Motorola to Unlock Bootloader

Seems that Motorola will unlock the bootloader in the very near future ... ;-)

Read this:

nzweek.com/technology/motorola-will-unlock-bootloader-3573/

or generally this:

google.com/search?hl=en&q=motorola+unlock+bootloader

ps. links in text way due to XDA limitation...
[Defy General] 57op:
Since i've bought my defy only some weeks ago, i've never thought about buying a new mobile.

I wish i had a smartphone endowed with super amoled and wider display, which had a reliable support. That are: HTC Sensation or Galaxy S2 or an LG Optimus Dual...

Anyway, Defy is pretty cool for me ;)
[Defy General] sliverlife:
I better wait a 4 core phone with high screen resolution and 8 megapixels with1080p recording
[Defy General] sferrariba:
Defy 2 and i wanna buy an atrix as well

Enviado desde mi MB525 usando XDA Premium App
[Defy General] rafaccb:
I'd go for an lg optimus 2x.

MB525 using XDA
[Defy General] mague:
For now it looks like the Defy will serve me for quite a while :) I do miss nothing. Even the stock 800 MHz are plenty for me. Sound is good with some good Sony earphones.

If it doesnt die early i ll definetely keep it the next few years. My next one will be something like this :D
[Defy General] defw:
HTC maybe, or Google's.
[Defy General] kapilgreat:
Motorola Atrix !!!!! :)
[Defy General] antukubo:
I'll be using my Defy for another 2~3 years. Then I might change to Defy2 which hopefully is 4 core phone, super-duper amoled high screen resolution, 12MP camera, 5G or 6G coverage, 2GHz speed, 4Gb internal memory, max 128Gb external memory, bla..bla..bla... and last but not least, must be cheaper than Defy! :rolleyes:
[Defy General] yxlyx1:
maybe i guess it's me860
[Defy General] iammodo:
I am moving to the defy from a galaxy s.

Looks so much nice and hope with the smaller screen i might get some battery life.
[Defy General] lu100:
1Ghz dual-core

1G RAM

Maybe used WP7
[Defy General] Flussen:
A phone that can play 1080p videos without converting.
[Defy General] Tw18:
found this on gsmarena which took my interest

http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_xt882-3981.php

other wise I'll just go with the next rugged smartphone ;)
[Defy General] iammodo:
Shame about 512 ram apart from that looks good
[Defy General] Deonix:
Old and New

Next Defy2/+. I only hope it packs Dual Core or 1.4 stock with the possibility to overclock, More RAM and HD Video recording. (Hd port and NFC are welcomed as well). The screen could be better in terms of image quality, maybe 4.0 qHD. And a nice design as the original Defy. Unlocked bootloader with "Sandwich" from start.

Or Nexus 3. But i think in my country it will be overpriced for a while. Maybe the Nokia N9 ( it's sexy you must admit ) as a second device :)) < just kiddin' One pricey smartphone is enough for me. Would like to have 2 Defys in my pockets. Old and New.

Hope Motorola is hearing us out.
[Defy General] :
Just to let you know, Motorola destroyed the battery life in Android 2.2.2 update.
[Defy General] :
Thanks for the link. The specs are pretty good I have to admit. One very weak point about it. The 512MB RAM will kill the CPU power in real world, multitasking. My word of advice is, for a new phone don't settle for less than 1GB of RAM, otherwise it would be a bad investment. I cannot emphasis more strongly than that.

I realised 'iammodo' also mentioned about the low memory as well after I replied to your post.
[Defy General] :
I'll buy you the best phone on the market in three years time if you could last that long using your Defy :)
[Defy General] Le_Poilu:
The thing I most like with my Defy is it's compact form factor.

I don't like big phones with such 4.x" screens that I feel hard to handle and dont fit to my pocket :p

So when the time for replacing my defy will come (maybe not before 18month) I will first consider the form factor. A solid design like the Defy will be great (water-resist, etc).

As it'll not be tomorow, I can tell the specs I'll like to have at this time. In general I take something juste below the highest level on the market when I make my choice.

By the way I still don't know if i twill be an android phone or a WP7 one. It'll depends of WP7 evolution.

If I stay on android Ill for sure look for a unlocked and easely moddable phone.
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
LOL, i'll like to see THIS happening!! I'm pretty sure the DEFY can last 3 years!
[Defy General] :
I like the form factor of Defy as well but because there is no enough space between the bottom of the phone and the capacitive buttons I keep touching the Search button accidentally. Atrix has very similar form factor as well, hence the same problem. I will be looking for something bigger next time to make sure the capacitive buttons are not accidentally touched .
[Defy General] Sutitan:
Im not saying this will be my next phone by any stretch, but it definitely has my attention.

