[Defy Android Development] THBlurism:
Dear friends

After I installed this Rom, I cannot set SMSC, anyone can do that

please help me :confused:

Edited:

I mean. I cannot find the menu of SMSC setting in list, anyone can find that?
[Defy Android Development] scottie1973:
try reading page 1 of the thread...:rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] pprakash:
Just upgraded from Stock Indian Froyo to this one. This is my first GB rom. After first power UP couldn't find my (AirTel) Network. Fixed the problem using Basebandswitcher. Reallying enjoying this ROM and exploring the improvements. Will post the battery life after couple of days here.

Thanks to walter79.

Defy with RED Lens.
[Defy Android Development] scottie1973:
its in messaging..text messages,menu,settings(or atleast i think thats what u want..;))
[Defy Android Development] mindugo:
Could anybody provide more details about this problem? Is it common and do we have to replace battd after flashing DFP 74? My Defy has been on JBoogie3 Blurry Ginger ROM based on leaked 2.3.4-134 for almost 3 months now and I've never had such issues.
[Defy Android Development] Cristi_10:
solved the battd problem.To everyone you need to replace the battd located in system/bin with the one from froyo/cm7 otherwise you risk that your battery be unrecognized by the phone
[Defy Android Development] pprakash:
Is this specific to GREEN or RED lens? Can anyone share the froyo battd here?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Only if you flash your DEFY PLUS with my nandroid backup.
[Defy Android Development] crub55:
I have the same problem with the battery and i use your Nandroid defyplus

I have green led
[Defy Android Development] scottie1973:
red lens here with no battery troubles..:cool:
[Defy Android Development] miscz:
This related to Greenbreadmod as the battery indicator problem appears after flashing it.
[Defy Android Development] THBlurism:
Thanks for your suggestion, but I try that and Messaging setting didnot have SMSC setting too

I try to re-install Rom and find that setting menu, It still loss
[Defy Android Development] tegezan:
I cant find it too... but maybe you can try 3rd party application like go sms..?
[Defy Android Development] saltofx_v:
Eveerything works great here.defy with green lens..thanks walter!!!

At next release can u add multilanguage plz?
[Defy Android Development] rockado:
Battd from CM7 1.5RC is ok too.
[Defy Android Development] chab7:
And where can I find this file?
[Defy Android Development] free2live:
battd from shadow's 2.3.4 - 128 also works :)
[Defy Android Development] free2live:
check "defy wallpaper issue" post by me in defy general you will find a battd there
[Defy Android Development] rockado:
You have to download this ZIP:

http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...wnload RC1.5&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13179154186951

The file battd is in /system/bin folder in this ZIP.
[Defy Android Development] evilinheaven:
There is a specific baseband switcher for this "Defy+"? Or i can use the one we use for regular Defy?

I ask cause couldn't use the Defy multi touch enabler with Defy+...

(Just used the baseband and i think it worked. Let's see what it does with battery life...)

Also a noob question, if i want to restore my CM7 nanodroid full backup, i just need to wipe, restore it and flash a fixed SBF for CM7?

Or do i need to instal the CM7 .zip and google tools .zip all over again?

Thanks for all that made it possible, i'm really enjoing this Defy+ ROM, since i like the facebook blur thing, and it was very buggy in the MS2 ROM.
[Defy Android Development] chab7:
Ohhh, this way I finally found on my system too. Thanks
[Defy Android Development] zmesler:
I see a lot of you guys ask for BATTD but no luck :) there it is:

[Defy Android Development] confusedfella:
Sounds sweet, and I loved the social apps of motoblur, but the old motoblur roms made the phone extremely laggy. I hope this is better.

After flashing this rom, how do I get back to CM7 if I don't like it?

What is that issue with the search LED not working?

Thanks,
[Defy Android Development] uriel_zo:
sorry for the question to this room you can change the theme?

I find themes for this room?
[Defy Android Development] grannyrogers:
What 'room' you talking about? :-)
[Defy Android Development] confusedfella:
No.

but You can use themes if you use Go ex launcher.
[Defy Android Development] NITRO_100:
My phone reboots when recording in HD. Anyone have this, or know how to resolve this ?
[Defy Android Development] ezantera:
Ok, I cannot look at this thread in peace, I have to install this ROM. Just before I do so, I must ask about battery.

