I just exchanged my gTab at the local Staples because it had a dead pixel and I was within the 14 day return window. The new one I got has a green screen wipe. My old one had a light green screen wipe. Does this mean these possibly different hardware revisions? Possibly made at different factories? Or am I just nuts?

As a side note the dead pixel prompted the manager at Staples to try to sell me a $170 2 year warranty or $220 3 year warranty.
[G Tablet General] h8rift:
It would be really funny if they just put random color wipes in different boxes, no correlation at all...just to toy with us....lol....

[Hero CDMA General] coppertop4646:
Can someone recommend a good 4x4 weather widget? I'm using Cyanogenmod so I can't use the Sense one. Also does anyone know of a good 4x4 calendar app that looks like the Sense one?
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
I don't know much about free options, but Beautiful Widgets is an excellent weather/clock widget. For a calendar, I haven't used it personally but I know a ton of people who use Pure Agenda Widget, seems to be pretty customizable. If you use Launcherpro, the paid Plus version has a calendar widget as well.
[Hero CDMA General] theimpaler747:
Yup I agree, LPP is a nice sense replacement ;)
[Hero CDMA General] coppertop4646:
Thanks, LPP is pretty much exactly what I needed. Only question though, when I started using LPP I only have 3 screens to select from, is there anyway to add screens?

I have a chance to get an HTC EVO 4G for a good price. So I would like to know, as I live in Europe if there is any chance to make it work. Is there any

custom ROM or is it posiable to convert it to DESIRE HD.

Thank you in advance, and sorry if some similar threats allready exist.

If i were you man, i would suggest going ahead and getting the EVO, like its well known, it will only hit cdma. sprint, verizon, cricket, and metro pcs as far i know. I know it wont work over there.....but think about turning around and selling it for a better profit and getting the MyTouch from tmobile or something since its a gsm network.....your call man.

Best of luck to you!

Seriously, there's no ipv6 support? I was trying to install Google goggles and it said it failed with no kernel support from ipv6. Any hope to get this in the future?
[G Tablet General] Muscleboy:
tnt 2.2 and possibly other roms removed the ip6 ipv6 module

For some unknown reason tnt and possibly other roms stripped out the kernel module for ip6. This is true as of version 2.2 and I assume previous versions. No idea if they plan on adding it in. It is in the default rom that comes with gtablet as goggles works fine. Extremely annoying.
[G Tablet General] yzf600:
The IPv4 address space has been exhausted. While you can still get IPv4 address, the will come from organisations that already allocated them from IANA.

I mean come on, my new fangled dual core Tegra2 gtab can't do IPv6 and my iPhone 3gs can? Suck. :(

But seriously, I would really like to have ipv6 support in vegan rom. I'm working on some prototype hardware that has ipv6 web servers that I would like to access from my gtab.

BTW - My hardware is a $5 microprocessor with a full ipv6 tcp/ip stack on a 6LoWPAN (low speed/power wireless ipv6) serving up web pages. Eventually I'll be able to control my lights and feed the cats with them. </geekout>

so my moms work sent her a dell net book with xp on it and no administrator pirvlages. when she connects to my tether or sometimes wile shes surfing the web and tetherd to me a blue screen will pop up and say something about a bios and system memory dump. it also says stop 0x0000007e. it seems to only be happening whil on the web. what could be causing this. she hasnt used anything but my tehter from my g2 for internet since she doesnt have internet and rarley uses her lapto cus she has her own laptop she uses at her bf house. and that laptop never does the blue screen when shes tethered to me.

Well we can't upgragde to 7 cus its a work computer and we have no admin rites. I'm not sure about the paramaters ill try and reproduce the problem and take a pic of the screen and post it. It appears to only get the blue screen when connected to my wireles tether. It was working fine at first but then the blue screen started happening. Either rite after I connect or a few minutes after. I have a tmobile g2 rooted and running cyanogen rc3. I'm using the wireless tether for root users app. Come to think of it I haveent tried the native tethering app that comes on the phones rom. When we connected the computer to a friends network with comcast internet it worked fine.

not always can you just go to safe mode, log into administrator and change your account, sometimes the administrator account is passworded itself or disabled, leaving you no way to make your account administrator unless you can *crack* the password or find another way around it

where i work we have a bootable program that just disables passwords if the user forgets it, or if they can't get administrator rights.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
You can download a password removal tool online. I use it a lot at work when I dont feel like calling the customer for the password. Its faster and you dont have to talk to pissed off customers over the phone.

yeah we use Active@ it's a really neat program and it works on xp, vista, and 7 it's a good tool. but like i said simply going to safe mode to gain administrative rights doesn't always work.

