[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qazza:
Sounds very similar to the problem I had with my Mozart. I ended up taking it back to the place I bought and they replaced the main board in it.

Mine is/was a standard ROM by the way.
[Thunderbolt General] jrobinsky:
FYI NEVER EVER EVER EVER do a ESN swap with a non 4g phone, then try to reactivate the TBOLT, it will kill your sim card. I was having problems with losing 3g and crappy signal on my thunderbolt, so i decided to do a esn swap to see if that would help it, as it did on my fascinate. Well everything went smooth with swapping to my old rogue, but then came the problem. I tried to reactivate my tbolt and it said I had to enter my SIM info, well I did and it said it cannot at this time, blah blah. I called customer service and basically she told me that if you swap from a 4g phone to a 3g phone back to a 4g phone it retires your sim card and its essential rendered useless from that point on. So now tomorrow bright and early I need to get up to go to verizon and get a new sim card. Don't make the same mistake that I did.

[Thunderbolt General] mcmillanje:
Call in to do the swap instead of self serve and they should be able to do it without retiring the sim
[Thunderbolt General] jrobinsky:
well its too late, and now i need to get a new one tom..blahh
[Thunderbolt General] djbeanpole:
Thx for advice. Live and learn I guess. Happens daily ;)
[Thunderbolt General] ludionis:
Because 3g devices require tying the MDN/MEID to your acct, vs a 4g device tying the SIM Card to your account, it is a security feature that if you remove the Sim, it will theoretically retire the Sim within 24 hours. Sometimes it can retire quicker than that, but avoiding the switch if possible is ideal...
[Thunderbolt General] techspecs:
This is not the appropriate forum for this. Nothing to do with dev at all.

./adb signature
[Thunderbolt General] CenFlo:
Same thing happened to one of the phones on my account, except we called in to have the 4G > 3G swap done. The SIM card was "retired"

Now I see it could have been fixed, what a pain VZW can make something simple...

[Thunderbolt General] orion421:
He knows better though, shame on you little kitty, shame on you:D
[Thunderbolt General] KidJoe:
Actually, tech support CAN re-enter that SIM into the system... provided you're going to re-use against the same phone number...

I know, because I did this about a month ago... I switched from my TB back to my INC for an hour or two... Tried to switch back via web site.. got error about the SIM, called, CS couldn't help and was clueless, she got Tech Support on, and they re-entered my SIM into the system and my TB was up and running.

Funny... when switching to the INC via the web, it said the sim would become deactivated in 90 days... it was deactivated in under an hour.
[Thunderbolt General] Legacystar:
I thought changing a phones esn was illegal? How does Verizon let you change a phones esn
[Thunderbolt General] rlivin:
I did the same thing because my tb was activated before i got it and my incredible stopped working so i *228 and reactivated it and then it took like an hour for them to get the tb back on when it came. the 4g dept. had to fix it.

It is. But what they are talking about is just changing phones on a line of service. But if you tried to change the ESN ON the device, then you would be breaking the law.

I was wondering how many of Defy users have green lens, so I decided to make this poll. Among my friends nobody has red lensed one... does it depend on production date or region?

Hold the phone in direct sunlight, with the back side up, then tilt it slightly until you can see a hint of colour in the lens of the camera - green or red :).

You have 2ndinit installed havent you? Then you must set boot to normal and not to recovery. Then your preview will be okay.

green lens,

my defy was manufactured in china (tianjin) first half of may 2011

I think that maybe motorola first used green lenses, then red ones, and lately is back to green ones...unfortunately for me ...
[Defy General] zakoo2:
yup, all of my friends have green lens, only my father has red. maybe motorola returned to green so they can sell the defy+ with gb (which doesnt support green lens) and 720p... damn you, motorola... :mad:

[Defy General] gommers1978:
What would you say is wrong with it if you send it RMA? How do you know if you order another one that it allso does not have SOC module? As you can see in the poll most are SOC, you have to be lucky to get a Bayer im afraid.

[Defy General] heavy666:
It's just that I bought mine a couple of days ago, and they say that most of the new defy's are comming with the new module.

