Defy+ battery stuck at 1%

Hello, I've been trying to run quarx2k's CM10 nightlies on my Defy+. The problem is, my battery percentage is always stuck at 1%, even if I charged the battery to full with a separate battery charger; what's more, if I plug the phone to my usb charger, it doesn't seem to charge. I've tried wiping the battery stats in recovery, no use. The latest nightly released on Sep. 12 still has the same problem, and I have had no choice but to revert to the official stable CM7.2 release, which doesn't have this problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Defy General] kur41:
Is your phone a Defy+ or a red lens Defy, because it looks like the latter...
[Defy General] chtamina:

if i don't flash the battery fix my phone doesn't see and charge the battery,it remains at 1% and i can't use the phone

if i flash it i can use the phone until 80%

have you got problem like this?
[Defy General] tlongren:
I've been running CM10 builds from Quarx on my phone for a while. My wife wanted to try it too.

We both have regular Defy's with the red lens.

Her phone had CM7 on it. I followed these directions to install the Sept 12 Defy+ build from Quarx:

1) Go to Stable Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and go to advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to Install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash gb Kernel (JUST FOR DEFY RED LENS USERS).
5) Flash CM10-2012xxxx-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip.
6) Flash Gapps.
7) Flash Battery fix (only for red lens)
8) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended).
9) Restart.

All went good until step 9. Upon rebooting, her phone is stuck at the Google/Motorola logo. Haven't seen any green or blue LED lights where I can enter recovery.

Also, the kernel I used was walter79-4.5.2-109_DHT-22-kernel.zip. Should I have gone with CM9_Kernel-signed.zip first, and then walter79's kernel?

Do I need to flash an SBF to fix this?

If so, can anyone suggest a tutorial or post I should look at?

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Defy General] K3n H1mur4:
Kinda easy to fix, but you'll need to flash a SBF.

First, the probably cause. I'm not 100% sure, but I'd bet on walter's kernel being incompatible with cm10, which resulted on your situation.

Now, the solution:

First of all, flash your preferred SBF. Most people recomend Nordic or CEE Deblur, but I always flash my phone's original SBF (even though I'm using a different carrier than the one featured in the sbf) with no problem. Then, get your phone a CWM recovery either by the traditional method (installing Defy 2ndInit) or by the EasyRecovery method (which you can see in the dedicated thread in the development section), flashing EasyRecovery, then installing CM10's zip. Once done, get to the CWM recovery, and flash CM10 kernel (I'll attach the one I use), than battery fix and gapps (order of flashing is irrelevant in this case, since you already flashed the ROM, just be sure you flash all the 3 zips). Wipe cache, dalvik and batt stats and you should be good to go :)
[Defy General] tlongren:
Do you know which SBF this is?

http://quarx2k.ru/4.5.2-109-DHT-22-fixed.sbf

Also, I use Walters kernel on my Defy with this same Quarx mb526 build. I don't think I've flashed a kernel since installing CM9 way back when. Keyword there is "think". :)

slider shortcuts - airplane mode?

Hi,

I'm running the 20120912 mb526 nightly on my red lens defy.

First - nice ROM! I'm loving it.

I'd like to have a slider shortcut on my lock screen to toggle in and out of airplane mode. Currently I have an app from the market that toggles airplane mode, and a shortcut to that app on my lockscreen, but it seems like this is something that could be achieved natively ???

Problem with date

Yesterday I transversed from old-good-trusted Quarx "CM7 RC1.5" to the latest nightly, again from Quarx (CM10-20120912-NIGHTLY-mb526). First impressions are good. The only bug that I have across is the date. Even thought I choose it to be displayed as "DD/MM/YYYY" (31/12/2012), on the clock, status bar, notification drawer or lock screen it's always "MM/DD/YYYY" (month/31/2012). Has anyone else tried this or is it just me?
[Defy General] corrinti:
At least not me. Maybe check if it is language dependent.
[Defy General] Gathul:
Thank you very much, corrinti. It indeed was language depended. I had "English - United States". I changed it to every language I know (greek, german, french, english) and it is working as it should. So, now I have it in "English - United Kingdom".

Anyhow, after further testing, in "Settings>Date & Time>Choose date format", if you choose 2012/09/16, it's not working. The date is always

SUNDAY

16 SEPTEMBER 2012

So, at least for me the date format is not working as it should.

Strange battery issues

Hello! I have installed cm10 Android 4.1.1 JB on my Defy +. It works really well, seems faster than 2.3.6 and I got rid of 2 really annoying bugs wich made the camera and syncing useless in 2.3.6. I do have some strange battery issues though:

1. It will not charge using my Nokia 1200 mA charger while the phone is on. If I turn the phone off and plug the cable in, it will charge even using the nokia charger. (this was not an issue on the orig firmware)

2. Using the original Motorola 850 mA charger, the phone will charge even when it is on. The strange thing is that after it is fully charged (it shows 100% charge while on) if I turn the phone off and plug the charger in, it will only show 85% charge and continue charging? Is this normal behaviour?

