I am honestly dissapointed with my Fascinate, I bought it because I thought it was going to be very costumizable, with the open loader and all that, the reality is that most devs are not even putting attention to this phone, only a handfull are, I have had it since the first day that came out, and development for this phone is going really really slow, and full of issues.
Relax bro, all good things will come. I was able to mod my phone a lot because these devs are putting all they can into our phone's development.
We already have lag fixes, OC kernels, debloating tutorials, backlight mods, standard unlocking screens, etcetc. Not to mention plenty of themes, apps, and other cool things.
Just relax and take a breather. We got froyo on the way and developers are waiting for that so they can really unleash the beast.

WTF do you need that wasn't described in Post #2?
Don't say Froyo, because that's something EVERYONE wants. My phone does everything I want it to at a blazing speed, maybe you're just lazy and don't look into things deeper. IDK.

I am very very very very very very happy with it. Only lacking .gif support in the browser. But that's what 2.2 is for.
good day. From the Fascinate sporting the XDA app.
if you want to customize your phone learn to make apps,themes, and what not your self.you can't customize your phone if you don't put effort into it. don't complain if you won't contribute and work at it

Actually, there are devs but they don't have the froyo kernal to work with. SGS international version has the kernal leaked, that's why they have the froyo-beta-ish roms.

Having come from an N1, which is inarguably the most dev friendly Android phone to date, I have to whole heartedly disagree with the OP. It is a little aggravating dealing with Voodoo now and then, and the processes are a little different, but all in all this phone is fantastic.
I have a custom bare-bone type rom built, fully themed and customized to my hearts content. Four installed launchers that each have a completely different style and feel which I can switch at will. OC Voodoo lag and color fix kernel running on interactive thanks to Jt, and plenty of mix and match mods and hacks to keep me flashing back and forth so frequently no one can actually call me.
We do only have a handful of devs working on the fascinate currently. They happen to also be pretty damn awesome, and give us plenty to work and play with.
I have to re-ask the question, what the hell are you actually looking to do that you can't?

How come everyone who has a bad experience, or is disapointed with there device gets called a troll? Isnt this the purpose of the Forums....to speak your opinion, learn a few things and see if anyone feels the same way?
I remember when everyone ...well people still do make fun of apple fan boyz because thats all they love is apple....but i have the feeling android fanz are becoming the same thing....close minded and haterz!!!
The purpose of android was openess and freedom....so wake up people the trolls are not those who complain about a priduct they paid good $$$$ money fir but are disapointed... the trolls are the haterz and people who beleive that there the best and there way is the only way!!!
Generally because you can sum up their complaints to a) why aren't devs giving me what I want now b) I have had my phone a month, understand very little but need to complain, or c) this phone sucks, I had my g1 for a year and we had tons of mods, dev r teh lazy.
So yeah, trolls.
If they were here to learn... The complaints wouldn't be their posting topics, they would be off learning. They are here to feed off others works and complain.

I gotta disagree with you, the thread is posted in the general section. If hes disapointed with the phone. I think its good if he tells us why. Im disapointed not because of support with the phone but because alot of stuff out the box doesnt work as advertised.....gps lag etc............and yes there are lag fixes but i paid top $$$ for it to work out the box not for me to go find a fix.
either way i think the word troll is used to freely.

I agree with you about the general section & out of the box comment. Its just that there are many other threads with the same topic. But he has the right to post this question, and I was merely asking what was wrong with the phone according to him. Out of the box, the phone is still very capable and it honestly doesnt need to be modded. But the mods are very nice.
Also what phone is perfect stock? There's always cons, and that's why we're on the forums looking for answers.

Guys im wondering ... if you could get rid of your fascinate for a different model which would it be? Doesnt have to be Android. Just wondering cause I think im done with android and fascinates underacheiving. The applications just arent there yet.
Ofcourse since im on verizin there are no other choices but come xmas/new years im certain there will be.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
We're all on Verizon, and like you say there is not another choice. Why do you keep posting this kind of stuff? Need attention?
If I HAD to get a different phone, the only viable option would be the Droid X.
I would LOOVVEE me some windows phone action. They are breaking down so many barriers. You're right android sucks. I am so sick of having choices and options. I long for the day that I get to stare at a lackluster ui and colored blocks. And don't get me wrong I love the fascinate and does everything I want it to do. Being stuck with that metro ui interface and waiting and hoping for some apps to be developed does have a certain attraction.
good day.

I sincerely hope you switch to the Iphone so you can make use of Grindr (not yet supported on android, and probably the inspiration for his applications gripe) as much as you want and stop making these retarded posts.
I want a unicorn phone that can recharge off of rainbows.
Seriously, it'll take at least two cores, a front facing camera, 4G, simultaneous calls and data, and native 1080p for me to even consider replacing my phone. I'd even be willing to settle for gingerbread. They can slog it down with all the bloatware and awkward file systems they want, as long as it roots. IOS has a rich app base, but it just feels suffocating for me to use it. I think this community is spectacular, disregarding the occasional burst of irrelevant or misplaced threads. I'm a first time smartphone user though, so I guess I don't know what I'm missing.

the only phone i would switch for would be an evo. other than that i'd wait till the spring/summer to see whats out
Lol im just Venting. I get bored with tech easily. The wait for fascinates update.... Killer!! I posted a few weeks ago that Madden was coming for android....Nfl season is almost over and nothing haha.
Themes for Android just arent my thing. No devs makin apps and its androids fault in not implementing solid DRM protection. Just Sad!
i was gonna go windows mobile 7 cause i love the UI but the browser stinks. I might get pulled into a Iphone if it ever comes to Verizon.

