[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bo6o:
Hi,

I bought the Defy+ a few days ago. Rooted it by the German forum way.

Any suggestions on how to install custom recovery(and the way for entering the recovery, please), is debluring reversible(by deleting the added lines in buld.prop) and is it safe to deblur, after creating an acc and logging into motoblur. Which blur apps is safe to delete, having in mind that I want to reverse the deblur some day and update firm(if I'm not with some cool custum rom).

I read about a patch for 720p video rec on the old moto. Where can I find it and will it work on Defy+.

My build number is 4.5.1-134_DFP-823–just for info. And is there a site where I can download official(or not) firmwares, like the one for samsung, and what are they flashed with...

Sorry for the bucket with questions - I'm new to motorola.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fisik:
hey, Im pretty new with Defy too, but a lot of question can answer google (safe apk to delete - in my way I renamed ext. with bak, 720p patch etc).

About reversible - use Titanium backup to backup your phone, after you can restore if something will fail.

About updates im not sure, but in settings - about phone you can try check for updates

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenato:
Hello guys, sorry for my bad english and hope you will understand me. I just took DEFY + and I have this wondering - can anyone say some info about "ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l)" . I am ashamed, but I do not understand hardware. My guideline is that this name of model processor was released as the test that I run of benchmark on Motorola DEFY, which according to the characteristics in the internet has processor TI OMAP 3610 at 800 MHz(is this name is same like ARM v 7...) and again according to characteristics of the internet, the new model DEFY + has TI OMAP 3620 processor with a frequency of 1GHz. I wonder what is the difference between both of it because I got to compare DEFY and DEFY + with this test of benchmark and it shows the same name of the processor to the both of it. So we have doubts that our DEFY + is not with new processor(3620) and there is inside old processor(3610) who is just overclocked ...Can you look yours defy + what is the name of the processor according some test like benchmark...Quadrant..system panel...who has device info for the hardware...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chch:
Thanks.

What so you mean by missing system updates?

Do you mean major updates like Gingerbread or do Motorola actually send out other useful updates?

Or are you referring to getting access to the market?

Could you stop Motorola taking a copy of your contacts once you created an account?

What about the Motorola Market app that gives you access to the Market. Can you use this without giving Motorola your Google Account details?

(which in turn I guess means they take a copy of all your contacts)

Sorry for all the questions but my Defy+ is on it's way and I want to be sure about the initial setup. Cheers

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubjonny:
the market app isnt a moto one its a std app, you need to add your login details otherwise it wont let you download any apps! the motoblur just makes it easier by putting all the google login details on 1 page so you only put it in once at the initial setup. you could always add apptoide or similar, this is an alternative program to search for and install apps.

theres lots of information around here on how to deblur/skip the setup :)

Cheers Rubjohnny.

I have my Defy+ now.

It has bugs ... no File Manager and the File Manager icon launches Quick Office. Can not add the specific (with dialler tab defaulting) dialler to the launch bar (omg). Can add a shortcut on the page thingy but not on the launcher.

I did a factory reset and still the same issues.

Did everyone else's Defy+ come like that?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJ_DnB:
Not at all.

I can open file manager etc.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubjonny:
yeah the file manager is part of quickoffice, and its a load of rubbish. i bin it off and install ES File installer instead. way more features and it just works better. it can map network & ftp drives, explore with root access, backup your apps etc.

not sure on the dialer bug, this works fine for me! just tap and hold the icon you want to replace, then select it in the list that pops up?

I'm on normal defy with walter release of standard 4.5.1-134, android 2.3.4 which i thought was a defy+ rom?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] free2live:
Hey there mate. I have the old Defy and I had the same problem. Just download any file manager from the Market and you'll do your job.

Cheers
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chch:
Thanks for the filemanager replies. I will download something else.

The dialler that appears in the list is the one that defaults to the last tab opened (dialler, recent, contacts, favourites). When you add a dialler icon to a normal page (not the launcher) you can chose the default tab but I can't seem to do this when it is attached to the launcher.

The result is that when it opens it is on the last tab used and I often then need to swap to the dialler tab.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubjonny:
ah yes, i see what you mean! i have contacts on my launcher and that works as expected no matter what you did last time it opens to contacts tab. but dialer as you say opens to whatever tab you last had open which is pretty pointless. maybe there is an App For That:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ts-over-stock-but-still-overshadowed-by-bugs/
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chch:
I see also that the application launcher option can not be swapped. The phone already has a hardware link to applications. Damn Motorola seem to be all about dictating how people should use their phones. Launcher swap time I think.

