Is anyone else wondering the same thing about the verizon Samsung fascinate ? - Fascinate General

I recently bought the Verizon Samsung fascinate, and so far its a good phone, how ever I do notice acouple of odd things about it. On the corner left top side of the phone there appears to be a front facing camera and LED notification light, maybe I might sound retarded for saying This but, it doesn't work. I'm wondering is it because Verizon crippled the function, or is it because I just haven't figuered it out yet? I'd appreciate any comments regarding these two misteries.

I bet you told your little brothers and sisters the truth about Santa!
I knew it wasn't a camera, but wished it was.
I wish this was like the Vibrant with its 16GB and free Avatar ( still have on my 32GB sd even though I cant play it)

Hahahaha fml, I thought it was a camera and led. . So just sensors, so the next Question, what is better Droid X or fascinate

Fascinate has a better processor, better gpu, and better memory. The display is better, though the resolution is slightly higher on the X, it's a slightly larger screen, so its a wash. X has more mp, but the camera as well as photo quality are better on the fascinate. This is better hardware. I'll admit I'm not a fan of touch wiz, but we have no bombs bolt into our phones, so development should come faster and stronger.
Amen.

You cannot load official htc widgets on the fascinate. Which is better composted to the droid x and fascinate. Well given the fact that I first had the X and I returned it for the Fascinate, and never looked back. +1 fascinate

from what ive seen.. the launcher pro plus widgets are similar to the htc ones.. i paid the $3 or so and i think its worth it... ive been using LP for a while now so i didnt mind throwing the dev a couple dollars for support.
beautiful widgets is a very nice clock/weather widget... its pay too.. but again, i dont mind paying for good support.

I've always preferred the Weather & Toggle Widget to Beautiful Widgets. Beautiful Widgets is the trendy pick, but Weather & Toggle Widget + the H7C skin is a better mimic of HTC Sense than the Beautiful flip clock widget (the fonts are more accurate and it has the correct top margin which Beautiful lacks--their's crashes right into the notification bar, which is incorrect). I own both but I regret Beautiful Widgets, even though it's more popular.

The Droid X's resolution is 854x480, versus the Fascinate's 800x480. Bigger? Yes. Bigger enough that you'd ever notice the difference? Not likely. Plus, there's no getting around the "just the right size" feeling of the Fascinate. Oh, and the function buttons are terrible on the Droid X. I find it ironic that a phone that's so huge would have buttons that are so small, making them hard to press. I played with one in a store, and was NOT impressed.

i got beautiful widgets right after it came out on my droid 1... they had the htc flip clock style one that was so good, htc filed a c&d... anyhow the new skins on bw is still excellent... i like the smaller clock/weather one..

So much truth. I had the Droid X since it launched and recently sold it on ebay for the Samsung Fascinate. Its a million times better. Nothing really wrong with the Touch Wiz interface but the samsung widgets are garbage.

Touch wiz

I feel like I am in an extreme minority of people that love touchwiz. I used to have a droid with stock ui, a droid 2 with blur, and have extensively used sense on family members phones and touchwiz by far blows them out of the water... There are a lot of intuitive features I can't believe I lived without like setting controls on the notification bar and a redial button after calling. I also find it much more aesthetically pleasing than other UIs, and really does SAMOLED justice with its vibrant colorization.
What do you folks think?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I actually like touch wiz too, I've used adw and launcher pro and I keep going back to touch wiz. I'm using the one from the vibrant from this forum somewhere because I couldn't stand the app drawer not being in alphabetical order lol. But since I have that version, I love it.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I can't stand that either! Are there any disadvantages though? I thought vibrant users couldn't uninstall apps from the tray (another feature I love, no more waiting for application data to load from the settings screen, which is a major time sink).

I've had the Fascinate since it was released and have tried every home replacement, but they have never lasted more than a couple of hours at the most. TW has great widgets, is very responsive and like someone said, without those backgrounds on the icons, it looks nothing like an i*hone interface.
I'm really looking forward to both the froyo and gingerbread ports that birdman and kaos are working on, but I have to say that I will miss TW.

@chopper.....Hey...is that single clock/date/weather widget on your homescreen?
it looks really good.
I hope un-rooted phone like mine can have one.

