i have tried it mate. i have also tired the ics defy red lense and the white rabbit rom had four of them available to download. none of them have worked. basically as it is now the phone will not stay on without the mcgyver leads and the battery wont charge. i have flashed 6 different battery fixes.

edit: it is strange once i have given it a blast on mcgyver for an hour or so i can then use the phone normally. however the battery is locked at 100 per cent and there is no indication it is charging when a usb lead is plugged in. seriously i have tried 6 of the fixes and none have actually worked.

if you are saying there is a fix for this then i would love to know what it is because i havent found one yet.

edit again!!!: ok this is strange because now when i plug it in to a usb lead the green light appears as if it was charging. very very strange this. i mean like really ****ing weird.

final edit: ok i am officially giving up. it has beaten me and for the first time ever i have got myself into a situation that i cant get out of. who would have thought a simple battery would be the cause of so much ****ing grief. anyway. for total clarity.

i am now running white rabbit rom runs great highly recommended and way quicker than the cm10 efforts that are being worked on at the moment. i have tried 6 battery fixes. none work. i am sometimes able to use the phone without being connected to the mcgyver leads but the battery remains locked at 100 per cent. other times the phone dies and the only way to boot it again is the mcgyver leads. if i do that then battery may change to say 25 per cent or even 75 per cent. basically it is all over the shot. i have tried to install another rom and this leads to the exact same thing. if i turn it on without the mcgyver leads i get the battery error. sometimes when connected to the usb port the phone has the led green light like it is charging then other times it doesnt. it is basically well and truly ****ed up.

so i am giving up. i have wasted quite enough time on a phone i have been thinking of changing as it is. i am gonna buy a sensation as a short term replacement. not as nice as the defy form wise but far faster and with a decent modding community so it will do for now. i will return here every now and then to see if someone comes up with a way to downgrade the bl7 but until that happens the phone is gonna gather dust in my drawer.

i think this thread serves as decent guide as to what shouldnt be done if you want to unbrick your phone (and also includes a few little things that may be missing elsewhere) so hopefully someone can learn from it. cheers all and see you later.
[Defy General] rockmonkey1973:
ok well this is the end of this thread (unless i find a proper working solution).

i was unable to charge the phone unless i used the mcyver trick. basically the only way it would accept a charge was if the mcgyver leads were connected. however the battery would charge once the mcgyver leads were in place but stays locked at 100 per cent no matter what i do. it may be the rom i am using but every time i tried another i got the battery error.

i have now bought an external battery charger and spare battery. it works a treat. i simply use the charger to charge one battery and use the other battery to power the phone. when the battery dies i simply switch them around and use the phone as normal.

this way i am no longer having to boot the phone using mcgyver and the only thing i am missing is the ability to charge the battery internally or tell how much battery life is actually left.

so all told all is well that sort of ends well. at least i can carry on using the defy. i was looking at buying another phone but they are all either too big or too slippy/ fragile in the hand. the only one i would like to buy is the orange san diego but there is no root and even worse there is no sim unlock. so for the time being i will stick with the nearly indestructible defy and hope that moto see sense and release a four inch, 8mp onboard camera and better screen carbon copy. fingers crossed.

I have same Problem.

I have green lens defy and flash Full sbf dfp 231 (BL7).

my battery and camera not work.

i use 2 battery and external charger. ( like u )

only way is use froyo kernel on BL7.

if u find way Send me massage.
[Defy General] rockmonkey1973:
will do mate.

i did find another battery fix yesterday. all it did was change the value to 85 per cent. i have now tired 7 battery fixes. none of them have worked. thankfully the camera works (but the camera on this phone is so bad that i rarely if ever use it anyway).

anyways if i get a fix i will let you know and would appreciate you doing the same.
[Defy General] rockmonkey1973:
ok if it is just the battd.bin file that is the problem here can this not be manually adjusted through es file explorer by editing the text. would that fool the phone into thinking the battery is an mb526 battery? what i mean is can i not just get someone to tell me what there battd.bin file says and then i just edit it in a text editor and set the permissions?

basically although the phone is running fine using the extrenal battery charger and switching the batterys when they run out of charge not knowing how much battery is left is a bit of a pain.
[Defy General] jalal-jap:
when flash redlens battery fix, we flash that file (battd.bin and libbbatso).

change permissions not work for me.
[Defy General] rockmonkey1973:
yes i know but because none of them have worked what about manually adjusting the file and testing it out through trial and error. if it is a text file how about just experimenting by changing the different values of the text? i am assuming it is a file that can be altered in a text editor. in fact i am gonna take a look at the files tomorrow when i have more time and see if there is some way of altering the file through es file explorer.

I am joining the club. If someone figures something out, let me know :)
[Defy General] rockmonkey1973:
ah welcome mate! not the best club to be in but now that you are here make yourself at home. me i have totally given up. i am gonna buy the new intel moto razr i when it is released in the uk which is the first phone i have come across that is a worthy successor to the defy..

i will keep the defy for a spare and hope that someone comes up with a way to downgrade the bl7 bootloader and then if it happens sell it. i wont hold my breath though.

if i find an answer i woill be sure to post here and will appreciate the other members of the gang to do the same.

It will take some time until there is a functional custom kernel that will fix our issue, but its still a very possitive message :)
[Defy General] rockmonkey1973:
yep cheers mate. i did read that and it will sort us right out but i have a feeling it will take a bit of time to get up and running. once it does work though i have a feeling it will fix the battery problem. heres hoping quarx or someone spends a bit oif time on it and gets it sorted asap.

