My problem is that I have a grandfathered plan that every time I've spoken to Loyalty dept, they've basically told me to stick with my plan and buy a phone outright. That it'll be cheaper in the long run. To get what I currently have, would be 30$ more /mth. @ 2yrs, that's 720$! So not worth...

Tough to justify 50$ less on 1 year old technology (700$ for the 32G M8 vs 750$ for the 32G S6). Biggest advantage is the expandable SD slot that the S6 is missing. But still 700$ for year-old equipment sounds like pure theft to me...

Thx. That's what I ended up doing. Using the same dpi as Slim (182) and seems to be ok. Other than the phone being way past due. Just waiting for the S6 to show up. A a little miffed tho... I have to buy off contract (full price). So I spoke to telus and they still sell you the phone...

I don't know if anyone s still following this thread but here goes none the less. :) I've finally got around to reflashing my phone (after 2 years) with CM11. My first reaction was the DPI. So far runs smoothlyish but te DPI is huge compared to hat I had its cm10. My problem is that I can't...

Not bad! I didn't actually think you could get that much for it even. After 4 yrs, the phone is so slow and unresponsive that it is truly become a dinosaur. As awesome as it was when it came out, newer apps/graphics/etc just require so much extra juice that the 1G single core proc just can't...

Yeah - my mistake. A quick search yesterday popped up a Lollipop ROM for a T959, but wasn't the T959D (i9000), but rather a newer one. Really??? There is actually a market for something like a T959D? As a media device or other? How much can you possibly get for it? As sad as it sounds...

Has anyone tried Lollipop on the T959D? If so, how does it respond? Which ROM / Kernel did you use? Thanks! Eric

Still on my t959 as we'll. although I have to say it is getting old and slow. Still running JB on it but have the feeling I should upgrade it to kitkat. Just don't want to bother with reflashing and reinstalling etc. Have looked several times for something to replace it , but everything is...

Thanks, but mine has a cracked corner as well. I was hoping to try to use the phone without a sleeve but with a broken back, kinda difficult. :) Will see if ebay has anything inexpensive that I can try instead. Tx again! Eric

Ok - so I finally reflashed CM10.1. First impressions: Holy cow big DPI! Forgot how accustomed to the SB DPI I've become. Waiting for it to finish d/l;ing all my apps from Google Play to reboot. But my other first impression is that it is not particularly snappy either. One of the issues I...

I tried BLN a while back and found it sucked up battery life. Was kinda of suprised considering they were just LEDs. Do you not find that it sucks up a bit of battery life? What is LMK? Are you no longer using Nova as your launcher? Tx, Eric

Thanks for the offer. What does 'not great' mean? Scratched or broken? Or purple and pink with liquid paper spots all over them? :)

Hey .. does anybody by any chance have a spare back cover (ie: the battery cover) for the T959D? Mine has a nasty crack in it, but I'd like to make the phone survive a little bit longer before I throw in the towel for a new one. Thanks! Eric

Ditto for me. I'm leaning towards the S4 vs the One. Although Telus did have a 100$ off last week for a trade in on any phone towards the One. I was very tempted, but just couldn't pull the trigger. Coincidentally, my last 4 phones have all been Samsungs, except for a Motorola I picked up as...

I've got a Canadian Fascinate T959D (same form factor as the Vibrant T959) but the back cover is broken. I'm looking for a replacement cover (the rest of the phone works fine). Does anybody have a spare? It is also compatible with an GI9000, if anyone has one of those instead. Thanks! Eric

Thanks - will give it a shot. Need to reflash first. If I flash the RC5, can I still use CyanDelta to update nightly changes? Or best just to stick to the nightly branch altogether? Thanks, Eric

Have gotten utterly fed up with my SB install at the moment. Too many things going wrong: very sluggish, too many FCs, cannot connect via USB any more, battery usage has dropped like a rock in the last month or so, anything other than the headset earpiece disconnects randomly (ex: bluetooth...

Holy cow - that explains it. 2450mAh compared to stock 1500mAh. You're getting almost double the life. That's fantastic. Any issues with fit in the T959D, or is the battery compartment exactly the same as the i9000? What about early recharge/memory issues? (Have had these issues with China...

Can you post a link to the ad/vendor that you used? How long have you been using this battery? I've had mixed issues with China batteries in the past. They would work great out of the box, but would suffer terrible drains after a few months of use (maybe 6), whereas the OEM batteries would...

Really? Reformat SD card as well? Whats the need for that? Any idea?

Full wipe as in wipe data/system/cache and davlik?

I'm waiting for the S4 as well. As much as the T959 is 'solid', I find it that it is very sluggish. I haven,t had a chance to try CM10.1 yet though; am still hoping that will give it a little boost of speed. BTW - has anyone tried SB 4.2.2 yet? Worth the upgrade?

Me and my big mouth. Phone just randomly rebooted into recovery mode while I was talking on it. Okay - time to try out CM10.1 nightlies then and see if I get a better result. Will see if I get some time later today.

Have only used Bluetooth with a headset, and am very disappointed with the hands-free Google Voice calling. Quite frankly, it is terrible. It takes forever to prompt me to dial and if/when it does (about 50% of the time), it takes 5-10s to process the voice and return with options. Most of...

Did you flash dirty, or do a wipe when you went back to CM10.1 from SB4.2.1? On a completely separate note - I only get a single email notification from this thread when a new posting is made. However, until I visit the site again, I get no new notifications. Other threads on XDA will...

