I have a Fascinate running a "PowerWashed" FroYo build. This has been running fine for months, but the past few weeks, I occasionally don't receive calls. I'll get a notification for a new voicemail, but no missed call on record.
This didn't bother me too much until yesterday. My wife and baby were in a car accident (rear-ended by a 23 year old, texting of course....) My wife repeatedly called me. The calls never made it. Only after frantically calling me time and time again did she leave me a voicemail, which I got the notification for.
Could this be a problem with the rom? The radio? I'm not sure where to start. I don't want to spend a lot of time flashing new stuff if I don't need to. If I have to flash anyway, I sure wouldn't mind flashing an ICS build if there is a stable enough one for Fascinate.
This has been an ongoing issue ever since Froyo was released. Verizon says it was supposedly fixed in ED05 but reports are mixed on whether or not it is. Also people say this is worse in areas where LTE is present but I don't know how substantial that is.
What version of Power washed are you running? Have you tried upgrading to an EH03 from like Superclean3 or GeeWiz 2.4.2 or 2.5?

I would update the radio to EH03, because it is a reliable radio version. I had a similar problem but with my version of ICS because the radio the ROM came with was jacked up.

ICS builds not come with a radio...its uses the radio you previously had.
Must have been a different one then, but either way using stock radios does insure greater reliability

its the same radio if you would ota the stock update or flash the radio via odin. it was pulled directly from someones stock. so im not too sure what you are talking about when you say "stock radios insure greater reliability"

geewiz or scms2 are good ideas, pair them with either kgb or geewiz kernel and your phone will fly. either use ec09 or eh03 modem. imo eh03 is faster and ec09 is more reliable when it comes to not switching from 1x to 3g.

The rom I used is "powerwash v1.2 testkernel 08152011". So, I guess it's a bit old. I want a rock-solid rom with 100% incoming call reception success. ICS preferred of course, but would take Gingerbread if the call reception is more solid.

Just flash the ec09 or eh03 radio...when i ran powerwashed froyo, i used imnuts pbj kernel with ec09 radio. Rock solid setup with no missed calls. But yes upgrade to something like superclean3 with kgb kernel or cm7.2 with glitchv13.1
I can't seem to find just the EH03 radio. Where can I get this? Also, can I flash through Clockwork, or do I have to do this with ODIN again?

I'm not with telus. I went back to 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26. The newer ones gave some problems. Sometimes bluetooth was not able to switch on. Only a reboot helps.

It would probably be helpful if you told us what radio you are currently on. I'm still using 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03 as well and it's been pretty good. Occasionally I cant get a signal but its usually pretty good.

UPDATE: Seems like the problem is still their. Thought it was gone but loose signal drops calls and voice fades in and out. i am running the latest radio. Does any one have a nandroid backup of the stock telus rom etc. Maybee its a hardware issue
thanks
update above
I'm in Vancouver and been using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 for a while now and everything seems to work fine ( I am not using bluetooth though). You might want to give it a try or/and maybe change the ROM. I remember reading somewhere on the VillainRom.co.uk forums that Telus Hero users with a Froyo ROM should use 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 but that was months ago when early versions of FroydVillain were released so I don't know.
I shuould note, GPS tends to be kind of slower than I`d like. Been thinking about updating to the latest but I wonder if it really changes anything.
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.

Will try both Evil Fascinate & Community Rom 1.1 with each radio

Your radio, your selection of rom. I tell you this much, put on vaelpak 3.2 RC2 rom on your phone and you def won't be having those problems. Watch that evo come to life!

I have already loaded a rom sorry I should have mention that before. I have loaded the EVO ZONE rom and ClockMod Recovery. Can I flash a up to date/ better radio with out flashing the entire rom?
Just try to update profile and update prl and see if that works. You should do that after flashing.
I did it but my 3G speeds are bad. I ran a speedtest while in a good 3G service area and was getting 0.4kbps down. I would like to go back to the stock Sense rom but dummy me didnt back it up.
I'm also experiencing the same issue(s)
I totally agree with ropodope. It can definitely be the rom, I used the original Miui and noticed I had poor reception where I would normally have good reception. It could be the radio or maybe even the kernel, my suggestion would be try different roms and kernels because you can find what works best on your phone.
Good luck.

Yes you can download updated radios or previous radios to find your trouble spot. Just dl them to your sd card and flash as you would a rom or a kernel. Wipe your cache and dalvik cache first. Wait a couple of minutes to allow the radio to write the image. When done flashing, just reboot. The radios are on here. Just do a search.

You have any suggestion on getting a good radio to flash?
You should try downloading rom manager from the market. I'm sure there is a few stock evo roms on there. If you can't find a rom that is to your liking you can check the roms in the evo 4G development forums here on XDA. Be sure to read about the roms and what others are saying about the rom before you flash. A lot of the time I find that after seeing 10 to 20 people complain about the same or similar issues I wouldn't be satisfied with that rom, but that's just me.

