Need a new brand new Moto Defy+ ?

Folks in the UK can get one from Three network (Edit: NOT locked to that network) for £69.99 plus £10 PAYG top up.

Top Cash back site gives £13 cashback too

http://store.three.co.uk/view/produ...C68E1D2891602D6320F36A761F02DB?priceplan=PAYG

Found this over at HotUKdeals website. HURRY!!!

Screenshot for the doubters out there :D
[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
Super deal ...

Thats very nice of you to tell us .... I actually bought my DEFY not (Defy+) from oarageUk 2 yrs ago for £100 ...

But this one is the best ... Defy+ for less than £100 and Brand New ... Thanks a lot well get mine now ...
[Defy General] spannerz:
No problem! I just ordered mine via TopCashBack and it shows £13.71 cashback should be received after a few weeks (not always guaranteed though) so although I had to get a £10 top up plus the phone, it should cost about £67 with cashback recieved etc so I think that's not bad for a brand new Defy+, albeit locked to the Three network.
[Defy General] spannerz:
Well it arrived, totally unbranded and unlocked to any network. It's identical in every respect to the retail unlocked Defy+ that I bought from Amazon last year.

So, no sign of any network branding or locks whatsoever. A great deal I think.
[Defy General] chill today:
I have ordered one too.

Hope it comes unlocked the same. Ordered mine from 3 online, where did you order yours from?

Chill.......

[Defy General] spannerz:
Yeah I got mine from Three as well as per the link in my first post.... I'm very pleased with it.... I guess they're just shifting old stock, the battery manufactured date was July 2012.
[Defy General] 2Pints:
Just bought one form a three shop, as my old defy is battered - scrathed screen, broken battery cover, dust under the screen missing usb port cover adn so on.

As i am already on three, i didnt have to pay for a £10 top up, and it only cost £69.99, the phone is completly unlocked and will work with any sim card.

here are a few stats from the about screen

system version 45.0.2310.MB526.Retail.en.GB

Android Version 2.3.6

Baseband version EPU93_U_00.60.03

Build number 4.5.1-134_DFP-231
[Defy General] spannerz:
Yep, exactly the same as what I got..... when you went into the 3 store what proof do they need that you're an existing customer? I'm just wondering if I can go in with my new 3 PAYG sim that I got with my new Defy+ and buy another one without buying a topup?
[Defy General] 2Pints:
All they asked for was my phone number and my name that was it.

at the moent im now trying to root the thing, BL7s a different beast.

As for the rest of it, the differnce in feel between a well used Defy thats had more than its fair share of knocks and one fresh out of the box is substantial
[Defy General] spannerz:
I recently rooted my other BL7 Defy+ using a guide from here, it wasn't hard and I'll try to find the info. I just used RSDLite, the two files and bingo.

Well, actually I loaded the second file first and got the phone stuck, rebooted and tried again and bingo!

Here's the link that worked for me, choose the two files for EU and don't use one CN and one EU file.

[Defy General] 2Pints:
Ive found the guide, just waiting for the files to download - 4 minutes to go ( alegedly)

went to CEX just out of interest to see if my old defy was worth anything - and the answer was no.

The only reason why im still using an old 'outdated' phone is that there is nothing on the market that has the following

Rugged ( water resitant)

SD card

removable battery

Doesnt look pig ugly

As for stock in the three shops, out of Three stores available, only one had stock - as they had been selling like 'hot cakes' to quote one store sales bod.

Having never had a Motorola android before, what is the best info regarding root and ROM installing.

Have done it to death on HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S.

Going to read through the link from your post spannerz, and maybe see from there.

I usually like to watch a YouTube video for first timer like me.

Now rooted, what ROMs can I installed now?

All seems a bit confusing really. Would like to install CM7 or CM10, but all this Defy+ and BL7 etc has got me stumped.

I have been reading page after page, but not tryed yet.

Any advice?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] codekilla:
Hello,

I'm a n00b to this whole ROM thing. My first flash went pretty well and I love the ROM I'm using, but I seemed to have lost the option to use 3G. The ROM I flashed is the Carbon JB 4.2.2 ROM from April 5th. I've been doing some research on the site and the only thing I've found is that maybe I need to flash a new Kernel or Modem unless of course it's a problem with the ROM itself. Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi guys,

just thought I'd mention that I had six Qtek1010:s upgraded to radio version 3.28.00 today. It is not available for download yet, but you should soon be able to find it on www.qtek.se.

If you're on Vodafone in Sweden, since Saturday you need this upgrade to be able to use GPRS. Vodafone made some changes to their network to support 3G-2G handovers.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] pappa_bue:
Yes I noticed!!!!

