I Had horrendous battery life previous night and a frightful experience yesterday :( . I plugged off battery charger around 3AM and went to sleep. By morning I saw my battery drained to 82% in 4 hours :-| . Dunno how did it happen. Was on quarx's 2004 build which was reportedly having good battery life . I also previously made sure the CPU settings were in proper . To my astonishment I eventually showed it had a deep sleep :eek::eek: . No clue whats going on
[Defy General] janeindiran:
On which build??
[Defy General] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
THANK YOU...for not reading! :cool:
[Defy General] tinnef:
Same here, my phone also often locked completely (as in didn't respond to anyhting, had to pull the battery), radio nmot responding and no deepsleep so horrible battery life.

I restored eppy's 17-04 build and now everything is back to sort of normal (although not nearly as stable as I would like it)
[Defy General] Fotogravin:
I guess you forgot to flash the battery fix
[Defy General] coolgame:
as i mentioned earlier,only charging to 97% with battery fix
[Defy General] 01ago:
Had a similar experience on Quarx's 2004 build. Used to get 3% battery drop over night, but last night it dropped from 98% to 88%. Still had deep sleep, but can't figure out what affected the battery drop.:confused:
[Defy General] hackergnome:
I don't know how this post came here!?

Sorry ignore this...
[Defy General] joydeep1985:
Hmm Seems like with 2004 build I am not the only one in league to have abnormal battery drain even with deep sleep state showing . Really weird behavior actually . Anyway I am back on 1704 build of Epsylon's GB build . Its almost rock solid .
[Defy General] UncleDan:
I have battery issues too but 2004 is smooth while 1704 is laggy on my phone so I will stay on 2004.

V6 SuperCharger Option for Defy

Thanks for this zip for replace Trebuchet with Apex ;)

Just i install V6 Supercharger Script v8.2 and for that install SU patched for ICS

When Supercharger say option 1 to 31 y choose 5 for memory but i don't know if it's better to choose other option ? I see better performance with this .

Thanks

I am on DEFY CM9. I have an issue. When i try V6 supercharger, it says not supercharged, minfree values are different see the user manual.

Mobile Data problems

Not sure if anyone else has made this mistake, but might be useful to others..

After trying both Quarz and Epsylons latest roms on my rooted Defy+ BL7, I could not get a mobile data signal at all, despite trying all basebands.

Solution: Because these roms bypass the normal operator setup, you have to enter your networks APN setting manually. All works frine for me now.

PS: Has anyone managed to get a MIUI based rom running on a BL7 Defy+ yet?
[Defy General] ethraza:
No 3G for me

Hi.

I have a Red Lens (Bayer) Defy and I'm using Quarx's CM9-NIGHTLY-20120420-Defy+ with CM9-Kernel, gapps-ics-20120422, ICS Defy Red Lense Battery Fix_2 and Backlight Fix (lights.jordan.so from CM9-NIGHTLY-120416-Defy).

All seens ok, but APN. The APN settings are blank and even if I try to manually add one, it says nothing and just keeps blank.

On 120305, the 3G data was working alright. The APN was auto configured, manually adds worked ok too.

Please, this is a huge issue for me. Somebody knows what can I do to Fix Data on my CM9 Defy? :confused:
[Defy General] flanagan843:
Flash your baseband

make new apn and save then reboot
[Defy General] ethraza:
Flash with what?

I tryed to Config->Advanced->Baseband switcher / Reboot, Manual add and Reboot... but my APN list remains blank.
[Defy General] gadgetcraze:
Can someone give me the link to latest Quarx build? Its not there on defy-cm\

Edit: found it
[Defy General] Deonix:
Did you patched your service.jar file? You need that for v6 on ICS to work
[Defy General] UncleDan:
That is also my choice.

Last time I Supercharged (today:D) I had to manually bulletproof the launcher and install nitrolag.

[Defy General] hackergnome:
make sure u hit save! when going back...in apn
[Defy General] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
Flash an earlier Quarx version - I suggest 05032012. Then set up APN and Facebook sync (yes, it works on 0503 build), then flash 20042012 (I would suggest 13042012 - much more stable and bug free) without any wipe - neither cache/data, nor even dalvik cache.
[Defy General] ethraza:
Yeah, 1604 was fine on mobile data for me too, but my wifi was crappy needing a restart every 2 minutes or so and contacts was appering as unknown on callings and with no pictures when calling out.

I don't know what to do... I loved the ICS interface but Motorola is making it so dificult to our developers to port it that I'm almost going back to GB and the only thing I know for sure is that Motorola is no more for me. My next phone will be anything else but Motocrappy.

I was on Quarx, not Epy... where are the new Epy builds?

Something that annoys me is when you are listening to music and notification mutes the song. This is irritating when you are having a lot of SMS coming in.

I saw this in almost every rom I tried. Is there some way to disable this behavior?