Does battery last as long as on froyo? Worst? Maybe better? :)

I was on CM7 and battery was definitely bad even with downclocking etc...
[Defy Android Development] scottie1973:
battery in my case is easily on par with froyo,i get 2 days with moderate use.:D
[Defy Android Development] confusedfella:
How do I get back to CM7 after installing this?
[Defy Android Development] on2315:
it seems this rom's blur alarm doesn't work.....
[Defy Android Development] veimus:
ok i flash your ROM on my DEFY + (MB526) from what source I should use "battd" to be suitable to the capacity of my battery (1700mAh) ?

Before the flash I had about 67% battery after almost 80% .. So probably there is something wrong?
[Defy Android Development] pprakash:
Mine is currently reading 47% after 32 hrs of moderate usage with Hourly Exchange sync, and push update of Facebook, Gmail, LinkedIn, Picasa. With stock Froyo battery never lasted more than 30 hrs.
[Defy Android Development] grannyrogers:
Since you are using defy + u should use battd from defy+ rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ms79723:
I'm just wondering here...because with all my other phones (well, other android phones. I really really liked the HTC Arrive. Don't sleep on WP7.5 folks) I would use them for a little bit and then have that urge to go out and buy another phone...but with this phone, that sht is gone. I don't even want to root the damn thing. I don't want to add any custom sht or anything. It's all perfect out of the box (for me, I know some of you guys are having issues and I hope y'all can get that sorted out ASAP).

I seriously think that this phone is the best thing out there. I'm at 20.5 hours unplugged with 25% battery left...surprisingly, my phone idle is at 5%...Display, Internet, and music are the highest...this phone lasted a night at my job which consists of heavy 3G use and music playing for about 4 hours straight. Samsung is legit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
The only phone I'm watching is the prime. That's only if it comes to Sprint though. Don't have Verizon where I live. Other than that I feel the same way.

Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HotInEER:
I agree. This is hands down the best phone I have ever had. I can see myself using this for 2 years and being happy. Even with the prime supposedly coming out, we don't know if sprint is getting it anyway. The only upgrade I could see would be the HD screen it's suppose to have, but, that would not make me jump out and buy it. Most of the upcoming things they are talking about, quad core and things like that is overkill for a phone IMHO. I would rather they focus on battery improvements and gpu upgrades, and just making the android os run as smooth as possible, better music player, and making sure android apps are properly made and not battery hogs.

I have no interest in rooting this phone, I might once it get's better, I miss some rooted apps, titanium backup, cache cleaner, and free tethering, but I don't need to root and I never thought I would say that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] captblaze:
i have 3 upgrades between now and next september, so i can guarantee i will be trying the next few devices regardless. i do think the et4g is the best overall device i have ever owned, but still has a crappy radio, which for all intents and purposes spoils a top notch cpu/gpu combo
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
The radio is a standard Samsung so-so radio. Complete crap when compared to my EVO4G and even my LG Lotus which still gets almost full bars where I am (and the EVO4G never saw full bars and the ET4G is seeing only 1 or 2 less than that). Even considering the relatively weak radio it still is a solid performer with less signal.

...as opposed to the 3 EVO3D's I went through. Talk about useless radio. Sure, it can do EVDO rev.B but what does that matter if you can't get a decent signal and lock on to a tower for more than a few seconds at a time?

Honestly, I think lower radiation (and lower signal strength) radios is just the new way for some absurd reason. Even though the meter reads roughly the same as my Moment (shudder) did it doesn't have any actual problems (data lockups, grrr).

But, yes, aside from that I agree. This phone is amazing. I'm rooted but I'm not going ROM crazy like I usually do. I'm still flashing things all the time on my NookColor (between CM7 and MIUI), and that's only minor revisions....but I feel no need, unlike my HTC devices. Though I think the fact that they ship with Sense on them makes getting as close to AOSP as possible much more urgent. As it stands I've torn out all of touchwiz and aside from a few extremely small hardware specific tweaks (screen mode, etc) and very minor aesthetic decisions we are as close to stock android as we could really ask for. Until we have a pure AOSP base and/or Cyanogen and MIUI I don't actually have a need to do any heavy modifications (besides root and screen density adjustment).

Though, I am getting the Nexus Prime for certain. I just hope the huge screen size can compensate for how much I hate 16:9.

