Samsung Galaxy Y vs Motorola Defy

I have owned a Galaxy Y since may 2012, my first smartphone and android, and it just rules how much I have learned from Android and the quality of apps I can install on it, but lately I am feeling that I need a bigger screen for other apps and sometimes I feel that I need a phone with better "shock" resistance, because of my clumsiness.

I´ve seen on the newspapers and offer of a Motorola Defy for aproximately US$200.00, and taking into consideration that a new Galaxy Y is being sold at stores around US$150.00, I am lookinf forward to sell my beloved Galaxy Y in order to acquire a Motorola Defy, but I am not so sure because of the Defy being a year older, less battery life and using Froyo as stock OS.

In XDA I haven´t found an specific thread in which I can update a Defy to at least Gingerbread, but maybe I just need to search better.

What would you recommend me? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TingTingin:
Didn't know the specs of defy so I Googled it was good until here

That right there is a big no it comes with eclair and is upgradable to froyo those are very outdated hell even gingerbread is outdated don't buy it an alarming number of apps use gingerbread as a cut off point when it comes to compatibility then it uses a cortex a8 even if it was a9 I would have said no

Anyways what's this "new" galaxy y details please

And remove shock resistantance from your list that's just a sales ploy don't buy into it if u want just buy a case

But am gonna recommend some phones now if the price is right buy them instead

Galaxy s2

though its a little bit old it has very good specs considering also it can be upgraded to ics or jellybean if u like

Galaxy S3 mini

A mini version of the galaxy S3 it has a dual core processor and comes with jb out of the box

Galaxy Ace 2

can't remember the specs on this but I remember it being a good price and having decent 1's (based on the price)

HTC one vx

Good for its price has dual core cpu comes with ics or 1gb ram

Galaxy nexus

Developer interest is very active also it has some great specs

Remember I said only if the price is right

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] vodka86:
Well, that was straight to the point. Thanks for highlighting the processor issue and also compatibility with apps.

It seems I need to stay with my Galaxy Y (s5360) and keep saving for a better future phone.

The "new" (its more recent than the Defy) Galaxy Y, has an 830 MHz ARMv6 processor, 290 MB Ram and 190 MB of internal storage.

At least I am using Hyperion Rom and it just runs smoothly at anything I throw at it (software of course) until now.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TingTingin:
That those are the specs for the current galaxy y
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] nikufellow:
wait ... you said defy !!

Go for it !

no thinking twice !

its one of those lucky devices to get the support of a vast dev community -

see this - android 4.2.1 ported to defy - no major bugs !

One of the greatest devs of xda community Quarx is on defy forums !

Have a look here and enlighten yourself with its un parlleled development .

Leave development alone still defy is worth every penny you pay for it especially since you own SGY !

ps - just my two cents ;)

Hey,

Using now Spotify on Android...

Where does Spotify stores the downloaded songs? I searched all ready in his Spotify cache, but didn't found anything...

Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] klect:
In the 'downloads' folder, which can only be accesed by computer. Basically, if you download music, put it in playlists so you can listen to them on your phone.

Or if you mean where it stores your songs on your device, simply in the 'user' directory of spotify.

Click your name, and there should be .mp3 files. Though they haven't got their original name, so it's basically useless.

Hi, I'm afraid my audio jack is dead on my S3 and when I opened the phone I saw it was pretty easy to just replace the top part. I was wondering if the part # SAMO-I9300-05 on the site tvc-mall.com (sorry can't post link) will work on my SGH-T999V (Canadian Videotron)?

Thanks
[General Accessories] drinian-n:
Trust that site? No idea, I don't know it. Replace that part? I would be very catious, maybe it's worth the extra cost to go to a repair shop and let them do the job, because if they ruin the phone that's their problem, if you ruin your phone yourself in the process you have to pay for a new one...