3. After I charge it to 100% while off, after the phone boots, it shows 94% charge? Does it really use 6% battery just to boot or is there an issue?

Thank you!

gapps

What is the best to install the full gapps "defy-gapps-CM10-20120901-fixed" or the minimal "gapps-jb-20120726-minimal" ?

I read there were some problems !
[Defy General] j16sdiz:
If you have not try any

I suggest you start with minimal. The "fixed" version have extra apps. You can "upgrade" it later.

[Defy General] moxpearl:
Think I posted in the wrong thread before.. so here is a Copy and Paste of my post :)

Just adding my 2cents as a newbie here

Great having 4.1.1 on my Defy+ .. however there are some problems

- Wifi seems very very weak in terms of picking up wifi spots.. from my workplace before the flash I could see atleast 15 wifi spots.. now this only shows 2 .. even on our home connection I get only 1 or 2 bars.. and that is even in the same room :S

- Navigation features will not work when trying to load it up away from a wifi connection.. eg it cant get a data connection (It will still show the GPS using JUST the offline map fine,.. but its getting zero data.. eg wont give you directions/traffic/places etc.. works fine if I load it all up at home before going out.. however it simply wont work under normal cell conditions.

- Same thing for google now.. works fine from home, but as soon as I get out to where its relying on cell .. nope.. wont get a connection

But the strange thing is...

- Browser works 100% fine 100% of the time :S

Cheers (Also I am not living in some third world country with terrible cell tech etc.. I am in New Zealand where I have never had a problem before )
[Defy General] j16sdiz:
which build did you flash? what were you using before flash?

It look like baseband problem.
[Defy General] roscored1000:
how stable is this latest build

Hi guys

I have installed and happily running CM7.2 after nervously taking the plunge. I really love the fact that my MB525 green lens works well with this software but am curious whether a jump to this version of CM10 is as stable as CM7.2? I need my phone to just work but would like to have a go at the upgrade. So is it as stable or are there still things to do to it. Thanks for helping out an old guy.
[Defy General] corrinti:
Wifi - check in Settings > Wifi >Advanced (with menu button) whether 'Avoid weak connections' feature is ticked or not, will not make more bars on, but can show more access points

If your browser works without a problem then GN or navigation shall work also. But do u have problems both with 3G and 2G mobile data? Have u choosed proper baseband for your country? (Settings > Advanced (Defy parts) > Baseband switcher)

Well, I use it as every day choice from its very begining, switching to next nightly revision asap as it's released :D

But if u mean really reliable phone ... for me yes, it is. Had one case in last 2 months when it stop working and I had to flash it from a very begining and therefore I didn't have my phone for a few hours.

For me it works pretty good, faster then CM7, but not out of box. So if u love to go into settings and read some threads here then go into CM10 now, if u just need a very reliable phone, wait a little bit till any RC1 is available.
[Defy General] roscored1000:
Thanks for the advice I have it all downloaded ready to go but will wait awhile longer as I have only in the past 2 months put CM7 on, I will wait for an RC1, thanks again, hopefully it is not far along or I will be tempted.:good:

[Defy General] corrinti:
For WIFi problem check your WiFi menu > Advanced > if u have 'avoid weak connections' checked or not, should be unchecked.

For me battery & time in status bar work without a problem - don't know what is the cause, maybe any task killer or limited processes in the background

Newest Build (had the same problem on the older one)

I was just using stock before the flash (However I did have to do a restore/flash to some GB kernel that would let me flash it)
[Defy General] melv1n138:
Hi guys, rooted my defy with superoneclick and installed the cm10 nightly and google apps.

Now my phone wont boot and is stuck at the white motorola logo.

If i boot with power plus volume down i get the android logo with the triangle and exclamation but the phone doesnt seem to respond to volume plus and minus or any other button press.

At the moment the device is bricked, cant be recognised in RSD and get get into recovery/bootloader.

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
[Defy General] pepcisko:
power + volume up = bootloader

power + volume down = stock recovery

in the stock recovery, at the triangle and exclamation you have to press both up & down.

try to wipe data/cache and reboot.

or get to the bootloader and flash SBF.
[Defy General] melv1n138:
Ok i can get into bootloader but from stock recover the phone does not respond to volume up & down.

Bootloader is certainly good.

Playing with rsd now.

THANKS.
[Defy General] melv1n138:
flashed back to stock,

Rooted and and reloaded cm10

Same thing, stuck at white motorola screen.

4th defy i have done exactly the same but this one gets stuck. everytime.

Any ideas? Its green btw
[Defy General] dagomez99:
Hey roscored, to be honest, I tried out nightlies since 08/28 and I liked them a lot, some bugs, but nothing critical, but the last nightly has a horrible battery life. As for core functionality, phone and SMS show no problem, so if you don't mind batt life go for it!

---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

I do have the problem, happens only once in a while, but I don't use task killers, nor have changed anything about the bg processes. What do you think?

---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

Did you wipe data before flashing? Also, you have to press vol up and down at the same time, while in stock recovery for it to show the menu.