EDIT: I can't believe I forgot fncking lock screen...that hideous thing. Have we found a way to put the stock Android pull-tab lock screen in yet or a 100%-perfect method of using alternate lock screens without this one popping back up again in addition to the aftermarket lock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockky:
Nexus Prime.... paying out the ass at Verizon of course...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
I'll be hopping to the next phone if/when Sprint get a good LTE phone + network. I'm guessing in the next 12-18 months.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
So far as I know they are getting the Samsung Galaxy Prime...since it won't be a Nexus device they can go right ahead and fill it up with bloaty crap and lock down any standard features that compete with their own service offerings.

The Google Nexus Prime (manufactured by Samsung) is a different phone....even though it's likely the same exact phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockky:
I've had Evo 3D (not 4G) and this side by side since day 1, and it's far from complete crap in comparison. Speedwise both running on 4G, Epic runs little circles around the Evo. Call volume is much better on the Epic also.

I'm fortunate in that I don't lose signal....or very rarely.

Remember early days of 4G?...took a lot of tweaking and radio updates to solidify signal strength.

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

the leaked data sheets show it void of bloatware.

Irregardless.....

they all become aosp in short order...via XDA.

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

I find aosp boring as f*** anyway. My aosp has never looked aosp in the least.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Well, when I say complete crap I am referring to the measured signal strength. The actual real world performance of my OG Evo was pretty much on par with my ET4G. That's where the E3D just couldn't compete.

IRT Early 4G, well, we still haven't been officially announced as having 4G even though there is a tower a mile away. Unless they we are lumped in with "Hartford" which is a good 15 miles away. I guess we are part of the greater metro area.

I've gotta admit, Being with Sprint has been a fun, if very bumpy (at times) ride. I can only hope that we're about to have another great stretch of fantastic service...cuz it's deteriorating rapidly at this point.

I've gotta dig up my first Sprint PCS phone. A Samsung that looks like an out of date cordless phone. Last I turned it on it got a better signal (maxed out the entire time) than any of my other phones....though, It's likely measuring 2G. That phone was so futuristic looking when I got it...and TINY compared to my previous motorolas...

The galaxy III.

I wouldn't head to verizon for the prime but if it came to sprint I may try it out but it really has to wow me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Khilbron:
It won't be the nexus on verizon. They will get it but it is called the droid prime. If they also make it as the nexus prime it will be either sprint or att.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
Splitting hairs here aren't we?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockky:
It will be the Nexus on V.....even if it's called Droid Prime.

I'm gonna doubt they'll call it that though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GadgetMonger:
Ran both the GSII and the E3D for two weeks side by side. GSII went back. I'll be getting the E3D for the wife's upgrade and we'll stick with that til the next big thing drops. No real complaints with the GSII, it just didn't offer much more than I already have with the 3D. Bigger screen, blacker blacks, and slightly better camera. The difference in cameras was very slight and the fact that the GSII doesn't do 3D more than makes up for that difference. Plus the wife straight up chose the 3D so....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jbsg02:
I should be eligible for a full upgrade next spring, possibly when LTE phones are getting ready to come out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BlueGoldAce:
@gadgetmonger

We know how you returned your epic. How does that have anything to do with this post?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Full Disclosure: I was waiting months for the 3D and went through 3 of them and it broke my heart to have to give up on the phone (because of the radio). I so wanted to love that phone.

With that said I had a lot complaints about the 3D...one of them wasn't the camera, but, umm, "a little better" camera? I'm sorry, I wish I could agree with you, but, the ET4G camera is effin' lightyears beyond that 'pretty good for a cellphone' 2 back cams on the 3D. Acceptable? Damn right, great and detailed if you could deal with clicking the button and guessing when in the next 4 seconds it would take the picture... Anything to write home about? Not at all. But compared to the ET4G camera is simply absurd.

...though the 3D function cannot be debated. The 3D was really cool for that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ccline84:
I've been more than happy with the Epic Touch after coming from the OG Epic. This is the first smartphone that's given me over 10 hours with some heavy use. I can't see myself switching anytime soon, it's just too good of a device. Perfect size, more than enough power, gorgeous screen, stellar camera and beyond excellent battery life... I'm good.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GadgetMonger:
OP clearly started this thread to gather and discuss opinions. Very simple. :D

---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------

I can stand by my statement and can say it is an educated opinion. If you check my prior posts you will see that I posted several side by side comparisons of pictures and the differences were those of a good 5 mp camera as compared to a good 8 mp camera and very minimal. As for the camera button, in my opinion it is a huge plus in functionality. You'll see if you look in the pictures I posted that I held either one of the devices up to get their respective logos into the very bottom portion of the frames for identification purposes. Doing this required snapping pictures with one hand, no easy task with the GSII. The button on the 3D however made working this way very easy. Also, I noticed no delay from when I snapped the pictures to the time of capture on either device. Again I refer you to the photos I posted. I believe a delay like you describe would have obvious affects on the quality of the photos.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I could see myself hopping for a few things (but it would have to be a few of these not just 1).