I don't use TouchWiz, but I would agree it's actually not bad at all as a launcher. Obviously, the Fascinate version has some problems (no Google Search widget etc.) but the Vibrant version is pretty darn good. I even like TouchWiz's taskbar more than the regular Android style. And some features, like the ability to re-sort homescreens, are fantastic (an almost identical method was implemented later on in ADW).
Some of Samsung's TouchWiz extras, on the other hand, are truly terrible. Like their "SNS Sync", which is slow and buggy and unnecessary when the official Facebook and Twitter apps come with their own, flawless in-app sync capabilities. Yet, inexplicably, TouchWiz disables their built-in sync abilities so you're stuck with Samsung's implementation. That right there is the single biggest reason I can't wait for an AOSP ROM.
P.S. maturate: That clock/weather widget looks like the one from Beautiful Widgets, an app available on the Market. It's just a regular app, doesn't matter if you're rooted.
EDIT: It could also be Fancy Widget, actually. The cloud graphic is identical to Beautiful Widgets', though, so I'm guessing it's that.
I used TouchWiz for a long time before I finally moved in to adw. I actually like the Vibrant version of TouchWiz more and ran it on my fascinate for a while. I posted the apk in the theme app forum. I liked their vertical scrolling app drawer more.

Most of the problems with TW launcher are fixed in gtg's modded version (see i9000/Captivate forums).
Unfortunately, it only works with Froyo.
My launcher of choice is Go Launcher.
Touchwiz for me was way to laggy. It seemed to be in slow motion compared to mine now. Mainly scrolling through screens.

I'm on Kaosinate, and I do miss TouchWiz. I hated it at first, but now, I think it's the best manufacturer UI. It looks iPhone-y, sure, but it has tons of cool little features and animations that make a difference. And it's smooth. Is it even possible to use TW on Kaosinate?

Droid2/DroidX style dock for launcherpro.

I'm trying to convince my cousin that launcherpro will make his phone faster compared to the stock blur launcher. But, he didn't like the way it looked when I first downloaded it, so he made me set blur back. I need a .png file that is the style of the droid x/ droid 2 blur dock. Google turns up nothing. If I can get that image, I'll put launcherpro back on his droid 2 r2d2, and he'll think he's on blur, but I'll be doing him a favor.
Thanks in advance!

I don't have a droid 2/x, I have a samsung epic. The reason I asked, is because I never can make png's right. I can crop a pic of it, but it will have a background on it, and I'm not good at removing that background to be invisible. Figured someone with the device would do it for me.

Hey everyone, sorry to be off topic, but I'm doing a power point presentation on rooting and unlocking bootloaders, I have a question.
On the Droid X, can you change the apps in the app drawer? I know it comes with phone on the left, app drawer in the middle, and browser on the right. Can you change these to different apps and can you add more than just 2 apps + appdrawer to this motoblur dock? Thanks!

Something else to consider; ADW Launcher does allow you to change the size of the dock icons. They go from pretty tiny to absurdly large, with everything in between.
On a completely unrelated note...why would a 10 year old kid care how fast his phone is? What could he possibly be using it for that you're dedicated to speeding it up for him?

According to Google (whether or not you want to believe it is another story), the Nexus phones will still be a contest for developers. Just because Google owns Motorola doesn't (supposedly) guarantee that Motorola will be the exclusive Nexus manufacturer.
I really hope this is true, because I am sure this is a major thing manufacturers push for. They may not sell as well as some of the other phones out there, but they get a ton of clout and the developers are very quick to stand behind them. Anything that challenges companies to try to one-up each other is a great thing in my book. That is what drives innovation.
Pictures don't always do an item justice
The N1 is no looker when seeing it online--which i am reminded of everytime I download MIUI from their Rom page
But, in my hand, it looks and feels great-------
i always thought the N1 looked better in photos, in hand the frame is too big and the colour is not to my liking, the images show a more darker black/brown
IMO, the supposed design look hideous but i like the software though, colorful, eye catching definitely except for the damn home menu and back buttons. WHERE IS THE F*ING SEARCH BUTTON! >.< i know it's weird but i am one of a few people who uses it a alot. on my n1 the search buttons serves as quick autorotate on/off and search function as well. Another biggest thing, doesnt that phone in the photo looks 4:3 rather than 16:9 to you guys?
I no longer think Nexus is ugly. The new picture shows aluminium type of edge around the phone. The first leak of the pics prob preliminary. I likes the new pics by modoco.

you're right, but it will win any usefulness-contest among any Androidphone with its trackball

I'm leaning and upgrade on the 16th. Been wanting the s2 but glad I've waited. The vibes been a work horse only bricking on me that 1 time I think because of CM6.5.

Not for me. What exactly is it that is turning people off from the design? Quite a few people have said that. I find it really attractive. The curves and all.

I'm turned off by the size, and TouchWiz. So much so that I didn't regret springing for the One S after seeing it. But not having a removable battery is really bugging me, so I'm considering it for the first time. Not to mention HTC pulled a fast one about unlocking the bootloader. Sure, they'll unlock it, but you still have S-on, and they won't change that. That's a huge advantage to the Samsungs. They don't lock anything. Might give the HOS to the wife if I can bring myself to get the GS3...but the size really bugs me. I need to see it in person to decide.