Some interesting: GPS, Barometer and Compass. On-screen heart rate and pulse can be monitored in realtime (enabled by ANT+ wireless networking technology)

*Dust proof and water resistant smartphone powered by Android™

*Scratch resistant multi touch screen with wet finger tracking

http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=201815

The wet finger tracking also sounds pretty interesting. Id love to see it work! Cant wait to find it in person. Motorola better be working on a defy 2
[Defy General] :
Thank you. Now Motorola has a serious contender to worry about, Good :)
[Defy General] om4gus:
I found if today.

Xperia Ray.

Great spec like xperia arc, but small and light enough for my small Asian hands.
[Defy General] Sutitan:
Hah! Another SE fan? Ill be honest. In my entire life, ive ONLY owned Sony Ericsson phones. T68i, T300, t610, k700, k750, p800, k800, k850, m600, 2nd k850. I only switched to motorola because SE decided to start making mediocre phones. But they seem to be making somewhat competitive products

I was really surprised to see the Active. Its quite a niche phone. Risky to be honest. the defy looks quite a bit more attractive. Specs seem about par on each. barometer is a nice touch. But to be honest, it has the same problem as every other SE phone. Its nice, but its a little late to the party. The defy has been out for a while and has made a name for itself.
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
serious contender? you've gotta be kidding me...take a look at the specs....only saving feature is the 1Ghz processor and wet tracking.

RAM = Defy 512MB vs SE 320MB

Screen Size = 3.7 vs 3

Resolution = 480x854 vs 320x480

POPMail = yes vs no

Battery = 1500mAh vs 1200mAH

unless the price retails for 60-70% of the Defy, this SE phone is not worth buying. anyone remember the Casio G'zOne Commando? Probably going the same way

dont take me for a fan boy of Motorola. this Defy is my first Motorola phone. I've been a loyal user of Ericsson, and then SE, before i got a Nokia E66 after SE begun making lower built quality phones, or super expensive Walkman series, or Carl Zeiss lens crap...and not much phone. however, price/value of this Defy is the best among all the androids i've surveyed, and this certainly does not let down. xda is making the phone even better with all the custom ROMs.

if you're on xda and you're not on custom ROM, might as well just buy an iphone!
[Defy General] wongwaikiet:
My defy has been in the service center for almost 1 month due to the earpiece failure,I am losing patient. I would only get the Defy+/Defy 2 or whatever IF Motorola improve their after sales service :mad:
[Defy General] antukubo:
LOL! For the past 10 years, I change my phone 3 times only. Nokia - Sony Ericsson - Motorola Defy. On your country, the phone price is maybe a few hundred dollars only but here in my country, is almost 2K! I don't think I can switch to new phone every year....unless...somebody willing to buy me the best phone on the market... :rolleyes:
[Defy General] SWAT AXEL:
i'm going to stick to my defy.

rugged phone is required for ALMOST every situation.

and here in UAE even the people of Iphone holders are getting shocked by the superiour perfomance of my phone , so far i have beated more than 5 Iphones 3 blackberrys including torch and 7 nokia's , what i want more??!!!

1.the iphone needs protect screen which makes the screen respons a bit slower and you don't need it in Defy AT ALL.

2.the silly iphone needs jailbreak in almost app while in android you don't need to root it even.

3.in iphone you still have the bluetooth problem and you need the app celeste app to recieve the file from other devices and once you recieve it you don't know how to locate it , and have to download seperatly filemanager app from the appstore while in motorola it comes preinstalled.

5.if the device droped in the water you don't have any other option left for you, just go and buy another one or you are charged by bad usage for your device and probably they won't fix it for you in the agency , while in defy you still have 30 minutes to find any tool to bring the phone back and save your sim card too.

so defy still is the best of the best of the best no more arguement.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[Defy General] iamnik:
I'm keeping this phone for at least another 2 years, but after that I will definitely get that generation Nexus. I'm not going to deal with a crappy update policy again.
[Defy General] :
Easy tiger, it is only a phone :)
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
if it's only a phone, why the long post about Motorola? :p
[Defy General] :
LOL, I swear it I knew someone would say that and you are that person :p. I was obviously teasing SWAT AXEL. A little bit of sense of humour wouldn't harm.

