when going back from CM10, just wipe data/cache in the stock recovery so that the filesystem gets properly formatted, then restore nandroid. Should work fine.
[Defy General] jennifer_d:
Try "Fix Permissions" in CWM recovery.

Hi All,

I am yet to install this ROM, and before I do I have one question regarding the RIL bug. For those who experience the bug, how often does it appear during your everyday use? I'd rather not use a rom which automatically reboots itself every hour if that is how often it occurs.

Apologies if this has been asked before. I tried my best to search this and other threads to see if it had been posed previously.

Thanks

Help CM10 Defy

I installed CM10 on my motorola defy . everything works fine except for some problems, if you can help me.

Several applications no longer included in my phone as:

Base vehicle, Docking Station, 3G Mobile Hotspot, Swype, DLNA.

The location service with the motorola site, of my phone does not work.

Motorola PC Tools does not work.

the address book (Contact) is not well developed as that which existed before.

when I receives a call, the phone rings but I can not receive the call (the screen does not display the icon and it is receiving hangs).

if you can help me

Thanks
[Defy General] Kayant:
Most of the the apps and features you mentioned are Motorola stuff.... Which means they are either not included in AOSP which is pure Android but in this case its been customized by the CM team.....

The best way to get around this is to download some apps from the play store that provide the functionality you listed... you can get most of them back I think.....

The advanced setting also brings back some moto stuff.....

Let's Go ^_^

[Defy General] NomadRip:
I've gotten the same thing every time I try this process, and I have not seen any solution or find anyone to tell me what I must be doing wrong.

(Red Lens DEFY and I don't care about warranty or downgrading back to old versions, so this should be especially easy.) That Bricked walk-thru thread was how I got it back to usable last time, and the setup I've been using, but I've not been able to install any CM Mod things without going into this boot loop. :mad:
[Defy General] Quza:
I flashed Quarx newest nightly yesterday, after the first reboot the Mediaserver problem seems to have solved itself. (edit: nope, mediaserver is still #2 in usage plots). But the phone seems to be slow, the performance is very poor. I run it on 1200mhz and "interactive", it isn't usually that laggy, is it?

I will try to flash it later again and will start clean this time. Is there anything I should know? Else I'll just flash a new SBF (recommendations?), root it and install quarx' rom.
[Defy General] zeehe:
Would you please point me at where to find the "rendering effects"? Not in the Display section at least, that's where I found them in CM9.

Just spoke to Quarx, who said that the "rendering effects" are not in CM10 or CM10.1. :( Sad news for us who need it, CM9 is the last version that has it. Back to CM9!

Hi, just a quick question. I'm on 17.02, and about to upgrade to the latest version. Do I still need to delete /data/misc/wifi as it was suggested when the new wifi driver came out or is that no longer necessary (as the info to do so has now been removed from the dev thread's OP?)
[Defy General] Nailtrail:
Never mind, I went ahead and made the upgrade without a /data wipe, wifi works all right, so I guess that's not needed anymore.

Quick warning: I came from CM7 and flashed CM10.1 (130315) + minmal gapps after factory reset.

1. problem: I got stuck on the WELCOME screen because some Settings Page was FCing all the time: Had to pull the battery.

2. problem: So I tried to restore my CM7 Orange Backup TWRP backup. First I converted back to ext3, than I got a hot reboot when I switched to Backup/Restore Menu and after that everything worked fine except: When I rebooted after Restore, my phone ended up booting into Bootmenu!

I had to start from scratch with an sbf. Don't know what went wrong but it was not good because I didnt have a PC at hand. Well... just wanted to tell!

custom recovery missing

Guys,

I did something stupid :silly:. I was upgrading from Defy MIUI GB 2.1.7 to 4.1.2 of Quark (20121018 build). I did a factory reset but I forgot to do a Wipe Cache and Divalik. I directly installed NIGHTY, kernel update, and gapps

Now I am not able to boot in custom recovery ( neither from the 4.1.2 menus or using power + volume -). The phone is working fine though. What should i do to get the custom recovery working?
[Defy General] ricketyclik:
Telephony layer instability

I've been using the 2013-03-18 nightly (I was advised that this a good one because wifi became a problem - battery/sleep issues - after this) for about a month on my Defy+ and it's been quite stable. However, over the last couple of weeks I've been getting more and more forced reboots because the telephony layer has become unstable, or some such. At first it was once every few days, now it's about 2 times per day.

