Figured as much...only a replacement worked for me...but mine is still under warranty...learned my lesson...stay away from the Hidden menus... they are hidden for a reason...

Maybe time to convert the Fassy to a an android media player...the sound quality with this phone chipset is better than my $200 Cowon J3..especially with CM7/MIUI and the DSP manager app...rocking bass...and ...you can't beat the OLED screen...thats my new life for my fascinate when i eventually upgrade to a newer phone sometime..

I have to ask just to be sure: you're not just looking for the dial codes to get back into the hidden menu, are you?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hesh.monster:
Did some digging and found this

http://www.fanofandroid.com/2011/03/how-to-manually-program-samsung.html

MDN is your 10 digit phone number, MIN should be the same thing.

The SID on the other hand I am not certain on finding that. I have read that you can find it through debug mode if you can switch the device to analog mode but I don't think that will work for newer devices.

If someone is feeling friendly at your local cell shop they may be able to find it for you though.

Just trying to help out, hate to see someone have to ditch a good phone for something silly

Jazz, I have used the dial codes and direct access from the Rom thru TSM parts. I am not well enough versed in debugging with a computer.

Monster, these are instructions to activate a phone. It's the same as dialing *228. This is actually how we used to activate Sprint phones until they came out with the automatic programming. It however won't provision the data programming.

[Defy General] mangiant:
I currently have an Xperia X10, I've had it since it came out in Canada. I've had numerous roms on it etc, I'm currently on stock 2.3.

Anyway, I'm getting frustrated with my carrier, and the phone... lack of touch sensitivity and other issues are driving me crazy.

I've also picked up an EEE Transformer, so I find myself using my phone less and less for "intensive" things. I used to have to use it for email/files/etc at work, but not anymore. I'm thinking now I want a phone that's more "utility" vs "powerhouse".

I'm thinking of getting a Defy. It's $49 on contract, $379 without.

Other options are: Nexus S, or wait (not sure how long) for a Galaxy S2 X (hercules)., but I like the water resistance and toughness of the Defy.

Not sure if the Defy+ is coming to the carrier.

How does the Defy compare to the X10 in terms of speed? I know about the smaller screen etc, but hows the raw performance? Are the Gingerbread ROMs solid?

Thanks in advance.
[Defy General] hackergnome:
A no official gb rom...

Cm and miui rock!

Sent from My Mind using the Brainwaves...
[Defy General] labsin:
In terms of performance a bit better than the x10 (on custom rom's at least) but less screen. Galaxy S2 much better. BUT not water resistant.

The resistant is nice 'in case of' but you can't count on it.

Galaxy s2 t-mobile (hercules) sounds really good, big display and fast hardware. I do think this will be really expansive.
[Defy General] aks.techscience:
The defy is good and will be all u require if u r ready to use custom roms ...but if it were me I'd wait for the defy plus
[Defy General] stefa_vr6:
Well i would go for nexus S. Decent processor and camera, AWESOME display and GPU and of course full google support (after all it`s their phone right?) + pretty good support for it here, on XDA

If you don`t like nexus S, you can go for Defy of course (decent specs + "life proof") but, try to get one with red lens for HD recording.
[Defy General] ryan8r:
Nexus S tbh.
[Defy General] maxiordoqui:
If i were you i would go for an Atrix. The Motorola Atrix is the best phone i used. Excellent touch responsiveness, great 4 inch display (It's nice to read in that screen and the display resolution is enough for all your needs) It's not so expensive, remember it has a Dual Core processor with a Tegra 2 GPU from Nvidia wich will give you better performance and it will response in most of hard use situations as fast as you would need. It also has many accesories such like the Laptop, the multimedia dock, the standard dock and a full size USB keyboard. And that's not all, it has a 1940 mAh battery and also you'll be able to visit overclocking and undervolting thread to speed up your processor and undervolt it to extend its battery life. It come by default with Android Froyo 2.2, not the best option for a high end phone, but it is fully functional and compatible with most of the market's applications. I think it would be the best choice you could make. In a near future it will be updated to Android Gingerbread, wich has new features and better perfomance. Go for it, you won't regret. Galaxy S II is as good as Motorola Atrix, the difference is the display inches, the AMOLED Plus screen, and the CPU's speed. But it doesn't include Tegra 2, and in mine opinion, Motorola is better in quality. You can also lock your Phone using the Fingerprint feature, nice, isn't it? Look for it.
[Defy General] bvbfan:
I have Defy about 5 mounts, it great, i will get it again :p I will not get Atrix, cause a Pentile display (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenTile_matrix_family) on Defy i can play every Tegra game, and NVidia' chip not offers something special, about me. I not buy and Nexus S, not a Samsung fan, but best phone at this time not even Samsung Galaxy S2 or stupid 3D lame, it's LG Optimus Black, such a greatest display i ever saw, NOVA, low-power, great colors so real and dynamic. About me if you wait you will get phone with HQ resolution 1280x720 and new technology, it's will be best, i don't know, but it's your decision, good luck. :rolleyes:

[Defy General] GreG.:
I also change from a X10 (2.3) to a Defy (2.2) two weeks ago... I was looking for an outdoor android phone and was tired to wait for the Xperia active (which will have a low res screen).

I am 90% satisfied by my new Defy... not 100% because of the GPS problem which sometime freeze the phone.

