Samsung Fascinate Voice Announce

I've read through all the posts concerning the announcement of the incoming caller id, but the option for "Speak caller id" is not in my menu under text-to-speech. How can I turn this off? I want my ringtones back!

I am sorry but there is no caller id readout on my phone at that location.

Firefox mobile does not work in Samsung Fascinate, only get a blank screen for any search.

I downloaded Firefox Mobile to my Samsung Fascinate. I had no problem with the download or installation. When I tried to do a search, all I got was a blank screen in the Firefox window. The Samsung Fascinate is set up to run only Bing. It does not like doing Google searches. When I try to force it to do a Google search through the existing Bing browser, I get the search result, but when I go to a site, none of the buttons work. In Firefox Mobile, I just get a blank white box in the Firefox window.

You can continue using nightly builds without uninstalling. Fennec will offer to download a new nightly build whenever one is available.
If you want to switch to a release version of Firefox, then you will need to uninstall the nightly build first. This will reset your history/bookmarks/settings.
We are planning to release Firefox 4 beta 2 for Android later this week, so if you prefer to run an official release then you might to wait a few days and install that one.

My White Samsung Fascinate has issues, can I get it replaced for a different phone?

Okay, I have the White Samsung Fascinate. I bought it from Best Buy back in April, and since then i've had nothing but random problems with it. I've never tried getting it replaced before, but recently it has stopped vibrating altogether, even when in vibrate mode. I factory reset the phone and everything and it still will not work. If I take it to the Verizon Store and they cannot fix the problem can they give me a different phone? I really do not want another Fascinate that will just probably end up giving me more problems in a few months. I also heard that Verizon does not offer replacements for the White Samsung Fascinate, since it was a Best Buy exclusive, and that they will offer you something else. Is that true?

Since you did not by the device from a Retail Verizon Store and has had it over 14 Days the answer would most likely be a no, they will replace it with a referbished Fascinate if you got the insurance plan, other than that it would depend on the rep and manager to do something diffrent but I would not expect a diffrent phone...
Also you may qualify for the early upgrade but this will still mean you have to buy the devicce at contract price and renew contract, but this is only if you qualify and they do not have to offer this as a solution..
Good Luck..

Motorola Droid X or HTC Droid Incredible or Samsung Fascinate or Wait?

Hey Guys,
Im currently an At&t customer and I absolutely hate my service. I went with it for the At&t Unity Family Plans and Rollover, but have since found it sucks. I currently use a Blackjack II. Anyways, my contract just ended and Im looking at buying a new phone soon. I am only considering Verizon due to the reputed network reliability.
At this point I have several options in front of me, and I want you guys opinions on what you think is a good phone for me? I generally consume a few GB of data per month, send 2500 texts or so, and talk a little as well. My primary uses are gaming, multimedia, texting, and web browsing. Size isn't an issue, however I do a LOT of multitasking.
Please tell me which of the following is the best phone for me in your opinion?
Motorola Droid X
HTC Droid Incredible
Samsung Fascinate
In addition, after doing so, do you think its worth it to buy now? Or should I wait a few more months and get the rumoured LTE phones or iPhone thats coming to Verizon in late 2010/early 2011.

I want to point out it is not my intention to ruffle any feathers. I used to considered myself a loyal Verizon customer, but maybe after nine years with any carrier you have seen too much of the true nature of the way they conduct business. In Verizon's case it is my opinion in the last three years particularly they have gone over the line in terms of unfair restrictions and misleading terms and pricing. This has been born out in succesful lawsuits ( http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/10/ny_verizon.html )
( http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory?id=10975100 ) there are more, but you get the idea.
Wicked One regarding Sprint and Verizon Upgrades, I am not sure about that but here is what I understand:
First Off ETF for Sprint is $200 for Verizon it's $350
"Verizon Wireless came under FCC scrutiny in early December after it doubled its ETF for netbooks, smartphones and some feature phones. No official action has been taken on the matter."

RE: Phone Upgrades
As far as I know Verizon does not offer anything at one year, whereas Sprint does. The catch is what the new phone you are buying will cost you at one year into your two year contract. With Verizon my understanding is at 1 year into your 2 year contract, you pay a $20 upgrade fee and then you can get the new phone you want at a 1 year contract price. So if you were upgrading to a Droid Incredible today under these circumstances you would pay $20 + $269 ($369 - $100 rebate) or $280. With Sprint in the case of the EVO or any other plan where you pay more than $65 month you get the two year price after one year so you would be paying $200.
I wish I could say Verizon is the best, but I have found them to be more focused on pinching money out of our pockets, via weazle marketing gimicks, like "Unlimited" plans that are NOT unlimited, or convincing you that you get more when you actually get less or get a paragraph of restrictions in the small print. Verizon has the best coverage, but that does not balance out any more with me. Most of the time, except when I am traveling in rural areas, I think the other cariers will offer similiar service. I am very close to conducting a personal 30 day test.

Touch screen /battery life Samsung Fascinate Galaxy S

Any advice on a (Samsung Fascinate Galaxy S) which has a delayed response to the touch screen. I have had the phone for 4 months and the past 2 or 3 weeks the touch screen has a very delayed reaction when "touched". Also, the battery has to be charged sometimes twice a day. Any advice or resolution to these problems would be welcome.

