Samsung Fascinate : Apps - Facebook/Twitter/Google Finance/Etc Are All Slow And Often Fail Because Of Low Connectivity

Nov 30, 2010

I'm a new VZ Samsung Fascinate user. I got the phone 4 days ago.

I have noticed that my bars are never full. I even compared it with my friend's Nexus One w/ her T-Mobile service and she had 3 bars when I only had 1.

I constantly get zero or 1 and occasionally 2 if lucky. I thought I was in a bad service area but I'm sitting at home where I had full bars before getting this one - same Verizon.

What could be the cause? Do I need to take it to VZ store (I got the phone from BestBuy) and have them take a look?

My apps - Facebook/Twitter/Google Finance/Etc are all slow and often fail because of low connectivity. It's really annoying and I'm not getting full 3G impact on my phone for $30 that I'm paying!

Samsung Fascinate :: How To Get Notifications For Facebook / Twitter?

Oct 3, 2010

I'm not receiving either the notification on the upper left of the screen, or the ringtone. Notifications and the ringtones are setup properly, as I know. The only time I see that there's an update, is when that application is actually opened. This unit is set to update at the minimum.

Samsung Fascinate :: Google Apps On Fascinate

Oct 19, 2010

I am using google apps email for several of my websites. the settings are the same as gmail. I am using IMAP.
I setup my @gmail account and one of my @myprivatedomain.com emails in the gmail app and regular email app on my phone. I like using the gmail app as my email app since it auto syncs and you dont have to open and wait for sync like you do w/ the regular email app.Now I can't setup my @myprivatedomain.com emails in the gmail app. I don't understand on the Adroid phones why email setup is so hard. I had one hell of a time on the X and Inc setting up email. Very buggy and intermittent does anyone know what "your phone may not be provisioned for data services" means?

Samsung Fascinate :: 3G Connectivity For Long Time To Stream

Oct 10, 2010

I just made the switch from Moto Droid to Samsung fascinate and can't say that I'm all that happy with my decision, No froyo, horrible artifact and color hue, 3 hour charge times, a worse benchmark than my old phone. And on top of that it appears to have terrible reception! While using this phone in the same locations that I had zero problems on the droid, I can't stay connected to 3G to save my life. Youtube and Pandora are useless because I'm not able to keep connection long enough to stream. It has also caused the browser to time out pretty regularly.

HTC Eris :: Won't Sync Google / Facebook Or Twitter Accounts

Nov 21, 2010

My Eris won't sync my Google, Facebook, or Twitter accounts. It last did so last Monday, 11/15. I have had emails, messages, tweets, etc. sent to me, but they never sync to my phone, I have to go online to get my Gmail (refreshing within the app does nothing), but refreshing manually from the Facebook and Twitter apps does work. Going into Settings > Accounts & Sync > Sync Now does nothing, and all of the settings here are correct.I've tried rebooting and pulling the battery, but it still does it. Haven't installed anything new recently, since my internal storage is full.

Samsung Fascinate :: Developers To Follow On Twitter For Phone?

Nov 10, 2010

Just traded my Droid x for the fascinate. This screen is amazing and I actually like the smaller feeling.

Anyway the developers working on the X used twitter quite often to show progress and sneak peeks. Is there any specific people to follow for the Fascinate? It was awesome checking twitter to find new posts from a dev pertaining to my Droid x.

Samsung Fascinate :: Phone Slow After Factory Reset

Sep 16, 2010

After having a few quirky things happen with my phone over the past week since I got it (lost time, notifications are intermittment), Verizon suggested that I Factory Reset my Fascinate. So now, not sure I am going crazy, but my phone seems slower. Just unlocking with the puzzle piece has a lag and moving from screen to screen seems to be slower.Should this be possible? I thought it would be the other way around. From what I recall, it was screaming fast before I did the reset. Should I do it again?

Samsung Fascinate :: Launcherpro Setting / Runs Slow On Phone

Nov 17, 2010

I was using the plus version of LP, but it seemed to run pretty slow on my phone. Usually with menu selections (aka widget selection, or app selection when long pressing on the screen). The widgets also didn't update properly etc.I'm curious though is it might of been some advanced settings that I didn't play with. I typically just did an install setup my dock and homescreen, but never touched the advanced settings.Does anyone have some advanced settings they could share? Also my phone isn't rooted, would that cause all the lag with it? Cause honestly TW runs fine.

Samsung Fascinate : Market Loads And Searches Very Slow On WiFi And 3G

Sep 26, 2010

I just got a BOGO with my wife for the Facinate. I switch from a fully rooted/ROMed Incredible. On both our phones, the Market loads and searches VERY slow on WiFi and 3G. My Incrediable loads/searches almost instantly while the Fasinate takes...3, 4, 5,..., 10secs at times. Downloads are slow too.

Android :: Google Finance - App Not Syncing

Oct 27, 2009

According to what I've read (and the warnings you get during installation), the Google Finance app is supposed to pull your portfolio down from the web version of Google Finance. I have my gmail setup (and it works) and my portfolio is under that same username. Nothing gets pulled down though. Any ideas why? I uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing. I just get a screen under portfolios that lets me add stocks by clicking a button.

