usb plug in port cheaply made...problems later with phone not charging correctly. also not showing how much charge you really have in battery display.

it locks up from time to time and forcloses the app.

Other than the general lag because of the type of file system Samsung used, the only functional problem I've run into is a weak WiFi....chip??? Upstairs in my house all my laptops, iDevices, HTC Incredible, etc. can pick up a nice semi-strong WiFi signal from my router no problem. My Fascinate, however, is another story. It drops out half the time.

 

[tmar89]

Poor WiFi reception

 

[PSkeptic]

Desktop Dock still does not work (Audio out). Other than that, no issues.

 

[zaphodbebleebrox]

Sometimes the camcorder will stop recording and give me an error.

Also, it will say "the video cannot be played" when playing saved video's.

I hate how you have to adjust the screen brightness in the browser separate from the actual device.

is that when I am on the phone with someone (using actual handset, not bluetooth etc) when I go to hang up, the main screen is frozen b/c the pulldown task bar from the top has somehow been activated, have to pull down the task bar and end the call from there. No biggie, just another "under the skin" thing.

when using swype keyboard annoying tip indicator pops up.

Jrife, I rooted my phone and installed the SuperClean 2.9 operating system, and it seems to have installed a newer version of the Swype keyboard that doesn't have any popups. I read on the author's page that too many people were complaining how the popups save typing errors, making them too irritating to use. It also bothered my that it would save passwords, popping up the whole password after only the first letter was typed. None of that occurs now that I've installed SuperClean.

However, I've now switched to the Swift Key keyboard. After giving it a good chance, I've decided to stick with it. Instead of swyping, it speeds things up by predicting what you're going to type next...it then puts three predicted words just above the keys. Very often you can enter several words in a row simply by tapping the predictions. Other times the correct prediction will come up after only the first letter or two is entered. And the more you use it, the better it gets at predicting. Overall I can enter text faster with it that with Swype.

Regarding irritations with the Fascinate, nobody has mentioned the GPS, which often takes a long time to lock on.

SInce you are using Superclean try out GPS Aids in the Market. I saw this over on XDA and I literally get GPS locks in 15 seconds now.

 

[Anthony2816]

I actually did install GPS Aids, Kujay, but I'm not quite clear on what to do with it. Can you give me some guidance?

Also, are you using the free version? I noticed a little Android-doctor icon that doesn't do anything in the free version...