Mcgyvern with Nokia

Used my Old nokia E60 with a ByPass cable from phone battery contacts to the mb525 battery.

Nokia battery uses the same 3.7 like mb525 battery.

(ByPass Cable = Cable from a defect gfx fan worx nicely)

[picture of cable look at google pictures for lan wol cable]

Cut the cable from fan and unclip the little white plastic housing,

than squize the metal a little bit for mb525 akku. fits and hold perfect :victory:

Undrill and unshild the other side and connect the black to - and red to + contact in the nokia battery bay on mb525 red to + \ black to - .

(pay attention to insulation of the two).

Good Luck

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
I'm running ICS and this problem has never happened before. For some unknown reason I've noticed that media storage is always running in the background making the CPU run at max clock all the time, which is killing my battery.

I think it might be unable to scan everything for some reason as quite alot of my photos are missing from my gallery.

Clearing the data of media storage stops it running, but I lose all the photos from the gallery and all notifications. I can use an app called Scanmedia to get all the notifications back, and only some of the photos for some reason. But media storage continues to run in background draining my battery.

Like I said earlier I think it might be a scanning bug. Unable to scan all media, so it doesn't stop scanning. That's just my guess though.

How can I fix this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
I deleted all .nomedia files on my sd card. It hasn't fixed the problem...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Its because you have .nomedia files on some large folders that the media scanner will be busy checking them till its finished, so deleting them will only make it worse.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
I think the only way to permanently fix the problem is by re-flashing the rom from scratch.

I managed to find a reasonably good fix anyway. I installed startup manager and disabled storage media. Which only disables the media scanner service and keeps the rest of it running, which is needed for downloading apps from the Play Store, etc.

I also installed QuickPic to be able to find/view all my images and videos. Thanks to the media scanner bug the default gallery could only find a small selection of my images.

more than 10 attempts were made to enter the pin.

take this device to your carrier to have it unlocked.

I think its americian and on the at&t network.

Is there anything i can do to get it working?

Thanks,

Hi Guys,

I Flashed my XT910 ME Retail with the leaked ICS builds ..Tried Multiple Fastboot Files of various regions and it goes through fine but after a few minutes the phone just goes into boot loop!:confused:. I've even tried factory resetting/wiping cache etc with no luck :(..Also tried Installing the BlackWidow ROM through Bootmenu (cant even tell you how much of a pain it was trying to get it to convert in time before the bootloop) but again no go..Stupid thing just reboots and goes into boot loop...Please PLEASE can somebody help me out.I am losing my mind here! Will really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

Still stuck

Guys some help here?Still boot looping regardless of the ROM i try (whether custom or official/leak). The only ROM which is stable for me is the CM10 one posted by wanggjghost but since wi-fi or data is not working in that one for now its pointless..anyone have any suggestions?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] killerT721:
So will we still have the IMEI issue even with the unlocked bootloader when flashing AOSP? I know we can fully back up our efs files but jw if its still gonna be an issue? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
The IMEI issue is unrelated to the bootloader as other carrier versions have experienced the same problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asmallchild:
The two are not related. I'm not sure people are entirely sure what causes the IMEI issue.

Most claim it's from flashing AOSP roms however others have reported the same issue even when flashing stock ROMS or flashing nandroids.

I'm assuming if the devs here are bright enough to crack the bootloader, a fix for the IMEI issue will arise soon.

My limited understanding thus far is that you can back up the IMEI, you can restore the IMEI with or without a backup, however there may be a problem with the phone roaming after all is said and done.

Personally I'm holding tight a little longer to see if there is a resolution to the IMEI issue

Hello. I'm currently running a cm10 kang ROM but every gaaps package I've flashed has the old ICS calendar widget with the washed out colors. I was wondering if anyone knew of a gaaps package that had the vibrant JB widget or just a .apk I can install.

EDIT Ok, I got it working. I took the .apk from a stock Jellybean ROM and copied into system.

So,

1. download the .apk here. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4b...DZEUmgydHRPUTQ

2. Use root explorer or something that's able to access /system and navigate to system/app and go to CalendarGoogle.apk and move it to your desktop or your SD card. (personally I deleted it since if something went wrong I could just reflash the gaaps package to fix it.)

3. Using root explorer copy the .apk I posted to /system/app and make sure you change permissions. (I personally have them all set to read, write, and execute)

3.5 If you try to click on the app no that it's copied it will not install, just wanted to let you know that this seems normal.

4. Reboot

5. Once your phone has booted back up try adding the widget and it SHOULD be the more vivid colored widget!

[HTC Amaze 4G] jasonftfw:
So the past few weeks I've noticed my battery draining super fast. I used to be at work all day with a fully charged battery and have at least 60% left on a day I used it heavily.

Now I will be losing almost 20% within 30 minutes from a full charge. And it seems too that as it gets lower the consumption gets worse. Eventually the phone will obviously power off.

The one day when it powered off, I got to my car and plugged into my charger to build up some power before turning it back on. While it was still plugged in, it would not turn on. I then pulled the charge cable out and same thing as well, it will not power up. The charge light (orange) stays lit and if you touch the soft keys, the phone will vibrate. The only way to be able to turn on the phone is to pull the battery so that the light turns off and then it can power up.

I tried a spare battery and it does the same thing.

My phone is rooted, but everything is stock aside from the recovery.

I'd appreciate any and all help as this is super annoying.
