as well as replace the SIM card. In any case, I have been using SHOstock2 basically since it came out (RC3?) and this is the first time I've ever had a problem like this.
Thinking it might be a ROM glitch, I reflashed v5.4 over top, without a wipe. No dice.
Next was the kernel, I flashed Siyah v4.3.3 w/ MS. No dice.
I wiped and went back to AT&T's stock UCLE5 and got a bunch of texts. Hazah.
After that, I flashed back to v5.4, restored all my apps/data, and continued being able to text... but only for a day or so.
I wiped and went back to v5.2, which I'd used for a month or so before jumping to v5.4. I've been slowly restoring apps (sometimes with data, mostly without) as I need them.
Today, I went back to not being able to receive texts. The only thing I can think of that changed today was an update to ExTweaks, but I can't imagine that's related?
I guess the only thing I haven't messed with yet is the modem, which might make sense, but I don't know enough about those to start trying new ones. Moreover, I don't understand why it would work for a while and then bomb out. I see that SHOstock2 v6.0 is out now, so maybe I'll upgrade to that tonight and see if I have any better luck with that.
So, assuming it comes back, where do I look next? Is there any logging I should turn on, or logs I can check, or something? I can't tolerate having to reflash weekly, particularly knowing that it worked for a *long* time before.

I found a post talking about moving the SIM to another phone, that didn't fix the problem. A message came in on the other phone, but moving back stills exhibits the problem on the SGS2. Is there something else I missed?

There's gotta be some aspect about it that has to do with SHOstock2, though ... as soon as I go back to a stock ICS ROM, no issue. I did it again last night and then flashed to SHOstock2 v6.0. All good so far, no apps/data restored yet. v6.0 came with a lot more apps than v5.4, needs some de-bloat - might be from Google backup, though, since I had just come from a stock ROM.

I was using whatever came with v5.4, and v5.2 (separately). SHOstock2 v6.0 comes with baseband I777UCLD4.
edit: v5.4 was using UCLD4 as well. v5.2 might have been UCLE5? Hard to tell from the changelog.

Earlier in another thread it was said APN's have no effect on text, just mms.
But for other reasons, I tried to use that and other similar apn's on my Sii running Shostock 6.0. It only allows you to select 3 different "apn type" which aren't in the suggested post.

Thanks for the suggestion, but as moopile pointed out messing with your APN will only change MMS behavior. However, if the problem crops up again I may give it a try anyway. I'm on SHOstock2 v6.0 now, but I haven't run tibu to get any of my apps back yet...

I'm running a different ROM based on GB. I've been having trouble receiving texts since 10/31. In my case, it's definitely an ATT problem. Today about 17:00 I spontaneously received about 60 texts that go back the last 3 days.

Interesting.... Doesn't make sense but anything is possible.
I had this issue on Mystik's Rom as well. Actually was on aberration the first time it happened, Mystik's the second. Both times flashing an i777 based Rom fixed the issue. I had it set up to dual boot semi and aberration. Aberration was my daily driver, but when I stopped getting texts I would just boot into semi and they would come through. After the third time I just went to semi as my daily driver and haven't had any issues since. Don't know if it has to do with semi being based on an official AT&T release vs an international release. All I know is it works.

It might have something to do with it but I don't know. It doesn't make sense to me. The funny thing is it happened to both my wife and I at the same time. It hasn't happened again since but we'll see. I'm hoping it happens on a weekend so I can just try a ton of stuff.

Oddly enough Sho, it always happened to me on the weekend. 3 weekends in a row actually. That coincidence almost led me to believe it was an AT&T issue, but now I'm not so sure. Either way, I'm really curious to know what caused it.

Hey guys above average noon here,
I've been stuck on an older nightly build of cm 10 for months now. I've tried updating to several different versions of cm, however every time I do update I lose my cell functionality. I will get no bars and the area where the bars would be is not grayed out but black.
This issue has happened every time I've tried updating, so I've always had to nan backup to the one that works. I've been thinking about going back to stock because of this issue. Any help, as I've found none, would be greatly appreciated. If this is in the wrong section then I apologize.
Try flashing a sense rom. Update prl and profile. I'd aalso get a gps lock while there. Then go back to the newest cm.
Also are you on the newest firmware?
