I think the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 it's a nice replacement...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kye04:
It depends alot on what u expect....

I like defy because it`s size...i do not need 2 hands to handle it...

All the other phones are bigger. Defy has the size of a normal 3,5` of any other phone....but it has the display of 3,7`

Also no competition regarding battery it it`s sizes...

For me it is a matter of size and defy will always win...

I gave up an Desire X and an Atrix 4g for a Defy +
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogier666:
Thanx for the suggestions.

The HTC Desire X could be a good Defy replacement if it would fit some more pixels in its 4" screen, but at 400x800 its resolution is no match for the Defy. And it only has two 3G frequencies.

Xperia P & U have lots of 3G frequencies, but Sony likes to waste a lot of space below the display. Even so they only managed to fit in a 1300 mAh battery. You can't even pop a charged spare into an Xperia P unless you bring a screwdriver and kill your warranty. And it looks like Sony hates removable memory cards. With only 16 GB (Xperia P) and 8 GB (Xperia U) internal memory the lack of a microSD slot is definitely a deal breaker.

So I guess I'll keep looking for a Defy replacement a bit longer.

If Motorola would make a 4" version of their RAZR i/M so they could make it a cm shorter, and make the battery removable so you can revive a dead phone with a charged spare battery they'd have a winner.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogier666:
The Sony Xperia SX would be a good model to build on. If Sony adds 1 or 2 mm width and/or thickness to fit a bigger battery, and add european frequencies (it's japanese only now) they'd have a very good Defy replacement.

AW: [Q] Which new phone to replace old Defy?

If mine dies this time I'll buy a new defy....... ;)

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pjenkys:
Atrix 4G is high-end Defy, but I don't know...on Jeally Bean bad camera, no HWA...IMO bad upgrade for a long time. I really like Motorola Razr M and Xiaomi Mi2. They are little bigger, but I think it's still OK. But what about I really scared is digitizer. If you damaged Defy display, you can buy new digitezer on Ebay for 8$ and replace by yourselve. If you damage Razr M or similar handset, you can buy a new phone :/

Edit: And Motorola make 4" Razr M -> Razr D3.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nostupidthing:
the defy seems to be showing its age and for the next replacement, perhaps a sony life-proof model or the next motorola successor? moto will be doing some releases later this year i believe.

anyhow, i want a small size and portable phones instead of 5" gigantic screens.

thx.

p.s. how about Sony Xperia V? is it well supported by cyanogenmod?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkscfh:
So, Sony is the way to go? :P
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
RAZR M has an edge to edge display design which makes it smaller compared to other phones with same size display. You can easily use it single handedly.

And as far as performance is considered, the KRAIT inside it makes it far better than xperia P or U.

Removable battery needs a little more space, and when every manufacturer is trying to make their device slimmer, I think we'll be seeing more and more of 'unibody' phones so try to cope up with it..:thumbup:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kye04:
I have a Razr I , the brother of Razr M .

It is ok, but if it was 4` not 4.3` it would be better...

Motorola RAZR D3 XT919 is the perfect one, the problem is they made it for Brasil only...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bone101:
I would prefer RAZR D3 xt920 bc of dual sim ....

But not aviable in EU, cant find a shop with google for it , nothing on ebay......

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nostupidthing:
the just announced xperia zr sounds good too, but probably more expensive than xperia v, guess about >450usd w/o contract. their (zr and v) size is similar despite zr has a 4.6" screen (0.3" larger) but zr is a tad heavier (about 20g), zr has a bigger battery 2300 mah vs 1750mah).

zr has quad cpu and 2gb ram, v has dual cpu and 1gb ram.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kye04:
Big phones sucks big time....

In my opinion the maximum best display is 4` . In this case Droid Razr d3 is perfect
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bone101:
Yes , for me to

If i could buy it in europ

But if it should be water&dust resist it should have a cover for usb slot and (a) good protected speaker(s ) , against iron nickel cobalt Ddust

:D

If mine die l, i buy a new defy

Low cost good hardware and the best developers!!!!!

PS

Razr D3 XT 920 dual sin, comes with Android 4.1.2

No usb cover

But a good choice

Xperia v is HUGE compared to Razr I or Razr M ...

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K3n H1mur4:
XPeria V is the phone I'm going as my Defy's replacement. It's a tidy outdated (even though it has only 6 months), but it has good 3G and 4G support (it even supports brazilian 4G, which is almost the only place in the world using crappy 2600 MHz for LTE), great screen (4.3" and 720p, take that Galaxy S2!), great camera (though XPeria S's one looks better on GSMArena's comparison, even being older and having a MP less), card slot, and, more importantly, is water and dust-resistant, but, differently from our Defy, it's IP-57 certified.

It also has great community support (official CM support isn't that important, I'll assure you), so it looks like it's a great phone on every single way.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spotja:
Because of my Defy's great dev support, my first priority when looking for a phone has been future cm support. But doesn't the Xperia V's TFT display worry you? The colours look a lot washed compared to IPS and AMOLED displays. Have you considered the HTC One X?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spotja:
Got the Xperia v. This thing is damn fast.

