[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aardvarking:
Dear staff!

Does somebody answer me a simple question? As I see, Defy and Defy plus two types of android phones. Defy roms, mods, solutions aren't compatible with Defy plus and vice versa.

So why they are in same topic? I am often confused, not sure that I read is useful or not to me. There are lot of themes, where I cant figure out, which phone is targeted.

Why don't you cut to two half this mixed topic? Make one named Defy and another to Defy Plus.

(a confused Defy Plus user)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
The que is not directed to me but still I'll answer..

Defy & Defy+ aren't two different Android phones but variants of the same phone..just like a green lens & red lens defy.. and that isn't the only thing which differentiate.. the bootloader versions, the stock OS also varies phone to phone.. as far as the mods, and solutions are concerned, a mod for even defy+ might not work on every defy+..and perhaps a mod for defy might work with + .. so different section will not only increase the useless overhead but will also make things more confusing..

Just try to read through the posts..most of the things have been discussed.. if still confused just ask, and you will be helped..:)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aardvarking:
Thanks for your answer. Its getting clear.

So, if I am not sure I will ask a question. But it's not too simple, because I can't post questions into every topic. (Just after ten "helpful" post.)

[LG Optimus 2x] iulian89:
Hi guys I noticed something and I was wondering if anyone of you has the same problem.

I am using google navigation or waze and when I use them after about 20 minutes of navigation the phone temperatures are way too high.

Today after 25 minutes of navigation the temperature was over 56 grades celsius (idk if is spelled like that) and the back of the phone was really really hot.

Considering that usually the temperature is about 23-30 celsius grades I think that over 50 is quite high.

Anyone has this problem? Is it a problem or is normal?

Using tamasek kang's, one of the latest versions
[LG Optimus 2x] darryd:
have the same on CM7...and another issue with GPS when 3G is on...GPS status sometimes can't take signal. When i turn 2G, GPS working properly, when turning 3G back, issue doesn't exist for a while. Tested on BB 0725+0725ril and 1303+0725 v10d on CM7 kang 89, CM9 nova...

maybe try to turn only 2G signal, and test a temperature...i'm not testing yet...
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Are you using the GPS feature under the sun? In the windshield of your car maybe?

I personally have my phone reaching 41C easy. (I use offline navigation btw, meaning no internet connection on. Just GPS.) And actually, heat is normal, I used a Motorola Milestone before, and same thing, it would get really hot under navigation.

What I do though, is I actually have one of the aircon vents pointed at my phone. Since I've started doing that, I now have a 28C phone navigating me. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] iulian89:
well no at both questions.

The support I use in car for the phone has like a cover that protects all the back of the phone that should stay at the sun so the sun doesn't touch it.

Also no aircon vent is pointed at the phone.

I'm using the 3g connection always since I don't have any offline navigator.

Today I also underclocked it to 800mhz to see if it changes anything but nothing, same problem
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
My only advise then, is to look for a car dock that allows one of your aircon vents to hit the phone.

Sorry mate. I'm out of ideas too.

Just in case you're wondering, this is pretty much what I use as my car dock:

[LG Optimus 2x] xtrustkillx:
Its normal temperature, all of my previous phones where hot when using gps nav.
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
If you are using google maps, you can pre cache your maps at home using wifi so that you don't need 3g outside. Pre caching is fast, and covers quite an area. Hopefully by not using 3g while navigating will help reduce heat.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rivafe:
I don't have this problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] darrenxes:
I am using temasek rom too but i dun have this issue.

I drove up from Singapore to KL all the way with GPS on all the way. abt 4hrs journey, phone temp @ 35.

Perhaps my hp is placed close to the aircon vent :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] magnumforce2006:
I'm an inspire user who's been debating switching to the Note for awhile, but decided to see what the Galaxy S3 would look like... Now that the specs have been released, it doesn't seem all the impressive.

So what about the Note? Is it worth it? It seems to be a very popular phone according to its users... What of the "lag," that I've read about... Do custom ROMS basically fix that? (I know I felt the Inspire was a tad laggy until I started using custom roms/kernels).

Also, what is the situation as far as custom ROMS.... are you satisfied with what's available?

Thanks for letting me know about your phone.... I'm extremely interested (especially with the recent price drop).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevinallen4325:
There are plenty of roms to choose from. For me, team objections new ROM plus dagr8 tablet mode is perfect. It makes me love the note even more. The.combination of these have no lag. Most custom roms don't, and incest they release kernel source for ics it'll get even better. Personally I think it's one of the best (definitely the most beautiful) phones on the market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hdbueller:
This is my second Note. ....I had an international Note first,and it works very well.My wife even likes it and wants it when I am "through with it" as she puts it....lol. I told her that there will have to be a Note 2 before that happens...... ;)

Later......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
Vs

I came from the inspire.

There is no comparison between the two devices. The note has a faster processor, better screen, more ram for programs and more storage. The S-pen is a great addition. The Camera is better + it has a front facing camera.

As far as lag, I have not experienced any lag worse than on the inspire. When I sold my inspire it was running the latest CM7. Running the note on ICS beta's are faster than the Inspire was OC'ed.