If the phone just rebooted I wouldn't mind so much, but it goes to the bootmenu and sits there, because it's waiting for a response from me, and I don't know it's happening because the phone's in my belt pouch.

When the phone sits in bootmenu for a while it gets pretty hot and battery drain is significant. And of course no incoming calls or texts.

Is this - the telephony layer instability - a known issue? Is there a solution?

Thanks in advance.
[Defy General] atulclassic:
Yes..i did upgraded from CM10 to CM10.1 with a clean wipe successfully and had no issues with new ROM..i m loving it..installed MIUI v5 also..but came back to Quarx CM10.1.
[Defy General] frozenwaverider:
Try wipe cache(stock & custom) as well as dalvik, it has helped others

Make sure correct baseband

If that doesn't work, new SIM card

Good luck

[Defy General] ricketyclik:
Thanks FWR, I've just done this and will see how it goes.

As an aside, I've got a query about the cache wiping process: I assumed that my app, messaging and call log data would be wiped, so I did a custom data backup before wiping the caches. Then, when I rebooted, the phone went into a thing called "Upgrading Android", during which it said it was "Optimizing applications" and said it was doing them one by one.

When my phone came up fully into its rebooted state, all of my data was present. So, was it there because it automatically restored the data backup, or was the data backup unnecessary?
[Defy General] frozenwaverider:
Hi, you didn't need to do the backup, however it is always good to have fresh backups in case something should go wrong

Fingers crossed it helps with RIL bug for you :)

MB525 Red lense
[Defy General] cyrusct82:
This is not helping with the RIL bug.

It's a hardware problem.

When the RIL bug appears it means that the phone can't read the SIM card and is temporarily solved with a reboot.

Read this post and the link to the thread posted in it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41018302 if you want to know more.
[Defy General] frozenwaverider:
Ok, not sure why I don't get it anymore then? I used to get it a lot with stock ROM & CM7.2 only I didnt know what it was or get any messages regarding the problem, I just wouldn't have signal & had to reboot as toggling airplane mode didnt help

I have data on all the time 3G/2G auto & use Wi-Fi when at home, haven't had the bug for over a month & previous to wiping caches was getting it daily when I passed through poor reception on the way home?

I use my ph on the internet a lot & make many calls every day

Guess I am lucky then???

noob approaching CM10 installation

Hi all, i'm planning to upgrade my defy+ from stock 2.3.4 to CM10.

It seems to me that best compromise between stability/performance/bugs is the version of march 18th, so I downloaded that one.

Now i have 2 questions:

1- gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip or gapps-jb-20120726-minimal.zip ?

2- Is the installation procedure in the first post still OK?

tnx
[Defy General] frozenwaverider:
Minimal works great ;)

MB525 Red lense
[Defy General] manualle:
thank you for sharing

thank you to all you guys, following your precious advices I got JB on my defy+ encountering absolutely no issues.

All the procedure lasted no more than 15min, so considering that it was my first time installing a custom rom, I can say that if one takes his time to gather all the info required -before starting- there is no reason for something to go wrong.

Aiming to help other newbies, here is where i come from and what I did.

DEFY+ 2.3.4 vodafone italy.

Rooted with SuperOneClick, have 2ndInit installed v2.3

In bootmenu, Overclock was enabled, all modules loaded, but frequencies and vsel left stock.

uSDcard is a 8GB trascend class6

Performed a "backup all" nandroid backup and moved to a safe place

wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache.

Installed zip from SD card: CM10 of march 18th

Installed zip from SD card: minimal gapps

wiped both cache and dalvik again.

restarted: immediately red led turned on while cyanogen logo moving on screen, then phone seemed to reboot by itself, red led turned off, same cyano logo for a while then sim PIN request, absolutely pain-free.

