I have a mesmerize that i have flashed with fascinate software using odin i dont see why this wouldnt work for showcase. I have personally done this with my phone many times the hardware is the same as far as i can tell only software is diff any questions id love to help may work may not i dont know but it did for me as well as a few others from mez to fasc
Im going to flash the odin pack for show case ill report back
Tell me why a showcase user would want a US Cellular device or a Verizion Wireless device?
Then they stay on there same cell service I never went to verizon service it doesn't change the carrier just the software so they can use froyo that's that reason why I never used any other carriers just software even tho its flashing a diff radio and modem its still stays on uscc 3g and all and I flashed my buddys fascinate to a mez jusy 5or fun and it worked fine anyone who doesn't understand how this works shouldn't do so

So mesmerbelly,
How many times have you done this and what's your success rate?
I mean if it weren't for the fact that the showcase doesn't have an Odin Flash I'd be all over it, but we don't so this would be a huge risk...
When you flashed to the Fascinate you had 0 problems with your data, text or ANYTHING at all working correctly?
All but mms some times was funny but still worked sometimes tho they would just pour in because they wouldn't come through when should 100 percent success rate

OK so I need some help . . . . . after flashing a new ROM/kernel, I noticed that my network service was insanely poor. I thought it had to do with the new ROM but now after I have tried every which way of flashing and reflashing, I still have the issue. I used Speedtest to see what kind of DL speeds I was getting and I am usually in double digit kbps, 114kbps is my top. My wifes Acclaim regularly gets 600+ to the same server. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I may have screwed up or how I can go about fixing it? Everything works fine in WiFi btw.
Thanks in advance.
Fixed: Somehow I managed to get knocked off my 3G service. Called USCC tech support and they were able to turn it back on for me.

Try updating your prl. Dial *228 when at home and not roaming. Follow the prompts and wait for it to update. Should help and really can't hurt.

I called 911 and it didn't work. The 911 operator didn't have any ideas either.
Well it's starting to look like I should start think about buying a new phone. I have tried everything within my ability and nothing. In a last ditch effort, where could I find a flashable radio that I could use just to make sure it is installed correctly?

Try going back to 2.1 and see how the data is. I somehow got a new prl when I flashed aosp and my girlfriends phone is on an earlier version. We both did the *228 and hers stays at 15108 mine stays at 15110. There is supposed to be a way to manually update our roll back prl. Idk wish I did

I did flash back to 2.1 and the data issues remain. The PRL on my phone and my wife's Acclaim are both 15110, but she gets 3G service and I don't. It also takes over a minute for my 1x service to load after turning off wifi. Also, If I force EVDO, I will get a "3G" banner at the top of the screen, but data does not work and the banner eventually goes away.
Additionally, is it normal to get a Verizon voice when you *228 while roaming? Because that is what I got when I was roaming yesterday. I have to believe that flashing Fascinate software has something to with it.
You could check the efs clear box in odin. I know it has something to do with service. I did that once in my vibrant by mistake. Are you dialing 911 in your home area? It needs to be in a uscc home area same with *228. The efs clear might break your phone worse so.......

Yes, which is why I said do it while NOT roaming. If you completed the *228 while roaming on Verizon you basically connected your phone to their network not USCC's.

I did the *228 at home while not roaming. When I got the Verizon thing while roaming I just hung up I never went through any kind of programming. This was well after things went awry anyways.
I believe this all started a few days ago when I tried flashing the ComaVolt kernel. I got a boot loop and had to do a battery pull. I then flashed dfgas's superclean port and I thought everything was working fine until I got out of wifi the next day and noticed my network service was aweful.

Do you have a belief plan? If so flash it to stock with odin and take the phone in and tell them to give you a new one. Even if you don't have a belief plan I would flash it ti stock and take it in telling them it's defective. worth a shot. Sorry that nothing is working for you bud.

I do have a belief plan but I bought the phone on Ebay a few months back. I was just out for a bit and the banner at the top would go into "3G" but while it was like that I had no network connection. Somehow I pooched my 3G radio I guess. Maybe I'll call tech support and see if they can help. Everyone I have ever talked to over there has been really good so maybe it's worth a try.
Hi I'm new here so i apologize if I have posted this in the wrong spot or if there is already a post about this (i checked and couldnt find one) Anyways, i'm having an issue with my SGS4G that drives me INSANE. It happens often. I will be texting or browsing the internet or something and the green arrow pointing up on the 4G symbol freezes. Once that happens im not able to do anything: send texts, load anything, use internet (pretty much anything consisting of data). I actually experienced the problem trying to load up XDA. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks.

G2x
Modded gingerbread theme
Whitehawks kd1 deodexed with modded green dialer,modded pull down menu (favorite color is green and favorite football team greenbay packers)
Read up on the g2x lately. It is having lots of issues for lots of people. Tmo even pulled it off their website due to problems with alot of those phones. Random reboots, screen issues like light bleeds and discoloring, and other issues. Some are happy with the device with few of these issues others have had multiple exchanges and still report problems.
They say the gingerbread update will fix some of these when it comes out. I doubt it will fix the screen issues tho. That just sounds like an LG hardware defect. Bottom line do some reading before jumping on the LG g2x bandwagon.

My .02 : I am also on gb 2.3.4 hk1 and show poor signal strength, but I can still connect via wifi even when it says I have no signal. So I believe its just an issue of the graphical signal representation not matching the actual signal strength that you have.

No its a actual signal problem becuase i did a wifi speed test and got under 1mb when i usually get 15+ mb so its not a graphics error. But im sure someone will solve it soon.

Hello,
I am a Canadian Rogers customer and I just flashed my Infuse while in West Memphis.
Infused works great, but now it does not indicate that I'm roaming when I am. (If I go back to the stock ROM it shows I am roaming)
It would be fine except that it keeps data on while in the US and that will get very expensive.
Anyone know how I can fix this without going back to stock ROM?
Thanks!

They don't they always never start up, crash, force close, and restart Ive tried about 20. I ment tether
all the modems perform about the same. no reason to flash a new one. its not like the galaxy s with 30 different modems for different carriers in different countries and different hardware. also many of the galaxy s modems were sub standard imho so using a different on could have big benefits. the infuse never had that problem.
now if it's tethering you are after that has zero to do with the modem. there is a file in att roms called tethermanager.apk or some variation of that. just delete it or flash a near stock rom without it, for froyo I recommend infused 1.6 or bionix, for gingerbread I recommend bionix biui build 3. but if you use an iPhone unlimited plan they do packet sniffing and will know and force you to update to a teired data plan.
Pretty much what the guy above me said. Modems do not do as much here anyway. Roms do work very very well, just choose wisely.
