This is the second fascinate I've owned. VZW sent me a refurb because of the back button problem. I was on superclean milestone 1 with kgb kernel & eh03. Now I'm on stock aokp milestone 5. I'm still getting a ton of calls going straight to voicemail. Luckily I use google voice so I get a fast notification for voicemails. I would notice on superclean that it would constantly switch to NO SERVICE if I was using data. Depending on the area it would switch back and forth. It says NO SERVICE but my data is fine as I'm streaming radio stations. Is this a problem with this phone because I need to get a different one ASAP as I use this for my small business. I hate to upgrade because I love the dev community but it's costing me money
was the problem happening with the old phone?

As much as I love my fascinate ever since the 4g release I have had nothing but issues with signal and missing calls. Im on my 3rd fassy so far, all with the same problems. I even left them stock for a week. I never ever get more then 2 bars. It's constantly dropping to no bars with the 3 g icon still visible. It doesn't switch to 1x like previous issues, it just goes from 2 bars to no bars no matter what rom, how many times i call *228 2, or how many times I scream at it. All verizon does is send me replacements so I can start all fresh with the same exact problem. It really pissed me off when I missed a call from a job opening I'm trying to receive with no ringing or notification. ended up having 4 new voicemails with no missed calls within a 3 hour period. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm back on com 2.1 again on edo4 and nothings changed. I hate thinking about selling it but this is ridiculous. I had no signal issues around a month and a half ago. Any one have a magic solution???
Not trying to be a smart ass but maybe you should look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146914
From what I know about Verizon, if you have problems with the phone and get it exchanged three times within three months, you can ask for a different phone.

The problem with this is I don't want to switch carriers.many of my friends have verizon and have no signal issues. They are on different phones and this is why I believe its a fascinate issue.

Oh boy oh boy....
My TB has been giving me some issues lately. Notably, data issues. Starting Sunday morning, it would not connect to 3g or 4g. No matter what I tried. Reboots, battery pulls, Fix permissions through Rom manager, turning the radio off and on, Airplane mode off and on, 4g only, 3g only. Nothing worked. I was running the MR2.5 Radio with Das BAMF 3.0 RC4. So I flashed the MR1 radio and put CM7 on it. That worked great. For a day. Starting this morning, it started doing the same thing. Will not connect to data.
When I say that it wont connect, I mean it will not send or receive data. In the "about phone/network" menu, it will state that it's connected to LTE or eHRPD (3g), but it will not send data. Ping tests fail. Nothing goes through. Texts and calls work fine over 1x, thankfully. So what do I do?
Also, when I try switching to 3g only, it gives me an error that phone.android process has stopped working. Then my radio goes out completely, til I switch back to CDMA only.
Does this have something to do with my phone flying out of my jacket pocket while riding home from Milwaukee? I was cruising at 70, listening to music, then BAM! No more music. Check my pocket, phone is gone. I pulled over to the shoulder, got out, and walked back to find it on the other side of the 3 lane highway. The battery cover was about 40 feet away. Aside from some scratches on the kickstand and the ring around the camera lens, the phone appeared unscathed. It worked fine for 2 weeks after that too...
Should I call VZW and see if they can replace it? Revert back to stock and bring send it in?
:help:
maybe try and get a new sim card first.
Well, 4g works now, but I'm barely in a 4g area, so it's spotty. 3g will not connect no matter what I do. I have tried a few different combos of Radios and ROMs, to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
im having problems here too im on rc4 3.0 with new ota radio just this morning it srarted acting up im stuck on 1x im in,mesa az

I would pull out the SIM and just make sure there's no crud in there. Slim chance, but checking the md5 of the radios before you flash just to rule that out. Other than that, I can't think of anything. Isn't there a diagnostic you can run on these?
ok guys im trying again im still having the same problems as OP everything works fine over wifi and 4g is a little spotty but pretty stable for the most part and i didnt have issues till i went to the newest radio i have done just about everything and i mean everything battery pulls flashing, recover and evan go to bone stock and i did manage to get 3g working again but then 4g wouldent connect and evan than 3g was not that stable so i personally think the radios are some how damaged from radio flashing anybody have this happen to them
I'm also having this problem but I'm.using CM7 1.2 with the MR2 radio I get 4g but when I go to web pages it won't load if I switch to 3g only the pages load. this is really pissing me off because I call Verizon and let them know about the issue and they say nothing is wrong even those they say they are receiving many calls about the problems and try to trouble shoot me I'm not stupid I know more about this phone then them. Btw I also tired mutliple radios and roms and still no lucky I'm in Houston Texas
I do not think its a root or radio issue. I have Th3roy on mine with the leaked radio its got no google voice or browser on 4g, 3g is fine. One of my buddies ahd two non rooted tb's they're both doing exactly the same thing.

call verizon beacuse you are not the only one i posted the number in the 4g issues thread already this is pissing me off because i tried many roms and radios and no luck
you probably ruined the connectors on the battery cover. theres some little gold tabs on the back that connect to the phone and act as an antenna. before you try anything else i would try getting a new battery cover. also try pulling out your sim card to see if theres anything blocking the connectors.
Verizon is having some techs check their end of things. They want to see if there is a problem with their network before they send me a phone. I pretty much know it's not the network, as nobody else is having this issue in my area, and I've traveled outside of my area with the same issues. I guess I have to wait patiently until they decide to replace my phone.
I have no issues when i switch to CDMA Auto PRl, I get zero 3g drops in data.
However, when i have it set to CDMA + LTE I always get 4G and 3g drops in data.
Whatever the problem is, they need to fix it, its getting ridiculous not being able to use 4G all the time.