I rooted and installed the no lag fix a week ago everything was fine, today my phone was working later i saw it was off when i try to turn on it just stays on the samsung galaxy S logo, nothing else happens. I went into recovery and tried factory reset but it fails and nothing happens. I tried going to download by volume down + home + power and I hid this

I have a HTC Evo 4G with software version 3.30.651.3 from an OTA update. Is it possible to downgrade to the stock 3.30.651.2 rom then root the phone or is it to late to do anything after I accepted the OTA update?

I am trying to root my phone and use the stock rom. I am looking to root so that I can use OpenVPN. Any help would be great.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kcm117:
Hey Guys,

I use my g2 as a mp3 player in the car via auxillary cable. Sometimes when im driving around the music player just goes crazy. It skips between songs after like 5 seconds in a random order, after i hit pause it will start playing again and i cant even listen to the songs i want because its jumping around.

Anyone else have this problem? im thinking maybe its due to overheating from the overclock, when im playing music and navigating the phone goes near 100 degrees F, anyone else have this problem?

Even if i set the cpu back to stock it has the problem, so i just shut the phone off for a while and reboot, and it goes back to normal after a while.

G2, Rooted, Stock Rom with Bacon bits, 1.4Ghz overclock.
[Defy General] jk1234:
Hi I'm considering the Motorola Defy, sim free from AmazonUK, but I have a few queries.

Are micro SDHC cards compatible with this phone? I know some devices can only use SD and not SDHC. Also is there a size limit for a memory card?

Is Android 2.2 confirmed by Motorola for official release?

Is it possible to selectively turn off 3g? I will be in Wifi zones most of the time I'm on the internet and don't have a data plan.

Can the flash be used as a flashlight? Alright this won't sway me but it could be useful.

What is MotoBlur? and do I need twitter/facebook to set it up or can I just use an email address?

I was also considering the HTC Desire however this phone seemed very similar but £100 cheaper, is there anything I would be desperatly missing? I know this has a slightly slower processor, but anything else.

Thanks I really appreciate you taking the time to read this.
[Defy General] disturkis4u:
Yes. No size limit.

Yes. Q2 of 2011

Yes.

Yes. download tesla LED from market.

Don't need twitter/facebook. Motoblur is a free service. You use your existing email and it let's you manage things from website including remote wipe.
[Defy General] jk1234:
Thanks disturkis4u.

Also just a couple more questions.

Is the model with white sides the US T-mobile branded model? and are the other models completely black?

Finally, does the OS affect the compatibility of certain apps ie. would some apps be for Android 2.2+ therefore not work on 2.1? Seeing as the Defy is currently behind the latest OS I wondered if app compatibility could be a problem especially if I decide to keep the Defy for quite a while.
[Defy General] disturkis4u:
white sides is the t-mobile version. Not sure of all black models.

There are some apps that are 2.2 only. From what i've seen those tend to be the google ones like gmail 2.2, youtube, chrome extension etc.
[Defy General] mariu$:
Wait dont buy it

People arround the world reported that the earspeaker becomes unusable after from 1 day to 3 weeks

Motorola Hasnt said anything

android-hilfe.de has polls and discusions, also the motorola support forums has examples
[Defy General] scrannel:
On the Motorola non-US site there are a lot of reports of the phone sounding like it's muted on a call and only speakerphone works. Most of these are from Germany, but they have had the phone the longest. I have seen a very few on the US site. I bought mine when it was first released in the US and so far have no issues. So far. I really like this phone and would rather have to get it fixed than get another phone because I don't like anything else out there... except the Nokia N8. Here's a link to the non-us Motorola Defy forum. Decide for yourself.

[Defy General] Sorensiim:
I sold my Htc Desire and got the Defy instead, havent looked back. Only thing I miss is the online rom kitchen over at Modaco, but I see a lot of devs getting the Defy, so I'm confident that we'll see a lot of custom Defy roms soon, or at least a lot of hacks and mods. I love that I no longer have to baby my phone (I tend to break things) and so my german Defy has the best in-call sound I've ever tried, way better than the Desire, whose speaker I broke (6 foot drop onto concrete, my bad) after 3 days.

