[Q] Radios - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see that in the Dev section there are several Roms that appear to use a radio greater than ED05.
What are the current radios for stock and leaked?
Thanks
A partial answer is that EH09 and EI20 are system leaks radios.
So, in short I will be sticking with ED05 for the time being until I sort it out and find any information on stability.

Best radios, according to the majority of users are ec 09 and ed 05
tsm res1.2, TKSGB 11-06, lag fix

EDO5 is what I am currently using and have noticed better battery performance. I haven't seen anything of the ones you have mentioned. The EDO5 is the latest official release. I would stick with that. New radios or basebands that are leaked could possibly not be finished or cause horrible battery times. I would stick with what you have. Just my two cents. If anyone has tested one of these newer releases then post it here. I am open to using new radios if it makes battery life better than the ED05 baseband.

The roms based on eh09 and ei20 are from other galaxy s phones other than fascinate (mesmerize if not mistaken) which our awesome devs have ported for our phones. The radios cant be used on the fascinate so stick with one of the tried and true fascinate radios.

Will the capitvate radios work?

I think not. Most use ec09 or ed05 fascinate radios.

I have been out of the Fascinate loop for a little over a month. Let me just say that the devs here and an unlocked bootloader really make development much quicker.
What I am saying is that a bunch has gone on here in my absence.

Which do you think is better? ec09 or ed05?

Eh03, but if I had to choose between those two, I had better results from ec09

between eh03, ec09, and ed05... ec09 gives me the best results >eh03>ed05. I have seen quite few people reporting they get the best speeds with eh03 but im not seeing it. I suggest trying all three and determine what works best for your area.

I think I will test ec09 and just see what I get. I'm not that impressed with ed05. I feel like I got better performance from eb01.

Not that anyone cares but I have been testing ec09 radio all afternoon and I get substantially better download and upload speeds than I did with ed05. Thanks for the advice guys.

Is there a half decent rom for this phone?

ive read some of the threads and not been encouraged. basically looking for a 2.2 based rom, no less capability than stock. I mean whats the point in flashing a phone if I cant even use stereo bluetooth? Looking for better processing speed, no bloatware, faster internet speeds, but not losing stock abilitys
gingerbread themes would be a plus

As far as most of us in this forum are concerned its Adrynalyne's Super Clean ROM's here are links to his ROMS and his new kernal.

I have tried just about everything out there and this works much better IMO than anything else, especially stock.
EDIT: You will need to look around in this section for themes that work with the version of rom you use, but there are alot of GB ones in there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=722

ROMs (and kernels for that matter) cannot give you faster internet speeds. The only thing that will give you a faster connection will be a better signal, and the only thing on your phone that can give you a better signal that you can change is the modem. What ROMs and kernels can do is make the connection more consistent, so the connection speed doesn't fluctuate as much, but that is the best you could hope for.

Hmm I was under the impression that a kernel could give you better net speeds if the default kernel has throttling enabled. Im pretty sure the fascinate fits into this category....

there is no throttling enabled in the kernel or rom. Any throttling Verizon is going to do is on the network side, and no kernel or rom you flash is going to do anything to fix it. The issue with the stock kernel, at least the Eclair one, was that during periods of high data usage, the kernel drivers weren't coded well and they would easily bog down under load due to the issues and cause heavy fluctuation in your connection speeds. SirGatez fixed the issue in his Eclair kernel, and I'm sure that when the Froyo source is released, or if he gets the i9000 source working, he'll do the same thing again with that. But, there is no throttling or other bandwidth control setup.

A rom is, as good as the operator and what that operator may have installed on his or her device. Sod, mms, and clock lag and other issues are not the fault of the rom.

good day.
Another +1 for super clean.
As a further example of how complications are usually the fault of the user..... I was rooted running S.C. 2.9.1 voodoo EB16 Kernal and I starting having restart problems and even a bootloop at one point.... This was not the ROM but a theme I had decided to flash over it. Anything outside of what is provided for you in the Super Clean threads is a gamble.
Currently after returning to stock I am running the same set-up minus the theme and am having no issues. Running smoother and faster than ever.

so any issues are not the fault of the rom? What planet are you on? Btw, I went for sc 2.9 and it is good so far. Is that because adrynalyn made an awesome rom or because im a good "operator"?

What is EC01 and ED01?

Hey guys I'm confused. I have a Samsung Mesmerize (US Cellular) and EC10 is the official Froyo build. Then I see mentions of EC01 in the Mesmerize forum, and in the Fascinate forum as well. It's supposed to be newer than EC10. If that isn't confusing enough... I'm now seeing mention of ED01??
Can anybody explain what the differences between these are? I am really confused.

