[Defy General] Evil Disco Guy:
I'm having a constant problem with video errors when using the camcorder on my Defy. It's like white lines coming from the top right of the screen, appearing during fast movement or with a lot of light. I did a quick search but didn't find anything so I'm kinda worried my Defy may be defective. I've embedded a sample video. Watch the top right corner.

After a few more tests I've noticed the problem occurs on the majority of videos but light makes it stands out more (white lines instead of dark lines). This is using the standard VGA mode on the camcorder. The problem is also visible while recording, it isn't something that appears only when playing back.

[Defy General] Evil Disco Guy:
If it helps, my System version is Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.GB. Build number is JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1.

Any help is greatly appreciated, need to find out ASAP so I can figure out if I need to exchange it.
[Defy General] revmatyi:
Look at mine...

look at this. And I cannot help it, dont know what to do.

[Defy General] Z_E_R_O:
I have the same problem while recording at VGA if something black appears in the corner. But there is no problem while recording at CIF. Using the Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.DE rom
[Defy General] Evil Disco Guy:
I'm not finding a problem with CIF either, just VGA. For example using QIK there is no problem at all and that appears to use CIF.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siconic:
I have 2 Samsung Vibrants( t-959 ), and I installed two versions of Bionix, and still, no voodoo! It says something about the kernel not supporting extended sound controls.

Additional Info -

Firmware: 2.2

Baseband: T959UVKB1

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9

Build Number: Bionix-v 1.3.1 By Team Whiskey

Please help... Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
Just try flashing a different kernel instead of a different ROM. Try Overstock or Tiger's Blood and see if that makes a difference.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siconic:
I didnt know you could flash just the kernel! Thats pretty cool... Now how do I do it without messing up? Is there a tutorial, or do you just go into recovery, and install the sip like you would a ROM?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buru898:
Did you go into recovery and enable voodoo and enable it to change your file system?

There are plenty of guides, take a look in the Bible or simply google, "how to flash kernel, vibrant."
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ansleyj44:
Yes.

Here is a link to the kernel I'm using.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967861

My phone can handle the 2.2 version, but I would start out with the 1.4.2 version and see how that treats you.

In case you don't know, flashing through red recovery is done by pushing your power button and selecting Recovery, not by using clockworkmod.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Settai:
You have voodoo, just not voodoo sound or color. Bionix 1.3 uses stock kernels so like others have said you should flash a custom kernel like Overstock. You flash kernels the same way you flash ROMs
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siconic:
Thanks for all the replies! Just to make sure I got this right, I downloaded and put onto the phones SD card Overstock 1.4.2. Now all I have to do is boot to Red Screen recovery, select the zip, and intall... Is this correct, or am I missing a step? I already backed up the stock ROM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
Hence the reason I said to flash Overstock or Tiger's Blood. You can even use Kernel Flasher from the market.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
Correct, my friend. Just let us know if you have any other issues.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siconic:
Thanks again guys! Only problem is I dont see that the Kernel was updated. Oh well, at least everything on Voodoo now works, and some of my apps seem to have a few new features... Plus it is QUICK! I went from 12.86 to 14.74 on linpack!

Looking to buy a Defy, but want to avoid the units manufactured 2010 bacause of the "earpiece-problem".

Is there any way to tell, by the device id/serial number, when a unit is manufactured?
[Defy General] AkkiandDefy:
If the Battery has the serial number BF5X it's good!

following this http://www.android-hilfe.de/motorol...er-hoererlautsprecher-defekt-hilfe-tipps.html depending on this https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/312564#312564,

Defys with BFxx, BTxx or a blue dot next to the number should be good.

And it's not the battery saying BF5X, because this is printed on mine, and I have a ****ed up earpiece

Since i'm stuck in the mighty hell-hole of israel Locations are completely useless to me.

So whenever i try to look at an address from a contact or a calender event, the map is blank and i can't use any other application.