Oh and Froyo is confirmed for O2 branded Defys from Germany for Q1 2011, so the 2.2 roms shouldn't be that far away. Rumors are also circling that China Mobile will start shipping Froyo-powered Defys "soon"...
[Defy General] Step666:
That's not 100% true.

I have a Defy with white sides purchased from Carphone Warehouse in the UK - completely unlocked and un-branded.

At the end of the day if the earpiece goes I will send it back and get it replaced/repaired, it doesn't really concern me that out of thousands of phones sold a handful have developed faults
[Defy General] jk1234:
Hi, seeing as you had a Desire what are the main things I would be missing if I decided to go for the Defy, the only thing I can really tell is that the Defy has a slightly slower processor, how does this compare to the Desires?

Also I saw in a couple of online videos there is a bit of lag when using pinch to zoom can anyone tell me how bad this is?

Finally if in a wifi zone (which I am connected to eg. at home) when using the browser will the Defy automatically use wifi before mobile internet?

PS. thanks for the heads up on the earpiece problem I think I'll go for it anyway as I have been slightly put off by the Desire due to widespread random reboot issues and to me this is less of a problem (and seems less common), so if need be I'll get it repaired.

Thanks all.
[Defy General] scrannel:
The benchmarks have been pretty good on this phone. In real life I only occasionally notice a lag when pushing through the app drawer.

Wifi: assume you are on T-Mo USA and will have wifi calling app? If so it has a selection to favor wifi connect, or even wifi only. With wifi favored, mine choses wifi over 3G if the wifi signal is good. I suppose it's possible it may differ with different routers.
[Defy General] Sorensiim:
Go for Launcher Pro or Adw Launcher. No more lag!
[Defy General] Higgsy:
+1 Launcher pro FTW!
[Defy General] scrannel:
I've read that Launcher Pro is a battery drain. Is this true?
[Defy General] Neo Cortex:
I can get a free upgrade from the Hero to the Defy. Is the camera a noticeable step up? How does it compare in low light? Is the flash any good?
[Defy General] rbeier1221:
Not that i have ever noticed. used it on the Cliq and never had an issue. Haven't had the defy long but I don't see any big drain by using Launcher Pro.
[Defy General] Higgsy:
Yes imo the camera is better

I'm going to order this tomorrow, just 2 more questions.

Can it handle 720p playback?

How is navigation on this device?

Thanks.
[Defy General] Sorensiim:
Get CoPilot Live if you want navigation on Android. Not only will it give you offline maps, you'll get the fastest navigation you have ever seen. My TomTom is a freakin' dinosaur now.

Link me to a 720p clip and I'll try playing it back, I can even film it for ya :)
[Defy General] jk1234:

Do any of these methods work on the Defy to disable mobile data? http://www.mydigitallife.info/2010/...ata-connection-2ggprsedge3g-on-android-phone/
[Defy General] tim440:
My earpiece went this morning. No sound's coming out of it at all. Apart from that I've been very happy with the phone. If you buy one, I'd wait a while before doing anything that might jeopardise your warranty.
[Defy General] scrannel:
Where are you located and when did you buy the phone is you don't mind telling us? Also, how often did you use the 3.5mm stereo jack?
[Defy General] tim440:
I'm in Spain. I've had the phone for nine days and used the stereo jack to listen to music, but used it to make a call last night for the first time.

Have you had the same problem?
[Defy General] scrannel:
No. I've had my phone since November 5th and have no problems. I asked about your location because it does seem the majority of people having this issue are in Europe. Also, I've read that people who use the stereo jack also have this problem sooner.
[Defy General] fishbowlhead:
Few questions foe a new defy owner.

1. why cant you copy and paste (anything) from emails or the web?

2. the mobile radio standby has drained over 50 of the battery in a day, surely there's something not quite right there? any ideas how to aliviate this as otherwise the phone isn't using much power up at all on everything else, mobile data is turned off by the way.

Cheers guys.
[Defy General] scrannel:
1) I do not use the stock email app. In a web page go into menu > select text.

2) Do you mean you are turning off the phone's radio in the INFO menu? Not clear what you mean.
[Defy General] sionyboy:
I have a question too! Galaxy S owner, fed up of the lag and wants the biggest screen/cheapest Droid going to replace it (although I will keep an eye on the earpiece issues before jumping in!)