Thanks
[Defy General] tinnef:
Something that annoys me is people who don't know why the Q&A forum exists and post irrelevant, general questions in development threads.

So you have seen ROMS that do not do this, and you already know the answer to your "question"
[Defy General] jereaa:
Same happening to me. and applies for any type of notification... happen with twitter app (twitcaster), whatsapp, handcent sms, gtalk, facebook (friendcaster) and maybe another one... Completely annoying.

[Defy General] Niteeshkanungo:
It's completely normal, obviously phone don't come with self cooling system.. so they tend to work on the same temperature as of the outside environment.. using 3g can too- do increase the same, playing continuous games can even rise the temperature to about 45-48 Centigrade.

i am able to click pictures with the new 4th feb CM9 build .

THERE IS NO PREVIEW IN CAMERA APP. BUT IF YOU PRESS CLICK PICTURE and keep pressing the screen many time without stopping(also keep pressing the two squares above and below the camera shutter , and do this immidiatley after clicking on shutter), ur pic will be saved !

ahaha atleast we got the snapshot !! ahah

Also the pics are well focused.

but this new build doesnt seem to be that smooth as the previous 31st build !!!

Pictures are stored in android_system.

Gallery app finds it there.

For me the camera also doesn't work every time, and sometimes it takes the picture but does not save it. Just restart and try again a few times.

It's still quite buggy, but I think we will have a fully working camera (at least for taking pictures) in the next build :)
[Defy General] Gazm4n:
You have to hold the button... and restart the cam for ervery new pic.

Change Log:

1. Defy Camera is opening but couldn't see anything on screen ... its not capturing any image for me.

2.Transition effects are added for both Home Page as well as Drawer.

3.No Connectivity (Wifi/3G) issues.

4.Google Maps works very well without any FC's

5. Still no back light for touch buttons. [ yes,its working now, just went to display properties..enabled auto brightness and disabled it .. it started working !!]

6.UI is as usual very smooth without any Lags.

7. Still there is a lag in the video playback in the gallery.

8. Still voice search is not available

Apart from these i didn't find any more visible changes from 31st jan build...

Will let u know about the battery life tomorrow ( 31st jan build's battery life sucks when compared to 29th jan build)...

Anyways thanx a lot to Quarx and Epsylon3 for their effort to bring camera to ICS .. I think we are very near to it !!! :) :)

Cheers :D

[Defy General] jovus:
Been using the 16.04. build for 2 days. Here are some bugs that I ran into:

1. The autorotate switch doesn't work(it's always on). Restarting the phone helps, but still he rotates sometimes, constantly while locked.

2. Buttons are not lighten up. When I change the settings for button brightness, it is changed but, after that they just go dark.

3. Camera has random crashes, but works in 3/5 cases.

4. When there is incoming call, sometimes phone gets confused with onscreen options.

5. Battery lasted 23 hours on the first try. Will see how does the next one go.

All in all its very fluid, sometimes it lags a bit, but most of the time really fluid.

Keep up the good work.

If not go back to Cm7 it's fast and stable but ugly :p....... Just be patience and remember this is a still a beta and if you don't have xda you will still be waiting on those assholes(motorola) for one single bugfix update :mad:
[Defy General] freezer2k:
hwa won't come?

Where did you hear this?
[Defy General] Passa91:
HWA needs certain kernel modifications we can't implement without an unlocked bootloader. Some have said we need the 3.x kernel. This isn't true - the HD2 has just recently gotten HWA with a 2.6.32 kernel - but I'm assuming they were able to make certain modifications to that kernel that we cannot.

Kexec has recently been talked about as solving the Defy's bootloader problem. It works with OMAP4 devices, but unfortunately kholk (the main dev behind getting kexec working on Android) has stated that the 3G chipset in OMAP3 devices like the Defy and Milestone fails to restart upon switching kernel. So hypothetically, Quark and Epyslon could put out an ICS build that works perfectly - full HWA, amazing performance, everything, but without 3G.

I haven't read any sources other than kholk confirming that the Wrigley 3G chipset in the Defy cannot be restarted after switching kernels with kexec, but the guy is a veteran and I believe was one of the guys who tried for ages to get custom kernels on the Milestone and I would say he probably knows what he's talking about. Unless the OMAP3 3G chipset has some undocumented functions and we could get it to restart... :D

I'm pretty much a total layman here but that's my understanding of the scenario. In short, expect small fixes here and there and updates along with ICS/CM9 progress, but don't expect HWA unless there are some other dramatic developments, like Motorola choosing to unlock the bootloader or a sympathetic employee unlocking it for us.

If there's anything factually incorrect about my writeup, point it out! Hopefully this answers everyone's constant questions about HWA, the bootloader and CM9 on the Defy.

TL;DR: The Defy will not get full HWA without an unlocked bootloader, so we can modify the kernel. An unlocked bootloader now looks very remote. Therefore the Defy is unlikely to ever have a fully featured ICS ROM.
