Yay. I can confirm the following bugs after using OTA ED01 for a couple hours:
1) 50% time w/o signal bug still there. Still need airplane toggle after boot.
2) Browser scrolling choppy as ever.
3) Pop email client still snaps to top of list after reading each email.
4) battery issues / wakelock needs more testing
Now then, we know Samsung and VZW were not working on fixing any bugs in the last several months that they have been sitting on this code. All bugs from froyo leaks 2.5 months ago are still in there.
Seems to me there was 0 priority put on this update, since it was delivered extremely late and still chock full of bugs. My assessment is Samsung is way understaffed AND integrating bing caused some negative interactions between the companies involved. I won't buy another Samsung... and probably should move off of VZW.

What's a better option in your opinion besides Samsung? Are you more pissed at Samsung or Verizon?

My frustration is primarily with vzw on this... But I've known, or accepted, that one chooses a wireless service provider by asking "who sucks less?".

Weird, I don't use the email client, but I have not experienced any of those issues. My battery does not drain while sleeping (with bt, gps and data all on) everything is smooth as can be. And I have never had to toggle airplane mode. All these bugs I had in dl30 and eb01, but none at all in this release. Also I have had no screen response issues anymore either. Not saying your wrong just posting my experience as well.

We'll have to see how it goes fellow chicagoland resident. I odin'd and ota'd to get the new radio and frameworks and files were compared lastnight and there is some differences in the frameworks between EC01 and ED01 so I'm gonna run themeless until I have time to port my theme over to the new frameworks. Initial impression I have is my data speeds are a little higher and more constant. But I'll give it a go traveling about the city today.
Oh, @OP the tws bug is not limited to our device. It's a froyo thing that many devices suffer from. Google it.
good day.
Everything looks good here... Besides battery life. I just did the ota at 9:30 this morning after about an hour **** has drained 30%. Oh well. I was using heavily, im gonna flash the debloated one and wipe bstats and what not to see if I get some improvement.

If you had display on for an hour 30% drain is normal I think.
I just read the release notes for ed01 posted by kaus... It lists some added bloat, but in many cases contradicts the op of this thread (subject to verification I guess ;-).

My wife and I have this phone. I am running EB01 Superclean and I just odin'd her phone to stock last night and upgraded to OTA ED01. So far, no time without signal bug, browser does not seem choppy, no wakelocks so far. Maybe you should odin to stock and start fresh if you have not done so already. I think that this can fix a lot of issues. No doubt that after brief testing my Superclean w/ -100 imnuts kernel is kicking the snot out of a stock ED01 froyo so far. But I always give it a week for the battery to calibrate and settle so I will report back.
i also have superclean 2.9.2 (nv). i'm not sure if i want to go back to stock and do the official ota because I finally LIKE my phone for the first time since... November? I really liked it for the first month (Oct) when I thought the OTA was due any day... but since then, not so much. but after installing superclean a week or so ago, suddenly i don't care about the ota. unless i hear from one of you more experienced gurus that it's the way to go, that is. I love that I don't have all that bloat on my phone. If i do the ota, I presume the bloat will come with it, and I've heard of people then cleaning up the phone... how is that different from what I already have? should I stay put or is there a distinct advantage to doing the ota and then cleaning it up? any advice and logic behind it would be appreciated. thanks.
Wife and I both have fasc I odin'd her back to stock took ota she so far has not been able to make calls out off and on all day she could answer tho...?? However.. What pisses me off the most is vzw dropping price and trying to sell this to everyone for mothers day like my mom needs this f/%ked up unsupported phone swindled to her."why yes madam this has the very latest software it has always been our best phone and now your kids can make you the coolest mom ever" scam scam scam or should I say spin spin spin the greatest company on the planet can you hear me now..

Don't worry superclean in my opinion is still better. It has all the great sbrissen mods and its only got a couple very tiny bugs (even though I can't think of one)
Plus all the themes you could ever want AND ec01 themes are fine on super clean... I think I'll just chill with what I got.

