Hello all!

3 months ago I got my defy unlocked from t-mobile.

I'm in mexico and I want to get my provider specific baseband files, but I'm wondering if it is possible to do it without rooting the phone.

I'm trying to contact some people with defy phones in order to get the correct baseband, but first I need to know if the phone needs to be rooted.

thanks in advanced.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelus47:
Just root you're phone using superoneclick 2.1, then install defy baseband switcher.

Need to root

you do need to root your phone, or... follow the easy instructions from this link

I'm not yet alowed to post links, buto just copy/paste

//smackdroid.blogspot.mx/2012/03/actualiza-tu-motorola-defy-android-23.html[/url]

It's in Spanish, and you'll turn your phone to IUSACELL, TELCEL or MOVISTAR, with the original SBF.

If it works for you dont forget to press the THANKS button...

I'm having trouble downloading the maps for my area with Locations. Everytime I try to, a warning comes up that said something about how some content was not fully downloaded to your device last tie you closed this application. Would you like to continue the download? I click ok to try the download but it just pauses it by itself and the warning comes up again. Anyone know why this is? I'm using the Android Revolution HD rom 3.6.1 by the way.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Chad_Petree:
I'm confused, if the battery it's the same than the one found on the international version then why is the AT&T versión thicker?

Also I was expecting a lower prize for the unlocked version, it's 600 $ , more expensive than the international versión
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ngocdao:
since Americans are fatter than our eastern counterpart$. its only right our phones be a lil chubbier Than theirs too :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
An LTE radio, duh. >_>
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Chad_Petree:
ehmmm the AT&T galaxy s is NOT LTE :(

That one was good hhahahahaha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
According to Samsung, because it has NFC. Also, it's $550.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Longcat14:
I don't think NFC would raise the thickness like that..... LTE, YEAH!

Sent from my phone. :3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
its .4 mm ...... .4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bames:
just a guess but i would assume combo of NFC and additional camera hardware (front facing camera.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Chad_Petree:
I just checked AT&T site and indeed it's 550 $ then why is amazon selling it for 600 $ arent they supossed to sell at lower prices :(

the international version already has a front facing camera :D

I dont think nfc would raise the thickness either, the AT&T sgs 2 is NOT LTE :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] runtohell121:
I'm personally thinking is the NFC chip in the battery. You know how the international version can buy the "extended" 2000 mah battery that requires the back cover change, which makes it slightly thicker than the original size or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
The NFC chip isn't in the battery. The NFC battery is designed so it doesn't block the wireless signal which is why it's different than the international SGS2 battery. The Korean SGS2 is the same thickness as the AT&T SGS2 because it's equipped with NFC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Chad_Petree:
I thought the nfc was in the back cover :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] runtohell121:
Oh, so the chip is actually a component inside the phone? Is the 1650 mah NFC thicker than 1650 mah regular though?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WillEat4F00d:
I personally think this phone is too thin. Having a case on it gives it the perfect thickness to use comfortably.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Chad_Petree:
so the nfc is on the battery, the back cover or ... ? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I think the chip is in the phone but the antenna is in the battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ngocdao:
Whens the last time u saw a euro release identical to us?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WeldingRod:
which case?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Forcepath:
Can't say I agree. I bought a case from ATT and after a day's worth of use, I took it off. The case nearly doubled the thickness of the phone, which defeated the whole purpose of a 'thin phone' to me. Your mileage may vary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WeldingRod:
Some cases may be thinner than others, having said that I have huge hands, so I may actually need a little more thickness to get a grip on the darn thing (not to mention I really do prefer to have something protecting it). Eager to find out which cases actually fit the device though, so much variation with several different sgs2 models coming out it is not easy to find someone officially supporting the att version.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dspradau:
I'm wondering if I've been throttled :/.

Yesterday morning I was updating a few apps on the market and all seemed normal. I was updating a 2MB app in around 5-6 seconds (I'm on 3g CDMA-eHRPD). Then last night I noticed that browsing was going a heck of a lot slower than normal.

This morning a ran a speed test and found out that my download speed was at 107kbps (compared to the 987kbps I tested 2 weeks prior).

What made me curious is the fact that my upload speed is higher then my current download speed (upload is now 258kbps, was 486kbps 2 weeks ago).

Also if I was being throttled wouldn't I receive some sort of notification?