Thank you all again for sharing:good:
[Defy General] ricketyclik:
Your suggestion seems to have worked for me over the last couple of days - from three reboots per day to none so far. Maybe it's a bit of maintenance that needs to be done from time to time.

I did do one other thing - I had the baseband set to Central Europe. I'm in Australia, and I changed it to Australia for my carrier. Same frequencies - 900/2100, so I don't know whether that had an effect or not.
[Defy General] frozenwaverider:
Thank you for reporting back!

Good to hear, the jury is still out on the wipes but it can't hurt, my feeling is when the ROM is first installed it defaults to Europe baseband, then we select the closest to our region & hope for the best, it may be there are some fragments left from default baseband causing issues for some people???

Changing baseband is most likely what helped you the most though

I used my stock nandroid backup & extracted the original baseband files then replaced the files in /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default

make sure to set permissions to rwxr-xr-x(I forgot once & ended up in a bootloop)

I had to do that as I couldn't find anything the same for NZ(even though frequencies are the same) my ph would not switch to 2G at all, now it's seamless :)

hi all I disabled WPA+WPA2 mixed mode on my DG834GT and things seem to be better now.

I backed down to WPA only mode, pre-shared key

bye

edit: no way, now disconnects again.. trying with no security at all, just mac filtering

edit2: noo way either.. defy still can't connect to DG834GT. But connects with no issues to a TP-LINK 3G router configured with WPA+WPA2 mixed, so the problem may be in the Netgear router.
[Defy General] manualle:
temporarily solved by applying on the phone a fixed IP address on home's SSID, while leaving DHCP active on the router, but with IP address reservation to the Defy's MAC address.

I think it's an uncompatibility between DG834GT's dhcp server and defy's dhcp client, because everything it's fine with another router (TP-LINK 3G)
[Defy General] manga_blue:
I just tried the fixed IP address via a TP-LINK T8840 router with DHCP enabled going out through a TP-LINK WA8109N wireless access point with DHCP disabled. Then changed the access point to DHCP enabled with fixed IP address. Neither fixed the problem. I'd say the problem is in the wireless protocols, not DHCP. Whatever it is it kills networking for all other devices on the network immediately when you enable wifi on the phone and all devices are OK again as soon as you switch wifi off on the phone.

CM10 4.1.2 Quarx 20130516 on MB525. 801n/b/g access point
[Defy General] diug:
I've had the same problem with a d-link dir-600 router, but it was solved after i updated to CM10-20130326- 2init. Now i'm on the latest - 20130516 and still no problems.
[Defy General] manga_blue:
I've been playing around a bit more. It's sort of like short range jamming.

It seems that the wifi on the phone only affects limits/kills performance of another device when the phone is close to the other device and both the phone and the other device are far enough from the wireless access point that they don't have full signal strength.

in my opinion GB rom's are good choice for Defy/Defy+:)

In the last 2 versions (at least) the proximity sensor FLIPS during phone calls!! If you want to "wake up" the screen during a phone call you have to place your finger on the proximity sensor for a second and the screen will light up.

I also re-downloaded the ROM in case there was an issue with the first download, flashed over top with cleans

I always clean cache stock then custom, dalvik, install ROM then custom cache & dalvik again

I even tried factory reset from stock recovery(lost all settings, lucky for backup)

You are getting battery drops, not battery drain.

drop==leap in battery percentage

MAIN explanation for battery drops are old batteries. (i'd say that at least 80% of the defy users got their phone >1year).

In fact checking the forum, i see these kind of problem it's spreading evenly around on all rom (GB,ICS,JB)

i too have battery drops, but i've not changed/touched my rom in months. (CM7.2)

Thats what i hope too, but it never got fixed, against the answer how the battery management Works .. and it is fixed now.

I think just CM10 doesnt detect the different battery Type, even didnt see in the code other values than 4.167

if that finaly once is resolved i would be happy.

[Defy General] Hasuris:
It's a known issue. I have high hopes, that it's going to be fixed soon. It was introduced when Quarx dumped the motorola usb junk. You could downgrade to a build predating this for a fix. I think the phone will charge when there is an ACTIVE connection via usb. Not sure though
