Amazon sucks.

I actually was looking for the cheapest price myself off contract. I want to unlock it for use with at&t..

And I was so enraged when I checked amazon... I felt like it was false advertising because, I was about to order it from there on the spot..

I mean.. it has the 850 3g band for at&t... and none of at&t's phones were even rugged last time I checked.. I don't know if they still have tundra and rugby.. but, they were both ugly looking.

At any rate.. I am really hopin to grab this phone..

Anyone know where we can get the unlocked version?
[Defy General] danbutter:
You can get the Tmo phone from the their stores and they will give you the unlock code if you pay full price for it.

I was told you have to call or email support and have your receipt ready, but they'll give it to you.

Then just stick your att sim in and go!

Keep in mind that att 3g is both 850 and I think 1900, but they are moving away from 1900 IIRC so chances are you will be ok.
[Defy General] cmstlist:
This is of interest to me too. My primary carrier in Canada is Mobilicity which uses the AWS band, but all the major carriers (Bell, Telus, Rogers and their subsidiaries) use a network that is mainly 850 with some 1900 reinforcement in urban areas. The extra band is nice in case I need to use a different SIM outside my coverage area. And this would be a nice secondary phone to my Nexus One, for use when durability is necessary.

I don't know that anyone has started importing this phone in to Canada yet, but I'm close enough to the border that I can go shopping in WA state.
[Defy General] Snow_fox:
I was already aware about the unlocked code...

thats pretty good to know the odds are I won't be affected by lack of 1900, and it reinforces my desire to have that phone.

However, I'm also worried about the tmo version being more likely to be picked up and tagged with data than the unlocked version.
[Defy General] danbutter:
I think you mean att seeing that it is a smartphone and forcing you to have a data plan?

I don't think that would be an issue, but I can't say for sure.

You should go over to hofo and see if this has been asked or ask yourself.

have you actually asked Costco if they would not sell it off contract? i was planning on getting it off contract from costco crap, well when i get to california il try to pull of something with Costco and il relay it and see if it works
[Defy General] EvilOlivE:
No I haven't tried yet. I was referring to the online store. But I do have a costco membership through my work that I have yet to use. Please let us know what you find out if you ask at the store. :cool:
[Defy General] xtian63:
will do as soon as i get back to California on the 15th, gona be the best Christmas with a $290 defy if i can pull it off
[Defy General] Snow_fox:
For anyone still interested..

Motorola's offical website is offering a free charger with the defy.

The defy at motorola is only 10$ more expensive than the actual tmobile store.

So by the time you add in taxes for me to buy it locally, it would be in the neighbor hood of 420$ plus free charger means I don't have to pay as much.

I would really rather *never* use a car charger.. but, emergencies happen.
[Droid Pro General] pman219:
I am rooted.

Wondering what would happen if I install the clockwork mod and boot into recovery through ROM manager.

Will it work ?
[Droid Pro General] Rev1vaL:
I think you need to do the same thing as the droid x with the bootstrap? Not sure
[Droid Pro General] Jibreil:
Im axiously waiting for the developer of ROM Manager to create a custom recovery for Droid Pro ASAP.
[Droid Pro General] jayhammy:
The Droid 2 bootstrap recovery in the Market works! I just paid my $2.00 in the Market, downloaded, and installed the app. I could then boot into recovery. Just did my first nandroid backup for the Pro!
[Droid Pro General] Jibreil:
I will go ahead and do this once a chef releases a Custom ROM.
[XPERIA X2 General] Genky:
Hello everyone,

thank you for the information that you share in the forum.

I want to help with my little experience.

(Sorry for the google-assisted translation)

I bought xperia x2 in May 2010 when it ships in Italy.

The phone was unusable with MR1 and MR2 with a bit better but still needed reset every 2 days and several problem (I'm not a power user, simply use the phone for my business).

The battery drains faster, user interface slow, Receiving poor, African temperature apparatus using WI-FI, many problem with navigon (lock after one hour and need reset) and lost many call.

I contacted SE support Italy after several complaints and many attempts they have replaced the phone with a new one by providing a new battery (life timer zero and battery in new retail box).

For a week I use the phone, it is not fast but it's usable, never reset, and does not heat the battery with a non-intensive use also comes on the second day without problems.

Now I do not know if I was lucky or if the phone was faulty or if they have uploaded a version of the latest software.