I'm not sending it to RMA for now.
[Defy General] gkai:
Nope, it seems that really recent ones are mostly back to SOC. Mine was manufactured end of may, and it got a SOC camera :-(

Looking at the poll, it seems that Defy were SOC only till early 2011, then most were manufactured with Bayer module till April, after that most have again a SOC camera. Maybe because motorola changed the color of the injection-molded frame in the factory lines which used Bayer devices, update the flash image to a Gingerbread motoblur and will sell this "new" product as Defy+ :-(
[Defy General] heavy666:
Where should I look to check when mine was manufactured? and just to know?

And is there any I'm still with 2.2.1 branded rom, I'm looking foward to flash it to a newer and stable rom, maybe the orange one when developers find a way to use it on a soc module device.

xD
[Defy General] chem57guru:

[Defy General] gkai:
have a look at this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15599931&postcount=1

it exaplains how you can get location and time of production from the msn code (product code) which can be found on the original box or below the battery...

regarding waiting for a newer rom than 2.2.1...I fear you may wait a long time if you want an official one. Best hope is that Defy+ is shipped with an unlocked bootloader, and that it can be installed on defy. But I have strong doubts about motorola releasing newer 2.3+ rom for the Defy at this point, when they intend to sell the defy+ as a new phone (when it is just a defy with gingerbread and new frame colors). If you go the unofficial way, a few roms are available already. I installed CM7 and run nightlies 10 after I got my Defy. Even if it is still a release candidate, I like it far better than the 2.2.1 motoblur my Defy came with...
[Defy General] heavy666:
Thx Bro, mine is a jan 2011 but sadly with soc module, btw do you have soc or bayer module? for soc module witch rom do you recommend?

Best Regards. Btw I'm looking forward to see that defy+ hopefully it will come with ice cream sandwitch and we will have its rom!
[Defy General] gkai:
I have a SOC camera like u, unfortunately. As for rom, I have only tried cm 7.1 nightlies, but I find it quite good with some minor tweeks. only thing I hope is that battery life will improve, especially in sleep mode, and better camera...but with a soc can I may be out of luck...

[Defy General] zakoo2:
Yeah, it seems that motorola returned to green lens after a few months, 3 of my friends bought a defy in hungary after may, all of them got one with green lens. Maybe they want us to buy the defy+ if we want gingerbread... :S
[Defy General] Pasi_K:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Yahoo video chat works wonderfully with the back camera. But I don't know how to set it to the front camera. Please help me. Anyone know how I can change to the front camera?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] david84us:
Where did you get yahoo messenger for transformer?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
You need to install both of the following apps.

I know there are a lot of video apps out there that work for the transformer (fring, google talk, etc.). But the problem is not everybody has a honeycomb tablet. My relatives have everything from a viewsonic gtab to galaxy tab to the ipad2. Right now, the only thing that would allow all of these devices to video conference with one another is the yahoo video. Everything else works fine with yahoo video chat except for the damn transformer. I can't seem to figure out a way to switch to the front camera.

Anyway, the following 2 apps you need to install. They will work in all 2.2, 2.3, and 3.0 androids.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kdeguy:
thanks a lot for this.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Don't thank me. Just figure out how to switch to the front camera.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] david84us:
Woot, thanks for the links. Im downloading these right now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lie_ui:
Not sure where you got those apk files, but I want to thank you for sharing this.

I was very certain that yahoo messenger is available and should work in Transformer before I got mine, as I have been using it in my Android phone and love it so much.

Then I got my Transformer and what? Yahoo Messenger was not available in the Market?

Hopefully they will come out with a better one that works/optimized for the Honeycomb!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
Shoot yahoo an email and tell them to incorporate the proper cam switching api.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Come on, guys, I know there are other video apps that work for the transformer, but do you honestly expect all your relatives to have a transformer? The yahoo messenger video is the only one that allows all tablets to talk with each other, including the ipad 2. Until skype comes along with an android video upgrade, this is the only multi-platform video chat program. Are you guys really going to let this slip?

Please help me figure out how to make this thing work for front camera on the transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] javroch:
This isn't true, both can use fring (though it transmits your video upside down). As well, there is an iPad/iPhone/iOS/Android app called VTok, that will let you talk to other Android/iOS users via Google Talk Video Chat. I'm sure there are other options as well, but those are the best options off the top of my head
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Um, no. These apps don't work in non-android 3.0. Some of us still use froyo and ginger.

Again, not everyone has a honeycomb tablet. And I'm thinking of video chatting with people with phones, not just tablet owners.

Again, you can't expect everyone to buy a honeycomb tablet.