Let me know if you get multiple text messages. Since I've gone to Slim 4.2.1, every so often, I will get a single text message come in 4 or 5 times over a span of 1-5 mins. JP - have you had this issue with CM10.1 at all? ---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09...

There are a lot of different ways to back up EFS once the phone is rooted. One is simply copying the files using ES Explorer. Although it shows up as a folder, EFS is actually a separate mounted partition. Consequently, you can also make images of the partition using dd or using tar (via ADB...

Re: [TELUS T959D FASCINATE] One Stop Shop (updated Sept 2012) :JP has kind of beat me to the punch, but I concur with just about everything he said. I started on 2.3.3 on this'd phone a couple of years ago and was frustrated for the longest time with it. Random reboots and lock ups, etc...

Re: [TELUS T959D FASCINATE] One Stop Shop (updated Sept 2012) I just realized that the search key didn't work. Where/what do I edit in which file too make it work? Thx Eric Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

You can try reflashing your original (stock) FW to your phone. That may restore your imei. It did for me.

Re: [TELUS T959D FASCINATE] One Stop Shop (updated Sept 2012) Looks pretty similar. Not a significant improvement/change. Fat fingers will still hit the hang up button... here are screen shots from SB.2.1. Great - can't upload images from xda app-developers app anymore for some reason...

Had my first random reboot into recovery mode today while on the phone, so was quite annoyed. Took 2 or 3 mins before it rebooted. Haven't had a chance to reflash 4.2.1 release yet, so will do that today. Is the CM10.1 or the remICS in-call dialer the same as SB4.2.1? I'm somewhat annoyed at...

Re: [TELUS T959D FASCINATE] One Stop Shop (updated Sept 2012) Just noticed that slim 4.2.1 has official stable release. Will try to upgrade to that and see if it makes a difference. Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

Re: [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean - I9000 [Stable v1.0] I'm on RC2 AND seeing a lot of duplicate text messages coming in. For instance I'll get the same message 5 times in a row. It's not consistent though. Almost as though the carrier is not getting the acknowledgement that the text is received...

Re: [TELUS T959D FASCINATE] One Stop Shop (updated Sept 2012) Just on SB or did you notice it on anything else as well? Is this a Rom issue/bug? Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

Re: [TELUS T959D FASCINATE] One Stop Shop (updated Sept 2012) Really strange occurrence I started noticing. I don't know off it is SB related or a problem with Telus but I started getting text messages in duplicates, triplicates and even 5 or 6 times in a row. Not sure if this is a Rom...

Re: [TELUS T959D FASCINATE] One Stop Shop (updated Sept 2012) Screenshot of battery life for first 24 hours following calibration. I figure the Wi-Fi is sync related but I've always had sync on and never had that much attributed to Wi-Fi. Any way I can reduce the drain to Wi-Fi? Sent from my...

Likely jinxing things but I too have found this to be much mite stable so far than stock gb. Although I did have one phantom dial out yesterday. Just put the phone down on the counter and it randomly decided to dial voice mail. Thought it might have been triggered by my bt headset but my...

I managed to unlock mine using Galaxy S Unlock. Didn't work at first, but eventually I upgraded to Sem 2.9.10s and reran it. Don't know if that made the difference (would be doubtful), but it worked. Tested against a Fido voice-only SIM yesterday and it worked fine on Fido. I have no reason...

For sure it is. I tried installing it and it failed. Then I see it in the Control Panel, so I've tried removing it from there, but the uninstall process fails as well. I've tried installing and/or uninstalling the USB drivers in safe mode and that too fails. Am getting really annoyed. They...

Strangely enough, it is still not recognized. Still shows up in device manager with a beautiful yellow triangle next to the GT-I9000. Will have to reboot clean and see if it makes a difference; just been difficult finding a few minutes to reboot today.

Thanks to RivalComp. Need to install Semaphore Manager and enable TUN. Once that option is turned on, am able to bluetooth tether without problems. Woohoo! No more need for wifi hotspot (and significant battery drain vs bluetooth). As a separate question, does anyone know where I can find...

Genius! Works like a charm! Thanks.

Cannot connect via adb? I just did a clean install of 4.2.1-RC2 yesterday, and so far most things are working great. Issues I've encountered are: - I tried to enable USB debugging (Developer Options -> Android Debugging) but "adb devices" shows an empty list - BLN notification delays don't...

Considering I just went through this yesterday, you'd think I would remember. I do remember not having any google apps until I installed gapps. I don't remember if gmail was missing or not. I do find it a little odd that it is missing. As recommended by JP, I would do a clean install (as per...

Ahhh - thought the i9000 was rear facing only. Speaking of which - why do we flash i9000 when there is a kernel and a rom for the T959 vibrant? Is the T959 Vibrant not the same hardware as the T959D? (damn that's confusing). Checked it out, but it doesn't have per button notification either...

Can BLN control independently control the different button LEDs on an i9000? Or is that a hardware limitation? It would be nice to be able to set different app notifications to different buttons (ie: missed calls on menu button, texts on home button, email on return button, others on search...

There is only: /dev/block/platform/s3c-sdhci.0 /dev/block/platform/s5pc110-onenand

Not to be redundant with karmatose and jp, but I ran into exactly the same situation yesterday. It sounds like you didn't flash gapps (google apps). You can find the link for the right gapps package for CM10 at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps. Reboot into CWM and install zip from sdcard...

Before I heard back from you, I backed up my efs partition with dd and then flashed to a new ROM. Now, I'm having trouble getting adb to connect, so I unfortunately can't try it out on my new ROM and see if there is any difference. If I am able to connect, I'll let you know. THanks, Eric