I would look at the apps your might have installed during those past two week and temporarily remove them and see if that clears it up, it could be some sort of conflict. If not, them a system reset will probably fix this issue you are having, if that doesn't help, then ask for a replacement

Bluetooth peripheral device driver not found-samsung fascinate

I have a samsung fascinate and a brand new dell inspiron laptop. I cannot get these two together via bluetooth. The laptop states the "bluetooth peripheral device driver not found."
Are there any solutions for this?
Thanks!

Sure! Try this: First, make sure you have activated Bluetooth pairing on your Fascinate. You can do this by going to your home screen, select Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Bluetooth. Once Bluetooth is on, have your Fascinate scan for your computer by going to Bluetooth settings > Scan for devices. You might be able to pair them that way, instead of trying to find the phone using your computer.

Sometimes my ipod nano will have a voice announcement of the song and then skip to the next song on the cd and then announce again and skip again over and over again??

Sometimes my ipod nano will have a voice announcement of the name of the song playing after the song starts and then skip to the next song in line and then repeat the announcement and then skip, again and again....

Sounds like VoiceOver has been activated. See this article for instructions on how to turn it off.

Swap number from Chocolate to Samsung Fascinate S

Can I swap my LG Chocolate to my husband's Samsung Fascinate S keep my number? He's gotten a new Samsung Galaxy S 4.

You can replace the phone on your line of service with a different phone. If you switch from a basic phone to a smartphone, you would have to add a data plan. If you switch from a smartphone to a basic phone, you would delete the data plan. Your phone number would not change.

Samsung Fascinate, problems with playing music via USB port on car stereo

Before the update, I could play the music files on my Fascinate via the USB port on my Kenwood stereo, and control basic functions such as skip, pause etc. Now, my stereo does not recognize the device, and cannot read the files. I went to local Verizon store where a sales rep tried to connect it in here new Kia Soul and it didn't recognize the device either. It will play via the AUX jack, but I lose player control and the phone does not charge via the AUX cable. She did a hard reset which did not resolve the problem. We tried one of the other employee's Fascinate in my car, which did not work either.
So, after hoping to be able to stream music via Pandora, Jango etc thru the USB port after the update, now it seems its primary function is for charging.
Also, the ALL SHARE function, which I used to get the music on my phone originally, does not work now.
Anyone else have this issue with music player and USB connection?

txgopher- I have personally never used my Fascinate to listen to music via USB via stereo however, I can see why it would be frustrating for you to no longer be able to do so when it was never an issue prior to the update.
It sounds as though you and the store rep already did some troubleshooting by trying to duplicate the problem with another car, stereo and even doing the final troubleshooting step which is a master reset.
Since you have done all of the necessary troubleshooting steps to no avail, it most definitely appears as though the software update has interfered with that USB connection in some way.
What I have done is forwarded the information you have provided to Samsung in order for them to look into this concern as well as come up with a way to get this resolved.
Please stay tuned because as soon as we hear back from Samsung we will be sure to update this forum with the results/findings.

Can system voice announce time in French if iMac set to English?

I'm wondering if anyone know how to have the system announce the time in another language, say French. if the Computer System is set to English. I can download a French computer voice in Customize of the voice panel of Date and Time but I don't hear it announce the time. When I change to another voice I hear the announcements.

I have Tom, the system voice is set to Sebastian and the time is set to announce on the quarter hour. The computer system is set to English. I find the time announcements in English intrusive but I absolutely need to know the time so I don't get so engrossed in computer work that I don't leave for work on time. As I speak French also and find the Sebastian voice quite soft and soothing I thought it would be a nice thing to have French time announced. I downloaded the voice and it shows up in my list of choices when I choose Customise in the date and time announcements panel. The time announcements work when I choose Alex but when I choose Sebastian no announcemts are forthcoming.

Updates for "palm-top" Samsung Fascinate?

I am using my old Fascinate as a "palm-top". It is only connected to WiFi and not on the Mobile Network (it is NOT being used as a phone in any manner). It was working well as such a device, but needs updates. Unfortunately, it seems to need the Mobile Network running. How can I get it updated without it costing me an arm and a leg? Since support is discontinued, I would hope that acquiring an "update.zip" and other required files is not overly difficult and inexpensive (like some internet forum.?.?.?)..
Any help?
Thanks in advance,
Dean

This did not work for two reasons:
1. My Fascinate does not have Kies Mini on it to begin with and, according to Samsung, is not available for Verizon Fascinates. (Then why do they have a download for it?). Bottom line, I do not already have the "Kies Mode" for my USB connection which is needed to update it. And without that, you cannot load Kies onto it.
2. You can ONLY download an update over the air for a Verizon phone. Even though I don't care if this "phone" has a Verizon monicker or not -- I am using it as a Palm Top, not a phone in any way. I even tried to see if I can make it some other carrier's "phone" just to get it updated, and no avail.
Silly me for looking at this thing as a WiFi Android "platform". What a goofball...
Thanks anyway (and I really appreciate your response, Tidbits!).