I read a lot of message online about this (very very bad product) product so I was thinking of selling it and return to my very old phone.

My advice is go to a SE official center and make a fully reload of the software.

Peraphs there is a software release or a procedure that we don't know.

Now I'm happy (for my use of course)

Are available to understand why now the phone finally works in all the facilities hoping to be useful to other users of this phone.

Thank you for your interest to my post.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
I am running Bionox 1.9 w/Jac's Kernel. I haven't changed anything that I'm aware of, but I noticed that when I was done charging the phone on my USB dock at work that when the screen timed out, the phone shut off. If i keep playing with the screen and keep it lit up so to speak, it stays on. If I hold the power button for about 10 seconds, it will come back on. I'm pretty sure this happened before I ran the GPS update from the market which came out earlier. I booted into recovery and wiped battery stats thinking that might help, but no luck. Can anyone help me?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCharlie:
Are you overclocked? If so you may need to turn down the maximum setting or turn up the minimum setting using set cpu. Also make sure that scaling is set to conservative.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
I did change that, and it didn't seem to make a difference. I realized later that I had downloaded the GPS fix from the market, but like an idiot I was inside and it couldn't pick up any satellites. I tried later and kept getting an error message saying it had failed again. I went back to the market and removed it from the phone since I couldn't find it in ASTRO or anything like that. I eventually found the dead folder and deleted it. Problem solved so far. I'm now unsure of two things.....1: Why didn't the folder get deleted when I removed the APP? 2: Why didn't the GPS fix work? I tried searching with the exact words from the earlier posts, but it says that APP is not found. I haven't really been having big problems with GPS, except it shows me being adjacent to a highway, when I ACTUALLY on the highway. Other than that, it's been ok. Any other suggestions you guys may have? By the way, I hope I have this in the right forum, because I would still say I know way too little about these phones to tinker around without everyone here's support. I would hate to get flamed here.... See it way too much. But I see everyone's point.

[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
I'm runnin baked snack 1.6 w/ ultimate kernel...and I have ridiculous battery drain!...I have autimatic task killer, setCPU (set @100mhz-800mhz w. Conservative governing), and I'm well seasoned in the usual battery saving how to's. When I check Spare Parts and go to "Battery History" under "other usage" I can't get rid of the 100% awake time...evn though my screen may only be on for 25% of the time.

If anyone has had and solved this problem or can offer any advice please LET ME KNOW!
[Epic 4G General] Ezalis:
Make sure you are not running applications that will constantly poll the system for information. If setCPU is set to scale based on system load it may prevent the device from sleeping because it will be checking the system state too often.

Another commonly overlooked cause is from Battery Monitors. These can often poll the battery level too often preventing sleep as well.

If all else fails backup your device, wipe the data, clear the cache, and reinstall programs one by one.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Bottle of Rum. Makes anyone sleep nicely. :D
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
No need for Automatic task killer

No need to underclock the CPU to 800. This might give you like 5 minutes longer battery life per day.

Check the Running Services and see if anything looks out of order.
[Epic 4G General] Xhyperion:
right but if you can set it to auto underclock to 200-400 when in standby that adds up. Also juice defender
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Yep, thats exactly how I have mine set.
[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
Good suggestion but the only problem I have with that is it causing my phone to shut off because it's already undervolted, I have it on conservative all of the time and in the app "Android System Info" it always shows me running at 200mhz from 70% to 90% of the time anyway.
[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
I don't have any battery monitoring apps except bat stat widget...but nothing like battery indicator pro or a full on application. I'm running the Emotionless Beast theme with the percent mod in in the battery icon...I've heard rumors about this bieng a potential problem....could that be anything?
[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
I stay on top of all my running application through the phone's "running services" tap in settings and through the built in task manager...only Launcher Pro and Widget Locker are left running all the time.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
Use Overclock Widget instead of SetCPU. I find mine to be most stable at 400-1200 on, 400-600 off. ymmv
[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
Yea I think the default governer that comes with the Baked Kernel is set to performance...which I know for a fact is detrimental to the charge life of the battery...and can you underclock you CPU with Overclock Widget?
[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
Yeerp!!! Ezalis...you saved my phone mane....I backed up the whole ROM re-flashed along with the Kernel, wiped like 6x Data and Cache...and put everything back on one by one...worked like a charm, my % without sleeping is sittin pretty at 12% thanks for the help!
[Epic 4G General] Ezalis:
Not a problem, sometimes you just have to give it a clean slate to work with.
[G2 and Desire Z General] amack10:
my keyboard is turning brown were the bumpers from the screen rest. If you lift up your screen you'll see a bumper on each end that rest on each end of the keyboard. I was looking at the tmo forums and noticed a thread on it. Mine isn't near as bad as other. Some look almost burnt in and some peoples whole phones were changing color were the soft plastic is. I just put a small piece of electrical tape over the bumpers so it doesn't get worse cus its not bad now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
I haven't noticed that but am getting some discoloration on the backhousing below the battery door. I added the tmobile gel skin to help protect it somewhat. So far it has helped...