I'm a man of my word, I would never buy another phone from Motorola. To me there is a lot of ground to complain about Motorola. For one they ruined the user experience of the very good handset, first by late delivery of the update. Second, giving us a buggy and horrible release of Android 2.2. Defy for the money is very good phone hardware wise but the same company made it ruined it by software. That is why I'm doing Motorola the biggest favour by letting them know how things are. If they listened, to horrible people like me, then the rest of people like yourself would enjoy the improvements.
[Defy General] iammodo:
Just use miui of cm7 I have given up on updates from manufactures
[Defy General] om4gus:
I just worried about their battery life. They always use lowest capacity than other, a little better than htc. They make a small phone like x10 mini but the battery life still horrible. I hope they can optimize battery usage like htc do with desire s 30% better than original desire while only add 50mah more capacity.
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
they could have told you, what you buy is what you get. anything else is bonus. i can tell you why i never buy a Motorola phone, and why i later did.

they used to be really good phones, during the StarTac times, but along the way, they probably hired some stupid software R&D fella that has no sense of user friendliness, and they phones went down the drain. Razr is a very well built phone, but let down with stupid clunky UI, whereas Nokia and SE are so easy to use.

then a great little thing called Android came along, and with it, Motorola fortunes came back, cos with a good phone and price, i'm totally not bothered with all the crap that Motorola software designer put in. i have to admit, if the bootloader is unlocked, this will easily be the best thing ever for Defy, but you can't expect too much of a good thing. heck, i'm happy running CM7 for the next 2-3 years even, but i'm pretty sure with all the hardworking and wonderful devs of xda, i'm sure my phone can at least enjoy ice cream sandwich, and maybe beyond....but that's hoping too much!

btw, i heard the someone took a little pill and entered the M-Atrix. It's unlocked!!
[Defy General] thenext1:
I'll probably get a wp7 phone as my next phone.

I'm tired of android's lagginess and extreme lack of finition (in the UI, in the skin, etc...)

Or else, a phone with official updates like Nexus.

Last choice, another motorola.. no korean/taiwanese brands plz
[Defy General] a6493370:
maybe a htc phone

maybe a htc android phone

i like htc sense
[Defy General] fire159:
now i use xt720 and defy

i hope motorola make defy 2

and im waiting for atrix unlock in iran

hope that buy one atrix soon

anyway photon - droid bionic and xt882 are awsome

but it seems they are not global

i hope motorola ship all new hight end smartphone around the world faster and faster .
[Defy General] anti-virus:
Defy+ then maybe Nokia N9, hope it attracts lots of devs.
[Defy General] mishko:
Think I'm going back to S.E. after my Defy has done it's duty. Probably the upcoming S.E Active. http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/overview/xperia-active?cc=se&lc=sv
[Defy General] nutzu4ever:
Motorola Bullet, Nexus 3, Nokia N9 or another Galaxy-family smartphone :D
[Defy General] shorty66:
I think apart from the barometer the SE Active is a step back from the Defy. The defys hardware is better, especially the screen.

The SE active has a lanyard attachment which i miss a lot on my defy though. But thats nothing justifying a new phone.

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=2965&id2=2602
[Defy General] ragzy:
Nope, wrong, the Xperia active will have 512MB RAM...

As screen size goes down, I guess they need to decrease the resolution too, otherwise you make it kind of hard to type etc.

With a smaller screen I guess the battery won't do much difference, although the more powerful processor might drain some juice.

I'd add a more convenient form factor to actives advantage, except for that nasty wristband hole.

To me it would have been better with something similar to neonode N2

(but then again I'm one of the few people who like that design).
[Defy General] vap_66:
I'm waiting to see how the next-generation Defy will be :).
[Defy General] cslucian:
for sure my next phone will be an android phone as well.

Now i have a green lens defy and i would like to see such a big comunity for my next phone wich maybe will still be a motorola one.

cheers
[Defy General] borndead:
Only Motorola!
[Defy General] mishko:
Well, I like the looks better and no locked bootloader...
[Defy General] sukiyaki:
something with +4" screen for sure. and android OS :)
[Defy General] rwells813:
SGS II

[Defy General] keshey:
So here is the list of android phones iv used

Milestone- Loved every aspect of it (pain area - no fm)

Defy- Pain area - slow data connection- it ruins everything

LG O 2x - No complaints just love it. Gorilla glass- HD recording, Divx player, and everything else you could think of

Would you like to have a custom Bootanimation with or without sound or just a custom bootup sound

on your new Android sense 3.0 HD2 rom ,would you like it even more in a cwm flashable zip

if the answer is yes, here is what you do

that will work on AngelDeaths Kingdom sense 3.0 rom and on Dungphps Kingdom sense 3.0 rom

and also on Dereks HTC Sense 3.0 rom.........

also if you have a 480x800 pic you would like as a first splash screen the one right after you turn on your phone

[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
at even the highest setting, its low on my phone. but what i've found out is that the speaker is capable of a very loud sound, but is locked by the software for the highest it can go. what i am talking about is , like for google navigation, turn the volume to the highest setting, and you can see that voice guidance is extremely loud. but for all other things on the phone, its low. so a custom rom would have to increase this setting for everything to be loud, not just voice guidance on google navigation.
[HTC Sensation] karnovaran:
It's definitely not a good speaker, but check out an app called Equalizer to boost your levels.