Samsung Epic 4G :: Massive Battery Drain - Facebook And Twitter / Social Media Widget

Sep 3, 2010

I've had this phone since Tuesday and it's not made it from morning to night one time. I am using it, yes, but I thought that was the point. My usual routine is wake up, check the twitter/facebook feeds, log in and check email, browse a few web pages, and get moving. today, i did all of that and took a walk and listened to a cd for an hour on the doubletwist player. i took a single photo. and made one very short phone call. it is nearly dead. it's been off the hook since 830 and it's only 3. I could do all this minus the music playing part on my blackberry, which was ancient 8830 and i would still have juice by midnight tonight. and it should be noted, blackberry constantly pushed my email--i have k9 set to manual, as i do with the facebook and twitter/social media widget. so that instantaneous access that's supposed to be so useful and exciting--i don't have it.

i've done all the usuals, turned off the bluetooth, the wifi radio, the 4g radio (the whole point of the damn phone), lowered screen brightness to the very lowest number, making it totally useless in bright daylight and i mean completely useless-can't see to answer a damn call), i have the screen lock to 15 seconds. i have the autosyncing off, i have the whole phone crippled, and it's about to die. does anyone have any suggestions? i was using launcher pro, but want to go back to the standard touchwiz--only bummer is i can't swap out the messaging icon for handcent which i installed over the regular msging app--because ppl said it uses less battery drain-- but not sure how to disable the old one. i am using live wallpapers, but again, how much of a drain can they really be overall? i turned off the animations, is this a lemon? will rooting make it better? will the new upcoming os make it better? or is 6 hours of usage all i can expect? srsly, i would like to know, because if that's the case, i will go back to the blackberry. i don't care how fancy the phone is, if you can't use all the fun things without it dying, then what's the point?

Android :: Google Finance And World Indexes

Jun 8, 2010

I was wondering if anyone has found a way to add the major world wide indexes to the Google Finance App? As an example, if I try to add the FTSE100 (.FTSE) to my portfolio, it will show up on the website in my mobile portfolio, but will not show up with my other quotes on the Android App. I know its syncing because it says the portfolio was updated every time I open it. I suppose I could add an ADR, but that does me know good because I want to evaluate the markets from my phone before our markets open. Worse case I will just go to the website, but thats besides the point.

Android :: Google Finance Doing Credit Checks?

Dec 3, 2009

For those who applied to get your payout limit removed, Google Finance required personal information (like SSN) with the understanding that they "may" be performing routine credit history verifications. Does this concern you? I understand each credit check run on you by any institution (bank, mortgage, etc) lowers your credit score. I can't understand how (or why) Google finance needs to do this. Also, does anyone know how often they do these credit checks?

Android :: Launching Google Finance And Display Graph On A Particular Stock

Mar 6, 2010

I would like to do two things within my Android app: Check if the Google Finance app is installed on the device. Should be pretty straight forward, isn't it ? If yes, launch an intent to Open up Google Finance, displaying a graph on a particular Stock. So I also need to pass the stock ticker to Google Finance in some way... but is this even possible? Any other alternative I could use to display Stock Charts (let's say a 5 days intraday chart) on any stock?

Samsung Fascinate :: Want Facebook Widget On LPP?

Oct 20, 2010

So I'm using Launcher Pro Plus. It comes with a full-screen Facebook widget. That shows you the news feed, etc. in the settings of the LP Widget, there are two options.
Facebook Login Update Interval. I had to sign in and stuff to get the widget to work. Did that. Worked fine for a couple of days. Then tonight it's just not working. My interval is set to 15 minutes. Last FB post was at 9:15. It's now 2:08am. I go to the option "Facebook Login" in the settings and I get this:
{"error": {"type": "0AuthException ","message": "Error validating application."}}

Samsung Fascinate :: Facebook Linked Contact Priority

Nov 21, 2010

I want to link a few of my contacts with facebook so that I pull facebook info and get their profile pic. I know how to do this. However, I'd prefer to keep the name I already have for them on my phone. For example: Say I have "Jon" saved on my phone. His facebook profile name is Jon McJonjon. When I link the profiles, now his contact will read Jon McJonjon. I'd prefer to keep the name I previously had for him as his contact name. Any way to prioritize which profile you're linking is the main contact name that shows up under the contacts list?

Samsung Fascinate : Get Full Facebook Listings On Phone?

Sep 13, 2010

The biggest reason I wanted a data phone was so I could check facebook from work (blocked), or while out and about.

When I got the Incredible, I found out that all the Facebook apps do the stupid "Top News" only, and you can't change it to view all the recent new. The only way I could find to get around it was to click on "Full Site" at the bottom of the mobile site page, click on "Most Recent" when the page loaded, then often the link wouldn't actually work but if I hit "refresh" the page would reload with "Most Recent" selected and the most recent posts all listed out. A real pain, but possible.

But when I try the same thing on my Fascinate, I just get a big blank page with no status updates.

Is there any way to view the full, regular, "Most Recent" post list on the Fascinate?
