Hey all on 1811 with Quarx Bluetooth fix as I have found this to be a good balance of functionality/battery for green lens defy, only problem that's really annoying can't play YouTube videos in the stock browser, I have searched these forums numerous times found a few topics tried many different versions of Adobe flash .apk also pushed .apk to system/apps as suggested in one post but no luck so far, could someone put up stock browser .apk they know will play YouTube videos or offer a fix if known?

Cheers.

Quarx U R Da Man. THX.

Hi, have you tried the latest Flash Player from Adobe website, Flash Player 11.1.for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.34), from here?

I didn't test the stock web browser on youtube, but it might solve your problem.
[Defy Android Development] Persechini:
After my last post I decided to check the reported lag after a 2~3 days, I didn´t reboot for any reason for 72 hours

I definitely got it now, on 18/11, and man, it is sloooooow, everything in the phone takes ages to do after a few days of use. Since it´s a linaro build this for sure is a linaro independent issue, not sure about battery consumption thou, I still get greater battery life than reported for anything after the 18/11 build
[Defy Android Development] Mettanine:
Definitely +1. It's that lag, that made me return to CM7 (once again), because it's just unbearable sometimes.

But I'd really like to know what causes that lag, and most importantly, if it CAN be fixed. Or if it's just something that we'll have to live with on our puny Defy. Has Quarx or another developer ever commented on that?
[Defy Android Development] bharaththeunique:
Whatever anyone may say, I just realized that I am never going to ever change from aosp jb. Today I moved from WIUI gb to wr2.0 to WIUI v4....not once was I satisfied fully(with all due respect to tweety peety and wajk). Something or the other felt not right. Back to cm10 and now because of this satisfaction.... I don't give **** about the lagginess... Which frankly is reallllyyyy rare for me..!!!

[Defy Android Development] sergio_sos:
You should uninstall the default keyboard first then. I recommend ROM Toolbox, download it from Play Store.

Then go to manage apps-all apps-filter system-and look for keyboard AOSP. Backup and uninstall.

Then go to the 4.2 apd and install. It should work now.

I had the same problem with some apps when I tried to update them.

Not working. You can installed it but when you select the app in the apps drawer it would go to a blank website or it would just FC.
[Defy Android Development] Gafanhotz:
It's because the OMAP3 720P Decoder have an incompatibility with it. On Jelly Bean for other devices (like Nexus, Galaxy Tab 2 and Ainol Aurora II) the flash player work flawlessly. Somehow, the Milestone Devs managed to make it work partially.

Reg. the ringtones bug

Hi everybody,

Just wanted to see if anyone was able to find a permanent solution to the disappearing ringtone problem.

I encountered it both on the 28.11 & the 17.11 builds, both after full wipe...

Any ideas?
[Defy Android Development] paulle:
reboot the phone, dalvik and cache helps, but only for 2 or 3 days, when the ringtone problem is back.
[Defy Android Development] nostupidthing:
just a reminder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.donatecm_10
[Defy Android Development] N!TRO:
Yep from app drawer to blank website!!

So I guess no fix at present :( Looks like YouTube app it is then. THX anyways guys.
[Defy Android Development] Maverick_John:
Hmmm Ok now the phone has stopped getting signal a few times and again requires a restart to actually start working. This is really bizarre. The rom may be inconsistant with telstra tower in australia.

Is there anyone else with a similar problem to me.
[Defy Android Development] Hesekiel:
Same issues here in Germany. Sometimes I can't make or get a call. The phone shows a grey signal icon without data conenction symbol. Only phone restart fixes this issue in most cases. Sometimes flight mode on/off fixes it too.

Another problem is:

I'm on 05/12 with huge battery drain. 50%-80% in 12hrs. Replaced the ramdisk with 28/11's one to fix root problems, seemed to improve at leastalsoalso lagginess and general performance(?)! Most usage of battery is done by "Android OS" which has been reported earlier.
[Defy Android Development] sergio_sos:
And how was your battery performance with 18/11 build? I had a huge batt drain with 5/12 and went back to 18/11, it works very good and batt is much better.
[Defy Android Development] bascro:
Can any1 tell me where i can find gallery app cause i deleted gallery and the camera app got deleted with it and i want it back ...
[Defy Android Development] EtaCarinae:
Gallery and camera is the same app in JB.

You can get it from the rom zip. Make sure permissions are correct.
[Defy Android Development] kadolf:
I can confirm this issue. It seems to be related to WiFi: The problem always shows up when I'm at a special building at my campus. At this place I don't have network reception, but I have WiFi available (and connected).

If I leave this building of cause I loose WiFi and should get back network, but it just shows a grey reception indicator without any data connection. In this state I can neither initiate or answer calls nor send/receive SMS. People, who are trying to call me just hear silence for about 20 seconds (no ringing tone), then some "not available" announcement. Also WiFi doesn't work anymore, even if I get back to an Acces Point.