Anyone using EC01 or ED01 notice similar situation where 3G bounce in and out of connectivity constantly? Originally thought it was Community Rom, but later change to Evil Fascinate 3.4 and 3.3.2 with same issue. Downgrade to EC01 and same issue. Here are some pictures of it.
Did *228, wipe cache, wipe data, wipe devik, and all of that each time. No idea what's going on.

DJ05>DL09>EA28>EB01>EC01>ED01
So far
ED01 - unstable
EC01 - unstable
EB01 - currently on....
Will try both Evil Fascinate & Community Rom 1.1 with each radio
TBH, that's happened to me on every radio. At first ill think the new radio is the culprit, but once I think about it my Fascinate has always had issues with reception. I believe its a hardware issue.

While that only mentions 4G going down it's pretty easy to connect the dots, even if this is anecdotal, the fact it is affecting stock users and others alike is enough for me to not worry, simply relax and wait for them to sort it out.

Look in community rom thread as well as BGR or simple google news search. Verizon has been having issues all day.
Its reported on a great number of phones (not just fascinate), stock or not, 3G and 4G.

its good to know that its almost surely something on verizons end of things. this has been bothering me for about a week. i figured it might have been particular radio files or something like that, then it happened on a stock rom and i started to doubt the integrity of my phone.
hopefully there will be a timely fix.
does anyone get SMS errors (like 107, 97, or any others)? Or "Radio interface resource shortage" errors?
I've been getting these for a week now since I got a refurbished phone. Called Sprint a half hour ago, and they reset something on their end that was supposed to help, but I just got an SMS error again, so apparently it didn't fix it. It's certainly not due to a lack of service, as I have full service. Profile and PRL are all updated. I haven't updated the android version yet due to the reports of bugs, and it not being rootable.
Any ideas? I can call and complain to Sprint again, and since this is my third Shift, I can get any other device, but I'd really rather not...I like the Shift lol
I only get SMS errors if I am texting too fast. But they still all go through.

When I had stock 2.2 I was getting the same issues... I think its a sense thing... I am on nightly #124 now and I have absolutely no issues save for navigation. Then again ever since I went with AOSP over sense I've had no issues. If you want to stick with sense. Maybe try the RUU 2.2 or try the rooted GB update... unsure though

It's not sense, I know that for certain. The first two devices didn't have any service problems other than the occasional error popping up when I literally had no service while roaming
Maybe its just the one u have. Maybe like a bug or error. Try using the RUU. Maybe give it a fresh system. I've used the RUU and it doesn't have any issues. I'm just stabbing in the dark here.

tried that, twice. I rooted this one twice, put custom ROM's on, RUU'd a couple times, didn't fix it. I think if anything there's a problem with the antennas or the software controlling the interaction of the antennas. I'm getting another one on Tuesday, so hopefully that'll work better

I haven't had my new phone in low signal areas yet, so I'm not sure. I know my Mom's shift gets the errors quite frequently when she's at home, where signal is very weak. But I rarely got them even there. I might be out there sometime in the next few days, so I'll have to check it out.
I know this is a pretty well known problem but was wondering if anyone has found a solution. I had this problem on CM7 and have switched to OMFGB and still have the same problem. Occasionally my radio will die and I will not have mobile data for a period of time. I am currently on OMFGB 7/16 with the glitch kernel. It happens enough to become an annoyance so has anyone found a solution or have any suggestions? Thanks.

in the OP of the CM7 thread in development, jt says this may happen and a battery pull should fix it
edit: I guess this is only if the radio completely dies, it seems like your issue is just losing 3G/data and is a known bug that I don't know a fix for

i could be wrong but my understanding is that any rom built off of the ec09 leak will lose data sync and not be able to send or receive until battery pull. I dont think i had the issue with MIUI.