EC01 is a renamed fascinate leak. And ED01 is official froyo for the fascinate. We have source but no ota yet.

Ah, ok. So do we know if EC01 is newer than ED01 or the other way around? And I'm guessing both are newer than EC10?

Don't know if they are the same, but they are close from what I gather
EC01 that we have is actually ED01. it was renamed EC01 so as to protect those who gave it to us.. or at least that is the conclusion I have come to given the provided information

3rd party batteries fix??

I've searched all over but haven't found much info. Does anyone know of a fix for 3rd party batteries on Froyo??
What do you mean by "fix"?

If you buy 3rd party batteries (eBay, other sellers) using Froyo, the phone will display a "non authorized battery" warning and won't charge the phone.
Since this is a software protection, there must be a workaround/fix... but what is it?!?
Check out the Imnuts Kernel's or JT1134's Kernels they both have support for non-oem batteries.

Awesome, thanks! I have the 2 month old cleaned up fascinate froyo rom. Can I just update the Kernel or will I have to wipe and install a fresh rom?
I'm not sure if they work on the older froyo. You might want to update to the EC01 Rom and radio. It is a lot less buggy and seems to run faster.
I'm running EC01 with comavolt voodoo and my phone is running very smooth

Just finished installing EC01 with the recommended voodoo kernel.... the "non supported battery" prompt is still popping...
Do I need to install one of the kernels you recommended? Do I just Odin/CWR it in?
Isn't your battery life terrible though --staying with eb01, I mean.
On ec01 I just hit 30% after 8 hours of semi-idle use,2 hours of intermittent Internet usage, another 4 hours of idle in bad reception, and a 3 hour phone call.
I'd say that's pretty sweet.

I get a full day now since flashing the comavolt kernel. I have been holding off on ec01 waiting for the new community rom coming. I might just go ahead and flash ec01 tonight though and see how the battery does for a few days. Just that it got so much better after flashing the comavolt that I have been hesitant to change.
EDIT: Well just flashed the ec01 radio and the new imnuts -100 nv kernel, still using sc 2.9.2 rom. All I can report for now is everything is working good. Too early to report anything about battery life, will let you know in a few days.

[Q] Which radio version is everyone using?

Hi you guys. Please forgive a n00b girl's question... But...
I have had my fascinate for a while (Oct 2010) but at times the reception was horrible and I absolutely came to despise the stock Touchwiz ROM.
So, just as I was getting to my wits' end (and jump ship to a better phone), the official froyo release came along and most of my cures were answered. In an attempt to get the froyo upgrade to take (I had the dreaded update failure issue), I've rooted my fascinate and experienced the joys of custom ROMs, kernels, and mods.
So, now, I am LOVING the fascinate... But the signal still seems to suck compared to other VZW 3G phones.
So... What radio versions work best? I have the ED01 running on mine using the Evil Fascination 3.5.1 and OTB 1.3 kernel.
Do any seem to get better reception?
Thanks, guys! Keep up the good work!

I have updated PRL... Haven't tried EC01. Is it better than the ED01 that comes with the froyo OTA?
I'm using ED01 with the Community ROM. My device seems little faster with GPS lock than EC01 was but every device acts different.

The conventional wisdom is that ec01 was just a leaked-and-renamed version of what was shortly thereafter released as ed01.
It's possible that ed01 was a slightly later build... I've seen no consensus on either being better than the other, but ed01 was the one that got officially released.
More recently (last week), vzw pushed an ota update to ed03 which included a new modem. you can get ed03 by following the same instructions found here to "get to ed01 quickly". We've not yet seen a flashable packaging of the ed03 modem afaik.
I'm running the ed03 modem, it runs fine but I can't say I've seen obviously better reception than ed01.

[Q] EB01 with CM?

Okay, so I'm running CM nightlies, and my baseband is EB01, whereas i'm assuming I should be on ED04 or ED05 by now (if i were on stock). Could there be any performance differences, or am I fine on EB01?
You are fine. I actually prefer EB01 to the other modems. I get excellent signal and the fastest GPS lock with EB01. Running it now with CM7/MIUI.

Thanks man. I was starting to get a little worried when I kept seeing ED04 all over the place, and very rarely eb01.
FWIW, I've read that it's recommended that you use the EC09 radio with CM7. You can download the Odin file for it from a thread in the dev forum.
