I would gladly send you an img backup of my pds but without adb you cannot dd it. (and i dont realy know what would happen if you dd a pds of an another phone? IMEI cloning and so on so it is maybe not possible at all). So if you need an img or a copy of the problematic files i will send you gladly

you should read at least the first post. In second line:

Hello, I'm having problems with 3G and H networks.

I've installed

1. the "defy baseband" for my country argentina

2. the Fix.zip for bands 850 1900 for argentina too

Now it connects to 3G and H, but it does not download anything, the arrow allways goes up, but never down :(

Any ideas what could be blocking my connection??

Thanks!!
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Are your APN settings OK? And if you use Baseband Switcher, you do not flash 3G fix, no need.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
is there some magic file we can put on SDCard to enable ADB or to flash something ??

I also have backups (dd backup) of all my partitions... but cant get access to the device.... i only have RSDLite working :///

I need to check smg file format... and check difference with raw dd output...

userdata /data folder

cache /cache folder

cdrom : cdrom iso with defy drivers (by usb ?)

pds : /pds folder ... hmm dunno exactly what it is, used by ClockWorkMod Recovery

recovery : when you boot with bottom volume button

bpsw : something compressed ??? + Motorola Cert. 4504 4506

sp : like cdt, but 3x Motorola Cert. 4496 4498 (maybe old end of file)

prek : Pre Kernel Interface, which switch to recovery mode, Motorola Cert. 4496 4498

devtree : look like /dev content, Motorola Cert. 4496 4498

devtree_backup, misc, cid, kpanic : empty

mbmloader: checks signature of mbm

mbm: verifies all other signatures before allowing the device to boot.

mbr, ebr : master boot record, extended boot record

cdt: Codegroup Descriptor Table (partition table + the kernel command line + Motorola Cert. 4496 4498)

sp seems to be a copy of cdt

Hi, there is one, but it is for very last hope.

Watch disassembly and do the same, - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uSH1UuEOvI - till 4.42 minute of the clip.

Backup battery shown here.

You need to short-circuit pins shown by blue lines

(short-circuit backup battery's "+" and "-" ) for 10-200 seconds.

Then assembly and try to flash.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Hmmm... no same thing.... i dont have waited 200 seconds... i need clock battery :p

But its flash memory, and could not be erased if there is no power.... are you sure that can works ?
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
i dont think short circuiting that battery will help. Flash is non volatile... Editing the smg-s in sbf wont make the whole sbf unusable?

EDIT: On milestone the recovery is vulnerable. and the can flash any zip after flashing the sbf for vulnerable recovery. With something like that you would be good to.

[Defy Android Development] thiagold:
Whats the advantage of using 2g instead of 3g? Battery only? Smaller data traffic?
[Defy Android Development] xtrmshadow:
Only battery life tbh.

Cause 3G is alot faster,alot more coverage and less ping ,rather than slow,low coverage and high ping 2G.

Respect
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
2g has better coverage than 3g. Other than that youre right

Can annyone approve the absense of the Gingerbread screen fade out animation?

Since update to beta6 its gone on my defy.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Make sure it is enabled in CyanogenMod settings, also make sure animations in spare parts are set to normal. Post back results.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
This is true. But another reason 3G costs so much in battery is the frequency. 3G works at 2100MHz while GSM at 900Mhz and 1800Mhz (in some countries at 1900 or 1700Mhz). Only recently in some countries 3G started operating in 900Mhz too (and 850Mhz, depending the country). The general rule is, the lower the frequency, the less power needed to transmit a signal to long distances.
[Defy Android Development] netrider01:
Thx a lot, after a switch on and switch off animation is back!
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Just after toggle in CM Settings? Or did you set in spare parts too?
[Defy Android Development] ctz556:
Use gps.jordan.so from GB,work well.

maybe you can fix wifi problem.
[Defy Android Development] xtrmshadow:
Not here mate,Movistar in spain has 99.9% covered with 3G/HSDPA,better than 2G (At least here as far as i can see).

Btw Quarx,have ya checked about the 720p and FPS trick i told ya?Could be a dumb thing but worth trying out.

Respect
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
at 2100Mhz or they started using 900Mhz already?
[Defy Android Development] xtrmshadow:
They've started using 900MHz in some places ,but 2100 is still the main one.

Successfully rebuilt a sbf with a nandroid backup system.img which contains bootmenu... flashed with RSDLite.... but Bootloader show me

Can't mount CACHE:recovery/caller

Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log

thanks ofmb, but that dont help me... I know how fixed sbf works... they dont flash cdt and system... i can flash sbf...

I think my /pds partition was erased by CWM Recovery when i made tests for the new version...

Is there a way to use the update.zip in official recovery ? self signed or something like that ?
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
sbf and nandroid images don't even have the same structure...