Information is difficult

Have you any idea about WHEN?

or is there a relatively easy way of doing myself??
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] bamse:
Well.... the easiest way is to go to Engström Telecom and if you ask gently they should be more than happy to help you out.

Excellent service!

Or, you could wait until the download is available and try the upgrade yourself.

If you go to Engström, call Vodafone and make them give you a refund for the 250sek "express fee" that you will have to pay Engströms to have your phone updated while waiting.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] rokke:
Any news on this? I just got my second hand Qtek 1010, with radio rom 3.25. But I can't find the 3.28 radio rom on www.qtek.se...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] bamse:
I don't know why, but they seem to never have got around to publishing it on the website. Just contact Engström though and they should be able to help you.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] egagah:
Well I've just came across this post here that talks all about battery saving, from governors, I/O schedulers, UV, UC, etc.. From his many posts containing benchmark tests, (like this), he actually determined that UV is not going to save you alot of battery, but instead pointed out that the dominant CPU state is the dominant one instead. From my understanding, smartassv2 + sio/noop seems to give one of the best performance/powersaving among other governor/io combinations (another good contender seems to be onDemand + noop/deadline) and asks us to stay away from conservative as it takes too long to ramp up the clock speed, shifting the dominant CPU states towards higher clock speeds and actually draining more battery than usual. For more details and better explanation do read the links I've posted above

So to the main question of the post, the best powersavings he obtained is actually by using smartassv2 coupled with something called Deep Idle(DI) tweak to the kernel (details found here), and a summary of what DI do is it will "theoratically" power down some components of the phone (only CPU is explicitly stated) to achieve even more power savings, hence the name deep idle. The article is pretty confusing because it seems like having a higher clock speed during idle saves more battery (i'm assuming it gets the job done faster which in turn saves more juice in the long run) but at the same time I believe(baseless, correct me if I'm wrong) that if you overclock while gaming, the game will keep your clock speed near maximum clock speed most of the time.

So I suppose before anyone answer me about the possibilities of bringing DI into our kernels, I'm hoping someone will come to verify my understandings on the articles i've read from the provided links and do correct me everywhere that I'm wrong as I'm just a beginner in the android world :)!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bengadget:
I've been hearing that the One has issues similar to its predecessor, as far as browser multitasking. Has anyone had issues with the browser constantly refreshing when you leave, go to another app, and come back to it?

No such problem with my HTC One. Multitasked between apps and browser, different tabs stayed put(no auto-refreshing).

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shasarak:
It does it a LOT on a dating site that I use, OKCupid (when accessing the desktop version of the site). I think it may possibly be related to the number of tabs one has open, as well. But certainly it's very annoying. I sometimes do a bit of browsing on London Underground trains. (You get about 20 seconds of wifi when the train is in a station!) What I'd like to be able to do is load up multiple pages in different tabs (each one opened as a new background tab) while the connection is up and then read them in the tunnels between stations; but it insists on refreshing each tab as you go back to it, and, as there's no connection in the tunnel, you can't actually read the page, even though it's fully downloaded and should be cached.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soapbubble:
It does it pretty frequently. More with stock browser than with chrome though.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkgoon3r96:
But that doesn't happen on my Chrome on my Note II... ever! Even if I press a link by mistake I can press back and it will be stored in cache, this is probably an HTC problem then, anyone else having this issue?

Nope. Not a problem for me. Always going back and forth on my browser. No issue there
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Curiousn00b:
I agree. I can't remember if it's because I swipe it away with the recent apps button.

But sometimes the browser panics on me and closes on it's own.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincent Law:
This was NEVER an issue specific to HTC or its software. The sooner people stop spreading the FUD the better.

The only reason Android will force the browser to clear its cache of a page is because it needs to. That is, it's running low on RAM due to other services/apps and needs more. Your browser is not considered a high-level process in the priority list (it's not a service, unlike many other apps), so it'll get hit more often than other apps.

So, the reason this crops up for some people more than others is simply due to what they have running in the background (services, such as Facebook, Trillian, GMail, etc etc). The more crap you run at the same time, the more likely it's going to run out of RAM. This is how it works for ANY Android phone going all the way back to the 2.0 days. It's ALSO how it works on iOS, BlackBerry 10, and webOS (except those platforms don't use a priority system). Also keep in mind that websites these days actually take up a significant amount of RAM, especially ones with heavy amounts of Javascript and retina-level graphics.

