[Desire HD Accessories] paul c:
I've come to the conclusion that cases are a very personal thing :)

I bought the case-mate pop (silver) at the same time as the case-mate tough.

The silver pop one is in a drawer from day 1, mainly due to the well documented issues the silver variant has with blocking the GPS signal.

Also, because although it's very good looking, I was looking for protection rather than looks.

With this criteria, the Tough case is excellent. Adds a little bit of bulk, I notice on the rare occasions when I take it off. But on the odd occasion that the phone has slipped out of my hands, indoors and once outdoors, no problem whatsoever: the combination of hard outside and shock-absorbing inner silicone layer meant the the phone did not suffer at all. Also, since the front protection is raised a few millimetres above the screen level, the screen is safe.

So in short, the Pop is a good looker, but I wouldn't bet on it to protect your phone in case of even a minor fall.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damascato:
Hi guys,

I successfully managed to root my UK SGS2.

Now system info says:

Baseband version: I9100XXKE4

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513

root@DELL103 #2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7

And here's my questions:

1- how can I now update the phone to new firmware versions?

2- can I still use Kies or will I lose the root or brick the phone?

3- is the version I have installed the last one?

4 basically can anybody give me some "definitions" so that I don't mess up anymore baseband/kernel/firmware/rom concepts?

thanks a lot in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
XWKE7 is latest for now.

You can update using ODIN or KIES. If you install stock ROMs, you will lose root access, but it's easy enough to regain it with CF-Root :)

ROM = PDA = main system software image

RADIO = MODEM = the software used to control the baseband on the phone

SBL = BOOTLOADER = the secondary bootloader used when loading up the phone

CSC = Carrier/Network specific settings and customisations (Carrier Specific Customisations is the abbreviation iirc)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damascato:
So in order to understand what's my latest firmware version I have to look at this?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zsh007spy:
When I connect my HTC Desire through USB cable to my laptop, my laptop wait a while then pop a windows which says USB Device Not Recognised. My device just got the orange light lit up but there is no response other than that i.e. no menu pops up to choose "charge only, disk drive" whatsoever.

It worked just two days ago before I reflash a new ROM (RCMixHD 3.6.1).

During the flash, the SD card was not recognised too so I tried to get it work by using "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" as instructed by one post named "USB brick/rickrolled/b0rked -> FIXED!" on MoDaCo.

But I did not flash the update.zip as required cos my problem was fixed before this step.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myfirstandroid:
Hi, I am new to rooting Android phones. I don't seem to be having a problem with anything except that "most of the time" when I try to move a rom .zip file onto my sd card it unmounts and says file cannot be read from source. It makes me disconnect my phone from the pc and eject and re-insert my sd card. Anyone know what could be causing this issue? I am trying to run cyanogen mod 7. I am currently running ice glacier 1.6 on a mytouch 4g. It did it when I tried to move over ice glacier (when i was stock) and i tried it with different versions until it finally worked.

[Defy General] cloogshizer:
Hey all,

my Defy was stolen so I now have to find a replacement.

After looking at many devices and after comparing their specs I still believe that the Defy is a good buy. The price-performance ratio is just great! I also have to admit that I really liked my Defy and I wish nothing too good to the one who stole it.

However, as all of you know, the locked bootloader really sucks and prevents the Defy from being the legendary device it deserves to be.

Although the efforts of Quarx for bringing CM7 to the Defy are amazing and the leaked GB ROMs (DefyPlus?) ease the pain of being dependent on the goodwill of Motorola to a large extend when it comes to new Android releases, in a few month some of the known problems will arise anew.

So while I'm still a fan of the Defy, looking for alternatives with similar features (e.g. screen resolution, cam, display size) for a similar price brought me to the Ideos X5 (Huawei U8800).

Here is a comparison of both devices from GSMArena:

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3514&idPhone2=3596

The U8800 seems be comparable and does not have a locked bootloader. However, compared to the awesome Defy community (you :D ), the community for the U8800 seems to be much smaller with only a few devs. This is the biggest downside for me.

I now like to have your opinion on this.

TIA,

cloogshizer
[Defy General] nonsense91:
a lot of people bought the defy because of its toughness, if you do not consider that, u8800's advantage over defy would be its "Dolby Mobile sound enhancement" thingie, defy's speaker suck, i think u8800's aesthetics is much better than defy but i think that's just me
[Defy General] bujcri:
I've just replaced my Ideos X5 U8800 with a Defy. U8000 is pretty good, the only thing that kind of bothered me was that it was too big, it's wider and longer than Defy, not much, but noticeable when in the pocket.

They both have the same kind of processor, the U8000 was overclocked stable at 1200 MHz, same like Defy. And the dev. process is aprox. in the same stage for both, none of them have a stable Android 2.3 yet, still U8800 can record 720p, but the quality is not so good.

So, pretty much same phones, but I don't want back my U8800, mostly only because Defy is more compact.
[Defy General] Drizzur Urden:
Do you realy think that defy's speaker sucks? I think it outperforms many many phones.

