    Root Rooting 2.3.5

    hey guys, going out of my mind here. Been trying to swap roms from Liberty (very unstable for me for some reason) to Gingerbread Phone 7 since I've been wanting a windows phone lately. I've literally been doing this for 5+ hours now. I meant to go to bed at 3 am, it's not almost 8. Arghh...

    Root ROMs with improved functionality

    Any ROMs out there that do more than just reskin / optimize performance? Specifically, I'm looking for a ROM that actually improves the functionality of the phone - makes it easier to get notifications and whatnot. My friend got a really nice one on his DX that noticeably improves texting...

    Root Confused over root

    I rooted my phone a while back simply to use barnacle wifi tether. Now I'm trying to do some custom ROMs, and my phone is telling me it's not rooted (both barnacle and titanium backup won't work). I never unrooted the phone. The only thing I've done since rooting it is apply the OTA GB...

    Help Does solely rooting cause bugs?

    I've had my DX2 for a while now and its been 99.999% problem free. I recently rooted it simply because I wanted to run a tether program that required root. ALL I did was root; nothing was done as far as OS mods or whatnot. Lately I'm having tons of bugs. These didn't start happening until a few...

    Help Apps to speed up phone?

    I really like this phone. Everything but the lag. I almost feel like this dual core stuff is a marketing hype because this phone is significantly laggier than any other android phone I've had to date, despite wiping it twice now. I just rooted it and was looking into using setcpu, but it seems...

    I guess Verizon isn't always horrible...

    A few months ago, my Fascinate abruptly died on me. No warning, just turned off and never came back on. Brought it into Verizon and they shipped me out a "certified" replacement. Well, the replacement came in, and right off the bat I noticed the bottom buttons would constantly flicker on/off. I...

    Help Phone won't boot

    Ever since this crappy 2.2 upgrade, my phone has been having issues. First it started off with awful battery life. Then my phone started having a wonky connection where I wasn't getting calls, or I wouldn't receive a text for 30 mins and then all of a sudden 5 would come in. Then I finally...

    Blocking numbers from calling/texting?

    So, long story short.. I have an ex gf who is pissed off at me since I started dating someone else. Acting like a child, she put my # up on craigs list acting like I was interested in men and wanting to meet up for sex (I'll admit, it is kind of funny, just not when it's happening to you). So...

    Help My phone just deleted all my text messages :(

    I was using my phone earlier, and I noticed it froze for a few seconds before it would allow me to type anything. It then unfroze, typed my sms and sent it. I went back to my inbox and every single convo was gone, except for the one message I had just sent. WTF?!?!?!? I have the option to...

    Help GPS Inconsistency

    Third time this has happened now.. I opened up the google nav, typed in the name of the place I wanted to go.. and it took me to the wrong place. So I then googled the name of the place, and then had the nav take me to the address it found.. and viola, it took me to the right place. I then went...

    Help I think my GPS took a dump on me

    I can't get GPS navi to work for the life of me. Before, it used to flash that GPS symbol on the top of the screen until it connected to GPS, and then it remained solid. Last night, I tried using the navi and finally gave up after 30 mins of no connection. The GPS icon didn't even appear on the...

    Help Phone replaced, can I transfer over all my data?

    I got a replacement Fascinate as my old one had some quirks. The guy that did the transfer accidentally forgot to take my old phone back, so I now have my new one and my old one sitting in my lab. My old one doesn't work (deactivated), and the new one is activated. I'm going to return the old...

    Help SMS notification bar bug

    I just started noticing this yesterday, and it's bugging the crap out of me now. Essentially, this is what's happening. I'll get a text, and in the notification bar where it shows the preview of a text, it'll say "Sarah Klein hey what's up?" So then I'll pull down the notification area and in...

    Lack of a second mic was SUCH an oversight

    I'm really hating this, but I'm coming up on 30 days with the fascinate, and I'm contemplating returning it. I love the phone so much, but I'm on my phone often outdoors, and I cannot hear a damn thing when there is the slightest bit of wind. I've never had this problem on any other phone...

    Homescreen setups

    I'm just curious how you guys have the homescreen (and all the other screens) setup? I'm severely lacking in creativity, and I just noticed all of my screens are just random messes of crap that looks bad and could probably be a lot more streamlined. If anyone would be willing to post up SS of...

    App that will keep track of money spent?

    This is going to sound extremely petty.. but here it goes. My gf and I argue a lot over who has to pay for things. It really bothers me, but she somehow thinks that she pays more because she picks up the tab a lot when we get like a soda, but I'm always paying for dates, dinners, etc, and...

    Accessories Adjustable air vent holder?

    I'm looking for one of those mounts that snap on to air vents in the car. I drive a newer civic, and if you've ever been in one, the windshield goes like 5 feet into the dash :p It makes it borderline impossible to mount anything on it unless it's right in your face. I keep finding clip holders...

    Help Annoying keyboard bug

    Has anyone else noticed that the "-" button just makes the "_" symbol? It's annoying me that I can't hyphenate a name. Am I missing something?

    Help Messaging/email questions

    I've just noticed a few things on the SF that have made me wonder if I'm missing something or if it can be changed. First scenario.. I'm reading a text. I hit the "back" button, and it throws me to the homescreen sometimes. Then I hit the messaging button again, it brings me back to that...

    After owning the Fascinate for a few days.. A review

    Coming from an HTC Touch Pro 2, it was pretty difficult not to impress me. I wont' go into that.. but that was far and away the most frustratingly shitty phone I've ever used. After owning the Fascinate for a few days, it's an amazingly nice device, but there are a few quirks about it that...

    Help new fascinate owner, couples Qs/comments

    So, I just upgraded to the Fascinate from an HTC Touch Pro 2. I HATED that phone with a fiery passion. It had so many bugs, it was SO damn slow (to the tune of waiting ~30 seconds after clicking a contact to open up their info), etc. Just an awful phone overall. So far, I'm really liking the...