That requires Root right?

Can you recommend something if the phone is not rooted?

Thanks
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chch:
The alarm clock unlocks the phone (which means that I turn things on aand mess things up in my sleep).

Can anyone please tell me if this is a Defy/Motorola or generic Android issue?

I have a 2.3.5 system version 45.0.1250.MB526.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU

Is possible to create a full backup of this rom, from which I can come back to factory state after custom rom install?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasannavl:
@nfcfx - Yes.

Assuming you've rooted your phone already, open up the adb shell.

mkdir /sdcard/stockbackup

cat /dev/block/boot > /sdcard/stockbackup/boot.img

cat /dev/block/recovery > /sdcard/stockbackup/recovery.img

cat /dev/block/system > /sdcard/stockbackup/system.img

cat /dev/block/mmcblk1p12 > /sdcard/stockbackup/devtree.img

That should do.

Then to copy those files to your computer.

adb pull /sdcard/stockbackup .

Its upto you to keep them safe and secure ;)

Happy Experimenting.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrashBasher:
I was carried away by some people saying on the Cyanogenmod forums that they have installed the mod on their Defy+ and that it was running fine except for the battery problem.

So when I bought the new Defy+ a few days ago (my first Smartphone) I followed the official wiki-guidelines for the regular Defy on Cyanogenmod only to find that the device wouldn't boot anymore.

With a little research I found out that this might be due to the locked bootloader preventing the phone from loading unsigned kernels. After going through lots of forum threads I found that I could still flash an original ROM via the RSDLite tool which I then did. Someone uploaded an .sbf file for the O2 (german provider) defy+ version which I used. Since I am using T-Mobile this is a somewhat weird situation but at least it worked

Anyway, is it somehow possible to install CM7 and at the same time use an official signed Kernel? If so, would someone please be so kind to tell me how or point me in the right direction? I don't want to go through the process again just to find out that the system won't boot after.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasannavl:
CM has it own devtree. Only the latest of the nandroids backup devtree. So, if you backup with a system without a latest nandroid, and then get back to stock with the backup, you'll be stuck on boot.

You need to restore the devtree as well.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasannavl:
Yes. I just flashed my Defy+ with DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-1321 SBF and then installed CM7 nightly from defy-cm.net

Worked perfect. The nightly comes without the kernel. It uses the offical kernel from the SBF. Only battery issue still remains.

Since its the same kernel, will replace libbattd.so and check soon.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasannavl:
Alright, so with the latest nightly with the original Motorola's kernel, patching the libbattd.so makes the battery charge up till 100%.

But it still detects as Li-Ion and only charges till 4170mV.

I guess it must be 4310mV to be correct.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pintero:
Hi,

So Defy+ CM72 Nightlys still have the battery issue present? Too bad..

I then wonder what's the differece between these Nightlys and cm-7.1.0-11 from defy-cm.net.

Just tried the latest cm72-111215.1631 along with 4.5.1-134_DFP-132 sbf with my Defy+ . Battery is 96% and it says Full already with charger connected. I guess calibration wont help here..

How come MSGinger roms know, how to charge Defy pluses and CM based roms dont? Something to do with different kernels!?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasannavl:
When you use a nightly along with the SBF, you're actually using the original kernel. The nightlies do not come with the kernel. Its just the system partition.

And its got something to do with Motorola's framework and/or drivers. MSGinger keeps the Motorola framework and drivers intact.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pintero:
I have messed around with different roms and got to point, where i just don't get it anymore...

I flashed 4.5.1-134_DFP-132 full-sbf, so i know i can't go back to 2.3.4. That seems fine to me..

What i don't get, is why CM7.1 is not working anymore? I can use MSGinger 2.0 and CM7.2 Nightlys but not CM7.1.

When i install update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed.zip from CWM and reboot, i end up with Err A5,70,00,00,23 in bootloader.

I guess it has smth to do with boot.img, which also updates the kernel right?

Is there any way to fix this, and install CM7.1? And most importantly - why is this happening?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skifyr123:
Hi guys!