1. Better data speeds (my EVO 3D got faster data on 3G and 4G).

2. 4.65" screen - 4.5 is great - still could be a little bigger and still fit nicely in my hand.

3. Higher resolution.

4. Better BT signal strength - (my 3D reached a little further - less interference).

5. Stronger Wifi (My 3D got stronger wifi signal)

6. Better battery life. The ET4G has good battery life but there is always room for improvement.

7. Better vlingo integration - tired of listening to how many missed calls I have before I can place a call. Google native voice dialing is wretched so I'll hope they improve vlingo integration.

This phone is much better for me than the 3D but the data seemed better on 3D in all ways. The voice sucked donkey balls on the 3D though.

i'm with you man, i used to flash any thing i could get my hands on with the Evo, here i am straight stock and haven't felt left out of anything. This phone is a straight beast!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ms79723:
*Looks at Gman's signature* haha

Yeah, with the Evo 4G..that was the worst of the worst. Every day I had something new...which is kinda good because it shows off what Android could do..but as a user, that was very time consuming. I love this Epic 4G Touch because I really don't even need to reboot. The only times I've ever rebooted where when I was messing with the DDTM settings. If you do that, that will mess up your LED so you have to reboot. Other than that, I just run it as is...this is the first Android phone where I got to do that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fonseca898:
For sure. I have two upgrades ready to go. Like others here, I had (still have, it's going on ebay this weekend) an Evo 4G and was a constant ROM flasher. I haven't even rooted my ET yet after a week of use, even though I downloaded everything I need to root it, and two nice ROMs. Touchwiz is great, Vlingo integration is outstanding, and the phone has settings to change everything I like to change. I still want CM7 but right now there's almost nothing I would change. Whereas with the Evo 4G I was constantly wanting to modify everything to get to a satisfactory state. I like Sense (especially 3.5), but it would always feel slow after a few days of use and I had to go back to AOSP with its bugs.

The fact that I can't use my phone while charging at more 600ma out is almost a deal breaker. But the fact is that this is currently the best Android device available for Sprint. I would switch to the Samsung Note in a heartbeat if the specs were upgraded a bit for U.S. release. Give it a better screen and the latest chipsets, make it badass and I would pay $300 on contract no questions. Add in a metal chassis and I'll renew all my lines. :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abrcrmdl23:
going back to my photon the radio sucks balls in this phone and I don't see samsung fixing it anytime soon, also the swype blows and that loss of signal is horrible. Plus does anybody get any lag mine locks up quite a bit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] churro7:
That's y there is lots of choices

Samsung Galaxy S Dos indeed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboTsi:
Truth right here. I feel the same way, I don't even look at the Android development section. This phone doesn't need it, its good out the box. I don't even want to change launchers. The rumored specs of the prime don't impress me except for the gpu. Ill be keeping thus for a while for sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Lock ups, did you try a factory reset? Cause you might want to take it back and have give you a new one. That's z very uncommon problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
Nope
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Well before you just take it back try some problem solving instead of not doing anything and throwing it down at the sprint counter and saying it doesn't work. Try a factory reset. That is know to solve ALOT of problems and bugs that come with phones. Also for battery life there's some amazing tweaks and mods on these threads. For instance if the reset doesn't work try flashing this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.ph...ck EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4

Its stock but it has a few tweaks and its deodexed which helps too.

There are lots of custom kernels out there and I tried a few stock ones and a few custom kernels. The absolute best/amazing battery life with no lock ups or hickups is this one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1269437

All phones are different and behave different to kernels and roms but this combo works great on my phone and my gf's phone aswell. If you try all those things and your phone still is totally crap like u say then unroot and return it. Thia stuff I just mentioned seems hard and like alot but its a fun learning expereince and it can easily be done in a half hour from start to finish
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
What he said....

Thought about root a little, but for what? If it aint broke, then don't mess with it..

I've been trying to find something wrong with this phone for the last 13 days, but, I'm another one who has a 100% working, monster, super fast, battery-sippin device..

My wife is happy with my E3d hand me down, so, aside from the fact the after market is taking their sweet time with accessories/cases for this beast, I couldn't be happier...