The BIGGEST thing you have to think about is physical size, I love it, some do not. As far as performance goes you can't make a valid comparison.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
Well worth it imo. we still own an inspire and have given it to my 11 yr old son. great phone but you will be more than pleased with the note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] magnumforce2006:
Thanks guys... Might have to pick this up in the next week or two. The size is definitely not an issue for me, as I'm a pretty big guy, and I love the idea of a large cell phone screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] redneck_666:
I came from the Inspire as well.

After running ICS on the Inspire, GB & TW is a let down.

Once we (Note users) get our own version of ICS, it'll be even better. Which will be pretty impressive, considering ICE on DHD & Inspire ran really well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllGamer:
G.note can easily be my Primary phone as soon as they fix the radio to work 99% with AWS 1700

currently the radio is at like 90%, it's usable, just not reliable enough as the only phone

other than that, the G.note is the perfect device for everything.

the natural writing is what i like the most about the G.note, which also eliminates all the problems i have with my oily fingers, using the Stylus instead of my fingers keeps my screen smudge clean for longer periods of time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
Too many people cry or bit** about touchwiz. There are plenty of good launchers on the the playstore. If you dont like it, root it and flash a rom. Samsung has already made their point about keeping tw on their devices. Only the Nexus will have pure google os. Also Note that HTC Sense is just as bad but LG is worse.

-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlownFuze:
Couldn't have said it better myself. Came from the inspire, and I love the note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dcd17:
Came from inspire a month back with intention of trying it out while waiting for the one x. Never looked back. Absolutely love it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonyc0642:
DOOOO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1one

The Inspire was the best Android phone I had... until I got my Note. Sure, there are more ROM choices for the Inspire, but as far as performance and capability, the Note wins hands down. I don't regret it one bit. Not even now that the One X is out and the SGS3 on the way. I don't know if I could ever use a smaller screen again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JGuinan007:
HTC Sense

I came from a Inspire 4g loved the phone but always wished the display was bigger especially for texting. Now the the NOTE is better in every way except for one thing the UI. Touchwiz is OK it gets the job done but it's nothing like HTC Sense doesn't look as good or have as many options Sense had. Now Sense did slow down the Inspire anlong with the bloatware form AT&T but the custom ROMs made for it fixed all that so you would get beauty and speed from Sense there are roms for the Note that speed up touchwiz but the UI is not near as good as HTC Sense

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] magnumforce2006:
So are none of the ICS ROMS I see in the development forum working that well, or what?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlownFuze:
They are based off of a leak, so they have some minor issues. Some people complain more than others. /shrug

Personally, I have been running The Unofficial 1.1A2 from the day I bought my note, with zero issues. I am waiting for the official release of ICS and source, before flashing again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
The ICS roms work very well and I've been using ICS since the leak was released with almost zero issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lsxrx7:
go to the store try both the note and the ONE x first
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] magnumforce2006:
Another question:

Are there any ROMS on this phone that feature some nifty Cyanogen features (status bar toggles, etc.)? I see that there aren't any CM7/9 ROMS available, and I love using CM7 on the Inspire.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sinful Animosity:
CM9 is in the works I believe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonyc0642:
Quite a few have the 14 toggle status bar mod as well as some AOSP style themes and other goodies.

Where did you hear that? Do you know which CM dev is working on it?

Sent from my G-Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sunshines4u:
I used complain about the lag experience for simple apps like dialer and SMS. However I was able to find free dialer and messaging apps that have minimal lag and more satisfying user interface. I'm starting to think it is Samsung stock apps that were implemented poorly. Anyway I'm happier now..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
A step further.

If you want to take it to the next level you can flash any ICS rom out, then use root explorer to delete the crap you know you will never use. That in turn makes the rom boot faster and more available memory for other apps.

Note: Gotta be careful when deleting stuff, a funny example. I had deleted the Samsung keyboard + both copies of the Android keyboard in the rom after I had installed Swype from then International version. Couple days later, I removed swype and had NO keyboard. You can't imagine how "fun" it is trying to navigate the store using google voice search to install another keyboard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eazyweazy3:
Definitely worth it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
With the SGS3 being mostly software based upgraes, the Note is your best choice, hands down, right now or in the near future. There has been no word out of Motorola, and HTC just released their big bang of the year in the One X, and nothing has topped the Note yet in my book. If you can handle the screen, which basically anybody can, it's so worth it.

Yeah, if you go international One X or international SGS3, you will get the quad core, but that's just a bunch of marketing BS as of now. Look at the first dual core phones. They weren't refined at all. quad core will be the same way. Especially since Android is barely optimized, if at all, for dual core yet. If you're serious about quad core, wait a year until Jelly Bean is out and the second generation of quad core phones are out. So you might as well get the Note.