I searched for that too...but never found something but: it have to be signed with the motorola key. If we would have that, there wasn't a locked bootloader anymore. Sorry mate

Guys, downloading from the market stopped working for me. Download starts but there's no progress. Any idea how to fix it?
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
i had yes, before opening it to "clear" what... hour maybe :p dunno
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
sh*t:-)

i never imagined that hour thing will work... clearing pds the only way of bricking defy other then throwing it out of the window:-(

you have opened it but you have a software issue, i think you should still try to replace it under warranty... in case of software issue it is posible that they may never check if it is opened or not:rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
Does that mean your recent some changes in git may be dangerous?
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
no... i only added stuff like logging or adb start/kill ... in the recovery and some fixes in the bootmenu (but i made many tests this night)

but Cyanogen Recovery 3.x is dangerous... the "Restore" thing which format partition before extracting files.... a "rm -rf" could be more safe... (like upgrade process)
[Defy Android Development] HomerSimpson07:
for me, Assassin's Creed HD is not working properly, it is playable but it seems like its not loading the 3D textures.

i uploaded a screenshot.

has anyone else a similar problem or does anyone know how to fix it?
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
At least we have learned one thing, when the phone is bricked, so long as we have a working bootmenu, don't flash full sbf to break the bootmenu. So that there's still hope to use adb to recover the system.
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
This is a problem with your cracked version. With the correct version and files in SD, game runs perfect.
[Defy Android Development] HomerSimpson07:
okay, it thought that it would be a bug of the Defy.

how did you know that it is a cracked version?^^
[Defy Android Development] peetr_:
Can't mount CACHE is not the problem I have that lines since I've bought Defy. Just because those files are not there and are not created in any point I think. But wiping works.

And someone somewhere wrote, that PDS means something like "Phone Description Security".

After bootmenu came to us, I gave CWM files away from PDS.

Since beta6 reinstalled the removed Google Talk app, I hear the camera focus each time, the phone boots. -Red lens
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:

[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
Because gameloft gives the user the apk he need, so if you are having problem and other play it good, thats the problem.
[Defy Android Development] Ph1b:
We (a few 100 posts earlyer) thought, that it is the reason for the battery-drain.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Yes, I remember. BTW, anyone knows what the real reason was?! Since the battery drain seems fixed.
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
same here.. i just removed the talk.apk and replaced with the old one.. no more camera sound. Plus i dont need video chat
[Defy Android Development] :

by the way, gtalk apk drains battery? how can I uninstall it?

can the miui guys use your fixes for their releases? because It will solve many many things quicker and many people would be encouraged to make roms!
[Defy Android Development] makakam:
Anyone?

I tried installing gapps once again but it didn't help. And yes I hear the camera sound too when rebooting if the newest gapps is installed.

First of all thank you Quarx, I really appreciate your time and effort you put into developing this rom, I'm absolutely loving it.

I just want to confirm I have the battery problem too, when my phone is idle with screen off the battery drains very slow. But when I really start to use my phone it drains really fast. I hope you can fix this bug.

Anyway great work Quarx, keep it up!

Actually I undervolt, my settings are:

25@300

35@600

46@800

And limit to Vsel1 while screen is off, so I don't think this explains the battery drain when actively using the phone.
[Defy Android Development] wout1:
It would have been a possibility. There are so much different reports about battery drain...
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
All these complains off battery...

I'm a relatively heavy user and can manage around 18 to 24 hours on beta 6.

Every android device I have owned has only ever lasted me 24 hours max. Thats HTC Tattoo, HTC Desire, ZTE Blade and Moto Defy. I think people forget that these devices are like mini computers...you wouldnt squeeze 24 hours out of a laptop!

Oh and the reply is always...but my battery life was better on Froyo...well stick to Froyo then? This is beta, unofficial (non moto) and AWESOME. I charge every night how is that a problem? :-)

[Defy Android Development] andrrei22ro:
+1 good point :D
[Defy Android Development] Jaflo:
I agree it is an awesome rom. Also I wasn't complaining about it, I was just sharing my experience with the rom. I will definitely stay on this rom even if it means I have to charge my battery every night now.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
The funny thing is, I never let the phone discharge completely since I moved to CM7 because... I kept experiment with it, or upgrading to the next beta. And the charging it to 100% and deleting battery stats.

If Quarx doesn't release a new beta the coming days, maybe finally I will let it reach a low battery level!

Hi, I tried this fix but GPS position is still off by a block (20-30m) no matter how good of a GPS fix I have. My HTC Magic, in the same spot at the same time reports the correct location. This is not the first time that I see this bug, my GPS behaves in this strange with every Eclair ROM, it works perfectly with any Froyo ROM and again works strangely with CM7 so I think this must be a driver/configuration issue... May be using the GB gps lib will fix it, I'll try tomorrow and come back with the result.

Hey Andrew, you can use the notification power widget "Toggle 2G/3G" under CM7 menu > Interface > Notification power widget to set your network to always use 3G. At the bottom of the Widget buttons selection you can choose the behavior of each button, just set the "Toggle 2G/3G" as you like.

[Defy Android Development] Behemia:
[BUG] Black screen of death :p

Just woke up a little while ago, to find my phone dead ( i had the radio on while i was asleep :p ), so obviously my first step was to put the phone on charge.

About 5 mins later i called someone and the screen immediately went black on the call page (as if it was close to my face, but the phone was still in my hand)

The call went to voicemail so i tried to unlock and nothing, no buttons responsive, plugging or unplugging did nothing :/

Had to battery pull and reboot, and now phone is fine :) Just thought i would let you know about this to see if its fixable or just a rare glitch :D