The size really won't get less. I honestly hope it does not get bigger than this, because after this it should just be classified as something along the lines of the Galaxy Note, which is huge for a phone.
Touchwiz, I don't get why people hate it so much, is it just that they hate the manufacturer modifying the look, or is it just touchwiz?
I have loved Touchwiz since the first day. Their music app is superior and has more eye candy than any other music player I've seen (not too many options like poweramp etc. though) I do agree they theme it too much, but after all it is all eyecandy and don't tell me that once your on XDA that you won't flash a custom rom on your phone.
Samsung phones are where all the developers flock. You can call me a Samsung fanboy
Just curious, how big is the Htc One S?
Mind taking a pic of the phone with your hand next to it or something like that? I thought GS3 and the one series were all the same size.
The One X is close to the GS3, the S is just a little longer/taller than the Vibrant, 1/4" maybe, and damn near almost identical in width. And just a c-hair thinner. I'll post some photos tomorrow (technically today, I guess ).
Btw, your cwm flashable that's on the dl worked perfectly, thanks . 48gb never felt so free.
Now ask yourself, did I really just read that? Yes you did.
Personally I think this phone is great looks amazing will most likely perform great. I'd go with the white one I think the color blue they picked gives it that prepaid phone look

Oh yeah, what I don't like about TouchWiz is the candy-like backgrounds on the icons, and it tries too hard to be iOS. There's some advantages, but for the most part I feel its mostly fluff wasting valuable resources. ICS Holo theme is gorgeous, no need to play with it, unless you improve upon it with tweaks like Team Kang did with AOKP.

I agree, for some it may be a bit "cartoon" type of look, but its just hurtful to say it looks anything like iOS
Showing them together with the GS's app drawer open would be more representative of what I'm taking about. Obviously iOS on the iPhone doesn't have a "desk top" home; that would be to handy and admitting Android is better. Wait, they admitted that when they put a status bar in that could be pulled down for notifications.
I don't like the dock layout in TouchWiz, or that it can't be modified (maybe changed this time?), and the app drawer looks like a clown puked up a bunch of candy, just like the iPhone. But like you said, stock ROM doesn't have much chance of staying on the thing anyway. So it boils down to whether I can fit it in my pocket, and don't look like an idiot holding a VCR to my face when making calls (sorry Note users, I'm looking at you). And the cherry on top would be if app devs started seriously optimizing for quad core CPUs before the GS4 drops in 6 months.

I can't really choose between the three. Although, the "white" on the Samsung seems better. Not sure why, but my One X seems a bit reddish.
Wow, Note is bigger than I first thought. Could I trouble you to do a picture of all of them with the same wallpaper as the One X? Mainly as a comparison between SAMOLED and SLCD, or whatever the One X has. You don't have to, but it would be nice. Thanks.
*EDIT* Either the One X wallpaper or the Notes wallpaper.

This the best I can get. It's really hard to see the difference on picture, but all really looks to me personally.
Here's another one, and just for kicks added the iPhone 4 for size comparison.

Well I guess I'll have to settle for the Incredible. Wish I could have One X on Verizon.
The S III screen is so dim and has so many problems. Its color is awful. Most of all it's just plain dim. Half the brightness of a One X. No contest there, that is an objective fact. Then there are the tints, ink marks, the Pentile jaggedness, ugh. And the BURN IN that comes later. A nightmare. I really, really wanted to get an S III but I can't see myself straining to look at it outside or deal with ink marks.
I wish S III had the One X screen. Oh man, I wish.
To hold on to my data I will have to have a puny little Incredible. I also hate Sense already and the stupid multitasking button. Settings button would be so much nicer, with long hold on home for multitask.
Are there any other good S4 phones with LCD from VZ? I started looking at the Rezound, but it just seems like such an old phone...but since it's so cheap maybe I'll grab the Rezound and then wait for another phone next year to get off contract.

I've been using sammys samoled screens for years now and have yet to incur any burn in.
Edit: note burn in is definitely possible and I could see this being a factor in your choice, just saying it hasn't been a problem for me. Even with gps use and obviously the screen is on for extensive periods of time, no burn. Although I have heard others, specifically those using gps regularly getting burn in.
Edit2: I do love the one x screen though, traded my girl the one x for her SGSIII and I'm still in awe of the screen.

Hi!
It does appear that the HTC One X seems a tad reddish. I had the HTC One S phone (returned it for the SG3) and found the screen to be fairly bright and the whites looked really white. Would you say that is the case for the SG3 phone that is shown in your photograph? By the way, that is a great photograph you took of all three phones side by side!