As far as 3g I have tried this fix with good results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
To be honest, Ive had bad reception with PRI 1.77 and 1.90. Also my roms are varying day to day i try new ones.
roms i think are good are MikZ, mikG, Evokings and other sense roms.
When I got my phone in January I had GREAT signal here at work. I noticed that after I rooted it I lost that great signal. Now I'm back to 1-0 bars all day. I think something in the rooting process screws the signal, I don't know much about it so I'm not sure what that could be. All I know is before I rooted my phone I sat at work with 3g signal in the basement of the building. After rooting I'm lucky to get 2 bars in the parking lot. I ran just the rooted stock for 2 months hoping it would magically clear itself up but of course it didn't
I've tried 3 ROMS so far. Fresh 4.0, MikFroyo & VaelPak. Of the 3 I seem to get a slightly better signal with VP.

Without being able to use a custom Kernel, I don't see any reason to go to Gingerbread. Kernels are the only thing that actually makes your phone have better battery life, ROMS are great for looking great, but for battery ill wait!
You should try Synergy. Myn has it done right. Super snappy, everything works. Check out his warm 2.2 thread in development. I miss the looks of warm 2.2, but Myn will have them on 2.3 soon enough I'm sure.

Srf 1.2.0 or if your going for gingerbread I still like acs bamboozled
sent from my epic 4g. with the key skips.
They are ALL good. Just depends on what you want.
Why do so many people ask the same question? It is like the exact same question and nothing has changed in over a month. Best ROM is ALWAYS a matter of opinion and what works for you. Just read the threads for each ROM and find out what problems it comes with and what improvements are in there and decide if it is right for you. Some wipe all bloatware and Sprint apps, some don't, some have themes and some don't....gotta read.
Yup, its all about personal preference. Also, ROMs behave differently on each phone. I couldn't get SRF 1.0 or 1.1 to work right ever on my Epic but 1.2 works great. Yiu really have to try them out

Best that I've Used
The best ROM that I have used is the ERA OLYMPUS ROM. It feels very stable and is extremely fast. It might be a placebo but it feels like the GB ROMs are much snappier than stock Froyo. I did change out the theme on the ROM though. The Stockish ROM was cancelled but the ACE theme that is linked to on the page looks really nice. I also flashed Chris' updated EH17 Plus kernel onto this. so far I've had to redo the ROM a few times but that has been mostly due to my own negligence, such as swapping SD cards with my friend's Droid X about 20 times in one day while trying to help him fix it. One good thing is that I may only have a random reboot 2 or 3 times a day. I can deal with that. Overall I really like this ROM and it is just as good as any stock OTA GB that may come out in the future.
I haven't tried many, but I have SRF 1.2 now, and it's awesome. Well worth it to try it out IMO.

You can flash the zip anytime, on or off. I am not sure exactly how it works, but basically with it off anytime your battery dies, or comes out or phone shuts off any way other than holding power, when you restart you will have uncontrollable force closes. With it on you lose a pinch of performance (not really noticeable) but you will not worry about the force close issue in case anything happens.
Most of us suggest having it on.

Journaling costs you a little speed but helps you data from getting corrupted in case of a bad shutdown, bad flash, battery falls out, ect. I always turn journaling on.

thanks for the response.
believe it or not, I actually haven't had any unplanned shut downs since flashing to SRF 1.2 (along w/Genocide 1.1) a few months back but, lately (as in the last few days), I've noticed that my battery performance has really dropped. in addition, my phone has exhibited some occasional flakey behavior: one in particular is making a phone call, seeing that I'm connected (call timer starts ticking away), but hearing total silence. the person on the other end receives a call from me but they can't hear a damn thing from my end. this problem is only corrected with a reboot or shut down. I was curious if my not having journaling enabled could be accounting for any of it. like I said, these issues are recent, and I do live in an area now with considerably worse Sprint coverage than before. For example, in my apartment, I can't even get a reliable Sprint signal. Without my Airvana (which has huge issues with maintaining a consistent lock onto the GPS) I couldn't even really use my phone without roaming on Verizon.
anyway, just a bunch of stuff that's been bugging me and I'm not entirely sure what to do about it.
Sometimes booting into recovery and wiping Cache partition and Dalvik Cache will free up the performance. Its my understanding that over time it can build up causing lag or stuttering..well general performance loss. Anyhow, here's the journal on zip in case you need it..

Honestly ReVolt, SRF 1.2 and Urban Regeneration are all great. Regen is themed blue with apps added and some custom sounds, ReVolt is leaner with a custom kernel based off of Genocide 2.0, SRF 1.2 has a lot of under the hood tweaks that I am not familiar with. Revolt has Hotspot hack baked in lasted version. It is a flashable add on for the other two. They are all excellent choices

Nope, its even recommended to do this once a week.