NOTE: All these tests were from the same location.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savagebunny:
Well what's your data usage on your bill so far? Cause it could just be the 3G network taking a crap like it normally does
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keith.mcintyre26:
You aren't being throttled. I'm at a little over 15GB this month and they haven't throttled me.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dspradau:
Hmmm ok. Yeah I am at 5GB this month so it's either the phone or the 3g around here being wonky. I haven't updated my ROM in over a month so I'll do that first and take a drive and see how the service quality is elsewhere.

I have noticed things getting a little faster now. Not like they were, but I hope it is just the service in the area. I live in a semi rural area with big cities 10 miles in both directions.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justavillain:
I noticed that when I had the 906 radio I was getting super slow download but normal upload speeds. Are you on the 906 radio? If so try the 802 one
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dspradau:
Yeah I'm running 802. I don't think I ever went higher. Gotta update the baseband in my signature. I had a lot of issues on this build I am on so I'll wipe and flash the latest of my ROM and see where that goes.

I'm pretty much ruling out throttling because I haven't heard really anyone else with the problem lately.

Install this sucka and enjoy your HULU PLUS account as you should on your device, trouble free.

If you do have trouble with the never-ending buffer, as shown in attached pic, unblock ads via host files.

Just open up Adfree and click revert. And there go you ;] took me a day to figure that out hehe.

Got it to work. The Hulu.apk did not install. If you have super user installed and Titanium working properly then do the following:

Extract the 3 files in Hulu Backup-1.zip to the location of your Titanum back ups and then restore.

I had to use the task killer to kill titanium, it was stuck in the restoring screen. Hulu is working like a charm!

I got it launch the app after using the restore method. However, when I try to watch anything it says buffering and then after a bit it says that I am having network issues eventhough I am connected via my wifi and browsing hulu to find the show I want to watch. Any ideas how to fix this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sockey:
The restore method worked perfect for me also. The buffering is caused by the ad block on your phone. You will need to delete the hosts file in system/etc.

i don't have ad block installed (fresh wipe) and I can concur with the buffering/network issues pop-up.

any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
Hmm fresh wipe of what, data/cache/dalvik? Even if you had adfree before, blocking ads, it would still be blocked without having the app because the host file is in /system so anything short of factory reset/Odin wouldn't change this.

Download again adfree and press revert.

I had a stock hulu apk working with a stock/rooted rom, no such luck after moving to a custom rom.

Is Hulu+ worth it? I'm considering getting it but not to sure yet...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jay2o01:
if you're like me and spend a lot of time at "work" then its worth it. Unfortunately there are still advertisements and the tv series selection isn't all that different from netflix. Current TV shows do show up around a week after airing for the most part. Movies are commercial free but the selection is terrible compared to netflix.

Wifi range has been terrible on this phone. I tried messing with my router settings for a while and thought maybe some phones are better than others but i lose my wifi calling too easily so I installed a wifi analyzer app and compared to my moms galaxy S 4g and my laptop. My network and the half dozen networks around me show the the same relative strengths but minus 20 db on the defy. Near or far g or n open or secured its pretty consistent -20 in comparison for each network i can see. I can get full bars of the wifi icon on defy but only with line of sight to the router.

Is this a known defect? If i return this phone is there a good chance that i'll get another one with bad wifi? I don't think there's too many defys left in the store.

Im running stock rom still so i don't think its a software problem.

The same thing will happen with some Exchange servers. If for some reason you can't connect to Exchange after a bunch of flashes log into the Outlook Web Access (web interface for your email) and go into the Options and delete older entries from the Phone section. My exchange server only allows 10 connections. This was always a problem for me before, switching back and forth between ROMs after performing full wipes.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] affinity121:

There should be a file called htc_bootanimation.zip.

A small observation i have made thus far with running code's Kang

There seems to be alot of bouncing between 3G and H+. Im not sure what the implications are in terms of bat drain or issues, however just somthing i have observed that i do not running a similar OS on my Desire HD.

My area we are not yet H+ however i hold steady at h+ most all the time.

All 4G phones have H+ constant unless they fall on EDGE

Drew
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I know devices typically switch if something is actively going on (an active data session). Are your data transmission arrows lighting up when showing H and nothing when showing 3G? If so, I think this is typical.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Wrong. Phones only use HSPA when transferring data, they idle in vanilla UMTS.

AT&T mangles their frameworks to report everything as H+ even when it's not actually in HSDPA+ mode.

CM7 is just reporting the truth that AT&T's mangled framework hides from you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drewdatrip:
Its bouncing both in and outside of data consumption. I dont find this to be the case Running CM7 or MIUI on my Desire HD
