[Defy General] Izak80:
Are there any info on a possible launch of the official Gingerbread update for the Defy (not counting the leaked beta)?
[Defy General] 57op:
Maybe it will be released on Q3 ( by the end of september ).

There's not an official news yet.
[Defy General] racca:
I can confirm the previous gb leaks are for a newer model soon to be released. The only changes are the color, battery and 1ghz CPU.

It's unclear whether or not our old model will get the same update.

Sent from my MB860
[Defy General] K3n H1mur4:
In fact. If you flash the latest leaked GB firmware, you'll see that it shows "MB526" as model number. Maybe it's not a big change (I mean, Droid was A853, and Droid 2 is A955 - that's a huge variation, comparing to MB525 vs MB526), but it's probably a different piece of hardware that the ones we have now.

OR, it could be that they're relabeling the current Defy (red lens) to MB526 to officialize its difference from the old Defy (green lens). But that's just a far guess, based only in what I think.
[Defy General] WIIstpM:
Or.. it may be a big change!

everyone knows Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) isn't it? It has a 1Ghz Processor..

But Samsung released the Samsung Galaxy S Plus (I9001) which has a 1.4GHZ Processor!!

So there might a a great improvement in the new Model, Maybe better screen, etc
[Defy General] racca:
No, it's not the case here. I do have the specs and pics of the new piece. It's intended as a silent (and low cost) replacement of the old MB525.

1GHz OMAP"3620", silver, ~1700mAh and that's about it.
[Defy General] zakoo2:
may i ask where yoh got the specs?

[Defy General] Simplestas:
Huh, silver?!
[Defy General] rachit2588:
WISH RED GUYS GET OFFICIAL 2.3 GINGER:cool:
[Defy General] Izak80:
So maybe we won't get it at all? Seems strange to only offer the Gingerbread update to those who buy a possible brand new version of the Defy.
[Defy General] WIIstpM:
Wow you got the Pics!? :O can you PM me them? XD
[Defy General] viper.:
it seems that this will be more downgrade then upgrade from current Defy.

3620vs 3630..
[Defy General] bihariel:
It will be released this week.........in a parallel universe:D

i think, we will never get gb for defy( at least from carriers), and we do not need it because we have MIUI and CM7 wich are gingerbread 2.3.4.
[Defy General] racca:
Show me one official document that shows Defy is marketed as 3630.

Sent from my MB860
[Defy General] rachit2588:
When you connected to rsd lite in bootloader mode it will detect the cpu signature....and for defy its omap 3630

also there is a link here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=917000
[Defy General] zakoo2:
from where did you get the pics and specs? can you post the pics? and i dont think theres gonna be an update exclusively for red lensed defy. and it would be stupid to come out with a new defy just for gb with higher cpu speed (our omap 3630 can handle 1.2ghz at default...)

sent from my cm7 defy
[Defy General] Simplestas:
Well since you can't prove your words, racca, can you hint at least date when new Defy will be shown?
[Defy General] nepotu:
People stop asking for pictures as you won't get any at the moment. No one is stupid to make them public for obvious reasons (nondisclosure agreements). For sure there will be a new Defy launched by Moto in the future. As for the Gingerbread official update I don't think we will ever see it for Defy. In addition please take a look at the sloppy and slow Froyo upgrade process.
[Defy General] adi4motion:
we may just be lucky if the bootloader will be unlocked on the new defy, maybe it will be compatible with our hardware (and it should be:) )
[Defy General] zakoo2:
why are you so sure there wont be a gb update, there are leaked versions!

sent from my cm7 defy
[Defy General] nepotu:
Defy will be soon an outdated device and Motorola won't be interested in keeping updated an older device, which already served his purpose and generated some revenue, since they will add new ones on their portfolio which should be sold.
[Defy General] Izak80:
No i don't think so. Would be a very strange if they didn't update the current model aswell since there are alot of people who own one.
[Defy General] rachit2588:
hope for the best

Guys can any one guess the full name of the sbf on GB.?? i think we can snatch via rsd servers...