So, as we've been telling you for a while, sell it on Craigslist or something and go get an iPhone. Seriously. Your trolling is annoying. We get it. You do not like the phone or Android. So STFU about it. I wish the mods would ban you so that your useless troll threads would stop cluttering up these boards. You could have just posted the first two sentences and had a good, although off topic, thread. But no. You just had to troll some more.
Nexus 2... duh

Marty,
Please find a different forum to go spamming and pissing other people off in. xda is a forum for developers and modders. It's not for people to sit around and complain about their phone, request crap that doesn't exist, and or ask for themes that no one wants to develop for this phone.
I'm pretty sure I'm speaking for everyone when I say that you are a nuisance to these forums.
Thanks,
Matt.
crap like this belongs in xda/general or offtopic.
good day.
it was suppossed to be in general Chopper even got a pm saying it was moved for me..... oh well just close the thread please.
i was just curious about peoples thought.

Google only has so much power. If they want yo offer some of these services they news to cooperate with Netflix, MPAA, etc. I think some of these blogs/people are blowing this out of proportion.
Tapa tapa tapa
The article sounds a bit hysterical to me, going for fearmongering which surprises me coming from Kendrick who I usually agree with. This feels like those Apple commissioned "Android is tracking you too!" articles that came out during the recent iPhone privacy problems.
The fact that both Netflix and Google are doing this only with videos makes very clear what is inspiring it...they are afraid of getting sued by some deep-pocketed movie studio in an RIAA style vendetta because some wizkid found a way around DRM on a rooted device and passed 100 copies of Avatar 5 or something. At the very least that possibility could make the studios deny their content to Android while still suppling it to tight-as-a-drum iPhones and ipads. That would be bad.
This seems like an altogether healthy and intelligent step for Google to take to protect android's future growth. I can't see Andy "Privacy? Where?" Rubin fighting an all out campaign against rooted Android devices...and the carriers won't since they they know rooted phones are a big draw against the iPhone.
This is definetly bloggers just looking for negative android stories to please Cupertino.

i dont think anything will happen for rooted users.
its what makes android / google so unique, Free from the closed source community.
if they where to clamp down on rooted users it would put off a lot of users, maybe making them switch to another OS.. google dont want that.
Anyway, its our device so its upto us what we do with it, we know that rooting voids our warranty / improves chances of bricking, but we do it still...
android is for the experienced phone user, if it wasnt hackable, i dont think we would like it so much

I sure hope not and I pray that this doesn't catch on. With HTC doing their best to make rooting custom ROMs impossible and app vendors deciding they don't want to run on rooted phones at all that might give others ideas ... When all's said and done jailbroken iPhone users might have more freedom than we do.

First, I know that it is true, but it is not the first step in an antirooting war that Kendrick tries to present it as. Therefore, it is fearmongering.
Second, since all such downloads go through Apple's proprietary money spinner called iTunes, it is a much more controllable environment than android with the market. Apple has pledged itself from the first iPod to be all about DRM....Google not so much.

I agree.
It's not really going to do much to the community. Someone will find a way around it if it is infact true.
Okay folks, I am as hardcore a geek as anyone else in here, I am certain of that. I am looking forward to Lollipop, and it is certainly a nice design and very pleasing to the eyes... but I don't quite understand why everyone is getting so completely tied up and impatient about it having not arrived, yet. I've used it on my 1st gen Moto G (XT1032) and yeah - it looks VERY nice... but... so what? What tangible and real benefits does it offer over what you all have now? I'm sorry - I am either missing something HUGE, or (which is more likely to be the real issue), we just have an internet of impatient geeks who only desire it BECAUSE it is new and fresh.
My first instincts were these: "Oh wow, it's very nice... but it's not THAT amazing... it's just Android with a new look and a few new options - I can't *quite* see what all the impatience and fuss is about. "
Let me reiterate again; Lollipop is GREAT, but then, so is chocolate, and once you've eaten a bar, your desire tends to diminish, somewhat. Yeah... it's a new OS... but... ah, I dunno... just a lot of hoo haa as usual. I am *not* saying it is not a great OS, I am saying that the hype VASTLY VASTLY exaggerates one's sense of expectation (as I knew it would), and... well... don't get HUGELY excited - it's just Android how it always should have been.
No big deal - don't lose any sleep over it - and don't work yourselves into an impatience rage - it's SO not worth that, with all honesty.
Summary: Lollipop is a new version of Android. If you get excited beyond the point of calm, content, child-like anticipation, you're working yourself up for no reason.
That is all. Have a lovely day.

Not every thread has to have a black and white "purpose" - it's merely my ponderings over the situation - as a human thing - we all have wonderings and thoughts, and yes - MANY people are getting in a real state over this release, and I see no reason for it.

Being an internal employee I've been using the Lollipop over three weeks now... I personally feel that the memory management and battery has taken a huge leap here... So the effort put on this version is HUGE... They've done a pretty decent job...

Yo, guys.
I just bought today s7 edge black onyx, and i cant believe how awesome this phone is. Also, i got Level On Pro Wireless headphones, which are great too!
I have used iPhone for 4 years, and i can say i'm pretty new about this whole stuff. Can you commend me some tips, tricks, some android forums, and all related to s7 edge.
Thanks!
Welcome to Android and xda?
99.999999% of everything you'll need, want to know, and that you need but don't know you need yet is posted here. My advice is to spend a while (a week maybe) getting to know your phone. Don't try any tweaks or similar yet. And read read read read! Everything is here. It may be buried deep in the fora, but seek and you will find.