I got another android phone and are well known with flashing etc. but this phone kinda confuses me.. So for rooting, can I use z4root? How do I get recovery, and do I need to update to a specific stock firmware before flashing? Which is the best most stable ROM avaible for defy +?

Thanks ;)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
Cm7.1 uses the froyo kernel. You're stuck on gb kernel, which is not downgradeable. I think that's why you can't use cm7.1. Or maybe I'm wrong, I'm not sure.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minhab:
I can't turn of Flash when take photograph in Camera setting, it's auto. And when I connect to PC, choose USB Storage my PC display MTP, can't setup driver. If I choose Motorola phone, the PC can connect, how can I solve it ??
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pintero:
Well that makes sense. CM7.1 installs an older kernel, which does not work, since i blew my eFuse.

Seems like flashing 2.3.6 full sbf wasn't such a good idea after all:D

I'm back on MSGinger 2.0 anyway - which seems the better choise for Defy+ for now.

2.1 has too much blur and strange led blinking issue and CM can't charge to 100%.

(and of course camera does not work with CM7.2 nightlys)

Oh, and about that USB Storage issue - usb mass storage was broken on mine with stock rom. Motorola drivers didn't help as well.

I suggest to get rid of stock and try MSGinger roms..

-edit-

And it seems there's some led-button mystery also with MSG2.0. Sometimes LEDS just don't turn on when waking up the screen. It could well be, the occasional blinking problem was related to older kernel and MSG2.1 is also free from it, when using gb kernel..

Is there a fix to the problem where you can not resend an SMS that failed?

My phone gets an icon meaning it failed but I can't choose to resend the message. I can't even chose to copy the text and paste it and resend it. This is really basic phone stuff that the Defy+ fails to have functionality for.

ALSO

I can't copy a phone number from an e-mail sent to me. The Motorola copy logic where you select the start and end always drops some digits off. Again really basic stuff.

Effectively Motorola will only let you copy and paste sometimes.

It is a smart phone but I have to copy details onto paper from an e-mail to use them in another SMS or e-mail.

Put that together with the incredibly stupid and annoying approach to adding numbers to a contact which can make it next to impossible to dial them (they appear as joint contacts rather than a single contact with a number of different contact details) then Motorola really has messed up much of the basics.

On a rainy day I am going to have to manually re-key all my phone numbers to remove the Motorola mess.

Any solutions to the above without flashing a new ROM would be appreciated.

My micro USB slot is a bit off centre and is really tight on every micro cable except the one it came with (almost to the point of being proprietary micro USB). The volume rocker has become a little lose and now rattles.

Went on my first really wet mountain bike ride with the phone in my small riding backpack on the weekend. Everything got wet and I found that the back of the phone opened up in my bag. So much for being water proof if the back opens up.

Between Motoblur, awful contact additions, basic SMS, simple copy and paste and poor build quality Motorola are going to have to create something very impressive in a small size for me to go back to them.

It is still the best smartphone I have ever owned though :)

(after Dopod 810 and Touch Diamond 2)

Edit: ok added Go SMS Pro and I can resend texts (yipee). I can also copy details from texts (yipee).

Obviously I should also get another e-mail app. I should have installed a better contacts app too.

I can see why people give up on this standard crap and apply a custom ROM. I don't use Blurr. I don't use any Motorola icons. I soon will not use any of the Motorola provided apps. Can't believe they waste time developing poor software that I paid for and don't use.

Granted I did the disconnect trick (and am getting 30fps fwiw), but still, everything from how they lined up all the carriers to how much of an improvement it is. Great great job!!

The biggest thing for me is, the entire platform is so -fast- now.

Even for stuff like getting around the phone. It goes to the home screen so much quicker (I knew that beforehand but using it is so nice). The People update area no longer take 30 seconds, it takes 2, if that. Fantastic. And the surfing! IE is blazing fast now. Such a welcome relief. AND there is turn by turn... here in Canada. Local search is still hit and miss but when you do click on directions it takes you there with voice, awesome. And I saw some traffic updates in a test run I did.

I know I was one of the ones saying "don't expect it to Q2 2012", so I am gladly eating my words.

I also know that there is a lot of negativity around here (which is sometimes me), so I wanted to 'positive' it up a bit. Mango is a solid solid step. Although I preferred OneNote when it wasn't purple...
