Hey guys, I'm on my second fascinate...returned the first one because I couldn't stay connected to 3g for any length of time. For example, trying to stream pandora or youtube would always drop out / buffer and not reconnect. After getting my second phone I am still having this problem. When I finally do get connected it's terribly slow and soon drops out. Thought it may have just been reception first but my original droid worked prefect in the same areas (i live maybe 50ft from the verizon tower lol) and have the same problems in other cities too.
I've learnt to live with the audio playback pops and gps in hopes that they get fixed in an ota, but haven't really heard much about a fix for this. Really hope someone can help, love the phone aside from this problem, but it kind of makes paying $30 extra for a smart phone feel well, dumb
Oh, Im stock too besides the d01 update and have tried both *228 and *22899 also
*22899?

Give Verizon a call, there are some internal settings on the phone that they can adjust that might help. They did that for me it involved going into the dialer and putting in some number i forgot what it was, but i then had to enable something, and we went through the screens. They had me change one setting that gave me a more consistent signal.
It was something with 9s in it haha. And I called verizon, ended up changing some of my cdma settings through the dialer... Really wish I had wrote down all the steps because it took me deep into menus that aren't changeable without the codes.... Either way, it's somewhat better but I wouldn't say that completely fixed my problem.
3g still drops out much to frequently. when I get service, it seems quicker but youtube or downloading a large file are still impossible....
No one else is having this problem or found a fix? I'm at wits end, feel like spiking my phone onto the pavement at times lol
I just yesterday got a replacement Fascinate, with that issue being one of my reasons for exchanging it. So far, I don't seem to be seeing any such issues, but time will tell. If the issue comes back, I might try falling tech support for those dialer codes mentioned here.

This is not my actual phone but my girlfriends. We live a pretty good distance from each other so I haven't had time to play around with it. I have a few questions though since I plan to go root her phone. I'm coming from a Verizon Droid X.
Are there any fixes/causes for her phone randomly turning off?
I'm going to root her phone and I'm sure I need to do a little research before I do so, but what are some of the most stable & fast ROM's? Since I won't be around often I need to install something that won't cause her any problems.
Any help would be nice and appreciated.
Thanks
Hi guys, jsut got my xoom tablet today and loving it so far. Has anyone else been experiencing network error messages? i didn't activate my xoom tablet when i bought it at best buy so i'm wondering if this might have something to do with it. anyone else buy it without activation? what about those who bought it with activation. programs it does this is accuweather and a few others.
update: i just took off airplane mode and the error doesn't pop up. since i didn't activate it i shouldn't be charged right? just seems a shame to have to have network on, therefore wasting battery life. . .
Mine does the same thing especially when downloading from the market.
So far I am extremely disatisfied with the xoom. Hopefully this issue and
The terrible video playback is fixed.

I'm not hearing much about this and maybe I'm missing something. But I have been rooted with every phone since gs3 and my main reason is for sprint hotspot. I am currently on a GS5 and upgraded from lollypop to MM and had to re-root. Now I am finding hotspot has changed and is not easily accessed. Please clarify with me and what the heck are we to do if we depend on this? Is there a go around I don't know about, is somone working on it????
walking back into the room with my head hung low, guess all I have to do is search a little more and I find my answers right before my eyes.
Howdy everyone, I've been lurking for a bit but much of this stuff goes over my head.
I got hit with that sneaky update at the start of the year that disabled the little trick to get the hotspot to turn on. Now the few times I fire up the ps4, I can't really play anything online. Is there a way to get my hotspot to come back on?
I was thinking of rolling back to an earlier update/ rooting/ or flashing something with Odin (which requires root?) I haven't rooted anything before though I jailbroke an iPhone 3g back in the day. Only thing keeping me from rooting is fear that should I drop this thing my insurance wouldn't replace it. I've spent a good deal of time looking for answers and now I'm throwing in the towel and asking for help. Let me know if anyone needs some more info from me. I'm not as tech savvy as I once was but I know a bit about car and aircraft maintenance if anyone has any questions about that lol.
Thanks in advance
Tldr:I'd like my hotspot to work again, what's the best way to go about it 1)Downgrading to an earlier update,
2)rooting (voids insurance?) Or 3) flash something else with Odin (requires root anyway?)