It seems that the paint could have been given an extra coat or two, or clearcoat. I have heard of many folks complaining about the paint on the keyboard edges becoming premature worn out. The gel case has some clips around that area and might help with the wear. Might be worth the $10 investment. Really wish the otterbox for the G2 would come out already...
[G2 and Desire Z General] amack10:
Ya I'm thinkin about getting some ghost armor. A lot of people on the tmo forums were actually haveing the discoloration exactly were u r. The stains from the bumpers on my keyboard is weird I wonder if its the chemicals they used to make the bumpers and the soft material that the bumpers rest on. Some peoples phones look like the bumpers actually burned an imprint on the keyboard. Apparently someone talked to an htc rep and he said it has to do with the magnets used in the phone causing the discoloration. Some people are sayin they're whole phone were the soft parts are turned green or a dingy brownish color.

[Nexus One General] mikeacela:
I recently purchased a Nexus One and its running FRG83. Im coming from a rooted droid incredible with CM but the rooting process for the N1 seems to be very different. I have searched High and low for a straight answer as to how to root the N1 but haven't found a detailed solution yet. The Nexus One I bought is unlocked. Do I need to Unlock the boot loader to obtain root? Is the Boot loader like N.A.N.D. on some of the other HTC phones?, Im confused. Also is their a 1 click root method? I rather use that or any other methods before using ADB. I suspect that it seems difficult to find a rooting method for FRG83 because many people have already rooted. Also what might be the latest radio and hboot? Also any help for the N1 would be appreciated XD. I know the Nexus s might release but I still love the N1. XD
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Latest radio is 5.12, latest HBOOT is .35

Do you have a padlock on the splash screen? If so fastboot over your preferred custom recovery and use that to install the SU binaries.

If not, there's a few one click solutions such as SuperOneClick, VISIONary+ and Z4root.

As you're on FRG83, you can expect an update to the .35 HBOOT (assuming you don't already have it) and FRG83D.
[Nexus One General] mikeacela:
What do you mean a padlock on the splash screen? I ve never herd of that ?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
You know when it boots up you have a static, multi-coloured X? If the bootloader was unlocked, you'd have a padlock beneath it.
[Nexus One General] baseballfanz:
Like this, the unlock pad lock mean unlock bootloader
[Nexus One General] mikeacela:

[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
If you read the Wiki and can't see the "Root" guide, or don't understand what's written there - you shouldn't be rooting your phone. As simple as that.

$12.49 wireless USB keyboard that plugs right in and works with the G Tab (using the CyanogenMod6.1 Beta 4, not sure about others - but I bet it probably works with all of them).

I saw it last night while we were out shopping, and just had to buy/try it. Worked like a charm right away without any tweaking required. Now I laugh that adding the keyboard makes it look like a very non-ergonomic small laptop, but hey - it was fun to see it work!

My Captivate still thinks it is charging when I unplug it from the power source??? I can't for the life of me figure this out. Contacted ATT last night and they where going to send a replacement phone and this morning I dropped my phone and cracked the screen:eek: So I call ATT and just as I thought they will not take my phone back for the replacement and said if I decided to keep the replacement phone I would be charged around $500!!! So I am going to just return the package to sender. I didn't have insurance so basically I am screwed.

Has anyone had this problem with the phone thinking it is still charging after removing it from the power source??? Could it be the battery??? Because after powering off I have to remove and reinstall the battery to get the phone to come back on. I really don't think it is a software issue with it doing it with 2.1 and 2.2 but I have been wrong before. The phone is NOT rooted.