I hope to be of any help.
[Defy General] corrinti:
1st - what's your stock?

2nd - do u wipe your data at all? When in stock check what's your internal free and do a factory reset from ROM
[Defy General] Sutitan:
If I update through the Defy Rom Updater, does it erase all my current settings/apps/contacts/messages? Im fine on 4-09, but would like to try the lastest rom for the data fix.

Battery life on my red lens defy (GB kernel, MB526 build) was horrible when I first installed the 09/12 nightly. I did two things.

JB kernel

Does anyone know why we cannot have a Jelly Bean (newer linux) kernel installed on our Defy(+), and have to wait for Motorola to release (he surely won't) a new version? It is not possible to take the base JB kernel and port drivers into it?

Thanks for the answer,

[Defy General] ppero196:
Locked bootloader is stopping us from having 3.1 kernel

We can back port some stuff from 3.1 kernel, like it was done with HWA in CM9
[Defy General] vetko:
Could you be please a bit more detailed? (I am a programmer also, although not much familiar in linux programming).

As far as I can understand it, based on this

article, the bootloader loads up the kernel, and based on this

the kernel calls back the bootloader (the locked boot partition's /init) to initialize the high-level OS.

Based on this information, I cannot see why we can't have non-OEM kernels (which possibly would skip loading the locked /init and start off directly with the custom ROM's init - thus we wouldn't need 2ndInit)...

(Sorry, I couldn't post full links, because I'm not yet trusted :) )
[Defy General] theles:
Hi.

Sometimes I have some huge lags on the dialer screens and on sms screens. What could cause that? Is just the poor amount of RAM of the Defy, or could be anything else?
[Defy General] scottdanpor:
I had this too. Depends of course on how many apps you have running.

I finally went back to CM7.2 and it's like I have a new phone! No lag and phone wakes up right away. Honestly I don't miss much from CM10, I use widgetlocker to give me the same lock screen with weather, shortcuts, widgets, etc. Few GUI differences, but the speed is worth it.

When it comes down to it, I think the apps make the phone more than the OS version.
[Defy General] vetko:
Maybe after tweaking a little more around, Quarx can make the final version of CM10 snappier! Don't forget it's not yet ready. Seriously, I like the UI of CM10 better, it is the most clarified and usable among all versions of android. Just everything is in the right place. Looking forward for new nightlies. ;)
[Defy General] arnoldwu:
You should ask this at the development section...

Games lag.

In the latest build many games lag. Don't know why? Also internet is not stable, I am using my home WiFi and after sometime browser starts showing could not load page error. But in all other apps like play store, youtube, etc internet works fine.

[Defy General] maurodon:
I am on the latest cm10 nightly (for defy(+)) and I am having a problem with battery - typical 1%+red led flashing+no charging. I have serached about 20 threads, but I am still not able to find a solution - all the battery fixes, procedures I have found yet don't work for me. (official cm10 thread, workingfixes, older fixes, etc). Since I accidently flashed sbf with bl7 version (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1595013), flashing kernels shown in official CM10 thread is impossible. Anyone have an idea?

The 2g/3g signal icon is grey, but the connection is working almost well. Only google talk seems to have problems. Everything else including browser is working fine. Already tried wiping cache and Delvik.

[Defy General] jonesy17:
Hey everyone,

I'm one of the lucky ones (by the sounds of it) with no problems with the latest 24/9 ROM. Everything works short of the issues stated in the OP.

I've got a red lens defy with defy+ CM10 ROM, CM9 kernel from the ICS days with Walters dht22 kernel flashed over it and justunbean inverted gapps+ quickflash 2.03.

I've been doing 'dirty' installs on every single nightly since the first pre alpha ROM that Quarx did because I hate wiping data, and I haven't flashed the kernel since 14/7.

I'm a complete noob, but could it be as simple as wiping data so much that your phone forgets what to do!!!

I don't know, but Quarx has done an amazing job at keeping this little 'tough phone' so up to date for us, and this defy 'community' is awesome.. except for all the whingers :D

Cheers :beer:

[Defy General] defy_plus:
why in some tutorials for flashing CM10 I see instruction to go in stable recovery and in others - in custom recovery? why when choosing "recovery" from the restart menu, the phone boots in stable recovery? Is it nessessary to uncheck debbuging after instalation of 2nd init (2.3) and to reboot twice? I don't clearly understand the last one - they say choosing normal boot first and after that - which one? or this was only for the older versions? excuse my english if I have mistaken somewhere :D

Last week I installed the 0924 build and I'm pretty happy with stability and performance so, many thanks to the developers. They've done a terrific job in a very short time! :thumbup:

However, a view things bother me. First, some input settings don't seem to be stored after a reboot. In particular, I'm not able to set Swiftkey as default keyboard, nor can I disable speech as an option. If changed, these settings are set to default after every reboot. Also widgets that were not preinstalled are not loaded after reboot. I've tried several launchers with the same effect. I've read on the development thread some people having similar issues with this ROM, but no solution was offered so far. I just wonder why so few people encountered this problems.
