I'm having a few problems with my Fascinate, wondering if my PRL is updated its 52631 ? Can anyone else confirm if this is their current PRL too? goto Settings > About Phone > Status > (PRL here) thanks ;)

Hi, In the Dumb Questions category... My Fascinate came (used) without the charger. I have been using a usb-to-micro-usb cable, which I plug either to my computer or to a USB charger that is plugged into a powerstrip. Here's my question: Is there a reason to buy the official charger? What...

How come every time I send a text message (I'm using Chomp, but it's happened with other clients) to multiple recipients, if they reply, everyone on the original recipient list sees it? Sometimes I want to send the same picture to a bunch of people, but their replies shouldn't be visible to...

Verizon sending me a Droid X2 to replace my 2nd fascinate replacement(thats 3 phones in total) Each time I install less and less and the symptoms are always different, one froze all the time, one restarted all the time, now the latest freezes, and wont let any buttons work until battery is...

Hi Everyone, I am new to the Android Forum so I'll apologize if this subject has already been discussed. I have a Samsung Fascinate SCH-1500 with Verizon and I was just given a BlueAnt Q2 Bluetooth headset. I am trying to figure out how to use voice commands so I can simply say "Call Joe...

Stock-i500-VZW-System.tar.md5 I can not find a link that works anymore, anywhere. Help would be appreciated.

Hi, I travel a lot by bike and public transit, so risk running out of juice on my Fascinate, with no outlet around to recharge it. What do you think would be the most convenient/least hassle to carry around: A spare 1500mah battery; or a pocket battery charger? What happens when you take the...

Hi folks. I'm new here. I tried to search to see if this issue had been posted before, but my computer locked up. Grrr....I guess that's another issue I need to deal with. In any event, has anyone had trouble with their Fascinate losing complete power when the flash is enabled when using the...

OK, so it's time to update your phone. Firmware version is 2.3.5 as of 1/1/2012 And it will take multiple updates to get you there if you haven't been updating. So find a comfortable place with good reception and a fully charged battery or charger plugged in (don't want to be halfway through an...

My Fascinate balked at the 2.2 OTA update a couple of three times, and eventually it just stopped asking me. It's working just fine, except I can't get Flash modules in web pages. *shrug* Is there something I'm missing by not seeing if I can get into 2.3? I know a couple of people who got...

My phone has been unable to connect to a PC through USB for months now, after trying multiple USB cords and computers, I believe the problem may be the USB port on the phone itself. The Verizon rep said if it is the port the phone can be replaced under warranty, but the warranty will expire...

Hello I have a verizon samsung fascinate. I however am not on verizon's service for cellphone usage. I had the regular 2.1-update software on my phone originally. I wanted the android 2.2 on my phone but could not get it...i found the android 2.2 ZIP file..put it on my phone in which it did...

I've been on my Fascinate for about 2 months and had it rooted but went back to stock to get the GB update. Is there a terminology guide for going from an HTC device to a Samsung. In general they seem a lot different as far as the internals go. It looks like the Samsung has to deal with...

A couple days ago I was using my Samsung - Fascinate to make an outgoing phone call while driving. I had the phone up to my ear and could hear the phone ringing. As soon as the person I was calling picked up there was a very loud electrical shock noise. It was so loud that I threw the phone...

I got an iphone but decided to root my old fascinate just for kicks. Done. Now I'd like to know if theres anything cool I can do. I'll probably just use it for gps now but figured I'd ask the pros anyway. Plus my wife still uses the fascinate so my phone serves as somewhat of a test environment

I have the Galaxy Nexus and would like to use Google Talk to message my wife's Fascinate because it uses data and doesn't count towards our 250 SMS message limit per month. The problem is the Talk app isn't on the Fascinate and it doesn't come up in the Market as a separate app. Is there a...

Wondering if there is anyway to use the regular phone pad instead of a whole keyboard on this phone. I cant figure out how to change it. Is there an ap, something on the settings or is it just not possible on this phone? Thanks!

Hi guys, I have the Telus Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate 4G (SGH-T959P) with the latest Android update available (gingerbread.ptlkh2). I have a few apps installed but not many at all. My problem right now is that on occasion, my dialer and contact list will crash without warning and gives no...

Hi, I'm kinda new to this site, and i joined because i have a couple of questions! First, can you make folders on the fascinate like apple phones can? Also, when is the next update? I've heard lots of talk about that. Thank you.;)

I have a rooted Samsung Fascinate phone. I previously used for a wireless hotspot. I just got a new phone but not going to root. My question is can I still use as hotspot without the service? Will it still pick up the signal? Thanks in advance.

Hi, When I try to turn on 3G data on my Fascinate, it never connects. Under settings/about phone/mobile network state it just says "connecting" but never connects, and the "3G" icon never appears in the top right corner of the phone. I've tried toggling the airplane mode, turning off, then...