keep guessin and creating full names for our hint we can use previous full sbf names on http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy

[Defy General] nepotu:
My friend you make me laugh. Where were you when they were struggling to offer the Froyo for Defy, while the Gingerbread was on the market for some months already? Really now. Do you think they give a damn about us, the enthusiasts which are eager to have the latest update on the device? Don't you remember how they've always tried to blame someone else for their bad management? How they were pointing fingers to network carries for the delayed updates and so on?
[Defy General] zakoo2:
so you think theyd rather come out with a new - but almost the same - device to have something to install gingerbread on? our device is perfectly capable of running gb, theres no problem there. and since the 2.3.3 kernel supports 4 vsel settings, it can easily be overclocked to 1ghz by default (the omap 3630 can handle up to 1.2ghz). on the other hand, the selling price of the defy keeps decreasing, which could mean a replacement on the market. keep your fingers crossed, guys! lets hope well get gb too!

[Defy General] lycheejet:
Higher volume battery, the only thing I am interested in.:D
[Defy General] nepotu:
My friend you're so innocent. I don't know how old are you but let me tell you something: everything is about profit (money). Besides there is no were mentioned officially by Motorola that Defy has 3630. It was advertised and sold as being equipped with an OMAP3610. So why shouldn't they make some money with a new device which is similar to Defy in many areas but it's advertised as being upgradable to 2.3 and equipped with an 3630 + red lenses camera. Also, please don't underestimate the "power" of marketing. Cheers!;)

If you already own a Defy, no real need to "upgrade". It should be launched in a few weeks with GB/2.3.4, but that's up to further confirmation.

[Defy General] LeopardSurd:
So, this is pure marketing not an real upgrade.

BTW, the task widget in that link works, but it's buggy.

It's not built for Sensation's screen...
[HTC Sensation] kurtmiller89:
alright if i download it how do i in stall it to the phone? i have never done an apk or what ever it is
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
Once you download it you'll need to put in on your memory card. After that you'll need a file manager (install ES file explorer or Astro file manager from the market). Than use the file manager to navigate to the apk on the memory card and start it :)

But you won't like the widget... The buttons are messed up.

Better get something different from the market :)
[HTC Sensation] kurtmiller89:
Hey thanks to all who answered me, sadly i do have to say it did not work the buttons were off center and it was a bit small but when you clicked the add button and then done it would not add a task but thank you for all your help it will help from here on. I am going to try and find another version. MUCH APPRECIATED

Is there any way to modify the apk to align the buttons? I have been messing around with the .xml Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] WorldWide60:
Sorry for bumping an old thread, but want to throw out an offer here rather than starting a new thread. I'd be willing to pay someone if they could get the task widget fixed to run on the Sensation. As stated in the thread, it works but its buggy. If interested, shoot me a PM.

I love that little apk too but sadly not able to use it on my sensation.

However, you can try TO DO LIST WIDGET (by Chrisbailey).

I use to replace Work 2.0. You need to change the default setting a little to make it look like Work. (The settings is very visualized and easy to setup.)

Although its not 100% the same (looks and functions similar enough though).

Hi!

I would like to buy a Defy. I live in Hungary (Europe) and i could buy a Defy from China (it is ME525). I have a question:

Will i be able to use it in Hungary? I have read stories about chinese rom's on MB525 devices what got led problems because of the rom. But can i use MB rom on ME device?

Is there any other problem when i wanna use the chinese device in Europe?

Thank you!
[Defy General] zakoo2:
from what i know the chinese and the european version of defy is not the same hardware-wise, and so are not compatible hardware-wise either. chinese roms make the led permanently fail, and i assume european roms will not tolerate chinese defy either. why dont you simply buy an mb525 like i did? a friend of mine just bought one for 63.000HUF in a box with two years warranty. by the way, szevasz, üdv a fórumon :)
[Defy General] mityokm:

Szerinted?
[Defy General] zakoo2:
hát ahogy gondolod, 35 ezerért nagyon jó vételnek tűnik, de akkor vállalnod kell azt a kockázatot, hogy ha nem kínai szoftvert raksz rá, valamije tönkremegy. Amúgy elvileg a kínai szoftver is nagyon jó, és biztos, hogy van rajta angol nyelv, szóval szerintem különösebb gondod nem lehet azzal (még a gsm frekvenciákat is be tudod állítani egy programmal). de hangsúlyozom, nézz utána alaposan, ha egy mb525 romot akarsz flashelni!
[Defy General] mityokm:
Na ezaz! Pont ez tart vissza, hogy nem is találtam még ME-s romot, ugye itt is mindenkinek MB-s telója van...de az ára meg tényleg nagyon csábító...

Az alap 2.2 mennyire használható ami van hozzá? Érdemes egyáltalán flashelgetni?

Oh Wow......Nice Hungarian Thread.....English please:)

Sent from my Toilet using Motorola DEFY:D
[Defy General] zakoo2:
okay, lets switch back to english, thats why i didnt write in hungarian in the first place :) so yeah, the stock 2.2 is quite usable, but from my experience you don't really see the difference between 2.1 and 2.2, only in benchmarks (coz of jit) and of course flash capability. it definitely is better than stock 2.1 on spica (my friend had one), so you shouldnt worry about that :) i think you should pay that extra money and get a real defy (mb525), so that you wont have any problems flashing and such. and yeah, it is worth flashing the defy, mine is running cm7 (2.3.4), and it is lightyears ahead of any stock fw!
[Defy General] mityokm:
I think it would be better to get the mb525 defy, but that me525 is almost half-prize...

The seller man has wrote if i cant flash a costum rom to the me525, than he pay back my money. The only one problem is, from where can i get costum roms for me525? Does anyone know?

In theory:

Using a costum rom (that is designed for me525) on mb525 will cause the death of led, does it?

BUT!

1. Does it cause any other problem?

2. Does it cause any problem to flashing mb525 rom to me525?
[Defy General] zakoo2:
just fyi, its spelled 'custom' not 'costum' :) yeah, flashing an me525 rom to mb525 kills the led, but dunno about the other way around. anyway, its still risky, i wouldnt go for it, but you know, its your money, you do whatever you want to with it! :)

:) ok, noticed: custom :)

in china, ME525 are authorized commodities in the regular shop. MB525 is authorized commodities .you can buy mb525 in the underground shop.

me525 is more expensive than mb525,but it`s warrantted all over the country.

me525 can`t update CM7 or miui. but you can risk it,maybe it become brick.

maybe you can buy used mb525 in the underground. you can`t distinguish new or second-hand .

so if you want buy a new defy, you should buy me525 in the regular shop .

[HTC EVO 3D] quinxy:
Apologies if this isn't purely a dev question, but developers would be most likely to know the answer and other devs most likely to benefit from the answer.

If your touchscreen no longer works, how can I make a backup? So I don't lose my photos, contacts, and need to reinstall every app/every setting when they give me the replacement phone? I'd temp root and run Titanium Backup but with the touchscreen bad I can't even unlock the phone, let alone navigate the menus in TB.

My Evo 3D touch screen suddenly went crazy yesterday. I try to drag the ring to unlock the phone and the ring just jumps up a bit, wiggles a little, maybe unlocks, but then when I'm on the enter pattern page I can't because it doesn't register my finger properly, it registers touches sort of but won't register finger drags. The phone was working fine, it was plugged into my car's USB charger and audio jack, but right after I disconnected this happened.

(I tried safe mode, tried removing the battery, tried plugging into the normal HTC charger, screen just acts crazy.)

Thanks!

Thanks! I didn't know HTC Sync existed, now downloading and will try that. Will post back when I see what it does and doesn't do, and if it'll work without my screen being usable.

you could use adb shell and copy the important thing to the sdcard if they aren't already there iirc pictures are stored on the sdcard anyway... you can also use adb pull to grab the files and put them on your computer.

pictures are already on your SD card, apps automatically reinstall after android 2.2, and your contacts should sync with Gmail. settings you would have to setup again.

BTW this should be in the Q&A section.