Everything is very reactive, sound is much much better and screnn resolution is the same as the Xperia, so you hae exactly the same "view" as with an Xêria when surfing the net.

I still use my X10, as backup phone or as navigation system, at least as long as i don't find how to fix the Defy GPS.
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
If you are on Stock 2.2, your issue is most likely caused by the VM eating all your memory, causing first the phone to lag like hell, and then rebooting itself.

Go to the Beginners Guide and check out on common problems this "Stock Froyo sometimes lags and/or freezes the phone"

[Thunderbolt General] Runn3rLogic:
Hey guys, any clarification to whether I can have the official Verizon update pushed to my phone if rooted?
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
You can try, depending on your ROM, but I seriously doubt anything you want to happen will come out of that. You might be stuck in a boot loop, it could brick it, it could just screw up all kinds of stuff. VERY bad idea in general. My advice:

Be patient.
[Thunderbolt General] Runn3rLogic:
im still running HTC Mecha.. I just used Revolutionary to root.. and still have everything running good on my stock ROM.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Mecha is the HTC codename for the device, much like the EVO 4G is known as the Supersonic and the Incredible S/Incredible2 as the Vivo/Vivow, respectively.
[Thunderbolt General] Schedonnardus:
just be patient. Usually a workable, root version will be released shortly before or after the OTA goes live. I would not except an OTA on a rooted phone. just keep an eye out on XDA.
[Thunderbolt General] dragonsamus:
Since you're rooted and stock the best thing to do is to wait until they release a version of it so you can install it via recovery like already mentioned. If you accept an OTA update while rooted bad things will most likely occur.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
You will not he able to install an ota if your rooted. This is due to the custom recovery. When the update checks the recovery, it will fail.

any chance of getting this thing to work with an a500?

i'm thinking dual screen tabletry would be pretty dope.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Highly unlikely. Not only would the hardware not know what to do with the connection, the desktop [er, Android] wouldn't either. But of course I don't know for certain.

If you want to try, though... There are other USB monitors out there - it doesn't have to be that one. If you want to try it, do it with smaller, touch-capable, one.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Only compatible with Windows laptops/netbooks.

I would guess if you "could" connect it to a tab, (new Windows tab?) it'd suck power down faster than a milkshake in death valley :D

[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
How else would e.g. a USB flash stick, a HDD or a mouse work? They don't magically work without power.

As https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/USB#USB_2.0 says, USB2.0 provides ~5V current at max 500mA power. That is enough for small devices, but obviously not enough for anything large.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Absolutely, that's what we're saying. How else can you charge your phone? But if you ever noticed, your mobile gets much warmer than usual when charging through USB, and it takes a lot longer.

I'm betting 30-40 minutes max on a charged notebook, less on a netbook.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] ExploreMN:
So I have a work related website I have to use that has an odd issue. I have to "double click" to select certain things. Fine on a computer, but a double tap in the TF's default browser and xScope (I haven't tried others yet) just zooms and un-zooms. Is there any way to double click with any browser for Android that works well on the TF?

I'm trying to get away from needing my laptop at all, but this one website forces me to have to lug around my laptop which sucks...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
Every browser I have ever used on Android has utilized the same double click to zoom function. I think the only way to avoid that issue is to avoid using Android. That said, luckily you do have the option to run Ubuntu on the Transformer, either through chroot or a native install to the internal memory. My suggestion would be to try Ubuntu chroot first to see if you can double click inside of Firefox through a VNC app. If that doesn't work, then you'll have to be a bit more adventurous and try a native install.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lordgodgeneral:
I had a similar instance with a work website doing this as well. I had to talk to jump through some hoops but basically had to talk to the web developer and have them add buttons to accomplish the double click. Took a while explaining to the higher ups, but since they're starting to roll out ipads in the office they saw it would be a good thing to make it tablet friendly.

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

Designed to provide double protection to your Galaxy S2.Outside polycarbonate and inside silicone that comes from the idea that ancient knights wear soft armor beneath metal armor.The outside armor can absorb 60% of the impact,while the inside soft armor can absorb 20%.Special ST finish surface and S/S like texture gives the case an unusual personality and good feeling on hand.2-4 times more friction from the S/S texture makes the case much harder to drop from the user's hand.Choosing different colors for the 2 layers makes your own combination.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanej2006:
Check ebay, not just local but worldwide, theres a chance you may find some from a spares/repairs shop, especially from China.

Theres no guarantee but it's the only place I can think of.

Otherwise look for a seller on ebay who sells spare parts and simply ask him if he can a hold of some speakers for you from a damaged phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chatch:
Hey thanks for the response. I looked on eBay but no dice. After searching and searching, I changed what I waS searching to "xperia play loud speaker" and found them. Problem is, one is on alibaba, which is a buy in bulk directly from the manufacturer where you have to submit a query and, well it just takes forever. And another that once I got to the cart it was all in Arabic.

In any case, I finally found them from a uk store for 8 euros a strip of 10. About to buy them so I'll report in case anyone ever needs them. They are super easy to replace, once you get the glued in factory ones ripped out.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanej2006:
That's great you found them. In some cases it's extremely difficult to find spares/repairs.

Best place is to look online or on ebay.

Otherwise if the worst comes to the worst you may have to send it to the manufacturer to repair.

Glad you managed to find what you wanted, quite cheap too costing you just 8 euros.

Their tiny anyway weighing a few grams and therefore shouldn't be expensive.