Maybe you still have warranty on the phone? Check it before doing anything that could void warranties...
[General Accessories] JaimePG:
I recommend you to bring the S3 to the Samsung Official Service because you could think it's something easily to repair, but you don't know if it will work or will cause some problems to your phone. And the S3 is so expensive to "play" with it if you don't know what you are doing ;)

Hey, guys!

Thought I'd go ahead and share this .apk with the rest of you. If you ever ran MIUI on your previous devices, you'd probably agree that music player is probably one of the best looking players out there. I loved the UI and decided to install it on my Note II, which runs perfectly.

APK file attached below, as well as some screenshots posted:

If installing by any file explorer doesn't work out, then simply push the .apk by adb.

To do so, reboot into recovery and from a command terminal, enter the following commands:

adb shell mount /system
adb push MIUIMusic2.3.2.apk /system/app/MIUIMusic.apk

I'd advise fixing permissions first before rebooting back into system, just in case...

Hello

I have a Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660M it is rooted, unlocked, and my current provider is fido. I was searching the forums and internet and i couldnt find a single thread on how to add a language onto the phone. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. ( Also the language i want to add is "Slovak" aka "Slovenčina "

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
Actually adding languages is a painful task.

First you must deodex your ROM

Then Decompile every single app

Then get the language resources to fit with each specific app --> That goes into a lot more detail...

And then recompile that 1 app, and now onto the rest 20+ apps or so...

You might as well make a custom ROM while your at it. Lol

But it's better to flash a custom ROM. They usually have all the languages you need (especially CM7)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Comrade_Zaitsev:
Thank you for the quick reply, and I am not experienced enough to even begin with such a large task. I guess i shall have to deal with the language i have. Thanks again though much appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gorkma:
Hi,

I am trying to compile ftdio_sio.ko and usbserial.ko modules for the samsung galaxy tab without succes. I get error when installing the modules:

# insmod ftdi_sio.ko
insmod: init_module 'ftdi_sio.ko' failed (Exec format error)

And this dmesg message:

# dmesg
ftdi_sio: no symbol version for module_layout

I think that the problem is that I generating the modules with differente kernel version:

This is the stock kernel version (uname -a): 2.6.36-P6200XXKL7-CL604659 #3 SMP PREEMPT armv7l

And this is what I have in my modules (strings drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.ko | grep vermagic):

The differences are the #3 and the armv7l instead of ARMv7.

¿How can y solve my problem? ¿Is a .config problem?

Thank you.

I rooted my 1.85 device via the one click method.

I want to stay with a stock ROM, but need to get to 2.20 because the multi tasking on 1.85 is so bad. 2.20 update OTA fails. I tried to RUU to 2.20 but continually receive a low battery error (error 120 I believe) even with 100% battery level

My device currently shows Tampered & Locked.

Any advice?

**EDIT**

When I run Root Checker it shows that my device is rooted.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] utkaar099:
Trust me, you don't want to update to 2.20. Stay on 1.85, flashing roms is much easier on it. If you really do not like the multitasking I'm sure there are some roms that can fix/make it better :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pfaudere:
I'm okay with installing a new ROM, but I'm concerned that the status of my phone (showing locked/tampered) will create issues when I go to unlock the bootloader.

When you unlock the bootloader you lose all your data, it sounds bad at first but in the end it's worth it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pfaudere:
I'm comfortable losing all my data, as I'm a long time rooter of devices (since the G1 in fact). What I'm worried about is the state my phone is in (showing locked/tampered) and how that might impact my attempt to unlock the bootloader.

Thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Ignore it. "Tampered" just means you're rooted; "Locked" means your bootloader is locked. When you unlock it, it will read "Unlocked." It has no effect on anything; it's just a flag for the service people to know what they've got, not that they appear to care about it based on the number of people who have returned unlocked phones without any trouble.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faulty_machine:
My first post here.

So, I got a used Nexus S (i9020a), with bootloader already unlocked and superuser installed.

It’s good to have rooted device, but I am sure the previous owner put a bunch of junk on it already.