The only way to resolve this problem is to reboot the phone - flight mode doesn't help, I can't get back from flight mode to normal operation, after once activating flight mode the phone takes minutes to reboot.
[Defy Android Development] cabbelo:
I searched the forum, but didn't find how to replace the ramdisk. How can I do this? Does it improve batt life?
[Defy Android Development] Hesekiel:
It was posted by "YetAnotherForumUser" in post #13803 some days before:

- You have to download 28/11 to a pc and extract the ramdisk from /system/bootmenu/2nd-boot/

- Then reboot your phone into recovery

- Go to "advanced" and start adb

- On pc commadn line do: adb push /<pathToYourFile>/ramdisk /system/bootmenu/2nd-boot/ramdisk

- Then reboot your phone nad you're done

I can't say that battery life is better, but while searching on logcat I found some errors while PM tried to read in /system/... without permission. I read that ramdisk from 28/11 should fix root, this was simply a test. Battery life is still worse than ever. :(

Greetz... :o

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

It was really better, like on 28/11. I'm thinking about downgrading to 28/11. I think it was the most stable and efficient build. Does anyone have an idea what makes "Android OS" process going crazy on battery?

Yes. Good point. Can confirm this :good: Thx.
[Defy Android Development] AlexGraves:
Yes, unfortunately the battery life of 5/12 nightly is a nightmare, but there are several workarounds to temporary solve it until Quarx solve it permanently in the rom.

In my case, I use 3G Manager app to turn cellular data off during sleep and occasionally on to check for notifications.

That way, I manage to extend my battery life nearly twice as long.

This is what you're looking for. Don't forget to thank turffe ;)
[Defy Android Development] DingoDingo:
This is BIG issue. Sometimes there is no drops, sometimes few times a day. I don't know if anybody noticed that in that case battery indicator stay at point when drop started. After restart, there is always few or more percentage battery drop which is no real battery drop.

There is thread about data drop, maybe we can learn something, I tried some of solutions, neither is good enough...:(

Here is the link, and please don't post these query in dev thread ! Only developers are ment to do talking !
[Defy Android Development] gkkovacs:
My experience and testing shows that selecting a different baseband under Settings / Advanced can drastically improve battery life, especially when the phone is not in use. I am on 05/12, currently using Central Europe / 2.21 with 2-3% battery drain per hour (wi-fi always on). My default was Central Europe / 3.4.x and it gave me 4-5% per hour or worse.

Good idea is to charge your phone to 100% in the evening, remove the charger and leave it on for the night, with a different baseband every day. You will see in the morning how the idle battery drain is, and your data will not be distorted by phonecalls or any other activity.

Please report back your findings!
[Defy Android Development] Hesekiel:
Already tried ramdisk from 28/11, will try the 18/11 from turffe's zip. Switching the baseband will be worth trying, thanks. Stay tuned :)
[Defy Android Development] nostupidthing:
not complaining, just wondering, a friend use lg p970 (optimus black), seems same hardware as defy/defy+, but their cm is much more smooth, why??
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
Because they've got an official ICS update, meaning they have the v3 kernel. That's what we are missing for top performance.
[Defy Android Development] Vitor_Hugo:
In my opinion it's very smooth, it's stable, but I still can find some bugs:

1. Dark Theme in Messaging app doesn't work (Only works in Quick Reply panel)

2. Phone app is may get unstable: Sometimes you aren't able to hear the ringtone, toggle on/off loudspeaker doesn't work, ***NOT SURE*** coming back to a standby call hangs it up

3. Countdown and Stopwatch in Clock app seems laggy + takes some time to stop

4. Often while recording a video, the video preview has some small freezes

5. 720p playback is horrible

6. Notification LED sometimes display weird colors

But those are only small bugs (except the Phone app bugs), and I think Quarx won't give support to CM10 anymore, or will?

Because you mentioned this, I got curious: Did Quarx's give up about port Kernel v3 for Defy? In a fast look in CM10.1's thread I saw Kernel v3 is needed for storage (?)
[Defy Android Development] nostupidthing:
maybe it's the v3 kernel maybe it's not, but anyway since we can boot custom kernel now, can we kang something from p970?

btw, one of the hard to reproduce/report issue is that the phone slow down after a few days of use
[Defy Android Development] slph:
You can grab black mms.apk for 4.1.2 from inverted gapps

[Defy Android Development] YaPeL:
[pessimist] He gave up on defy [/pessimist]

He got stuck in the process of making usb and the display work, as far as I know.

I just switched from 05/12 to 02/11 and the battery drain seems to be a little bit better now, I could bet money that the problems are due to switching to the newer version of linaro.

Dude- you have a Defy.

They are as close to unbreakable as you can get.

adb is a command line interface with your phone's os.

You can connect in bootmenu or when booted up.

The worst thing that could happen is you'd have to re-flash your rom after wiping caches.

Try this gui adb if you need to.