You wont be disappointed. =].
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
I don't get it.. are you saying the AT&T GNote radio is not reliable such that you get dropped calls AND data?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrFixit007:
You will brick your phone most likely. If you have a rooted phone, and you want the new OTA you shou8ld wait for a dev to include it in their latest rom. The most recent ota, from what I understand is a connection manager and the only usefull feature it turning off soe radios. There are already several good apps out there that do that for people, so imo you don't need the newest ota.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempe38:
This probably depends on how one rooted. I rooted mine on froyo just before the GB update with Unrevoked Forever and I've run every OTA since then. Just have to reflash recovery and superuser afterwards.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrstphrbrnnn:
I know that Canada's cellphone market is unfortunately less competitive than the US's but I've been very intrigued by this thread. I had a contracted Galaxy Nexus for two weeks from Bell, but I took it back before the 14 day tester period was up. I quite liked my Nexus but I figured if I was signing on for 3 years, I might as well have the most up to date thing I could so I waited to see what the SIII was going to be like. I'm not really sold on it and since it'll likely be mid summer or later before it's in Canada, I'm thinking I won't bother.

However, if a new Nexus or even the iPhone 5 really makes me want to upgrade in 6 - 9 months, I don't want to be eating my contract for a ton of money. So I have a few questions:

1) Are there any crazy deals in Canada like the Tmobile 30 dollar plans with good data/texting and etc that are detailed in the thread I linked above. I'm in Eastern Canada, so I'm pretty sure Wind doesn't have much of a presence here, but even still I'd count them in since I feel they will in the near future.

2) I've seen a lot of 399 dollar Nexus' listed places. Google Play, Expansys, Newegg (for a bit more). All of these seem to be largely American shipped, so I get hammered with shipping and tax pushing upward of 500 or more. Google Play didn't ship to Canada as far as I could tell, though in comments on websites I saw people saying they had gotten on from Google play to Canada. Would Expansys be my best bet (475 it ends up with tax and shipping) or is there any way around Google Play/a better place I missed.

3) Most importantly, a GSM version of the Nexus from Google Play that's supposed to be for the US would work in Canada, correct?

If there is some awesome Canadian version of Own your cell service that I couldn't find (I sifted through search results but got nothing), I'd love to see that. I largely want to know if dropping 400-500 dollars on a Nexus to run prepaid plans would be worth it if I only kept it under a year.

Currently I would pay 49.99 from Bell to upgrade to a Nexus, and I'd pay 70 bux a month for 1 gig data/fab 10/unlimited texting. I can get a 7 dollar/month damage warranty thing that replaces the phone for 150 dollars from bell. If there was a good prepaid plan for about 40 dollar, I'd be saving 30 dollars a month, for say 10 months would be saving 300, which almost pays off the Nexus and I would have no worries about being locked into a contract if I decided to not use my phone a month. I'd also be able to sign a contract down the road if a new, crazy Nexus came out that I really wanted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr mcknight:
what do you mean own you cell service???? off contract? if so yes you will be paying 500$ for sure
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrstphrbrnnn:
Click my link in my first paragraph. It's a link to a thread called "Own your cell service..with prepaid and the Galaxy Nexus". The idea is you get an unlocked Nexus, multiple sims and flip between various carriers who are offering the best prepaid bang for your buck, rather than getting stuck in a long term, expensive contract. However, the US is more competitive than Canada in terms of cell providers, so I was wondering if it was even possible to accomplish this in Canada.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Read the thread he linked...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceribaen:
Unfortunately at least in Ontario the pay as you go market is pretty terrible.

I have a GN I bought in the UK and came back with, and have been casually shopping around while my Bell contract expires on my old phone.

So far, I'm currently using a Telus PAYG service which offers VM call I'd unlimited texting and 250MB data for 20 a month and that's about the best I've found.

The "big 3" all require basically minimum of 20-30 a month to get data and you're at less than 500MB or less. Then you'd still need top up on the account if you wanted any voice.

I've no experience with eBay for sims for Canada but to get from the carriers generally they all charge I think it was 15 for a PAYG.

If you want to try 30 day ''contracts' there's decent options I'm finding through Rogers and Bell retention but still going to be around 60 a month and no real differentiation between carrier. If you're not an existing customer they'll charge 25 for a service fee and run a credit check.

Now if you only live in a major city and have an i9250 then the AWS carriers (like Wind) are a bit more attractive. The Rogers version and not sure about the play version lack the AWs band.

Hope this helps you get started and would be interested if there are options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrstphrbrnnn:
Yeah, I'll looked through everything that's offered in Atlantic Canada and it seemed as if Telus had the best offer, and it was still over 50 bucks with a few missing features. I'm not really saving much money (if any) shelling out 500 for a Nexus if I dump it within a year (which would probably happen, as a new Nexus would be around by then). Still, I'm sick of being locked with Bell. Tough decision I suppose...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Slaii1030:
Hello everyone! I am currently a nexus s user and I am planning on upgrading to a galaxy nexus for my birthday. I want to buy an unlocked one because I don't want to restart my contract or get a new one. I was looking around on amazon and found the following galaxy nexus: Samsung Galaxy Nexus GT-i9250 Factory unlocked (white) But I have a couple questions:

1) If I order this phone will I be able to just insert my Fido simcard and go?

2) Does the white GN get dirty easily? Should I just go with the grey

Thanks in advance!