GPU wise, u8800's adreno 205 has somewhat advantage over defy's PowerVR SGX530.

but if the 'higher' performance is not the biggest deal for you, concider buying the perfect size and robust defy again.
[Defy General] nonsense91:
yeah i do think the speaker sucks, outperforming many many phones doesn't mean it's great, it only means those many many phones also sucks

but if you remove that water filter that would be another story
[Defy General] Drizzur Urden:
if you mean earpiece, I definitly afgree with you. Replaced it with a K850i earpiece anyway.
[Defy General] CSharpHeaven:
U8800 appears to me a descent phone but hardware wise and quality was (Motorola being slow providing updates aside) I would pick Defy. But... You might want to hold on to your cash and save more for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S Plus. Here is the info.

I will avoid picking a dual core CPU for now since Android is not truly optimised for it. The Samsung Galaxy S Plus offers single core 1.4 GHz. Good investment for the next version of Android. Both Defy and U8800 are not a good investment now that half of 2011 is almost over. Defy will be one year old very soon.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xpstyle36:
Hi, I am quite experienced HD2 user and I have been using Android on it right from the start of SD develpopment :D

What it is, is that my companys director/manager base had all been given HD2's a long while ago, and I have been wondering wether to load Android on them, as they all complain about the speed of WinMo, so yesterday I decided to give it a go on one, I flashed the Typoon CM7 mod to the Nand memory of one and it works flawlessly, this is the thing though, I too have a personal HD2 and have the same radio, same Magldr version, same ROM, and the company HD2 runs much better. The main Noticable thing is that when the phone is sent to standby with the power key and then turned back on the screen comes on immidiately and the screen is responsive as soon as you see it, on my HD2 the screen will take about 3 seconds to come on, then another second or 2 for the screen to become responsive so I can unlock it. The company phones also seem generally more responsive than mine, and it's annoying me, as they work so well, better then the DesireHD we have here too, but my own HD2 is slower :( The company phones are sim locked Vodaphone UK handsets and mine is an unlocked pre T-Mobile I believe. I don't see how this could make a difference, but I just wanted to know isf there is something I could do to get my handset up to par with theirs. Is it maby because I have flashed more than them, do I need to do some kind of 'deep clean' of the Nand memory?

Any help would be appreicated.

Thanks. Dane. :)

Hi,

Firstable I just say that my language is french, please be indulgent with me and my english.

I have install the Cyanogen mod7 RC0 on my Motorola Defy. Installation was OK, but during the time I configure my phone I observe that the market is not complete, many applications doesn't appear.

For exemple I can't make the Google Books update, the market says "Application not found". I can't find for example "PES2011", "live365", "mobisle note".

With the official ROM Froyo2.2 I can found this apps. My Defy is not locked for an special apperator. I use Swisscom (Switzerland). My baseband is right configured.

I tried to reinstall the Rom one 2 times (1x RC0, 1x the last Nightly), but it doesn't do anything.

I despair. I want to use this Cyanogen because is better than the official rom.

P.S. Sorry for my approximatly english

I doesn't have this problem with the official ROM (2.1 or 2.2 was all right). I think you have right, I wait for a new fix version.

Yep, the ROM's fingerprint in build.prop file must be wrong.
[Defy General] jeremstyle:
How is it possible that build.prop is wrong or corrupted, I doesn't modify the market or anything on my phone, jsut install the rom and the gapps.

A member on a french forum (frandroid) say that the problem come frome Google. Google has not validate some application for the 2.3 and they also doesn't appear int the market for 2.3 users. Is it possible?
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
install market enabler (available from market) and change it to another country carrier. most stuffs can be gotten from T-Mobile US or Verizon US. certain apps are country specific, so can only be installed/updated for that country
[Defy General] Muznyu:
As far as I know, there are so called protected apps, which are only shown in the Market when an official, approved ROM is used. There were patches for leaked froyo versions to show all the Market items.

As the original posts says the problem is related to CM7, and there's no issue with official ROM. For example I didn't see some applications with Nordic froyo, but now with the official CEE these apps are not hidden anymore.
[Defy General] xatornet:
Same here. I've flashed several Nightlies and nothing... Apps like Quadrant or Milestone overclock aren't showing in Market.

I'm using CM7 on Defy, using as base ROM Nordic 177-005. I'm going to get back to Nordic, just to see if the apps get back into Market.

[Defy General] ollyshaw:
Yes I'm not sure there is much that can be done. Konami are not recognizing the phone's software version and are not letting me download. Switching regions with market enabler, clearing caches, undoing market updates all to no avail.

I know that if I revert to CM_RC0 it works. Also official froyo works. Looks to me that the RC0 and RC1 have some differences in their build.prop files, eg

RC0 v RC1

ro.product.name=MB525_RTNORD v ro.product.name=MB525_RTGB

ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/MB525_RTNORD/umts_jordan/jordan:2.3.4/3.4.2-177/1306766666:user/release-keys v ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/MB525_RTGB/umts_jordan/jordan:2.3.4/3.4.2-179/1309229566:user/release-keys

I'm guessing that this is related to the problem. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

[Defy General] jeremstyle:
Some apps are not available because the android (ROM) must be signed by a producer (ex. HTC, Motorola, Samsung), and the Cyanogen isn't!

For PES and other apps, you can download the installer on google search for example pes.apk but you must buy the game, if you don't do the purchasing you will have an error: "Not valid license" or a message like this.