I was curious if this was something that would be Rom related or phone related so I know where to start trouble shooting.
People lately have been telling me they are calling but I am not receiving calls. In my house my phone gets a horrible signal anyways and sometimes goes into roam but I have been at work and people have said they are calling me and I don't have missed calls.
I am on Vipers latest and have the current radios installed as well. I have done a reflash and still the same.
Not sure if this is related but I am also sometimes not getting text messages till later times. I got a text two hours later last night and most of the time it seems when people text me over 160 it takes some time to get the 2nd part. I can send and receive just fine with others but the over 160 text will pop up maybe 10 minutes later.
Sorry if this is jumbled to anyone.
Lotsa drop calls here too, switched to CM mod 7 and it's fixed. I think it's sense related when you have 3g/4g/wifi working
There is two possible problems to this, one is your rom. Try flashing a stock rom for a few days and see if it clears it up.
Second, and most likely, is just bad network connection. You say your phone bounces between roaming and sprint at home, when that happens you will always miss calls and get texts late. Nothing much you can do about that except get an Airave from sprint or switch carriers.

I get horrible signal in my house. I don't want to buy an airave though. I'll flash a stock rom and go from there.

You don't have to buy one, just call sprint and tell them you have bad signal in your house, and you are thinking of switching unless they give you an Airave. They should give you one for free without much hassle.
But try the stock rom first just to rule out any software problems with the rom you are on.
I'm having a strange issue with my POS X2. A couple days ago my phone quit working with voice and text. Data with 3G and wifi was fine. The phone had CM7 on it at the time. All settings looked fine including Network Preferences. Although I live in a low signal area the phone usually connects. I went into town where signal is excellent and it still wouldn't connect. It would immediately pop up "call lost".
I decided to sbf with the 2.2.2 which voice and text starting working again. I did all the OTAs to 2.3.5 which I still had voice and text- for a while at least. Voice and texting stopped working again with the same issue. Along with voice/text phone would stop syncing data while phone was in standby which means Skype would disconnect and any emails wouldn't be pushed until I woke the phone up. I even have my wifi set to Never sleep as I always have.
Again I sbf'ed, this time to 2.3.4. Voice/text starting working again but syncing still isn't working properly. I rooted and flashed back to CM7 since I could no longer stand Blur. Voice and texting seem fine still but again the phone fails to sync while in standby.
The phone is out of warranty and don't have Asurion insurance. What options do I have to get this phone replaced other than having to go buy a new one which is out of the question for numerous reasons. Does anyone know if this is something that can be fixed or am I screwed?
happened to me, some data got corrupted and i sbfd and flashed a dozen times and it wouldn't go, grab an md5checker from the play store, get fresh downloads of the 2.3.4 sbf and gapps and try again wipe wipe wipe. syncing is most likely a software issue not a hardware replacement cause
cm7dx2
A quick update. I wiped the phone three times prior to SBFing to 2.2.2 FroYo. Then wiped I wiped once after. Activated the phone and added by Google account. Accepted all the OTAs up to 2.3.4. Unfortunately I still lose data when phone goes to standby. Went ahead, rooted, flashed CM7, wiped a couple times, and once again and no difference. No data while in standby. I'm starting to notice it happening even when the phone's awake.
I've ruled out the router since all other devices including two laptops and my wife's Incredible on CM7 has no issues. I Googled this issue and found someone else on a Milestone with the same issue and never seem to find a resolution.
This sucks! Maybe it's time to write this phone off and go back to an older dumb-phone. No other options unless forking over ****loads of $$$ that I don't have.
Giving up.
I'm giving up on this and will just call my DX2 beyond repair. One more time I decided to wipe numerous times and SBF and I come back to no data even when the device is active. Even trying to send it text messages from my wife's phone and most of the time I don't get them until later. Right now I'm currently on completely stock 2.3.4 with no root.
I suppose it's time to start saving my pennies and get something that won't change my data plan.
FML
Update: I decided and let the phone update to 2.3.5. Wifi never stays connected, voice/3g rarely works. It just gets better!
Tried talking to VZW today and was told they can't help me since my phone is out of warranty. Figures. But boy do they want to sell you a new RAZR and switch to their "money saving" plan! (yes that's what I was told!). Anything for a buck. Worthless.
Hi All. Running MeanBean 1.9
I clean flashed Meanbean 0.2, been dirty flashing ever since. For about the past week (maybe since MB 1.5?) i've been havin intermittent problems answering and making calls. About half the time when it rings i hit answer and it looks like it's connected, but all i get is my own voice echoed back to me and the caller can't hear me but it connects for them.
Also, sometime when i place a call i get the same thing: all i hear is my own voice echoed back but no connection.
Tired updating profile/PRL. Tried clean flash. I usually have 2-5bars of reception when this happens.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? Ideas on whether this is a phone/ROM issue or a Sprint/sucky service issue? Reprovision?
Thanks

I think it might be a sprint thing, my phone just started doing it but only when my wife calls who is on my account, has never happened with anyone on another carrier.
Just curious what area are you in, I'm in Baltimore, Md, maybe they working on the network

I guess it's good to know that it's prob not the phone or the ROM. Kinda crappy to know that we've traded occasional 4G coverage for crappy phone connection. Maybe i'll try calling and harassing Sprint, see if i can get a service credit.