The HTC One has 2GB of RAM, which means you have quite a bit of RAM to work with before this happens, but how often it happens is always going to be determined by how you use it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsukurimashou:
Thats false, it was an issue on the HTC One X, and thats why I went for the GS3 instead of the One X (that and battery life), and it was done on purpose by HTC, not sure if they "fixed" it or not since then.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincent Law:
No, it wasn't, no more than any other device with 1GB of RAM. I'm sure that's what you thought based on all the fud being spread at the time, but it wasn't true, as anyone who knows more about the internals would acknowledge.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkgoon3r96:
Well I think I know a lot and it was definitely HTC's fault.. it was a software preference made by HTC
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincent Law:
A preference that had no influence apparently, since all it takes is a person with a task manager to confirm what I said was true.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serialtoon:
This happens on my Nexus 4. Nothing new to see.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greengoldmello:
This is also BS. The evo lte I had always dumped the browser and this phone does it as well, even just going back and forth from the browser to the music app. The galaxy i switched to did not exhibit the same behavior. In fact, that thing would often keep the browser in memory till the NEXT DAY. This phone with 2gb ram (and 700 plus free) will dump my browser pages for nothing but time it seems
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincent Law:
It's really not. I had chrome stay in RAM for 3 full hours tonight even when playing games. Don't ever use the stock browser, they're always terrible on all platforms.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greengoldmello:
See, that's what's retarded to me. I too have also ran a heavy game and came back to the browser and my pages were still there. But let me play some music and come back a few minutes later and it's highly likely that it's been terminated :mad:

I don't use chrome because the stuttery scrolling. The stock browser is the smoothest I've ever used on android so I'm a bit smitten
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincent Law:
Chrome doesn't have any scrolling lag for me on the One.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsukurimashou:
I have the GS3 with 1GB of RAM and I never had this issue, I went to a store to test the HTC One X and I can tell there was an issue with multitasking, you're just denying the truth and you don't know what you're talking about, even HTC said it was done on purpose, thats not because you love HTC that you have to deny everthing bad from them

So yes every phone will do that with 1GB of ram if you open the browser then you open games and tons of apps and 1 hours after you switch back to the browser but the HTC One X was doing this even with one app open, and even if you switched back to the browser like 10sec after switching to the app, like I said I don't know if they changed it with an update but when it was release it was a big issue for me, and HTC saying it was done on purpose was ridiculous.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
I also had a GS3 with 1GB of ram and it constantly reloaded apps as it never had more than 300mb free.

HTC One hasn't reloaded an app for me yet although i've only had it since sunday morning.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincent Law:
I'm not denying anything bad, I'm denying things that are false.

1. HTC never said that, ever. It sounds ridiculous because it is. Go ahead and find me the quote. I'll wait.

2. If this was something HTC did in their code, then it would have been fixed in a ROM. Guess what, it never was. Sure, ROMs claimed to fix it by changing minfrees (something custom ROMs do on ALL devices), but all that does is give the device a little extra breathing room at the cost of speed.

3. Even in settings on a stock, original HTC One X, there is a setting to allow you to choose how many apps to keep in the background. The default is NOT 1 or 0. It even offers the user an option of up to 4 right there, which is pretty generous considering you'd have a hell of a time fitting 4 regular background apps in 1GB of RAM (on top of the OS and all the service-based apps).

Let's keep in mind that anecdotal evidence is the worst evidence ever.

You are very welcome.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincent Law:
The usual spin. All you got was a quote saying "One X is working as intended". It doesn't even mention ANYTHING about the sort of claims you and others have made. Stop falling for the same mistake Phone Arena did, in making connections that outright aren't there.

I also like the video they include to "demonstrate" it, comparing to Windows Phone 8, which doesn't let you run anything in the background (noting exceptions). He didn't even bother to show all the crap he had running in the background as services, haha.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsukurimashou:
http://www.mobileburn.com/19609/news/htc-claims-one-x-multitasking-is-working-as-intended

HTC's statement on the matter is as follows:

"HTC is aware of some questions in the enthusiast community about how the HTC One X handles multitasking and memory management for background apps. We value the community's input and are always looking for ways to enhance customers' experience with our devices. That said, right now multitasking is operating normally according to our custom memory management specifications which balance core ICS features with a consistent HTC Sense experience."

http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/17/htc-confirms-one-x-multitasking-tweaks-in-sense-4/

There's been quite a bit of brouhaha over at xda-developers lately about changes HTC's made to the way multitasking behaves on the One X compared to stock Ice Cream Sandwich. We're not just talking about obvious UI tweaks here -- Sense 4's horizontal, card-like arrangement vs. Android 4.0's default vertical list -- but actual differences in memory and task management. While we're not running into any problems with our One X review unit, some users have noticed that background app are getting terminated too aggressively

But yeah nothing different to other devices with 1GB of RAM, I was reading HTC one X forum on XDA when it was released and there was tons of thread talking about it.

Have you even looked at the video linked in this article? It shows the problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=W7Uo5f2vSxo#! seriously is that so hard to admit you were wrong?