Hi, I know I'm late... but I'm still using my Defy, and now getting a bit desperate for a replacement...

Looks pretty identails to Sony V except with wireless charging included.

My s5 had problems and I was few days back on my Defy+- Original 2.3 rom. I must say, its 2017, but everything worked, market, sync... even dowloaded word documents I could open with no problem. shazam too.. everything works :D

Even comparing to s5 have its advantages. Sound is way louder and I could not miss any notification. Vibre is also double stronger.

Only viber needed downgrade to old 4.3 version because memory limitation. Was too slow but worked.

If defy had 1 gm memory an dual core cpu, It would still be my main phone.

Hi I have a friend at work who has the sprint samsung galaxy s2. I need to order a spare battery and charger for her but I want to make sure I am getting the right one. I forgot the sph # I think it said sphd 710 but not too sure it is definitly the sgs2 thou. If it is not this phone can anyone tell me what the sph# is for the sgs2 or if sprint has a name for it.

It is a real pain in the butt with theses phones I own the tmo s2 and it is called the hercules and the att version is called the skyrocket and att also has the intnatinal one veision only has the international I think it is soooo confusing. Thats why I am happy that my sgs3 and even better my galaxy note2 only have one basic design and the only difference is the rom. I say bravo to samsung for tellin the carriers to shove it.

Hey everyone

I downloaded and installed the jellybean ota successfully to my CDMA razr maxx xt912 the day the leak came out. Everything was running smooth and safestrap was installed. Then I tried to install a theme and everything went bad! The phone can only boot to fastboot because the jb ota leak didn't have a stock recovery.

Since the jelly bean fast boot files aren't out I just bought a used gnex from my friend and have been loving it but I want to get my razr up and running..

I have tried rsdlite and the utility tools to try and bring it back to ICS and nothing works so far.. Any ideas?

I can't boot into recovery to wipe the phone or install anything because there is no stock recovery on the jb ota I have.. All the phone does is boot to fastboot so that method won't work for me.

The stock recovery shouldn't be over written. Access it the same way you do for fast boot

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] green_EK:
HI,

I just wanted to upgrade my 4.0.4 note to 4.1.2 with Ultimate rom, first step I've done was to do a nandroid backup from the app itself.

Than I wanted to put a "Philz kernel" so I transfered the Tar file only, from odin.

It was a mistake, now I hate miself.

Phone can't power on now, when I try to power on,

I see the "samsung galaxy note n7000" and underneath a big yellow "!" sign.

I can't enter ricovery mode, CWM works, download mode also.

Pc does recognize the phone but I can't browse it.

I think it was a stock samsung rom but I'm not sure.

please help me! I'm really desperate and sorry for even trying to do that. :crying:

Hi There,

First off, I hate to be the person who has a 0 post count and is already asking questions, however, I am more than willing to offer a financial gift for anyone who is able to help me.

I live in China and recently purchased a "replica" iPhone 5 - the built quality is incredible at the phone is (was) very fast and responsive. Unfortunatley I have managed to clear the mmc and have lost certain start up screens and menus.

I do not know if I am using a zoophone/goophone/whatever and therefore I am not sure of the correct ROM to download or how to install it. I have managed to get the phone into factory mode by holding down the volume and power button.

The phones details are as follows:

BB Chip: MT6575

MS Board: mobitek75_ics2

Kernel Ver: 3.0.13 root@zonglibo-desktop)

Android Ver. 4.1.5

SW Ver: ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1.20

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZsDaniel:
Hello!

My Xperia Mini Pro died, and I'm looking for cheap phone right now..

I found a HTC Desire for a great price, but I have some questions (I would like to use 4.1+ CM ROMs or 4.0 Sense ROM):

- On my XMP I played with Angry Birds games, Temple Run 2, GBA Emulator, Logo Quiz and games like this. On the Desire these games are playable?

- What about video playback? It's got bigger screen than the XMP, so I can watch shows on it sometimes, is the HW enough for this?

That's all for now, hope you can help! Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
If you are running a gb rom like mild wild or cm7, all of that is easily possible. Games and video playback are great. However if you want to use 4+ rom it definately wont be as smooth, but they will still be ok.

Right now I'm running 4.2.1 (check rom in my sig) and video playback is decent, and so are games like temple run 2.

Btw my quadrant benchmark score is around 1000.

If you are looking for a smooth stable 4+ rom, I would definitely recommend the paranoid rom in my sig. It's the fastest ics/job rom if tried so far.

If it was built with source it's from Nexus 7.

Fuhu has since released "something". http://www.nabitablet.com/support/source-code

Is there any possibility that the Neighbour has blocked your Phone from accessing his Wifi ? Maybe with a mac id block or something ? I cant think of any other reason that the issue should arise. Unless the network is an Adhoc one. Stock Roms dont allow connecting to Adhoc networks. Possibly you installed a mod or something in your previous rom to support Adhoc ?

Let me know if you get the issue sorted ;)