CM7 and MIUI are not built off the EC09 leak, they are built from straight AOSP source.
AFAIK some phones (like mine) loose data completely when flashing on MTD builds like CM7 or Miui. All I had to do was an esn swap, so basically activate a different phone on my line and then re-activate my Fascinate. Problem solved in about 10 minutes.
If it's data problems you're having, this thread is your new best friend:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051543
I had the same 3g issue and an ESN swap worked perfectly for me as well. There's plenty of explanations and such in here on what it is and how to easily do it. IINachtmahrII kind of alluded to that.
The old data issue which is solved by doing the ESN swap is not the same thing as the issues CM7 is having. That issue back when official ED01 Froyo hit was a complete 3G data loss and the ESN swap took care of it. CM7 seems to have a couple issues with data. Be very careful doing a battery pull on CM7. Myself and several others have had a soft bricked device from doing a battery pull on CM7. I am pretty sure the OP is talking about how it seems to work one minute and then stops for a few minutes and eventually comes back. I get it too. Happens on WiFi also.

Hey everyone. I am stock everything, and my wife grabbed my phone and updated for me, you know, just to be nice.
Anyway, the update screwed my reception. I no longer get 4G at home, and otherwise it's pretty bad. I'm new to the device and haven't done much research yet, but I'm not new to the community. Anyone have a fix? I'm ok with rooting for a proper fix. I haven’t yet because I've been crazy busy with kids and work.

Sorry about the thread guys and gals. I'm trying to research things in between making dinner. Eating dinner, bathing my kids, and putting them to bed.
So I found out I can flash old modems over the new build (I think that's right, right?), so I'm looking up info on how to do exactly that, but if someone wants to post instructions, that would be awesome.
Thanks again.

reception has improved for me from mj7, however, i'm in florida... So I dunno... All depends on area and such.
I ended up taking the update, and used to get speeds between 35-50mbps here in Detroit (there's a Cell Tower less than 500 feet from my house), but since the update, my speeds have gone as high as 70mbps and never slower than 45mbps. Granted, I tested this early in the morning....need to test it when folks are up and traffic gets congested.

I Odin'ed back last night, and the results are the same. It held 4G for a few minutes, then went right back to 3G. So far this morning, if I leave my phone on my desk in my office, it holds a single bar of 4G. Once I go to the living room, it drops to 3G. Like I said, prior to the update, I got nearly full signal. I hope it's an issue with Verizon, and that it's temporary.

Your phone will connect to the strongest signal.....so if the 3g is stronger than the 4G it will prefer that unless you force 4g. The bars represent the voice connection and are independent of the 3g/4g which represents the data. Voice wise could be a tower outage or the new radios just suck and same with data. Try rolling back to MJ7 and see if it's the same. I know you said your new so I'd recommend doing some reading on what the db levels represent and so forth.

I did roll back to MJ7 modem with no difference, but you can't roll back the firmware or you get a soft brick. I'm just new to this device, not hacking my phones. Been doing it since my G1
I'm chalking this up to either a Verizon problem, or a change in how the software interprets the signal and displays it. Either way, I'll probably just have to wait for a new update (hopefully KitKat) or end up using SS, rooting, and flashing a custom ROM. A few days time will hopefully help, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

I gotcha. ? I've seen some people say they have been able to roll back...never understood how some can't and some can. I'm currently running Clean Rom and I've had no issues

I ended up taking the update, and used to get speeds between 35-50mbps here in Detroit (there's a Cell Tower less than 500 feet from my house), but since the update, my speeds have gone as high as 70mbps and never slower than 45mbps. Granted, I tested this early in the morning....need to test it when folks are up and traffic gets congested.

Yeah CleanROM is what I'm looking into currently. And also making sure my wife stays away from my phone haha.

Noticed my signal has gotten worse since the update as well. Was at our kids Christmas show last night sitting next to the wife and both on our phones, she on a Virgin Mobile Android on Sprints crap network and me on my N3 Verizon 'super phone'....and she had signal and I did not. NOT real happy bout that! Toggling airplane did nothing to help. It was gone. Hers....fine. And I'm paying twice what she is! If this keeps up, I'll have a Note 3 for sale soon.....