When in the internet browser, when you zoom in on a page will the text automatically resize itself? I read a review the other day which seemed to suggest that it did not.
[Defy General] Step666:
The browser should be the same as the one your Galaxy S has.
[Defy General] sionyboy:
Cool, I thought that was the case, but the review didn't seem to clear. It just said it had no 'text reflow' in the browser, but maybe that refers to something else.
[Defy General] Step666:
Just tried it out on the BBC website, it's a bit hit and miss.

Of course, there are other browsers available for Android too...
[Defy General] sionyboy:
On HTC it is automatic, the text wraps itself based on how much you zoom in, but on the galaxy s you have to zoom in and then double tap the screen to get it to re-fit, not sure if it might be the same on the Defy
[Defy General] Step666:
It's halfway between the two, sometimes I needed to double-tap, sometimes it seemed to do it automatically.
[Defy General] DeathJester:
Has anyone done a teardown yet? It'd be useful to know if this earphone speaker issue is related to a switch in the 3.5mm socket getting jammed / damaged by repeated actuation. I know my Desire picks up when there's headphones connected and routes sound from the external speaker to the headphones, so guess the Defy would have a similar feature.
[Defy General] scrannel:
This Russian site did a tear-down and I'm not really sure what their conclusion is and whether what they did is actually conclusive enough to come to any real conclusion. Judge for yourself.

Go here: ' androidforums.com/motorola-defy/233137-so-i-took-my-defy-apart-last-night.html'
[Defy General] DeathJester:
Thanks both. From the Android Forums link, the 3.5mm jack is built into the rear case and not soldered onto the board. At least that would make it an easy replace... Still, Eldar's site seems to suggest it's the speaker itself.

All very odd... Would still get one, though :p
[Defy General] scrannel:
Deathjester,

Yeah, everything always ends up seeming inconclusive. Thus far. BTW, are you on Orange? Don't they have wifi calling? If so, would your Defy come with that app?
[Defy General] jk1234:
I have a charger from an old phone which used the micro USB port, however the charger is one unit (ie. not a usb cable + power adapter) am I right in thinking I could use this to charge the Defy?
[Defy General] acvaristul:
Yes, you can do this... I use one miniUSB charger from Nokia E52 and my Defy is charging well.

PS: Sorry for my poor english, I'm not a native english speaker.
[Defy General] DeathJester:
Potentially yes, I could enable calling over WiFi if Orange supported it.

That would actually be very useful, as I have fairly terrible reception at work... Still, I don't have much in the way of minutes on my tariff (data-heavy) so I plan to use WhatsApp for messaging and Skype or similar for calls.
[Defy General] Jt612:
Didn't really think this was worth a new thread so ima just hijack this one seeing as there's no "quick questions/FAQ" thread, so i just got my defy great phone etc etc. But before I root it (z4root) would it be advisable to do a backup or whatever its called beforehand so i can revert back to unrooted if i ever have to warrenty it? and if so how?
[Defy General] Step666:
Un-rooting is as quick and as simple as opening Z4root again and click an 'undo' button, no need to make a backup.
[Defy General] Jt612:
Ok thanks, and I guess if I can't get into z 4 root the phone is screwed enough that they can't check.

[Defy General] Dalamak:
if you can't afford a high end, or don't need the added features, get this phone, Root, recovery, OC, blur removed it is a realy nice phone, and I hope Dev's and chefs catach on to that
[Defy General] jmoore2:
Ive seen this recovery term about here, is anyone kind enough to explain what it is/what the benefits are?
[Defy General] rbeier1221:
Recovery is standard on android phones and is a method of rebooting to restore your phone if you have issues. The method of getting to recovery varies slightly; on the defy it is power on while holding the down volume key.

When talking about recovery along with a rooted phone it is usually a custom built recovery designed to circumvent any security blocking the ability to install custom ROMs. It also allows for the backing up of your device, among other tools.
[Defy General] jk1234:
I've had it a couple of days now and there appears to be a crack on the screen under the gorrila glass so I'm probably going to return it. How should I prepare the phone for return? Should I just remove the SD card and do a factory reset?

Also when I get the replacement would it be fine to just put my used SD card in it and will motoblur load my contacts and other email accounts?

Thanks
[Defy General] rbeier1221:
Essentially yes to all of that. You may have to backup the sd card, wipe and restore it, but often you can just swap it.