Any ways i can get the bloody thing to stop being the default and switch to gMaps or even Waze?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ill_dawg:
have you tried going into settings->applications->manage apps and clearing the default? if you can't do it through the app manager, you can definitely get rid of it by flashing a rom without locations.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychuil:
It's not set up as default there, so nothing to clear..

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kyrillos13:
Hello to all. I found an sd card speed fix that increases sdcard reading speed!!!

Credits go to brainmaster, for making the script!

How to make it work on galaxy 3!

At first it needs root & busybox...

Download the script, choose the cache size you want between 1024, 2048, 3072, 4096 kb! (Recommended size: 2048kb)

Extract the .zip file you downloaded and put the 77sdcardspeedfix in your sdcard.

Run root explorer and move the file in /system/etc/init.d/ (If there is no init.d folder, create one!). You can also adb push 77sdcardspeedfix /system/etc/init.d/

Run a Terminal Emulator/Adb and type the commands:

adb shell (if you are using Terminal Emulator, skip this command)

su

chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/77sdcardspeedfix

chown 0.0 /system/etc/init.d/77sdcardspeedfix

reboot

After that the phone will reboot. You will see that your sdcard reading speed has increased!

I did it in my 8gb class2 sdcard and the reading speed increased from 2mb/s to 3.7mb/s.

ranadip.bswas tried it too. You can see the results!

Screenshots!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] JackStow:
nice!!

i have a big boost:

before:

write 4.3mbps

read 4.8mbps

after:

write 4.6mbps

read 16.4mbps

i copy the downloaded folder（init.d） to system/etc,and give permission by R.E,but after i reboot ,it seems nothing happens..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] s3th.g3ck9:
Not the whole folder... just push the "77sdcardspeedfix" file.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] shahkam:
Do you think it will work on x10a? I know it isnt for my device but is there any risks you think?

No difference in reading .. used 2048kb one..

So the script is working like a charm. But the question for me now is why the writing speed is so low in general (i'm using a brand new class 10 card).

Doesn't the device allow faster writing?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kyrillos13:
Hm You should have gotten Writing/Reading speed ~10mb/s with a class 10 sdcard! Maybe your sdcard is a fake class 10.... Not sure!

Hmm, hard to say. When I was asking you few day ago if class 4 (kingston from original store) is OK, my r/w speed was around 4.3/4.8 Mb/sec.

After instaling your rom 3.3 was around 2.3/4.5 (with almos empty card) now after sd fix in my case is around 2.5/10.1

Not every Android have /etc/init.d folder and adding this will not work, because in some "config files" theres nothing about that what "init.d" have to do.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jaskiratsingh:
I am one of those who doesnt have init.d folder; hence cannot use this tweak.

For the moment what i did is manually entered 3072 in read_ahead_kb and results are outstanding

Earlier

Write: 1.8 Read: 2.4

After Tweak

Write: 2.4 Read: 19.1

Pictures load very fast in gallery after this tweak. Drawback is it is reverted back after reboot. Definitely need it working on ROM which doesnt have init.d

Waiting for the fix

EDIT 1: I installed the app, set on boot is checked and it is working fine.....Thanks :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hodostamas:
wtf? installed with adb, nothing happend.

Now tried with speed booster app, and the read speed increased: 4MB-->16.1MB

thx for the app. :)

Tested with angry birds (original, installed on SD card)

Loading time: ~half

hmm, set on boot is checked, but after reboot, cache is 128 :( Any idea?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jaskiratsingh:
I am also using stock JPM ROM. When you checked set on boot, did you get superuser access?

If Yes, check in superuser is settings are remembered.

I performed this and it is working fine
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hodostamas:
in superuser, the app is exist. Checked again, apply, reboot.. still 128 :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] drajax:
Try doing this! Open superuser find the app sdbooster & clicking on it opens a notify window and press forget! Close superuser and try running the app it should ask for superuser permission again!