I feel like starting fresh by writing a factory image as described here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1572307

But, I am ambivalent about overwriting bootloader and radio; what if I didn’t like the factory image for some reason? How easy to go back on bootloader and radio, not just android os? There is a lot of info about writing rooting, backing up nandroid, and writing ROM’s, but I can’t find a good guide on backing up a bootloader image and baseband image, so that I can just fastboot flash to the original, if need be.

Then, I found this

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16008439&postcount=198

which I followed (from adb though, not on Terminal Emulator) and could save an img file (whatever in it).

And I found this

http://roguedroid.blogspot.com/2011/12/booting-unbootable-nexus-s.html

So, if I can save mtd5 (radio) into an image, I can save mtd0 (bootloader) and mtd6 (efs) too into an image, right? (or every partition if I wanted to)

So, that’s what I did, and now I have img files of mtd0, mtd5, mtd6.

My question is; can I just fastboot flash these images (or of any other partitions) back onto my NS later to get back to exactly what it is right now? (well, not entirely, but exact bootloader, radio, and efs)

Is there anyway to confirm these files are proper images of these partitions and fully functional, before actually flashing them?

Or, alternatively, I have nandroid backup of my NS current status. Does this include complete image of bootloader and radio as well? If so, I could just restore this nandroid to get the original bootloader and radio, right?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
I can assure that you won't be stuck anywhere. The fastboot method of flashing is considered as most relevant.

The NANdroid just backs up the OS, the bootloader and radio are components which are written to the flash memory permanently. While a simple factory reset is a better solution if you want to stick to the OS version delivered to you.

But if in case you are planning for factory image flashing, this guide will help you. Make sure to follow each and every step as stated and I assure that you won't get into any mess. :good:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faulty_machine:
Thank you for the guide and your assurance.

I am less concerned about getting stuck while writing a factory image than something going wrong trying to go back to my current bootloader and radio after writing the factory image.

I am very interested in knowing whether images obtained by these commands

"dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd0 of=/sdcard/bootloader.img"

"dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/sdcard/radio.img"

"dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd6 of=/sdcard/efs.img"

can be used to flash my phone to revert back to the original bootloader, baseband, and efs (or any other partitions).

Since nandroid doesn't contain bootloader nor radio, I am looking for a way to backup my current bootloader & radio, and to restore them if I want.

Would the images above work?

Any way to test these images without actually flashing them?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
There is no way to test them until you don't flash them.

If you can successfully extract the images, then they will surely work, undoubtedly.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madd0g:
Why wasting time backuping the bootloader and radio images, when they're freely available on the Google Nexus images site ? Not to mention those are safe to flash and have no errors.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

You don't need to jump bootloaders and radios to switch ROM's, just keep the latest on (well unless you want to eventually **** up your phone sometime, with unneeded tasks). No ROM flashed in recovery overwrites those, you can also skip the flashing of the radio and bootloader from a factory image with just using the "update -w update.zip" part.

You're overthinking here.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faulty_machine:
I agree I tend to overthink. It's a waste of time most of the time, but saves my ass every once in a while.

It's like buying an insurance. It's a complete waste of money until the next time a disaster hits (which, may never happen).

Anyway, the site you quoted is where I got the factory image for my NS. I already tried "update -w update.zip" and got error messages

because my bootloader and radio are of different versions than the ones included in the tar from Google. Apparently, their ROM's (zipped part)

are signed to work only with the versions of bootloader and radio included in the tar (my bootloader is XXKL1 and raio is UCKE1).

So, if I want the ROM, I have to flash their bootloader and radio.

If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have thought about backing up bootloader and radio, much less flashing them back and forth.

I apologize if I am missing something here. If your bootloader and radio are different versions than what Google include in the tar,

is there a way to flash just the zip?

Another side question is, after you flash the bootloader, radio, and zip that go together in the tar, can you flash different versions of bootloader

and radio and keep the ROM without problem?
